Dedicated to her because she kept me up haha ^.^
Jeydon's POV
Declan parked the car in front of the school and I got out. Aren't you coming?"
"No." he said and drove off.
What's up with him? Why is he being so mean towards me. I hope it's not because of yesterday. I don't even know why he dislikes Zane.
Mom likes Zane. She thinks he's a good kid. If he didn't smoke and do drugs then maybe he'll be a good kid. I like him too.
I walked to my locker and was pushed against the locker. "Watch where you're going pansy." someone spat. I winced.
The guy walked off and I silently cried. It's okay. It's just one guy. It's not like everyone is saying it. I opened my locker and grabbed my things. I closed my locker and went straight to Mr. Griffin's classroom.
"Jeydon, take a seat." he smiled and I did. "How are you today?"
"Well, I was pushed against the locker and was called a pansy." I tell him and he nodded.
"Do you know what this person looks like?"
"No sir." I say and he nodded and grabbed a notepad. He started writing in it. "W-when did you come out to your parents?"
Mr. Griffin set his notebook down and sat back in his seat. It was really quiet in here but that's only because he's the guidance counselor. It's smelled of pineapple for some odd reason. He had peace signs posters posted all around the room and a few gay pride posters too. I noticed a photo of him and Mr. Reyes, the gym coach. They were sitting in front of each other, smiling. Eyes locked with one another. Both eyes sparkling with love and passion.
"Well, when I first found out I was gay, I felt like an abomination to god. I'm a Christian and I was always told that being gay was a sin and that all homosexuals should burn in hell. I was afraid to tell my mother and father because they believed that homosexuality was a sin. I read the bible so many times and did not see anything saying Homosexuality was a sin. Plus, it wasn't god or Jesus's saying this, it was just these men who write down words on a piece of paper.
"Anyways, how would you know if Jesus said those things? Do you have actual proof? But anyways, coach and I started hitting it off and we started to get a little more closer,"
I DID NOT NEED TO KNOW THAT.
"When I turned 19 I decided to tell my parents since I have already graduated high school and gotten enough money to get into college. Coach Reyes was with me when I told my parents. It was the hardest thing to do in my entire life, but I managed to make it through." he smiled with the same sparkle in his eyes from the picture.
"So, what happened?" I ask.
"I said, mom, I'm gay."
"What happened after that?"
"All hell broke loose and she called me names. Dad didn't say anything but just to calm her down. He then told me to leave the house for a few days. Or just until mother stopped freaking out."
I don't know why I cried but I did. It had me thinking what would my parents would say if they knew I were gay. Would they be ashamed of me? Would they want me as their son? I know I'll have Declan but where would I go?
"I'm scared." I tell him and he cocks his head to the side.
"Scared of what?"
"Scared for the fact that I'll be alone for the rest of my life."
