This cannot be happening, my journal someone has it. They are going to find out all my deepest secrets, about me liking Jake. This is serious, what if Josh has it? No if he does then im screwed, my mum they might tell my mum. My mum she will freak out if she finds out, Josie walked over and saw me pacing the floor.

"Adam what's happened?" she said, "my journal its gone, it has everything in it and I mean EVERYTHING" I said. "Whoa slow down, stop for a minute. What do you mean everything?" she asked grabbing my shoulders. "I mean everything, the bullying, the fact im gay the guy I fancy. In the wrong hands its catastrophic!" I replied.

"Ah crap" she said, "Crap seriously this is terrible. I need to find it" I answered searching through my locker and the floor. After half an hour looking, I had no luck. I leant against the wall and ran my fingers through my hair, Josie walked over to me. "Its gone Adam, we cant do anything else now we don't know who took it" she said. I realised she was right, but I needed to tell my mum before someone else did.

Later that night...

I turned my key in the door and called my mums name, she glanced down from upstairs. "Hey Adam, school ok?" she asked, "Yeah mum its cool, I need to speak to you all in the kitchen in 5" I answered. "Ok baby" she called back as I dumped my bag on the floor.

We are sitting round the table now, mum and dad are staring at me. "What's wrong Adam?" my dad asked. "I have something I need to tell you, I don't know if its something you want to hear" I said. "Oh god you haven't got some girl preggers have you?" my dad asked, "Oh god no dad" I answered.

They sighed, "Mum, dad im gay" I said. They blinked at me, "Well we kind of worked that one out" my mum said. I smiled, "But that's not all, I've been getting bullied by some homophobe at school. I have a journal with everything in it, but its gone missing" I said. My mum and dad just stared open mouthed, "why didn't you tell us?" my dad questioned.

"I didn't know how to" I answered, "and this journal, when you say everything" my dad asked. "He means everything babe, the fact he's gay, the fact he's getting bullied and all his crushes. The whole shebang" my mum answered. I nodded "yeah dad literally everything, now its gone and everyone at school is going to find out" I said as a tear escaped my eyes.

"They wont find out Adam, you will get it back" my dad said. "You don't know that dad, I cant have them find out. If they find out who I like they will have more things to launch at me" I said.
