"I fell in love with him."

--

"My name is Alena, I am sixteen years old and have been kicked out by my assigned parents, Alex and Estela, for being a breeder," I paused to look at their expressions, and sighed in relief once I saw they were okay. "I knew I was different maybe... last year? Because I had felt attracted to.. My best friend."

My feet tapped the floor under me, not knowing what else to do with two boys staring to me as I poured out my feelings to them.

"I had recently gotten out of a relationship with a former girlfriend, after numerous times of trying to fit in and be in a successful relationship I realized it just wasn't going right for me. I even tried to be the dominant one, whatever that means and I couldn't even do that right." I sighed, rubbing my forehead.

"Basically, I fell in love with him. My best friend, Matthew, and this is his house. He just moved today, but left the window open and I was able to get in here without tripping alarms or anything and now we're in this situation." I finished my story, knowing I left out key details of past events.

"Wow, so you're straight then?" Cameron asked, a hint of confusion lacing his voice.

I nodded simply, realizing that this is the first time I've outed myself to someone I haven't known for a while. I waited for the backlash, but was incredibly happy when Nash stood up and hugged me.

"It's gonna be okay, we won't shut off your light here, Cameron and I can cover it."

My eyes widened once he said the last few words, and tears sprung at my eyes. Why were they being so nice to me? Was it because I was different? Or were they just kind people in this horrid world?

"Oh no, that'd be too much to ask for! Y'all are basically my age if not a little bit older, how could y'all afford something so expensive?" I asked, concern lacing my mood.

"Well, when you work for the government you don't really need to worry about a price tag. Plus, my parents are breeders, if that is the correct term for them, and I've seen how people treat them. I don't mind spending a little out of my paycheck to give a little to someone in need," Nash replied.

I stood there in shock, only gathering a little of the information that was said to me. "Your parents are straight? Are you straight? Are their more people that are straight?"

It was an incredible feeling to know that there were other people out there like me, of course I knew this, seeing how Matthew's parents were straight but I thought there were only a select few.

"So many questions," Nash laughed. "But yes, like I said my parents are straight. I however am not, I'm actually promised to someone-"

Cameron interrupted. "Who?"

Nash rolled his eyes. "Food damnit, now let me be! Anyways, there are more people that have outed themselves, but no teenagers as far as I know besides of course, you."

I stood there shocked, not knowing how to react.

"Did you just say you're promised to food?" Cameron asked, breaking the silence as he bursted into laughter.

I laughed too, wondering how I had never met these people before. I knew for a fact that they have never had a dull moment together.

"Cameron, you're so difficult," I could almost hear Nash facepalm in his mind as he spoke.

"We actually have to go now Alena, but we'll be back tomorrow with food. Try your best to not leave the lights on at night, and lock the door when we leave. Who knows what kind of people will wander inside." Nash directed me as we all walked downstairs.

I'm the type of person to wander inside a house that's been left behind, I chuckled in my mind.

I bid a farewell to Nash and Cameron, shutting the door behind them and locking it. I went back upstairs to my little set up and put everything back where I had it.

Everything was falling into place, finally.
