*VIC'S POV*
Today's the day. Today is the day I tell my mom that I'm gay. I already know she's going to hate me and probably going to kick me out, and that's why I've made arrangements to go live with my grandparents in Ohio. After school is when I'm telling her, and when I leave I'm taking Mikey with me. I know there is probably going to be some issues with that, but at the moment I really don't care. It wouldn't be good for him to stay with our crappy mother, if you can even call her that.
I was walking to school like I did any morning because I only lived a few blocks away and the weather was actually pretty nice for a morning in October. "Vic! My man!" I snapped out of my daze when I heard my friend Gabe running over to me.
"Ay Gabe! How's it goin buddy?" We did one of those weird, bro hug things as we greeted each other.
We started towards the school to get to class. "So, you're going to Jaime's party tomorrow night, right?" Oh shit! I completely forgot about it.. I can't go because by then I'll be on my way to Ohio and I can't change the date. If I do then I'll just chicken out and I'm as prepared as I can be to tell her today. Gabe knows I'm gay but I completely forgot to tell him I'm leaving. Just slipped my mind and I shrugged in response.
"Oh yeah about that.." I paused thinking about how to tell him. "Know how I like dudes?" He nodded as an answer seemingly impatient. "I decided that I'm going to tell her and I already know she's going to kick me out so I made plans to move to Ohio with my grandparents.. Don't worry though I'll make sure to visit and call and stuff all the time." He didn't look to happy with that.
"Ugh dude..." He sighed, seeming extremely unhappy with what he had just heard. "Why didn't you tell me before? Where you just going to leave me with the two idiots?" The small chuckle he sounded showed that he wasn't too pissed off. Good. This is good. "Why are you telling her anyway if you know you're going to have to leave?"
It was almost time for first hour. "Look Gabe, class is about to start so we can continue this conversation at Lunch, ok?" I didn't give him the chance to respond before running off to English.
The next few classes felt like they went on forever. I guess that was okay though because I needed to think about what I was going to tell Gabe because I didn't want to make him mad, and by the time lunch rolled around I think I had it figured out.
I walked to our usual spot outside of the cafeteria in the hallway and waited for the rest of the gang. They usually got food from the small store the school has during lunchtime, and sometimes I'd get a cookie but today I decided not to, so I just sat. Soon enough though they all showed up. "So, ready to explain?" Oh boy, he got straight to the point.
"Heheh, yeah.." I paused for a moment to remember what I decided to say. "So, long story short I'm tired of hiding who I am from my mom. I just want to live and be myself and if I go live with my grandparents then I can do just that. I'm sorry if that sounds selfish but ya know.." Surprisingly he just nodded in agreement.
"What about lil Mikey?" Of course he'd ask about him. Gabe always treated my little brother like his own because his only brother ignored him. Sometimes he would come over to play with Mike, and it was honestly adorable. One time he came over and they made a fort and watched movies all night in it together and had a sleepover. At that time I was still figuring out my sexuality and may or may not have had a crush on him.
"Already thought that through. I'm taking him with me no matter what. It wouldn't be fair for me to leave and have him be stuck there with that she-devil. Who knows what kind of shit she could and would do to him. The only reason she doesn't mess with him now is because she knows I'll beat her ass." Gabe looked genuinely upset when I told him. He was after all, losing his best friend and little brother.
"You sure you can't maybe like, let me adopt him?" I shook my head lightly and gave him a sympathetic look and murmured a sorry.
I leaned a bit closer to him and whispered, "Could you maybe tell the others what's going on when they ask you where I am?"
"Can't you tell them?" Once again I shook my head.
" I'm sorry but no. They'll be pissed and try to talk me out of it and I can't deal with that stress weighing me down." And with that the lunch bell rang and we all got up and went our separate ways to class, all saying goodbyes. Since Gabe and I had next hour History together we walked side by side through the hallway in saddened silence.

"See you around then?" I can't believe this but he actually had tears in his eyes slowly building, willing their way down his cheeks.
"Definitely." I turned and started my way home when Suddenly I heard my name being called.
"Vic! Vic wait!" I turned around and saw Gabe quickly coming towards me and hugged me. It felt nice. Dammit now I'm starting to cry. "I'm going to miss you. Give Mikey lots of love from me ok?" His voice was shaky and full of so much pain. It hurt knowing that it would probably be months before I ever saw him again.
Eventually we let go, said our final goodbyes and went our separate ways. The walk home was a stressful, but peaceful one at the same time. I knew exactly what I was going to do once I walked into the door, but I wasn't prepared for the reaction I got.
