Wrong Body(transgender)

01

"Alex, let him be. After all he's wanted this since he was little. Ever since I've caught Milo with the scissors in the shower saying he wants to get rid of his penis.. isn't right. I asked him why.. he said he has a boy body, but girl brain, he wants a vagina not a penis," Micheal says sipping on his beer. 

"What do I do, mike? When you told me of the incident, I was shook. Yes, I just assumed he was gay from always dressing in Taylor's and Lauren's clothing when they'd hang out, I didn't care if he was gay. I don't know mike, I'm scared," Alejandro repositioned himself in his lawn chair.

"You love your son, no? Well if you do, see how it goes. Maybe moving away would help. Give it a few years, after all you did get a job offer back in Colorado. If he's the same after the move, start him on girl hormones, and mike? Let him grow out his hair, he always uses the towels as hair when he comes over. Since Clara is always with the kids, leaves me to do the washing," mike wipes away a fake sweat.

"I already discussed it with Sinuhe. Milo is gonna be extremely upset he's leaving his best friend. Lauren and him are attached by the hip. Look at them," Alejandro points at the two little children running around with sparklers, waving their mini fires in the air.

"Yeah, after all he's 8. He already knows what he wants. He wants to be a girl. I mean he already has a feminine face, and structure. If you're gonna choose to put him on estrogen, do it quick so he doesn't develop a masculine figure," Mike gestures his hand.

"How do you do it mike,you Know what to do, and handle it perfectly," Alejandro buries his face in his hands.

"Aye, Alex. I guess being a Psychologist helps. You're job is good too, I mean Alex come on, you're a astronomy teacher. I don't even know what the stars are made up of," Micheal compliments.

"Thanks mike, you always know how to make me understand things."

"No problem, when you get back tell me how's he's doing or she, don't really care what Milo wants to be. Just as long as he's happy."

"Okay, I will."

"Papa, I'm a girl, I'm not Kaleb or Milo!" Eight year old Milo screams at his father, while in tears.

"Then who are you?" Alejandro sighs.

"I am Camila."

Alejandro crouches down on his knees, wiping away his daughters tears.

"Okay, Camila do you want to go shopping. Give away you're old boy clothes to the needy?" Alejandro whispers, earning a smile from the child.

"Come one Camila, we have shopping to do. Let's make it quick, mama might be home in two hours or so."

"Papa, Lauren wrote me a letter!" Camila runs throughout the house waving the envelope in the air.

"Oh do we now, let's open it!"

"Okay it says 'Hi Milo! I miss you! Hope you are settled well in Colorado. Don't forget about me. I look at our star every night when I look up from the window. Some people are teasing me saying that you didn't want me anymore, and you left. Well anyways, remember Shawn? We're partners for the whole 4th grade (I want you instead) but anyways mrs.Cyrus died a few weeks after you left. She was getting old anyways. Bye Milo!! Xoxo Lauren!

P.s big brother Austin helped me with the letter. Xoxo' ... but papa I'm Camila, not Milo!" Camila huffs in anger. Also cringing on her dead name.

"I know sweet heart, she just doesn't know," Camila's father says.

"I never want to talk to her again!" Camila huffs as she runs to her room.

"Mami, it hurts," Camila's fist tighten as she receives her shot.

"I know, I know," Sinuhe kisses Camila on her forehead.

"Beauty is pain right?" Doctor Torres giggles as she takes off her gloves.

"Camila, its been years since you haven't read Lauren's letters. You're like what 15? It's been 7 years since you've read the letters, give it a try please?" Camila's father begs.

"Fine" Camila huffs, as she puts on her sandals, and walks out the door. It's Wednesday, the time Lauren's letters should have arrived.

The small brunette huffs as she opens the blue mailbox. She grabs the stack of envelopes, and makes her way towards her house.

She looks through the stack and sees her dead name, Kaleb Milo Cabello.

She cringed at her ex name. She sighed and gave it a chance. She sat down on her couch, setting aside the other stack. Opening the envelope, she unfolds the paper.

'Hey Milo, I've noticed you haven't been returning my letters. My dad says you're going through a situation, I write to you every month or two. So much has happened! You know Shawn? He's my boyfriend! Can't you believe that, gosh he's hawt! He and his friends are so nice, he introduced me as 'his girl'.

~
I wrote on the same paper as last entry. Shawn broke up with me, he says he loves me.. but not in a romantic way. He's been really skeptical lately, he doesn't even want to kiss me or do anything. I understood, I mean I'm a little upset, but he broke it off as nice as it can be. He's a good guy. He says us dating was kinda given to us knowing how long we've known each other. Anyway I might not be giving you letters as much as I do now. Bye Milo! With love, Lauren. <3

I cringed. She didn't really hate it, she just disliked it walks given to her as her ex boy self.

One day she plans to tell Lauren who she really is. Just... not today.

"But mom, I just want to go out to the movies with my friends!" 16 year old Camila whines.

"No Camila, get packing we are moving."

"No you took me away from Lauren, now you're taking me away from my friends, so unfair!"

"I'm not unfair, because we're moving back to Miami. So quit whining and go pack. Our flight is tomorrow at noon," Sinuhe lets out a small smile seeing her daughters change in attitude.
