In Stereo in Bermuda

I'm REALLY Stuck in the Grind Right Now...

ETHAN'S P.O.V
I shut the door behind Lara and I slowly walk to sit in one of the seats provided. "So Ethan, what's up?" Lara asks as she sits down in front of me. I take in a couple of deep breaths.

I eventually say, "Lara. It's obvious that you know Gala and I are together but there's something I've been hiding for a couple of weeks and by the time I finish talking about it, you would be the first person to know about it."
Lara gestures, "Continue..."

"Well, do you know what it's called when someone is sexually attracted to both genders...let me know later. Ok so the thing is, I like Jakob...and I mean, I'm crushing on him really bad. It started a couple of days after new years and it developed pretty quickly.

I still love Gala but I also love Jake. And I'm stuck with who I should choose too. I mean I've known Gala romantically for almost a year but I've know Jakob for longer. I can tell that he doesn't like me but I can't move on...I just can't.

And to make matters worse, my family is religious and my parents are homophobes. One night, they even said to Tahlia and I

《If either of you end up falling for someone the same gender, do not expect any support from us, infact, we'll kick you out of the house and want nothing to do with you. You'se kids don't want that now do you. So stay straight and we'll love you and support you with all our heart...》.

So you can tell what their reaction will be if I opened up to them. That means I'm screwed...I'M MENTALLY SCREWED LARA!" I clench my whilist I go up and accidentally punch a hole in the wall, the glass bookshelf going down with it and kicking the stretch-out chair I was sitting on earlier to the side.

I sit on the ground and screw my face in my hands. "What am I supposed to do?" I whined, stretching out the 'o'.
"Come....now hush my child," Lara whispered with her arms opening out. I come in for a hug...I'm glad she understands.

After a couple of minutes Lara pulls back and says, "Now listen up. You know how you asked if I knew what it was called when someone is sexually attracted to both genders?"
I nod.
"Well that's called a Bisexual, also called 'Bi'. But don't feel weird 'cause you're no the the only one. I have loads of friends at my school that are Bi and Homo. And no matter what happens, I'll be here for you okay? It takes a lot of guts to open up to someone about their sexuality like you just did."

I look up and sniffle, trying to hold my tears back.
"Its okay...you can cry..." Lara says comfortingly as I completely saturate her in my tears for ten minutes.

After I cry my heart out, Lara finally asks, "You wanna come out now?" I nod while she grabs my hand and walk out together...
