I broke up with Chris yesterday. He didn't take it that well. Now it's time to tell Mummy and Daddy. I sit into my Aston Martin Valkyrie which Daddy just bought me. I pulled up at their small flat in Knightsbridge. I see Coco isn't here, which I'm very thankful for.
'Mummy, Daddy. I'm here!' I shout, walking in the door.
'Kitchen!' Mummy shouts back.
I walk into the kitchen and the smells of Mummy's cooking invades my nostrils. She's cooking Spaghetti Bolognase, my favourite dish.
'I need to talk about something, Where is Daddy?' I ask.
'Television room sweetie.' Mummy said.
'Could we all meet in the sitting room? I really need to tell you something' I tell her.
'Of course sweetheart, let me just finish this.' She says, 'you go get your father'.

I walk into the Television Room and walk up to Daddy.
'Oh Poppet, it's lovely to see you' he says hugging me,  'why are you here?' He asks.
'I need to talk to you and Mummy about something. We are meeting in the Sitting Room in five minutes.' I say while walking out.
Well here goes nothing. What is the worst that could happen?

Ten minutes later we were all sat in the sitting room.
'What is it then?' Daddy asks.
'Well, um, it's hard to say. I broke up with Chris, and I'm um, I'm a lesbian' I stutter.
'YOUR A WHAT!?' Daddy shouts.
'Calm down Theo' Mummy says, confusion clear in her voice, 'Now, Emerald, please explain'.
'Well I'm lesbian and I've known for ages but you are homophobic and I didn't want to let you both down so I dated Chris. I then met Charlotte. My Charlotte. Sorry. I just love Charlotte and she makes me feel loved and special. So to sum up, I am lesbian and I'm in love with a girl called Charlotte and she loves me back'. I say, shaking like mad.
'Get out now and leave your keys down ' my daddy whispers angrily. I know not to mess with him. I gingerly get the keys from my purse and place them on the coffee table and walk up and leave. I then see him walk after me.
'And be out of the flat I bought you by tomorrow night' he shouts after me.
I cannot help but cry. I sit on the pavement and wail. I have no way home, I'm now homeless and Charlotte will hate me. I need Coco. I pull out my phone to text her to pick me up and maybe ask if I can crash on her couch until I get some more work. Maybe as an English teacher. I then see I have a message. It's Charlotte. It said her boyfriend has kicked her out of their apartment. I will have to see if Coco will take two homeless people. I get out my phone and just hope and pray she can help. I slowly text Coco, she'll help us I'm sure of it, even if it is a couple of days, neither me nor Charlotte have any money coming in or work as we aren't filming at the moment.
I see the bubble of Coco typing and at first instantly asking anything.
'Sure, whose the lucky girl?'.

Much thanks for the help with this chapter to @charitchiestrash , and I'm so so sorry I haven't updated in ages!
