Nothing Wrong With Being Gay

Happy Birthday Mom

Zamir's POV

Today was my mom's birthday. I don't even wanna get out of bed. When I woke up this morning, I heard the sound of someone crying. I got out of bed and walked towards Xavier's room. I opened the door and saw him crying. I had never seen him cry before. I didn't really know what to do. I went and sat down next to him, and comforted him....

I walked in my room and got dressed. It was only 7:30. I put on a red long sleeve shirt, my black leather pants, and my red and black Jordans. I stuffed my homework in my bookbag, and walked out my room. I dropped my bag on the counter, turned the tv on, and found me some breakfast.

When I turned the tv on, the news was on. I grabbed a bowl, some milk, the cereal, and a spoon.

News Reporter:

Last night,police released Tyrell Ruffin, who was found guilty of the murder of Ricardo Montrell. He was released on a $ 10,000 bail. We have more on this story after the break....

OMFG!!!!!!! Why can't I just have one normal day. I don't even wanna leave the house anymore. The only reason I go is because I promised my mom I would and I don't wanna grow up to be a bum. I ran into X's room and told him. I didn't get to finish my cereal, so I grabbed a poptart, a bottle of water, and my bookbag, and ran out the door.

I ended up just staying home. Half way down the street from the apartment, I broke down and started crying. I don't think I'm in the best condition to go to school. I sat on the couch and had X email my principal, before he left for work. I took my shoes off and went in my room. I put my shoes back in the box. I opened up my closet and dug all the way to the back. I pulled out an ottoman, and opened it.

I pulled out a book, and a small sneaker box. I opened the box, and picked up one of the shoes out of the box. The bottom of the shoe said Zaya-Marie Johnson on it. That was my mom's name. I had my grandfather's last name. I stared at the signature on the shoe. I grabbed the book and flipped to the page that had a picture glued to it. It was the picture of the day my mom signed the shoe. Those were my first pair of shoes. I loved them shoes. I felt a tear roll down my cheek. I kissed the picture and then put everything away.

I searched through my closet, looking for a suit to wear, for Ricardo's funeral tomorrow. I picked out a black suit, with a light blue shirt, and a navy blue tie. I matched it with some black sneakers. I didn't have any dress shoes.

Later that night.......

"Z?!!!" Xavier called out waking me from my nap. I popped up quickly. "Z!!!!" he bust into my room. I just looked at him. "Come on, get dress." I stood up and stretched.

"Where we going?" I said yawning.

"Don't worry 'bout it, just hurry up, so we can go"

I got dress and wondered where we were going. I mean where would we be going on my mom's birthday in the middle of the week. I checked the time on my phone, it was 7:15. Then I realized I had a bunch of missed calls, and unread messages.
Xavier called me like 5 times. Vince texted me. Ray texted and called me.

I texted Vince back first.

Vince- Do you know what's wrong with Ray, he seems kinda down?

Me- There were a few incidents that happened before he left that probably got to him.

Then I texted Ray back.

Ray- Hey...How's Aliyah doing? Is she okay? Is she still in the hospital?

Me- Aliyah actually died.

Ray- :(

Me- yeah I know

Ray- sorry to hear that

Me- mmmhmm

Ray- I'll text you tomorrow....and sorry I won't be able to make it to Ricardo's funeral.

"Come on Z!!!" X yelled from his room. I walked out my room and grabbed a water out the fridge. Xavier grabbed his keys off the counter and headed towards the door.

I didn't really pay attention as to where we were going. It was a silent ride. I put my earphones in and listened to music.

X stopped the car, I looked up from my phone. We were at a restaurant. I got out the car and waited for Xavier. We walked into the restaurant, it was crowded, but they seated us immediately. Red Lobster is my favorite restaurant. I wonder why he bought me here tonight.

"Can I start you guys off with some appetizers?" the waitress asked.

"Umm...actually can we just skip the appetizers, we have somewhere else to go tonight." X said.

The waitress took our orders and left.

"Where we going after this?" I asked.

"We going to go and visit somebody". he said.

"Okay?"

He just smiled at me.......
