Taylor McDonnell spent her entire live believing she was straight.
One bus ride home with her best friend Audrey Kendra is sure to change all that.
A Lesbian Love Story
Warning: This is going to be cheesy. Also, a lot of cursing.
There's les...
A/N: Hi friends! Ally Hills is amazing! She's a beautiful person and maybe, possibly, just a little bit gay. She also made The Official Coming Out Song, which is one of the best fucking things ever. Anyway, she's great and you should subscribe to her YouTube channel. Onward to the actual chapter!
When we got back from the mall, Brendon ran and hid in his room, avoiding Mom. I felt really bad for him, now both of us have to hide. In our own home. I think my mom would actually kick us out if she knew.
Amelia told us on the way back that Mom's Aunt Jen's daughter, Jessica, is gay, and she was kicked out of the home when she came out. That's why no one talks about her, and why we never knew about her.
And, apparently, Dad's nephew, our cousin Tyler, is gay. Dad's side is much more accepting, but Mom won't let us interact him.
I decided then that I wanted more than just my brother and sister to know, I want my dad, and my friends to know. Maybe not Audrey quite yet, but at least Indiana and Dakota. But, I'll need help.
Me: hey
Lucie: Hey! What's up?
Me: i want to come out to my dad and friends. how did you do it?
Lucie: I flat-out told them, but if you don't want the direct approach, I'll tell you how Mikayla did it.
Me: pls?
Lucie: Sure. Go on YouTube and search Ally Hills coming out.
I did that and watched the first video that popped up. It was so fucking beautiful I watched it again.
Lucie: So?
Me: that is the most beautiful thing in the goddamn universe.
Lucie: I wholeheartedly agree.
Me: so i just sent this to them?
Lucie: Maybe just your friends. Your dad may say something to your mom.
Me: thanks Lucie! you're the best!
Lucie: You're welcome! <3
I sent the Coming Out song to Dakota and Indiana a few minutes after I wrote the short letter to Dad explaining everything.
Dear Dad,
Please don't show this to Mom. Please. I'm gay. As in, a lesbian. You're actually the first one to know that I have a crush on Audrey Kendra. Brendon, Amelia, you, and my friends Dakota and Indy are the only ones who know. Please don't tell Mom. We can talk about it later.

~Later the next day~
I was going for a bike ride because it was a nice day outside (here in Jersey it's bloody 92 degrees Fahrenheit. That's really fucking hot for a girl who owns one pair of shorts.) when I saw a moving van parked in front of the small house for sale down the side road in our development. I saw a small black car parked in the driveway along with quite a few labelled cardboard boxes.
For example:
'Plates FRAGILE'
'Max - BOOKS (Important)'
'Mom - Clothes'
'Wires'
'Sheets'
'Max - Random Crap'
I like this Max kid. I saw a lady walk out of the house towards the van, then she spotted me.
"Oh! Hi. Who are you? Do you live around here?" she asked. Her hair was tied back in a messy bun, and she wore a white tank top and black yoga pants with sneakers.
"Hi. I'm Taylor. I live down Clearview Ave, just down there," I pointed back towards my street.
"Hi there Taylor! I'm Chloe Pierce. I just moved in here with my kid, Max. We just moved from Seattle."
"Really? That's cool. I've always wanted to go out there. But alas, I'm stuck here in Ohio. Does it rain much there, or is that just a rumor?"
"Oh no, we get plenty of rain. We're not America's rainiest city, but there's a pretty significant amount of rain. Um, will you excuse my for a minute. Max, get your ass out here!"
I really like Chloe. She's cool. Behind her appears a kid, my age, about 2 or 3 inches shorter than her wearing a gray tank top I'd see in the guys section in Target as well as shorts also found in the guys section. No shoes and a pixie cut. I couldn't tell if they were a girl or a boy.
"Max, this is Taylor. She lives around here," Chloe said, gesturing towards me.
"Hi. I'm Max. Do you go to the high school?" they asked.
"Yeah, yeah I do. Will I be seeing you tomorrow?" I asked.
"Yeah, you will. First day at a new school, fun stuff."
"Max, I feel kind of weird asking this, but are you a girl or boy?" I ask sheepishly.
"Today? A boy. Tomorrow, maybe a boy, maybe a girl, maybe neither. Oh, the joys of being gender-fluid," he said, kicking a rock.
"I can't imagine. But I can imagine people getting really confused when you say stuff like 'I'm neither. But yesterday I was a guy. Tomorrow I think I may be a girl.' If I was gender-fluid that's how I would constantly mess with people," I said, trying to show I felt there was nothing wrong with being gender-fluid.
It worked.
He smiled and said, "Sometimes I do that. It's really funny. I think I may do that to every teacher tomorrow."
"I'll try to find you at lunch and in the halls. I'll see you tomorrow. See ya!" I said, waving.
"Ciao."
A/N: Well, that was fun! I want to show you this picture I found on the Internets:

Because Solangelo is fucking adorable.
So, I'm giving you all a quick life dump.
I came out to a lot of my family as gay Saturday and I refused not to be dramatic as fuck. On Thursday, I finally told my crush I liked her, and now we're dating! She and I are basically genderbent Solangelo.
I just started listening to a bunch of Twenty One Pilots, and I don't know why I haven't done this sooner.
