today was the day the boy was going to do it.
he looked in the mirror, shaking.
"practice." he said to himself
"mom, dad, i'm gay." he said to himself in the mirror
josh sat on his bed and imagined all the things they could reply with, like "that's great!" or "we accept and love you no matter what." and then there were the more scary things like, "i never want to hear that come out of your mouth again." or "no you are not, not in this house."

he made his was down the creaky old steps.

"mom, dad, can i talk to you?" he asked

"yes, josh." his mother responded

the two middle-aged man and women followed their son into the dining room to sit down.

he blurted the words out, "mom, dad, i'm gay." he said, voice shaking.

out of nowhere, his mother began crying. his father stood up, very angry.

"No you are not. not under my roof. i never want to see you doing ANYTHING romantic with a boy ever." the harsh words came crashing into josh's ears. "do you understand me?"

josh began to cry a bit. "yes, dad, i understand." he managed to get out as he ran up to his bedroom.
