Welcome To My World

XXXIV-Out by text

I looked at the time on my phone. The time marked 21:43 (9:43 p.m.).
That number. For months, whenever I turned my phone on at night, that was the time. I assumed that it was just a coincidence, but after two months, I started thinking that maybe, at the exact same time, something would happen. Something important. And now it did.
I had wanted to do this for a while now, but I didn't know how.
The only person I came out to by telling them something that resembled to saying "I'm pansexual" was to Mary.
And I told her "I think that I like Charles."
And there was someone that I've been wanting to come out to since we talked again. I wouldn't be the first one to come out to Margaret, though. Alfred had already done it. And from what I knew, they hadn't really talked much since that happened.
What if that was the reason they didn't talk anymore? I really didn't know, and I wanted to see her reaction when I told her.
I wrote a text coming out to her, at least It wasn't a letter.
And the time marked 21:43 when I sent it.

D-I have something to tell you.
M-Yeah, what is it?
I could still lie, I could say it was nothing. I could still make up something.
But I didn't want to. I wanted to tell her everything.
D-Do you remember when we started drifting apart and I started hanging out with Jack?
There was a reason for that. I fell for someone and Jack helped me with that. He was a boy. Homophobic.
If it isn't obvious by now, it was Charles.
P.S.: I'm not gay, I'm pansexual. If you want to I'll tell you what it means.

When I sent the text I would be spending an hour without internet, but not before I read the texts Margaret sent me. She kept saying "Daniel, this isn't happening." over and over again.
I had time to send her one last text.

D-Well, it looks like it is.

When I was back, I had lots of unread texts. Brian was helping me coming out to her, and it looks like he helped her to cope with all this information she just had gotten.
She tried to call me, and she left a voicemail.
Margaret first said that she thought that we were a little bit too young to know who and what we liked. But then she started saying that it was great that I could love everyone and that she would help me if I needed anything from her.
This might not sound that great, but to me it meant that one more person really cared about me and accepted me for who I was.
And then she texted me and Brian in our group chat.

M-So, after what Daniel told me, I think that I should also tell you something about me that I haven't told anyone.
M-I'm bisexual.

I wasn't expecting that. The Margaret that I have known for four years is bisexual? I didn't really buy that, but if it was the truth, she would have someone supporting her.

Daniel came out to someone! I had this idea weeks ago, but I didn't know how he would do it.
