Jamie's POV
"I'm gay..." I say glueing my eyes to the floor in front of my parents sitting on the couch. I have my shoes on so I can run if they get out of hand. There was a moment of silence which felt like years compared to mere seconds. My mom continued to sit in silence. My dad rose to his feet, walked over to me, "No, Dad! Please!" He acted as though he heard nothing, picked me up by the collar of my shirt (he is REALLY strong), carried me to the door, opened it, and literally threw me down on the ground. I sat outside crying as though I was filling an ocean. I heard the door handle turn and regained hope only for it to be crushed by the weight of my stuff being thrown at me. "Just leave, leave..." said my dad zombified as he slammed the door. I pulled out my phone and texted the one person who would take me in, my boyfriend. I texted
Hey, babe. Could you come by my place and pick me up. My parents kicked me out.
The reply came almost instantly. Of course. I'm so sorry that happened. I'll be right over.

It took about five minutes for him to show up, but at least he did. He got out and hugged me and helped my collect my things. We sat in the back seat of the car. For a couple minutes we just sat in silence. He spoke up "What happened?" I sighed, "Well, I told my parents that I was gay, and my dad just got up, picked me up, and literally threw me out." How I managed to get that much out between the sobs was a mystery. He looked at me pityingly, "I'm so sorry. Just know, I'm here for you babe." I looked at him intently and hugged him, probably getting a puddle of tears on his shirt, but he didn't care about tears, he cared about me. "I love you more than words can describe, Jamie" "Trevor," I sobbed. "Your the best thing that could ever happen to me." I pulled away from the hug.
"Where am I supposed to go?" "You know you can stay with me." He replied. We dispersed and got into the front seats. He drove me out of my driveway. "Are you hungry?"
"No, but I could use a coffee."
"Coffee it is then." He replied.

How was that? Pretty deep huh? I hope you enjoyed this and bet your booty I'll be doing more parts of this. Sorry for the crippling depression in book form. But that's all I can think of right now because I'm about to come out to my homophobic parents... wish me luck
