I knew i had been a lesbian since i was 13. I just never had the guts to tell my dad. But today was the day i was tierd of beeing in the closet and today  i would tell him. Mabe i should of hinted a bit more and asked his opinion on gays as what followed was probaly the worst thing that could of happened. Shit whent south verry fast.

I began to walk down stairs feeling a bit nevous but i reashured myself he loved me. I walked into the kitchen.

Yes darling?

Theres something i need to tell you.

Ok well you can tell me anything.

Well im....im g-gay.

What

Get out of my house i never whant to see you again.

I hung my head low as i left. I couldnt beleve how bad that whent i walked out the door as it slamed behind me and was locked. I cryed as i walked down the street. I knew of an ally that was usealy worm as it had a bakary on both sides they also throw out unsold pastys so it was my best shot at survival so i began to head for it.

As exspected when i got there the man was bringing out all the old pastrys. I asked if i could eat them as i was now homeless and he said he would bring out pastrys every evaning and place them in a bag by the bin for me to eat. He told me he spent a fue years on the streets and wouldnt wish it on anyone. He handed me the pastrys and walked away back ito the wormth.

I sat on the floor. I had reached a new low. I began to cry when i heard some people talking. It sounded like they where heading my way.I was sceared so  i hid behind the bin. A group of 5 people walked down the ally and sat down. I let out a small squeek as a big man leand against the dumpster i was behind. They all jumped slightly as i covered my mouth. Tears began to stream down my face. They new i was there. What where they going to do to me. Where they going to hurt me where they going to kill me. I began to cry more and more as the man pulled the dumpster out the way showing where i was hiding.

He saw the tears that began to become watterfulls in my eyes. They all looked verry woried as i began to shake. He said in a very calm voice
"Whats wrong honey. Dont be sceard i whont hurt you." He whent to grab my arm when i screamed. He jumped but grabed my arm swiftly and pulled me onto my feet and into a hug. I began to cry louder as i buried my face in his chest." Shhhhhh shhhh its okay let it all out."arfter what felt like hours i finaly stoped crying as he sat me down with the rest of them." First day on the streets?" asked a girl with light brown hair and very dark brown eyes, from a distance they almost looked black. I nodded slowly.
They all sighed as she said "wellcome to the club sister."
