Ours- Colby Brock

Chapter 17

17.

I could't stop staring at the snow that has piled outside.

I should stop procrastinating and do my homework.

But I couldn't get my mind off of Sam.

Colby and I without thinking accepted his sexuality right away but the real problem is his family.

We were the first people he has come out to and he still hasn't told his parents. He's planing to tell them on Christmas.

I'm pretty sure his brother and sister will be alright with it but his mother and father...

Not so much.

He's scared that when he tells them they will stop loving him.

I don't think they'll stop loving him but maybe they'll need some time to think about it and accept it.

This is the main reason why...he wanted to end his life.

He thought that no one will accept him and at first he didn't even want to come out. He didn't want to believe that this was him. He was just confused.

But I don't blame him for that. But its harder to pretend to be someone you're not only so people can accept you.

This is the person that he is and we love him for who he is. The fact that he is gay does not change anything about our friendship.

I don't really understand homophobic people but everybody has a different opinion and we have to respect it.

But I've always secretly wanted to have a gay best friend so...

I should really stop procrastinating.

I was about to start doing my homework when my phone lit up.

Screw homework.

Colby: CHRISTMAS IS ALMOST HERE!!!

I smiled at the message.

I was not really thinking about Christmas but Colby is just to excited and always talking about it.

Me: I KNOW!

Colby: LETS GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY IN THE SNOW!

Me: I need to do homework.

Colby: FUCK THAT. IM WAITING FOR YOU OUTSIDE YOUR HOUSE AFTER 5 MINS

Me: Why outside my house?

I did not get a reply so I just started getting ready.

When I was done I headed downstairs and typical me decided to trip on the last step.

''Be careful.''

Said my dad.

''I will. Can I go out?''

I asked.

He looked at me and I thought he was going to ask me with who but..

''Okay. Go''

''Thank you. Bye.''

He's acting a bit strange. Usually he would ask me with who or when I'm coming home or those types of questions but he just let me go.

I don't know what's gone into him but he and mom are another reason why I'm not so excited for Christmas.

They haven't stopped fighting. They fight every evening.

I usually put my headphones in when they start but from what I have heard mostly they fight about money. Or me. Or both.

But they never talk anymore. They only fight.

I miss the days where we had family nights and had so much fun but now...that doesn't happen.

Growing up sucks.

I closed the door behind me and saw Colby kicking the snow on the sidewalk.

''Hey.''

I said.

He looked at me and smiled.

''Hi Sydney.''

I walked over to him.

''Have you talked to Sam?''

I asked.

''I have. I actually call him every night. He's doing alright.''

He answered.

Aw thats so sweet.

''I walked by a kids playground when I was coming here and so much flicking snow has piled on the slides and swings. Nobody was there so let's go!''

He said.

''Gosh you're such a freaking child.''

I responded.

''How dare you use Gosh's name in vein!''

We laughed.

''But I'm serious! You're way to excited for the holiday season.''

I said.

''Yes I am! Is that a bad thing?''

''No, I never said it was a bad thing.''

''So what's the big deal?''

''Nothing it's j-

I was cut off by a snowball being thrown at my face.

''You didn't.''

I said.

''Yes I did.''

He said back.

''IT'S ON!''

Let's just say we had a lot of fun that day. We had snowball fights, made snow angels, pushed each other in the snow...Basically we were being little kids.

But what matters is that we had a lot of fun.

Maybe December won't be that bad..

But I still haven't done my homework...
