Julia Has known her sexuality her whole life. she's always liked girls, no question. she's never dated though, because of her mother's disapproval for anything but straights. her best friend Duke have a "relationship" to hide the fact that she's a l...
Uh oh. I hesitantly answer her, and hold the phone up to my face.
"Hello?" "Hey sexy" I get a look of disgust on my face "can you not call me that..?" She chuckles even though she knows it's not funny. "Did Duke talk to you?" "No, why?" "Well he seems to think that I was trying to steal you for my fucking self" She gasped "what do you mean?" "Duke wanted me to talk to you about going out with him but you decided to kiss me instead and he saw the whole thing through the window." "I'll talk to him" She hung up.
I text rose for a little while longer until I decide to walk out to a cafe nearby, called Antlers. It was my favorite place to go to when I was stressed because it was quaint and small, and it was a family run business so I knew all the workers. They actually called me a while ago and offered me a job interview, and that's what I was doing today. They basically said I can have the job, since I go there so much anyways.
I walk in and say hey to the managers, a lovely old couple. They gave me a uniform, witch was a cute little brown apron. I started waiting tables, and in the back was Emily, Tapping awake on her phone. There were a couple of boys in the front tables, and that's about all. I served the boys first, bringing them some coffee and a few pastries. I went to Emily next.
"He won't fucking respond this is frustrating" she said looking down at her phone. "Yeah..he does that" I say. "Can I take your order?" "Black coffee"
I nod and give her her coffee. After about three hours, the managers said I could go home since the coffee house wasn't too busy anyways. I walked home and nothing really happened. I decided to go to the old treehouse just for something to do.
I climb up the little ladder and squish myself into the tiny treehouse. I gaze out the window and pull my knees up to my chest. I think for a while. Think about life, about Duke, about Emily. Rose didn't really cross my mind much but I thought about what she looked like. I hit my head against the wall a few times, not knowing what to do. I pull up my sleeves and look at my old scars. I havent self harmed in about a year, I started when I found out that my mother didnt accept the LGBT community. I couldn't change myself for my mother and I knew that she wouldn't change for her own daughter either. I never stopped cutting until a year ago because my mother finally told me why my father left. He thought I was too hard to handle.
I considered cutting, I'll admit it. But I didn't. I promised Duke I wouldn't anymore two years ago.
I sit there for a while, just contemplating. Thinking. Suddenly I hear footsteps coming up the ladder.
I freeze. Was it Duke?
It was Mr Howard
"Hey." I said "Your mother told me you might be up here" "Yeah.." "So I have something to ask you" "Yes?" I look up at him "I know you and Duke aren't a couple. But that's all your mother will go on about. I wanna know why you'd fake a relationship to her"
I look at him and think about ways to get out of this "S-she kept bothering us about relationships and-" "Julia" he interrupted "Just be honest with me"
I gulp, knowing what he's gonna say. "Are you a lesbian?"
