(A/N: So I'm really sorry, but my memory's getting kinda fuzzy with all the little things, so if it's good with everyone here I'm just gonna start writing the major details? Also, several new things have happened since this and I'd like to get to it).
Dear mom,
Senior year passed, graduation passed. It was time for a bunch of graduation parties and one last summer together with my friends before we all headed off to college in the fall.
My party was one of the firsts, a few days after graduation. It was also my birthday party. I invited Tye...and my ex. I guess I had really hurt him when I broke up with him, so I was trying to smooth over things. (Hey ex, if you happen to be reading this, I'm really sorry for the way I ended things. I hope you're happy now).
As we're driving (late as usual) to my party, my best friend calls me.
"Hey, where are you? Dan* and Tye are already here." My pulse quickened at the mention of Tye. I was ridiculously nervous and excited to see them.
"O-oh." I laughed nervously. "Um I'll be there soon, I'm on my way."
We arrive there. My best friend is the first to greet me. Soon after is Tye. I remember grabbing them and holding on for a long time.

Unbeknownst to me, mom, as I'm realizing my gigantic crush on Tye and trying to flirt with them, Tye is flirting with one of my other friends.
Yeah. I know, right?
(I constantly tease Tye for that. It's a joke between us now).
Also not known to me, you and my aunt were watching me as I sat on Tye's lap and held their hand (in a straight way of course. Just kidding. It was a super gay thing). Scrutinizing me. Ready to scold me for it later.
I don't notice it. All I want to do is take Tye into the basement or bathroom and kiss them for hours until nothing else matters. And I keep thinking about it, hours later after my party, after me and my friends are on our way to the next graduation party. I was really distracted for the next several hours.
The next day I text my friend: "I think I like Tye."
Fuck.
Love,
Your son
