Jello is what you can say my stomach feels like, bouncing around at the thought of how my parents would react. Here I am coming out at the age of 17, have I waited too long? Did I not wait long enough? Nope, nope, nope. I promised myself that no matter what I will not let my parents get to me.
It's 4:30 and it's been 15 minutes since I told them, my parents I mean. It's been 15 minutes since they told me to go to my room. Suddenly I hear my moms heels on our oak floor, it was like the church bell in a small ghost-quiet town. With every step she took my heart trembled.
What is going to happen?
She stops, I glance towards my door. The gleaming gold knob turned and the door creaked open.
"Jack, honey?" Her voice was trembling and her pink glossy lips were twitching slightly downward. No, this isn't good.
"Yeah mom," I was quiet, I already knew what was happening. I was in trouble, probably grounded. I hate getting grounded, but sometimes you have to deal with it.
"I'm sorry," her voice was breaking, I know where this is heading. The flood gates have a crack letting my eyes gloss, a warm tear decided to take a stroll down my cheek.
"No," my voice was soft, I don't want this to happen.
"Jack," her dull green eyes were now filled with tears, she doesn't want to do this. I can tell.
"Jack, your father and I have decided that you can't stay here anymore. You can't even come back, hi- I mean we don't want to be associated with you," her sobs were in her eyes, but her voice was fragile and soft.
I stand up without a fight and walk out, they don't want me, they don't get a goodbye. I love them but they want me gone. So I will leave.
