"Hey guys..." my mom says

Everyone was quiet. I had basically just outed myself with Ruth, Jai, Ryan, All of their parents, Fifth Harmony, our manager, and my parents all present, yay.

I had turned my head to face them and instantly I knew I had fucked up again.

"Great" I laugh as I walk into my dressing room

"Y/n wait-" Lauren says walking over to me

"Don't" I say before closing my dressing room door

•••

"Hey... y/n" I hear as someone knocks on my door

"What." I say

"Honey it's just, it's just me" my mom says as she opens the door

"Mom I really don't want to-"

"No I just... I just wanted to make sure you were alright." She says. "Clearly you guys are having some kind of fight"

"Some kind of fight" I laugh. "Mom you don't have to sugar code anything... the secrets out" I say

"Sugar code What?" She asks

"Me and Lauren?... ugh" I take a deep breath. "I'm bisexual mom" I say.

"Your bisexual" She says

"I'm bisexual" I say

"So bisexual as in-" She says

"As in not straight. Bisexual as in I like boys and girls" I say

"Oh" She says

"Yeah" I say

"So... this thing with Lauren-" she starts

"No. I really don't wanna talk about it mom" I say

"Honey" She says

"No." I say creating an awkward silence

"Babe I just wanna understand you. Talk to me" She says

"Fine... I'm a bisexual female and I know your religion doesn't really allow you to accept people like me but-"

"What?" She says

"Your religion..."

"Honey, my religion tells me to love everyone regardless of who they are"

"I know but you and dad-" I say

"Babe were not some closed minded hypocrites" she says making me laugh

I had always pictured my parents as these super religious evangelicals with a devoted faith to the distorted biblical agenda, I guess I was wrong.

"What I'm trying to say is, we can follow Gods word without having hatred or feeling high enough to implement judgement on those around us. I love you... every piece of you. And I have no place or purpose judging you for being you." She says
