"I lied to my best friend" I tell myself as I sit on the chair at my desk top and speak into my webcam. "Why is this sexuality thing so hard. should it be this hard? It shouldn't be this hard" I tell myself.

"What's hard?" I hear Ian's voice as he walks into my room.

"Uh - my homework"I quickly cover up. "Sucks to be you" Ian states as he jumps onto my bed making himself comfortable. "What are you doing?" I ask in annoyance. "Chilling"he says as he crosses his arms and places them behind his head. "Ian... get out" I command as I get up from my chair and force him off my bed as he fights back. "Iaaaan!" I yell extending the 'a' in his name and dragging him out of my room.I shut the door behind him and take a seat back at my desktop.

"Wow,I definitely got that on camera didn't I?" I ask myself in embarrassment. "I'll do it tonight."I encourage myself . "I,Ethan Grey am coming out to my parents ,tonight"I repeat.

Dinner time came around and I help my mom set the table. "Can you place the salad in the middle"my mom asks bothered by the position of the bowl. I let out a sigh of frustration and do as she asked.

"So how was school today?"My dad asked Ian as he stabs into his well done steak. "Wait-before we get into that I'd like to speak" I say politely as my mom looks at me with a smile. "Well..." my dad says looking at my mom and Ian's face expression. "What is it?"he piggy backs.

"I've been meaning to tell you guys this,but I've been scared and nervous and just all of the above. But you're my family so I don't think this should change anything" I say trying to soften their hearts. "No Ethan,you got a girl pregnant? Ethan!"my mom yells. "Mom...no"I correct her.

"Just know that I wanted to tell you guys this but,I just,I could never get it out and I hope you guys will accept me the way I am"I add still trying to make their hearts soft.

There it was. The words were stuck in my throat,they wouldn't come out. I couldn't speak,I thought I could do it but my throat begs to differ.

I pick up my glass cup filled with water and take a gulp. I close my eyes and take a deep breathe. "Mom,dad . I'm gay" I inform.
