Waiting for a response,my mom looks down at her food and begins to pick at it. My dad rests his elbow on the dinner table and brushes his fingers through his hair. As for Ian, Ian began to ask questions,to many of them. Ian asked questions like "How does it feel?" "Why didn't you tell us?" "Does that mean you like only boys or both girls and boys?" "Boys can't have babies together can they?". The questions were ridiculous in my opinion.

"Mom,dad"I say looking at both of them. I can see the disappointment in their face. "Say something,anything"I say nervously. "Excuse me" my dad says dismissing himself from the table. "I- I'll clean up"my mom says as she stands up and collects empty plates. "Here let me help" I say reaching over and spilling my water. "No,I got it just-I-I got it" my mom stutters.

I sit back down slowly and wipe what I've spilled. So many questions roam in my head. I knew it,I knew this would make them think differently of me. I knew my parents wouldn't accept me. I really screwed myself over with this one.

I dismiss myself from the table and scurry into my room slamming my door and throwing myself on my bed lying on my face. I yell into my pillow and begin to cry.

I get up from my bed and walk over to my chair and open my laptop ,turning my webcam on.

"So I did it"I update. "I came out to my parents...family. Ian was around"I say wiping my tears with the sleeve of my olive green hoodie. "It's like. - They looked at me like I was someone else,like they didn't recognize me. It hurt"I admit. "I've been keeping this in my whole life and when I finally get the guts to let it out I get filthy looks for it. They're disappointed" I assume crying some more.

"E" I hear my dad call out gently as he opens my door after peeking through. I turn my webcam off and look back at him. "Yes?" I ask desperately
