I decided to stay home the next day. I wasn't going to deal with the real world today. It's Wednesday,I rather watch hump day commercials that'll put me out of my misery.
I get up and do the usual. I open my laptop and turn on my webcam. "Good morning" I say speaking into my webcam and trying to make myself comfortable on my bed. "Or let me paraphrase. Bad morning" I say rolling my eyes. "Why didn't anyone tell me coming out would be this hard!" I say rubbing my hands across on face. "The truth is out,most likely to the whole state. It's been all over Instagram. Every time I see the video,I report it. It gets deleted...but then someone else posts it. Curse iPhone screen record" I say.
"I'm treating myself today. I'll get up out of my bed,get some breakfast from chik-fil-a. Or should I just make breakfast"I ask myself as I become indecisive. "Okay, I'll cook my own breakfast and buy sweet tea at chik-fil-a. Yes. I'll do that" I confirm.
I go downstairs only to see my mom in the kitchen. "Hi mom" I say opening the fridge as she she keeps her mouth shut. "Seriously? The silent treatment...still?"I ask my mom which just led back to me speaking to myself again. "Mom. Just accept me what the hell. It's been more than two days since you've been ignoring me and it's starting to become a little exhausting" I admit before taking a gulp of orange juice from the carton. I close the lid on the carton and put the orange juice back in the fridge. "Whatever. I'm over it" I say marching out of the kitchen. "Wait" my mom let's out. "Sit down" she demands.
"I've been ignoring you because I've been disappointed"she admits taking a seat next to me. "I'm disappointed that you didn't tell us this whole time. What made you think that you couldn't share something like that with us? We're family!" my mom emphasizes. "I've seen how these things play out in different people's lives. I didn't want the same thing happening with me" I say. "Ethan. You're uncle Bennett was gay,we still accepted him,matter of fact, we loved him" my mom says. "You're still our Ethan,you're still our son" she admits before giving me a hug. "Well,I have to go. I'm late for work" she says before getting all her things together.
I make my way out of the house and go to to the mall,skipping the breakfast that I told myself I'd make.It's time for some new clothes,it's time for a change.
I plug my headphones in and blast my music. This is just what I needed,time to myself. Time to take a break from the world.The mad world matter of fact.
I go into target and make my way into the women's section. My eyes widen when I see Robby's face after I turn a corner.
