Richie's POV-

    I walk into my house and it's totally silent,the only thing I can smell is cigarette smoke. I turn my head and see my mother. She has three finished cigarettes on a napkin beside her.

    "How's Beverly?" She asks taking a sip of her water.

    "She's good." I say. We then just look at each other. I start to walk up the stairs when she begins to talk again.

    "Be great full for her, she's the only friend you got left." She says. I look at her.

    "No." I say quietly.

    "Who else is there? Stan? Bill? They haven't talked to you in months!" She says. I know she's just saying this stuff to tease me but they're true. Stan and Bill don't talk to me anymore,I still consider them as friends but I'm nothing to them.

    "You have one friend and no one else!" She yells.

   "No! I have more then one friend mom!" I snap back.

    She looks sat me and rises her eye brows.

    "Who?" She asks crossing her arms.

    "His names Eddie. He's new." I say. She probably won't believe me but I don't really care.

    "Is that Who you've been sneaking out with. I bet you were just with him now. Weren't you?" She asks.

    "I snuck out once! Why do you even care?!" I yell.

    "I care because you've done terrible things to yourself and I don't want it to happen again!" She says.

    "If anything Eddie's a good influence on me!" I say.

    "I really hope he is." She says and I just shack my head and walk up the stairs.

    I then realize I can't tell her nor my dad about my sexually. Why would I even think that! My parents are homophobic.

    I lay on my stomach on my bed and just look up at the ceiling.

    I just met Eddie and yet I'm obsessed with him! Ever since I laid my eyes on him I can't stop thinking about Eddie.

My parents won't except me as bi and definitely won't except me liking a boy!

I will just hide in my shell like mind and be alone... just like always.

(Time skip to Monday)

On my way to school I pass by Eddies house and see him walking down his driveway. He spots me and waves. I don't know why but my heart flutters, I just love his smile. God,I'm obsessed.

"Hey,Rich. What's up?" He says walking up to me.

"Nothing." I say in response.

"So,have you thought of telling your parents?" He asks and my stomach flips. I don't want to tell Eddie that my parents are homophobic. What if he doesn't want to hangout with me because my parents are homophobic and will never except Eddie! And will probably ruin any chance I have with Eddie, not like I even have a chance.

"Well." I start. "I think I'm gonna wait." I smile down at him.

"Have you came out to your parents?" I ask trying to get all the attention off of me.

"Yeah,well I don't have a dad." He says.

"Oh,I'm sorry..." I say. He looks up at me and smiles.

"It's fine Rich. But yes,my mom knows." He says.

"And I think most of the school knows too."
