EIGHTEEN: FOSTER FAMILY DISASTER, PT. 1

DERRICK

All last night I tossed and turned worrying about what Mom and Dad are gonna say when I drop the big bomb on them. They're gonna think I didn't trust them enough to confide in them.

I haven't left my room all day. This is gonna be one Sunday I'll never forget.

Mom and Dad went to church. Tori's downstairs watching TV. I texted Troy and Kel and told them to get over here ASAP.

The doorbell rings.

I ran downstairs.

I looked through the peephole.

It's Troy and Kel.

I opened the door.

TROY: SUP BRO.

DERRICK: SUP FOOL.

KELDRIC: WHAT'S SO URGENT?

DERRICK: LET'S TAKE THIS UPSTAIRS.

We all walked up to my room.

I locked my door.

DERRICK: HAVE A SEAT GUYS.

Troy sat on the edge of my bed and Kel sat in my beanbag.

I walked my room pacing back and forth.

KELDRIC: DERRICK WHAT'S WRONG? DON'T TELL ME IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH YOU AND MILES. DID YOU BREAK IT OFF WITH HIM?

DERRICK: MICAH SAW ME AND MILES KISSING LAST NIGHT. WE TOOK TORI AND MILAN TO THE AMUSEMENT PARK FOR THEIR FIRST DATE. WHILE THEY WENT TO RIDE A FEW RIDES, ME AND MILES ATE BURGERS. I KISSED MILES AND HE DIDN'T STOP ME, WHICH WAS SURPRISING. THEN I KISSED HIM AGAIN AND MICAH SAW US. WE GOT INTO A ARGUMENT, WHICH RESULTED IN ME PUNCHING HIM. NOW HE'S GONNA OUT ME TO THE WHOLE SCHOOL TOMORROW. I'VE DECIDED TO JUST GO AHEAD AND TELL MOM AND DAD TODAY AT DINNER. MICAH'S ASS IS MINES TOMORROW AND NOTHING IS GONNA STOP ME FROM KICKING HIS ASS. DON'T NOBODY TRY TO STOP ME.

TROY: MICAH IS THE BIGGEST THORN IN OUR SIDE. HE HAS TO BE ELIMINATED.

DERRICK: HOLD OFF ON THE KILLING TROY. WE'RE NOT AT THAT POINT YET.

KELDRIC: HOW DOES MILES FEEL ABOUT YOU COMING OUT TO UNCLE BRIAN AND AUNT BRENDA?

DERRICK: HE DOESN'T KNOW I'M DOING THIS YET. I'M GONNA SEE HOW THEY REACT BEFORE I TELL HIM.

TROY: FROM WHAT I KNOW THEY'RE NOT HOMOPHOBIC OR ANYTHING. THIS MAY TURN OUT TO BE A GOOD THING. NOW YOU AND MILES DON'T HAVE TO HIDE ANYMORE.

DERRICK: THAT'S TRUE. WHEN I SAY I NERVOUS, I'M NERVOUS AS HELL.

KELDRIC: THERE'S NO NEED TO BE. IF IT GETS OUT OF HAND, YOU KNOW WE AND GRANDMA GOT YA BACK.

DERRICK: THANKS GUYS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'D DO WITHOUT YOU TWO. ALWAYS HAVING MY BACK.

TROY: WE YOUR FAMILY DERRICK. WE ALWAYS GOT YA BACK NO MATTER WHAT.
