Curing the Broken

confronting corbyn

Caroline waited for what seems like hours for Corbyn and Daniel to get to Christina's house. She sighed craving answers to all the questions she had. As soon as she got a paper and pen, the door bell rang. Caroline quickly got up, rushing to the door, opening it to reveal a faux blonde and a blued eyed brunette. She opened the door more and let the pair walk in. Caroline sighs softly and follows them into the living room. The faux blonde sat on a rocking chair as Daniel and Caroline sat on the love seat couch. The three silent, not knowing what to say. Caroline sighs.

"Why'd you do it, Corbyn?" Caroline asks.

"What?" Corbyn questions.

"Why'd you break up with Christina?" Caroline asks.

Corbyn looks over at Daniel. She looks over at them confused.

"I-I'm gay, C. I-I have been for awhile now a-and I didn't want to hurt Christina. I-I just thought that I loved her but I didn't. I'm sorry," Corbyn says on the verge of tears.

Caroline stands up, walking over to Corbyn and hugging him.

"Oh, Corbs. Why haven't you told me?" Caroline questions.

The pair pulled away from each other, as Corbyn wipes his tears and sniffles.

"I-I thought you were going to h-hate me," the boy tells Caroline, truthfully.

"I could never. Does Christina know?" Caroline asks.

Corbyn shakes his head, indicating that he hasn't told the green eyed girl anything.

"I think you should tell her that you broke up with her because of your sexuality. She thinks that she did something wrong," Caroline informs the faux blonde.

"Do you really think so?" Corbyn asks.

Caroline nods, giving him a small smile, which the blonde returned.

"Will you be there when I tell her?" The faux blonde asks.

"If you want me to be then yes," Caroline says.

Corbyn quickly nods, causing Caroline and Daniel to chuckle. Corbyn giggling with them.

The three just finished up a movie marathon as they waited for Christopher and Christina to get home. Caroline was in between both Daniel and Corbyn, with her head on Daniel's lap and her feet on Corbyn's lap. Caroline yawns, causing the two others to yawn too.
"I think you guys should go home," Caroline says.

"No. I wanna wait til Chris and Christina get here. I need to tell Christina," Corbyn says softly.

Caroline sighs, nodding and looking at Daniel. Daniel sighs and shrugs.

Soon, the door opened to a giggly Christopher and Christina. Corbyn jolted up from the couch at the sound of the giggles. The pair walks into the living room.

"Christina," Corbyn whispered causing Christina to stop in her tracks.

"What are you doing here? Leave," Christina says to the boy she once loved.

"Christina, hun. Let him explain why he did what he did. He thinks it's important for you to know," Caroline says, defending her faux blonde friend.

Christina sighs and sits down, causing everyone else in the room to follow her actions.

"Christina, I-I'm g-gay," Corbyn stutters, "I've been for a while and you know how my family is on gays. So I thought if I dated you that I wouldn't actually be gay. But it didn't work. I'm sorry. I-I hope we stay best friends."

Corbyn looked up at the green eyed girl and saw a smile on her face. She was happy that he had told her and hugged him.

"Of course we can be friends. I support you a hundred percent. I'll never stop loving you because of who you are," Christina says, pulling away from the hug with the blonde.

He smiles. He finally came out and never felt better.
