Mom, Dad, I'm Queer

Hello Internet

POV: Anthony

"Hello Internet, its Anthony" I started, it was the day after Michael and I had our date.
"Let me tell you a story about coming out." that's when I came out publicly. I had only 2k subs. I told them the story on my sexuality, my date and how its okay to be lgbt+. I didn't mention my parents cause, who are they again? oh, that's right, dipshit deadbeat dad and dipshit deadbeat mom.

whenever they come back, they barely talk to me. how many siblings do I have? 2? 3? none? they go from here to Michigan. they're at Michigan 5 days a week and go to me only Saturday and Sunday.

"Let's talk about shitty asshole parents. my parents walked out on me during my childhood. they visit me Saturdays and Sundays and sometimes never. I had to get help to pay for bills and the house. Jess comes by to stay with me. she's like the mom i never once had. if you're a parent watching this, notice you're fucking children and don't ignore them. have fun with them." I went on a rant for 25 minutes on shitty parents.

all i know is that my dad is 50 and my mom is 40. I wish they'd do shit for once and not ignore they're children. I know they drink since there's still alcohol here. I decided to text Jess.

"Jess, can you please reply I need you badly." I said.

J: what's up?
A: I'm thinking of taking all the alcohol and downing it for alcohol poisoning
J: DON'T KILL YOURSELF, IM ON MY WAY

that was the last text before she came over. she saw me shaking.

POV: Jess

I ran in his house and found him shaking. fuck. I held him like a mother would and he cried. I had to say something.

"Anthony, did you cut yourself? I won't be mad." I asked. if he cut, I'd have to explain to Michael why Anthony did it.

he nodded yes. great, now I have to explain to Michael. this will not be fun. I wrapped his arm and stayed with him. he noticed the bruise on my arm.

"What the fuck happened?" great, now I have to explain how my life isn't great even though i said it was.

"Bumped it." I said and he must've known I was lying.

"Bullshit, tell me the truth or else". okay now he's gonna threaten to cut himself if I don't tell.

"It's my dad," I stated, "he abuses me. He did ever since I came out as lesbian. I told him I had a boyfriend, that's when me and Michael said we're dating to hide the fact we're both gay. He found me and my girlfriend kissing and yelled at me when I was home. You're not the only one with shit parents. My mom left when I was 6 and my dad abuses me, I never see my mom anymore, Michael's parents are religiously homophobic, that's why he's not out at school even though he likes you a lot."

we stayed close and went to sleep at 2 am. we had school the next day. we made it to school on time somehow. we then ran into Hanna. I went to class so he could talk to Hanna.
