Mom, Dad, I'm Queer

Run Away

POV: Michael

I texted Anthony saying I'm doing it. no I'm not killing myself. I'm running away. I'm tired of my family. I'm so sick of their bullshit and religious beliefs. it pisses me off so much.

"Babe, I'm running away. my family found out without me saying anything. they told me they saw us together. my mother is coming home in 4 hours. I love you so much. she knows we bought a house too since she watched us go into it. I'll be in California babe. join me if you want but be safe. please, please be safe. tell our friend family what happened. I'm so scared. I'll keep a picture of us on me. California has weed and San Francisco got a pride parade I'm going to. my brother lives there so he's on his way. he will be here in a hour. I'll be safe. I'll meet my brothers partner, Garrett. he seems nice. I love you so fucking much. I'll text you when I'm there. if you want, run away and join me but be safe from the crazy people."

"I'm packing right now, can he take me with?" I hope he can.

I texted my brother asking if I can take Anthony and he said yeah.

"he said yes, meet here in hour babe."

my brother arrived and took us to California. I met Garrett and introduced Anthony. we got along with him. it was so nice meeting Garrett.

I got a text and looked. it was my mom. "where did your faggot ass go? get home now!" oh fuck she is pissed. I showed my brother and he blocked our parents numbers for me. "can I get a new phone with a number?  it'll be easier so they can't track me." I said.

I got a new phone the next day since I didn't want my parents to find me. I switched my contacts to my phone. I still kept the pics since they make me happy because they're mostly Anthony and Anthony and I. we all talked until the night ended and we went to bed at 2 am.
