  I plan on coming out to my best friend, Jordan Johnson today. I know he will accept me for who I am.
  "Hey Jordan!"
  "Ella! Yo how are you?"
  "Not that good actually.. I asked you to come here because I need to tell you something.. It's serious and you're my best friend, I tell you everything.."
  "O-okay.. you can tell me anything. What is it?"
  "Well... Let me introduce myself.. Hi, I'm Elliot. I'm transgender, I was born female and my birth name is Ella. I'm telling you this because you're my best friend. I hope you still love and accept me for who I am. And that's all I have to say."
  "Oh.. Wow I- um.. I have to go. I'll see ya later.. B-bye..." Jordan starts to walk away. Tears well up in my eyes.
  " Jordan! JORDAN! Jor-" I fall to the ground, sobbing as it starts to rain. I can't believe he just walked off. I miss him so much... I wish I could just take back everything I said.
  You can tell me anything... Um I have to go... B-bye...
  Jordan's words played back in my head. My eyes were already red and puffy and my heart already hurts because I did enough crying before I walked home. I just sobbed in my head until I fell asleep.
