The Ultimate Choice

Chapter 8

Zach's POV:

"Okay I'll see you in a bit" I hang up the phone with Alex. I don't think I've ever been this nervous. I just hope his opinion about me doesn't change. My hands are getting more and more sweaty with every step I get to being closer to the park!

I get to the park 10 minutes later and sit down as I begin to think of how I'm going to trust him to not leave me. I really like him, but this revelation is keeping me from him.

I sigh and put my head in my hands and begin to sob.

"I hope this isn't as bad as I think it is, don't tell me you killed somebody?" Alex joked.

I look up and see him in all his glory, smiling down at me. My heart begins to flutter and I get butterflies in my stomach. Then I remember why we're both here.

"Sit down, this is gonna be a long story." I say.

He sits and looks at me with those beautiful eyes I love so much and I begin to tell him the most horrifying experience of my life.

"It all started last year, when I came out as gay to my ex-best friend.

*Flashback Starts*

"Ethan, I have something...I need to...tell you." I say.

"It must be bad, because I haven't seen you this way in a long time." Ethan says.

"I don't know how you'll react."

"C'mon spit it out already, we're supposed to be best friends, right?"

I look up into his eyes and say,

"I'm gay."

Immediately his eyes turn into a look of confusion, which quickly changed to anger.

"You're what?" He yells furiously.

"I, I, I'm gay." I stutter.

"How can you be gay, you know how I feel about gay people, I hate them."

Those words pierced into my heart like daggers as I begin to cry. I'm actually losing my best friend over something I have no control over.

"Its just the way I am, I've always been this way, I have no idea why I'm this way, if I could choose to be gay or not, I'd choose not to be. Its just in my nature. Please don't hate me."

"No, I have to go , I need to think about this, just stay away from me for the time being." He gets up and storms away.

"Ethan!" I yell.

He didn't turn around he just kept walking. I felt hopeless liked no one would support me. The person I thought would support me, walked away.

The next few days were agony. I had seen Ethan, but he never acknowledged that I was there. He turned his back on me, forever.

A few days had went by and I eventually decided to come out to my mother, who welcomed me with open as arms as a parent should. But I could tell that she felt bad for me because of how many homophobic people there were here.

I thought things would get better, so I decided to come out altogether.

Unfortunately, that was the worst thing I'd ever done.

I began to get bullied, pushed into lockers, spat on, even jumped because of who I was.

Things got worse and worse for me.

Eventually, I had to stand up for myself.

So, one day I was standing at my locker, grabbing my books for class, when Ethan came up to me and punched me in my stomach, I leant forward to hold my stomach and then he kicked me and I fell to the floor and he kept kicking me, calling me a fag, and a queer, and other gay related names.

So then I finally gave in to my pile up anger and I kicked him in his balls and he hunched to the floor, I began beating him relentless. Everyone was telling me to stop, but I kept hitting him, anger taking over.

After about 5 minutes of beating him, the cops finally came and tackled me and arrested me.

They said that I was unstable, and I needed professional help. I had almost killed Ethan.

The cops had said that they wondered what caused my outrage. I tried to tell them, what was going on and no one listened, except my mom.

I didn't mean for anything like this to happen, I was just a person who came out to the wrong person, and eventually I had to pay the price.

I had put my best friend in a coma. I couldn't get over the fact that I'd done this, I didn't mean to. I was tired of all the bullying that I went through.

Everyone called me a killer, because of my outrage, but no one realized it was because of them I did this. They always thought it was my fault because I was gay, I had it coming.

I got tired of it and plotted to commit suicide, but my mom caught me in the act and she decided she had enough, and she filed a lawsuit against Ethan, and the school because they continued to let this go on.

As a result , we won our lawsuits and mom decided it was time to move.

After that I had decided to keep this part of my life a secret, I didn't need to relive it over and over again!

*Flashback Ends*

"I didn't want people to judge me just because of what happened in the past,but somehow it threatens to follow me everywhere I go. I'm sorry I didn't tell you it's just hard for me to let it go. I didn't mean to do what I did , it just happened, it wasn't really my fault, it was self-defense." I said.

"It's okay!" Alex pulled me into his arms as I begin to cry.

"What you did was the right thing, it's not your fault that that happened to you, it's society's fault for letting it happen and turn a blind eye. You are so much more than what people think. That's why I love you!" Alex said.

At that moment I had never been so happy in my life!

Soooo. That's the secret, kind of harsh, but I understand why he would want to keep it a secret, what they did to him was horrible!
