A GOOD DEED
Matty pressed the record button and I sat in a stool, folded my hands over my lap and stared straight at the camera.
“Every year, nine out of ten gay teens in schools suffer from bulling because of their sexual orientation, thirty percent of them commit suicide because of their situation, because they are being mistreated, abused and threatened. They give up and chose the easiest way out they find. The lucky ones just live in fear, they live scared” I started. “But also there are boys…”
“That aren’t very clear about who they are” Liam continued.
“They are kind” Freddy smiled.
“They are funny” Tim added.
“They are the best friends anyone could have” Cass spilled and then his look changed as scripted.
“They are fliters” I pointed out with stern eyes, “The world loves them and they love being loved. They are players. They sweep everything on hand, they think they own the world”
“But everything changes” Liam said drily.
“When they meet a gay guy” Matty hopped quickly before me as he said those words and flashed a toying smile toward the camera.
I stared back at the lens and this time I rose a picture I printed from Steve’s profile’s that I held between my index and middle finger. “This is Steve” I started.
“Last year I met this handsome and funny guy who made me look starts and believe I could someday reach the moon”
Jim snorted in the back of the room.
“Cut!” I gasped rolling my eyes. “What is your problem Jimmy?” I said angrily, I was still mad at him for giving up.
“All this sounds so surreal” He grinned and I ignored him.
Hip hit the record button again and I continued telling the Steve’s story and how he ruined my life.
“They make you believe they need you” Cass continued with the story when I finished. “They tell you how important you are for them, they take everything that matters in your life and make it theirs”
“Then they get confused” Tim gasped. “They see in you the things they wished a girl could have, your thrust, your understanding, your capability to actually listen to their problems and matter about them”
“They hate you for being what you are” Freddy admitted with a sad look. “And deep inside they hate themselves for believing that they might be like you”
“They hide their feelings for you the same way you try to keep yours buried inside your chest” Liam added.
It was my turn again “When they can’t hold the pressure anymore they leave, they say they are not like you, they look at you with hatred and then make you cruel pranks just to prove themselves that they are right”
“That’s what they did to me”
“And me”
“And me”
“And me”
“And me”
“And me”
“Yeah me too” Jim said rolling his eyes when I pointed at him with the camera.
“That’s what they do to all the gays around the world”
“Curious” Liam said wryly.
“Hetero-flexible” Matt continued.
