Joong POV
I walk down the hall with my friend crystal.
" I just think that being gay us a choice and everyone who is gay should die, you know?" She said. I was zoned out staring at Nine aka my crush. I knew I was gay since birth, but I always went to an all Christian school, so you can see how I'm trapped. My parents are very homophobic as well, and my friend. We are currently in the lunch room right before I bible class.
" Hey Joong, you're staring at that dude again, stop it's weird." She said making a gross face. I rolled my eyes. She's always been very homophobic but I have to be around her because my parents like her. Nine glanced over at me and looked away trying to hide my blushing face.
" Um, sure I guess." I muttered picking at my food. She nodded.
" Good, because I like you and I think you like me and I think we should go out!" She said excitedly.
" Uh, Crystal, I like someone else." I said. She looked hurt. Don't get me wrong, if I was straight I totally would, but I'm not so no thank you.
" Why not?!?" She yelled.
" I'm pretty, I have a great personality, straight, your parents love me, I have a big boobs and a big butt, AND IM CHRISTIAN WHAT ELSE COULD YOU WANT?!?" Ok, she was screaming at this point.
" Crystal I" I was cut off again.
" You know what? Forget it Joong, I don't like you, you're annoying and worthless, and wait till I tell your parents and the rest of the school your little secret!" She yelled looking like a maniac. People were staring and pointing at me.
" Crystal please stop!" I begged.
" No! I'm calling your parents right now!" She grabbed her phone and ran out. She turned around and yelled.
" Joong is gay and has a crush on boy younger than him!" She yelled and left. People started yelling and throwing not only things at me but insults at me. I walk out tears forming in my eyes. I walk outside and into the woods. I look to the sky.
" WHATS SO WRONG ABOUT BEING GAY?!!?! WHY DO I HAVE TO SUFFER BECAUSE I LIKE A BOY?!?" I yelled over and over again. Then I heard a soft voice.
" Joong?" I know that voice. Nine's. I turned around, honestly embarrassed.
" H-hi" I said. Fuck I stuttered.
" Is it true that you're gay and like someone?" He asked. I nodded reluctantly. He looked down and smiled.
" W-well my parents except gay people because I'm gay and I like someone and um they said if you are kicked out of your house or don't feel safe there you can come and live with us." He said blushing. I smiled.
" Thank you." I said. He looked up and smiled.
" So, who do you have a crush on?" He asked me. Shit.
" U-Um, you." I said. He smiled.
" I like you too." He said.
" Scratch that, I love you." He said fiddling with the edge of his shirt. I grab his waist and pull him close.
" I love you too." I said. He smiled and grabbed my shirt collar and pulled me down to kiss him. We kissed until we were out of breath. When we finished he looked up and smiled at me and hugged me tightly and I hugged back. 10 years later and we are in this same spot saying our wedding vows. My parents came around to the fact I'm gay after four years and said they loved me for me. I haven't talked to Crystal in forever. I look down at Nine at that moment thinking he is beautiful, when the truth is, he is stunning. We kissed our official kiss and people rise and clap their hands.
