Come on baby, come out the closet. Don't be afraid of what the world will think. Just tell us your secret that made you close the door..

Percy (Still)

I looked down and apologised for my actions.

"It's okay.. But why are you so surprised?" he asked. My mom sat down in her seat more interested then ever before.

"Lucas hasn't been treating her family right. He killed her mom and her sister. He raped Teynana and hid his child with her mom from Teynana. He's a bad man doing bad things." I say.

"Oh Dalia McKinney, so that's why she kept the last name of Teynana's father. That's horrid." my mom said sadly.

"And you're saying Dalia is gone? For good?" asked my father. I nodded my head.

"Yes, now Teynana has been arrested because she's accused of his crimes since they can't find Lucas." I said.

"Well-" my mom am was cut off by a loud sob. I sighed and my dad and mom sat up in alarm.

"I thought they were all asleep." my mom said.

"They are that's David. He refuse to take his medicine." I said and heard him scream about the dark. "Shit!"

I started to walk up the stairs.

"What's going on?!" My dad yelled coming after me.

"Someone turned off his lights!" I yelled back. I sprinted to David's room and barged in to see him crying and screaming kick his covers everywhere. I turned on the light and ran to him pulling him to me.

I stroked his hair rocking side to side.

"Shhhhh, it's okay. It's okay." I said. He cried onto my chest more quietly.My parents came up stairs and watched. Questions written all over their faces.

"I'll tell you later just let me get him to sleep." I said  over David choked up sobs. They nodded and left the room. Sunshine peeked in silently and saw what was going on sleep written on her face.

She sat on the edge of the bed. And helped me put David to sleep.

"You've been distance you know." She said. I had to be distant though. Mason has been nonstop about his huge crush and it pains my heart that its not me.

I kinda been shutting everyone out for my own selfish needs. I knew it would be too risky of I told Mason how I felt.

I just wanted to tell Sunshine everything though. She had one of those welcoming appearances that makes you wanna just tell all your darkest secrets.

"You can tell me anything you know." she said as I stood and closed the door behind me. I sat in the hall my back against the wall. Sunshine sat next to me he legs out stretched because she had on a gown.

"Yeah.." I said.

"Then tell me what going one, Perce." She pressed.

"I love someone. But I can't have them." I mumble. I could feel the tears prick at the corner of my eyes as I remember those wonderful times me and Mason shared. Why can't he just love me back?

I have the worst luck when it comes to love. I'm never gonna find some one. I mean who wants me? Percy the weird gay guy who's stuck on his best friend. Suddenly I felt like the only gay in the world.

"I'm sure this person is a great person if your fell in love with them." she smiles he Sunshine smile that's contagious. I let out a smile but then laughed bitterly.

"Yeah? This person is more than great. I'm so damn deep in love Sunshine its stupid." I said.

"Its not stupid. Love is never stupid. It just operates differently." She says.

"There's a difference between Falling in love and getting that person than falling in love with a person that your 100% sure you can't get." I say.

I wanna cry. I've been in the damn friend zone for 16 years. I'm turning 17 in a month. But 16 years! I feel so horrible.

"What makes you think you think SL strongly of that?" she asks.

"Because the person I'm in love with is a guy." I say. Sunshine freezes but I keep going. " And that guy is Mason."

That's when I break down and Sunshine stand awkwardly and leaves never talking to me again.

I cry and I cry. But Sunshine doesn't leave for long she comes back with tissue and she sits in front of me..Her legs tangle with mine and she changed to shorts and a Elmo shirt. She lifts my chin up with he soft smooth finger and wipes my eyes with a tissue.

"There's not one thing wrong with that, Percy." she smiles softly. " Its okay. If you thought you couldn't tell us because we'll judge you then your wrong. Sugar, you a great guy and any boy in the world would be so happy and lucky to have such a sweet, caring, mature, and smart boy like yourself. Shoot, if I wasn't with Johnathan and you weren't gay then I'd scoop you up for my self." she chuckled.

I laughed softly with her.  And looked at her through damp lashes.

"I love him, Sun, and I don't know what to do. He's head over his heels for someone that's not me. That's why I've been distant. It hurts so bad." I say. Unwanted tears run down my face and Sunshine wipes them away

"Don't cry. You're strong and I know you can handle it. Plus your the only one smarter than me. I'm sure you can figure it out." she joked. I chuckled.

"Yeah well love is not something I can Ace."I mumbles. I wish I knew the ways of love. Then I won't have such a silly crush on my bestfreind.

"Love isn't something anyone can Ace." she said.

"Besides!" she perks up. " Do you know how bad Angel, Tee, Lucy and I want a boy gay bestfreind! Oh my god its amazing!" she gushed. I laughed.

"I will never understand you girls." I smile and she dabs the tissue on my wet eyelashes.

"Don't cry please. Be our source of strength. I really hard seeing us all torn apart. I won't tell anyone your secret." she smiled.

"Thank you." I say looking at the ground.

"And keep you head up." she titled my chin upwards with her skinny soft finger. "Now good night get some rest. I'm only a yell away you need a person to talk to."With that Sunshine kissed my forehead and grabbed the boxes of tissues.

Untangling our legs she went back in her room where Jonathan was still sound asleep.

I walked in my room and closed the door when I turned around I saw a figure from the moon light that was shining through my window. The lights were still off so the room was pitch black.

"Hello, Percy..."
