I'm Straight...

5.

I stared out the window until Max pulled up. Once she came to the door, I opened it before she could knock. "Good morning" I pulled her in and snuck her upstairs into my room. "I bought you an outfit instead. She handed it to me. It was a crop top and jean joggers "Seriously, I'd never wear this" she nodded and said "Exactly. Hopefully it'll make you more confident" I walked into the bathroom. I put it on and I walked out. "See, you look nice" I folded my arms and said "Who am I dressing up for. I don't have a boyfriend"

"It still is nice to have sex appeal" I looked down and said "I'm not having sex any time soon" she lifted my face and kissed me. I quickly pulled back "What the hell! Stop doing that. I told you that I was straight and it's the second time you've kissed me" she grabbed my shoulders "It's your punishment" I was confused "I'm gay, you're straight. Every time you look down I'll kiss you. No matter where we are...even if we are in the middle of the hall" I rolled my eyes "That's how we stop being friends"

"But I'm serious. There's no need to look sexy because I'm not having sex right now...I'm sure you sleep with a lot of people" she nodded and said "Yes I do...being beautiful comes with benefits" I grabbed my book bag and said "Alright, I'm sick of you. Can we sneak out now" she shook her head and said "I want to make your sister jealous" she's going to hate me even more now.

We went downstairs and I walked in the dining room. "Hey mom" My mom looked up and smiled "Hey honey, who's your friend" I sat down and Max sat next to me. "She doesn't have friends mom" she looked up and when she saw Max she kind of went speechless "She so does have friends. Hi I'm Max" Max smiled and my mom said "Aw, nice to meet you. You're so pretty...I feel like I know you" I nodded and said "Yeah you do mom. This is the gay model that Annie is crushing over." She looked a bit shocked

"What! I'm so not crushing over...her. Did she talk about me to you Max. If so what did she say" I looked at Max and she said "You didn't come up much but Amelia did tell me that she didn't want us to be friends because she didn't want you to hate her even more but you two seem to get along right" she nodded and said "Of course, I love my sister dearly" I just stared at her. "Great. I'll be in the car" Max left and once the door closed Annie jumped on me "What the hell is your problem!" Momma pushed her off of me. She pulled us up and said "Cut it out!"

"I did nothing wrong!" I said as I stood up. "You do everything. I can never have anyone I want because you always take them. First Frankie, then Pete, and now Max! You don't even like girls!" Momma stood between us and I said "I must've forgot. You seemed real content riding Henry last night in the drive in. I was there!" She gasped and said "You're adopted!" I just went silent. I stared at her in silence "N-no I'm not" I said quietly

"My mother adopted you after your mother died during your birth. You're adopted!" Tears filled my eyes and I said "I will never forgive you. You're a bitch" I left and ran. I just ran away, I didn't have any destination. After a minute or two I felt arms wrap around me "Stop running. Stop!" I stood there and cried. It was Max "Why'd you leave me!" I cried. She hugged me tighter "I'm sorry... I won't leave you again."
