Before You

Chapter 4 : Secrets

My mother wasn't around most of the time so I spent my time at school and in the library. At school I spent a lot of my time with Roman. We walked around the school, ate together and even walk together whenever we were going home since we met 3 months before, Roman and I got close than ever before, I actually found
a friend who could be there for me so when Roman and I were walking home he told me something shocking

"Shanya let me tell you something but promise that you won't tell anybody please." Roman said

"Well OK I won't remember our secret keeping code." I said

"OK well here goes nothing, Shanya I'm ... I'm....gay OK and I can't come out to my family or anyone else but you."

There I was, frozen from shock.

"Well OK you know that you will be my close friend no matter what but I also have some thing to share." I said almost crying. We walked till we got to the near by park and sat down on the bench. I took a deep breath in and told him. "Roman, do you know my older brother Tyresse the one that you saw by my house?" I asked. There was a pause and then he answered yes. "He is not my full brother, he is my cousin but I call him my brother so his parents died in a car accident and that's where my parents took him in,so as time went on he got close really close to me whereby he would touch me, get in whenever I was bathing or dressing up, send me dirty texts and etc. I did try to tell my mom but she was too darn busy to listen nor she was hardly around and my dad too busy to listen. "I busted in tears." A lot of girls like him because of his brown cure... Curly hair, hazel brown eyes and proper body. "I cried even more and Roman was there to comfort me  until I was better. As we were about to leave Roman gave me a hug." you can come to my house if you don't feel comfortable and tell me if he bothers you any further. "I gave him a warm smile as we walked home to our death devastating lives. He goes to his family and I went back to my 19 year old brother.
