Flashback:
Nerves froze in my chest.
the roaring laughs turned
into silent gasps.
did i really just say that?
Oh yes the hell i did
"W-what do you mean you're gay"
"Gay as in I- like boys" I stuttered.
"I know but dude that's fucked up"
"I know but its not yk its w-ho i am you know"
"BUT IT IS FUCKED UP" he shouted causing my heart to jump a little.
His reaction was not surprising it represented the natural reaction anyone in this town would have. The town of rosewood may be rich in its assets but very poor in the way they think. While South Carolina embrace the rainbow flag rosewood refuses to be apart of the band wagon. Establishing rules are toxic homophobic just downright nasty against the members of the community. If you are caught in the act of being with the same gender you are immediately hanged without any opportunity to defend themselves. The norms are man and woman no different. no exceptions. To the outsiders our logic is brutal with a narrow minded backward thinking but to us it's all we ever known. We were thought to hate them scorn them and present them with the worst treatment known to mankind. it was unheard of to be kind towards them and even foreign to be one of them. But Tristan I felt his thinkings were different from the rest I mean he never judged my background like most people would usually do he always had an unique philosophy on everything but in the end he was still the same"
"So what made me different?"
"dude if anyone finds out you're dead you know that right?",like I cant even look at you the same anymore, how can you think this is okay you need to get help"
"I know just please don't tell anyone" i begged.
Tears began to saturate my eyes. I mentally cursed myself for thinking this was a good idea. what got in to me maybe it was the setting of the scenery that yellow sky with the luscious green grass the way the wind play with your hair the slow conversations that just makes you wanna spill your guts or maybe these feelings I kept imprisoned for so long finally built the courage to break free to taste the sweetness of freedom but little did they know freedom could have an horrible after taste.
"dude I think you need to leave, you need to figure out your shit man, this is not okay"
"I don't this is who i am Tristan, i tried to change i really did but i cant because thi-s is who i am"
"well try harder " he sneered
"I can"t"
"why?"
"Because I'm madly in love with you"
