Dear Love Of Mine

Be Yourself

-Mitch-

"I'm gay." I released a breath I didn't know I was holding.

"Scott. Are you sure?"

"I'm sure Mitch. I'm tired of fighting what I know is true."

"Well, good for you Scottland. I'm proud of you."

"Thank you. I'm trying to be proud of me too but I think admitting it is enough for now."

"I think so too. I'm happy for you Scotty. You deserve to know who you truly are."

"Thank you. I owe you. Talking to you really helps."

"Well, you're welcome mate. I'm proud of you."

"Thank you."

-Scott-

I think I may be growing feelings for someone. That someone being Mitch.

We've been talking for 2 months now and he's amazing. He's helping me with how I should come out. He makes me laugh all the time. He laughs at my jokes, even if they're not funny. And he's graduating soon so he thinks he may come to LA for a visit.

"Mitch? Have you decided yet?" I heard him sigh.

"I'm not sure if I can go. My mom won't let me because I'm short like, 20 so she said no. Because I can't get it myself."

"You're short 20 what?"

"Pounds. Like, money. Ya know?"

"Yes, I know. All you said was 20. I figured bu-never mind."

"I'm sorry Scottland. I wanna visit so bad it hurts but I can't if I don't have the money."

"What if I gave you the rest? I could mail it to you. Think of it as an early birthday present." I smiled to myself as I heard him chuckle.

"You have American money though."

"I can get it transferred and then send it to you. I'll ask them how much American dollars is in 20 pounds, okay?"

"If you say so."

"So you're coming to LA?" I said with an excited tone.

"Yes, Scotty. I'm coming to LA!"

"Yay! I'm so excited! You're staying with me too. You won't be able to afford hotels here."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive. I can't wait!"

"Me either Scotty. Me either."
