              It was a normal night for everyone in the dream family. Well....all but for clay....he was preparing for the biggest moment of his life. He has kept a secret from his family since primary school. And today is his 18th birthday so he decided there was no better time to tell them, then his first day of being a legal adult ,right? Of coarse they would support him, and love him, right?.....right?

     (Setting: everyone is settling down in the living room while clay is preparing himself in the guest bathroom that Is connected to the living room)

         Clay takes a few more breaths in after practicing his words over and over again. But the more he seemed to practice the more the words just got more jumbled. This was because he knew with every practice got closer to the real thing. He was going to do it. He takes one big breath and looks into the mirror. "Mom...Dad....", he pauses.. "I-...I... IM GAY" it knocks all the wind out of his chest and he is filled with dread and he took a moment before realizing what he had just done.

    Clay had SCREAMED that he was gay with his family a doors muffle away. Then he hears talking from the living room before he here's loud shuffling. And before he knows it hes dragged from the bathroom and sat on the couch. He sees his sisters staring at him with a scared look almost as if they knew his fate. His younger brother was sat on the far side of the couch trying not to make eye contact but couldn't help but glance towards him. Then... there was his parents....

      Clay's mom was looking as if she was disgusted at the words that had filled the room moments ago. On the other side of her was a very angry and yet somehow more disgusted clays dad . clay was unsure how to read this situation. Out of no where his father opens his mouth as if he was going to say something but just as he was about to let out his words dream had beat him to it...."..... are you disappointed in me?...." Clay's mom and dad walked from the room .They sat in silence for what seemed like forever before Their parents returned. 

    Clay's parent's faces look stern and cold. Clay holds his breath and swallows as the butterflies dance in his stomach. 

Clay's mother opens her mouth. And this is what she says " Clay we have decided that........"
