Hidden Roses

Pax is a fifteen year old (rising junior) with no sense of self love and also with a shitty family. He grew up in a world where he hadn't heard a lot of things even existed, like anything in the LGBT spectrum, and he'd grown up in churches that exiled the word "gay". In sixth grade, everything finally clicked.

He was transgender.

Just because he realized it, though, didn't mean his entire life would become perfect. From the time he was twelve on, he was sick and confused and altogether terrified of what he's become. After he came out to all of friends, most of them ditched him until his only friends were the school's gay power couple and a nonbinary internet friend he'd never even talked to in real life, and only them to help him and figure out everything that needs figuring out.

In this coming-out story, I delve basically into what was my young teenage years - so I included quite a lot of things I went through. Some triggers this might include are:

-transphobia
-homophobia
-vague references to self harm
-suicidal thoughts & actions
-SPOILER: Pax is kicked out at some point; I'd suggest that you don't read it if you're not comfortable with that because that's the climax.
