It was yet another day.I was seated in the front rows of the church as usual while the reverend preached.My dad was busy with other church activities with some other Deacon, and my mother and sisters were seated beside me.Keith didn't come to church today, he had told me about the school match which was later postponed to today. Even though his dad wanted him to attend church and skip the match, his coach had done well in convincing Mr. Schuler.Once I get home, I should give him a call, because right now... I swear with the cross of Jesus Christ at my front that I'm already missing him.And he had even kissed me in his car after we had gotten interrupted by the little kid.Gosh! I'm feeling hot already."Are you okay?" Leah muttered beside me and I turned to look at her with a slight nod before looking back at the reverend who would soon round off his preaching.Calling Keith should even be the last thing I should be worrying about... I'm telling my family that I'm gay, and I have
Matthew was seated next to me.We held hands, while I used the other to steer the wheel.I'd have wondered why we were holding hands or why I had even offered to pick him up from the hospital but I guess I already found the reason.I didn't find it strange anymore and we wouldn't even be the first person to ever love each other. I want to live this moment while it lasts.It makes me more overjoyed than I have ever been.I stole a glimpse at Matthew and our eyes met, we both smiled as I looked back to the road. "Are you okay?""Yes," Matthew replied. "I told my doctor about us." He was still staring at me, I could tell from my peripheral vision."You did?" I say."Yes... And I'm sorry I didn't ask for your permission..." He apologized which caused me to turn to smirk at him."Come on man, I'm fine with it." I gave him an honest smile. "You're going to tell your family tomorrow as well right?" I pulled over to the side of the road and stopped the car."Yeah. But not about you - us." He
I knocked on the door. George's voice rang out calling me in.As I twisted the doorknob, I walked in shutting the door behind me.George was seated on his chair as I walked towards him. "Hey, Matthew. How are you?" He asks as I get closer."Doing well." I beamed in a smile. Knowing that Keith would come to pick me up, and I just finished speaking with him had had me grinning ever since I entered the hospital."I see something is up with you." George gave me a knowing look. "Have your seat?" He offered me and I had my seat across him in his familiar office with wallpapers of your part of the body and everything that had to do with his profession."How are you too? And Lora?" I asked and a smile plastered on George's lips. "I see something is up with you too.""Yeah, we've been happy at least." It was evident in his face and there's no doubt I am happy for him."Tell me about you too. You don't want to stop grinning from there to here." George chipped in."Huh..." I pause relenting whet
"Good morning Dad," I say as I walk into the dining room where my dad is seated with Jude having breakfast.It was Saturday morning and it's been two days since I saw Matthew, although we still talked throughout on the phone last night.He didn't come to school on Friday and I had even wondered why even though I had tried convincing him to, I noticed he probably had a misunderstanding with Billy whom I was about to see after having breakfast.And Winifred too, luckily she was going back to where she came from next week on Tuesday so it wouldn't be a problem for Matthew anymore especially when I have warned her to stay away from Matthew and whatever it is that concerned him which she knows about should remain with her and if it's comes out. She wouldn't like what I would do to her.I still remember how she stared unbelievably at me. "Are you serious? Matthew is gay and he's fucking trying to convert you. You know he's being led by some demonic spirit and that demon wants to possess you
"Please, I don't want to meet with anyone." I had told Ruth when she asked that a friend was waiting for me downstairs.Of course, I thought it was Billy, he must have come here to confirm if what I told him was true or not but I can't even help it.I can't bring myself to imagine that he would also feel worse about who I am. I'm angry about why I had even bothered to tell him.How certain am I that he truly liked me? What if he only had an interest in me but didn't want a relationship?I didn't even know the time tears started dropping from my eyes. I buried my face in my pillow as I wept.I didn't want to think of Keith who must have already been brainwashed by Winifred.Hallelujah! She already had him to herself and Leah would soon inform my family. Although I'm not yet ready, I guess it's high time I came out to them.But why does it hurt? Why am I even crying?I sniffed, my face still buried in the pillow but then I felt a touch on my arm.Shit! Is that my mother? I asked myself
I brought the car to a halt at the familiar building of the Harry.I alighted from the car as I round it to stop at the gate where I knocked on it waiting for a reply.Soon, Leah, whom I had seen at the school, appeared with a faint smile. As she finished unlocking the gate, I greeted her with a smile. "Hi.""Hey, Keith?" She called."Yes, Keith." Smile. "What about Matthew? Is he alright? I need to see him." I say trying to hide how much I longed to see Matthew.Throughout my ride down here, he had been in my head, and I just wanted to assure him that I was never going to feel disgusted about who he was; I wonder if Leah, standing at my front here, already informed his family that she heard about his sexuality.Even on the field, I hadn't paid attention I guess that's how much Matthew affected me."I don't think he would be willing to see anyone..." Leah says in a low whisper with a hint of wanting me to understand what she meant."I know... I mean, yeah. We both heard what Winifred
