Chapter 1

  I would wake up as I realize that it is Sunday "Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" I would groan as I roll out of bed and wear my bright pink shirt with my colorful pastel jeans, I would walk into my bathroom and pick out a flower crown. I'd walks downstairs and greet my mum while I pack to go back to my fathers house. "I made you breakfast James you can have free time until 10am then you will be at your dads by 11am" my mum would state. I would run up to my room as I eat my plain pancake. I would open my computer and Skype call my friend Milly 

   "Whats up James?" Milly would say. "How should I tell my Father that I like boys?" I would ask Milly. "Well just point it out in a conversation or something. "But you know my dad will not accept me. He will just say that I am a little 13 year old going through a dumb phase" I would declare. "Just tell him that it's your life and it is really not a choice to make you were born like that and you still do the best that you can. Love is love and make him understand that. And James if he does not accept you you know that your brother will always be there for you and he accepts you for who you are. And he is keeping your secret" Milly would lecture. "JAMES IT IS TIME TO GO" my mum would render. "Okay I have to go now...I'll record myself coming out to my father" I would say as I slam my computer shut and put it in my bag. 

   "Dad...I'm home" I would say as I take off my shoes and start to make lunch. My father would greet me and sit at the table reading the paper. "I can't believe this state is allowing gay marriage. I think they should ban it" My father would declare. "W-why ban gay marriage when they can ban Kidzbop?" I would remark. My father would give me a weird look. "How about you try out for football?" My father would tell me. "I actually tried out for Choir and Drama" I would say as I continue cooking lunch. "James that shit is for girls not boys" My father would state "No it's not" I would utter "You're so girly James just be a man dammit. I'm signing you up for football whether you like it or not" My father would declare. "But dad I am not athletic. I like to sing,Dance, and act. AND I WILL NOT PLAY FOOTBALL, I WOULD RATHER BE ON THE SIDE CHEERING THE TEAM ON. NOT MATTER WHAT, I AM NOT GOING TO PLAY FOOTBALL" I would yell as I realize that I was screaming at him. It is around 2pm and my father and I are going to church. My father is a preacher and he is making the whole church hate the gays and it is making me so mad. While my father is telling a speech about being gay is wrong but I was too focused on a cute blonde boy my age. After the speech all of us went outside to talk. The blonde guys name turns out to be Neko. Every Sunday after the speech Neko and I would walk around and climb trees together or just lay in the sun forgetting about out homophobic family's and focusing on each other. One day after church it was the best day of my life. I led Neko to the side of the church as I hid in the bush...I am not very athletic so instead of tackling him I jumped on his back as he fell to the ground. I fell on top of him with my head resting on his chest.We would both look at each other in the eye as we planted a kiss on each other. I guess when I jumped on Nekos back we were too loud by laughing because as Neko and I lay on each other having the best kiss ever my father came and ripped me off of Neko as he pushed me down and started to scream at me. Right then Nekos parents came and were scolding us together as we sit on the ground staring at each other. My father would grab my wrist as he drags me to the car. I would look back at Neko, I felt so bad he looked like he was going to cry. Right when my father got home he grabbed a belt. "OH MY GOSH DAD STOP HE IS NOT AFFECTING YOU LET HIM BE WHO HE IS IT IS HIS LIFE NOT YOURS HE CAN BE WHATEVER AND WHOEVER HE WANTS" my brother would scream as he tries to rip the belt out of my fathers hands. The next day came and it was Monday. The whole Church had a meet up so the preachers including my father tried to "fix" me. They all placed their hands on my head and shoulder, closed their eyes and started to say a prayer that was like 20 minutes long, I looked up to see Neko standing by the door as he walked to the middle of the isle. I would rip myself off of all the preachers and I would hug Neko as everyone would gasp.
