Present time

~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up to my alarm blaring, I had woken up happier than I ever have, today I was going to graduate and I could finally leave this place that Holded nothing but misery for me.

I got dressed, brushed my teeth, grabbed my backpack and headed down the stairs. I saw my mom in the kitchen making pancakes, this is one thing i would miss, home cooked meals and my amazing mother i thought as i headed towards the dining room were my younger siblings were there was 15 year old Abigail, 11 year old Nathen and then there was 9 year Scarlett, they were going to be the ones that i was going to miss the most they didn't know that i was leaving neither did my mom, but i think it better this way it won't hurt as much i keep saying to myself trying to convince myself that it's the right thing to do.

As i walked into the dining room my little sister ran into my arms screaming " good morning Marcelo, mom made pancakes today with chocolate chips!"

I smiled at how innocent she was. She didn't know about all the lies this family has. I hope she never loses that joy she has. I owe her my life in a way. " Come on Marcelo Nathan going to eat your breakfast if you don't sit down to eat" my mom said as she came into the dining room with a plate of bacon. " I'm going, I'm going" I said as I let go of Scarlett as she scurried away to her seat to finish her breakfast.

As I finished my breakfast I said bye to my mom and me and my siblings walked to the bus stop. While we walked to the bus stop I saw Nathen wasn't acting like his talkative self. " hey Nathen what wrong." I said worryingly. He looked at me with a conflicting expression, like he was debating whether to tell me or not. " you promise you won't tell mom or dad." He whispered looking towards the ground. " I promise with my life Nathen, if you don't want me to tell them I won't." His expression changed to a worried one to relieved one. " so what is it that's making you so worried" I said " I think I'm gay, I know it wrong b..but." He shuddered as he started to cry. " hey look at me Nathen" I said as I grabbed him by the arms, he looked at me with worried look like I might hate him for being gay. " Its okay to be gay and it not wrong to be gay Nathen" I said and I hugged him, he cried into my chest. " I was so scared that you wouldn't accept me because of what the kids at school say." He whispered. " you never have to be scared of telling me something I'll always be here for you bad or good, okay" I said as I looked at him straight in the eye for him so see that I was being sincere. " thank you Marcelo" he said while he hugged me back.

" There's nothing to thank me for. I'm your big brother, that 's what we're for, and for the kids in school they're just idiots and jealous of you because you have a cool big brother like me." I said, as he chuckled as he wiped away his tears, " You're not as cool and you think." I scoffed " you wish Nathen." I said he smiled as we walked the rest of the way to the bus stop. As i beat myself how i didn't know that my brother was gay and that he had to go throught it alone amd thinking i wasn't going to accept him

As we got to the bus stop the bus was already there. As I got into the bus I saw my best friend Emma setting it one of the back rows, and yes a girl and a boy and best friends without anything going on between the two. I walked to the back row. I saw her reading a book as I sat down. She put the book down and looked at me with the widest smile I ever saw.

" okay creep what with the smile." I said. " Aria asked me to be her girlfriend and we were on a date" she shrieked excitedly. " That amazing Emma you liked for so long is about time." I said. I was so happy for her she deserved for someone to love her sense her parent's weren't accepting about her being lesbian which was stupide, I hate idiotic small minded people. So they kick her out and know she is living with her grandmother. She accepts her for her and they say that the older generation are judgmental.

"I know I'm so excited." She said happily. " So when is this date?" I said " this Sunday" she said with a smile." " Wait todays the last day of school. What do you guys do when you guys go off to college?" I asked questionable. " Well we're going to the same college so we're going to keep dating in college." She said

" lucky" I said even though I wasn't even in a relationship. " I know," she said happily.

During the rest of the bus ride to school we talk about random things from aliens to different types of music until we got to school, as the bus came to a halt at are school, as we got down from the bus I thought to myself welcome to hell 2.0 what other peoples call Edwards Catholic high school
