“Donnie kind of inspired me. He was just a kid, and he was brave enough to admit to being bi, even though his parents reacted terribly. I know my family won’t react well, but it’s time to be brave.” Brenton looks so nervous that he might throw up, and Zeke wants to hug him, but instead, he takes Brenton’s hand.

“Your band will support you. They’re your family. From what I’ve seen, they’ve been your family for a long time.” Zeke’s seen the band together. They are a family, and Jamie cares about them so much, too. She’s already like a mother.
