TW: Homophobia, Near Death
The current day is August 27th. The day I plan to tell Layla the truth. We were walking home from school, it kinda sucks that I can't take a bus because I'm under a mile from the school, but its whatever. The cool fall breeze is brushing between me and Layla. I look over to her as we are crossing the bridge, then untie the flannel from my waist and slip it over my shoulders.
"So how was your day?" I look at Layla and smile. "Eh, it was good I failed the English test somehow and I have a photoshoot tonight at 5." Layla brushed off her skirt, I never understood how she could wear a skirt in such cold weather, I swear she wears them year around. "Dang I'd be dead if I failed mine." We both chuckled. "I hate this bridge, its so far down." Layla glanced at the water below. "I know. I think its 11 meters down. You could die from that impact." Surface tension is quite interesting, how it works and such.
I sigh, "Look I have to tell you something, I hope you don't mind." Layla seems intrigued. "Go for it- OoOoOOo Do you have a crush???" Layla smirks. "I- No- I-I'm into girls, more then boys- Like, I would rather date a girl- What I'm trying to say is I'm a lesbian." I smile, hoping she would be fine with it, there's a growing fear because her face looks discussed. She's not answering, in fact she stopped walking. "Uhm, hello?" I stop beside her, shes smiling. That brought me to ease. But something was off. "Girls? As in, Lesbian? This can't be right- You're not one of those freaks!" I widen my eyes, shocked.
"Freaks?! They are nothing but human! You might as well call yourself a freak! Its been months I haven't changed!" My eyes fill with tears. Layla sighs. "Months? You've been hiding this for months?! You're insane!" Her eyes, her smile. I wanted to run but it felt like I was stuck in place. I *had* to deal with this. "Insane?! Look at you! You're calling people who just like the same gender insane?! I understand you're more into God but I'm your best friend! You cant accept me for who I am?"
At this point tears were streaming down my face. Layla looked up at me. "You're a completely new person then you were in kindergarten. It's actually really simple to just date a guy, I'm sure your mind will change and you'll be normal." I pushed her to the ground. "That's not it! You don't understand I don't have control over this!- You're just being a horrible person!" I saw her long blonde hair swing up, her smile and wide eyes, her hands draw back and hit my chest. I felt my body go over the bridge railing, the air pushing against me. The bridge getting smaller and smaller, farther away. I saw her leaning over the edge. Before...
Darkness... It felt like 100 hammers hit my entire body, and then it was cold. And then dark.
