somewhere in the garden
"I noticed B doesn't have a girlfriend. I hardly see him with any girl" Mrs. Walter opens a conversation with her husband
"that's because your son is focused on life"
"even at that, he should at least have a female friend"
"well he doesn't want to"
"I am starting to suspect, he is gay"
"why will you say such a thing" Mr. Walton yelled at his wife
"he likes girlie stuff" she tried to reason with her husband
"so" he questions her further
"he may be gay"
"enough, Ben isn't gay and can never be gay do you know the shame this will cause us". he ended the conversation. what if someone heard you?
why do they always think about themselves and not me a 21-year-old boy thought to himself
I have always been like this, although I didn't understand it not on till my class 9 in mid-school. I had a friend of mine. A male friend to be persistent. I started developing feelings for him. feelings I couldn't understand, I got jealous whenever he was with another guy or girl.
I was overprotective of him, I was like a mother hen to him.
when I finally felt like expressing myself. I found out he got back with his ex-girl. I was quite hurt. to forget about this strange, weird feeling, I started dating. but I never liked my opposite gender the way I liked my gender.
I took a deep breath and left, I lacked the courage to walk up to them and tell them, so I did what I knew how to do best
"Bro, where are you going," my little sister asked me
"out with my friends"
"When will you be back"
"very late"
"Okay, stay safe"
"Thanks"
"hi guy," he greeted his friends
"You are late"
"is it anything new to you, his always late when it comes to hanging out".
I knew Ben was gay, I remember overhearing it when he told his sister about it. All I needed now was proof and I was going to get it today. Mrs. Walter thought
"Angel, where is Ben," I ask my daughter
*he went out" It was as if the heavens were hearing my thoughts and decided to grant it
"Get me the keys to his room"
"Why Mom" I gave her the never question me eye and I left to get her the key.
"Here you go" I grabbed it and walked upstairs straight to his room
Ben was always a private person, he didn't like to talk or share things with me or his dad.
I searched for his dairy and when I found it, I searched for the exact date
"Mom, that's private"
"Go call your dad"
"mom"
when I saw Angel was not moving to took my phone and dialed him to come over to Ben's room.
"what is it"
"read"
