The memory of BeThe n
After a crazy night, I decided to head home.
the house was awfully quiet and everyone was sitting in the parlor.
"hi dad"
"hi Mom" I greeted them
"Where are you coming back from," my mom asked me
"From a handout "
I was about to head to my room
when I saw a familiar book with my mom
"Mom, what are you doing with my dairy" I hated it when people went through my thing and everyone knew about it.
"is what I read through," she asked me looking at the dairy
"Can I have my dairy"
"Are you gay"
I was shocked Honestly, I didn't know what to say should I lie and say, I thought I was
"Benson, are you gay it was my father who was asking the questions now
"Yes, I am"? I own up to what I am, I knew this day would come so soon.
A punch from him to me.
"How could you do this to me, to us?
And here I thought you were.....
you are worthless
Get out of my sight". I could still hear the insult he was raining on me.
ouch!! something hit me at the back of my head. I looked down and saw my dairy, Mom threw it at me. sometimes I wonder if she gave birth to me.
my little sister rushes behind.
"Bro, I swear I didn't tell them anything"
"then, how did they find out"
"it was Mom, she came and asked for the key to your room and started scratching it and found your diary. it was as if she knew what page to turn to and..."
"stop crying, big bro isn't angry at you and can never be". I hugged her.
2 months after I left the house I couldn't stand the hate of my own family.

Author thought
Ben's parents never accepted him for who he is.
I am a writer who likes talking about the past once in a while so you don't get confused.
one of these days I am going to tell you something about those little kids.
Thank you for reading my book. please review and comment.
