Tales of a gay teenager
Chapter 1
March 22, 6:00AM. The day of the accident. I woke up, by my natural alarm, two hours before my alarm clock starts ringing. I decided to head downstairs to the kitchen to make breakfast for everyone, today Iam in a special mood because we are going for a viewing for our dream house. I sat on top of the kitchen counter and logged in to Facebook, a notification came in. It was from Mark, my boyfriend.
I logged out again and continued to make breakfast. Two hours later, everyone joined in at the table.
Dad: Well what did we do, to deserve this special morning today
Mom: Come on Danny, our 16 year old son is finally growing up
Me: You can say that again, Iam proud to be me. Keisha, when are you going to grow up?
Mom: Leave Keisha, when are we expecting a bride
Me: (Silent for a moment) Uhm, no Mom it's too early for that
Dad: No, Son. How old am I now, I can't wait 2-3 years for you to get married
Me: But, I want to finish my education first before anything,I just don't want distractions
Keisha: I think he has a point
I sat there watching my whole family, debating about when should I get a Wife. I dismissed myself slowly from the table and took my bag and went to school. I walked by foot, and I finally reached school. I saw a familiar face, it was a guy with brown messy hair brown eyes, and cute pink lips. He waved, and then went to the back of the school grounds. I followed him, when I reached there, he grabbed my hand and pulled me closer. Our lips gently touched, I felt his force against my pants. I slide my hands down to his zipper, slowly opening it. He stopped
Him: We can't do this now
Me: Why not?
Him: We just can't, you know Iam tired of having to live in the shadows, I can't kiss you in public,I can't hold hands in public with you like a normal couple. I just, I don't know
Me: What don't you know, you don't understand, how it feels like to not be yourself, I hate this too
Him: You're right I don't understand, and I will never will. But why are we continuing with this if we don't know where are we going
Me: Are you seriously ending this, after a whole two years Mark. We've been through hell the both of us
Mark: I know Sam, all of this must be hard for you. But have you ever thought about how I would feel in the process
Me: I care for you, I love you. You're my boyfriend, my brother and my best friend dude
Mark: Sam, I love you too. But I can't be stuck in something that's not real
Me: It is real..right?
Mark: (Closing Zip)Sorry Sam, but I was looking for a harmless situationship..
Me: friends with benefits for two years? Come on it had to be real
Mark: Iam sorry but we can only be friends, innocent friends
He walked out. I sat down on the grass fields of the soccer ground, I layed down and screamed as loud as I could. After a few minutes of gathering myself, I went back to class and continued for the session of the day. After school, My mom and Dad were waiting by the lot. I got in the car and we went to fetch my sister, Keisha. An hour later we stopped by a a shop, and bought ice cream, my Mother's favourite. We continued with our trip
Me: Dad don't you think we should refuel the car, or is it okay?
Dad: I've been riding this baby for years, but it can never get to the level me and your mother have
Keisha: Eww Dad, did you have to
My phone's battery went low, I plugged it in the car.
Dad: Look at all of you, so happy and excited. Iam trully grateful to have you as my family
Me and Keisha: That's so cute Dad
They kissed. Dad accidentally lost the wheel and the car got rigged, we went down to a distant tree..hitting the tree with the front of the car.
I woke up and found myself hospitalised, the nurse arrived to do a routine check
Me: Where's my Mom?
Nurse: Don't worr, your family is safe and is in the next wards
Me: Can I see them
Nurse: Okay, I'll accompany you to them
I journeyed across the next wards to my mother and I found her awake
Mom: Samuel, Keisha..Danny, Danny
Me: Mom, the nurse said everyone is okay
The nurse's monitor suddenly rang, she quickly ran out of the room
Me: Nurse what's going on
I ran out to follow the nurse, and I reached my father's ward
Doctor: Time of Death, 22 March, 9:30PM
Years fell down my cheeks and I collapsed..
A few months later
Keisha was busy unpacking in her room, my mother was busy cleaning the kitchen. Everyone's lives simply went back to normal, We were settling in a new house, and I was grateful for that. Ever since my dad's funeral everything wasn't okay. I went downstairs to help my mother move a few heavy stuff. This life was becoming a usual one, and I had a secret that only a certain people know. Iam a closeted gay, and only Keisha knows, and my ex boyfriend Mark. I grabbed an apple from the fridge, as I was about to eat. A knock came from the door, it was a huge broadered, caramel skinned man wearing black glasses
And a suit. He went in, and went on one knee infront of my mother
Him: Diana, will you marry me?
