Leading Up To It: It was like 9 o'clock when everything had pushed me too far. I started texting Ashley, my best friend. After I rampaged for awhile about random shit, she told me she knew something besides what I was telling her was going on. I admitted she was right.. and I said I wanted to ditch school tomorrow and talk. She said she couldn't because of volleyball practice after school, so she proposed we sneak out that night. I was like; fine. And so we planned to meet at midnight at the tree we first became best friends at. At 11:55 we both snuk out and met there. We walked around and actually had to run and hide from a dumb curfew cop (as they call it around here). We talked about everything but I always choked when it came up..it was eventually 3am and we were at her house because i was dropping her off. I knew I had to tell her.. right then. It: We hugged. And it seemed as though i had missed my chance. Then, out of nowhere, a stroke of courage rang through my vocal chords and i said, wait. I said i need to tell her what was bothering me, making me depressed. We hugged and she knew that it was gonna be a long one because she never tried to pull away. In the dead of night, hugging my best friend in the world, i whispered into her ear; I'm gay. We hugged for another minute.I swear to god my heart stopped until she said, "really?" Most people would take it offensivley but the way she said it was so sincere. And then she snuk back inside, and i ran home feeling like I was a billion times lighter. Nothing holding me back. ANd the best part.. i couldn't stop smiling.
Hey well done :') Gosh I just love hearing stories like these.. It just made me feel all warm and gooey on the inside
