Default Came out! Shocking but accepting reaction

Not to long ago, Mariska read my note (thanks to Ianthe's advice) she as pretty shock. I thought she knew.After a brief conversation, she accepted me. Yay!!!

Congratulations! I'm so glad you were able to tell her, and that it went well. It seems like you two are close.

My heart was beating very fast when I put the note in her room. I get scared when ever she calls my name.

Feels pretty weird. Now, when ever I'm alone with her, we can check out men

I also ask her if she can help me come out to my parents before my 14th birthday.

congrats man! it's a big relief to come out to family, even if it's just to one person, because then you have that one person you can talk to about anything...and they'll be there for you. one step closer to being able to just be yourself at home! i hope that you are able to find the right words to say in coming out to the rest of your family, and that they will be as accepting as she was.
