Chapter 1: Family Dinner
As we were setting the table for one of our nightly so called "family" dinners I look over to my brother Blaine. Something about him seemed off tonight. I couldn't be exact but he didn't seem to be his usual Blaine self. Being so close to both my brothers makes these types of things painfully obvious. Blaine is about a year older than me and Cooper was about 6 years older than both of us. While Cooper is in his room upstairs we are down here setting the table. Blaine and I are both just entering 9th grade, I skipped a grade in elementary, while Cooper is trying to start his big career in L.A. Mom and dad both are "respected" members of the community and I guess we have some sort of family image to keep up so that is why we have nightly "family" dinners especially when Cooper comes to visits. No one outside of the immediate family knows Cooper dropped out of college. Everyone thinks he is studying in California. Tonight we were going to have some sort of pot pie dish. Before I went upstairs to call Coop down I decided to talk to Blaine.
"Blainey Boy what's wrong bro?" I asked sounding as sweet and innocent as possible.
"I am fine sis no worries," he said with a small, but forced smile on his face.
"Come on Blaine, that isn't going to work on me," I said raising my eyebrow. "Is it about that…?"
"I am okay I promise it is just…" he said finally looking me in the eye.
"What is it Blaine. I mean you probably have no reason to even be worried about anything," I said trying to reassure him even though I knew if it was about that then yes he did have a reason to worry
"Just go get Coop," he ended the conversation just like that.
That is what I did because whatever was bugging Blaine would be learned at dinner I wonder if this was the best thing. When I got to the top of the stairs I turned to the left and knocked on the second door to the right. I waited for about 30 seconds and turned the door knob. Once Cooper was looking in my direction I told him to come down for dinner. He followed me on my way out and down the stairs. Once we were all gathered at the table and seated the usual how was your day conversations started. All that could be heard for the longest time was the clanking of silverware against the plates. Blaine cleared his throat and we all looked over at him except Coop who just kept eating.
"So I have something to tell you all as my family," Blaine began. Whatever he was preparing to say must have been major if it had been bugging him this much. "Well I uh…I…" he seemed to be choking on his own words. Could this really be that bad?
"What is going on now Blaine?" dad sounded irritated with this but I was just waiting to hear what was wrong with my brother. Once he paused Blaine seemed to have regained his courage. Watching that was like watching Blaine before a performance for choir, drama, or band.
"Mom, dad, Coop, Anny, I love all of you and I want you to know…I am gay," he ended that and he didn't look at any of us and just down at the table. I knew it, but I didn't think this is how he would come out to the rest of the family. Nobody said a word and Cooper even stopped eating. I looked around to see mom and dad's reactions. Mom looked sort of pale and had her lips pressed into the thinnest line imaginable. Dad's reaction was worse. He had a fork in his hand and had it squeezed so hard that his knuckles were turning white. He then set the fork down and was the first to speak in a strained voice, "Cooper, you and Annabelle go upstairs while your mother and I have a little chat with Blaine."
How could we leave Blaine to fend for himself against mom and dad? I was about to protest when Cooper had a hand on my shoulder with a look on his face that meant later. All I could do was look over at Blaine and he just mouthed the word go and put a small smile on his face. I got up out of my chair and followed Copper to the top of the steps. He put a finger to his lips and told me to keep quiet. We listened to one of the most heartbreaking arguments that have happened in our house. Of course we couldn't hear everything but we heard some pretty intense parts.
"You really thought it would be better this way! Think of what it will do to our name!" dad was yelling and I just gripped Cooper's arm.
"Blaine, sweetie, you are only 15. Maybe you are just confused or just haven't found the right girl. This could just be a phase. Don't jump to conclusions. There is the girl that lives down the street," mom said sounding more like she was trying to convince herself.
"You are ungrateful if this gets out life will be hell for this family!" dad was just blaming Blaine and we couldn't make out the rest of the argument. A few minutes later we heard Blaine start to come up and we went to our rooms as if we were there the whole time. Once enough time passed I jumped off of my bed and headed into Blaine's room. Knocking on the door I waited. Finally he came to open it. I just looked at him and gave him a big hug. He had told he felt this way back in seventh grade. I had to ask why it was now that he decided to officially come out to mom and dad. Because even if Blaine hadn't told him we both knew that Coop already knew too. When we got into his room more he told me why he decided now was the best time to come out. And he told two of his friends, Denise and Alexander. Xander was fine with it. He said Blaine was the same old Blaine nothing could change that. Yeah it might take some getting used to but it wasn't going to end their friendship. Denise is the one that decided she wasn't the typical girl wanting a gay best friend. According to her he wasn't normal and that was just wrong. Well Denise doesn't exactly keep her mouth shut and more people knew. He said eventually our whole school would know and he would rather mom and dad heard from him than somebody else. I just hugged him and said it doesn't matter he is still Blaine nothing would change that, just like I did when he first came out to me. He told me thank you and smile and knew we could always count on each other. Then I asked if he was still going to try out for the play and he said of course. I proved my point saying nothing had changed he was the same old Blaine. We just looked at one another and both decided to get started on our homework.
A/N~ Well there you have a small prologue of what is to come. Now I hope as I go on the chapters will get longer. Also the first few chapters will be in Anny's point of view. The first view chapters will also contain some time skipping but I promise not to make it to confusing. Well thanks for reading and I hope to get some reviews to tell me how you like it and how I am doing until next time.
Next chapter: Blaine is back at school but now his secret is out and his school isn't the most accepting group of kids.
