Dear Diary.

As you know, my name is Miles Prower, though I usually go by Tails.

I finally did it, I told them my darkest secret. They didn't take it well, which isn't surprising considering how most people view people like me. I don't get it though, it's not like I'm a pedophile or anything. So why do people make me out to be so disgusting? I mean, what is so wrong with loving another man?

My now ex-boyfriend Shaun didn't see eye to eye with me though. When I told my parents about us, he accused me of tricking him into it. He claims that he is just like everybody else. Normal, not a freak. I thought that I was normal, too. Maybe I was wrong? Maybe I just misunderstood the feelings I got from our friendship as being something more than simple brotherly love?

NO! There is no doubt about it, I loved him. I loved him more than words can possibly express. Yet, I had to let him go. All that happiness wrenched away from me because I was tired of hiding who I am from somebody whose job relies on living up to the public's expectations. I am sorry that I ever told my dad. My life wasn't perfect, but at least it was better than it is now.

I am leaving tonight with just my clothes and the bare essentials. My dad has at least agreed to pay the rent on an apartment as long as I get an after-school job to cover my food and other stuff.

Well, I have to go, so I am signing off for now. Tails
