I got this idea from the short film 'Imagine a world where being "Gay" was the norm and being "Straight" would be the minority' I do no own i want to base this story around it. I am heterosexual but i am not homophobic. I believe people should be who they want to be not what society thinks is right. Please respect this story and thank you to anyone who reads it. Enjoy.. The link to the vid will be on my profile.
Chapter one: Hi i'm Lucy West
They say that you can become a certain way just by your surroundings, others say you are what you were born like. That's kinda hard when you grow up with a completely normal life and family.
"Hey sweetheart how was school?" My mum Christi. "Good." I said dropping my bag on the floor. "Hurry up and get changed. Dinner's almost ready." My mum Alison said from the kitchen. "Ok!" I ran up stairs and got changed into some jeggings and a white t-shirt. As i stepped out the door i bumped into my older brother Lexel, Lex for short. "Watch it squirt." He joked as he ruffled my hair. I stuck my tongue out at him as he passed.
I was 12 when i figured out i wasn't like everyone else. My brother brought home one of his boyfriends. Nate. I thought he was cute. They always taught us in church that being a heterosexual was a sin. That we would all burn in hell. I've been this way since i was born... and i hate myself for it.
"Ok kids i have some new's." Mum C (Christi) said to everyone. "We're having another sibling?" Asked Lex. She shook her head. "No." Mum A (Alison) took Mum C's hands. They looked at eachother, smiled then turned back to us. "We're moving." Lex dropped his fork. "WHAT?!" They looked at him. "I know it's a shock but your mother and i have got a job transfer. It pay's really well, we're doing it for you guy's." Lex looked down. "Ok." They looked at me. "Are you ok with it honey?" Mum C asked. I nodded. They were going to bring me anyway...
1 month later...
"Lucy! Have you got everything?" Mum A shouted from the moving truck outside. "Yeah!" I shouted back. I ran downstairs and got in the car with everyone. "Ok. We all ready?" Mum C asked. We nodded. "Then off we go! To London!" We live in Manchester. She started up the car and headed off. Oh well, look's like another stepping stone has to be crossed. I plugged in my earphones and lay my head back. This would be a long journey.
We arrived a few hours later. Once we had unpacked almost everything we settled down to have some dinner. "When we were moving in a saw a heterosexual couple down the street." Mum C said disgusted. "Really? How do you know?" Mum A asked. "I saw them in the front of the house. The man was trimming the bushes when she came up behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist." She answered doing the motion whilst speaking. "Disgusting. I don't want you going that way to school Lucy." Mum A said. "But.." I tried. "No but's. No finish your dinner."
I currently am lying in bed staring at the ceiling. I don't get it. Why can't i be normal... If anyone found out what i was, they would hate me. I hate me. This had become a thing. To lie in bed and just beat myself up. In the hope, just to hope that maybe it could cure me...
I hoped you enjoyed the first chapter. See you in the next one.
