Hello this is my first fan fiction I hope you enjoy it. This POV you'll find out later in the chapter. Sorry if there are spelling mistakes or grammar issues. Just stating all I own is the plot.

Without further a due chapter 1 of Gradual Effect

Uggh

Why me? Why can't it be anyone else?

I don't like that Dad left us for that TRAMP named Stacy.

But that isn't even the half of it. He left right after Jackie died. Like who does that?

How much of a coward does he sound like. That's the cowards way to deal with grief. You don't see me contemplating suicide.

I couldn't do that to Mom. She already lost a daughter 6 months ago and a ex husband 4 months ago. I don't think she'll be able to handle another one. Plus, I think Jackie will come back to murder me if I tried anyways. I am now the man of the house and I have got to be the rock for mom.

Well, I guess it's about time to introduce myself. My name is James Diamond and I am 16. I have chocolate brown hair and pretty awesome hazel eyes. I am 6'1 and you'll learn more about me.

Right now you are probably already thinking I am full of myself. To be honest you maybe a bit right. How many guys do you know that spends an hour on their hair and the an hour on picking clothes. So, yes as you guessed it I am more feminine than most guys my age.

Well here is a shocker for you all I am NOT gay. I am Bi. Which to people who don't know what Bi is. It means I like both boys and girls. At the moment everybody and I do mean everybody thinks I am straight this also includes my mom. The only person who knew was Jackie and her lips are more than likely sealed.

The reason I am not out yet is because no one likes different. I am already outed by everyone. They think I am way to"female" to be a guy. If I come out then that will be another thing to add to the arsenal coming out will have to wait til we leave Phoenix.

Wanna know why we are leaving. Simple really. Mom believes we need a new start in somewhere different. She says once the divorce is settled and I am out of my Sophomore year that's when we'll move.

Move to where you ask. I don't have a fucking clue she won't tell me anything. All she says is she has a friend there that has a son my age and a daughter 2 years older than me. So I'll soon find out.

I just hope it's no where cold.

Thank you guys so much for reading next chapter will be out later. Please review and tell me how you liked this chapter!

Have a beautiful, wonderful day
