"Today is a winding road,

Tell me where to start

And tell me something I don't know.

Woah."

Roxas wants to tell your friends.

Just your friends, he pushes. Not parents. Not teachers. Not classmates. Just friends.

You think it will get out if you tell anyone, and you don't want this out there. You're not ready to come out. You realize for the first time that that's what you would be doing – coming out. Because you're gay. You've never really thought of yourself as being gay; you've never really thought of yourself as being anything. All you're sure of is that you like Roxas. That can't be wrong.

You finally give in, and you and Roxas tell your mutual best friend Demyx first.

"That's great!" Demyx says. "You'll be soo cute together."

You think maybe this won't be so bad. So you and Roxas tell your other friends. Pence, Olette, Hayner, Marluxia – They're all ok with it.

You think maybe this won't be bad at all.

Until Roxas has to tell her.

"Today, I'm on my own,

I can't move a muscle

And I can't pick up the phone.

I don't know."
