Annie POV
I am going to tell her. I promised myself I would do it this week. I have to tell her, I know that. I have to, she'll find out eventually.
I broke it off with my boyfriend a few months ago. Mom doesn't know that. I wasn't doing to because I didn't like him, he's nice, but I discovered I couldn't be with him.
My phone rings, and I pick it up.
"Hey, Annie!" It's Layla, my…girlfriend.
"Hey, Layla." I answer.
"You doing anything tonight? We could go out for dinner, if you want. It's my payday."
I smile, "Yeah, sure."
"I'll pick you up at 6." She says, "Love you."
"Love you." I answer.
I put the phone down and sit on my bed. I have to tell my mom. I'm nervous. Layla came out to her parents a year ago, before we met, at school, and they kicked her out of the house.
She's living with her brother and his wife now, helping with their 3 kids.
"You can do this Annie." I whisper to myself, "Remember, Layla's brother says you can stay with them if Mom…"
I bite my lip. If my mother rejected me, I would just about die.
I walk down the stairs. Mom is watching the TV.
"Hey, Mom." I say.
She looks up and smiles at me, "Hi."
"Mom, I have to tell you something."
"Yeah?"
I sit next to her on the sofa.
"What's up, Annie?" she asks.
"Mom, I'm gay." And that's it. It just came out. I just came out.
Her facial expression hasn't changed.
"You were polite when you broke up with your boyfriend, right?" she questions.
I nod. She smiles at me.
"Okay, then."
I smile back, happy that she took it so well.
"I'm going out tonight." She tells me, "Is that okay with you?"
"Yeah. I'm going out too, with Layla, my girlfriend."
Mom nods, "Cool. I'll try to be back by the time your back."
I grin at her, then stand and go to my room. I grab my phone and dial Layla's number.
"Hi!" she answers brightly.
"I told my mom."
"And?"
"She was completely fine with it!"
"Great!" Layla squeals, "That's awesome! See you tonight!"
"See you!" I hand up and smile to myself.
Diana POV
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't surprised by Annie's news, but I honestly don't care whether she likes boys or girls, as long as she's okay.
I'm going out with Susan tonight, and apparently Annie's going out with a girlfriend too, although a different kind.
We leave at 7, and hour after Annie is picked up. We have fun and drinks all night, and after we part on the way home, I come across Caine, for some strange reason.
"Diana." He calls to me.
"Hello, Caine." I answer.
He grabs my arm, which surprises me. I also start to get a little scared. It's late at night and nobody's around. I mentally kick myself. I am not going to be raped by my ex.
"You look hot." He tells me.
"I'm not your girlfriend, Caine." I remind him.
"You're not? Oh, well." He moves closer.
"Are you drunk?" I demand.
"You sure you're not my girlfriend?" he asks, laughing, and confirming that he is, indeed, drunk.
"Go away, Caine." I order.
"No." he says.
"Caine!" I cry, "Get lost!"
He leans over me, and kisses my lips. For a moment, I kiss him back, and it feels like the old days, when we both went to Coates, and made out, ignoring Drake's annoying protests.
Then I push him back and glare at him.
"Caine! I'm not your girlfriend-Cara is! Go make out with her!"
To emphasize my point, I kick him where it hurts most, and stalk off.
Annie POV
We decided that, because school isn't on tomorrow, Layla would stay for a sleepover. When Mom comes in, we're sitting on the sofa, watching both of our nerdy guilty pleasures: Doctor Who.
I jump when she opens the door.
"Hey, Ann." She grins at us, "Is this your girlfriend?"
I nod, "This is Layla. Layla, this is my mom."
"Hi, Mrs…Um."
"Diana." Mom smiles at her.
"Diana." Layla repeats.
"What are you guys watching?" she asks.
"Doctor Who." I tell her.
"Oh, budge up!" she says, kicking her shoes off at the door and joining us on the sofa.
We watch the rest of the programme, and Layla and I go up to my room, along with a bottle of coke and some chocolate.
