First Time Coming Out
Logan's POV
»Logie? «
»Yes, Litos? «
We lay in our shared bed and cuddled.
»I want to come out. I mean we are a couple for a few weeks now and I don't want to hide. I want that everybody knows that Logan Mitchell is mine. «
I blushed. I wasn't sure about coming out. I felt not ready yet.
'But it would bring also good aspects. We could cuddle all the time. And stuff…'
»Loge, what do you think? «
I realized I didn't say something for a couple of minutes.
»I don't know Carlos. I am afraid our parents will hate us. And how will our fans react? I don't want to end Big Time Rush yet. «
I stood up and looked out of the window. I imagined a world where my parents would hate me. A world where I had to live with out my family. My eyes were watering, but I fought the tears. Carlos hugged me from behind.
»You don't have to be afraid. I will be with you. No matter what will happen. «
»Promise? «, I asked sniffling.
»Promise. «
I turned around. Carlos smiled at me and his thumb wiped some tears from my face.
»Don't cry, Logie. Everything will be fine. «
After I calmed down I asked with a small voice:
»How about we tell Mama Knight at first? «
»Would that help you? «
I nodded.
»Then we tell Mama Knight. «
»N-now? «
Carlos gave me a sweet kiss and pulled me out of our room into the kitchen. Our two friends, Mama Knight and Katie were already up.
»Mama Knight, Katie. Logie and I have to tell you something. «
I was a mess. My whole body trembled and my breath sped up. Even the encouraging smiles of James and Kendall could calm me down. Carlos looked at me. HE saw the fear in my eyes and grabbed my hand.
»Logie and I are dating. «
A few moments everybody was silent. I feared the worst case scenario. But then Katie jumped up and shouted:
»YES! «
We looked curiously at her.
»I bet with Camille. She said you aren't a couple, I told her yes. And I won. «
She did a little victory dance.
»Oh and I am happy for you guys. «, she added.
I looked expectantly at Mama Knight. She stood up and hugged us.
»I am happy for you. And I support you «
»Really? «
She smiled at me and nodded.
»Yes. I am just surprised. That is all. You two are like sons to me. «
I smiled at her. Her words were really touching, because I knew even if my parents would not accept me, I still have a family.
~Coming Out~
»Logan…«
My head jerked up. During the last twenty minutes I played with my breakfast trying to vanish. Today mine and Carlos parents would visit. We decided to wait and tell them today. At first I was glad about that, because I had time to prepare myself, but I quickly realized I would have preferred the talk over the phone.
»Yes, Mama Knight? «
»Are you okay, honey? You barely touched your food. «
»Yeah. I am fine. «. I mumbled.
»You don't have to be afraid. Your parents will love you no matter what. «
»I hope so…«
Carlos hugged me tightly.
A few hours later I sat with Kendall in the living room watching TV. Mama Knight was out picking our parents up.
»Are you okay? «, Kendall asked.
»Yeah. I guess. Where is Carlos? «
»Doing Carlos-things with James. «
When I was about to ask him if he could get him the door opened.
»Logie! I missed you! «
My mom pulled me up and hugged me.
»I missed you, too mom. «
I looked at my dad and swallowed nervous.
»Hello, son. «
»H-hi dad. «
We shook hands. After I greeted Carlos parents his mom asked:
»Where is my mijo? «
I looked pleadingly at Kendall.
»I will get him. «
I mouthed 'Thank you'. He smiled at me and left. After a few minutes Kendall came back with Carlos and James.
»Mami! Papi! «
Carlos jumped at them and gave them a bear hug. Then they sat down and we talked for a little bit, but after an hour Carlos decided to start and suddenly I felt nauseous.
»Mami, Papi, Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell. Logan and I are a dating. For almost three months. «
I admired that Carlos was not afraid to say that. He was much more courageous than me. Our moms smiled warmly at us. Mr. Garcia looked shocked and my dad looked furious. He pointed at Carlos.
»You filthy little fag! You turned my son gay! «
He jumped up.
»Dad, don't hurt him. «
That was supposed to sound self-confident and courageous, but it came out as a whimper. My dad slapped me.
»Don't you dare to talk like that! I will fucking kill that bastard and than you will come back to Minnesota and I will beat the gay out of you. «
Mr. Garcia held him down and dragged him out. Carlos looked at me concerned.
»Are you okay, Logie? «
I held my cheek and was about to say yes, but when I opened my mouth I started to cry. My boyfriend hugged me and I buried my face in the crook of his neck. He tried to sooth me down. From the hallway I heard my mom yelling at my father. After I calmed down I looked at Carlos. He kissed the remaining tears from my face.
»Awwww. «
I looked up and blushed. My mom and Carlos mom looked at us and smiled. Mom hugged me.
»I am sorry, Logie. «
»It is not your fault. «
»We will have a divorce. «
I looked shocked at her.
»What? Do you think I would support his stupidity? «
»I don't want to ruin your life…«
»Logan, you are the best thing that happened in my life. «
I smiled and hugged her. Then I was pulled into a hug from Mrs. Garcia.
»You are cute together. «
»Thanks. «
»You better treat my son, right. «, Mr. Garcia said.
I swallowed nervously.
»I will…«
»Dad! Don't scare him! «
Mr. Garcia chuckled.
»Don't worry Logan. I approve. «
~Coming Out~
One week later we walked through Rocque Records. We wanted to tell Gustavo and Kelly. Since the whole incident with my father I was pretty upset. I cried myself into sleep and had constantly nightmares. But fortunately Carlos was perfect. He never got annoyed; he always was there for me, calming me down.
»DOGS! BOOTH! NOW! «
»Gustavo, we have to tell you something. «, Carlos said.
»WHAT?! «
»Logan and I are dating «
Kelly squealed excited and Gustavo laughed. But after he saw our serious looks he stopped.
»That's not a joke? «
I shook my head. Kelly hugged us.
»You guys are adorable. «
»Thanks Kelly. «
I looked at Gustavo. I was always afraid of him, but after the dad-incident I was even more terrified. Kelly elbowed him.
»I will support you. «
»Thank you Gustavo. «
»Do you want to come out? «, Kelly asked.
»We don't want to affect the band negatively. «, I said.
She smiled.
»You won't. The most teenager girls love gay couples. And we would get the whole gay community. «
»Well, let's go public. «, I said.
Carlos looked shocked.
»Are you sure? I mean I am fine with that, but I thought you would need more time…«
»I think after my father's reaction it can't get worse. And I have you. «
~Coming Out~
»Let's welcome one of the most popular bands. Here is Big Time Rush! «, Ellen announced.
We decided to go to her for our coming out and for promoting our new album. The audience cheered and applauded. After we sat down and the crowd was calm again Ellen asked:
»I heard you guys want to share some big news with us? «
Kendall, James and Carlos looked expectantly at me. My boyfriend forced me to promise that I tell them. Carlos elbowed me.
»Uh- C-Carlos and I a-are d-dating. «
The audience gasped and even Ellen looked genuinely surprised.
»For four months now! «, Carlos said proudly.
»Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! «, the audience chanted.
Our host smiled.
»I think they don't believe you. «
I blushed, when Carlos pulled me into a passionate kiss. The audience cheered. I broke the kiss and smiled at my boyfriend.
»And now we want details! «, Ellen said.
»We don't want to share everything from our relationship. We want to keep our privacy. «, Carlos said.
»And we don't think it would be fair for Kendall and James if we talk the whole time about us. «, I added.
»Aww. That is sweet. How about four questions? And then we will speak about your new album. «
We nodded.
»Kendall, James. What do you think about their relationship? «
»We support them no matter what. They are our best friends. And cute as a couple. «, James said.
»As long as they are happy we are happy. «, Kendall added.
»I see you guys are great friends. How did your parents react? «
Suddenly I felt sad.
»Well, my parents were completely fine with us, but…«, Carlos trailed off.
»My father threatened to kill Carlos and 'beat the gay out of me' «, I said with a monotone voice.
The people whispered outraged and Ellen looked angry.
»I am sorry to hear that. «
»I have Carlos family and my mother. «
»We all need people who support us. What are your plans for the future? «
That was a question I asked myself several times.
»We didn't speak about that. I mean we are only seventeen. «, Carlos said.
»But so much is certain Carlos wont get rid of me. «
He kissed my cheek.
»God. You guys are so cute! «
»Thank you, Ellen. «
»And the last question: Do you think your relationship will affect your career? «
»We hope not. We will continue to make music and we hope our fans will support us. «, Carlos replied.
Ellen turned towards the audience.
»Do the guys have to worry? «
The people went nuts and shouted:
»No! « And »We love BTR! «
Ellen laughed.
»I think your fans will stay with you. Let's talk about your album. «
While we continued with the interview, I thought about how lucky I am with my mostly supportive family, Carlos family and friends. Not to mention our wonderful fans. And Carlos the best boyfriend in the world.
In the next chapter we will see them saying I love you.
Let me know what you think. Please review.
