I'm not all that sure why I called Avery, when Brittany was my best friend. It didn't matter anymore when Avery's convertable pulled into my driveway and she walked into my house, with out knocking. She burst into my room and plopped down in my desk chair and started texting her current boyfriend. "So what's up?" she asked with out even looking up.
"Well..." I didn't know how to say it. I wasn't even sure iIcould believe it had happened. What if it didn't, and I told Avery. She could freak out about it and send a mass text to the whole school, totally ruining Blaine's life.
"Either spit it out, or I'm leaving"
"Uggghhhh, fine. Blaine just told me he was gay." I nearly whispered, hugging my pillow close to my chest. Avery looked up and stared at me. I thought for sure she was going to freak out, but then she just rolled her eyes and started spinning in the chair "Duh, everyone knows that"
"what? You do?"
"Of course. I mean isn't it obvious?"
"I don't know..."
She started laughing so hard she almsot fell out of the chair "Your two best friends are gay, how could you not know that?"
My eyes widened and I felt my mouth drop. "B-Brittany is a... lesbian?"
"Of course! God Ashlyn, you are soooooo clueless!"
"How could I know? I've never known anyone gay before... I'm not sure how I feel about gays. I mean the bible says it's a sin, but my step dad always says 'Love is love, no matter what form it comes in' I'm just not sure what to think or feel..."
She stopped spinning and leaned forward, resting her elbows on her knees. "Well think about this; How did you feel about them before you knew? You said they were your best friends. You liked them for who they were. Knowing that they play for another team isn't going to change them. So why does it make a difference if Brittany likes girls and Blaine likes guys? They're still your best friends."
I stayed quiet, taking Avery's words in. I knew she was right, it shouldn't make a difference, but for some reason I couldn't come to terms with it. I felt terrible for running off on Blaine, he probably feels worse than me now though... "Please don't tell Brittany anything. I need to decide how I feel before I tell her anything."
Avery froze and looked at me kind of regretfully "shit... I just texted her."
"What! What did you say?" I jumped off my bed and snatched her phone out of her hands. I quickly opened Brittany and her conversation.
Ashlyn just found out u and Blaine r gay. still hasnt decided how she feels bout that :/ im leaning more towards homophobic
id avoid her if i were you.

"Dammit! Avery, what were you thinking? Text her back and tell her-"
"Tell her what? That your good for gay? I thought you didn't know yet. Yeah, I admitt that I could have worded that better, but I said what mas mostly true. I think it's best you guys stay away from each other until you can figure out what's going on in your head." she sighed, grabbed her phone and walked out. I heard the front door slam shut a few seconds later.
Now I understood why I called her. Even though Avery was a bitch most of the time, she gave really good advice and was understanding. This only made me more confused, though.
