Today Sophia and I are doing an interview for YouTube talking about our coming out stories and how we became a couple, we walk into the room and we sit down next to each other on a sofa.
"Hello and welcome to our two guests Hannah Hart and Sophia Margaritelli thanks for talking to us" the host Josh says.
"That's ok thanks for having us" we tell him, he asks Sophia about her coming out story. I take her hand so she knows that I am to support her since she doesn't like to talk about it, she looks at me and smiles gratefully.
"I was 16 when I came out I loved my mum and dad with everything inside of me they were my heroes, I sat them down and I told them that I was gay my mum looked like she was going to cry and my dad just looked so angry. This scar on my neck is from that night they kicked me out but before I left I told them what I thought of them and my dad snapped he threw his glass at me which resulted in this scar, I moved in with my best friend and her family became mine I haven't seen or spoken to my parents since that night." Sophia finishes her story and I can see that tears are in her eyes as she keeps tracing the scar, I gently take her hand away from the scar and hold it in my lap knowing that Sophia only traces her scar when she is having flashbacks. I talk about my coming out story and then we play a game called the girlfriend tag.
"Where did you first meet?" Josh asks.
"We met at an improv class 3 years ago and that was when she introduced me to Grace and Mamrie" Sophia says.
"What part of Hannah's body you love the most?"
"I love her eyes there's something so calming about looking into her eyes" Sophia says looking at me.
"what about you Hannah?" Josh asks me.
"I love her arms, they are really strong and I love being held in them where I know I am safe and loved oh and her goofy grin" I say to the host, Sophia chuckles and wraps me up in a hug we may be playing around but I instantly feel safety and love wash over me as Sophia holds me.
"That's great thank you two for coming in and doing this interview" we bid farewell and Sophia and I make our way to my car. When we sit in the car I can see that Sophia is touching her scar again.
"Are you having flashbacks again?" I ask her as I retake her hand; she looks at me and nods sadly.
"It's like I can feel the glass in my neck" she says as she chuckles nervously, I make her look at me and when she does I can see the fear in her eyes.
" Hey don't worry I'm here and I won't let you get hurt again I promise" I tell her as I look into her eyes, she smiles and presses a passionate kiss onto my lips It's times like these that I feel so lucky to have a girlfriend like Sophia.
