“Hey babe. I just wanted to inform you about something. Lately I’ve been kind of thinking that you don’t really seem okay with us being a couple. I mean I understand you not being ready to come out yet, but I didn’t think you wanting to keep us a secret would involve ignoring each other. What you did today was pretty shitty. If you have anything to say, say it xx.”

I wasn’t trying to be mean to her because obviously I’m In love with her but her response made me totally flip out.

“Yeah, I think it’d be better if we just stayed as strangers.”

Strangers??? Not even friends? I knew something was off but.. I didn’t think she would actually want to break up… I start crying. And I hate it when I cry. That’s why I put some music on and try to relax. I fell asleep. I wake up feeling like shit. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so shit before. I try to distract myself by getting ready for school.

At school

 I go and sit next to Ashley. Her gorgeous hazel eyes meet my own.

“Hey! You look tired, is everything alright?” She asks.

“Yeah just a late night.” I answer.

“How come?”

“Oh I just um.. My girlfriend broke up with me.” I say. Not even realizing that I came out to her. What if she thinks I’m gross now? What if she wants to stop talking to me? What if she’s homophobic??
