A lot has been going on with me recently, I figured out that I like girls more specifically I like Ivy I didn't know what to do with it I've been freaking out I haven't been texting her back I feel so bad but It just feels like I can't breathe, now I am sitting in front of my parents house debating whether or not I am gonna go in then all the sudden I distantly hear my phone ringing so I dig through my bag trying to find it finally finding it I yank it out of the tote and see that Audrey is calling me I pick up "Hey Addie" My voice breaks slightly I can hear shuffling coming from her side "What's wrong" Audrey is one of the two people who know about me liking Ivy I called her and Abby over when I first realized they were so happy and supportive it made me cry, "I'm outside my parent's house I'm about to tell them about me, I am just so nervous and I don't know there's so much going on because ivy keeps texting me and I feel terrible because I'm just ghosting her all of this is too much I like her so much already what if I get hurt- fuck I don't know what to do " she takes a deep breath which i do also "Gracie look your parents will love you no matter what but it's okay to be scared and with ghosting Ivy i think she would understand that this has been difficult for you but you need to communicate" I wipe my tears off my face "I will talk to her soon and I hope they take the news good" I can hear her smile through the phone "you got this I love you" I smile now too "okay I'm gonna go in now I love you too".

The front opens My mom looks surprised but she smiles a second later "Oh honey hey"

"Hey, Mom can I talk to you and Dad?" I rock back and forth on my heels "Of course come in" Dad walks in After I get in he hugs me

"Mom, Dad can we talk"

"Yeah let's go to the living room" We all sit down I nervously bite my nails

"what's wrong darling?" My mom puts her hand on my knee and my dad looks at me with a worried expression

"Um this is hard for me to tell you guys so give me a minute I figured out something not that long ago" I gulp "You remember my friend Ivy right" They both nod "I like her.. romantically" The silence is deafening I stare at my shoes being too scared to look them in the eyes I felt their hands intertwined with mine "sweetie that's great" when my mom said this tears almost pour out of my eyes before my dad wipes them I looked up and they are both smiling widely at me "we fully support you and love you, Gracie nothing changes that" I sniffle and go over to hug them "I love you guys so much" we continue the hug "we love you more than you know" at this point we were all sobbing when we finally stop crying and hugging they start asking questions

"Do you think Ivy likes you back?" my mom asks first

"I don't know but I do know she likes women so that's something I guess but I have kinda been ignoring her"

"Why?" my dad questions concerningly

"I figured out about me liking her I spiraled and stopped texting everyone including her She texted me so many times I laid in bed for days I even took an Am I gay test It was funny now that I look back it i was having a gay crisis" I try to distract them we all laugh for a second "how does she make you feel?" Mom asks I can feel myself smile
"At first it was all unknown why I had butterflies in my stomach every time she simply looked at me Then I put all the pieces together, She's the best person I know and after spending every day with her for two months and getting to know each other I know now that I want to be with her" I blush while explaining my feelings

"Are you sure Because I don't want you getting hurt again" her voice is stressed

"I feel secure and I really trust her mom" When I say this they smile true genuine smiles "I am so happy for you" Dad gets up and hugs me "She feels so right for me" My mom looked like she wanted to cry "i'm so glad you found someone so good for you" we hugged again before saying our goodbyes i get back out to my car and text Audrey.
