Though I'm weak
___

Me and Josh laid down and stared at the ceiling of the treehouse. It was cloudy, but it wasn't cold or anything. It was the perfect temperature.

"Tyler, can I tell you a secret?" Josh asked me quietly.

"Of course." I answered turning my head to look at his.

"I'm... Um.." He blushed covering his eyes with his hands.

"Go ahead. I won't judge." I said assuring him.

"I'm gay." He said. He was blushing and his cheeks were almost as red as his hair.

He's gay. And I'm okay with that.

"Ok? And? Why is that a secret?" I asked.

He contemplated leaving, because he sat up and was reaching for the latch on the floor.

But then he hesitated.

"Because... I like you. A lot." And then he opened the latch and climbed down the latter.

I wasn't the only one that felt like that.

I knew that even though we were weak, we could survive this game called life together. We can defeat fear with love.
