Dylan's Coming Out
DYLAN (Narrating): It was two days after my lover had died, after he had took his own life that I decided to pluck up the courage to come out to my parents, my very strict Catholic parents. My lover had been homophobically attacked on his way home from school, gaybashed is what the media called it, my beloved Sean beaten black and blue and belittled by jocks from the other local high school calling him all sorts of nasty shit like faggot, abomination, freak, pervert or so they tell me, he went home that very night, tied up his bedsheets and hung himself from his bedroom window leaving himself hanging for all to see. His parents found him, they were broken, they knew of our relationship and they informed me of his suicide. I was distraught, they were distraught. Within a day the rumours were all over Facebook, more vile comments passed his way even though he was dead. I couldn't handle it so I deactivated my Facebook account. Me and both my parents attended the funeral as Sean had only lived over the street. It was hard to hold in my emotions, I was too scared of showing dad how truly upset I was, I thought he might have figured it out so as they lay my lovers body in the ground I had to keep a straight face whilst a gargantuan reservoir of emotions were welling up inside me, tearing my soul and heart apart. When I finally got home, I ran up to my room and laid face down in my pillow and let it all out. I cried all night for him wishing he was in my arms comforted in his warm hard embrace, an embrace I would never ever feel again and thinking on that was enough to set the tears off again. I would never be able to kiss him, embrace him or look into his gorgeous sparkling green eyes...gone forever..but his memory will live in my heart until the day I die.

BILL: Come on down these stairs now!

GABRIELLE: Please dear, give the boy a break he has just lost his best friend.

BILL: Did you not hear me boy!?
