Disclaimer: I only wish that I owned. Belongs to Jonathan Larson
Notes: This might be confusing but I have marked where I move from first person to third person. It was confusing to try and write everything in first person and I’m not to great at it, sorry.
“You’re a lesbian?” Mr. Jefferson questioned, looking slightly stunned at this moment. He hadn’t excepted that to come out of his little girls mouth. He looked at her, seeing her avoiding eye contact.
That awkward silence set in among the three. That one that you never want to have set in. In this case, at least for Joanne, she knew she was either in trouble or was close to getting kicked out. She could only hope that it was the first and not the second. She wasn’t sure her parent’s opinion of the gay/lesbian subject.
“I think it’s time you left the table, Joanne.” Mrs. Jefferson stated, not at all happy with this sudden news.
“But…” She just sighed, getting up, heading up to her room, looking at her father as she passed him, hoping he would come up and talk to me, more important remember my question from earlier.
[Joanne POV]
I felt tears stinging my eyes. I was being banished to my room for being a lesbian, for liking the same sex. I knew my mother was responsible for Alyssa’s sudden departure from my life. I sat on my bed, huddled under my blanket, unable to stop my tears from falling. I had no idea what time it was, figuring they were downstairs arguing about me.
“Kitten.” Came my father’s voice, having not heard my door open or his usual steps upstairs.
“Yes?” I asked, my voice shaking, which only forced me to bit down on my lip, wondering what was going to come. I sat up and looked at him, watching as he closed the door. “D-do you hate me?” I questioned, afraid of his answer.
“No, not at all.” He replied, coming to sit down next to me, wrapping me in an embrace.
“You’re not just saying that?” I questioned, looking at him.
He smirked, shaking his head, “I’m not just saying that. I’m not doing to lie; I was surprised to hear that. I didn’t think my only little girl would turn out to be a lesbian.” He stated, placing a kiss on my forehead.
I could only sigh, nodding, “I know but mom is mad. She probably hates me now.” I mumbled, letting my gaze drop.
“No, she doesn’t. I’ll deal with your mother but it would be best if this wasn’t brought up around her until she gets used to this, if she ever does.” He told him, giving me a hug, “Get some sleep.” He added, getting up only to pull the blankets around me.
“Okay, night. Love you.” I whispered.
“Love you too, kitten.” He said, leaving the room, closing my door.
I sighed once more, pulling my blanket tight around me, sleep not coming easy, my mind seeming to busy to even relax. I didn’t want to school anymore. Not without Alyssa there but I think I could manage. I knew I would have to avoid my mother from now on, just not wanting her to question me.
-Fin.
