To give some backstory [because I haven't posted in a few days], here's what's gone down.
She [the Watermelon - I'm sure you know who I'm referring to by now] broke up with her boyfriend. Then, she told me to 'jump in the water', which is a metaphor we've been using recently that is really hard to explain. I, of course, being inexperienced, naive, and self conscious, didn't want to sound like a retard or do something that would fuck it up. I wanted to do it right. So I chickened out [more like succumbed to the sick butterflies in my stomach who were telling me to shut my trap or I'd puke].
The next morning, I asked her. Now, picture this - a crowded high school hallway, with two girls in the very middle of it. One is about to take a huge step, the other is about to shatter it all. The nervous one [which is me, in case it's not obvious] is insecure about almost everything in the situation, mostly the idea of asking another girl a question like this in a crowded place when she's scared shitless of her own sexuality.
In the end, she just takes a deep breath and asks. [My exact words were
do you want to be together?, by the way.]
And the other just... says no. Well, not yet. Which is a no.
Then the insecure, inexperienced, nervous one is handed a 1225 [or something like that] fanfic, written by the other. And what she reads later absolutely shatters her. She knows how much she's royally fucked it all up, how selfish a bitch she is, and how much she really, truly deserves to die.
But as soon as she voiced that, she's... yelled at again.
Fast forward about a day [I was on a school trip so it was uneventful]. Talking on MSN to the girl who has incidentally become a messenger between the other two. The girl - the one with the now shattered heart, so to speak - is having a breakdown. The only reason she hasn't killed herself is indecisiveness - pills, razors, or a belt around the neck? Which music to be a deathly lullaby, as such?
An argument flares up and things are said that shouldn't be.
Another breakdown ensues, and right now suicide seems oh so painless compared to living.
This morning, I woke up and decided I needed to get help. Professional help. [Then I went back to sleep because it was quite early, but that is irrelevant.]
This morning, I came out to my parents. My dad was alright, but my mum walked out and wouldn't talk to me when I left for work. She sent me a text saying she doesn't hate me, and brought me a drink over before she went to work herself. I've specifically asked her not to tell my grandmother, people she works with, or anyone else for that matter.
I'm getting my head sorted out, then the world can find out I'm not straight.
