It's been two weeks since I've been out of the hospital, and I was allowed to use my laptop again. I was playing a computer game in my room while Stephanie was doing a show, and truth be told, I was bored. Like really bored.

"What's this?" I asked, stumbling upon a website called Wattpad. I smiled and looked through it a bit, then decided to make myself an account.

I decided to make my account a Falsettos-fangirl heaven. My entire account was Falsettos-themed. Even the username, which was "thebisexualnextdoor."

Even in my first hour of joining Wattpad, I made a lot of friends. There was this girl named Emmy who's favorite musical was Heathers but also loved Falsettos as well. (She also has a serious addiction to the Try Guys, I decided to watch a few of their videos and oh my God they're hilarious) There was this kid named Angel who loved Falsettos way more than the average person. There was this girl named Lex who was...pure chaos. There was Bee, who was Emmy's best friend and exposed her evilness to me. And there were a few others too.

I found a few fanfics about kids who were adopted by Broadway casts, just like me. I smiled as I read them, realizing that these fictional kids went through some of the same things I did. And possibly more. (Emmy, you're an evil writer.) And then I decided to write my own Adopted by Falsettos. Because I really wanted a little sister.

And then it hit me. The username. If Stephanie or anyone found this account, I would get outed to them right away.

"Josie! I'm home!" I heard Stephanie call. I looked over at my alarm clock and realized that I should've been in bed by now. "Hi Mama! Just getting ready for bed!"

"Okay, sweetie, good night!"

"Night, Mommy!"

Stephanie's POV

"What's so funny?" I asked Brandon as he was laughing loudly at his laptop. He kept cackling and I was utterly confused and slightly terrified.

"Come here, just...come here." Brandon said. "I think Josie has a Wattpad account."

I looked over Brandon's shoulder and laughed out loud. "How did you find this?" Brandon giggled and said, "Someone tweeted an Adopted by Falsettos fanfiction to me and out of curiosity, I read it. And then I realized that the author's screen name was Josie and then realized...this is our Josie."

"Let me see." I said, taking the laptop from Brandon and scrolling through the account. "Awww, it's actually kind of cute! Look at Josie being a little writer."

"Her fanfiction is really well-written, I'm impressed." Brandon replied. I looked at her bio and laughed out loud. "Brandon, look! Her bio!"

"Read it to me." Brandon said.

"Wait, what's going on?" Betsy said, walking up to us. I controlled my laughter and said, "Josie got a Wattpad account and Brandon stumbled upon it and her bio is hilariously adorable. Listen. 'Hi! I'm Josie! She/they pronouns, please! I'm a bisexual mess who's obsessed with Falsettos but I'm open to listening to other musicals, too! Obsessed with Stephanie J. Block. Cello player, dancer, and lover of any type of pasta. I love school, yet hate going to school, yes we exist. Go follow my friends! @chaoticgeek, MichaelMellsBathroom , @Cabbage_of_Hell, nothing_in_between_ ! Go check out my joint account! False_Heteros_Cursed . DMs open, love you all!'"

"I'm sorry, what was that joint account username she told us to follow?" Brandon asked. I clicked on it and was brought to a page with Andrew's face gloriously gracing the account banner and four books. "Marvin x Duolingo Owl, Trina x Peppa Pig, Cordelia x Cordelia? What is this?"

"Look at the bio...what is Mendel x Spork and why is it so traumatic?" Brandon said.

"I just read Cordelia x Cordelia...why does Mendel die three times?" Betsy asked.

"Beats me, why does Mendel get locked in a dungeon in Marvin x Duolingo Owl?"

Anthony, Andrew, Christian, and Tracie walked in and they looked over my shoulder and also started laughing.

"Why does the main character of Adopted by Falsettos get in 5 different car crashes within the span of two weeks?" I asked. "Oh. Josie's author's note. 'Thanks to my friend Emmy for encouraging me to do this after she put Catlynn in the hospital for the fifty-fourth time?'"

We kept laughing and reading fanfiction until we heard a high-pitched screaming.

"NO YOU GUYS WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO SEE THAT!" I heard, and Josie ran over and snatched Brandon's computer out of his hands and tried to close the tab. Brandon kept cackling and saying, "Haha, Josie, you can't get me!"

"Brandon, stop." I mouthed. Brandon kept play-fighting with Josie and didn't hear me. Josie was full-on sobbing by this point until I screamed, "BRANDON, STOP! SHE'S NOT JOKING!"

Brandon gasped and let go of the computer and closed the tab. Josie ran off, sobbing, and then Andrew said, "I'll go check on her."

"Wait...Andrew, before you do that. Come here, I think I know why Josie didn't want us looking at her account."

"Cause she's writing fanfiction about us?" Tracie asked.

"No. Look. Her username is thebisexualnextdoor..." Brandon said. "And her bio says 'she/they pronouns please.' I don't think she intended for any of us to find that out that quickly. Now I feel bad for looking at it."

Andrew cleared his throat and said, "Guys, refresh the page." Brandon did and then read something heartbreaking out loud to us.

"'Great. My entire family found my account and now I'm outed to my parents, aunts, uncles, and my brother. This is amazing/s. If you need me, I'm gonna be sobbing in my bedroom and waiting for my mom to kick me out. Love you all, gonna be deleting this account now. ~Jay.'"

Then Wattpad crashed and Brandon refreshed the page. Josie's account was gone.

"I feel like this is my fault." Brandon said. I got up and said, "I'll go check on her and make sure she's okay."

"Josie? Can I talk to you?" I asked her. Josie was hiding in a corner and I could hear her sobbing and hyperventilating.

"No." Josie said softly.

"Josie, please." I said. I walked over to her and sat her in my lap. "Go away, I'm a disgrace of a daughter."

"Josephine Trina Block, don't you dare say that."

"I don't deserve your last name."

"Josie-"

"SHUT UP, STEPHANIE!" Josie screamed, running off. I followed her and knelt down next to her, putting my hand on her shoulder.

"Hey, are you afraid I won't love you anymore?" I asked. Josie nodded softly and I pulled her into my lap, kissing her soft red curls. "I'm sorry I told you to shut up, Mama..." Josie said softly.

"It's okay, baby girl. I know you didn't expect us to find out. But I want to let you know that we all accept and love you for who you are, Josie." I said.

"You can't speak for everyone." Josie said.

"You're right, I can't. So how about when you calm down, you can go tell them yourself? Have a proper coming out?" I asked. Josie nodded slowly and her cries slightly subsided.

I smiled, getting an idea. I slowly rubbed Josie's back and started singing softly to her. Josie leaned her head on my chest and in the middle of the song, I couldn't hear crying anymore. I looked down at Josie, not breaking song, and realized she had fallen asleep in my lap.

I kissed Josie's curls and whispered, "I love you, baby girl."

Andrew walked in and said, "Everything good?" I shushed him and pointed to the sleeping Josie in my lap. Andrew backed away as I put Josie down on the couch. "I got an idea." he said.

Josie's POV

I woke up with something on top of me. I rubbed my eyes and realized I was wrapped in a bisexual pride flag.

"Mama?" I called out, and Stephanie walked over to me. "Oh, Josie! You're awake! And I see you saw our little surprise."

"Yeah, thanks." I said. Stephanie knelt down next to me and said, "You want to go tell the others?" I nodded and stood up, holding my mom's hand.

"Guys, I think Josie has something she wants to tell you all." Stephanie said. "Josie, take it away."

"Um...so...um...I...uh..." I stammered. Stephanie whispered, "Take your time, sweetie."

"Um...I'm...a...um...bisexual...and I...uh...I'm just gonna get this over with. I'm a bisexual with a heavy lean to girls and uh...I've been questioning my gender a bit over the last few weeks and I wanna use the label genderqueer for a bit..." I said softly.

There was dead silence before Brandon crushed me in a hug, followed by everyone else.

"What are you doing? Guys! Come on, I need to breathe!" I said, laughing. Andrew ran off for a second and then came back throwing my pride flag on me. I was being attacked with hugs and kisses and eternal love. I haven't felt this kind of affection in so long.

"We love you, Josie!" Anthony screamed, hugging the life out of me.

"We love you, Josie!" the rest of the cast followed.

"Okay, now on to the big question. Do you have a crush?" Betsy said.

"Kinda?" I said.

"OOOOOOOOOOH!" Andrew and Christian said at the same time.

"SHUT UP!"

AN: This was a long chapter, and I did not expect it to turn so angsty. Seriously, Josie joining Wattpad was supposed to be all fluff. And I'm sorry for that. Hope you enjoyed and catch ya later! Love you all!
