Chapter 40

A/N I probably would have got this up yesterday except I went to the annual country music festival that we have where I live, I saw Luke Bryan. Anyway I know it's been a little while since I updated so I hope you enjoy this, be prepared to be surprised.


Luke's point of view

It had been several months since my parents found out what had been bothering me, I was pretty sure they suspected the truth about me, but I wasn't ready to confirm it yet. There was one person I'd told not too long ago though and that person was Silena. We'd gotten pretty close since we first met when we were twelve and although I hadn't been planning on telling her yet she'd basically cornered me and told me a secret of her own that showed she could kind of relate to what I was feeling even if it was only a little.

I'd tried to avoid the subject but she'd started talking and hadn't given me much choice but to listen and reply when it became necessary. After I'd given in and decided to listen to what she had to say she said, "Luke I know I can't relate to what you've gone through, and I'm sure what the bullies said has left you thinking that there's something wrong with you, but there isn't."

Even then I still hadn't gotten everything the bullies had said out of my head and I started to protest. I said, "No, my mom, Dad, You, you're all normal, I'm a freak,"

That was just one of the many words the bullies had used to describe me. Their words had wormed their way so deeply into my mind that I didn't think I could ever get them out. She said, well if you're a freak I guess I am too because despite what you think I'm not entirely normal either,"

I was confused now, she obviously couldn't be a lesbian since she had a boyfriend and as far as I knew she seemed to be happy with him. After that thought went through my mind though I realized what she might mean. Uncertain about if I was right I asked her, "Are you bisexual?"

When I asked that question I noticed she was fiddling with her hair and I remembered that was something she usually does when she's nervous. Her only response to my question was a nod confirming that I was right. I was stunned. I'd never had any idea that she was bisexual, I'd never noticed her checking out girls or anything like that but then again I never wanted it to be obvious when I was eyeing other guys either.

That was when another question occurred to me, I asked, "Am I the first person you've told?"

This time she replied with words answering, "No, I told my mom first, she helped me come to terms with it. Since then I've told Ezra, and I'm planning on telling dad soon. Maybe I should have told dad sooner but I couldn't bring myself to do it and I only told Ezra a couple days ago,"

My own problems partially forgotten for the moment I asked, "How did he react?"

She replied, "He was shocked but he's okay with it, after all, it doesn't change how I feel about him and it doesn't seem to have changed his mind about me. It basically just means that if for some reason my relationship with him doesn't work out I have a few more options available," she chuckled halfheartedly as she finished that statement, but then she must have reconsidered it since she said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with him and we've been together for seven months now, I don't want us to break up...

Chuckling slightly myself now I interrupted her attempt to fix what she'd said and replied, "Yeah I get it Sis,"

Unfortunately though, my slight amusement faded quickly as she refocused the conversation on me.

She said, "Luke I know it might be hard for you to believe it right now but there's nothing wrong with being gay, and since you made it obvious to me earlier I know for sure that you are. I'm pretty sure Dad won't care that you're a little different, and I'm guessing your mom will have the same opinion. I realize that you're not going to reverse what has been done to you in five seconds but just try and realise that those bullies were just doing what all bullies do, taking their own pain out on someone else,"

I nodded and Silena left me alone after that. I'd had no idea that she was bi and I was still kind of stunned by that fact, but seeing her so comfortable with who she was might have helped me, even if it was only a little bit. I was also kind of surprised that I was one of the first people she'd told, but I guess she did it to try and help me see that there's nothing wrong with being different so I'd accept the fact that I'm gay. I knew I wasn't ready to accept it just yet, but maybe talking to her had helped a little.


Silena's Point of view

Ezra and I had gone to a movie. Now we were just waiting to get picked up. Our date had gone well so I guess that's why something had to come and interrupt us now. It was just our luck that a few dracnae decided to make an appearance.

Annoyed that our time together had been interupted we pulled out our bows. I'm a decent archer, not as good as Ezra and his siblings but still I can hit my target and that's all that's really necessary.

Although we hadn't realised it my dad had also pulled into the parking lot. He'd come to pick me up but once he saw the monsters he came to help us. Technically we probably could have beaten them all without him since they were still far enough away that we could use our bows, but with his help we defeated them pretty quickly.

Once we did we left the theater, dad and I went home and Ezra went back to camp. I was glad Ezra had still accepted me after I admitted I was bisexual, I knew that I would admit the truth about myself to my dad soon, but I hadn't quite decided when yet. I'm sure he'll be okay with it too since I know how much he cares about me but I still can't help but be nervous.

We are going to visit my grandmother tomorrow night since she'd invited us over for dinner so I might just tell all of them then, after all I was pretty sure that my grandmother and step grandfather care about me just as much as my dad does so they will probably accept me too. My guess is that they will probably just be shocked at first since there really wasn't any way they courld have figured it out on their own, especially since I'm with Ezra so they probably just assumed I'm straight.

It had been a while since I first told my mom, she'd helped me come to terms with it and accept what I am. She also admitted that most of the gods including herself are also bisexual. I talked to her about it more than once and over time I did accept the fact that I'm a little different. I remembered one day at school before Ezra and I got together I'd cought myself eyeing another girl. My friends had noticed but they thought I was looking at a guy who was sitting near the girl. That wasn't when I'd realized I was bisexual, but it still wasn't that long after I had. Now that I felt I was ready to tell my dad and the rest of my family I was still kind of nervous and that didn't change as the next day went by normally.

After we all went to my Grandparent's though I think my nervousness was beginning to show.

I was pretty sure they would accept me but I still couldn't help but be nervous, I couldn't help but think, what if I'm wrong? what if they don't accept me? whenever those thoughts occurred to me I would quickly shove them aside not wanting to think about them. I wasn't going to chicken out now, my family deserved to know the truth about me and I probably should have told them before now. During dinner I knew I was fidgeting, probably more than usual, but I waited until we had finished eating before I said anything.

Luke was also there since Dad had picked him up earlier, and due to my fidgeting I think he suspected what I was planning to do. After all I had already told him the truth and said that I was planning on telling everyone else soon. During dinner we'd just talked about unimportant things, but now that was over and I was sitting silently trying to find the courage to say what I wanted to.

I looked at my family trying to reassure myself that they would accept me no matter what, trying to find the certainty that I'd had when I told Luke the truth. Finally I managed to look at thhem and said, "There's something I want to tell you,"

Now I had their attention so I hesitated for a moment before I finally just spit it out before I lost my nerve, saying, "I'm bisexual,"

Like I hoped they seemed surprised but other than that they seemed fine with it. It was obvious that they'd had no idea and had probably just assummed I was straight, especially after I started dating Ezra. My dad might have even looked slightly relieved although I wasn't really sure why.

After what I'd said sunk in they all made it obvious that they would care about me no matter what. I was relieved that they had. It was nice to finally not have to worry about keeping the truth about me a secret, and know that they didn't care that I was different and would treat me the same way that they always had. I knew they all cared about me a lot, so it was nice to know that hadn't changed now that they knew the truth about me.

I knew it might still be a while before Luke would find the courage to come out, after all he was still recovering from what the bullies at his school had done to him and even though I'd tried to help him I wasn't sure how much it had worked. I hoped he would eventually realise that there was nothing wrong with being gay, and now that my dad and grandparents had accepted me I hoped that would help him realise that they would accept him too.
