Nilbog Island, Wednesday
Billy's Sister Jeanie was visiting for a few weeks before starting High School. She'd been looking very pensive the entire visit, and Billy thought it might be due to fearing being a freshman.
Then tonight, she finally said what was bothering her.
"Billy, I...maybe it's too early to tell, I mean, I'm only 14. But...I think I might be gay."
Billy sat silently for a moment, then frowned. "Well that's not fair. Now how am I supposed to be an over-protective brother without coming across as a misogynist?"
Jeanie laughed. "I was hoping that'd be the only problem you had." Then she sobered. "How do you think Mom and Dad will react?"
Billy thought a bit. "Well, you've known dad longer than I have. But I suspect he'd say something similar to me. Do you want me there when you tell them?"
She took a deep breath, then shook her head. "No, but I may have you on skype if that's okay."
"Hey, what are overprotective brothers for?"
