What's up, kid?

normalbennetkid October 5 2010, 17:23:50 UTC

I was talking to this guy, and it got me thinking, and... I can't talk to my parents.

hes_onthe_jazz October 5 2010, 17:27:38 UTC

Well. Have a seat. What's on your mind?

normalbennetkid October 5 2010, 17:31:44 UTC

*Flops into a chair* He was just... so proud of being... different, you know? And... all my life, I just wanted to be normal. But I'm not. And I don't know... what to do about it.

hes_onthe_jazz October 5 2010, 18:32:33 UTC

What makes you think you're not normal?

normalbennetkid October 5 2010, 18:35:13 UTC

I'm just... not.

hes_onthe_jazz October 5 2010, 19:08:14 UTC

I doubt that. I mean, normal's just a word, anyway. It's arbitrary. There can't be anything about you that makes you so horribly abnormal.

normalbennetkid October 5 2010, 19:30:00 UTC

*looks down* I... I know a lot of people are... like me. But that doesn't make it... right.

hes_onthe_jazz October 5 2010, 19:50:05 UTC

If you want to talk about it, you really should talk about it, kid.

normalbennetkid October 5 2010, 19:51:41 UTC

*Shudders* I've never... never told... anyone. This is... harder... than on TV.

hes_onthe_jazz October 5 2010, 19:52:43 UTC

You can trust me, Lyle. Nothing you say will ever leave this place.

*Looks up at him, wrapping himself in his arms. Breathes deeply* I... I... I'm... gay. *Bites his lip*

hes_onthe_jazz October 5 2010, 19:58:38 UTC

And that's not normal?

normalbennetkid October 5 2010, 20:00:09 UTC

Of course it's not.

hes_onthe_jazz October 5 2010, 20:09:50 UTC

Why?

normalbennetkid October 5 2010, 20:17:35 UTC

Everyone says so.
