    You and Shauna have been secretly dating for over a year, nobody knew—not even her long term bestfriend Jackie. Shauna only wanted it a secret because she had a very hard time coming to the conclusion that she was gay. She lived a normal, boring and straight ended lifestyle until you came along and made her feel something she should’ve felt for a guy.

    You on the other hand wanted to scream from the rooftops that you were in love, you came to terms with your own sexuality at a very young age. Your parents supported you, your bestfriends Tai & Van rode the coming out journey along with you being a gay couple themselves. Your bestfriends hated your relationship, they hated the fact that Shauna piggybacked off you and used you to ‘experiment’ or to figure out if she was truly into women.

    You sat in Shauna’s room, you two had shared a happy kiss on her comfy duvet, the close proximity of your bodies was enough to have you flustered. She talked you into hanging out with her and Jackie just so she could spend time with you since around your shared group of friends—you had to pretend around them, that the girl didn’t give you that butterfly feeling in the pit of your stomach. Jackie was outside saying bye to Jeff once he dropped her off and it left Shauna and you alone a little longer.

    “I’m sorry it has to be like this, I just.. I don’t know what to tell everyone. About us, I mean.” Shauna spoke softly with your cheek cupped in her hand as her eyes bored into yours—the puppy dog eyes she held were one of the things that make you weak for the girl.
