CHAPTER TWELVE

Roland

“He doesn’t want me anymore.” I stared at the floor under my feet. I was sitting on Skye’s couch, feeling lost and weak. My heart didn’t pound the way it used to. It seemed to be broken, functioning but not at the same capacity. “He…is considering going back to Ander.”

Skye sat beside me, her hand wrapped around mine. “I’m sorry…” She was gentle with me, keeping her voice low like she would provoke me if she didn’t.

“I can’t believe this is happening…I keep hoping I’ll wake up from this nightmare.”

She moved her thumb across my knuckles. “You should tell Mom and Dad.”

“What’s the point?” I said with a painful sigh. “Heath said it’s too late. Whether I tell them or not, he wants nothing to do with me. He said I took too long trying to figure out what I wanted.”

“Maybe he was just upset when he said that,” she said. “Tell Mom and Dad and then tell Heath they know everything. That might make him reconsider.”

“I know Heath,” I said. “It won’t change anything. He’s a man of his word.”

“You have to tell them anyway, Ro,” Skye said. “And shouldn’t you do it now when there’s a chance, however slim, that it might make Heath come back?”

“I don’t know…” I wanted to tell my parents even less now. I didn’t have a man to introduce them to so what was the point? If they rejected me I wouldn’t have anyone to comfort me besides my sister.

“Do it.” Her voice was firm but gentle at the same time.

“I fucked it up—bad.”

“You want my advice?” she asked.

I shrugged. “I don’t think you have any advice to give, honestly. You aren’t gay or have ever known someone who is gay.”

“But I’ve been in several relationships. And like you said, gay relationships aren’t much different than straight ones.”

“Then what do you want to say?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

“I think you should tell Mom and Dad. Then you should fight for Heath. Ander is trying to get back together with him. I’m sure he’s whispering a bunch of things in Heath’s ear, trying to manipulate him. But if you fight as well you’ll win. Heath loves you. Remember that.”

I had no motivation to do that since it seemed so unlikely to do any good.

“Ro, what other choice do you have?” Skye asked. “This is your only option.”

It was my only option.

“Now do it and tell Heath you’re ready to give him everything he wants.”

“But he said—”

“I know what he said. But he also said it under the assumption that you would never come clean to your parents anyway. Prove him wrong.”

Telling my parents was going to be painful. I felt sick just thinking about it. The look on my dad’s face would be horrifying. There would be nothing but disappointment in his eyes. Our relationship would never be the same. He would look at me with disgust, thinking I was a freak for wanting men instead of women. I wasn’t sure how my mom would feel.
