Silver Lining of a Gray Teen

Prologue

Black and white, with gray dividing the two. Growing up, you learn the difference between what is "right," and what is "wrong."
"Drinking is wrong Vinnie, and don't you forget it." My mother said.
"If you start liking boys, then you'll be on the way out of this house, do you understand." Loving old dad has said more than once.
During the first 12 odd years of my life, I treated the words of my parents as if they were the holy of holies. But, eventually, I became curious, and it wasn't long before I wondered if being gay was all that bad, if porn was as evil as people made it out to be, and if sex was as dangerous as my folks said it was. Slowly, but surely, what my parents considered to be black, and white, blurred into gray for me. I learned to appear as the "faithful," Christian boy they want me to be, and say the right things when I needed to.
They say that every cloud has a dark and light side, with a silver lining in the middle. I guess I'm the silver lining of morality, not letting either side sway me, instead, choosing to change when I need to. All of this may sound crazy, or, maybe it makes total sense, it doesn't matter what you think either way, this is the story of my life. You'll find that Vinnie Blake's life is not perfect, average, or terrible, it is just right.
