Crying In The Rainbows

Chapter One

Hi! I'm Bailey! I'm 14. My life is pretty rough. People make fun of me cause I like different genders.(boys and girls.)Yes I'm bisexual. I get teased everyday for it. Well let's not get into this. I have to get ready to go to school. I call it the living hell. I walk down the stairs, getting ready to get my breakfast. As I get to the bottom of the stairs , I see my parents looking at the ground. My mom had tears dripping from her face every 10 seconds. I walked over to her and rubbed her back, asking what was wrong. She pulled me by my arm, and sat me on the couch. She could barely speak. Every time she tried to say something she hesitated. My dad just blurted out and said, "we are giving you up for adoption." I don't think that meant to come out of his mouth. I yelled "WHAT, WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOUR GIVING ME UP FOR ADOPTION!" My dad replied "son, I'm sorry but yes, we can't take care of you, its just to much to handle."

I looked at my dad, and gave him a dirty stare while my eyes where starting to water. "I can't believe you would do this to me."   They took out a piece of paper because they could not bare to tell me what they where about to say. My dad started to write on the paper with a blue sharpie. Like 5 minutes later, after a long wait that felt like a life time. He slid over the piece of paper while tearing up. I glanced down at the paper.

"Dear son,

I don't have the courage to say this out loud. We have been thinking long and hard about what I'm about to say. We don't want to tell you this but you will have to figure it out one way or another. Your mom and I don't like bisexual people. We do love you but we can't keep it from you. We wish we did not have to do this. We have came to a decision. You can visit whenever you want. We already found you a home. I hear they are really nice people. I think you will like them. Again, I'm sorry that we had to do this to you, but always remember we love you."

I was so upset. I went upstairs to pack my stuff. I walked up the stairs when my mom yelled. "ONLY PACK YOUR CLOTHES." I stopped walking and turned back around. I walked over to my mom and I said "what I thought you where taking me away." My mom replied "we want to keep your room kind of the same as it is now, so we have something to remember you by" I looked in her eyes and nodded my head while tears where dripping down my face. I'm walking back upstairs thinking to myself "I hope these people will like me." I get to my room and start to empty out my drawers. I'm crying so much I can barely breathe. Its taking me two minutes just to put one thing in my suit case. I sit on my bed trying to take a nap. I'm laying in my bed for about 10 minutes but can't fall asleep so I keep packing. My mom yelled "HURRY UP WE HAVE TO GO SOON." I finish packing and my drawer is as empty as my soul. I walk down stairs, and I tell my mom that I'm all packed and ready to go.  Hmm sort of ready. I don't want to go. I never did in the first place. I grab my moms car keys and unlock her car. I open the trunk and stuff my bag in.  I walk back inside with tears dripping down my face. I sit on the white couch, which had a stain on it from 2010 when my jelly sandwich had dropped from my hands. I had so many memories here. I spent all my time with my friends in this house. Then it hit me. I started to panic. I run over to my mom, and I ask her "Where am I moving, Will I be able to see my friends." She replies "yes honey you're only moving a couple blocks away, same school and same friends" I sigh in relief. I ask her when we where going. She holds up 10 fingers, she told me minutes. 10 minutes.  I walk to my room and I sit in my bed one last time. My drawers where wide open and super empty. There was no sight cloths anywhere. I hear my mom call me to come on. I slowly walk downstairs. I walk out the front door then into the car where my mom is waiting for me.  I get into the car and my mom starts to drive off with a few tears in her eyes.
