Chapter 9: Coming Out…
When Kurt woke the next morning his eyes and throat were sore from crying. James was reading when he was up. “Hey I got to ask you a question.”
He nodded. “W-what?”
James sighed “Jake told me to ask you, when do you want to…you know?”
He smiled, knowing that this was going to be the best thing he ever did, well besides saying yes to being Blaine’s boyfriend. “Um…Sunday?”
James nodded “Okay I’ll let him know at Warbler Practice today.”
He groaned “We have practice today? Seriously? It’s Saturday!”
James nodded “I know, I don’t know why but he is…”
He sighed “I’m going to shower.” James nodded. He went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror and what he saw startled him. His blue-grey eyes were red and puffy from all the crying he did last night. He smiled when he remembered what James and Jake were planning, they were true friends and he would miss them so much. After he showered and got dressed he walked out and saw Blaine sitting on his bed looked the same way he was, a mess.
He smiled sadly “Hey Blaine.”
Blaine smiled back “Hi.” Blaine gave him a hug and asked “How, how did you sleep?”
He chuckled did he really need to ask? “Like shit.”
Blaine sighed “Same here.” Blaine looked at his boyfriend “You know Kurt, we need to tell the warblers and soon, if Jake hasn’t already told them.”
He nodded “Yeah I-I know, I’m planning on doing that today, to you know get it over with.”
He took Kurt’s hand. “I’ll be right there with you, we can do it together okay?”
Kurt nodded “You know, I’m actually not looking forward to last period for once, I’m actually dreading it.”
He smiled sadly “It’ll be okay, do you trust me?” Kurt smiled “Of course I do, I trust you with my life! I believe we went over this last night.”
He smiled “Then trust me when I say that it’ll be fine.” Kurt nodded and kissed him.
Blaine took his hand. They walked to the choir room in the senior commons. Nobody was really in a good mood because it was on a Saturday. Blaine gave his hand a reassuring squeeze. “I’ll be back; I just need to tell Wes we have an announcement to make.” Kurt nodded and Blaine kissed his forehead.
He took some deep breaths, knowing that he would have to tell them once Blaine came back and the meeting began. He knew that he’d be asked a lot of questions and he wasn’t very sure that he was ready to answer them yet. He did have Blaine there with him and that did comfort him, a lot. Blaine returned and Kissed Kurt’s cheek. “It’s gonna be ok, I’ll be there with you.”
He smiled “I-I know, I’m just a bit nervous that’s all.”
Wes banged the gavel “Alright, I call this meeting to order. First item on the agenda, Blaine and Kurt have an announcement to make.”
They both stood up. Blaine gave his hand a reassure squeeze. He sighed “I uh, I learned some news recently and it’s going to affect us all.”
They all were staring at him. “My f-family’s been having some money issues lately and as a result,” he paused to take a breath “I unfortunately have to leave Dalton.”
They all were upset saying “What?” and “Why?” and “You’re kidding right? all at once.
Wes Banged his gavel. “Hey quiet!”
He looked at three particular warblers, Sophomores Dan Rowe, Ron Moore and Senior Greg Murphy. They were still talking. “Greg, Dan, Ron, I will have order!”
The three immediately silenced themselves. Wes looked at Kurt. “Now Kurt, to answer everybody’s question; When are you leaving us?”
He looked at Wes. “In three weeks when tuition’s due.”
All the warblers groaned. David spoke up. “Uh just curious, where are you going?”
He sighed “Back to McKinley.”
Greg spoke up, brushing his dirty blonde hair out of his face. “Wasn’t the reason you came here because a bully threatened to kill you?”
He was silent, he had forgotten all about Karofsky. He nodded “Y-yeah, but I’ll have my protection; my step-brother will be there.”
The choir room was silent until Ethan asked “What about you guys?” Nate nodded and added “Yeah, are you two still together?”
Blaine took that one. “Yes, Kurt and I are still together. ”
Ethan looked at them “How are you guys going to do that?”
He sighed. “Well, it’s not going to be easy,” He looked at Kurt took his hand and smiled. “But we’re going to make it work. ”
Kurt nodded “Um, I just want to say that leaving you guys, is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. I’ve made such great friends here.”
He sighed “Y-you guys welcomed me with open arms and were just so nice! I feel so happy and safe here. I really don’t want to leave, but I really have no choice in the matter.”
They all sighed, and Wes could tell that nothing was going to get done. “Well, I guess nothing else is going to get done and I doubt that anyone is in the mood to sing, so I guess we can just talk…” They all agreed
Basically everyone was around Kurt, it annoyed him a bit but he listened. Jake talking to James about their plan. “So when are we doing this thing? Kurt’s in right?”
James nodded “Yeah he basically tackled me when I showed him the text!”
He smiled “Yeah…he does that…a lot.”
James sighed “I asked him this morning and he said “Sunday…” Jake nodded
“Okay well…I’m sure I can figure something out…”
James nodded and looked at Kurt, he was really going to miss him. He had taken him under his wing and now he’s leaving. James knew he had to talk to Kurt before he left, about what has been on his mind.
The final bell rang and everyone left the choir room. Kurt smiled at Blaine. “I’ve got a few things to do before you come over tonight; I’ll call you when you can come over okay?”
Blaine nodded “Ok, that’s fine. I’ve got a few more things I still have to do for my project anyway.”
He smiled “I’ll see you later.”
Blaine nodded “Bye babe.” He gave Kurt a quick hug and a kiss and went to grab his coffee.
His cell went off, a text from James. Hey are you busy? ~James
He paid for his coffee and replied Just getting coffee from the cafeteria, why? ~Kurt
He was putting sugar in his coffee when he got a reply. Oh, I need to talk to you…its kind of important :/~James
He grabbed his coffee and replied On my way. I’ll be there in 5. Hang in there I’ll be there soon. ~Kurt. He his way to their room
When he got to their room James was sitting on his bed just staring at a picture. He put his coffee on the desk as he said “Hey James I’m here wha-“
James ran into Kurt’s arms and cried. Kurt was a bit surprised. “Whoa, hey it’s okay.”
He rubbed his back and after a minute said “Come on, let’s sit down. I’m gonna grab you some water.” James sat on his bed and held a picture frame to his chest. He grabbed a tissue and wiped his eyes.
Kurt came back with a water bottle and handed it to him. “Here, drink some of this and take some deep breaths. It’ll help calm you down.”
He took some deep breaths and after Kurt noticed him calm down a bit. “Now, what’s going on? What are you holding?”
He sighed and showed him the picture. It was a picture of a girl with long light brown hair with light blue eyes and a beautiful smile. “Who is this?”
He smiled sadly. “Molly, my Molly.”
Kurt nodded. “I see so does this have something to do with what you want to talk to me about?”
He nodded “Do you remember what I talked to you guys about at the Lima Bean last month?”
Kurt raised an eyebrow at him. “About you questioning your sexuality?” He nodded “Yeah.”
Kurt sighed “Yeah what about it?”
He looked down at Molly’s picture. “I’ve been doing a lot of thinking while I’ve been here about myself and I realized that, that---“ He looked down at Molly’s beautiful face. He loved her but he couldn’t lie to himself anymore.
Kurt put a hand on his shoulder. “Hey, it’s okay James. What did you realize?”
He sighed “That I’m gay. I can’t lie to myself any…anym-more!”
Kurt looked down thinking to himself “God what do I say to him?”
James started crying again. “It’s okay…”
He shook his head. Kurt knew that he couldn’t handle this, not on his own anyway. “Blaine. He’ll know what to do.”
Blaine was pasting his pictures to his poster board when his cell went off. He sighed put down his glue and grabbed his phone, it was a text from Kurt.
Come over. I need your help, don’t ask questions just come over here like right now! ~Kurt
He gasped. “Oh god…”
He quickly replied I’m on my way ~Blaine
He literally bolted to Kurt’s room. He didn’t even knock when he got there, he just went in. Kurt was sitting on the bed rubbing James’ back as he cried into his shoulder. “What’s going on?”
Kurt sighed in relief. “Hey James, Blaine’s here.”
James looked up and waved. “Hey what’s going on?”
James fell back onto Kurt’s shoulder and cried again. He looked at Kurt. “What’s wrong?”
Kurt whispered “It’s not my place to tell you…” and he went back to rubbing his back.
Blaine Asked “Hey James, I’m worried about you. Do you want to tell me what’s wrong?”
He looked up “I-I uh finally f-figured out who I am.”
Blaine nodded “Okay.”
He sniffled “I-I’m gay Blaine!” He went back and cried on Kurt’s shoulder.
Blaine sighed and sat on the other side of Him. “Hey why are you so upset?”
He sighed “I-I don’t know how I’m gonna tell my family and Molly. God It’s gonna break her heart!”
Kurt looked at Blaine and mouthed “This is why I need you here!”
Blaine nodded “Okay, well when is the next time you’re going back to Kentucky?
He shrugged “I don’t know, summer probably.”
Blaine nodded “What about your grandparents?”
He sighed “Easter most likely but I don’t want to wait until summer. The longer I wait the harder it’s gonna be to tell them. Plus what if I meet someone? I can’t cheat on Molly!”
Blaine nodded “It’ll be okay. I don’t know what we’re going to tell them though. This is definitely something you don’t do over the phone.”
Kurt gasped “Ooh! I just got an idea!”
The looked at him “What is it?”
He looked at James “Does anyone in your family have a Skype?” James started at him and nodded
“Yeah…we all got one before I left Kentucky…why?”
Blaine smiled “Kurt, you’re a genius!”
He smiled “Thank you.”
James looked at them with a confused look. “Wait how the hell is this gonna help?”
Blaine sighed “James we can’t get you back to Kentucky to tell them in person. But Skype is the closest thing! You can tell them through the webcam!”
He smiled “Oh my god that’s perfect! Why didn’t I think of that?!”
Kurt shrugged “Well, you’re upset and you don’t usually think clearly when you’re upset.”
He nodded “Probably.”
Blaine looked at the clock, it was 4:45. “What time do your parents get home?”
He sighed “Well, everyone is home at like five.”
Blaine nodded “Well, do you want to do this tonight?”
He nodded. “I guess so…”
Blaine smiled “Well, it’s ten of five now, do you want us to leave?”
He shook his head. “No, can…can you s-stay with me?”
Kurt smiled “Of course we will! I would call your house and tell them to get on Skype.” He nodded and called them
After they hung up he turned on his laptop. Kurt could tell how nervous and scared he was as he signed on. “Hey it’s gonna be ok. We’ll be right here with you if you need us.”
He nodded. “I’m really going to need you guys when I tell Molly later.”
Blaine nodded. “Okay, we’re not going anywhere we’re here for you. We both know that coming out isn’t an easy thing. But when you finally do, you feel as though a huge weight has been lifted from your shoulders…well that’s how it felt for me. I don’t know about Kurt.”
Kurt nodded “It was the same way for me too. But my dad already knew because for my third birthday all I wanted was a sensible pair of heels. I’ve yet to get those too!” They all laughed as they waited for his parents to log onto Skype.
Kurt looked at the screen and Rachel Holbrook signed on. “Hey James, is your mom’s name Rachel?”
He nodded “Yeah is she on?”
Kurt nodded “She just logged on.”
He looked down at his feet, he felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked up and saw it was Blaine. “Are you ready?”
He took a deep breath and nodded. “Y-yeah I guess so.”
Kurt put his hand on his shoulder “We’ll be right here. Courage.”
Kurt looked at Blaine who smiled at him. He nodded and clicked the video call button and waited for her to accept.
After a minute or so, it connected. “Hi sweetheart. ” Said James mother who looked just like him, except for the hair.
“Hi Momma, how are you?”
She smiled “I’m good, how are you?”
He sighed “I’m okay, a little homesick.”
She nodded and looked at Blaine and Kurt in the background and asked “Who are your friends in the background?”
He called them over “Momma, this is Blaine Anderson, and this is my roommate Kurt Hummel.”
She smiled “It’s nice to meet you boys, I’m Rachel Holbrook.”
They smiled at her “Nice to meet you too.”
James sighed “Momma, where’s Dad and Katie?”
She sighed “Uh, in the kitchen why?”
He looked at Kurt who nodded. “I need to talk to you guys about something it’s really important.”
She looked at him curiously and asked “Is this something your fourteen year old sister can hear James?”
He looked at them and they nodded “Yeah Momma. It’s important for you all to hear it. Can you go get them for me please?”
She nodded. “Sure…I’ll be right back.” She left the computer.
He looked at Blaine and Kurt. “This should be interesting.”
Blaine shrugged “Well, we’ll see, and we’re here if you need us ok?”
He nodded. “I know thanks guys.”
They smiled at him. He brought his attention back to the computer screen. His mother returned with a young girl who was a spitting image of her mother, and his father who James resembled a little bit.
Katie smiled into the camera and waved. “Hi Jamie! I miss you!”
He smiled and waved back. “Hey Katie! I miss you too.”
His dad grinned “Hey James.”
He smiled. “Hey dad.” He looked at Kurt and Blaine.
“Oh, Dad Katie, this is Blaine Anderson and my roommate Kurt Hummel. Guys this is my dad James and my sister Katie.”
They waved “Nice to meet you both.”
His dad nodded. “Same here boys. James, your mother told us that you have something important to tell us. Are you alright son?”
He nodded “Yeah I’m fine, I mean I’m not sick or anything.”
He nodded “Okay, so what’s up?”
He took a deep breath and said “Um well you know how I’m supposed to be coming home in June?”
They nodded and his mother asked. “Yeah, what about it sweetheart?”
He sighed. “I’m probably not going to be able to come home…”
Katie frowned “Aww man! Why not?”
He sighed. “Because I can’t.”
His dad looked at him and sighed “Of course you can! We already booked your flight!”
He shook his head. “No I can’t Dad!”
His Dad sighed “Why not?”
He took a deep breath “Because I’m-“
He paused to try to stop from crying. He composed himself a bit and said “B-because I’m g-gay!”
Kurt and Blaine held their breath waiting for someone to say something. James looked down and said quietly. “I-I hope this doesn’t c-change the way y-you fell about m-me.”
His father gasped “James Daniel Holbrook Junior! Look at me right now!”
He looked up with tears in his green eyes. “You’re our son and we love you, no matter what your sexuality is!”
His mother nodded in agreement and said “Yes, and all we want is for you to be happy! That’s what every parent wants for their child! ”
His father sighed and said “We’re not totally in love with the idea but if that’s who you are, it does not change how we feel about you.”
Katie smiled “Yeah you’re still the same big brother I know and love.”
James let his tears fall freely down his cheeks.
Blaine smiled and said “This went really well, it’s great to see how accepting you are of James. Kurt and I are gay and are in a relationship. So we know how hard and scary it is coming out. It makes it so much easier knowing that their family is accepting of them.”
His mom nodded “We are, I don’t see how anybody couldn’t. He isn’t a different person.”
Kurt sighed and said “Well, some people aren’t as accepting like you are.“
She nodded “I don’t understand that! They’re still the same person, they just like the same gender!”
James smiled through his tears and said “Y-you guys have no idea how relieved I am to know that y-you guys s-still l-love me.”
They smiled “Of course we do Sweetie! But we have to go, Katie has a Basketball game. Call us later.” Said his mother.
He nodded “Okay, I love you guys.”
They smiled and replied “We love you too! Bye!” They waved and hung up.
James just lost it, he was so relieved. Kurt hugged him and said “We told you it would be okay.”
He nodded wiping his eyes and said “I-I know, but I still have to t-tell M-Molly.”
Blaine put a hand on his shoulder and said. “You don’t have to tell her tonight, if your too overwhelmed James.”
He shook his head. “N-no, I have to t-tell her t-tonight. She needs to hear this from m-me and not from my parents or Katie, whose like one of her best friends.”
Blaine nodded and said. “Okay, why don’t you wait a little while so you can calm down a little bit.”
He sighed “I’m fine really, I just want to get this over with.”
Blaine looked at Kurt and asked “Is she even online?”
He looked at the screen and nodded “Yeah , she just signed on.”
Kurt looked at him and asked. “Are you sure you want to do this now?”
He nodded “Yeah I’m sure.” He imed her asking her if she could video chat and she said she could. He looked at Blaine and Kurt and said “Please don’t leave me.”
They nodded. “We’re not going anywhere.”
He took a deep breath and clicked the video call button, she immediately accepted.
Molly was a really pretty girl with long light brown hair and icy blue eyes. She smiled and said “Hey James! How are you?”
He smiled and replied. “Hey Molly! I’m good how are you?”
She laughed “I’m good now that I’m talking to you! It’s been a while since I’ve seen you.”
He nodded “I know, I’ve been busy. Molly I want you too meet my friends Blaine Anderson and my roommate Kurt Hummel. Guys this is my girlfriend Molly Gibson.”
Kurt smiled “Nice to meet you.”
She nodded “Same here. So James, how’s Dalton?”
He looked at Blaine and Kurt smiling and replied. “It’s different…but I like it. Everyone’s been really nice and welcoming. The classes are a lot harder than I anticipated but I’m okay. I miss you though.”
She smiled. “That’s good, I’m glad you’re settling in okay. I know I miss you too James. I can’t wait to see you in June.”
He smiled thinking to himself “This is going to be a little harder than I thought.” He looked at Molly, she was a beautiful and nice person. He loved her but he couldn’t kid himself anymore it wasn’t fair to him and it wasn’t fair to her.
His smile faded when she asked. “What’s wrong James? You’ve been really quiet.”
He took a deep breath and said. “Molly, there’s something important I need to talk to you about. “
She nodded. “Oh…okay. What’s on your mind?”
He sighed and asked. “D-do you re-remember what we t-talked about before I left?”
She brushed her hair out of her face and nodded. “At my house, yours or on the way to the airport?”
He had to think for a second “Where did we talk about it, oh yeah.”
He sighed. “My house the night before I left, I believe we were in my room.”
She thought for a minute. “Um about you or how much you were going to miss me?”
He chuckled .”The second one is self explanatory Molly, the first one.”
She went pale and said. “Oh, o-ok.”
He looked at her and said “I’ve been doing a lot of thinking since I came to Dalton.”
She nodded “Okay…”
He smiled at her and said “Y-you know that n-now is the time in our lives when we try t-to figure out w-who we are.”
She nodded “Yeah, I know that’s what High School is all about.”
She chuckled and added “Even though high school sucks most of the time.”
He nodded. “Agreed, Molly, y-you know that I love you right?”
She smiled and said. “Of course I do! You’re my boyfriend and I love you too!”
He smiled at her and laughed as he said with tears in his eyes. “Y-you’re my best friend and I l-love you. But I-I can’t lie to myself a-anymore Molly.”
She looked at him with a puzzled look and asked “James, what are you trying to s-say here?”
He took a shaky breath and said. “M-Molly, I love you. But I figured out t-that I-I-“ he paused letting a few tears fall and continued. “I-I’m gay Molly.”
Her blue eyes filled with tears as she asked. “W-what?”
His voice trembled as he repeated himself. “I’m gay.”
She burst into tears grasping the heart necklace he gave her and he cried with her. His soft cries quickly turned into inconsolable sobs. He knew he had broken her heart and that killed him. He started to feel sick. “O-oh god!” he said as he ran into the bathroom sobbing.
Kurt looked at Blaine and went after him “James!”
Blaine was still skypeing with Molly who started to cry harder once she saw James take off. “Hey it’s okay Molly.”
She shook her head “N-no, w-why d-did it t-take him so long to figure it out? I mean look at me I’m heartbroken!”
Blaine sighed and said “Molly, listen coming out is one of the scariest things gays have to do…if they choose to.”
She looked at him curiously “H-how do you k-know?”
He sighed. “Because Molly, I’ve done it and so has my boyfriend.”
Her jaw dropped and she stared at him wide-eyed as she asked “Y-you’re gay?”
He nodded. “Yep and proud of it!”
She sighed. “Y-you don’t look it.”
He chuckled. “Yeah I get that a lot…”
She blushed. “Sorry.”
He smiled “Don’t worry about it.”
She sniffled “I-I thought t-that him b-being bi and possibly gay, was a phase.”
He sighed. “Well, a lot of people think that but it’s not a phase. W-when I came out to my family, I literally almost passed out, it’s that scary! All your thinking about is what their reactions will be and if you’ll still have them and not look at you any different.”
She sighed “W-were they accepting of you?”
He sighed. “Well, my mom and my sister are but my brother and my father, that’s a different story. Especially when I told them that Kurt and I were in a relationship.”
She looked at him “He’s gay too?”
He nodded “Yeah, he’s my boyfriend.”
She had noticed how happy Blaine and Kurt were together and started to cry as she asked. “B-but I still don’t know why it t-took him so long, does he not love me at a-all?”
He sighed. “No Molly, he loves you so much. Molly, the whole reason why he’s been in the closet so long is because of you.”
She gasped “M-me?”
He nodded. “He didn’t want to hurt you, he cares too much about you.”
After she heard this she cried harder. “Oh n-no, what have I d-done?! B-Blaine, how c-can I help him?”
He smiled “By letting him know you meant what you said when he told you . Let him know that nothing is going to change between you and this is the most important thing, just be there for James if he needs you. Can you do that?”
She nodded “Y-yeah. D-do you think he’s okay?”
He nodded “Oh yeah don’t worry, he’s with Kurt.” He smiled “He’s in good hands, I promise.”
Kurt knocked on the bathroom door. “James, it’s Kurt. Can I come in?”
He heard James tearfully reply “I-I don’t c-care.”
He opened the door and saw him in a ball with his head on the bathtub, he sat in front of him. “Hey it’s okay.”
James shook his head. “No…it’s not. You s-saw her, I b-broke her heart! She must h-hate me!”
He shook his head. “No, she doesn’t hate you James. I think she’s just in shock that’s all.”
James sighed and asked “H-how do y-you know Kurt?”
He smiled “I just know.”
James took a piece of toilet paper and wiped his eyes and asked “D-do you r-really think s-so Kurt?”
He nodded “Yeah there’s only one way to find out for yourself.”
He held his hand out to James and he took it. Kurt helped him up and they returned back to the room.
Blaine looked up and said “He’s back.”
James just stood there against the wall.
Molly sighed “W-where is he?”
He sighed. “Standing against the wall staring at his feet.”
She sighed and said “Tell him that I want to speak with him.”
Blaine nodded and said “Hey James, she wants to speak with you.”
He shook his head. “I-I can’t!”
Blaine sighed “He won’t listen to me.”
She sighed and said “I’m not surprised. Turn the volume up so he can hear me.”
He nodded and turned the volume up and nodded.
She took a deep breath and said “James honey, I want t-to talk to you. I’m not mad. Please?”
He sighed and walked over to the bed and sat next to Kurt.
She smiled at him “Hey.”
He kept his head down as he replied “H-hey. I uh I know that y-you ha-ha-hate me.”
She looked at Blaine who shook his head. She sighed and said “James, I-I don’t hate you.”
He looked up tears rolling down his cheeks and said “Really?”
She nodded and said “Yeah, I could never hate you! You k-know what I said t-to you when you t-told me you were questioning?”
He nodded “I meant what I said and nothing will change between us. Y-you’re always going to be my best friend and I love you. A-and if you e-ever need me I’ll be here.”
James smiled through his tears. “Th-thank you Molly, you have no idea how much it means to know that I still have you!”
She nodded “I uh. I gotta go. I have some stuff to do. I love you.”
He smiled “I love you too.” They hung up
He smiled at his friends. “Y-you guys were right. I do feel a lot better. Do you mind if I talk to Kurt for a little bit alone?”
Blaine nodded. “Of course not, I’ll talk to you later.”
He gave Kurt a kiss and made his way back to his room thinking. “That was stressful.” He opened the door to their room to see that Jake was already asleep.
“That’s weird, it’s only 9:30.” He thought to himself. There was something different about his room, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it. He shrugged and put it to the back of his mind. He took a quick shower and went to bed, he was so exhausted.
Kurt smiled at James “Thank you for doing this James.”
He nodded “No problem, especially after what you and Blaine did for me today. Did you talk to Wes?”
He nodded “Yep everything is set.”
James nodded and they both went to bed, it was going to be a long day tomorrow.
Blaine woke up the next morning around eight and saw that Jake was gone and a note was on his empty bed.
Hey man,
I have to leave for a while…don’t ask why. You’ll know why soon enough. Oh by the way go see Wes he has to talk to you about some stuff. See you soon
~Jake
He sighed “Well, that’s weird.” He said to himself. He took a quick shower and went to Wes and Thad’s dorm.
He knocked on the door, Thad texted James as Wes opened the door. “Hey Blaine come in.”
He walked in and sat on the computer chair. “Jake’s gone, Do you guys know where he is?”
Wes nodded “Yeah we know. He’ll be back soon don’t worry.”
He ran his hand through his hair. “Um he left a note saying you needed to talk to me about something.”
Wes nodded. “Yes I have a letter for you.”
He handed the note to him. He read it and sighed “A new roommate? So nice of Jake to leave without an explanation or good bye.”
He put the letter back in the envelope and asked “When will he be here?”
Wes looked at Thad who nodded “He should be there now. You should go meet him.”
He nodded “Alright, see you later.”
He left the room and walked back to his dorm. He opened the door and was shocked when he saw who his roommate was.

Oh no, I need the next chapter! Oh this one was so so good. I'm so proud of James. I literally held my breath when he came out to both his family and Molly.
I was a bit worried about this chapter...I personally don't know how people come out...so I sort of winged it. I'm glad you liked it though!! :)
HAHA I bet I figured it out! Not so much a NEW roomie, just a different one!!
Idk... We'll have to wait and see xD
