a choked sob escaped my throat as i curled up on the empty bed, the ache in my chest not seeming to calm down. i felt so alone, and so wrong. he wasn't here anymore, and i wasn't able to talk to him. he was the only one who knew that i was transgender, and he seemed to be he only person who could cheer me up when i needed it.

i longed to hear his voice, to tell me that'd it would be okay eventually. but when you have an extremely religious family who you know won't be supportive of basically any of your choices, you're stuck and lost. all i want is a dick - and connor. was that too much to ask?
