Chapter 1
"Are you ready....one..two...three...push" As we were struggling I could here the strain in her voice.
"OK it didn't even move not even a little bit mom this stupid dresser is super glued to the floor" I then stopped trying and flopped down on the bed. I hate moving it's like with every new town comes new problems except my mom keeps saying this town is supposedly perfect. She says the community we are moving to is called paradise and that problems don't exist once you have passed the front gates.
Sounds more like a horror story gone wrong to me.However at least I still have my boat trip with my father to look forward to tomorrow morning. It will be the last one for a while.
"I will call your uncle john" When those six words left my mothers mouth I was kind of surprised since my mom almost never wants my uncle in our house. She says his lifestyle isn't supported in this house. I remember growing up every Christmas my mom would give him a Bible and every year he would smile and take it. I never new why until last year when I learned he was gay.
"Well I will be downstairs making a sandwich" I then got off my bed and began to walk downstairs but my mom grabbed my arm and gripped it tightly.
Uh oh "Toni Robinson what is this" I looked in my mothers arms and there it was my notebook that I used as a diary. This whole time I saw her reading something but I didn't know it was my diary, how did she even find that.
"Um I can explain" she then pointed to my bed which ment sit down and shut up.Which I did then she became the picture of calm she sat down next to me and continued reading from were she left off. I sat their for what felt like hours as she read the whole thing and I knew when she was done my life would so be over.
"Have you been hanging out with your uncle John Toni" I quickly got offended by what she was suggesting.
"No mom you can't catch gay if that's were your getting at" I said standing up.
"Well then where did these thoughts come from fantasizing about girls and what not" said my mom with confusion written all over her face.
"I raised you to be a nice christian girl not....this" she said the latter part pointing to my notebook.
"Mom I can still be a christian-" my mom cut me off and said.
"I don't want to talk about it and no I'm not going to punish you however when your uncle comes you can spend the rest of your high school years with him"
After she said this she began packing my stuff while calling my uncle to tell him what's going on. I could only stand their as my "loving christian mother" who was supposed to love everyone with the love of the lord continued packing my stuff. That's when my father walked in and everything got worse.
After she told them what happened he agreed and within hours I was all packed and ready to go and well my uncle said he would gladly take me in.
Once I was all packed my father said I could have the furniture in my room so that I could at least have a bed So my father and uncle put my furniture in his truck and the rest in my uncles car and me and my mother stood on the sidelines and I said to her.
"This all happened to fast you didn't even hear me out" I looked at her waiting for an answer.
She replied " if you thought I would let a gay person live in my house you must be out of your mind"
So I got in my uncles car kinda glad to go believe it or not it was like being set free.

Chapter two
"So has your mom told you what I do for a living" asked my uncle. Growing up I only ever saw my uncle on the special holidays or my birthday, however recently my mom has been wanting to change my uncle so recently we have been "shining a light".
"No she never talked about you I didn't even know you were homosexual until last Christmas" he looked as if he wasn't surprised by this information.
"I am a director for this new show you probably never heard of it though" I was not expecting for him to say that.
"What show do you direct" I asked kind of curious now.
"Screaming loudly" he said caully however this isn't a small thing this show is almost as big as sliced bread.
"So since when are you gay kid" said my uncle sounding slightly suprised.
"I have always been I am just really scared of my parents so I have been very far in the closet" he only nodded and stayed silent for a while.
"So uncle john my mom says you live in an gated community with nothing but white stuck up people" I asked knowing my mom is probably wrong but a little curius.
He laughed and replied "the school you will be going to is probably mostly white however their is a few black people where we live"
He continued with.
"And another thing I know your parents are big on racism but that doesn't fly in my house"
What he means is most of our family hates white people however my uncle prides himself in bracing different types of people. See in case you haven't figured it out I'm African-American my skin is the same shade as milk chocolate.
"Uncle john chill I am fine with white people if that's what you mean". I said with a bored tone I am just ready for this ride to be over with.
"Uncle john were do you live" I ask
"I'm in the same town as your parents grew up in Orlando, Florida oh but were are your parents moving to" he asked.
"Paradise" I say knowing my answer sounds crazy.
New town new problems I doubt anything will be different this time.
