Chapter 5: We go to the store together to buy some brand new clothes for me, ones that are less pink, floofy, and girly. Anything that isn't a dress. Since I only have dresses currently, I put on my least girly dress to go to the store. It's still pink, but it's fine. As long as I soon get to make my own decisions on what I wear. We pick out some clothes. We go to scan the items. My new parents buy them for me. I'm super excited. We exit the store, and we see two girls standing outside. They're both talking to each other, and about ten seconds later, they kiss. Not only in public, but also in front of a nine year old. A nine year old who was raised her whole life thinking that this was bad. Very, very, bad. I very loudly say "ewww..." Now, this would probably be any nine year olds reaction to anybody kissing, so my parents didn't think much of it. Charlotte looked at me. "What's ew, Katie?" I point at the two girls kissing. "That" Charlotte looks at the girls, and then back at me. "Katie, why is it ew?" "Because it's two girls. That's bad." Probably the most embarrassing sentence of my life. Obviously, back then, I wasn't thinking that. "What makes you think it's bad?" Says Charlotte. "My mommy said so. My other mom. My first mom." Charlotte understands. Clearly, Katie's first parents were homophobic, and taught Katie that gay people were bad. "Katie, honey, when girls like other girls and boys like other boys, it's not bad. It's called LGBTQ+. It's called gay, and it's okay. It's normal. Don't listen to what your mom said, she also said that you had to wear dresses and pink, remember?" I realized that maybe my mom was wrong, because I never thought there was anything bad with it, I just believed her. Now, I had to trust Charlotte. And I trusted her more than I ever trusted my mom. That day, she earned the title of "mom." She felt honored, and Alex felt a bit jealous, even though he is her husband.
I'm sorry if it doesn't make much sense, I'm also posting this story on quotev and usually I write it here first then copy paste it into quotev and add extra details that I can't add in scratch, but this time, since scratch was scrashing, I had to write it on quotev first and remove some details. So last chapter, this chapter and chapter 6 may not make much sense. First: Previous: Next: Coming soon! This story is all fiction
