Sebastian POV

"Mom, Dad, what does 'gay' mean?" I ask. They look at me, my dad clenches his fist.

"Honey, gay means-"

"Don't YOU DARE." He interrupts her. "Sebastian Smythe, gay is wrong, gay is a sin."

"Hon, stop, you're scaring him." 

"But mom, what does it mean?"

"Sebastian, it means liking the same gender as yourself." She doesn't make eye contact with me, she stares at dad with... Fear.

"So like, if I liked... other boys?" I whispered. My father's face turns red. 

"SEBASTIAN SMYTHE, DON'T YOU DARE BE THAT SIN." He shouts.

"Dad...." Tears form in my eyes. 

"Sebastian, to your room please." Mom looked at me. I nod and run up to my room. I lock the door, then press my ear to the floor hoping to hear what my dad is mad about. 

"Honey stop, he's only 10."

"YOUNG, MIGHT AS WELL SET HIM STRAIGHT." 

"Stop." Then the rest muffled. 

"Seb...?" Susan knocks on the door. "What's going on?"

"Susan?" I open the door. "Oh Susan!" I hug her. After I let go she walks in and shut the door behind her. 

"What happened?" She listens as I explain everything. 

"But, I had a crush on uh... Lily last year, but then I started to like Blaine..." I wipe a tear. 

"Sebastian, that's called bi." She gives me a watery smile.

"Will you be my sister if I'm... bi?"

"Of course."

Suddenly I'm taken through 3 years, when I'm thirteen, 3 years of pain later, the real pain starts, the boiling water, the gun, the death. 

"SEBASTIAN! WAKE UP!" 

"What? I-" I look at Caitlin. She must have came to S.T.A.R Labs and heard me screaming?

"I heard you screaming and I thought you..." She grabs my hand. "What were you dreaming about?"

"My teenage years, high school sucked." I bit my lip.

"So did mine, now, stop lying to me. What were you dreaming about?"

"Just a bad nightmare. Okay? Let it go." 

"Okay fine." She gives me a hug.
