TW: Transphobia, Slight abuse, and sadness all around

~•~•~•~•~~•~•~•~•~~•~•~•~•~~•~•~•~•

Even as a child, Xander wasent your token "little princess". He only wore dresses on a rare day and said he wanted to be a boy constantly. His mother was supportive, she even stopped calling him "Alexandera" and used his pronouns and chosen name.

But his relationship with his dad was rocky, he loved him, that was his dad after all, but he continued to spout bible verses at him and tryed to "cure" him. His mother always stopped his dad before stuff got out of hand, but Xander would be lying if he said he dint cry from that.

Despite that, it was his dads birthday, so he bought him a silver ring and drove to his house from the store. Once there he knocked on the door and was greeted by his mother, she was a beautiful woman, light chocolate colored skin, the same as Xander, her hair was long and curly, and her smile and personality could light up a room.

"Xander, your back! just in time, c'mon, lets go surprise your father!" she said, walking inside, leaving the door open for him. Xander walked in, putting the ring in his pocket. 

Then he saw his dad.

A very tall man, slightly darker skin then Xander and his mom, his hair was shaved and he was clutching his cross necklace in his hand.
"Hello, Alexandra."
"Its just Xander."
"Sure it is."

The family ate dinner, talked, and for once Xander thought his dad would at least treat him nicely once. All Xander wanted was one thing every child wants. Fatherly love and acceptance.

Once it hit 8, Xander tried to give his father his present but was cut of by him saying "So Alexandra, when is your little boy phase going to be over with? I wanna see you settle down with a husband and kids soon, I mean, you are turning 20 in February"

He stood there in shock for a few minutes before speaking.
"Never. I am a man. You can either accept me or leave me."
"Hah-! no no no, im not having two failures as kids!"

Xander stoped. was he talking about his sister?

"Jenny?"

"Yeah! shes a retard. Shes going to end up in an insane asylum!"

"She has Autism dad! Shes not retarded!"

"Whatever, stop talking like you know about any of it"

"I know a lot of things."

"Hah like what?"

"Like how you cheated on mom."

The room went silent. His mom looked down and cupped her hands around her mouth.

"Im giving you ten minutes. Pack your stuff. You're going to your aunts house"

His mother tryed to talk back but his father gave her a stern look and she went silent. He packed his stuff and hugged his mom before going to his car and driving away, tears in his eyes. While driving he saw a little cliff.

"It would be so easy to drive off that right now."

"All of it could be over."

"I could be happy..."

He stopped himself before he could even try and drove to his Aunts house, ignoring everything and everyone around him.
