Out?

A week ago my dad and I jumped into the car to head to Bostic, NC to visit my Grandpa and other family. My Grandpa now lives with my Aunt Debbie since he cannot fully take care of himself. I climbed into the car early that morning with my pillow and blanket and tried to fall back asleep. I expected this trip to be like the rest, hanging out at my Aunt Debbie's house with no cell phone signal playing with her dogs and listening to my Grandpa snore as he watches westerns on TV.

This trip was far from what I expected. It was definitely different than the others, full of surprises. I was woken up one morning to the dogs barking hysterically. I walked out of my room to see a baby billy goat in Pampers and a T-shirt running around the house. Apparently the woman who helps take care of my Grandpa brought the orphan goat to see him. I knew we were in the country, but waking up to a baby goat running around was furthest from my thoughts.

This trip was not only contained one surprise, but she shocked me with something I never EVER would have thought to happen. Due to the lack of a cell phone signal and my exhaustion from wrestling with my aunt's dogs my boredom led me to browsing Facebook and Twitter. While reading posts on a friend's Twitter page my aunt checks it out and asks, "Oh do we have a little love crush over there, a little boo, or just friends? I replied "haha just friends" She chuckled and began to walk away. Then she turned around and grabbed my shoulder and whispered into my ear, "and it's ok if you like girls, it doesn't bother me and I don't care" then she walked away as it was nothing. I quickly jumbled to pick my jaw up off the floor as she said out loud while walking away "don't mind a bit, not one bit."

I could not believe what just happened. Every thought possible ran through my head. How did she know? I haven't come out to my family yet, not even my parents. She some how knew. However it's not like I really try to keep my sexuality a secret, anyone with a Facebook can pretty much figure it out. Which she has a Facebook and lots of spare time to creep. I was so shocked and scared I felt shaky and rushed to my Facebook chat to find someone to talk to, I needed someone to get me to calm down. My aunt was so nonchalant as she confronted me, and I am still in shock from the situation. Though I am still slightly scared and in shock, I shouldn't be. This is a really good thing. My aunt is ok with my sexuality and accepting. Hopefully I will get over being scared and this shock soon...
