Caught my Gay boyfriend
When I was 16, I had my first boyfriend. Back then, everything felt magical young, innocent, and full of hope. Until I eventually realised that he was gay, and that I had only been a way for him to prove to himself and others that he was straight.
When I found out, I was completely shaken. I wasn’t ready to accept what had happened or understand how something that felt so real to me could have meant something so different to him. I remember asking him to give me just a few days, not as his girlfriend, but simply as a friend so I could somehow process everything and survive the heartbreak.
But it was the end of school, and perhaps he didn’t care enough to stay. He moved on, while I was left trying to make sense of everything on my own.
The worst part was that whenever I tried to talk to someone, my pain became a joke. People laughed about it as if it were some funny teenage story, while for me, it was the first time my heart had truly broken.
I was only 16, and I had no idea how to carry that kind of pain.
