One Holy Night

I remeber our 8th grade year was coming to an end and over the course of middle school my paticular group of buddies would always mess around and always have a good time regardless of the situation. The crew was Me, Phillip, Eduardo, Charlie, Sherwin, Rodrigo, and Tyjon. Everyone was super cool with each other and we just cruised through middle school together. As, the months went by we noticed a change in Tyjon, he changed up his style, the music he listened too, and the way he went about things. He went from rapper to crazy weird scene dude, and kinda shut us down for a while. Come to think about it he shut everyone down. So one day towards the end of the school year we sat him down and talked to him and asked him what was going on with him. Of course he didn't want to say anything to us and ignore us, but he knew we wouldn't judge him and always encourage him in whatever he did. So he just broke down and let it all out. Come to find out he was gay, and he thought we would shut him out and forget about him. We all just laughed and because we thought it was silly and didn't believe him at first, but then he told us he was serious. So, we all just looked at each other and told him that we don't care if your gay we love you dude. The look on his face was priceless, like a 500 pound weight was lifted off his shoulders and he just busted out crying. So then that triggered all of us too cry and we all walked away that day with friends we know we'll have for a lifetime.
