Elbows jabbed my side and other feet crushed mine. Beer was flying through the air, dampening my hair and sweat soaked through my clothes. I was in heaven. I worked my way up to the front of the mosh pit, my feet never touched the ground as the sea of bodies helped me drift slowly to the guardrail in front of the stage. Once there, I gripped onto the rail and craned my neck up to face the band. I couldn't hear myself even though I was screaming along with them so loudly, that by the end of their set, I had a voice that was equivalent to a hot breeze through the desert. The bass matched the beat of my heart, and the music was no longer coming to me, but coming from me. I felt it with every inch of my being and although my ribs were being bruised by the mass of people behind me pushing me against the fence. As the last chord sang through the air, my heart and soul sang with it.

"We can't go on like this. You know it and I know it. If we keep things bottled up like this, something's going to explode. Maddy started as she held Autumn close. "Are you saying we tell our parents? Are you insane? I mean, seriously! They'll have a crucifixion and invite the whole town to watch the lesbians die! Autumn exclaimed. Maddy gave her a stubborn look and said, "Don't you think you might be exaggerating just a little bit? Plus, how much worse can it be? We live a lie every day, Autumn. We love each other and our parents love us. Nothing should change that. Autumn started to cry, and Maddy held her as she did so. "You know we have to, Autumn. You know it. How much longer do you think you can go on doing this? A week? Less? You and I both know that it needs to be said. Even if our parents disown us and hate us, we'll have each other. What else do we need? I love you more than life itself and I know we can make it work and be happy together.
