Violet furrowed her brow. “He dumped you just because you’re not ready to tell your mom and our dad? That’s bullshit. That’s literally horrible. He can’t just do that to you.” Violet stroked Cisco’s forehead. “You shouldn’t have to be forced to be outed. That’s not healthy. You’re better off without him.”
“I also can’t hide forever. I’ve already been outed to some people. I’ve been getting anonymous messages and letters about Hart and me at the Gala. People know, but our family hardly keeps up with tabloids.” Cisco shrugged, pulling his arms in closer to his chest. “I think we rushed into it, anyway. It’s better that we went our separate ways.” His voice cracked as he choked back tears. “It’s okay.”
