Why Do I? (GirlxGirl)

Chapter 9: Straight

Jonathan's POV

"GET out of my house before I fucking drag you out myself!" my father yelled as he pointed out the door and walked out, leaving me and my mom alone in his office. I wanted to cry. I knew it was a bad idea to come out suddenly to them. I just wanted to get their advice like those from the movies where teens tell their parents they're in love and their parents are so supportive and proud of them. But why is it different from mine?

"Jonathan, are you okay?" I felt my mom's hand on my shoulder, I turned around and she gave me a reassuring smile. She hugged me and I finally cried on her shoulder. "Hush, everything is going to be okay. I'm sure your father will get over it." She kept on reminding me that it's okay and that she accepts me for who I am.

'You're the best, Mom. Thank you.'

We stayed like that for minutes until I calmed down. I thanked her before heading to my room and change into a t-shirt and sweats. I was in deep thoughts.

Is it so wrong to be gay? Maybe people are just not used to other people being different because they were taught that being gay is a sin and gays must go to hell, but for me... We're all just human, created by God. Why treat people differently?

'Homophobes really.'

I was just about to sleep until a notification suddenly popped up. It was Allison. She was asking if I was fine, then Amora replied too. I laughed at their messages but I'm grateful to have them as my best friends. After a few minutes, I fell asleep.

I woke up at the sound of my alarm. It was noisy. Can I just sleep for the whole day instead? I went to the bathroom still half asleep but I was now wide awake when I almost slipped and fell.

"What the actual fuck."

After I finished showering and changing into my uniform, I went downstairs. I was hoping that my father already left for work but when I saw him in the kitchen, I wanted to skip breakfast just to avoid him as much as possible but to my horror, he called.

"Jonathan."

"Yes, father?" Am I still even allowed to call him 'father'? Man, I want to run. Can someone just miraculously invade my house and kidnap me?!

Amora and Aristria where are you?!

"Come sit and have breakfast with us." My father said. Did I hear that right? He even smiled. What kind of spirit possessed my father today?

"Is there something you wanted to talk about?" I took the seat in front of him, slightly panicking and still hoping that someone would show up.

"Look, about yesterday night..." He started. I just stared at him waiting to finish his sentence. "I'm sorry."

It's like a ton of weights had lifted from my shoulders. I thought he was gonna yell at me again. I don't know how to react. I breathed deeply but instead of answering, I just nodded and started eating. It was quiet but it wasn't awkward. I'm glad that my father came through or maybe mom talked him to it.

~ AT SCHOOL~

"I can not believe this!" We were just eating snacks peacefully when Amora came back and rolled her eyes as she sat down with us. We were sitting under a giant tree and we call it our usual 'Hangout Place'. The grass was clean enough so we didn't have to bring a blanket or something.
