Don't cry I am here for you - a Luke and Alex story

Chapter 5

Alex's pov

"No, this can't be true. No not my son. No. No. No. What the hell are you thinking? You aren't supposed to like men. You should find a nice woman and someday you'll get some children. No can't like men!" my mom shouted at me. I felt the tears coming out of my eye and then I looked into my father's face and he looked so disappointed and angry. I felt bad, but at the same time, I was proud of myself that I opened myself to them. My father stood up and went away, I was so sad and then my mom had a breakdown. "Mom this doesn't change me! When I am in a relationship with a man or with a woman! I am the same person, your son." "No, you aren't! If you like men, then you are not my son anymore!" She really said this. I so shook that I couldn't move. The tears ran down my face. My mom was always the person that appreciated me the most and now she is the one who broke my heart into many pieces. She just sat there with the hands in her face and she said a few words, but I couldn't understand them. But what am I supposed to do now? I can't stay here that is sure. Will Luke be ok when I would stay at the garage, too? I need a place to stay because I am obviously not welcome anymore. My heart felt like iron in my body and I could go down on my knees, but instead, I just ran upstairs. I grabbed my backpack and picked some stuff. A few clothes, my toothbrush, and my drumsticks. I didn't need more. When I went downstairs my mom and my dad just sat there, silent, so I went to the door without paying them any attention. I was too hurt. I went to the beach to clear my mind a bit because I didn't want to complain about my problems in front of Luke. He is going through so much right now, he doesn't need my problems too. Or should I tell him that I fell in love with him and told my parents that I was gay and they didn't accept me? I really don't know what to do right now and it freaks me out. The tears ran down my face. I don't know what to do. A hand on my shoulder interrupted my thoughts. I immediately turned around and saw Reggie standing there. "Hey, dude. Are you okay?" When I just thought about saying, that my parents don't accept me the way I am, I felt the pain deep in my heart. I couldn't say a word, even though I tried a few times. I think Reggie noticed petty fast, what the answer was, so he just came to me and hugged me. I am really thankful to have him and he made me feel a little better.

"So where are you going to stay, I mean obviously you can't go back to your place.", he said. "I was thinking about staying at the garage, too. In that case Luke won't, be alone and maybe I can tell him how I feel...", I looked at my fingers. What if he won't accept me either? What if he doesn't feel the same way? What if he would hate me too? Only the thought of Luke hating me hit me like a blade that went directly into my heart. "I really think you should tell Luke about your feelings. You two would be so cute together!" "Thanks, Regg, I really appreciate that you are supporting me." "Of course, buddy"; he said and smiled. We sat a little longer on the bench and watched the sea. I really love the sea. It is so calm and so wild at the same time. When I watch it it's like I am in my own world of thoughts.

"Luke I am back!", I said when I entered the garage, but I didn't get an answer. "Luke? Are you here?" Maybe he was going for a walk. I sat down on the couch and grabbed a book, maybe my thoughts about my parents would go away when I read something. I was so wrong, it even hurts more, I couldn't concentrate on even one word I read in these 20 minutes. I can not believe my parents are not accepting me. What if they will never talk to me again? What if I had lost them forever? The tears ran down my cheek and I didn't even notice that Luke entered the garage. I just sat there crying on the couch. "Alex?", I heard a voice "Oh my god is everything ok with you? Why are you crying?" I knew I needed to tell him now. Everything. "Hey, I need to tell you something..." Luke came closer and then sat on the couch next to me with a little wrinkle between his eyebrows. "I- I- I don't know how to say this." I waited a short time before finally saying: "I am gay." I could see in his face that he was a little surprised. "But what's wrong with that? Why are you crying? It is completely fine to have feelings for the same gender or is it something different?" "My parents, they don't accept me that way..." I looked into his eyes and saw the anger in them. "Ok wait, so you are telling me your parents don't accept you?" I nodded. "Wow then they are the stupidest persons in the world, for letting you go. I will always be here for you, you know that, don't you?" When he said that, more tears ran down my face, but these tears were because he appreciated me the way I am. I looked deep into his eyes and he smiled. Then he came closer to my face, until he was so close, that I could felt his breath on my lips. "I would never push you away", he whispered, and then our lips touched. At first, I was surprised, but then I enjoyed this kiss. Our tongues started touching and it tasted so good. When we finished, I looked him in the eyes, and I smiled so hard. I couldn't believe this really happened. He grinned back and I leaned in for another kiss.

"So, are you staying here at the garage too?", Luke smiled and raised his eyebrows with a flirty look on his face. "I think so if this is ok for you", I responded and kissed him. At that moment, the garage door opened, and Reggie and Bobby went in. "What the fuck is happening?", Bobby shouted and stared at me and Luke.
