Helena Bonham Carter X Reader

chapter 14: coming out again

I woke up the next morning, with my beautiful angel in my arms. She slowly started to wake up as I watched her with a smile, just wanting to lay here forever.
"You know, it's rude to stare" she giggling, in her raspy morning voice.
"Yes, but your an exception"
"Oh am I now" she chuckled, she stroked my hair gently, twirling it round her fingers, when she hit me with a question I really wasn't expecting
"Baby" she looking up at me
"Yes my love" I said smiling down at her
"Could I meet your parents?"
"I- what? Why?" I suddenly sat up too look at her properly.
"I just, well you've met my family (btw, helena doesn't have kids in this, just thought I'd clear that up!)
And I would love to meet yours"
"Well I mean, we don't really talk anymore."
"Oh yea, you said, they don't except you do they, I'm sorry I didn't mean to bring that up again."
"No no, that's okay." I said shuffling around, that's what I did when I was lying, and she knew this. You see, I hadn't really told Helena the whole story, in fact, I'd barely scratched the surface. I'd never actually come out to my parents before.
"Darling, why are you lying to me?"
"I- I'm not." I said, trying to sound as confident as I could, but failing miserably.
"Please just tell me love"
"I- okay well I've never.... Really well, come out to my parents before"
"What?" She furrowing her eyebrows
"I- well I knew I was gay, since I was like 13, but my parents are highly religious and knew they'd never except me, so when I was 15, I ran away from home. I think my parents only really had me for religious reasons to be honest, they never showed me any affection, I think they just needed to show people they loved eachother, and having a child was the perfect way to do it, some people just aren't meant to be parents I guess."
"Oh baby! Where did you go?" She said sitting up in bed with me.
"Nowhere really, I stole and traded shit for money, I had to keep on the move incase someone saw me, then one day, I thought, what the fuck an I doing with myself?! I got a job, payed for my education and got my own apartment, it took a while, but I did it, all by myself, then I met you and the rest is history."
Helena never really brought up my parents agin after that, weeks went by with us just getting on with life, until one day, Helena got a letter.
"Hon, someone's sent me a letter but it says to y/n at the top, here you go!"
I ripped it open, only to see it had come from my parents address...
"I- I just need the toilet" I ran to read it by myself, I didn't need Helena worrying over me. It read:
Dear y/n,
Hello, it's your father, jon y/l/n, I know I'm probably the last person you want to hear from but I recently saw moved in with your wonderful friend Helena Bonham carter. ha! Friend, if only he knew. We would really love to get to know you again, after all, you are our daughter, here is our number, if are interested (insert number)  may God bless you,
Sincerely, Doc. Y/l/n
It was a rather short letter, but long enough to make me worry. I walked out to meet Helena in the kitchen.
"Are you alright love? You look awful pale. Who was the letter from?"
"My father." I said blatantly, she wore a shocked look on her face as I handed her the letter.
"He wants to meet me."
