chapter 15: the meeting

⚠️tw! Homophobia and use of f slur⚠️
he wants to meet me." I said, Helenas face dropped instantly,
"What? Why? Has something happened at home?"
"Nope, I think he just wants to get to know me again after I've become famous, look at the middle bit, he thinks I'm living with my "best friend" the wonderful Helena Bonham Carter" I said rolling my eyes
"Best friend?" She laughed
"Yeah, I know, he still hasn't caught on" I said giggling
"Well, are you going to meet him?" She said, her tone more serious now
"I think so, well I hope so, I want to see my mother again, she was always, I don't know, just a bit more loving than he was. I'm going to text him just now." I typed in the number and sent him a message:
Hello father,
Its me your "long lost" daughter y/n,
I would like to meet you again,
Me and my best friend Helena could come for Sunday lunch this week?
I am looking forward to seeing you again, y/n.
It was far to formal for my liking but I had to sound enthusiastic.
So it was settled, I was going too meet him again, not that I wanted to, I just had to tell him, Helenas not my best friend, she's my girlfriend, but I didn't really know how to say that.

~later that evening~

"So, are you going to come out to him then?"
"Its not really that simple hellie."
"I know love, you'll be fine though."
"Yeah I mean, I'm going to say it, I love you and I want him to know that, but just know Hellie, that no matter what happens, it's you over him."
"Darling, i shouldn't be more important that your family" she giggled
"You the only family I have my love, I love you."
"I love you too my darling."
We went to bed, my thoughts filled with nothing but dread about how tomorrow was going to go, but I'd be okay as long as I had Helena with me.

~next morning~

"Okay lovely, time to go!" I called out to Helena, she came down wearing the most beautiful dress, I couldn't wait to show her off.
"Wow- i-" I breathed, she was truly wonderful.
"Oh stop it" she blushed
"Shall we ma lady?" I said, linking arms with the angel I called my own
"Yes, thank you butler" she said giggling.
(I'm going to switch to 3rd person from now on!)
You arrived at around 11am, as you got closer to the house you were once brought up in, your heart raced faster and faster as your breathing became more uneven. Helena gently reached for your hand and held it as you got out of the car, and walked up to the front door, you knocked loudly and as foot steps approached Helena quickly dropped your hand, dusting herself off.
"Ah, y/n, it's lovely to see you!" You father greeted you, holding his hand out for you to shake.
"Hello father, this is Helena, my gir- best friend, the woman I recently moved in with."
"Ah yes, helena, lovely to meet you" he said, as Helena politely shook his hand
"Do come inside ladies, it's awfully cold out"
You walked in to the house, not a thing had changed, all the same photos on the wall, the same tables, carpet, it even looked like the flowers were the same. You walked through to the dinning room at the back off the house and your mother was sitting there.
"Oh! Hello y/n, your here, wonderful to see you again!" She walked over and gave you a polite hug, but you could tell she wanted to squeeze the hell of you, almost as if she'd missed you. You all sat down for dinner, you weren't sure when to bring up Helena but the right time soon found its self. Just as you were finishing up your meal, you mother spoke up.
"So, y/n, obviously your living with Helena but have you got a boy friend at the moment?" You had just taken a huge flip of water and you almost spat it all out again after shed asked you that. Helena tried her best to conceal her laughter, but a small smile crept its way into her face.
"I- well" you spluttered" I wanted to talk to you about that."
"Go ahead" you father said
"Well I- helena, is well- oh my goodness why is this so hard to say! Helena is my girlfriend, I'm gay." You looked at the table in shame, Helena reaching for you hand in secrecy.
"What?!" Your father started to shout
"No, no your not, it's a phase y/n, there's no such thing as gay!" He said, standing up.
"Yes there is! I love Helena, she is the woman I want to marry one day! I love her more than I can ever tell you, she is the most important person to me and it will always be her over you!" You got up also, helena spoke up at that moment.
"Mr y/l/n-"
"Shut the fuck up you faggot, look at what you've done to my daughter!"
Helena sat back down
"Hey! Don't you dare ever speak to her like that! You can say what ever the fuck you want to me but you NEVER insult Helena Bonham carter Infront of me! Come on love, were going!" You got up, grabbing Helena's hand and dragging her out. You got to the front door and turned round to your father.
"Don't you ever call me, talk to me or try to reach out again! I hate you!"
With that, you slammed the door, got into the car and drove away.
"Are you okay darling?" Helena asked sounding genuinely concerned. You burst into tears and pulled over at the side of the road.
"Hey hey hey! Baby it's okay!" She crawled over to you and held you in her arms
'i- I hate them! I'm so sorry Helena! I can't believe he said that to you!"
"Its okay my love, it's okay."
