Connor's POV:
"What the hell were you thinking sneaking out like that?" Dad speaks through his teeth. "What kind of idiot breaks into somebody's house in the middle of the night?!"I bite my lip, trying not to show my frustration. He keeps interrogating me,"Was it that girl-that girl Daria? Is that why you did this? Is that why you snuck out?"
I don't even like Daria. "No." I say trying to keep calm. "It's not? Its not why you did it?" Dad says trying not to show his confusion on his face. Why is he being so annoying? "No! Okay? I snuck out so I could see Jude, alright!?" I admit. The feeling of release is soon overshadowed by regret. His face tenses and he says," What does that mean?"
Oh shit. Maybe I should just tell him. He can't do anything to me now anyway; I'm already in a hospital bed. I turn away and try to find the guts to spit it out.
I let go of my breath and face him. He's standing in front of me, arms straight with his fists closed. "That means I'm gay." His fists tighten. Why can't he understand? " It means I like Jude. And you never let me see him and that's why I snuck out."
"No, no, no, my son is not a fag!" he turns away from me on his heels and rubs his head in disbelief. " Your "perfect" son isn't! But I'm not him and I never will be!" We are both shouting now. I don't care if people know how terrible my father is. I continue,"I don't even like baseball anymore! You always push me too hard. And I'm sick of trying to be what you want me to be!"
Dad gets really quiet. Does he really not know what he's doing to me? Did I go to far? "Dad?" I say calmer now that I've gotten everything out. " I need a minute." he says with his face glazed over and walks out.
Jude's POV:
Connor's dad doesn't want me to see Connor. I was really looking forward to seeing him. I need to know he's okay. Everyone tells me he is but I want to make sure he feels like he's okay."Come on, hun. We should go home." Mom says and kisses me on the head. Mama rubs my back and gives me a look that says "I love you" and "Let's go" simultaneously. I stand up and mope down the hall with moms until we're outside.
Connor's POV
The nurse walks in with her white shoes and printed smock. She looks at her clip board, looks at the monitor, scribbles something on her records all with out looking at me. Then she turns to me and smiles,"Up for visitors?" I can't help but smile and sit up a little. "Yes, yeah I am." I say and she nods and leaves.I adjust my hospital gown and re-situate myself in the small bed. He's coming. I can hear his steps. Is my dad with him? There are little steps and loud steps.The curtain swings open. It's Taylor and...her dad? I've never really met him except for you know, when he came down the stairs and shot me in the foot.
His eyes are red and puffy. He looks like he hasn't been sleeping. I'm not mad at him. We were stupid to sneak out. Taylor nudges her dad and smiles at me a bit. " I'm so sorry, Connor." seemed to be all he could get out. I give him a smile in attempt to ease his guilt. He's not a big man but he still towers over the bed. He fiddles his thumbs under the small bulge of his stomach and says"I feel terrible. If I had any clue it was a kid I would've never got the gun. I hope you can accept my sincere apologizes."
"I'm not upset with you Sir. I'm going to be fine. No worries." I say trying to seem as happy as I can. "Hey Dad, can we have a minute?" Taylor speaks up. "Oh, sure." he says and leaves.
"How's your foot?" "It hurts but the bullet only broke my tendon so all my bones are fine." Taylor nods and looks like she has something else to say but she's afraid? "Jude thinks you said it's all his fault and that your dad won't let him be your friend anymore." she says. I never said it was Jude's fault. I'm not surprised though. My dad would lie to him. I can't believe him.
"Can you tell him I never said that and that I want to see him?" I ask. "Why don't you?" she says taking out her phone. "His contact name is Judicorn." "Thank you so much, Taylor."
She's seriously so nice. I never noticed before.Jude's POV:
I hate algebra. I feel like I can't think straight. Especially because I keep thinking about Connor. I don't even know when his surgery is. What if he's in the operating room right now? *buzz* A message from Taylor pops up on my phone. I immediately ask about Connor. Sorry Taylor but you'll have to understand.It's Connor. I'm glad to talk to him but I'm confused why he would tell his dad everything was my idea. I'm just gonna ask him. Of course, Connor's dad lied. Whatever. I type," Really? R U okay?"
He's typing..
