Chapter 4

Jude's POV
"What are you two doing?!" shouted Jésus.

"We were...Umm-" I say.

"All right we were kissing. I love Jude so much, I couldn't resist to stop." Connor told him.

"Oh, I didn't know you two had feelings for each other. I'm just going to go back downstairs now." Jésus said, awkwardly.

Connor's POV
I look at Jude as he looks down at the floor.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just haven't told my family how I feel about you. And when Jesus walked in on us, I thought that he wouldn't like me as a person anymore. I'm just not sure how they're going to take it." he says.

"Don't worry, I'm sure they'll accept you. Listen Jude, your family would never disown you, they love you and care about you, just as much as I do." I reply, smiling.

"Thanks. I'm ready to tell them." he tells me with confidence.

"Right now?"

"Right now." he responds.

Jude's POV
Connor and I walk downstairs and into the kitchen. Brandon, Callie, Mariana, Jesus, and moms are already there when we enter.

"Hey Jude, what's up?" asks Stef.

"I have something to tell you guys."

"We're listening." says Lena.

"All my life, I've known I was different. I was never interested in girls. I didn't feel anything special towards them. But, when I met Connor, my heart knew. I'm gay." I tell them nervously.

After confessing, I was embraced in a group hug. Brandon, Callie, Mariana, Jésus, and moms were surrounding me. I felt like I couldn't breathe because they were squeezing me so hard. I enjoyed it though, every moment of it. They all pulled back and Lena spoke.

"Sweetie, we love you no matter what. We're so lucky you're a part of this family, it wouldn't be the same without you here. It's okay to tell us anything, I'm glad you told us about this. As long as you're happy, we'll support you." she tells me.

I nod my head in relief. I'm glad to be a part of this family too. I smile, then I look at Connor.

He smiles back and opens his arms in for a hug. I close the open space and lean my head against his shoulder. It feels so right, to be in his arms. I feel safe.

Connor's POV
I can't believe Jude actually did it. I'm so proud of him, I couldn't be any happier. We both lay on the couch, intertwining our fingers. His hand feels warm and I enjoy it. We lock pinkies and I blush.

He stares at me and I stare back at him. I look into those beautiful brown eyes, he's so cute. I lean in a little closer and our noses start to touch. I'm so glad he's mine. He's all mine. I kiss him and my heart beats faster.

"I love you."

"I love you too." he says with a cheeky smile.
