Hey Jude (The Fosters fanfic)

Dinner Party

3 Months Later

Connor. My destruction... My happiness.
He makes me feel me. Connor has been the root of attention on my mind for a while now and I have nothing exciting in my life. I'm not living it just existing!
I am not the same, I don't know what I'm doing with my life. I need a change... something new.
I need something new.

Finally I get the feeling to reach and keep myself still comfortable. I click my phone to see the home screen.
11:50 a.m Saturday November 24
I set my phone back to its spot on my nightstand next to me with the clock.
Cold now seeping through the tiny cracks and openings under my covers and I finally give in and get up. Walking to the mirror in my bathroom I brush and rinse and do the normal cycle. Then it hits me. The great idea of changing my appearance. Doubt comes in to my mind and I can't help it and I remind myself how unhappy I'm becoming and "living". This is what I need and then I grab the hair dye, needle, and scissors. Change has began and it's a storm.
Rushing through the cold hall I'm grab the railing going down as if nothing has changed until...
I turn around the corner and hear regular chattering as usual, I'm the last to breakfast. I have a new attitude arising and it feels great, maybe even I feel a little more confidence and less innocent. Walking in to the kitchen with the normal chatter I grab the door handles to the refrigerator when all I feel is staring to my back if my hair and outfit and I take a breath.
Remember this is good... Good... Good.
Breath in
Out.
In.
Out.
Ok... You can do this, I thought. My body turns to face them and shock has waved through the kitchen to all of their faces. It's silent execpt for the toast cooking in the toaster.

"Wow new look..."  Moma Lena begins.
"Yea, something wrong." I say a little more rude than I meant to be.
" Well... You look nice." Mom Stef announced "Right Guys?" And a muttered wave of positive answers comes to me.
"Well if you need me I'm going to go and watch some tv at least until Connor gets here so we can leave. Ok?"
"Yea sure..." Mom Stef assures and then...
"Wait!" Mom Stef says "I'm sorry I forgot sweetie we have an announcement." Mom Stef has a bigger smile comes around her wrapped face.
"Your not going anywhere... Because we're throwing a dinner party and Connors dad is coming over to!" A look of expecting positive shock there waiting for and so I decide to give it to them.
"Awesome!" I say and turn around to walk by the mirror and finally notice.
Red shorter hair with a nice edgy look and a nose pricing thanks to Marianna's old phase of trying to change too. With my rock hard outfit I used of both mine and Marianna's outfit of a jean sort of look and I realize I couldn't be happier.

*** The Next Day
November 25 2015
4:38 p.m

I'm sitting in the living room watching t.v and I see Connors car pull up.
"MOMS ... FAMILY!!!!" I yell.

My excitement gets the best of me and I see something weird. A woman?

Ding ding.
Suddenly the whole family is here and my boyfriend is to but I won't relax until I figure out this mystery figure.
Stupid me so bluntly says "Who's this?" before Connor could even hug me hi.

"Well this is my girlfriend."
Connors dad announces.
Everyone fake happy trying to be nice to each other for the sake of me and Connor. "Hi nice to meet you, I'm Jude."
I smile and say so innocently.
"You bought pumpkin pie!" Jesus says and Callie and Brandon try to offer to take it to the table with the rest of the dinner.
So far so great? I guess?

One hour later

"Let's eat!" Mom Lena says.

We all dig in as were sitting at the table eating a nice warm feast because we're "normal" ha yea right!
"So tell me about you Anna?" Which is Connors dads girlfriends name, Anna.
"Well I'm a doctor and I have three brothers and one sisters and I love romance movies and a lot."
"Amazing I like that." I say.
"So can u ask you a question?"
She asked.
"Sure." I reassure.
"What is your and Connor relationship?"
"Um. He is my boyfriend."
"Wait I thought he is your friend. Well good for you."
"You guys (she looks at Lena and Stef across both sides of the table looking back and forth) you guys married."
"Yes . Happily" mom Stef says.
" Why are you so curious is there an issue?" Marianna, Jesus, and Brandon are really quiet today.
"Actually kinda." shock flowed through all."
"How could you guys raise kids if there is not a father?"
She rudely asked. Suddenly Anna wasn't sweet pumpkin pie Anna but instead homophobic Anna.
"Excuse me" we all came in shock of who said those words.
Connors dad.
She was surprised too.
" what did you just say?!"

She stutters.
" I just asked. There DYKES THEY CANT RAISE A KID!"
She raises her voice and before anyone can say anything...
"Leave." Connors dad says quietly.
"What why?!" She tries to find out.
"LEAVE, I understand I don't always get it but I respect them either way and I ask politely with questions and I have to admit that it was difficult at first it my son IS GAY AND I AM PROUD OF MY BABY BOY FOR BEING WHO HE IS AND FOR YOU TO SAY SOMETHING HOMOPHOBIC IS DIDGISTING! We're through! Now GET OUTTA HERE!"
She finally gives up and puts her napkin on her plate and gets up and leaves.
"I'm sorry." He practically whispers and excuse himself to go to the bathroom.
Huh (huh) I scuff...

"Happy Thanksgiving." I say sarcastically and we all continue eating in silence.
