Connor P.O.V
Me, Jude, and Mariana ended up in a pizza resturaunt. Mariana ordered some type of pasta and Jude and I just ordered a pizza and split it.
"Soooo. How you boys enjoying the night out?!" Mariana asked us enthusiastically.
" Well Mariana. The night out started like twenty minutes ago and we didn't even get our food yet... soooo... yeah it's just sooo awesome" Jude responded and I laughed.
I really like Jude... Like as in more than a best friend. I've kissed him on the cheek maybe once or twice. But then I get embarrassed and change the subject. I sometimes hold his hand, hoping that I'll drop big enough hints that I really like him. But it seems as though he has no clue. Or maybe he does, but just decides to not mention it since he probably isn't intrested himself.
My dad isn't accepting at all. He's not even a reasonable man in general. He beats me regularly, and you think that's awful- ha!- wait till he comes home DRUNK. Living Hell, I'll tell you. I once tried to tell my dad that I might be in love with a boy- referring to Jude, but not telling him who- and he punched me across the face. To be honest, I really wasn't too shocked, at all. He had anger in his eyes, " DON'T YOU EVER TELL ME ABOUT LIKING A BOY!! MY SON WILL NOT BE A FAG!! IS THIS JUDE? IS THIS THAT BOY JUDE WHO'S MAKING YOU INTO A FAG?!!! I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING OFF ABOUT HIM AND HE WILL NOT FLIP YOU INTO ONE OF... WHATEVER THING HE MIGHT BE!! YOU GOT THAT!?" With those words, I broke down, i shook my head and cried and then I went and got an over-night bag and stayed with thte Fosters.
If Jude likes me back, I will stand up to my dad. I know Jude doesn't like being kept a secret, and I'd never wanna keep him one. I'd rather have my dad beat me nearly to death- at attempt- then I would prefer to keep me and Jude a secret. I just wish I had the gut to tell him. As me, Jude, and Mariana sit in the Italian joint, I must look pretty lost in thought, because next thing I know, Mariana and Jud's calling my name. " Oh. Huh? Yes?" I respond noticing that they'd been calling my name and the food is also in front of us.
" Jeez, Connor. You look pretty deep in thought. Whatcha thinkin' about?" Jude asks me. I don't answer right away. I sit and look at him, at his perfect pink lips, his beautiful eyes, and his brown hair. He's HOT. We make eye contact and then I lean in and kiss Jude on the lips. HE wraps his hands around my neck as I wrap my around his hips. We both close our eyes, sinking into the kiss.
" AWWWWW!!! So ADORABLE!! I totally ship you guys!" Mariana is staring at us with a giant smile, and many other people in thet resturaunt are staring too, some looking disgusted, some careless, and some are clapping. We hadn't noticed how much of a scene we'd drawn. But when everyone got back to their own business, I looked back at Jude, " Connor..." He said to me. I immediately apologized, blushing. " No Connor don't be. Please don't be sorry... 'cause when people are sorry, that means they regret it or don't mean it. I don't want you to NOT... I guess what I'm trying to say is. I like it. A lot. And I like you. A lot. More than a Bestfriend... "
" Jude. I really like you too. And I'm about to make a risky move... kust know and promise me that this will NEVER change anything between us. I understand if.... Jude Jacobs? Will you be my boyfriend?"
There are many claps and cheers. The loudest one is Mariana, of course. There are also shouts of disapproval. " Yes. Connor Stevens. Of course. Yes" He says to me. I wrap him in my arms, and we hug for a good twenty seconds, then kiss. Everyone is still staring at the scene we accidentally drew for a sceond time.
" Yayyyyy!! OMG! Jude, Con-" Jude cut her off, " Mar, can we discuss this later, tonight. Me, you, and Connor and sit and talk. Okay?" Mariana squeals and then nods a lot.
"Cool. So come on you guys, let's eat before the food gets cold!" I say. I peck Jude in the lips one final time, then we hold hands and we all start to eat.
Finally: Jude is mine. He's my boyfriend. I like that word.... Jude- Boyfriend. Yes! I pull out my phone and change his contact name to " BAE " and put the kissy-face emoji next to it with a winky-face. I've never been happier in my life. No one can ruin my happiness- not even the drunk version of my dad, or any stupid people who disapprove.
Author: Hey you guys. Sorry if I offended any homophobes... maybe if you don't like gay people YOU SHOULDNT BE READING IT. And also sorry if I offended any gays out there. Just know I ship you 110% and I absolutely hate and despise the " fag " word, just a part of my book. I'll update sometime sometimes next week. My update schedule is every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. COMMENT!!
