The Finding

I walk home after being with Rick. I see my mom sitting on the couch and she turns to me as soon as I walk in. She looks tense. I wonder what I did wrong now?

"So, I saw you with Rick today, and I mean, with Rick."

I look confused.

"Yea, so?" I tell her.

"Let me ask you something, um, you're with Rick, aren't you?" She asks.

I start to feel a bit worried. Oh no, I think she found out.

"What the hell Mitchell?! I thought I was going to have a son who would have a desire for women. At least lose your virinity to one. What the hell Mitchell!"

"So what, I'm gay! Why do you have a problem with me mom? Why?" I ask her.

"Nononono. I am no gonna deal with you. Mitchell, I thought I trusted you?"

She stops for a moment.

"I guess I don't have a son. Leave my home. Leave!" She demands.

"Fine, I never wanted to live here anyway, I hate you!" I yell and I run to my room to pack a bit if my clothes.

I walk out of the house and I walk to Rick's house. I knock on Rick's door and he answers quickly.

"What happened?" He asks.

"My mom found out and she kicked me out," I say as I'm crying.

I walk into his house and into his room. When we both walk in, he holds me.

"Hey, stop crying. I'm here for you babe. Look, forget about her and worry about yourself. You have me and I have you. I love you Mitch, I do. And I don't want to lose you," he tells me.

I wipe my tears.

"I love you too," I tell him.

We both lay on his bed and we sleep holding into each other's arms.
