both of our heads whipped around to my dad , horrid expression on his face . " jude " that's all he could do , utter my name , mike removed himself and mouthed ' i'll text you ' . he understood that this was serious for the two bellingham men at the moment , he took ashton and left .

" you're gay ? " he asked clenching his fists , i could only sigh " dad-" " you're , gay . when were you gonna tell us ? " a long dramatic pause between each word . i couldn't even respond , my eyes kept darting at my father's face and the floor repeatedly " answer me jude . " his voice stern . " i-i don't know . " his face and mannerisms beamed disappointment " your mother sent me to pick you up cause of your injury , i see you have other priorities straight "

he helped me with my crutches and into the car , it was silent and only the ambience of music was heard from the radio . " why didn't you tell us ? " i had to be very careful now , he was driving and i wasn't ready to loose my life . " i was planning to , soon and even introduce him but you know- hectic . " we stopped at a red light and he turned to me " your gonna have to break off all contact with him . he's probably a distraction , and you don't need any now " my jaw basically dropped there was no way i was leaving mike without explanation , i just can't .

" but dad-" " when we get home . your mother needs to know " i folded my arms and sat angry , what if it would get worse . my mom would mostly be concerned of my injury , not who i'm kissing . i get inside with my father's help and go to my room , my mom saw my eyes they looked glossy as if i was going to cry . i actually did , i didn't even care about my fucking leg it's that i love mike . it took me forever to tell him i loved him and now it's just- gone . thrown away .

small sobs and tears fall from my eyes , i wipe them quickly no you shouldn't be crying . soon there was a knock on the door , i really didn't care anymore so my mouth refused to open . it creaks open to reveal my mother , " jude ? " i just bury my face in the pillow . i didn't want to see anyone , not even my mother .

weight creaked down my bed and i refused to look . warm hands started rubbing my back " baby , what's wrong ? " i sensed the sadness in her voice so i turned to her . my eyes were their own river , their is two types of pain affecting me right now . the pain of this injury and the pain of loosing mike . " you wanna talk about it ? " her voice was soft and soothing , it was welcoming and i needed someone to talk to .

" mom i- i've found someone . . . "

" oh who's the lucky girl ! "

i gulped , my heart started to beat faster and i tries to avoid eye contact but somehow it'll always end up back at her . " well ? " " they're not a girl " seems she got the message pretty quick when she nodded her head and made a ' mhm interesting ' face . " so , when are we gonna meet him ? " she smiled at me politely . " what ? " " when are we gonna meet your lucky guy ? " i couldn't believe it . she was understanding ? i felt a smile creep onto my face and a confirmed one on her face . " jude , i knew . i had my suspicions and they so happened to be true " her laugh echoed in my room. my arms were already extended and wrapped around her in a big hug , " thank you . "

she just started to play with my hair as i rested on her shoulder . " i'll support you in everything baby , we've got to meet him ! when you're ready . . . that is " she grinned , i smiled " thank you ma . " she switched the conversation , " how's your leg ? do we need to go to the physio immediately ? " i shake my head no " my leg feels alright " . my mom nods her head and turns to the door , " just call for us if you need anything okay ? " she leaves and i cover my face with my hands sighing should i text him ? i plug my phone from the charger and immediately go to messages to text mike .
