The next day my mother seemed fine, somehow she couldn't hide it very well why she was frighteningly quiet, but I decided to keep a low profile, she couldn't possibly know that I knew anything.
- So mom, do you have any plans for today? –
- No and you, any special plans with Amber and Rachel? – - In truth no -
- Well then I guess we'll both stay at home -
– It seems so –
"Mom, I...wanted to talk to you about the one thing—"
"Look, I also need to talk to you about something."
It was the moment I knew my mom was going to tell me about that guy, I didn't think it would be that easy for her to reveal it right away, I felt like my heart was going to jump out of my mouth and I didn't even know exactly how to react
– I met a very special person while you were away at summer camp –
"Oh, that's... cool—"
- Look, I know you don't like to go through changes, but... -
- Mom, it's okay, I understand -
Of course I wasn't completely ok with that idea, but I didn't want to hurt my mother even though our relationship wasn't the best, but from the amount of things she said it seemed like she knew the guy she was seeing more than she did. , his name was Mark, a guy from the accounting department where my mom worked, even though I didn't know him he seemed kind of nice, and my mom certainly really liked him and far be it from me to want to meddle in my mom's business but I think that I still wasn't as ready as my mother for such a sudden change, but my mother could understand and wanted to take it little by little and decided to wait until I could accept the idea of having a new person in our lives. I was so worried about the news that I forgot I was going to tell my mom about Jay.
– But what about you dear? What were you going to tell me? –
- Oh... nothing, I'm just happy for you mom -
"Do you mind if I go for a walk?" –
- Sure honey! Just be careful and take a coat huh –
After hearing my mum talk about the new guy she was seeing, I didn't have the heart to tell her about Jay, I don't know what had come over me, I just kind of felt like it wasn't the right time, so I went to meet Jay in the cafeteria and I had told him that I couldn't tell my mom, he was confused and had asked why I changed my mind and I just told him it didn't seem like the right time, and also that I would wait a little longer, Jay he felt it would be a little risky to hide it for too long, my mother might find out about it eventually.
– Jay, I would love for you to meet my mother, but she is a little judgmental – "Okay, I don't care, as long as she knows."
I knew that Jay wanted to avoid being discovered in the worst possible way, but I didn't know if my mother would receive him in the best possible way, she still deep down
I had issues with my being gay, but I tried to at least "accept" it as best I could. But of course I wasn't going to tell Jay that she was completely against him per se, although I loved his look, it wasn't exactly the best to make a good impression on my mom, but I would never ask Jay to change who he is just to impress my mother, I thought he was perfect, I loved his look and his tough bad boy style, and if I liked him that way my mother was going to have to accept him like it or not, and when I said that to him, he just said the same thing about me and that he would change absolutely nothing about me, and then he agreed with me that my mother had to accept him anyway.
When I got back home, my mother said she had something to tell me, in the midst of that I panicked, I couldn't imagine what she would have to say to me after the "bombshell" she had already dropped on me about Mark , I just sat down on the table and felt my hands shaking with nervousness.
– I thought well, and I have to talk to you about it –
– I invited Mark to dinner here today –
That was the most tense moment I had ever gone through, I didn't even know what to answer, I was in shock for at least 5 minutes without really believing it, that's when I decided to tell her about Jay, which at the time was the only thing I could think of to get myself out of the situation and also told her that maybe she should meet him, the next moment I desperately texted Jay saying he had to come to my house for dinner, he had stayed confused by the situation and I just said it was an emergency, and while I was trying to deal with my sudden stress, Jay had only one thing on his mind and that was trying to make a good impression on my mother, he had asked Zack to speak with Amber to help him change his look because he didn't think my mother would approve of him,Jay then asked my friends to help him with this issue, Amber and Rachel had completely changed him, the look, appearance and even the way he acted.
After a long day trying to figure out how to survive this dinner, I had prepared myself even though I was a nervous wreck, when I went downstairs I saw my mother preparing the table, when suddenly I heard the bell ring, I had come across Mark he was a very well dressed guy in a suit and tie and he was very strict, I was completely nervous, minutes later I hear the bell ring again but this time when I looked in the door I saw a super well dressed guy with a polo shirt and tie and super black jeans formal with a bouquet of roses, when I got a closer look I had realized it was Jay, I barely recognized him and was in total disbelief, Jay said he was trying to look more presentable which way he said he was I wanted to impress my mother, but I got a little upset,as much as I wanted my mum to like him, it felt like I was tricking her into not showing the real guy I fell in love with, but she on the other hand welcomed Jay with open arms and had found him the perfect guy for me, I tried not showing much the fact that I wasn't comfortable with Jay being kind of "disguised", during dinner everyone was in absolute silence, it even seemed a little embarrassing everyone sitting there and standing there like robots, until Mark started talking directly to me with many questions which made the situation even strangerI tried not to show too much the fact that I wasn't comfortable with Jay being kind of "disguised", during dinner everyone was in absolute silence, it even seemed a little embarrassing everyone sitting there and standing there like robots, until Mark started talking directly to me with many questions which made the situation even strangerI tried not to show too much the fact that I wasn't comfortable with Jay being kind of "disguised", during dinner everyone was in absolute silence, it even seemed a little embarrassing everyone sitting there and standing there like robots, until Mark started talking directly to me with many questions which made the situation even stranger
- So... Nate, um how's school going -
- Oh I'm fine I think! – When I said that my mother had clearly interrupted me and started talking to Jay
– So Jay, do you and Nate go to school together? - And then I almost choked on the water and didn't even let Jay answer- Yeah mom, Jay sits across from me in social studies class -
There were certain things that I certainly wanted to keep my mother from
knowing, like the fact that Jay was much older than me, but as if it wasn't enough that I had to hide from my mother who Jay really was, I still I had to deal with Mark, it's not that he was a bad guy, but every minute that passed I felt like this situation couldn't be any more embarrassing, even though my mom wasn't very happy about the situation, when I looked at Jay he was certainly very calm and at certain times he tried to talk back to my mother still maintaining the nice guy attitude, but every time she coerced me Jay got even more furious, I tried to calm him down several times but it was no use, so that's when Jay completely lost my mind,he certainly started to feel bad and forced my mother to apologize to me, but of course I brought up another subject to try to soften his situation and that's when my mother really saw who Jay really was, Jay was gone and I I went after him, but not before I told my mom it was a disaster, I apologized to Jay and he said it wasn't my fault, and that he would never let anyone talk to me like that and swore he would always defend me of anyone, that's when I kissed him and told him I didn't like Jay who was dressed like a goofy preppy, but the strong and fierce badboy I knew,At that moment all I could feel was like there were a thousand butterflies in my stomach that I didn't even notice the fact that it was raining until the makeup that Jay used to cover his tattoos had come off, that's when I knew that I really was in love with Jay, and that nothing could keep me away from him, not even my own mother, who also now I bet she would do everything to make sure I never saw Jay again, after all after that dinner I think she was capable of grounding me for the rest of my life. rest of life now.after all after that dinner I think she was capable of grounding me for the rest of my life now.after all after that dinner I think she was capable of grounding me for the rest of my life now.
When I got back home my mom had just freaked out and when I saw we had started to argue severely, until she said I was grounded, I went up to my room, and I didn't stop crying until I fell asleep not being able to believe that my own mother had said all those horrible things to me and still On top of offending the person who was defending me, despite what happened that night, the only thing that comforted me was the fact that Jay really was going to always have my back.
