JUDES POV
"Out of my way you stupid fag!" A kid in one of my classes named Bryce yelled at me. We were in the lunch line at school,"um I'm sorry but this is my spot in line," I replied. "Oh yeah! My bad!" Bryce said sarcastically, I rolled my eyes and faced forward ignoring him. "Roll your eyes one more time!" Bryce said pissed and he raised his fist and brought his arm back about to punch but one of his friends that was standing next to him the whole time stopped him and said,"wait! Don't touch him you might turn gay!"and they all laughed.
Then out of nowhere Clara came up and punched Bryce so hard in the face he fell to the ground. She got on her knees and punched him again and again and in between punches she said "no one. Messes. With. My. Brother!" Through gritted teeth. By this time the whole cafeteria is watching and here comes mama with the principal.
"You 3, my office!" The principal yelled pointing at Bryce and his 2 friends. "And you 2, my office," Lena said basically yelling at my sister and me. I could hear the disappointment in her voice.
We got to Lena's office and sat down in the chairs in front of her desk. Lena walked behind her desk but didn't sit doe she just paced back and forth.
She turned to us and yelled,"What the hell was that!?"
Clara cleared her throat and said,"well Bryce and his dumb crew were being total dicks about my brother being gay and I guess I blew up,"
Mama came around and sat on her desk in front of us she tilted her head back slightly and pinched the bridge of her nose.
"Mama it was my fault, I-," I started but Clara cut me off,"no,jude, this is not your fault! It's not your fault you are gay, and being gay is nothing to be ashamed of! You should be proud of who you are. It's also not your fault Bryce is an asshole!"
"Hey language, please honey!" Lena said sternly.
"Sorry mama, they were just so mean and they deserved a lot more then they got," Clara apologized. "Clara, you know very well that violence is never the answer," Lena said in a strict tone.
CLARAS POV
It finally started kicking in what I had done and how much trouble I will be in. All I can think about is how disappointed Stef is going to be. She is going to be so mad. I love Stef and Lena and my family more than I have ever loved anything and the thought of disappointing them makes me sick.
Tears built up in my eyes and I looked up at mama and can see how disappointed she is and the tears spilled I put my face in my hands.
"Jude why don't you go back to class, we will talk about this later," mama said standing up, "okay, mama, Clara, I'm sorry," Jude said and left Lena's office closing the door behind him.
"Clara come here," mama said holding her arms out. I stood up and walked into my mamas arms. She wrapped her arms around me and I had my arms bent against her chest. I nested my head into her shoulder. "Mama I'm so sorry," I sobbed."sweety don't cry," mama said kissing the top of my head. "Do we have to tell mom?" I asked. "Baby you know we need to," she told me. "Am I suspended?" I asked about to cry again. "Well hon you did beat a kid up," mama answered. I sighed, "can I call mom? I want to tell her," I asked. I'd rather mom hear it from me than from mama. "Are you sure sweetheart? I mean I can call her," mama said,"I think maybe I should tell mom," I replied. Mama let go of me and we walked behind her desk. She picked up the phone and dialed a bunch of numbers and then handed it to me. I put the phone up to my ear and listened to it ring.
Finally I heard her voice. "Hey love what's up?" "Mom?" I asked. "Clara?" She asked back. "Um I-I got in a fight. This boy was making fun of Jude and I punched him," I said feeling guilty."you punched him!?" Mom practically yelled through the phone. "Um multiple times," I said feeling even more guilty. "Let me talk to mama please," my mom demanded with disappointment. I handed the phone to mama and sat back down burying my face into my hands crying again.
I was to busy crying to hear the rest of the conversation but Lena hung up the phone and walked over to me. She rubbed my back and said," mom is going to come get you okay?" Softly. I nodded my head and said "mmhmm" quietly.
There was a knock on the door and Stef came in,"alright let's go," she told me angrily. "Stef," Lena warned.
I stood up with my head still down. I can't even look at Stef. We walked towards the door and stopped right before it.
"I will see you at home, I love you," Lena said.
"Love you," Stef answered.
"Love you," I said quietly.
Stef put her hand on my back and led me out of the office.
We got in the car and pulled out of the parking lot.
"Clar I am very proud of you for sticking up for your brother, it could have been handled a lot less violent and don't tell mama I am telling you this but I am very proud," Stef told me.
I looked up at her, "really?" I asked my voice still crackly. She looked over at me with a smile and she expression changed quickly to a worried look. I was about to ask "what" but she spoke up before I could,"my love, look at you," she said.
I figured she was talking about my puffy red eyes and the snot running down my face. She pulled over on the street.
I looked down again and fiddled my thumbs. "I just- I knew you were going to be disappointed and I love you and mama and my siblings so much and I don't want you to be disappointed," I said My breathing started to get shallow and quick and my face got hot and red.
"Hey, baby, breathe, breathe," Stef said trying to calm me down. I breathed in and out slowly and relaxed.
She pushed my hair behind my ear and said very softly,"Baby you are being way to hard on yourself. We aren't going to love you any less for standing up for your brother, you hear me?"
I nodded and she pulled me in to give me a kiss on the cheek and I whispered, "mom I'm so sorry,"
"My love, I love you more than you could ever know and nothing is going to ever change that. How about when we get home we have a little cuddle time to relax before mama comes home? " my mom said sweetly.
"I could use a mommy cuddle," I said with a smirk, "oh and mom, I love you too," I added.
Stef smiled and winked and we drove the rest of the way home.
