My Days With Alex

Two Types of Parents

Alex's POV
Once I got inside I looked out of the window, and I saw my mom yelling at Tobin and then Tobin left immediately. Before I could even speak in front of my mother, I had to go to the restroom. I raced myself to the bathroom, then I looked in the mirror and saw a hickey on my left side and another down between my neck and shoulder. I was finding any makeup to cover them up, but it was too late I heard my mom scream my name.

Before I had the courage to walk downstairs I lifted my shirt to see if I had anymore, and of course I do, one by my hip, a second one over my right breast and another on my shoulder blade. I felt like I had to put a turtleneck on before I walk back downstairs to in counter my mom. I swiftly walked the wooden stairs and saw an angry mother watching my every movement.

"Where have you been young lady?" She asked in a questionable tone. "Mom you act like I ran away. Where do you think I was anyway?" I say to her not trying to raise her voice. "I don't Alex you could have been dead for all I know. I'm sorry I do not trust her with you!" She yells at me and walking closer to me, and I was hoping she wasn't about to be though mom who scans you after you have been gone for a while. "Mom she hasn't done anything wrong, and you can't stop me from being with her!" I yell back as she was walking in a circle around me like was scanning me. The only bruises I have are my soccer bruises, and I guess you can say hickeys now. "Yes I do have a way to separate ya! What is that on your neck Alex?!" She yells in a fuming tone now at me. She moves my hair, points at and just looked straight into my cold blue eyes.

"Please mom can you calm down your act like I have been hit or got pregnant" I tell her as I calmed my tone at her. "Alex don't tell me to calm down when you got those on you. (Trying to see if she had anymore on her body). Throwing your body around like its paper on the last day of school." She finally calmed her tone when she said it. "Omg mom you act like I'm a hoe now causes I have a few hickeys. You act like I slept with a hundred people in a week or in a day. Mom will it hurt you to know that I am in love with a girl not any girl but Tobin's gosh mom!" I yell at her before I saw my dad standing there shaking his head and was about to get in between us. I turned around headed to my room, slammed the door, laid in bed, took my phone out, and I scanned through my photos I took of last night and of course of Tobin. I saw on photo and I didn't recognize, and it was me asleep on Tobin's chest, and I knew she snapped that photo of us.

Alex's Dad POV
Jeri and I were in the kitchen the whole time they were arguing I know that I should have done something before it started. I heard a word that didn't seem right "hoe" I was in disbelief that this argument got to this. Jeri was staring at me like why haven't you gone out there to stop it. I got up to go in the living room as I stood there and seeing Alex making her last statement about her relationship with Tobin.

I could tell that my daughter met someone whom she truly loves and cares about, and she will do anything to prove that to us. I could tell this is a real deal relationship between them two, am I crazy to think it will last after high school maybe they could, but they are only juniors. Alex looked at me and nodded at her, so she could leave the room, so I could speak to her mother. She storms off upstairs as her mother turned around at me with her hands on her hip.

"How are you okay with all of this?" I hear her ask me. "Because she's our daughter, I will always love her and support her decision. Why can't you understand that" I tell her in a harsh tone. "It's not how I was raise you know that" she says in a soft tone and taking a seat on the couch. "I know but you need to try she's our daughter, and I don't think you want to lose her" I tell my wife as I walked towards her.

I sat next her and saw Jeri walking upstairs I guess she got tired of all the talk and the awkwardness in the room. Since that night, Pam and I haven't talked about last night and who planned it, but I felt like she would ask so I just blurted it out. "Last night me, Servando and Tobin planned that. Well more of Tobin and Servando but I brought the whole team and gave the idea to Tobin." I saw her face with disappointment about it; she shook her head and said, "wow I should have known. Did she go the game too." I looked down, and I knew my wife was going to be pissed with my answers. "Yes" that's all I could say before she got up and left the living room.

She turned towards the staircase and said, "you should see how many marks she has on her because her foolishness over that girl." I didn't really care I knew Tobin couldn't get her pregnant, and I trusted Tobin with my daughter, but since she asked me, I knew it was her wishes that I see them. She goes upstairs, and I hear a door close I walked upstairs and knock on Alex's door. I knocked a couple of times she either was listening to music, sleep or escape out of her window. I open the door, and she had her headphones on and looking at her computer, she sees me and took one headphone off of her ear.

"What I'm grounded" she says before we both giggled. "No. I'm here to look at your marks so your mother won't be mad at me all night" I tell as I walked in and took a sit on her bed. "Why does it matter? She acts like she has never done what I have done before" I hear her soft tone say. "I know trust me" I reply to her as she moved to me, and I saw two marks on her neck. One was small and other was medium I didn't care about the other places because I really didn't need to know. "I trust Tobin okay you should know that. I know it's weird to know that my daughter having sex with another girl trust me it is, but I love you anyways and will support every decision you make Alex okay." I say getting up walking out of her room before I shut the door I hear her voice says, "thank you, I love you too dad."

Hearing that makes me a proud dad I have three beautiful daughters and knowing my baby girl was in actress, an athlete and now going through these changes between love and what's not love makes me proud to see. I have seen all my girls grow up but with Alex, she might be the most mature out of them because she had a lot of responsibilities when she was young. I went back downstairs and sat in the kitchen and then saw Jeni walking in and joined me.
