Can this be?

Chapter 50

Tobins POV
It was finally 1:40 and I decided it was time to go by Alex's to pick her up for the lunch with her mom.

I dressed very simple; black skinny jeans, white v-neck, white converse, and my hair in a ponytail. I really didn't have to dress to impress.

I headed out to the car starting the short drive to Alex's apartment and I saw her on the parking lot side walk on her phone.

I parked the car right in front of her and she looked up smiling, then hopped in.

"Ready?" I ask and she nods smiling.

I shift the car into reverse, backing out of the parking lot then starting the drive to the cafe thinking about all the possibilities on how Alex could react.

"Tobs, you okay?" Alex asks in concern. I shake the thoughts out of my head putting on a smile and nodding.

In no time, we make it to the cafe and there are barely any cars in the parking lot so I choose the closest one to the door. It's Saturday and I'm kinda lazy.

Alex and I both hop out of the car making our way to the door and before we made it inside, I opened the door allowing Alex to walk in first, then I grabbed her hand intertwining our fingers.

Alex smiles at the gesture and I smile back then look around seeing if the familiar face from yesterday was here and to my luck, she sat at a booth towards the back wall.

Alex didn't seem to notice her so I pulled her along until we were about a good 15 feet in front of the booth and the two of them locked eyes making Alex stop dead in her tracks.

Alex's mom sat shocked written all over her face and you could see the tears start to form in her eyes while Alex on the other hand looked in disbelief at who was sitting right in front of her.

I walked forward again dragging Alex to the booth and and Alex snapped her head at me looking very confused but she didn't say anything as I led her to the booth and she sat down on the other side of her mother scooting down so I could sit next to her.

And awkward silence followed as Alex's mom kept starring at Alex and Alex just looked down probably still confused.

"Alex, honey I-" Alex's mom starts but Alex snaps her head up glaring at her mom.

Alex's POV

"Really? You want to call me honey after everything you've done? You don't know how hard it was to live my life knowing that I was nothing but a disgrace to you! You don't know how hard I tried to be the perfect daughter for you and dad but I just couldn't cause you know why? IM GAY! And I have been since, since I could remember. Did I want to be gay? Did I choose to be gay? No! I was born this way and you couldn't accept it!" I say to my mother feeling rage flow through my body.

I was beyond pissed right now. I was upset at Tobin because she should've at least told me we were going to have lunch with the woman who pretty much ruined my childhood love life.

I knew Tobin knew that if she told me we were going to meet with her, I probably wouldn't have agreed, but ugh, it sucks right now.

"I'm so sorry for what I've done. I know that apologizing won't help what I've done, but i regret what I did to you and I know I should've been accepting of it cause you're my daughter. I was wrong for making you go with those guys, I was wrong for saying everything I said to you. I was wrong, and I'm deeply sorry Alex. Please forgive me." My mom says breaking down into sobs and I feel a pang of sadness hit me seeing my mom cry like this in front of me.
