Momma's broken heart

"Ya are what?" My mom's voice loudly croaked.

"I'm dating Sarah." I inhaled a sharp breath. "We have been for a little over a month, Momma."

"What in the hell is wrong with ya girl?!" She abruptly stood. "Ya leave for New York straight as an arrow and ya come back a-a.."

"That's enough Evelyn." My dad grabbed my mom by the shoulders, sitting her back down onto the couch. I looked over at Sarah who looked like none of this was phasing her. Her face remained stoic and unreadable. "Listen to your daughter Evelyn."
"I-I don't know how it happened but S-Sarah makes me happy, Momma." I looked down to the floor, the same brown shag carpeting from when I was a kid laid there under my feet. "Really happy."

"This is a sin," My mom voiced. "You are goin' to hell."

"Oh shut up." Sarah finally spoke. I quickly looked up to see both of my parents had identical stunned facial expressions. "Can't you see Rose is happy with me!" My girlfriend stood, hovering over my parents now. "A woman. A woman who cares about her very, very much and would do anything in this world to make her happy." I could see tears in her chocolate brown eyes as she continued. "I can't fucking stand when people put labels on others. Lesbian, bisexual, gay.. Woman, Man. Who gives a shit? If that person makes you feel complete, whole. If you can't imagine yourself with anyone else.." Tears streamed down the actress's face now. "Then you should be with them." With that Sarah walked out of the living room and out the back door.

"How dare she talk to me like that in my own home." My mom exasperated.

"Don't ya understand?" I stood from my spot on the couch. "She's cares 'bout me. More than ya are doin' right now. If you loved me, you'd be happy for me, support me and my decisions." I stepped towards the exit. "And I choose Sarah." I made my way out of the house and into the backyard. There I saw Sarah with cigarette in hand.

"Hey," I whispered into the cool night air.

"Hey babe." Sarah waved me over to her. I sat down beside her on the old, wooden love seat and laid my head on her shoulder.

"Thank ya," I grabbed her free hand, intertwining our fingers. "for sticking up for me, us.."

"I love you, Rose." The actress pulled my hand to her lips, kissing the back of it. "It's soon and I understand if you don't feel the same way but I'm not one to keep secre-"

"I love ya too." I smiled up at the blonde. "I wouldn't be movin' to New York if I didn't."

"Oh thank God." Sarah pressed a gentle kiss to my lips. "I was afraid you wouldn't because of all of this..."

"This," I pointed to my house. "Would never effect ya and I."
