I Know You're the One

Chapter 4

"You ready?" Philip asks, nervously while holding Lukas's hand on Helen and Gabe's front porch.

"Ready as I'll ever be." Lukas replies, equally as terrified.

Both boys had gathered their parents at Helen and Gabe's place to break the news. What news, neither boy knew. They could be telling their parents that they're gay, or maybe that they're dating, or even that they are soulmates. Probably all three at once. Philip's left hand feels sweaty in Lukas's right, for there was a lot at stake here. Lukas could be kicked out or told to never see Philip again. The thought of that broke Lukas's heart into a million little tiny pieces. 

Philip knew  for sure that Helen and Gabe would be accepting of their relationship. They already knew he was gay anyway. He was more worried about Lukas's father. He seemed like the type of guy that was homophobic, but Philip wasn't sure. He knew that Mr. Waldenbeck didn't like him, maybe even despised him for that matter. 

Philip reaches out to open the front door, but then stops.

"Are you sure you're ready?" He asks nervously.

"Yes Philip, let's just get this over with." Lukas replies.

Philip opens the door to see the face of an angry Mr. Waldenbeck.

"What's all this about Lukas? Why did you drag me here?" He shouts.

Lukas winces. "Dad, this is gonna sound kind of strange. Actually, Philip should probably tell you."

Philip sighs, "Alright Mr. Waldenbeck, you should probably sit down before I tell you this." He sits.

"Your son and I, well, we're kind of..." he trails off.

"You're kind of what?" He asks impatiently.

Philip reaches out and pulls up the sleeve of his sweatshirt, revealing Lukas's name on his wrist. Mr. Waldenbeck's face softens.

He turns to Lukas, "Son, I'm not going to understand this, why your soulmate is a boy instead of a girl, but that doesn't mean I can't accept it. I'll admit, it's a bit strange to me but that's ok. As long as you're happy."

Lukas looks as if he's about to cry. "Thanks dad. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner." He pulls his dad in for a hug.

And they all lived happily ever after.
