*screamin* a hustle cat(Mason) fanfiction

chapter 14

           I got out to help my mother with her bags. My palms were sweaty, making it a little difficult to get a good grip on the handle of her suitcase. I swallow hard and let out a little sigh in an attempt to control my heart. The hustle of the airport is drowned out by my inward panic at the sight of my mom smiling at me.

"hey ma, how was the flight?" i choke out

"oh you know, it was as good as a flight could be." she chuckles sweetly

"that's good to hear. Oh, uh this is Mason my g-roommate." i cringe at my lie

"oh it's a pleasure to meet you." my mother smiles at Mason while mason raises an eyebrow at me.

"you too." she hums.

          The ride home was a disaster. All my mom could talk about was how my sister, who is also gay, is dating a girl and how much she hated that. i actually started crying. How am I supposed to tell her? there's no way around it. I can't keep acting like I don't like Mason. She's my girlfriend for fuck's sake. I could see the pain in her eyes when she couldn't console me, and it just hurt more. When we got home i brought her things inside and went to my room to calm myself. I heard mason excuse herself and come back to me.

"hun..." she whispers behind me, wrapping her long arms around my short figure.

"i know. I need to tell her, but im so scared..." i cry

"I just hate that I can't console you like this infront of your mom." she mumbles into my hair.

"I need to tell her." i say in a ballsy moment. I wipe my eyes, spin around and plant a firm kiss on her lips, "c'mon." i grab her hand and drag her into the living room where my mom is petting my cat.

"mom. i need to tell you something." i tell her

"honey have you been crying?" she asks concerned

"yes, because i've been terrified of telling you this, but i know i need to. It's not fair to Mason if I don't." i sigh

"tell me what?"

"mom." i take a deep breath, " I'm gay. Mason is my girlfriend. She has been for seven and a half months, and I have never been more in love than I am with her." i explain

"oh..." she frowns

"I understand if you're angry, but I can't change. Even if I could why would I want to when I have the love of my life with me already?" i shrug and grab Mason's hand in mine, and give it a tight squeeze.

"I am not happy...but I understand you can't change. I in no way agree with this, but I can't change you." she says monotonously.

"okay... I hope nothing changes between us.." i whisper.

"nothing will..." she nods awkwardly.

"thank you,mom." i smile
