Chapter 11: Over?

[JOEYS POV]

Shane and I met in September, and it's now December 5th. 4 months have passed, and they've been the best 4 months of my life. Right when everything was perfect, it suddenly seemed like my life was over.

----------------------------------------------

12 hours earlier

"Joey!" my dad yelled from downstairs

"Yeah?!" I yelled back

Of course no answer, so I had to walk downstairs to see what he needed.

"Yeah?" I asked. When I walked up to him, he was sitting down at the dining table, which was unusual.

"Your mom, she's ready to get picked up" he said with the biggest smile, he seemed so happy that my mom was better now.

"Oh my gosh...that's amazing!" I said

"Come on, let's go get her" he said, still smiling, walking to the kitchen to grab his keys.

We walked to the car and drove to the rehab she was staying at. Once we arrived, my dad and I walked in to see her. To be quite honest, I was happy but I felt like there was a part of me that gave up on her. I wanted to be excited to see her again, but it seemed almost impossible to love her the same way I did before her problem and before she left us.

We continued walking and then we saw her sitting down at a table talking. She saw us and came running, she smiled at us. She kissed and hugged my dad, then gave me a hug. We were all standing there talking, well actually my mom and dad were talking and I was just there. Once we were all done, we walked back to the car. My dad wouldn't stop smiling and looking at her, man he loved her so much.

It instantly reminded me of Shane. And how we look at each other, and how we treated each other, and how whenever he looked in my eyes, I saw not only Shane, but the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.

"Joey, how've you been sweetie?" my mom asked

I snapped out of my trail of thought and replied "Oh um well the new school is going good, nothing too exciting"

"Have you made a lot of friends?" she asked

"I wouldn't say a lot...a few" I answered

"That's nice honey" she said

"I have a boyfriend now" I stated

She turned to me, as if I had killed someone or something.

"You what?" she asked

"What do you mean..." I said a little confused

"Dave, you were okay with this?" she asked my dad

"Yeah?" he replied just as confused as me

"Since when was me being gay a surprise mom? You and dad both knew I was gay and you said you were okay with it." I told her

"I didn't know you were being serious about it!" she yelled

"WHY WOULD I JOKE ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THAT MOM?" I yelled back

"I thought it was a phase, I didn't know you were actually sticking through with it!" she said

I sat there, so confused. I honestly think my mom lost her mind while she was in rehab. Before she left she knew I was gay. I came out when I was younger and she was totally okay with it. I don't know what has gotten into her.

"This is ridiculous!" she said to herself I'm assuming

"You need to relax. I did nothing wrong. Nothing about this is ridiculous." I told her
