Typo

Rejection

Shane's POV

"I have to go Mom. Ari is waiting for me at her house." I told her. I hope she will let me go.

"We have to talk. Sit please."

I reluctantly sat down on the couch next to her.

"I don't even know where to begin. You're gay? What's that about?" She asked.

I sighed. "Yes I'm gay. Does it matter?" I ask her.

She looked at me with a shocked expression. "Yes it matters. My son is gay." Her voice cracked a little and I can see her cringe when She said the word gay.

"Mom you're being overly dramatic. I like boys. So what? I'm still your son." I reassured her.

She shook her head. "No you aren't." She said nonchalantly.

I felt like a knife stabbed its way into my heart. Like she carved my heart out, slammed it on the ground, stomped on it, and then spat on the remains.

I didn't cry. I didn't dare shed a tear. As much as I'm concerned, she's no longer my mother so she's not worth my tears.

"Okay. I guess I'll see you." I told her. I get off the couch. I proceed towards the door.

"Shane I'm not done talking to you."

"I'm done talking to you, Lucille." Then I left.

Once I made it to Ari's house, I made my way upstairs.

As soon as I made it into Ari's room, I broke down crying. She looks at me confused.

"What's wrong?"

"My mom just disowned me." Is all I could get out.

"Just because you're gay? Wow she's stupid. Its her loss Shane. Really it is. You don't need her in your life. You have me and my parents. I know its not the same but at least we are here for you." She comforts me as I just quietly sobbed.

"Did you want to eat? I put your food in the fridge." She asked. I shook my head.

We just lay there in silence as she comforts me.

A couple minutes later, I hear a ding from my phone. I sniff as I take it out my pocket.

"Its Ryan." I said.

"Ryan? The guy from the internet a d the guy in our class?" She asked.

"Yeah."

A devious smile plastered across her face. A smile that can rival the grinch's smile.

"There's nothing going on. He's straight."

I reassured her. She gave me a suspicious look. I rolled my eyes.

Are you still coming tomorrow?
          -Ryan 7:00 PM

Oh yeah. I forgot. Just havg some family probls.
          -7:03 PM

Having* problems*
          -7:03 PM

"What did he say?" She asked.

I hid the screen from her because she was trying really hard to see.

"Its not anything crazy. He just asked if I'm still down to come over tomorrow." I said with no emotion.

She squealed.

"You're going over? Omg omg omg!" She shouted.

"Don't get too excited. We have a project to do." I inform her.
