That night at dinner I told my parents about Luke, still not mentioning LA.
“Why him?” my mom asked me, she found it ridiculous that I even liked the band so much and now I’m dating one of the members, she found the whole thing absurd.
“Because he makes me feel special.”
“Any first boyfriend is going to make you feel that way.” My dad said.
“Why are you guys being so difficult about it?” I yelled at them, now becoming fed up with their shit. “We meet, we’ve talked, and he even came to visit me so we could go on a date.” I said lying about the date, it being the other way around.
“You wanna know why?” my mom yelled, getting frustrated at my attitude and persistence.
“Yes!”
“He’s famous Katharine! Do honestly think it’s going to work out? He’s not going to stick around! He’s an opportunist!” my dad shouted at me.
“HOW DO YOU KNOW, YOU NEVER MEET HIM! YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT HIM!” I screamed, tears filling my eyes; them taken back at my reaction and standing up to them. “Luke isn’t like that! He wouldn’t do that! We’re dating, it’s happened, you’re going to have to live with that!” I took a breath before continuing, “I’m not asking you to like him; I’m asking you to meet him! Beside I don’t care if you like him or not, this is my life and I’m going to do what makes me happy!” I shouted at them taking deep breaths from yelling, tears now falling down my face.
“We just don’t want you to get hurt.” My mom said quietly.
“I know.” I sighed, “But I’m going to get hurt with anything I do. I know he’s my first boyfriend and him being famous doesn’t help, but he’s in my life and I’ve never been happier. It’s my choice; I can’t spend my whole life hiding from something if I don’t try.”
“You’re really serious about him?” my dad asked.
“Yes. He’s not what you think. He likes me for me and makes me feel beautiful.” I said, saying that last word with a smile. “And if I do get hurt then . . . you can tell me I told you so.” I added quietly, tears still rolling down my face.
“No we wouldn’t do that to you.” My mom said walking over to me and hugged me as I cried into her shoulder.
“You really want us to meet him?” my dad asked after a minute.
“Yes, just give him a chance.” I sobbed and my mom and dad looked at each other and sighed.
“How about tomorrow?” my mom asked and I looked up at her.
“Are you serious?” I asked.
“Yes, we’ll meet Luke.” My dad began, but I quickly cut him off with a big hug.
