The Happytime Murders 3

Connies Comes Out

Amber slouched shaken up and upset crying her eyes out all over Bubbles after Connie's now ex boyfriend had said such vile things to her and her mother. Bubbles sighed crying as well being she was upset too remembering the pain she felt back in school from all the racism she faced.

"Oooh Amber.." Phil's voice said softly as he opened the door to Connie's bathroom where she saw Bubbles and her on the edge of the tub bawling and hugging each other.

"Why'd he have to say that to us..dad..he doesn't even know me or
Mom.." Amber sniffed as she turned to cling to Phil as he held her back.

"Cuz hes an ignorant fuck is what he is he had no right to say such things to you guys you're beautiful women who deserve love and respect. His opinion isn't worth listening to sweetheart,who you love is your business and it shouldn't be an issue to him." Phil said.

"Your fathers right but even Though I've had worse things said to me over my skin colour then what Topher told me tonight so I'm used to it but still doesn't mean it doesn't hurt me but I always remember what my daddy always said when I came home crying from school after some girls told me no one would date me because I was too dark he said 'Last time I read the definition of the word beautiful in the dictionary it didn't include the words pale or dark it says it's whatever pleases the mind whether it's physical or internal' And it's true Amber what I'm trying to say is that your whole personality shouldn't just be defined by the negative views about your sexuality just like it shouldn't be defined by how dark or light my skin is. People are gonna say stupid and mean things there's no escaping it no matter what you do to avoid it. Ya just shake it off and keep on living your best life and the right people will see who you really are" Bubbles added rubbing Ambers back.

"Wise man your dad is dear. And trust me Bubbles when I say this you are a beautiful woman and I think those high school bitches were jealous cuz they didn't look like ya" Phil said as he rocked Amber in his arms and extended his other hand out to hold Bubbles hand.Bubbles blushed and giggled at his response leaning over to kiss him.

"And that's all that matters to me Phil if you say I'm pretty I believe you and even so I don't need other people to validate my looks" She replied as she snuggled in with Amber between the two of them.

"That's right" Phil said hugging them both.

"What Topher says isn't what most people think of anyone LGBT or black thankfully" said Amber.

"Yeah thank god" Phil replied laughing at her remark. "Wanna come with me to go check and see if your aunt Connie's okay? I'm sure she's taking this real hard" he asked as Amber sat back up after crying burying her face against him and wiped her eyes.

"Yeah sure no kidding I'm sure she's just as upset too" Amber said "momma you coming?" She asked checking to see if Bubbles was doing okay.

"Oh I will later right now I should maybe see if Millie's okay too" Bubbles said

"Yeah that's a lot for even Millie to deal with right after her mom just got home" said Phil as he and Amber got up off the side of the tub and wandered back into the dining area where Connie sat crying at the table shaken. As soon as she saw Amber she got up and raced over to hug her and wouldn't stop apologizing.

"Fuck! Oh shit I'm so sorry!! That was not okay and his behaviour was absolutely unacceptable no one calls my Amber a dyke.." Connie said

"Aw hey auntie Connie it's not your fault you are not to blame for his actions I'm just happy you didn't condone or tolerate it" Amber said

"You bet your fucking ass I don't take easy to that bullshit. I dumped his ass no one talks to anyone in my family like that if he can't accept you all he's gone"

"Good for you Edwards I'm sure that was a difficult thing for you to do. Anyways we wanted to come back out after Amber collected herself to make sure you were okay.." Phil said his hand on his best friends shoulder

"Thanks Phil..and I'll be okay it's just hard hearing someone you thought you loved turn like this so suddenly and say such degrading things it just affected me a lot.." Connie said starting to break back down again.

"Awww no don't cry..it's okay.. you did the right thing he doesn't deserve a peach like yourself he lost any good chance he ever had tonight.." Phil said as he hugged her.

"I know.." Connie managed to say as Amber and Phil sat and comfort her. For the next few minutes Connie just sniffed while Phil stroked her hair in a affectionately brotherly manner as Amber just sat doing the same thing while squeezing her hand.

"..Man you sure are emotional especially with seeing the way Topher treated Amber.." Phil said

"Yeah well...hey uh Phil I feel like I should tell you something tonight..that maybe you should have known from the moment we first became friends. It's also another good reason as to why I reacted the way I did tonight not only do I not like the way my family who been there through the worst of times was shit on but also this too.." Connie sighed nervous

"What is it? Edwards nothing you'll say would ever make me stop being your best friend and cop partner. You can tell me anything.." Phil said

"Phil..I'm uh I'm gay.." Connie managed to say

"Wait what?" Amber said surprised

"Mhmm Well technically bisexual or bi but ya I like both guys and girls but find I've been having a preference and attraction to more women so yeah.." Connie said shaky

"What? That's it? Edwards I already know" Phil said laughing

"You did? What?" Connie said shocked

"Oh I've known the moment you were drunk rambling back in the academy days and were talking about how you wanted to bang this one girl from our classes I didn't say anything or wanted to ask cuz I knew that was personal and you'd tell me"

"Omg I did that? Oh man" Connie laughed awkwardly and then continued "what if I told you I Uh May or not may not have gotten laid with that same girl a few weeks later before that big party"

"I knew about that too you got so drunk afterwards and ended up spilling the details to me when you were stumbling and I had to walk you back to your dorm room" Phil said

"Well That was easier then I thought.." Connie giggled

"Why would you ever think I was gonna change my opinion solely based on who you are into Edwards I have a gay daughter for Christ's sake I don't care!"

"No I know it's just a little different when it's coming from your cop partner and friend and I was worried about that plus bisexual have been seen as whores and attention seekers and I was afraid of that mindset but oh shitcakes I'm so glad you don't think of me like that"

"Hey you're into what you're into for Christ's sake again I don't even care. You're still my best friend and the same Connie I know and always makes me laugh that's all that matters. Look I love you!..You're like my sister" Phil said smiling as he hugged her close leaning his head against hers

"Aw man good I love you too Phil. Thank you so much" Connie said her head resting on his shoulder.

"Alright well welcome to the club" Amber joked as she embraced Connie as well

"Thanks kiddo" Connie said ruffling Ambers curly black hair

"Millie know?" Phil asked

"Yeah I just told her earlier when you and Amber were in the bathroom Millie was so accepting and great" Connie replied

"Aw well good to hear also I'm glad to know I'll have another person to ogle at Angelina Jolie with me and Jade while watching Mr and Mrs Smith" Amber joked as the three of them laughed.

"Oh ya she definitely is a looker. She is hot" Connie admitted

"Yes she is. I'm really glad to know you both have good taste in beautiful women even while Amber has a girlfriend and I am a married man" Phil teased playfully elbowing Amber and Connie.
