Loves Needs No Words

Chapter 8

"I'm nervous." Jade confessed to me after we put her last bag in my car.
"It's normal to be nervous, but remember, I'm always here for you." I told her as I closed the trunk of my car. 
     Just as I was to tell her where did she wanted to wait for them we saw them arriving.
"Okay, let's do this." She said and grabbed my hand to go inside the house that I hadn't been in almost 4 years. 
     As we all gathered in the family room Caroline look at me, still in shock that I was inside the house while Chad glared at me, surely sending me away in any moment.
"Mom, dad... I'm gay." Jade said without beat around the bush, and as she said it I ready myself for the outcome I knew was about to come.
     Caroline eyes got teary as she looked at Chad... you could even said she looked scared. He, on the other hand, was beyond furious.
"What the fuck are saying, you ungrateful child?"
"I'm gay, I love women and nothing you said or do will change that." 
     That's when I saw him lift his right hand, ready to hit her and out of reflex I pulled her behind me; making him missed and almost felt when he lost his balance. 
"You are not going to repeat the circle with her, you son of a bitch. You will never laid a hand on her." I told him with all the hate I had safe all these years.
"Cycle? What do you mean cycle?" Jade asked from behind me.
"Leave, get the fuck out of my house and take this ungrateful bitch with you. You're done, we never want to see or know about either of you. You are going straight to hell and we don't want to have any part on it!" Chad yelled at us.
"Don't worry asshole, I wasn't going to let her stay here after being true to herself, never in a million years." I looked at Caroline. "You choose to be a wife before a mother, what do you think God will asked you when you die? You abandoned us, you abandoned me when I need it you the most. You allowed the man to torture me for years, day after day I begged you to save me, but you didn't. Well guess what, I'm as gay as I was when I was sixteen. You change nothing, because this is who I am, who we are. So fuck you, and enjoy your miserable life with that cheating bastard you got of a husband." I told her and Jade and I walked out without looking back. 
"What didn't you told me that he beat you!" My sister yelled at me once we were in my apartment. 
"I didn't wanted to ruin your perspective of him, beside nobody would had believe me. He's the model parent, remember."
"How often...how often did he did it?"
"Everyday since I was sixteen years old until I left the wretched house at nineteen; when I had enough to live on my own."
"But how come I never notice?"
"You were a child, he never did it with you present, it was always before you got home with Caroline."
"That's what you were always in your room, why you suddenly change everything about you... and mom, did she knew?"
"She knew, and did nothing to stopped him... Day after day, he beat the crap out of me and told me that he would stop when he got the homosexual demon out of me and I started dating men. I could have stopped it, I could have ended it, but I didn't. I couldn't gave him the one thing he couldn't take from me."
"He's not even your father, how could he? How could mom allowed him to... what kind of parents are they?!"
     She came close to me and hugged me tight crying, and for the first time in years I hugged her as tight; as I let my tears run free for just on night.
