"NOooooo!!!" I yelled dramaticly, while falling onto my knees. "Why would you do that to Jerry!? I continued with my show. "Why!? Because I caught Jerry talking about me behind my back!" she argued.

We were silent for a moment, then we started to have a giggling fit. Our little show continued for a few more minutes, until we both were out of breath.

We both took in a deep breath. Once we both had a good amount of air in our lungs, we just stood there for a moment. Once I thought it had been quite for long enough, so I decided to speak my mind about the bills.

I gave myself a quick pep-talk, then began to speak, "Mom...?" She looked into my eyes as to tell me I had her full attention. I took in a deep breath, then continued, "I saw the letters to our landlord and a few of the utility companies. Yes, you paid a some of the utilities, but not all and that could cause some problems in the future. You know I hate to be the bringer of bad news, but we have to face the facts... We can't keep paying this high of a cost on utilities and housing... Mom... I know the last time I went to talk to the landlord... *sigh*... it didn't go all to well, but we both know that you are to afraid to confront him and ask to lower the rent, but we can't keep doing this to ourselves. So, I'm going to try to wager a deal with him, so that our rent will be at least a little bit less than it is now. Then, after I talk with him I am going to go to the utility companies and talk to them about our situation, and that we can't afford their payments right now... Okay?"

I had dropped my eyes to the floor in the middle of my speech, so I lifted my gaze to see what her reaction was. Once I saw, I wished I hadn't... She was standing there with a tear-streaked face, and so many emotions were swirling in her eyes.

I quickly stepped forward to console her, but before I could reach her she said, "I am very sorry..." with a broken voice, so I knew she was close to completely breaking down and falling to the floor because of how much she would shake with each sob and wail that would leave her lips.

I gave her a empathetic look as she continued, "I am so sorry for making you worry about such things! Your still a kid, you shouldn't have to take care of such things! Its my job to love and take care of you... and yes we both remember the last time you tried to negotiate for a lower rent payment... I mean there is no reason to forget it..."

She looks like she is lost in the memory of that day. Her eyes, they look like they are in a far away place from where we are right now, with a slight fog to hide where she has drifted to in her mind... After a minute she was back from her little adventure in her mind, and she just looked at me with saddened eyes.

I know she doesn't want what happened last time to repeat, but I have come accustomed to some people not liking "my type of people" So now I don't get affected by their words of hate as much as I used to. I decided to inform her about my thoughts, "Mom, I have become more accustomed to how people don't like my sexuality and speak their mind about it even if what they're saying is rude and uncalled for. Also, even if you do not agree to allow me to do this, I will do it anyway because it needs to be done." (There you go gayassemo101 to the question you asked in Chapter 16 ^~^)

We stood there for a moment silently, she looked like she was mulling over what I have said. Then she began to speak, "Okay, since even if I were to deny you, you would still go through with this plan of yours."

Once she gave her response, I gave a slight bow of my head as a way to say thank you. After I showed my thanks I straightened up, and started heading to the door.

Before I could reach the door I felt arms wrap around me in a strong, but gentle hug. "No matter what anyone says about you and your preference for guys, just know that you are a strong, caring, young gentleman. Okay?" She looked at me with comforting, and caring eyes. "Okay." I said with a slight nod. I gave her one last squeeze before I turned back around to start heading for the door again.

Once I reached the door, I turned around to face my mom and gave a slight wave before going through the door. I started walking towards the landlords apartment
-it only took about 5 minutes to reach it because he lives on the top level of the apartment complex, while we are on the bottom.-

Once I reached his door, I could already smell the cigarette smoke. I knocked on his door lightly, so I didn't get yelled at by him for being disrespectful,and it somehow correlating with my sexuality. -note my sarcasm- When I had been standing there for about three minutes I decided to knock again, but slightly harder.

After I knocked I heard movement on the other side of the door, so now I know that he heard meet this time.

Once he opened the door my nostrils were attacked by the smell of cigarettes and sweat. I had to hold back the urge to gag and dry heave.

I looked the "man" in the eyes, and got straight to the point of why I came here. "Hello, sir. It has come to my attention that you must have raised our rent payment again, even though you know we can't afford anything higher than what you were already having us pay, and that we were having trouble meeting that amount."

I continued to look him straight in the eyes as I continued, "So, I have come to your abode today to try to make an arrangement with you."

Once I said that I came to make "an arrangement" he looked slightly interested on what o had to offer. "What are you willing to give?" he asked non-chalently. "It depends on what you want and we can work from there." I answered.

He stood ther for a minute thinking about what he wanted in ''return'' for lowering our rent payment. He got a devilish smirk after a few minutes then met my gaze, his full of fire and mischief, mine dull and uncaring. But after his response I was ready to say some fighting words.

WARNING IN THIS PARAGRAPH THERE IS THE USE OF A HOSTILE WORD TOWARDS HOMOSEXUAL PEOPLE!!! PLEASE IF YOU DO NOT LIKE PEOPLE WHO ARE RUDE TO HOMO PEOPLE JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE DO NOT READ THIS PARAGRAPH!!! THANK YOU!!!

What he said was, "I would like a date with your mother once every month and for you to say, "I am a filthy, no good, faggot"

Okay it's safe

(I feel awful for just typing that word, all of you beutiful homosexual beings out there come and smite me for saying such a word!)

I bit back my comments about what had just said and told him I will ask my mother if she is alright with this deal. I pulled out my phone and text mom.

Y- Hey mom all he wants is for you to go out on a date with him once every month is that alright with you?

M- It matters, if he is the one paying. Ask him who will be paying?

I looked up from my phone and asked, "Who will be paying for the dates?" "Me, of course." He said.

I looked back to my phone and texted her.

Y- He says he will pay.

M- okay so I don't see a reason to not agree so tell him that I agree to his deal.

"She agrees." I said uncaringly. He looked at me expectantly. I sighed and recited what he told me to say earlier.

After I said it he walked back into his apartment, and I started walking to the utility company.

(I don't feel like typing that so... yeah I'm using a time skip)

Finally, I was back at home. I looked at the clock and it was late. I thought about just styong up, but then I remembered the first day of school is tomorrow. So, I went to bed.
