Summer Lovin' ✩ Hardzello

19 | Bye Bye Love.

"Boys, can we talk for a minute?" My dad asked.

We shot eachother a glance and then got up and followed my dad out of my room.

"Virg is getting really suspicious about you two and it's been worrying me sick"

"But- but how? We've been really good at hiding everything" Ben said with worry evident in his voice.

He motioned for the both of us to follow him into the master bedroom.

He pulled a book off the shelf and showed it to the both of us

I read the title on the front page and it was horrible.

The book was called 'A Parents Guide To Preventing Homosexuality' (this book actually exists I googled it)

"She bought this after seeing the two of you look at eachother all lovey dovey"

I swallowed the lump in my throat and looked down at my shoes.

"This is why she was in such a fowl mood last night, she's dead set on finding you two out."

I looked over at Ben and he looked like he was on the verge of tears.

I reached down and held his hand to comfort him a little bit.

"I'm so sorry boys, I've tried everything in my power to get her to leave you alone but she just won't"

I looked over at Ben and he looked at me then we both lost it and the floodgates opened.

We held eachother tightly as we both cried and sniffled like a couple of babies.

My dad clearly cared and really didn't want this to happen to the both of us but there wasn't much he could do to help our situation.

Ever since day one I knew what I had signed up for. I knew that this was going to be dangerous but I tried so hard not to think about it. I always had a feeling this would happen.

I pulled away from Ben's tight embrace and looked over at my dad with red rimmed eyes.

He gave the both of us a look of sympathy and walked closer to us.

He hugged us tightly and he let a few tears fall also.

"I love you both and I didn't want this to happen to you I'm so sorry." He choked up a little bit as he was speaking.

"Ben, if anything happens just know that I care about you like your my own son, just remember that you did nothing wrong so don't ever feel like you did. Okay buddy?" He patted Ben on the shoulder and smiled.

Ben smiled with teary eyes.

"Thank you Mr. Mazzello"

They hugged and then shook hands after.

A few hours had passed and so far nothing had happened but I was still on edge the whole time.

I knew my mom was going to be home any minute and she was going to have both our heads on a platter once she got back.

Ben and I were just laying on the couch and cuddling like our lives depended on it.

This could be he last time we ever get to enjoy a moment like this so we wanted to make it last.

We heard my mom walking up the steps of the front porch and we quickly untangled ourselves from eachother.

When she walked in she shot us both a death glare but it was clearly aimed more towards Ben.
