jacks fathers face was covered in pure disappointment.
he looked at his sons hair that was short purple and in terrible condition. He had left a month for a business trip and now his son has apparently lost all his sense.
"im sorry father." Jack mumbled hoping he wasn't too mad at it.
jacks father scoffed as he moved past him and out of the room mumbling about the money he spent to keep jacks hair in good condition.
and it was true. He had spent money to keep it in shape and make his son look presentable. Image was everything to the avery familyjack freshened up for tonight's dinner praying Zach would think he looked decent.
he pondered his parents opinion on Zach when they would finally meet him. After all zach was never a suit and tie person.
-
the night was already bad enough with jacks parents not being appreciative of his new haircut
and now Zach was at the door wearing the clothes he usually wore while everyone in the house dressed up to look impressive for him.
the anger in jacks fathers face was present.
to make matters worse jack wasn't aware his boyfriend Zach lacked manners.
so when he walked straight in without introducing himself he knew the night wouldn't go as planned.
He looked out of place at the table in his chains, hoodie and boots. While my sisters all wore nice shirts or dresses along with my mother.
both my father and I wore button down shirts and I had ditched my rings for the night."Are your parents accompanying you tonight?" My mother spoke up as everyone listened.
"She's gonna be here in a few she's finding a Parking spot."
soon Zach's mother walked in with a nice outfit on unlike her son apologizing for being late as she sat at the free spot besides Isla.
they joined hands for a short parter.
jack could sense his boyfriends eyes open so he peaked.
he was looking at him before he winked closing his eyes.once the prayer finished everyone began eating.
"you have nice style zach maybe you could teach jack to dress!" my sister Ava laughed.
"thanks I tried tonight." He smirked as my dad grimaced.
"It's not very formal don't you think?" My father spoke up.
"please forgive him. He wasn't feeling too happy before he left this afternoon." Zach's mother chimed in.
"Oh?"
the others talking at the table looked over to Zach's mother and their talking quiet down."Zach has depression."
the table became silent as Zach put his head in his hand clearly embarrassed.
"Had this been medically proven?"jacks father pushed the question making the air very tense while the couple tried to ignore their parents.
"Yes. Did jack not tell you that zach tried to commit suicide?"
"Hey I really love the mashed potatoes thanks for it Mrs.Avery!" Zach spoke loudly trying to cease the soon awkward silence.
"no problem sweetheart I can go get you some more if you would like."
"That's alright jack will take me." Zach stood with his plate and walked to the kitchen motioning me to follow.
"I'm so so sorry." I apologized thinking of the conversation that just took place.
a smile crept on Zach's face before he let out a laugh. "Our parents are such idiots!" He smiled before hugging me.
I smiled too appreciating his hold on me.
"Fucking crazy." I laughed along with him.
"This feelings like a stupid 90's show right about now. The mother who tells too much and the family who disapproves." Zach's laughs died down.
"they think I'm not enough." His time now serious shifting the mood.
"Zach they think you're enough just wait." I reassured him as he pushed me out of his grip.
"you look embarrassing tonight." He scoffed looking at my buttoned down shirt and dress shoes.
I had put them on for him
he turned and left me alone in the kitchen. I didn't understand why his mood suddenly changed.
-
after dinner we all conversated by the door as my mother and Zach exchanged small talk.
"I think the way you dressed tonight shows personality sweetheart. No one said you had to dress formal." she smiled while she put a hand on his shoulder
"thank you ma'am." He nodded before telling her goodnight.
Jacks father stood infront of zach with a disgusted look.
"I will not have someone like you spreading your mental disease to my son. We appreciate that you joined our dinner but you will no longer be around my son. Do I make myself clear?"
tears welled in my eyes. I had a suddenly feeling our love was about to be
forbidden.
