Chapter 21

"Ale, you can't go back." Alvaro cried and hugged him tightly begging him not to leave.

"Baby, I've been with you for 2 months. He's still my dad, I need to at least hear him out, but you can come with me if you ask mom. We can leave if anything happens."

Alvaro nodded into his chest but didn't let go. He sniffled before pulling away. "Come on baby, let's go ask your mom." Alejandro pecked his lips and walked out of the room.

-------------------

When they got to his dad's house Alejandro knocked on the door and they waited outside nervously.

When the door opened they were met with Alejandro's dad, his eyes red almost like he was .....crying?

"A-ale? Oh my god." He pulled his son in for a hug while crying. "I didn't think you were ever gonna come back. I'm so sorry son. I never should've laid a hand on you. I know it's not an excuse but I was drunk. That doesn't make it okay though."

Alejandro was crying as he held onto his dad tighter. "P-please tell me it's not true."

"Tell you what's not true dad?" Alejandro was still crying.

"You aren't a fag, are you?" Alejandro pulled away and Alvaro hid behind him.

"Oh I see you are, is he your boyfriend?" Alejandro backed up and held Alvaro close.

"Son, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that word. Do you and your boyfriend want to come in and have lunch? Please let me make it up to you. Just because I don't support it doesn't mean I can't try."

"Alex, let's go eat with him, I mean he's trying." Alejandro nodded but held his hand tight, he was scared.

They sat at the table eating lunch together in an awkward silence until his dad spoke up.

"So, um...how did you two meet?" Alvaro giggled and decided to answer.

"I actually met Alejandro in ninth grade on the soccer team, well I ran track, but around the field they practiced in. I met him in the locker room and we've been friends since then. I started dating him last summer." Alvaro had a huge smile as he looked back at all of their memories.

"Wow, last summer? That's a really long time. I'm happy for you two." His dad smiled. "Alejandro, do you want to move back here? Please, I promise you can go visit him anytime. And I truly am sorry. While you were gone I went and got help for my drinking, I've been sober for two weeks, please, I'm trying."

"C-can I think about it?" Alejandro looked up from his plate nervously as he met his dad's eyes. Trying to see if he was faking it but he saw nothing but warmth and love in his eyes.

"Of course." His dad said with a smile.

"I'm so sorry to ruin the moment but my mom just texted and said she wanted me home, Alex are you coming?" Alvaro smiled sweetly.

"Y-yeah, bye dad. It was uh..nice seeing you." They both got up and left as quickly as possible.

His dad sighed and ran his hands down his face, "I fucked up."

What do you think? Should Alejandro forgive his dad?
