1001 Love Stories Darker

childhood (37) 🎄

Ive never been close to my family.

My parents put me out when I was seventeen because I was gay and I've been on my own since.

However after working my ass off and struggling everyday. I got my dream job.

Worked my ass off even more and got to a place comfortable enough to live then thrive.

Now Im a CEO of a company I built from the ground up.

Ive made it and Im happy.

I know i shouldn't crawl back to them. But it was Christmas and even if I didn't want to see them. My little sister was 8 now and I wanted shower her in everything she could want.

So I arrived at my family home with a sack full of gifts and a smile.

Until he opened the door.

Some stranger I had never seen before looking at me like I had walked out of a portal and onto his front porch.

"Uh." I stammer out only for a little girl about six rushes over to him looking out at me.

"Can I help you?" He asks and I check the address. I still knew it by heart.

"Uh Vanessa and Carter Porter. Um they used to live here?" I say and he looks confused.

"Oh the old bats that lived here before me. They moved out almost two years ago. You must be their 'homo immoral disgusting son who's probably lying somewhere with aids." He says and I only sigh.

"Good to know their opinions of me haven't changed." I say and he only smiles softly.

"Would you like to come in for some coffee." He asks and I smile.

"Actually yeah." I say and he smiles.

"Um your daughter. Would she like some gifts." I say holding up the bag and he only smiles.

"We sit in the kitchen as the little girl shredded the gift wrapping like only kids could and we drank coffee in the kitchen.

"So its been a while since you seen them?" He asks and I smile.

"Yeah. We weren't on the best foot." I tell him and he smiles.

I then notice something.

The way he smiled. It seemed so failure.

"What was your name again?"

"Parker." He says and I smile that name resonate.

Parker Andrew.

Of course.

I only smile before instantly trying to find a way I can escape.

"Oh well I better be going." I tell him trying not to show this man still terrified me and still I was traumatized.

"Wait. Your parents some things of yours. Give me a moment." He says and I smile as he stands and I debate running.

"Uh thank you so much!" She smiles and I smile noticing how stunning she was and how she looked like Amber.

I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up together.

"Ok baby." He said returning with a Jacket and a bookbag for the little girl and I smile even though I missed my chance.

He gets her dressed and turns to me.

"Ill be right back. Please Ill need you to let me in. The doors lock automatically and I dont feel like looking for my keys. You're a life saver actually." He says and I nod as he leaves and I sit at the table panicking.
