Chapter 9: Shocked
"What did you just say?" Marco's dad asked.
"I said that I am gay dad," said Marco.
"I am surprised, but that explains the phone call from that boy who called
earlier," said Marco's mom.
"Please tell me this is an innocent joke!" yelled Marco's dad.
"This is not a joke dad, I really am," said Marco.
Marco's dad stares at his son for a moment. I just can not believe this, he
thought. Of all people, my own son.
"You're never going to have grandchildren. Our dreams are shattered," said
Marco's mom.
"I'm sorry about this, but this is who I am. I can't change that," said
Marco.
"I have a fag living in my house! This is not good!" Marco's dad was
yelling even louder now. "What are the people in this neighborhood going to
think of me now? The father of the fag?"
"Honey, I am shocked too. But Marco is our son and we must be supportive,"
said Marco's mom.
"You want me to support a fag? You've got to be kidding me!"
"Dad, I said I was sorry."
"Sorry will not help. Get out of my house! Now!"
"Dad, please! I can't control my feelings."
"Just go to Cassie's or something. I can't have you living here. Pack your
stuff and go."
"Mom, you're not going to let him do this, are you?"
"I'm sorry honey, but I can't go against your father's orders. Good bye."
"I feel so betrayed, mom."
Marco runs upstairs, crying. I knew that this would ruin everything, Marco
thought. Let me call Cassie.
Marco: Hello?
Cassie: Yes. Who is this?
Marco: It's Marco.
Cassie: What do you want?
Marco: Please, not now Cassie.
Cassie: You're crying. What happened?
Marco: I told my mom about everything. Then my dad walked in. He kicked me
out. I need to move in with you.
Cassie: Marco, I'm so sorry about everything. Of course you can move in,
you're my best friend. Come by now.
Marco: Okay. Bye.
He hung up the phone. He packed his clothes and headed to Cassie's house.
He rang the door bell.
Cassie opened the door.
"Oh Marco," said Cassie. Marco ran into her arms.
"I'm so sorry to bug you now," said Marco.
"It's okay. It's okay. Don't speak. There is no time for words now, there's
too much pain going on right now," said Cassie.
"I'm feeling tired," said Marco. "Where can I sleep?"
"My mom and I prepared the guest room for you. You sure you aren't hungry?"
Cassie asked.
"Yes, I'm fine. I just need some sleep," said Marco.
Marco went upstairs and went to sleep.
Cassie sat down in the living room. Poor Marco, said Cassie. He is going
through so much right now. The phone rang. Cassie picks it up.
Cassie: Hello?
Jordan: Cassie, it's me.
Cassie: Oh no, I can't deal with you right now.
Jordan: I need to talk to you. You seriously need to stop hanging with
Marco.
Cassie: Just shut up! Marco is having some huge problems right now. And
it's all thanks to you spreading his secret around the entire school.
Jordan: Let's just talk—
Cassie immediately hung up the phone. God, thought Jordan. She's a tough
chick.
Cassie's mom comes to the living room.
"Is everything alright, Cassie?" Cassie's mom asked.
"Not exactly," said Cassie. "Jordan called again. He keeps telling me to
stop hanging out with Marco."
"Jordan is the bad influence here. Just stay away from him. Look, tell
Marco that the guest room will be open at all times. He is welcome to stay
here for as long as he needs to," said Cassie's mom.
"Thanks mom, you're so supportive," said Cassie.
Cassie and her mom hug.
