The next day Marco walks down stairs to breakfast. He is thinking about how to come out to his father.
"Good morning, Marco." Mrs. Del Rossi says sitting food on the table.
"Good morning, Ma." Marco says helping Mrs. Del Rossi with the food.
"What are you doing on your first day out of the hospital?" Mrs. Del Rossi
"Dylan wanted me to go to the mall, but I told him I wasn't sure if you guys would let me so he is just going to come over." Marco
"Well I'm ok with you going to the mall with Dylan" Mrs. Del Rossi
"You are?" Marco asks shocked.
"Yes. Are you going to tell him Marco?" Mrs. Del Rossi asks sitting down.
"Tell who what?" Marco asks sitting down as well.
"Are you going to come out to your father soon?" Mrs. Del Rossi
"Yes, I just don't know how to. I was hoping Dylan could help me with ideas of how to do it and what to say." Marco
"Could you do it soon? I love you and will always love you, but I can't keep this secret much longer." Mrs. Del Rossi
"I know Ma. You never should have had to keep it from him." Marco
They eat and then Marco goes up to his room. His phone rings.
"Hey" Marco says answering the phone
"Hey sexy. Can I come over yet?" Dylan
"Yeah, and Ma said we could go to them mall." Marco says smiling at being called sexy.
"Ok, I'll be there to you up in a few minutes. I love you." Dylan
"I love you too. You probably should just come in because I'm not ready yet." Marco
"Ok" Dylan says before hanging up.
Marco starts getting ready. Dylan knocks on the door.
"Hello Dylan, Marco is up stairs." Mrs. Del Rossi
"Hello Mrs. Del Rossi." Dylan says before walking upstairs to Marcos room and opening the door. Marco is just in his boxers.
"Whoa" Marco says before realizing that it is just Dylan
"You're so sexy." Dylan says after shutting the door.
"Well thanks you're sexy too." Marco says putting his jeans on.
"Are you ok?" Dylan asks hugging Marco
"Yeah I'm fine." Marco
"You seem upset. Did I do something?" Dylan asks sitting down on Marcos bed.
"No, Ma said she can't keep my secret much longer." Marco
"Oh." Dylan
"Yeah, and I want to come out to him, I just don't know how too." Marco says sitting next to Dylan on the bed.
"Well finish getting ready and we can come up with a way later at the mall." Dylan
"That's a good idea." Marco says kissing Dylan
Marco and Dylan are walking through the mall holding hands.
"So how did you do it?" Marco asks looking up at Dylan
"Right, I didn't. He walked into my room while we were making out." Dylan says smiling
"Well I guess that would be a give away that something was up." Marco says sort of laughing.
"Yeah it was pretty funny too." Dylan says laughing
"So how did you see yourself coming out to them?" Marco
"I didn't know I mean it's easier to just get caught in action…well in some situations." Dylan says looking away from Marco.
"That's done, over, forgotten. I love you and you love me. We all act stupid at sometime or another." Marco says trying to get Dylan to look at him.
"Sorry" Dylan says still not really looking at Marco.
"I know you are. Now help me!" Marco says smiling at Dylan
"Ok, but I don't have any ideas." Dylan
"Maybe we should just get caught in action." Marco
"You don't want to do that. You have to tell him face to face or maybe face to paper." Dylan
"Face to paper?" Marco asks confused
"Like write him a letter and hand it to him and sit there while he reads it." Dylan
"You are a genius!" Marco says smiling up at Dylan
"Thank you." Dylan says laughing and lightly kisses Marco
They go to the movies it's a scary movie, the type Marco hates.
"Why do you bring me to these?" Marco asks closing his eyes.
"Because the way you cringe is so sexy. Plus we have more time to not watch the movie." Dylan says smiling and then kisses Marco.
The make out for the rest of the movie. After the movie they go get something to eat and just walk around the mall.
Later Marco is sitting in his room writing the letter he is going to give his father.
Pa,
This is going to seem strange, but Ma has asked that I tell you. I know how you feel about the subject, and that's why I'm scared to tell you that I am gay. I hope that we can talk about it and that you don't completely disown me or kick me out. I love you and Ma, but I can't not let you know the real me.
Love,
Marco
Marco re-reads it and calls Dylan to read it to him.
"So what did you think about it?" Marco
"Sounds great." Dylan
"Now all I have to do is give it to him." Marco
"Are you sure you don't want me there?" Dylan
"Positive. I'll call you after he reads it." Marco
"Ok, I love you" Dylan
"I love you too." Marco
They hang up and Marco folds the note up. HE walks down to the living room.
"Pa, can I talk to you?" Marco
"Of course, Marco" Mr. Del Rossi
"First read this." Marco says handing Mr. Del Rossi the note then sitting on the couch.
"What is this?" Mr. Del Rossi
"Please just read it." Marco
Mr. Del Rossi unfolds it, and reads it. He puts it down and looks at Marco.
Mr. Del Rossi just stares at Marco for a few minutes.
"Pa?" Marco says waving his hand in front of Mr. Del Rossi's face.
"I'm not your father." Mr. Del Rossi
"What?" Marco
"I don't have any children." Mr. Del Rossi.
"Pa, you're not making sense." Marco
"Go away, Get out of my house." Mr. Del Rossi
Marco is shocked, but goes upstairs to his room and starts throwing clothes and stuff into suit cases. He grabs his phone and calls Dylan.
"Hey Sexy" Dylan says answering his phone.
"Hey…Come…get…me" Marco says crying
"I'll be there in a few minutes." Dylan says hanging up.
Marco finishes throwing stuff into suitcases, and goes down stairs. He can hear Mrs. Del Rossi crying in the living room, but he goes outside to the sidewalk. He puts his stuff down and sits on the ground and cries. Dylan pulls up and runs over to Marco.
"Everything's going to be fine." Dylan says hugging Marco.
Marco cries harder and Dylan gets him to get up and into the car. He puts the suitcases into the trunk and gets in the car. Marco is still crying. Dylan drives to the park.
"What are we doing here?" Marco asks still crying
"Come on." Dylan says getting out of the car.
"Why?" Marco asks
"You need to calm down and a walk will do that." Dylan says opening Marco's door.
"Ok" Marco says getting out of the car.
Dylan takes Marco's hand and they start walking. They don't talk for awhile, but Marco calms down and stops crying. They come to a bench.
"Let's sit down." Marco says pointing to the bench.
"Ok" Dylan
They sit down.
"I'm sorry." Marco
"For what?" Dylan
"Everything." Marco
"You didn't do anything Marco." Dylan
"Everything's been so screwed up lately though." Marco
"Don't worry about any of it. I love you and nothing is going to change that." Dylan says lightly kissing Marco
"I love you too." Marco says pulling Dylan closer and kissing him hard.
They walk back to the car.
"Can I stay at your house?" Marco
"Yeah, they won't care." Dylan says smiling at Marco.
"Thanks." Marco
They go back to Dylan's house and put Marco's stuff in the guest room. Marco takes a shower. While he is in the shower Dylan explains everything to his parents. They agree to let Marco stay there as long as he needs too.
After Marco gets out of the shower he is in his room putting stuff into drawers.
"Hey can I come in?" Dylan
"Of course" Marco
"Are you ok?" Dylan
"No, but I will be eventually." Marco
"I'm sorry that he reacted like he did." Dylan
"I should have seen it coming. I mean he's always going on about how he hates ifruity boys/i as he calls us." Marco
"Yeah I just wish that he wouldn't have done that." Dylan
"Me too but I can't change it." Marco
"He will get over it eventually." Dylan
"And if he doesn't?" Marco
"Then we've got each other." Dylan
"I like that idea." Marco says sitting down on the bed.
Dylan shuts the door and goes over to the bed where they end up making out before they fall asleep. The next morning…
"Morning" Marco says as Dylan opens his eyes.
"Morning, How long have you been awake?" Dylan says kissing Marco.
"About an hour." Marco
"Why didn't you wake me up?" Dylan
"I was watching you sleep." Marco
"Oh, I do that too you sometimes too." Dylan
"What are we going to do today?" Marco
"Whatever you want." Dylan
"I want to talk to ma, but I don't know if he is going to be there." Marco
"Call there." Dylan
"And if he answers?" Marco
"It's up too you. You are going to have to talk to him eventually anyways." Dylan
"I know, but he isn't going to want me talking to ma." Marco
"I'll take you over there if you'd rather talk face to face with him if he's there." Dylan
"No, I guess I'll just call her." Marco
They go eat breakfast. After breakfast Marco goes up to his room and calls his house.
"Hello, Del Rossi residence." Mrs. Del Rossi says answering the phone.
"Ma, I love you." Marco
"I love you too, Marco. I'm sorry I made you do that. I didn't think he'd say that. I didn't think he'd kick you out." Mrs. Del Rossi says crying again.
"Ma, I'll be fine I'm staying with Dylan. Can you bring the rest of my stuff to me though?" Marco
"Yes, I'll bring it by later today." Mrs. Del Rossi
"Thank you." Marco
"You're welcome." Mrs. Del Rossi
"I'll talk to you later then." Marco
"Bye" Mrs. Del Rossi
