Elizabeth was furious. She knew where her son had been sneaking off to everyday. Her original plan had been to simply forbid him to see him at all. This had been her plan until her husband pointed out that it just wouldn't be possible and that as much as she hated it she couldn't control who her don say.
"Don't you give a shit that your son is fucking gay? At his age he should be out lusting after every girl he sees not professing his love for some messed up lid," she screamed.
"I never thought you would be so shallow Elizabeth. At the end of the day does it really matter?" he asked. Of course like any man he would much rather that his son was straight but he knew there was nothing he could do about it. All he could do was accept it and hope that it was just an experimental experience that would pass with time.
"I am not being shallow. I'm trying to protect him he'll get the shit kicked out of him for this," she snapped.
"That's bullshit and you know it. Today practically everybody is gay, it's about as common as walking out the door with a hat on," he said using the first example that came into his head.
"So what we just stand by and watch this happen? What are we supposed to do give them our blessings? I'm sorry but I just can't do that!" she yelled. She couldn't believe this was happening. How long would it be before all the neighbours knew and started talking? She could hear them now…
"Did you hear about that Mrs Sykes boy?" the old woman just next door would whisper in an apparent quiet tone that clearly said she wanted everybody in the street to hear.
"No…now what's this now?" Mrs Bartle would ask, she of course just had to know everything.
"Oh yes I heard all about this quite the scandal!" Eva would yell joining the hustle.
"I mean can you imagine?" Mrs Bartle would as good as screech.
"I know…I mean what is the word coming to? I mean that Sands boy as well….his poor mother I just don't know how she's coping with all this. I mean I know I wouldn't be walking about bold as brash," Eva would say with a disgusted tut.
"Yes…Yes I quite agree with you. I would be hiding in my house too ashamed to show my face our down the local church praying to the Lord Jesus Christ to forgive her son's soul," the old woman would say.
Then they would all nod and make noises of agreement before carrying on with the rest of their business muttering about the disgrace as they went.
She refused to have that. Elizabeth would not allow herself to be the one they all talked about and became all hush, hush the moment she approached. She knew she could loose her friends over this. No one would one to be seen with her incase they too because the ones to be talked about.
She would not have her social status ruined by her seventeen year old son. If he wanted to play love doves with Sands then he could by all means but he would no longer be living under her roof. He would need to find somewhere else to live.

She looked up when she heard Jason come into the house. She was going to tell him now.
Jason sighed as he entered the living room. He really hadn't wanted to leave the hospital but he was told he didn't have a choice according to the staff. He didn't want to leave Sands but he promised to come back as soon as he could. Sands had smiled at this and made him promise to read even a little Shakespeare before his next visit.
"Sit down Jason," his mother said breaking through his thoughts.
"What?" Jason asked not really in the mood for another "discussion" with his mom that always ended in a massive argument.
"Were you serious about you said about Sands?" she asked.
"Yes I was," he said with any hesitation whatsoever.
"Then I'm sorry Jason but you really leave me no choice," she said sighing.
"What are you talking about?" he asked carefully.
"You're going to have to move out," she stated.
"What?" he asked totally shocked.
"I'm sorry Jason but I just can't have that under my roof…." She said carefully.
"You fucking bitch. You're willing to chuck me out on the fucking streets just so you can keep your friends, how could you be so fucking selfish?" he yelled. As much as he had always wanted to get away from his mom he didn't exactly relish the idea of being homeless.
She flinched slightly at his words but made no comment on them. "Of course I wont throw you out on the street. I'll sort you out a place," she said.
"How fucking considerate of you," he hissed going upstairs. He seriously intended on getting seriously stoned right now he needed someway of getting his mind off all this shit.
Elizabeth sighed she knew there was no point in shouting after him.
Jason sat on his bed and rolled a joint. He lay bad on his bed smoking it slowly letting it take effect.

"When the fuck can I get out of here?" Sands demanded.
Doctor Ray raised an eyebrow at his words then noted something down.
"Do you have to note down every fucking thing I do? I'm guessing you're going to note that down as well aren't you?" he demanded. Doctor Ray looked at him but didn't note anything down. Sands was certain he just did that to piss him off.
"Now back to your question. You may get out of here when we have managed to find the correct medication for you and you have either a secure foster home to go into…"
"Like that's gonna happen," he snapped.
Doctor Ray decided not to comment on that although did nor something down causing Sands to roll his eyes before he went on speaking again. "Or there is the option of finding a secure place to live that is registered in n adults name where we can check on things every while and then," he said.
"So basically I'm never getting the fuck out of here then. Oh and the saying is "now and then" now "while and then" and one last thing where the fuck can I go for a smoke in this place?" he demanded a slight smirk playing on his features.
