Chapter 8 - A Special Dinner Guest
"Dad, I would like you to meet my new boyfriend" Torrie announced, as John walked into the room. Torrie was glad that John was her boyfriend and John grinned as he realized Torrie had called him her boyfriend, he guessed they were happy together again.
"YOU!" Al yelled, "Get out of my house!" he ordered. Torrie had a sour look on her face.
"I knew this was a bad idea" John moaned, as he started to walk away, but Torrie pulled him back.
"No John! You don't have to go, You are MY guest, so you can stay" Torrie shot a glare at her dad as he tried to say something. Torrie sat down and motioned for John to sit next to her. Al grunted and he sat down, still not happy with the fact that this peice of garbage was in his house. Torrie's mom came back from the kitchen, as she laid the dinner out she noticed John,
"Oh! Hello, you must be Torrie's friend" she politely said. John smiled in reply.
"Well actually he's more than a friend, this is John, John Cena, my boyfriend mom" Torrie grinned.
Torrie's mom looked shocked and tried to erase that last sentance Torrie had just said, but shook it away quickly as she noticed everyone staring at her "well, it's...nice to meet you" she put on a fake smile.
"And you" John politely said. They all settled into their food. John picked up the beef with his hands and started to gobble it down, causing some gravy to dribble down his chin. Torrie's parents looked at him disgusted, Torrie put down her knife and fork.
"John, you use these to cut the beef with, that's what they are there for" Torrie smiled as she pointed to the fine, silver cutlery. John wiped the gravy away from his chin with his jersey sleeve. Feeling embarassed and ashamed he picked up the knife and fork and started to cut what he had left of the beef.
What a stupid fool I am, here I am trying to make a good impression then I go and do that John angrily thought to himself, stabbing the beef. A few moments later he decided he had to get out of that room, the tension was just too much "Would you excuse me?" John said, Torrie's parents nodded a bit too eagarly, he got up and bent over towards Torrie "Tor? Where's the bathroom?"
Torrie giggled "Down the corridor to your left"
"Thanks" John grinned, he loved Torrie's little giggle, he strode off down the corridor.
"So, mom dad, what do you think of John?" Torrie asked barely containing her excitement.
"He seems...nice" Torrie's mom struggled, but Al got straight to the point.
"How could you bring trailer park trash into our home?" he furiously asked.
"From the trailer park, oh dear gosh!" Torrie's mom almost fainted.
Torrie jumped out of her seat "You know what! What does it matter that he's from the trailer park? How are they really any different from you and I? Sure they wear different clothes and act differently, that just shows they are independant, but deep down they are still human beings with feelings. So what I'm really trying to say is can't we all just get along? Why all this conflict? We have to give people a chance, we should never judge a book by it's cover" Torrie finally finished her emotional speech, John had overheard every word and smiled.
Al got up "I'm sorry Torrie, I...I didn't mean for this conflict, there have just been problems in the past! How do you suggest we fix this?" he asked, taking into account for once his daughter's feelings.
John suddenly walked back in "Sorry I was so long" he apologized.
Al walked over to him "No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't treat you the way I do because you are different from me, do you accept my apology?" he sounded really sincere. John held out his hand and Al shook it.
"Let's make things right!" John claimed.
