A/N: I wanted to give a heads up. This chapter is a bit harsh on the status of gay relationships.
Chapter 22
Mike exited the room with a huge smile. He was at his old apartment he had just finished talking with his landlord, it was a good thing she was a kind old lady. He felt things in his life were finally settling down. He was with Chris which was more than he could ever ask for. He made his way back to his old room. He unlocked the door walking in looking around. Everything was the way he had left. He stood in the empty room looking around till the knock on his door made him look back. Who could that be? Mike walked to his door opening it to see his mother with crossed arms not looking happy.
"Mom?" Mike stood a little surprised to see her she let herself in. Mike closed the door behind her watching her stand in the middle of the room looking back at her son.
"Since when?!" She asked Mike stood confused at the question that was asked.
"Since what?" He asked shrugging his shoulders.
"Since when have you liked men!?" She asked. Mike frozen to be asked. His heart stopped everything around him stopped. His brain was trying to process what was happening and couldn't come up with a response.
"Oh Michael…" She covered her mouth sobbing shaking her head. She clearly didn't approve. Mike swallowed blinking. It hit. It hit hard and he was not prepared for it. Never did he ever think his parents would find out.
"Mom…" Mike spoke.
"Is he the reason?" She asked looking up at him.
"Mom." Mike called out again.
"Be honest with me Michael." She demanded. Mike lowered his head. He clenched his fist nodding. His mother gasped to get her answer.
"Oh God." She rested her fingertips on her temple.
"He makes me happy." Mike informed hoping maybe, just maybe he could get his mother to understand.
"It's a sin Michael!" She snapped making him jump to be yelled at.
"Oh, why didn't I catch this sooner?" She sobbed. Mike pressed his brows together.
"Mom!" Mike protested.
"I don't understand, you had so many girlfriends!" She stood trying to figure out what happened to her son.
"Yeah but I didn't love them!" Mike defended. She looked up at him.
"Was it him? Did he turn you?" She asked Mike stood looking at his mother in disbelief.
"You can't be serious."
"Answer me!" Mike sighed shaking his head.
"My heart choose him, he didn't do anything to me." Mike explained. His mother shook her head.
"No." She replied.
"I can't allow this, you are making a mistake Michael." She replied leaving slamming the door behind her making him jump to the loud sound. Mike stood looking at his door his heart was racing. He was scared. What would his mother do? He knew she would bring his father into this, and then what? His father would be ashamed to discover his son was in love with another man.
Mrs. Munroe walked down the street she was filled with mixed emotions. She was convinced that boy with blonde hair had done something to her son. She refused to believe her son was in love. She walked passed the store only to stop in her tracks. She looked through the store window to see the one responsible for her son's confusions. She smirked to see him happy browsing.
"Think you can drag my boy to hell with you?" She asked.
"Not if I can help it." She glared at him watching him with disgust.
A/N: Harsh chapter, but I wanted to add this type of issue into my story. I have read a lot of fictions where everyone in the story is okay with a couple being gay, and that's cool and all (YAY GAY! :D I support so hard!) But I wanted to touch with some reality that some families are not. (Which is really sad) I hope I didn't offend anyone if I did I am sorry.
