"What?" Veronica asked flabbergasted
"I said she's gay, Mom" Hugo told her, still upset he had let slip the one thing his sister had never told their mother.
"I should have known. I mean she's my daughter for God's sake."
"You shouldn't beat yourself up over it, I mean I didn't know until I walked in on her and a girl from school making out."
"I need to go" she said raising from the bed.
"Mom, where are going?" Hugo said standing up as well.
"I've got to take your grandfather to the hospital, there's money on the kitchen counter for pizza when your sister comes home. Don't stay up too late, and don't leave the house." Veronica said numbly as she walked out the door of her childrens bedroom.
"Mom wait" He said stepping to her, but she had shut the door and turned around before he could reach her. Hugo sat on the bed defeated. He just wished he knew how his mother was feeling.
Veronica had been at the hospital for a few hours. She hadn't had time to think about what her son had told her. From getting her father to the hospital, to checking him, and getting him to sleep, to finally getting a call from the secretary at Westerburg to finalize somethings before the kids when back to school. After three hours of straight work, she finally had time to sit and think about everything. Looking back she saw so many signs, one of the most prominent being the fact that her daughter who was quite attractive and mature for her age, had never had a boyfriend. Even though many good young men who Veronica completely approved of asked her daughter, she said no to all of them. Veronica felt like such an idiot. How could she miss something so huge. And why didn't Charlie tell her before, I mean she was completely an ally for the LGBTQ community, but then of course she couldn't remember saying anything about the LBGTQ world around Charlie. Oh god how was she so stupid. Now that thought about it, she knew why she never brought it up, every time she thought about it all she could think of was Heather.
AN/ HAHAHAHA I love to leave you in suspense. Not to worry though the next part will be up really soon. I just wanted to get this one out. So, sorry if it feels rushed I really wanted to get to the next part. Also, thank you for the review and follow! It means a lot you guys. Anyway, I'll leave you to figure out with Heather I'm talking about. If you want you could leave a guess. Goodbye for now girls, guys, and althoughs in-between.
