Lena
It wasn't long before she texted me. I looked at the message a smile on my face before I even read the text.
Her: hey want to go to the beach for a while
I tried to think of what to say. Of course I want to go I just don't want the questions and mom trying to meet her.
Me: well my mom just threatened to interrogate you so you might want to stay away
Did I just imply that my moms think we are dating?
Her:Damn it I hate being interrogated by the police.
She's joking, I hope. That won't go over very well.
Me: I live with her. I have to deal with it when I do something bad.
As I sent the message Jesus came into my room.
"No you can not copy my homework" I said without even looking up from phone.
"I wasn't going to, relax. How did everything go today?" He asked sitting on my bed.
I manage to throw him out of my room without telling him much about the day. When he left I went back downstairs mentally talking myself through this up coming conversation. I know asking to go to the beach with Sarah is going to raise questions. Stef seems dead set on interrogating her and I would like to keep that from happening. Besides I'm sure Stef has already told Lena what happened today at school, so they are doubting the experimenting thing.
"Hey honey, what's up?" Stef asked as they were both preparing something for dinner.
"Actually Sarah asked me to go to the beach with her." They both gave each other a sideward glance.
"Oh Sarah? How did everything go today?" Lena asked confused. Stef didn't tell her yet?
"Wow mom you went fifteen minutes without gossiping, I'm so proud of you" I said sarcastically. I'm really surprised that she managed to do that. Lena gave Stef a look like,'how dare you not tell me!'
"Long story short I kissed her again" I explained avoiding eye contact.
"Really. How was it?" She asked like a teenage girl.
"And you said I was the gossiping one" stef said tilting her head in the direction of Lena.
"Fine, can I go?" I asked hoping they will just say yes.
"Sure once I interrogate her and she passes" she said not giving it up.
"Mom! Mom tell her she can't interrogate her" I begged Lena.
"No I like that idea. Tell her to come over for supper" I groaned. The last thing I need is to have her over for supper with my family.
"Ok I'll tell her no" I replied getting my phone out and texting her. Stef put her arm around me.
"Aww love, it won't be that bad, you might as well get it over with." She said and I rolled my eyes.
"Come on Mom. You have to remember what it's like" I said to both of them and they both laughed.
"Yeah we remember but you know what's different this time"Lena said and Stef finished her sentence.
"This time it's not in our expense, you'll have your turn" she said as they both laughed. Well I'm glad they're enjoying torturing me.
Just as I was about to leave she called me. Perfect timing, Sarah. Why couldn't she just text me.
"Hey"she said and I can tell she's crying.
"What's wrong?" I asked immediately worried.
"They found out, I don't know how. They kicked me out"she stated and I can tell she's trying not to start bawling.
"Hey it's ok" I said unsure of what to say to help her. I remember her saying that her parents are those follow every word of the bible Catholics and that's why she's forced to stay in the closet. I can't imagine how terrible that would be. I remember when I told her I had two moms she looked jealous.
"No it's not I don't have anywhere to go!" She said and I can picture her driving around town with nowhere to go.
"Everything ok, Mariana?" Stef asked concerned. I lowered the phone so Sarah couldn't hear me.
"No her parents kicked her out of the house she has no place to go" I explained giving them a pleading look.
"Yes she can stay for a while" they both said and I smiled my thanks to them.
"Hey you can come stay here." I offered.
"Are your parents really ok with that?" She asked in a whisper.
"Yeah they are" I said and she thanked me and told me she would be here in five minutes. she didn't lie either, she was here in only four minutes.
I went out to greet her first so we have some privacy. She got out of the car and immediately hugged me.
"Its ok" I said rubbing her back gently.
"I don't want to meet your parents looking like this!" She said looking down at her baggy t-shirt and sweat pants. Her mascara has run down her cheeks leaving black lines down her face and her eyes are red and puffy.
"What are you talking about you look beautiful" I flirted but she's had a bad enough day the least I can do is make sure she knows she's beautiful. I attempted to get the most of the mascara off so she doesn't look like a crying clown. Once I got most of it cleaned up I lead her into the house. I sighed in relief when Stef was out of uniform and in everyday clothes. They both smiled at her.
"You must be Sarah" stef said holding her hand out and Sarah shook it, then shook Lenas.
"It's nice to meet you, thanks for letting me stay here" she said smiling.
"Of course, we are just about to eat. Do you like spaghetti?" Lena said as everyone else started to come downstairs for supper.
"Who's this?" Brandon asked gesturing towards Sarah.
"She's a friend of Marianas, her names Sarah" stef said and everyone took a seat at the table. Me and Sarah went over and joined the table and got some spaghetti.
"So do you have any thing with you?" Mom asked her and my stomach flipped. She doesn't have any thing from her house with her they didn't even give her time to collect her stuff. Everyone else looked clueless as they tried to figure out what happened.
"No she didn't allow me to" she said and kept her eyes on her food.
"I'm sorry" they both said. I wish they would change the subject she's so embarrassed. I glared at moms hoping they would get the hint.
"So Brandon have you practiced for your piano recital?" Lena said just trying to come up with something quick.
"You can't hear him?" Jude asked jokingly. Sarah got up from her seat, getting everyone's attention.
"Um where's the bathroom?" She asked and I pointed her in the direction of it. The second she left everyone started talking about Her.
"What happened?" Brandon asked.
"They didn't even give her time to get her stuff?" Lena said sounding angry at her parents.
"How long is she here for?" Jesus asked.
"She got kicked out of her house today because her parents figured out she's gay, she needed a place to go" I said to my siblings. Everyone went silent at the words. Obviously, everyone who lives in this house supports gays and feel bad for what happened.
I couldn't help but wonder about what Jesus asked too. How long will they allow her to stay? Sure they feel bad for her but with everything going on will they really let her stay for long?
let me know what you want to happen next and please review.
