Well well well. Look who's on the ball and updated super fast! I'm kinda proud of myself, I wrote this chapter with minimal distraction today haha.

Dongu: Yes, Trina and Jade are super huge softies! When they wanna be, anyway.

Joshua: That's a good song, but I was thinking more along the lines of Unbroken.

LenyRehim: Muchas gracias. Realmente me gustaría escuchar su idea de lo que Jade ha planeado para Tori y me encantaría que seas un lector fiel . Tu opinión realmente me sorprendió y me trató de leerlo lo mejor que pude sin usar Google Translate. Me dio la esencia de la misma , pero yo no podía entender todo esto , por lo que Google Traductor ayudó en la redacción de este

Now, on with the chapter!

Planning with Trina took a pretty long time. We would get off topic, but the important thing is that we finished with the plan.

'She's gonna love the surprise, Jade! I think she might even pass out.' Trina says, hugging me outside the coffee shop by our cars.

'Yeah, well, it won't be easy. I'll have to swallow my pride and...' I trail off, hoping she gets it.

'...and ask your dad for help.' Trina finishes and I nod. 'If you want, I can be there for moral support while you call him.'

'That's really sweet of you, Treen...but I'll be fine.' I say a little hesitantly.

'If you need me, don't hesitate to call. I'm here for you, Jade.' Trina says with a smile, hugging me again.

'Thanks, Trina. That means a lot.' I say as she gets in her car and drives away.

I sigh and get in my own car, driving home so I can call my dad. I've never had the most stable relationship with daddy dearest, but he's been trying recently. Like, actually trying. When I told him I was gay, I expected it to end with us screaming at each other over the phone...but instead...

~Flashback~

'Dad, I need to tell you something.'

'Whatever it is, it must be important. You usually want nothing to do with me.' I hear him chuckle sadly at the end.

'And who's fault is that?' I snap.

I hear him sigh and can already picture him running a hand through his hair. 'I know I haven't been the best father to you-'

'Yeah, no shit...' I mumble.

'-but I'd like to start trying. I used to think you'd be fine with just your mother; that you wouldn't need me in your life. The thing is, I need you. You're my only child, my pride and joy. When you were born, it was one of the happiest days of my life. Your grandpa told me that children are supposed to be molded into what their parents want them to be; that children are supposed to live up to their parents' expectations. Thinking back on it, I don't know why I ever listened to your grandpa. He always had such a harsh way of raising kids. The point I'm trying to make here, Jadelyn, is that...I want to be in your life. I want to love you and support you, no matter what you end up doing.'

I let all of that sink in, trying to detect any signs of a lie. But the only thing I sense is sincerity in what my father was telling me.

'Now, what did you have to tell me, Jadelyn?'

'Just call me Jade, dad. And...I'm gay.' I say the last part cautiously.

'That's great, Jadely-I mean, Jade.'

To say I was shocked he took it so well would be an understatement. I let out a nervous laugh. 'Are you serious?'

'Of course, Jade. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters.'

~End Flashback~

I've never really believed him when he said he supported me in anything I chose to do. I've also been avoiding calling him whenever I can. It's unsettling hearing this new side of him.

I get home and go to my room after a quick greeting to my mom. When I close my door, I pull out my phone and call my dad.

'Dad? I need a favor.'

What do you think Jade's asking her dad? And do you think her dad's being sincere when he said he'd support her no matter what? People can fake sincerity, as horrible as that is. Anyways, not that this is of any importance, but I watched Ellen Page come out on YouTube and everything she said during her little speech struck a cord for me. If you haven't watched it, then I'd recommend you do so and really think on the words. BUT enough rambling. See you guys in the next chapter. Au revoir!
