Friends with Benefits • A J2 Story

Chapter 16- Jared's Pov

I was gunna do it. There was no backing out now. I laid on my bed thinking over how I was going to tell my parents I was gay. The worst thing they can do is call me a fag and disown me, but I hope they wouldn't take it that far.

I made my final decision, and with a sigh, I manage to muster up enough energy and get up. The first place I made my way to was Megan's room. I knew that if I did this by myself I would chicken out at the last second, so I needed the confidence.

With a big breathe in, I rapped on the closed door. After a moment of waiting, the door opened revealing my sister. Her hair was up in a messy bun, and in her hand was one of the Harry Potter books. I give her a kind smile, but all I get is a serious Bitch face from her.

"What do you want?" she sighs crossing her arms, "I was in middle of reading."

"I-I think I'm ready... no, I am ready," I say with confidence at the end.

"What are you talking about?" she asks with a bored tone as she leans against the door frame.

"I'm ready to tell mom and dad I'm gay," I state with a bit of embarrassment. I look away from her to get away from her gaze.

"What? That's amazing!" She squeals, her whole standpoint changing at those words. Times like this, I wondered if she was bipolar.

"I was wondering if you could help me, like, explain..." I ask reaching my hand to the back of my neck and awkwardly rubbing it.

"Of course. Anything for my big brother, but can I ask why you want to all of a sudden?" She asks looking up at me with curiosity.

"I'm tired of hiding who I really am... especially to my own parents. I just hope they don't think I'm disgusting..." I admit. Megan doesn't answer me, instead she attacks me with a hug, almost making us both fall. I hold her close to me as she lays her head on my chest.

"That won't ever happen. They love you. We all do," she mumbles into my shirt. I don't know why, but that gave me all the confidence I needed. I knew that if my parent's couldn't except me for who I am, and who I like, then I would always have Megan on my side.

We eventually pull away from each other, and go get ready for dinner. I cleaned up so that I look decent enough, and head to the kitchen. When I walked in, my mom had her back towards me as she finished up with the pan on the stove, my dad was reading the paper at the table, and Megan was setting the table. Without being asked, I grab the plates and help set the table for four.

We all sat around the table and began to pray. Ever since I realized I was gay, praying had seemed awkward for me. I just tried to imagine that if God was really there, than he wouldn't judge someone on who they loved.

Before I realized it, we were done with the quick prayer and were making our plates. We ate in silence for a minute till my mom started some conversation.

"So, how was school today, Jared? Megan?" She asks looking up at me and my sister.

"Good," I answer plainly, not wanting to tell her the part where I've been skipping and not paying attention.

"Same old, same old," Megan replies with. She glances at me signaling me that I should probably tell them now.

"Um... mom? Dad?" I ask stupidly. I pinch myself for sounding so nervous.

"Yes, Jared?" My mom responds looking at me. My dad puts the newspaper down indicating for me to continue.

"I...um" I start, but I'm at loss of words. I rack my brain trying to find a way to put it easy, but it's hopeless. Instead, I do it in the worst way I could think of," I'm homosexual!"

As soon as I blurt out those two simple words, I know I was fucked. I look at my parents to see their expressions. My mom looked like she was almost hit by a train, and my dad... well I couldn't tell. Shocked I guess.

"Okay, so he's gay. So what? He's still your son," Megan says suddenly surprising us all. Thank god I had her to make them see my side, "I still love him no different."

"You're right. I still love you, Jared. Just surprised is all," My mom admits after a moment of complete silence. I can finally breathe again.

"You're still my son, no matter what sexuality, and I will treat you no different. I'm glad you were honest," My father adds on. I smile widely at the thought of how understanding they are. I was glad to have them as my parents. Now, I no longer had to keep it a secret, but there was one more thing to tell them.

"I'm also dating Jensen..." I said quietly, looking down at my plate.

"Ackles boy? He's a sweet kid, and his parents are wonderful," My dad says taking a bite of his porkchop. I smile even wider- if that was possible. I was sure my cheeks would split if I smiled anymore.

"Thank's for understanding," I say appreciatively.

"Of course, Darling," My mom says and with that, we eat the rest of our dinner like normal. After dinner, Megan and I clean up, but afterward, I'm racing to my room, where I plop onto the bed and grab my phone.

Shrugging off my clothes till I'm in only underwear, I crawl under the sheets and text Jensen.

To Sugar Daddy

It's done... My Parent's now know about us.

I was lying in bed, scrolling through twitter when I get a few texts from Jared. I read over them, unsure of what to say back. Mostly the second one. I didn't want to tell him I was going to wait because I knew he would take it the wrong way, so I did what I thought first. I lied. As long as I eventually tell my parents, then Jared would never know. Quickly I type back.

To Hot Lipz

That's great. Mine know too.
