Jay POV: There are so many things going through my head during the road trip. Nervousness, anxiousness, scared, terrified, uncomfortable. All the things in the world that I really don't need to be feeling right now. I swear to God if I make it through this weekend alive then I'm going to church on Sunday. I swear I feel sick to my stomach just thinking about all of the judgement things they could say about is. I know she said that her family is nice. But that's what all people say about their parents before they tear you from limb to limb with their words. I swear I have hella knots in my stomach right now and I'm on the verge of bursting in tears. I don't think I can do this anymore.
Shae POV: I'm having fun driving and listening to music. But when we finally made it past the Florida line we got caught in traffic and it wasn't moving one bit. I was trying to make a good time out of the situation but I could tell that Jay's mind was on a whole other planet. I could see the fear in her eyes and I knew exactly why she was looking that way.
"Look I understand that you are nervous to meet my parents. I would feel the same way if I was in you position. But you gotta snap out of it baby. For the hundredth time, my people are wonderful people. They won't judge you like other people's parents will. I promise you that. So don't be so nervous about everything. I'm pretty sure if I fell in love with you that they will too." I said honestly
" I know you've told me this a hundred times but I still get nervous. I've never met anyone's parents so I'm scared that I will say the wrong thing or offend somebody. Like that shit right there is my biggest fear. And I just don't want to let you down. Cause if your parents don't approve of me then I know you probably won't like me anymore." Jay said with tears rolling down her face
"If my parent don't like you then they are stupid. You are the best thing that has happened to me in years. And I'm grown as fuck and if they don't like you for you then they can kiss it cause I'm still going be rocking with you baby. You my one and only and if anybody has a problem with that then so be it. I love you Janice Smith" I said
"I love you too Shaela Johnson. Now let's go meet your folks!" Jay said enthusiastically
{2 hours later}
Jay's POV: We finally made it to her parents house. And to be honest, all the fear and worry I had in my head earlier was completely wiped away. For once, I was actually excited to meet her parents. After all she did say that they were nice and that they aren't judgmental. So I'm just going to trust my baby and hopefully this goes over well.
Shae POV: Surprisingly, Jay is acting way more calm now. I hope she stays like this because she had me worried for a minute. I have never introduced anybody to my parents before so I know that they will at least get the fact that she is somebody important to me in my life. Jay is such an outgoing person but I have a feeling she might let her nerves get the best of her. But I'm just going let it play out and see what happens. Anyways when we step foot on the front porch to open the door, I was instantly grabbed and hugged by father. I could tell that he was happy to see me.
"Hey Daddy!" I said with joy
"Hey Babygirl. How you been these past few months. We've missed having you around. The nest is empty without you here." My father said with sadness in his voice
"Well at least I'm here now Dad. So where's mom? I would normally hear her by now." I asked
"She is the living watching tv. Child you know how that woman gets when she starts watching her stories. You would almost forget she was here." He said bursting in laughter "And by the way who is your friend Shaela?" He said acknowledging Jay
"Well Dad this Janice Smith but you can call her Jay. This is my new girlfriend that I wanted y'all to meet. I said with confidence.
"Oh so this is the Jay I've been hearing all about. It's so nice to finally meet you person. I swear this girl never stops talking about you. And I must say my daughter has pretty good taste." He said to Jay and they started to laugh.
"Well thank you for the complement. You not too bad yourself old man." Jay said and they both continued to laugh. I guess we were disturbing my mom cause she came in the kitchen looking mad as hell.
" What the hell is---is that my Babygirl!? Hey my baby how you been doing. I swear I was just talking about you the other day. I'm so happy you are home. And who is your over here? My said pointing to Jay
"Mom meet Jay. Jay meet Mom. This is my new girlfriend. You remember the one I was telling you about the other day." I said happily
"This is your girlfriend??? Oh I know this has to be a joke. I'm cool with you being gay and everything but now you have taken it way too far. What is the point of you dating a girl that's dressed like a boy if you are dressed like a boy. If you really wanna do that then you might as well date a man. Not some imitation of one. You need a real man in your life." My mother said with hatred in her eyes
"Look mama I understand if you don't get our relationship and that's okay. But what you will not do is disrespect her in front of me like that. I wanted you to meet her because I love her and that's all that should ever matter and not the clothes she has on. Do you even hear yourself? You sound so fucking ignorant to me right now. Like you legit sound stupid as fuck to me right now. If you can't accept our relationship then I will my shit and take my ass back to Atlanta. I don't have to sit here and listen to this bullshit come out your mouth any longer." I said grabbing my things in rage.
"Well fine go on then and take your dyke ass girlfriend with you too. No child of mine will come in my house with such an abomination like that. So if you want to leave then don't let the door hit you on the way out." My mother said
Jay POV: I felt so hurt by the things Shae's mom said. I don't know what made her say such things. I didn't even say one thing to her and she just snapped. It was taking everything in me not to cry but I couldn't hold it in much longer. I cried and cried and cried some more. I felt so bad about the situation. I felt like it was my fault that Shae and her mother were at odds now. Like my heart was aching at the fact that her mother basically hates my guts and probably never wants to see my face again. I swear I feel sick to my stomach right about now. All I really want to do is go back to Atlanta and act like none of this has happened.
