Jon's POV
I was so nervous of what they'd think of Evan. I mean he had a great first impression. I laughed thinking about it. I snapped Evan to see if he was ready and he was. We were going to have dinner at my place, so he said he was on his way over. I was wearing a long light blue long sleeve with black jeans. My parents were a little bit to dressed up, because they work in business, we're down in the kitchen. I walked downstairs and told them he was coming over right now. My father sat at the table while my mother made dinner. Then there was a knock at the door. There was Evan with flowers. He was wearing a black shirt with black jeans and a white jacket over it with his winter coat and a white snap back. I didn't want my parents to think he's trying to be a thug so I smiled and took the flowers and his hat and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you Evan" I said as he fixed his hair. "Mom, dad, this is Evan. And Evan these are my parents" I said.
"Pleasure to meet you" Evan said shaking my dads hand then my mothers.
"I'm just making some chicken, why don't you sit down and tell us about yourself" my mom said. We both pulled out a chair and sat across from my dad. "So... Evan, do you play any sports?" My dad asked. I could tell he was nervous so I grabbed his hand under the table and he smiled.
"Well I'm playing hockey and football right now for Northwest" he said. My dad nodded his head. "And how are your grades?" He asked. "Oh-uh-better now, cause of your son, who's tutoring me", he said as I smiled at him.
"Thanks wonderful", my mom said putting the chicken on the table.
"Anything to drink Evan?"
"Water's fine", he said. She gave Evan and I glasses of water. "So are you two having sex?" My father asked. Evan and I choked on our water. "Harold!", My Mom said hitting the back of his head. "Ow! Don't you want to know?", He yelled. "Uh-no sir, no we're not", Evan said. He nodded his head. They seemed like they liked them. We all then ate our chicken in peace.
"So... Evan, would you ever hurt my son?" He asked again. "No sir, never, your son means the world to me" he said with out hesitation. My heart fluttered. "But you did let him get shot" my dad said. "Dad! No he didn't" I protested. Evan looked at me shocked that my dad brought it up. "Evan was trying to protect me!" I said again. "He didn't do a good job of it if I found up passed out, covered in blood, in the school parking lot!" He yelled back.
"I don't need him to babysit me dad!" I yelled.
"I don't care, why did they attack him in the first place"
"I'm sorry sir, I was-" Evan said.
"Say sorry over spilled milk, not because my son was shot" my dad interrupted.
"Dad I'm alive, don't blame this on Evan, blame it on the stupid fucker with the gun!" I yelled. "Language!" My Mom yelled.
"Like I haven't know how irresponsible he is, I've seen him smoke!" My dad yelled.
"How'd you know-" I started.
"I've seen him on his roof and the smoke coming out of his window" my dad said.
"I'm trying to quit sir" Evan said uncomfortably. "Does He smoke around you?" My Mom asked. "No" I lied.
"Bull shit, of course he does, because you're just a piece of trash to him" My dad said. Evan put his napkin down and stood up.
"I should go" he said. I grabbed his hand and stood up next to him.
"I'm disappointed in both of you! You degrading someone that makes me happy, that protects me, and cares about me. Maybe he does smoke around me, maybe I did get shot at because he wasn't blocking me, and maybe he's not the smartest kid I know. But I love him! Okay? I love him because he treats me like I'm normal, because he treats me like I'm the only thing that matters, because if anyone hurts me or makes fun of me he beats them up, because he trusts me and I trust him, and because he doesn't care if I'm ugly or have leg braces and can barely walk. And I'm sorry if you don't like him, but deal with it because I'm in love with this boy" I said. They all stared at me. I then pushed my chair in and left. I slammed the door and started limping down the block. I heard my door open then close.
"Jon!" I heard Evan yell running towards me.
I turned and he grabbed my face and smashed his lips onto mine. We passionately kissed for what seemed like forever. I felt fireworks everywhere. When we released he looked me in the eyes and said, "I love you too". I started crying and wrapped my arms around his neck as his wrapped around my waist. We then walked back to his house with his arm wrapped around my hip. "So you think I'm not smart?" He smiled. I laughed and shoved him.
"Shut up" I laughed. He kissed me again and we went inside.
