Holden heard his phone buzzing in his cup holder. He grabbed it and read the text.
"What's wrong? Whenever you tell me to be at your house at a certain time something's up." Alicia said.
He put his phone back in the cup holder. He sighed, "Well this day was perfect before my mother showed up." He said rubbing his cheek.

Holden was sitting in his room waiting for his dad and Alicia. "Hopefully she shows up before dad does." He said as he heard a knock on his door. "Come in." He said pulling his knees up to his chest.
"Sweety what's wrong?" Alicia asked walking in.
He sighed "Well all was great until my mom showed up."
Alicia closed the door, and walked over to sit on the bed. "What happened?"
"Well, um, me and Solomon were having a nice time. He owns horses you know." He said trying to think of how to explain it to her.
"Ya that's one reason that I chose him for you." She said with a smile.

Holden slightly smiled, "We went to the fair, and he let me ride his horse," He paused. "Not that kind of horse. Anyway after riding the horse for a few minutes I got down and gave him a kiss. And of course that's when my mother showed up." He said banging his head into the wall.
"I wasn't thinking that way, but that was so sweet of him." Alicia said patting Holden on his knee. She looked at his cheek. "What happened to your cheek?" She asked getting up and looking closer at it.
"My mom." He said downtrodden.
"She hit you?" She asked getting angry.
"Ya it's no big deal." Holden said trying to stop her from yelling at his mom.

"Yes it is a big deal, that's child abuse." She said clenching her fists.
"I'm not a child anymore." Holden said wanting to just disappear.
"You may be twenty but its still child abuse." She said.
"Please Alicia don't make this any harder than it already is." He said looking at her.
She sighed, "Fine but the next time she hit's you I am calling the police." She said sitting back on the bed.
"Ok, can I have a hug?" He asked letting go of his knees.
"Of course you can." She said standing up and giving him a hug.
Holden heard a knock on his door again. "Shit its dad, I will talk to you later." He said shooing her away.

"You better." She said kissing Holden on the forehead and walked to the door. "Hello Mr. Evans.
"Evening Alicia." He said with a straight face. "Holden your mother told me what happened at the fair today." He said closing the door.
"I'm sorry dad." Holden said grabbing his knees again.
"Why are you sorry?" He said sitting down on the bed.
"Because I'm gay." Holden said looking down at his knees.
"I know you are." Mr. Evans said with a smile.
"Wait you know? Since when?" Holden asked darting his head up.
"Um since you were ten I think." He said looking up and putting his index finger on his chin.
"But how?" Holden asked surprised.
"No offense but you always had more friends that were girls instead of boys." He said giving Holden a reassuring look.

"I can't believe you knew all these years." Holden said slightly happy.
"Ya, and I am happy for you." He said with a smile.
"Thank you dad." Holden said loosening his grip on his knees.
"You welcome son, and I am giving you your birthday present now." He said grabbing an envelope out of his jacket. He handed it to Holden.
"What is this?" Holden asked grabbing the envelope.
"Just open it." He said with a smile.
Holden opened the envelope and saw a check. "What's this?" He asked pulling out the check and looking at it. Holden's eyes went wide.
"It's part of you inheritance. Keep looking in the envelope." He said smiling.

Holden opened the envelope more and saw a key. "What is with the key?" Holden asked grabbing it out of the envelope.
Mr. Evans smiled. "It's for your new apartment." He said.
"Really? Oh my gosh thank you dad." Holden said hugging his dad.
"Your welcome, now tomorrow the movers will be here to help you." He said hugging Holden back. "Also I want you to be happy no matter if your gay, or straight." He said with a smile. "Now start packing." He said gently punching Holden on the shoulder.
"I will dad, and thank you again." Holden said with a smile. When his dad left he got up and started to pack.
