LUS – Chapter 3.2 – Hunter and Lucas – Be As You Are

	"Lucas just got here; I thought you would want to know," Nick told
me through the bathroom door. "Nervous?"

	"Can... can you get my mom for me please?" I started pacing in the
bathroom. What am I going to do? What am I going to say?

	Nick gave me no reply, but I heard him walk away. There wasn't any
sound coming from inside the house. The longer it was silent, the more
insane my mind went. What could he be like? Is he tall, chubby, maybe he's
nothing like me at all?
	"Hunter." Mom knocked, and I opened the bathroom door with what
must have been the most nervous face I have ever had. "Oh honey, how are
you feeling?"

	I shrugged. "I don't know... I'm so nervous." I realized my hand
was shaking a lot, and I couldn't stop it at all. "Mom I can't do it. I
can't meet him right now."

	"Come here." We sat down on the stairs; she wrapped her arms around
me. I just leaned into her shoulder. "When you were young, and I was
overwhelmed by everything, I would listen to a song, or call Gran. Either
way, I heard the same things

"There are moments when you fall to the ground But you are stronger than
you feel you are now You don't always have to speak so loud, no Just be as
you are It doesn't matter if you become some star Life is better when you
open your heart You don't always have to act so hard, no Just be as you
are."

	I looked up at mom. She plays that song all the time, 'Be As You
Are' by Mike Posner. "Mom... What was it like telling Gran and Grandpa you
were pregnant?"

	She sighed and let go of me, leaving one arm over my
shoulder. "Well, it was a few weeks after I learned when I finally told
them. I was so scared of what their reaction would be. They wanted to know
the father, and I wouldn't let them know.

	"That was the only mistake I made. They were furious with me, but I
didn't give in." She got up and walked to the door. "Hunter, just be you,
and I know Lucas will love you. I know he will." The next moment she was
outside, and I was alone inside again.
	Before going outside, I headed upstairs and checked stuff out. I
ended up in the room at the front of the house. It was clearly a guest
bedroom now, but I bet this was Nick's room. I could see him in here
living, being a teenager in here.

	I sat down leaning against the bed and set out a huge sigh. "Why is
this so hard to just walk outside and say 'hello my name is Hunter, I'm
your son.' It should be so easy!" I kicked the floor, frustrated with
myself.

	Liam could be heard through the window yelling about
something. Sounds like he's having fun out there... I'm stuck up here
within my own mental walls. Each time I let out a breath I would shake.

	Who knows how long I was sitting in there for. I sat in there so
long; someone came inside. All I could think of was, please don't be Lucas,
please don't be Lucas.

	Nick came popping through the door. "You're in here; this was mine
and my brother's old room." Called it. "What are you doing up here? I hear
the bathroom is all the rage to hide out in."

	I smirked and let out a small giggle. "I don't think I can do
it... Meeting him feels like so hard to do like it could kill me if I do
it."

	Nick sat down on the floor in front of me. He lifted my chin up and
looked at me dead in the eyes. "The day he found out about you, at first,
we were overwhelmed, to be honest. The more we talked, though, the more
excited we became, even just to host you for part of the summer.

	"Right now, he's concerned about how you're feeling. He's pretty
nervous himself to meet you. Lucas wanted to come in here so bad to comfort
you. Have you ever taken a jump before?"

	"Ya, last summer mom let me bungee jump for the first time. I was
so excited yet nervous. I screamed like a little girl the whole way down."
I laughed at that thought. That was the highest I ever screamed in my
life. Bet I couldn't get that high again.

	"But you did it, right? Was there any resistance?" I shook my
head. "Then why don't you and I go down there together, I can be your
rope. I'll pull you back up and make sure you don't fall." Nick offered me
his hand, after a moment I took it and stood up with him.

	He motioned for me to go first. I started my way through the house
and down the stairs. I got to the door and looked back just to make sure he
was still there. "Now or never I guess."

	I took a deep breath and opened the front door. Slowly we made our
way down through the entry pathway. Mom saw me before I saw Lucas, she
looked so happy as I turned the corner in front of the garage. There he was
talking to Nick's dad, back towards me.

	"He's finally come out to play," Nick said softly enough for Lucas
to hear. He stopped mid-sentence and turned to me. Lucas was a bigger
person, but not fat. He had brown hair, a shade darker than mine. I
definitely have my mom's eyes, brown compared to the blue. "Hunter, this is
Lucas."

	Both of us stood speechless. I kept making and breaking eye
contact. "Hey..." I barely whispered out.

	Lucas smiled from ear to ear. "Hello Hunter, it's a pleasure to
meet you."

	"You too." I shuffled from foot to foot. I don't know what to do or
say right now. "I guess I should call you 'dad.'"

	"Call me whatever you're comfortable with. I'm okay with you
calling me Lucas."

	Nick came out from behind me. "Don't call him Luke, though; he
doesn't like it at all." Everyone had a chuckle from that. "Why don't we
leave these two to talk and get to know each other?"

	"I like that idea." Brittney quickly gathered everyone, even Liam
and brought them inside. Even mom got ushered inside. It just left us out
here, in our awkwardness.
	"I hear you got expelled from school." What a great way to leave a
first impression. He can't be proud of that. "I also hear it's because of
defending your friends."

	I shrugged. "I start the fights because they make fun of my
friend's dads. Sexuality is no reason to bully someone. There is never a
good reason to bully someone."

	"Same could be said about fighting someone." He's not wrong. "Could
I ask you about your sexuality?"

	I looked away from him. "I'm gay... I haven't told my mom." He said
nothing, so I turned around. "Wait does she know!?"

	"Ya, but she doesn't want to be the one to ask." At least he's
honest with me. "She is very proud of you, Hunter."

	"I know, but I keep screwing up big time, and I know she doesn't
like that... I can't help it, though; it's usually so spontaneous. When
it's over, I always regret it." I'm a good fighter; I took karate and some
other stuff. There have been a few times where I've taken good damage too,
but it's always the other guy.

	Lucas placed his hand on my shoulder. "She knows you do what you do
for the right reasons; you just go about it the wrong way. You know when I
was your age I barely accepted I was gay?"

	"Really?"

	He nodded. "Ya, I even broke things off with Nick to try and be
straight. I guess if I never did that, though, you wouldn't be here now. So
it wasn't as bad as I thought." I couldn't resist the smile that spread
across my face. "You're a good kid Hunter, just need to think your actions
through. How about we go join everyone inside?"

	"Ya, I would like that."

	We walked back in together; Lucas pulled me in and gave me a side
hug. "I'm very happy to have you here Hunter. I hope you are as well."

	"Definitely." I think being here will help me out a lot. This
summer will be full of great memories... I'm sure of it.

Chapter End.
	He finally did it! Hunter finally met his father. YAAAAAAAY
