I hadn’t known exactly what to expect when I’d gone to pick up Jesse. All I’d known was that he’d been crying when he’d called me, and it’d been the middle of the night, so it must have been a big deal. I was seriously worried.

Every day since I had been officially with Jesse, I’d been waiting for the other shoe to drop. It was like, any day things could go wrong, and I’d be on my own again, miserable without him. Things didn’t usually work out so well for me. I didn’t have the best of luck, so I felt particularly scared that I was going to lose all the happiness I had.

But it honestly had forced me to live in the moment more than ever, and, boy, was I living in the moment. Every damn day was sheer joy for me. Honestly, I didn’t know how I’d gone through my whole life without feeling like this. And I had no idea how I’d do it again.

When I pulled up to Jess’ house, he was sitting on a suitcase in his driveway, his head buried in his hands. He was bawling.

I pulled up right next to him, jumping out of the car immediately and rushing to his side.

“Oh my god, babe, what’s wrong?” I asked, as I wrapped both of my arms around him tightly.

“I got kicked out,” he murmured. “My mom doesn’t want me here anymore, and I… I don’t know where to go.”

“What?!” I didn’t know what it was I’d been expecting, but it hadn’t that.

I’d never imagined his mom would kick him out. His dad, maybe, but his mom? Who was overly concerned with appearing to be a loving, perfect mother?

“She just… she made me pack my bags and leave,” he said, his eyes red and puffy.

“But why!?” I asked. “Why would she do that?”

He looked up at me. “Because I told her we were together.”

“You did what?!” I asked.

He nodded slowly. “It just… happened. I didn’t plan it. She was mad that I had come home late, and she was saying all these things that reminded me of the way she used to treat you when we were kids, and I just… I defended you, and then one thing led to another, and I admitted we were dating.”

This was so much to process. I knew Jesse had claimed that he’d be telling his parents about us, but, honestly, I hadn’t expected him to. I’d been half wondering if we’d go to the grave without his family ever having known the truth. And I knew how complicated his relationship with his parents was, so, honestly, that didn’t bother me a ton.

But I was pretty damn proud to hear he’d actually bitten the bullet and done it. Proud and very worried for his emotional state. Because being kicked out over this had to hurt.

God, I couldn’t believe they’d be so cruel. I’d known his parents would disapprove, but this?! How did you disown your own child just
