[ WP ] Your mother has been dating someone for a while and it 's time to meet his family . However , you find that you already know one of them

`` Well I'll be damned! Cayden?!'' A young blonde man with a boyish faced stepped forward from behind David, my soon to be step father at this rate. 
 
 `` Francis?'' We both stepped up and gave each other a half hug. 
 
 `` Wow when I heard the last name'Carston' I did n't really make the connection but you said you were moving out west a few years ago, I honestly just never thought I'd see you again, especially like this,'' we laughed. 
 
 `` Well what can I say, must have missed me,'' Cayden chuckled. The rest of David's family were still standing around us near the front door, curious to how we were so familiar. The awkward tension in the room started to grow as we all stood there not knowing what to say next. 
 
 `` Uhh well,'' Cayden started, `` Everyone, this is Francis. He was uhh...'' Cayden began to stutter until David interrupted. 
 
 `` Wait, Francis? Like Francis who got you into this whole'gay thing?''' My heart sank. I already anticipated that night was going to be a living hell. David was an asshole. He was n't just any asshole though, he was that asshole that was popular in high school, drove a big truck, thought he could still flirt with teenaged girls, and always voted for the party you hate. For some unknown reason l, my mum took a shining to him. 
 
 I've never been super close with my mum, but ever since she left Glen she's been grasping at straws. Sure David was a good looking guy, especially for his age, but Christ was he just everything I hated. 
 
 `` Yyyyup that was me.'' If there was ever a time for me to out to him I guess it was then. I could see the whites in everyone's eyes around me grow; I kept my head down. 
 
 `` David let's not do this now,'' said my mum. 
 
 `` Are you telling me your sons a queer?'' David spat. His father, who had remained silent, waiting for his turn to greet me turned and left the room. 
 
 I'm not good with confrontation. I try to shake off as many arguments as I can by simply remaining passive. There at times however when this ca n't be done and this was one such time. 
 
 `` Listen David, we all make bad decisions so let's just move past this.'' I said, knowing full well that David would n't let it go. 
 
 `` Francis!? Are you telling me we're a mistake?'' I had actually managed in the quick few moments I had entered this Josie to now piss off both David the Christian nut, and Cayden the previously denying gay. 
 
 `` Christ, no Cayden I'm --'' David cut me off. `` You ruined my son's life I hope you know that!'' This was all escalating pretty quickly, a lot more than I'm used to. Trying to distance myself from this drama was going to be hard, almost impossible. I had prepared for some sort of confrontation but to this day it holds a burned spot in my mind.
