„You did... what?“ Full of disbelief, Casey stared at the older boy sitting opposite him. „You called my mom? How could you?“
Zeke felt the urge to pull him into his arms, but he knew better. „I know that you miss her. Even if you refuse to talk about what happened back then. And it's almost Christmas. Family time.“
„What family?“ Tears were sparkling in blue eyes. „They were acting like homophobic pricks. Instead of staying behind their son, they preferred to go the easy way and throw me out of the house. Why should I miss them?“
„Because they are still your parents. And it looks as if at least your mom regrets her behavior. She says that she would like to come to New York to see you.“
Casey paled. „What? No! I don't want to see her ever again.“
Zeke didn't hold back any longer; despite Casey's pushback, he grabbed his arms to hold him. „I'm afraid she's already on the way. She didn't even hesitate a moment when I told her where you are living now. Whatever she did, I'm sure she has regretted it every day since then. And at least she deserves a second chance.“
Casey sniffed uncontrolled. „As if this is so easy.“
Zeke placed a soft kiss on his drowned-in-tears face. „No one says that it will be easy. But it is worth it because it could bring you and your mom together again. Having a family in your life changes all, Casey.“
And he was thinking of his own parents, whom he had never gotten to know. Growing up in various foster families who didn't even deserve this name, he had learned to live on his own from the beginning. An endless, lonely fight against the difficulties of life. If he hadn't met Casey some time ago, who knows where he would be now?
