Chapter 177
"Babe.. where did you go? I was looking for you when I woke up" Jake says descending the stairs without taking notice of his parents who are sitting on the couch
He hugs Allison and gives him a kiss on his cheek. Allison squirms in his hold like he's uncomfortable and Jake notices
"Babe.. is something wrong?" Jake says as Jake looks nervously over Jake's shoulder and Jake is confused
"What's the matter babe? Is something--" he stops when he sees his Dad and his mother he's eyes widen and he immediately feels uncomfortable
"Mom....Dad?" He says "son.." Mr Anderson says as he walks towards Jake and Jake shifts uncomfortable "my boy" he says as he looks longingly at Jake and Jake just stands not knowing what to say.
"Son.. won't you even give me a hug?" Mr Anderson asks him with tears brimming in his eyes Jake looks at his father as tears brim in his own eyes
"Dad.." Jake says as he runs into his father's arms. "Jake.. my son" Mr Anderson says as he hugs his son tightly patting his back
"I'm so sorry my son.. I'm really sorry for everything I've done to you.. I'm sorry for cutting you off for abandoning you son.. I'm really sorry" Mr and apologises profusely
"No Dad.. I'm really sorry for disappointing you.. I'm sorry for not being able to control my feelings and my heart. I tried Dad I really tried but I couldn't because I love Allison so much" Jake says
"Son.. please don't apologise It's not your fault we can't control the way we feel.. we really can't. I should have understood you.. I shouldn't have been selfish and self-centered only thinking about my reputation. I love you son.. I love you no matter who you are and what your sexuality is. I promise to respect your opinion and beliefs son" Mr Anderson says to Jake
"I love you too Dad" Jake says as Gloria wipes a lone tear running down her cheek and Allison looks relieved that Jake has been able to reconcile with his father

It's Friday
Tomorrow is the sunset gala and Sasha decides to take Kelly and Ashley shopping.
Sasha has been trying to get Ashley to be more comfortable with her and to also get Kelly to trust her completely.
Even though Kelly has loosened up to her she still feels that Kelly is still not totally free with her and she doesn't blame Kelly after what she did to Adrian it will take her a while to win Kelly and Ashley's trust.
As for the boys Adrian and Scott they're good with her and they have no problem with Sasha.
Adrian apologises to Sasha for exploiting her love for him and leading her on all these years without being truly in love with her and Sasha has forgiven him
Sasha's POV
I had to forgive Adrian and surprisingly I feel better and happier.
I don't want to be that Sasha of before.. I want to be truly happy and content.
Even though my parents are still as busy as ever I'm no longer as miserable and bitter as I was before because of my desire to feel loved.
I know that my parents love me even though they hardly show it or give me much attention I know they love me so I've decided not to be angry at them anymore and just be happy.
Sasha pulls up at Ashley and Kelly's apartment.
She rings the doorbell and Kelly opens the door to see a smiling Sasha
"Hey Kelly" she says as she gives Kelly a hug and to say the truth Kelly is still feeling a bit awkward with the new Sasha.
