Rent a christian boyfriend

He was so triggered

One thing, I loved about this time was I got to wake up late and spend all my days with Eric, my friends and family like I would before I turned twenty-one and had to move out, go on my internship, practically grow up. In New York, I had a full time job and hardly even had time to take a sip of coffee in the morning. I had only taken this leave because I hadn't let Town in a very memorable way. I just decided I was sick of this bullshit, resigned from my father's hospital, packed my bags and left. I couldn't stand seeing Robbie everyday and the whispers all around about how I had never been good enough or how I didn't manage to keep a man. Everyone really expected Robbie and I to get married, we were always the 'it' couple. Now, I really felt sorry for Brenda. Knowing Mallory was a complete gossip, I wouldn't do anything until I saw it myself and planned on actually trying to befriend Brenda. She really needed it, I suppose.

My dad didn't like seeing me at home not being productive. I mentally roll my eyes at this, just because he is always drowned in work he doesn't like seeing other people not doing anything. As a kid whenever I came home for the summer and he would see me seated or just watching television, he always gave me something to do. It got to a point where if I knew he was coming home, I would pretend to be doing and he was still doing that even now. I really thought with Eric around he would excuse me but nope Rodney Winters doesn't have that.

"Leona, remember it's that time of the month at the hospital where we promote HIV awareness."

Eric chocked on his juice and everyone turned to look at him. He composed himself, what was his deal? I didn't mind him anyways the point is my father was onto something.

"Yeahhh.." I exaggerated my answer knowing exactly what he was about to say.

"You don't do much around here and I think it would be a good idea if you and your boyfriend both volunteered. We're a having an open day tomorrow.. many people will be coming in to know their status."

"Thats a really good idea honey." My mom replied cutting her toast putting it in her mouth. I somehow felt like she agreed because she didn't want Eric and I being left alone lately. After now being aware that we had a s****l relationship. She just seemed more cautious, coming in my room before I sleep and just asking me questions like 'any laundry' or something just to make sure Eric wasn't there. Basically she would send Eric out whenever I was around and thus far, I had not spend any proper time with Eric since the gala with all the wedding plans.

"I'm not a nurse unfortunately.." Eric said clearing his throat faking disappointment but he just couldn't wait to give me a look before looking back at his breakfast.

"You don't have to be a nurse to lend help son, I have just the perfect job for you." My dad said excitedly.

"Right.." Eric faked being enthusiastic. "Well I will have to check with Jeremy because of the wedding plans and bachelors party and all that." He blubbered. Eric hated the fact that he was to be part of wedding but did he loathe the hospital much more that he preferred the wedding instead.

"I'm sure this wedding isn't going to take over your lives.." My dad said curtly, I hated when he did that.

"So Eric mate.." my dad exaggerated the British linguistic. "You will encourage people to come for HIV testing. You will go around the malls and all those places with our other volunteers who are practically teens. So I suppose you could be the youth leader.. just inform people that yes this disease still exists it's not something from the 80s or 90s it is very well present and People with HIV are usually in denial of their status. Most partners aren't truthful of their status as well. It's a good idea to get tested every once in a while, you will have the T-shirt's, caps and flyers." My dad said in an excited voice. Eric couldn't hide his irritation.

"You make it sound like people actually go looking for HIV.." Eric snapped standing up to leave. "No one absolutely no one goes around saying 'I wish I had HIV' for fucksake. HIV or not HIV it doesn't make anyone less human. It's just a mistake that ruins you for a lifetime." He snapped.

"Where are you going Eric?" I quickly asked when my father and mother were shocked by his tone.

"Just leave me alone, Leona." He said taking his car keys and banging the door as he went out. I was embarrassed, he had never acted like this in front of my parents, he was really showing his true colors... what was wrong with him?

My dad only cleared his throat, when I was about to follow Eric.

"Give him space, snowflake.."

"But dad.." I protested.

"He is troubled with a lot of things and it's time he faces them. He can't run away from them." My father explained and I was not understanding anything he was saying.

"What do you mean?" I asked my dad, my mom was also confused.

"I have been watching him closely and we talk. I always make sure I ask him and take out enough for me to work with.."

I groaned.

"Dad really, really dad?" I hissed in disbelief. "He isn't one of your patients and you're a surgeon not a psychologist."

"I took psychology first until I realized I didn't like it, it was my fathers wish. So I'm both snowflake." My dad explained.

"What's wrong with him?" I silently asked. My mom then turned to remove the plates off the table, I don't know why but I wasn't getting a good vibe from her. She was treating Eric differently after she found out about..

"He has been running all his life and he is scared of facing his reality. He travels because he can't stay in one place. It quickly reminds him of his true reality. He has a lot of anger and bitterness."

"Did he say anything to you?" My other concern was my father already knew this was a fake relationship.

"No, he never says much but with the little he has been giving out about his family and all. I see progress, I suppose."

"What did he say about his family?"

"Nothing much dear, just how much he hates his father." My dad then looked at his watch and wiped his mouth clean. Standing up from the table.

"Just make sure he goes to that campaign, it's a lot to do with self healing."

"Is he HIV positive?" I panicked.

"I don't know dear, I don't know but that a conversation you will have to have with him." With that my dad was kissing my mom goodbye and leaving for work. I was so shocked I didn't know what to think. It scared me, if he was why would he let us do the things we did without any protection. He was clearly selfish. I was emotional and angry, I couldn't wait for tomorrow so I could get tested. I was hurt, I was scared, my emotions were all over the place.

"Leona, you better get tested tomorrow. This is why s*x before marriage is a sin, could it have killed you to wait." My mom said before going up the stairs. I couldn't stop myself from crying, this was sick, he was sick. If he has given me whatever that he has, I will never forgive him. I didn't want to talk to Laura or anyone. I was embarrassed, i was more afraid for myself. I found myself googling stupid questions such as 'Can HIV spread within a week of intercourse?' 'Can HIV be cured after getting it in a week or month'

It didn't stop me, even being a nurse I still needed assurance even if it was from Doctor Google. I quickly went to my father's study, looking through his medical books. I was in full on panic mode and more than anything I didn't care about Eric at this moment but about myself. I was so stupid, stupid, stupid. It's always funny talking about these things like they don't exist when they don't affect you.

For the first time in a while, I took my catholic cross necklace and prayed silently as I sat on my bed.

Tomorrow, I would get my answers. Eric was starting to look like trouble more than a blessing.
