Campfires & Rainbows

Chapter 51

I didn't know what to do. What are you supposed to do when a mean grumpy lady walks in on you and your girlfriend?

"Follow me." Agatha ordered, turning on her heal.

I quickly got off Quinn and grabbed my shirt before following her through the door and down the stairs and into the elevator. I would be a nervous wreck right now if it wasn't for Quinn. I'm glad she's here with me, and I'm glad I went up with her tonight. Despite what Tiny tol-

Tiny. My fists clenched at the thought of what she said earlier, "I'd hate for Agatha to find you."

This is all her fault. Why else would Agatha go up to the roof top?

The doors opened on the first floor and out stepped Agatha into the empty cold lobby. Nobody was here except the receptionist and one bell boy.

Agatha turned a corner to the left. I honestly wasn't paying attention and almost ran into the wall, making Quinn snicker.

"Zis is no laughing matter. Both of you arre in big trouble. So I suggest you stop snickerring."

Agatha lead us into the back west wing of the hotel. No one ever goes here, I guessed it was for MVPs only. She turned to a right and opened these two double doors. Inside was this cozy looking living room, with multiple floor to cieling bookshelves, a fake fire place, and two arm chairs facing the fire place, away from us.

"Mother?" a man called from one of the chairs.

"I'm here." she frowned, "With two of your campers."

The man sighed,"Bring them over here."

Agtha walked to the front of the room, with us behind her. In the chairs were Josh and Dean Higgins. The head counselours of our camp.

"I'll go get us something to drink." Agatha sighed leaving the room."

After a long silence Quinn spoke out.

"Wait, did you say mother?"

"Yeah," Dean chuckled,"She's my mom."

"That makes no sense." I furrowed my brow.

"Why do you say that?" He leaned back into his chair.

"Because, because she's mean and evil, and she's making you pay double to stay in this hotel so she can get money. And she burned down our camp!" I nearly yelled.

Quinn, Josh, and Dean all had an expresion implying that what I just said was crazy.

Finally Dean broke the silence,"Okay first off I'm not paying double. She's letting us stay here for free."

"But you said-"

"I know, she likes keeping order. And she likes to do that through intimidation. I didn't pay double," he chuckled, "I didn't pay anything at all, expect maybe a visit. My mother's paying for all the expenses. She's the reason we're not a starving homeless camp. If anything she's the opposite of mean or evil. She helps fund our camp that's why we can afford everything. She payed for the really good food, and she paid for all your free gift shop stuff. She's my biggest supporter. So after the camp burned down, she insisted I take everyone to Aspen. That she can take care of it for now."

"Oh." I looked down shyly.

"You know... she wasn't always okay with me being gay. She didn't support homosexuality at all. And she was devastated when I came out. She even disowned me." he chuckled,"Eventually she decided that she didn't care and that she'd rather have a gay son then not have one at all. In no time she became the biggest LGBTQ ally I know." he looked down and blushed, "The camp, it was actually her idea."

"Wait I'm confused now. Page said that Aga-...and Riley and I helped her a- SHIT PAGE!"
