Harley's POV
Benny mumbles "what did he say to you?" I say "I told him how saying what he said was wrong and that he said I should come in tomorrow and we can talk about it" shrugging. He says "is that good?" I nod saying "yeah, I'm gonna stand my side and I'll tell you all about it tomorrow?" He says "I'd like that" quietly and I bite my lip and people gradually start to flood out and I say "I'll see you tomorrow afternoon?" We start leaving and he nods saying "you know where I'll be" and I bite my lip, nodding and we go home and mom says "you stayed the whole time, you alright?" I chuckle saying "yes, mom" chuckling and I say "I just needed a breather" and she nods saying "yeah, me too but I didn't take it" and we chuckle. We get home and I take my clothes off and I turn in the mirror and there are hickeys all over my shoulders and I roll my eyes, smiling and blushing. I lay down and I fall asleep immediately.
The next day
I get clothes that don't make me look too much like a satanist as I do so I grab a white tee shirt instead of a dark one. I shower then I put dark blue skinny jeans on, my tee shirt, then I cuff the sleeves, put on my leather jacket and my combat boots. Mom says "going to hang with your boyfriend?" I say "not my boyfriend and no, talking to the preacher about his absurd sermon, he asked me to come in and talk to him about it" and she says "be careful" and I pat my pocket in my jacket saying "I'm always careful." She says "alright" and I say "then I'm going to hang out with my man and his weird friends" and we chuckle and mom says "oh, while I was cleaning I found this bandana that belongs to you" and she hands it to me. I say "thank you" chuckling and mom and I go back to this church in my new car and I sigh, biting my lip as I turn into the parking lot and I go in. The preacher is sitting on one of the pews at the very front and I lean against the thing thats in front of the kneelers at the front and I say "you wanted to talk to me?" He says "yes, I'm Marc by the way" and I say "Harley" shaking his hand and he says "how are you?" I say "I'm alright" smiling and I say "you?" He says "I'm good, so I wanted to talk to you about what you said yesterday? Why do you think it's right to be gay?" I say "I wouldn't word it that way, I'd word it that it's ok because there's not one right or wrong way to be unless you're like a murderer or rapist, if you get what I'm saying?" He nods and I say "I think it's perfectly fine to be gay or anything on that spectrum, people can be whoever they want to, its their choice, not other peoples, like it's your choice to murder not another persons. It's not a choice, you can't really help being gay or anything like that" and he says "but it's your choice to act on it" and I say "it's also your choice to date girls, how does it make you feel with me saying that?" He says "but that's not my choice that's how it's supposed to be" and I say "you can have feelings for anyone, it's not your choice like you can be drawn to hang out with someone, that's how friends work and many other things." He says "you're nuts" and I say "because I've convinced you and you're wrong" smirking and he says "I guess so, I've been taught one way all my life so hearing this, you could be right but I haven't been taught any other way." I nod saying "I get that, most people aren't even good with it now but it's really hard hearing that when you're against what someone is saying." He says "I get that completely, I'm very sorry, I'll correct myself next Sunday and several people will walk out but I'll take it I guess, the people that give the most to the church will leave." I say "then new or other people will take their place" and he says "I guess you're right, Mrs. Rodriguez is gonna throw a fit with me." I say "if you tell her I'm behind this, multiple lives will be fucked" and he blinks at me swearing then says "different families, what do you mean?" I say "it's not my place to say, who knows, maybe she'll believe you and go with it, who knows" and he says "never know till you try, right?" I say "yeah, true" and he stands up and says "tell those kids you hang out with they did a really good job at that game on Saturday" and I say "I will, going to see them right now actually" nodding. We start to walk out of the building and he says "Benny is a magical kid I swear" and I nod saying "he's going somewhere in life" biting my lip. We get outside and my man is leaning against my car, PF Flyers, perfectly fit jeans, baseball tee with his signature jersey over the top, his hands in his pockets and glove in the back of his jeans. I say "speak of him" and we chuckle and we go to our cars and I say "whats up?" Benny says "the sky" and I roll my eyes saying "are you ok?" He chuckles saying "yes, hi" and I chuckle and I say "hey" and Marc says "I'll see you guys later" and I turn around and shake his hand saying "thank you for listening to what I had to say." He says "you're welcome, thank you for saying" and I say "you're welcome" and he says "cya, guys" and Marc leaves. Benny says "that means it went well?" I say "yes! It was great" kissing his cheek swiftly and I say "get in, I wanna go to my house then we can go?" He says "ok, tell me everything" getting in the car and I say "you gotta kiss me first" and he kisses me, wrapping his arms around my neck. I chuckle and he says "ok now tell me, love" and I start to drive.
