"You have until April 21st, 2015 until your contract with Modest! is up." Our lawyer told us. "You have the option to sue for emotional distress, if you'd like." I ran my hands through my hair and let out a deep sigh. "Not to sound self absorbed or anything, but we," I motioned between Harry and I, "already have all the money we need. What would suing really do for us?" The lawyer took a second and ruffled through some papers as if looking for an answer then responded, "Well...I'm going to be frank with you two, they probably have a little bit of a better chance winning this case than we do. But," he took a deep breath and folded his hands. "If you win this it will reflect poorly on their company." Harry gave me a worried glance, looked down at the table, then up at the lawyer. "It won't fix the hell we've been through." He wiped away a tear trying to escape his eye. I wrapped my arm around Harry's neck and pulled him into my chest, stroking his hair. I could hear him wimped into my chest and my heart just broke. "So what would you like the next step to be?" The lawyer asked. My eyes looked at the bit in my arms then at our lawyer, "We want to sue. But make this the most publicized case you've ever done. I want the world to know what had happened so it never happens to anyone ever again." The lawyer nervously shuffled through the same papers he had shuffled through already. He took a deep breath in and said that he would try his best. Harry still sat there in my arms, a crying mess. The past five years really had traumatized him because he couldn't wrap his head around the idea of someone not letting him be himself. His soul had always been so pure and kind that, even when explained to him, he couldn't understand the concept of hiding someone's sexuality. He had always been the one to suggest ways that we could be together without our sexuality showing and management would always turn him down. I just sat there in the meetings being stubbornly quiet and pissy except when the boys talked to me. Harry always found a way to look on the bright side of things when they were the worst. I can now tell that all that had been a load of bullshit considering his state at this point. He had probably said all of that to try and make me feel better.
The room had fallen silent for sometime so I decided to end the meeting. We both shook the lawyer's hand then left the building. Harry and I had fought for so long to get freedom so in the back of my mind I knew that this fight for justice would be even longer of a wait.
