Chapter 41

"You sure you don't want me to go with you?" Mark asked as I got ready to meet Jen's parents at the coffee shop.

"I'm sure Mark. You need to stay here in case something happens and the girls need to be picked up early." Mark let out a sigh before kissing my cheek.

"Ok. Just be safe." I pecked his lips.

""No promises." I then left the apartment and got into my car.

I hope this goes ok. Then again, that's why I chose a public place. It should help my situation a bit. Sure I'll be two on one but as long as I stand my ground, I should be ok. Hopefully.

I soon made it to the coffee shop and I waited inside. Within a few minutes, Jen's parents, Joseph Seagull and Andrea Nercella. Both appeared to be in their 30's and thy both had this air of strictness. Their brown eyes stared at me with questions. They sat across from me.

"So, miss l/n, what did you want to talk about?" Joe asked.

"About your daughter Jen."

"We're sorry about her. We understand if you want to keep Lauren away from Jen for Lauren's safety." I let out a sigh.

"That's not what I meant. Why do you think Lauren is in danger?"

I wonder what their logic is on this one.

"Simple. Jen might convert Lauren into being gay and who knows what they'll do."

That's not how it works. Oh well, it's nothing new. Still stupid though.

"What do you think being gay is like?"

"They're confused and sinful."

"What if they don't have a religion?"

"Still confused and terrible.

"But Jen has always been Jen."

"No! She's become more distant."

"Well, first of all, she's becoming a teenager and second, maybe you are as well."

"You're right. We should have been more careful about what she watched or who she talked to."

"Nope. That wont work. Jen is still Jen and she's just fine the way she is. You can't keep a leash on her. If you do, you might choke her."

"What are you trying to get at?"

"How does Jen being gay affect you?"

The big question.

"Like we failed."

"At what?"

"Being parents."

You did, just not in the way you two think.

"How?"

"Isn't it obvious? She's gay!"

"That's who she is. Saying that you failed as parents because she's gay is like saying you failed as parents because your son, Jake, eyes are blue. They're born that way. Besides, it's not like you have to worry about Jen being pregnant as a teen."

"Then we wont get grand-kids!"

"You still could but that's her choice if she wants to have kids, not yours."

"Just like how she chose to be gay."

Not this fucking shit.

"Wrong. You cant chose who you love and how you love them."

"I woman can't have sex with another woman."

"Yes they can, just in a different way. Also, Jen is only a teenager and is love really just about sex and reproducing?"

"Well, no-"

"Is it your business?"

"No."

"Now then, why did you kick your 15 year old daughter of the house and hit her in the face?"

"Because the Lord will not tolerate gays in the house."

"Since when?"

"It's in the Bible."

"Where?"

"In plenty of passages."

"Are you sure that you're interpreting them correctly? Also, they were originally written in a different language so maybe there was a translation error."

"We're sure that we're interpreting them correctly."

"So, you're going to let a book tell you how to live your life?"

"Yep."

Big mistake.

"So unless I'm mistaken, you two are divorced right? Isn't divorce a sin and the woman should be stoned to death for punishment?"

"Well uh-"

"Also, wearing multi-polyester clothing is a sin too. So is eating shrimp. Also, the marriage only counts if the wife is a virgin."

"Well you see uh-"

"Besides, what about 'Love thy neighbor'? Or, 'Judge not'? Also, what gives you the right to hit your daughter in the face just because she's gay?"

"I was angry." Joe said.

So am I but I'm not kicking your asses right now. Then again, the only asses these two have are their faces and their personality.

"You two have failed as parents. By hitting and abandoning your daughter, for no reason, because you can't handle who they are when it's not affecting anyone in a negative way." I stood up and left the coffee shop before I could do anything I would regret.
