Denying Dreams

8.

His mom gasped and mine just looked shocked.

"What the hell is this? Your son, he's touching my boy!", Harry's mom yelled at us.

She walked fast over and took me away from Harry.

"Anne, get your hands off my son!", she yelled and took my arm while Harry's mom tugged on my other one.

"I knew it! I just didn't want to say anything. Jay your son is gay!"

"My sons life choices have nothing to do with you!"

"They do if they involve my son!!", Harry's mom let my arm go and my mom took me in her arms.

" Harry go put these in and we will talk.", she threw him a pair of jeans and he got up from his seat and went in the bathroom, looking back at me.

"Mommy it's not he's fault. Harry's mom, it's not his fault. I like him.", I told them both and she shook her head and my mom just held my hand.

" It's ok baby.", she told me while massaging my hand.

"No, it's definitely not ok. Jay you're son is, he's the work of the devil! I wouldn't be surprised if he touched my boy!"

"How fucking dare you accuse my boy doing such a thing?! You've known Louis for years Anne, you've known me for years. My son is more open-minded than you will ever be because clearly you're too stuck up your own ass to see the light of day!"

There was a knock on the door frame and it was Mrs. Hansen.

"Can I please get all four of you in my office?", she asked us kindly and they nodded.

Harry came out the bathroom and Anne quickly took him ahead of us and our of the room. Harry looked back at me again and I mouthed, " I'm sorry " to him.

"Louis look at me.", my mom got lower to be at my height.

" You are absolutely beautiful, ok? And no matter what anyone tells you, whether if it's your friends, your sister, or even me, it's OK to be who you are no matter where you are or who you're with. Do you understand that?", she said to me.

I nodded in agreement but was still confused.

"No sweetheart I need to hear you say you understand."

"I understand."

Gay? Harry's mom said I was gay, what does that mean?

I went to the principals office with my mom and Harry and his mom. I tried to sit down next to Harry but his mom wouldn't let me.

"So, as we can see today both of your son have been assaulted.", Mrs. Hansen says.

" Yes.", both our moms say, I just keep looking at Harry and he does the same to me.

"Well both the classes will be punished for their actions. Nothing like this has happened before so I don't have an exact reason why.", she continued.

" I know why.", Harry spoke up.

"Why?", she turned to Harry and so did the rest of us.

" Louis hugged me earlier.", he stopped and looked up at his mom like he was scared.

"Not only that but he touched me.", he looked me in the eyes and told that lie.

"What?", my mom whispered.

" Louis he, he touched me.", Harry now looked at his lap and started to cry.

"I didn't.", I looked at Mrs. Hansen and she only shook her head.

" Louis I'm going to file to have you expelled. This is beyond unacceptable not only that but so evil.", she looked at me with disgust.

"I didn't do it! All me and Harry do is walk to class, and sometimes hold hands!", I yelled at her and she slammed her hand on her desk.

" Holding hands? With a boy!? Harry did he make you do that?", she turned to Harry again and he nodded.

"I didn't!! I promise please do t send me away from Harry please!", I started screaming again.

" Louis I can't believe you would do something like this! You're so young and we're such a sweet boy, baby what happened?", my mom cried and half way yelled at me.

"Mom, I didn't do it. I swear, I would never hurt Harry, I really like him."

"That's it, I've had enough of this! That, that thing has touched my child and made him do things!!! I want him punished. The gay faggot and that's final!!", Harry's mom yelled and got up ready to leave with Harry in her hands.

" Mrs. Twist, I hope you realize that your son will be expelled as well.", said Mrs. Hansen.

"Why?!"

"Because he was with a boy. There may be a chance your sin is gay too and for that, neither one of your children should attend this school. I will not have my students thinking that kind of lifestyles is ok.", she spoke and then  dismissed both of us.
