They knew, and their parents probably did too. A bible and a belt. Who was going to interfere with God’s work? And no one gave a shit about them, really. They were an abomination, after all.
Every day Seth waited for Jeffrey to come back, or some word that he was okay, but his name was never spoken of again. I should’ve done something…why didn’t I help him? Guilt gnawed at him, and he was already drowning in it.
When Friday came again, they filed into the classroom after supper, just like they always did. The desks had been pushed to one end of the room, an old gym mat laid out on the floor. Seth looked over to Austin and he shrugged.
“Have a seat, boys and girls,” the reverend instructed like they were in kindergarten. “Make a nice, big circle.”
What, now we’re gonna sing Kumbaya? Have story time?
Whatever. Seth welcomed the reprieve. At least he wasn’t making them watch videos, right?
“I have failed you all, and I am sorry,” his hand on his heart, he spoke. “I’m going to amend that. Right now. Satan will not win.”
Damn right, you won’t, asshole.
He walked over to one of the girls, and stroking her mousy-brown hair, he asked her, “Tell us, daughter. Why did our heavenly Father send you to me?”
Her eyes nervously flitting around the room, the muscle played in her throat. Trick question. No matter what she said, she was fucked.
“Please, I didn’t do anything.”
“Men with men and women with women are indecent acts that offend God,” he responded, patting her on the head.
“But I’ve never been with anybody.” Choking up, tears rolled down her face. “Me and…well, neither one of us had ever been kissed by a boy. We just wanted to know what it felt like.”
Crossing his arms over his barrel chest, the reverend chuckled.
“I swear!”
“The Lord has entrusted me to show you the way, to teach all of you a lesson.” He snapped his fingers. “Seth, come here.”
Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh, shit.
“Rachel needs to know the kiss of a boy.” He smirked. “I think you’re man enough. Kiss her.”
Phew…okay, I can do that.
Leaning forward, Seth chastely kissed her lips.
“C’mon, you can do better than that, boy.”
He kissed the girl again.
“Now lie with her.” And turning his back to them, he addressed the others, “Male and female, each for the other, as God intended. He ordains Seth and Rachel to come together in the physical union. Look at them. This is a lesson for you all.”
Dumbfounded, Seth shook his head. “No, I can’t…I won’t. It’s wrong.”
“Sticking you’re dick in another boy’s ass is wrong.”
The reverend retrieved a belt from the wall, he thought it was Judy, and smirking, came to stand behind the girl.
Rachel’s eyes grew big and wide. She looked absolutely terrified.
I failed Jonathan and Jeffrey, but I won’t fail you.
“You need to hit someone, asshole? Hit me.”
But the leather came down on her back.
