Chapter Three - Part Three

Kristen’s face was at its ugliest. I could have sworn I could see the veins popping out of her perfect skin. It was terrifying.

“I always knew you’d turn out wrong, you sick little girl,” she said.

I had prepared myself for this onslaught as soon as I saw her but the words still hurt.

“There’s nothing wrong with me.”

“You’ve been tainted by the Devil. You need to beg God’s forgiveness or you’ll be sent straight to hell, homosexual.”

I saw a flame spark in Andrea’s eyes; she stood up and put her hands on her hips. She was only wearing boy-shorts and a singlet but there was something fierce about her. I felt a rush of affection.

“Kristen, I’d like you to leave now. This is Evelyn’s house and you have no right to insult her in her own home.”

“She’s an ill child; I’m taking her to her parents. You better stay out of this, lesbian. This is probably all your doing in the first place.”

“You’re not taking her anywhere. Please leave before I call the police.”

There was a force in her voice that caused even Kristen’s face to slip a little. I could see Kristen’s brain ticking. She was weighing up the options.

“I’ll go, but this won’t be the last you’ll hear of me. You can count on that, queer.”

She banged the front door closed behind her and I heard her car screech away. I relaxed a little and looked up at Andrea.

She walked over to where I was sitting and hugged my head against her belly. It was soft and warm and she smelled so good. Nevertheless, I couldn’t help but worry about Kristen’s threat.
