Rejection

Sunday

Hay hay wake up
Ugh what time is it
5:30
What I thought it was Saturday
No it's Sunday we need to set up the church
Ugh fine I need to get dressed
Okay be quick
I will god
Hay watch your language
Okay just go
He shuts the door
Riley thinks to themselves I think I want to be a guy today oh shit I have church I will have to do that Monday dammit
They put on a girly top and pair of Jeans and grabs a bandana and runs downstairs
Finally dad sighs
I didn't take that long
I was just joking don't be so literal
Ugh you're the one who taught me to be literal
No that was your mom
Okay whatever
Hay do you have everything dad asks
Ya as Riley grabs her bag
Okay where off then
Dad shuts the door and they run of to the truck
Where here
Okay where's Ben
Oh he had a meeting today and he can't make it
It will just be me you Mo Gill
Okay cool beans
They finish setting up
Hay dad do we have to go to church today or can we just go home
No we are going to church
Okay
Let's go home and get some chores done okay
Sure
They get in the truck and go home
The dad ends up falling asleep on the couch and Riley goes upstairs to do Landry
Riley wakes her dad up
Hay it's time to get going
Thanks
They get in the truck and head to church listening to Christian music
When they get to church Riley walks in nervously and says hello to greeter at the door
Well hi there it's nice to see you today Riley
Nice to see you mike
Riley here's whispers in the background that's a girl who told her parents she was a lesbian UGG what a disgrace I would hate to have a child like that no one wants her here why is she even here no one cares about her we should just tell her she can't come anymore hopeless girl if she can't find her way out of this place that no one can find help if she was my daughter I would've disowned her by now
Riley runs to the restroom and starts crying Riley says to yourself you can't start crying now you have to walk out there and show them that you could enough to be here god I don't even want to be here
She walks out and church is already started she had to the back to help with children's Riley thinks I don't have to listen to other bullshit if I help with children's that's the only place I feel I belong
She walks over to children's
Hello mrs Debbi
Hello Riley haw was your week
Good
How about you
Good
Oh and mrs Debbie I was wondering if you needed any extra help in children's
Oh that would be wonderful we have a shortage of helpers today would you mind helping in infants
I would love to
Thank you sweetheart
No problem
Riley heads over to infants and she helps out with Samantha (the adult running infants) until church is over then she heads home with her dad
When they get home her dad asks her why does everybody think you're a lesbian Riley says it's because I am Dad I thought I told you and Mom about this he replies you did but I thought you were joking and if you we're a 17-year-old shouldn't be deciding what gender they are you're too young to decide your entire life
Riley replies I thought this sends I could think I think I know what I'm doing and I'm not deciding my entire life this is how I feel now when I feel that it's important I know that you don't care for these types of talks but they really want you to appreciate me
Her dad said sternly you will never talk about this with your mother around and you will never say anything about this ever again do you hear me I do not care what you think I just care about the reputation of our family in the church and with all of these rumors spreading we are getting you worst reputation than the ronsans Next week you need to clear up all of these rumors and all of these decisions you've made in the past few months are I will  make them for you
Riley replace quietly fine then then if you don't appreciate me or go somewhere that does
Riley packs everything and heads up the house
