Fighting for Love

"Things Have To Change"

Peter and his family had left the hospital helping Wesley get around on the way. The car ride home was very awkward. no one had said anything nor did anyone want to. Yvonne and Dennis followed them in their own car but it was just as silent. The night before played on repeat in Peters head, reliving everything that happened and physically reliving the pain. Wesley was exhausted even though in the hospital he slept for awhile. upon arriving home everyone helped Wesley to Peters room. Peters mom and dad still very mad that someone actually tried to kill either one of them. after making it up the stairs and in the room they left Wesley and Peter to talk.

"Wesley.....I'm so sorry that this happened."

" don't be sorry Peter. It wasn't your fault. don't apologize for something someone else did."

" But...I should have been there I should have helped sooner." Peter says as he angrily wipes things off of his dresser.

The items hit the floor with a loud thump, causing Wesley to jump.

" Peter, stop. in the end you did end up helping. we're okay now."

"Wesley what If we aren't that lucky next time....What if we die next time?"

" I'm sure we won't die and I feel like the worst has already happened. But I agree that Things have got to change."

Peter, who was still at the dresser, turned around to face Wesley. His face in a confused manner. he thought about how on earth they could change something so bad in a world that is so unforgiving. Wesley saw the face and started mentally laughing.

" of course they have to change but how do we change something so bad in a world that is so unforgiving, it's impossible Wesley."

" It's not impossible, it just takes a lot of work, even though it's just the two of us we can still change things. All it takes is to inspire one person. Even if we change one life then we have changed how things work."

" Do you really think so?"

" I know so, Things have got to change one way or another."

" How would we even start something this big."

" Baby steps? I really don't know all I know is that I want to at least do something."

" Have any ideas?"

".......wait.....do you have other social media other than Facebook?"

"yeah Instagram and twitter. why?"

" maybe we can start there post a message or something. We can't do much but at least it's something it's a start."

" Sounds great but......why my profile?"

" It's bad enough that i'm like this. now I can't imagine the backlash I would get for something like this on my account. Calvin already posted about last night saying some awful things and still most people agree with him so I thought it would be good with yours. I can do it on mine if you want."

" no, for your safety we can do it on mine. but why would people give me less backlash?"

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah"

"Peter have you seen yourself your friggin hot....I mean gorgeous like perfect. From your slightly tanned skin to your semi muscular arms to your chest which I've seen and I approve.......and your legs they're skinny but yet muscular and you're just perfect!!!!"

".......really? you think that of me?"

" oh and I forgot the way you blush your perfect white teeth and your truly amazing hair and my favorite....your bright blue eyes."

( I don't remember what eye color I made him.)

Peters eyes lit up and face turned bright red. He tried his best to cover it up or even calm down but he failed. Wesley looked at him and also started blushing, Peter looked so cute to him.

" W......t......n......Wesley, I had no idea you felt anywhere near that about me."

" well I do, I just never told you because we've only dated for such a short time."

" it doesn't matter if you feel something for someone you should tell them."

" Peter you are totally right but I couldn't help but keep it because I really didn't want to lose you."

"Wesley there is no way that you will ever lose me. You've been beat up twice and to me I am more drawn to you than ever. you're are one of the strongest people I know....it may not be physically but its mentally. You take what comes at you and you roll with it......Now what do you say.....shall we finally change the world?"

" lets."

Wesley slowly eased his way off the bed. Peter did the same but stayed a ways back to help Wesley. He smiled as his boyfriend motivated himself to walk to the computer that was only a few feet away. His heart dropped and he fell even more in love with Wesley. He finally reached the chair as Peter grabbed an arm to help him down. Wesley smiled and spun the chair around to the already on computer. He clicked on the Facebook icon and had Peter sign in.

immediately after that Wesley began typing the message he wanted to send to the world, he thought if he tried to the change the world something good might actually come out of it. he typed for what seemed like forever with Peter right there by his side. Peter supported Wesley at his worst and he supported him now even though they are risking ever coming back from what has happened.

" Peter......are you sure you want to do this? After we post this there is no coming back."

" Wesley, I love you and I love what you want to do. As long as I have you we'll be fine."

Wesley blushed and posted the message on Facebook....he then proceeded to copy it and post on every social media from the phone. When Wesley moved Peter sat down and read the post out of curiosity.

"I am Wesley,Peters boyfriend, and this is for all the people who mock and criticize our relationship......stop. I mean really stop, stop judging us and stop trying to convince everyone that we are the worst people, just stop. Peter and I now have to live in constant fear that something or someone bad may come along. Thanks to all the haters Peter and I have been sent to the hospital....I've been beaten up twice and Peter receives more hate emails than anyone alive. I get that you don't like gays and that's ok you have the right to your opinion but you don't have to threaten us over it. Everyone, no matter who they are, deserve the same liberties and freedoms. I am gay and that much is true and you saying how much you hate me or want me to die it doesn't change anything. You all act as if I chose to be gay as if I want to ruin your life....well guess what, I didn't and I don't. I didn't choose to be gay it's just the way I am, I find guys attractive and I can't help that. I also don't want to ruin your life all I want to do is love who I want. Because of you I was terrified to tell my own boyfriend I love him, we can't even go on dates because every time we leave the house someone tries to kill us and I am being serious. Peter and I are forced indoors but if anything it has made our relationship stronger than ever. because of what has happened recently I have decided to come on here and tell everyone that no matter what you say it changes nothing. you guys want to be with who you love but gays aren't allowed to. We are people to, no different than you, all we want is to love who we want without fear. Look around you gays are everywhere whether or not you can see them. Every one is different in some way so to all the haters stop acting like you are perfect, it's people like you who cause gays to commit suicide or even murder others. you ruin peoples' lives and don't think twice. Stop acting perfect and let people be themselves. Give people a chance to prove themselves to others. Let them enjoy what others get to.....Let them be who they were meant to be. you can't control the world or adapt to it."

Peter smiled and felt very inspired by the words. even if the post didn't help that much it gave Wesley and Peter a chance.
