Greg Chapter 14
By Michael
mriffon@telcomplus.net

This story is a complete and utter work of fiction.  This story contains
graphic scenes of sex between men.  Moreover if this story is illegal where
you live stop here too. If you are not of legal age where you live, in the
words of BC_Dude, "I refuse to accept the responsibility for the lack of
adequate supervision provided by your parents, so be responsible on your
own."

"Connect four, I win again!" shouted the handsome young man in a child like
voice.

"You are just to good at this game Jason; do you know what today is?" asked
Miss Cook, the young female nurse.

"Yeppers, today's the day I get a surprise visitor with my mommy!" exclaims
the excited man.

The nurse smiles hopping that seeing this one person may help Jason on the
road back to recovery. She takes the college man by the hand and leads him
from the private bedroom in the convalescent home to the visitor lounge.
She watches, as the young man genuinely seems to be giddy and excited about
getting a surprise.  They walk the long corridor as Jason tries to avoid
stepping on the grout lines in the linoleum like a child would.

"Okay Jason, here we are."

Jason looks eagerly around the room spotting his mother with a young man
confined to a wheel chair.  He looks at the man's sad face as it looks up
at him.

"Who dat, Miss Cook?"

"That's your surprise visitor.  His name is Marcus.  Do you remember
Marcus?  He's a good friend of yours."

Jason shakes his head no seeming to become somewhat withdrawn and shy.
Marcus watches his lover as he begins to shy away using the smaller nurse
as a shield.  Marcus lets out a soft sound that somehow seems to have an
odd slur to it as he hangs his head.  Mrs. Jekin's places a reassuring hand
on his shoulder.

"Marcus, just give him more time he will remember, he has to."

Marcus looks up at her with tears in his eyes and begins to speak.  His
seems to speak out of only one side of his mouth causing his speech to
slur.

"I-th can-th hope-th so-th. Can we-th plusease g... g...go now?"

She nods at him as they both look back at the now distracted Jason; who is
busily coloring in a color book.  The nurse walks over to Mrs. Jekin's and
Marcus and begins to speak.

"Give him some more time.  I think repeated exposure to seeing you with
gradual bits of information added each time is vital."

Both agree with her as she continues to reassure them that he is making
progress and that his mental healing like Marcus's physical healing will
take time.

"Hi can I help you, Ma'am?"

Jacob opens the door not expecting to see a young lady in her mid to late
20's on the other side.  He looks the lady up and down suspiciously, but
notices that she has been crying considerably and recently.

She smiles weakly as she begins to speak.

"Yes, I'm here to visit someone."

"Ahh okay, do ya wanna speak to Jim, Justin, Sean, or Kevin? They run the
place." Replies Jacob figuring she wants to speak with the owners.

The girl shakes her head yes. "Yes, I have an appointment with
Mr. Howsers."

"Okay, come on in Ms...?"

"Just call me Kim."

"Okay Kim, have a seat and I'll go get him for ya. I think he's out waxing
his Wing.  Won't take me but a few seconds to get him for ya."

Jacob moves the lady to a large couch inside the main rec room of the
ranch.  She watches as different teens come and go.  Her mind starts to
wonder as she sees some of them, and thinks how did my baby brother get to
this point.

She turns around the room to see an older gentleman with coal black hair
graying just slightly come towards her dressed in cut offs and a white golf
shirt.  She figures him to be Native American or East Indian by his dark
skin, but something about the shape of his eye makes her second guess
herself.

"Hello you must be Greg's sister?"

She nods seeing the young boy who opened the door for her eyes widen. She
smiles weakly.

"Yes, I waited like you said until about 4pm so he wouldn't be here.
H... How... is he?"

Jim's face grows grim for a bit as he process a few replies in head.

"Perhaps we should walk some as we talk Kim?"

She nods not hearing the answer she would like.  She follows the lead of
Jim as they walk the acres of the ranch and along the path of the river
listening to it rapids.

					*****

"So that's it?  He thinks we would be ashamed and hate him cause he is
gay?"

Jim nods to her as she shakes her head in disbelief.

"If only we didn't keep Jason and Marcus from him," she sighs.

"Jason and who?"

She looks at him and begins to explain to him the tragedies that have
occurred with their older brother and his husband.  Jim listens and just
shakes his head somewhat in disbelief and somewhat in irony.

"It's the ripple effect," he replies.

"The ripple effect?"

"You know one action spreads out over the lake and causes ripples to
eventually touch every part of it."

Kim stands there solemnly as the simple metaphor is absorb into her
mind. She looks back to the older gentleman and speaks softly.

"So the only thing we can do is wait for the ripples to stop and the lake
return to normal?"

Jim nods to her as if agreeing with what she says.  He motions for both of
them to start moving back to the ranch. He checks his watch knowing that
soon Jeff and Greg will be arriving.

Kim lets out a sigh.

"I don't know how I will react when I see Greg again? I've missed him so
much, but the pain we've been through is just as a great. I'm worried the
pain will turn to anger."

Jim remains silent wondering if the ranch can hold up under the pressures
this young man has placed on it.

****

Jeff drives the jeep back to the ranch in silence; he is lost in his
reverie of how Greg will react to seeing his sister. He wonders if this
will help them both. His mind continues on this line of thoughts knowing it
will lead to the fact that Greg is dying.  He saw the medical charts his
for his own self.  Greg's body, during his time on the street, was just way
to neglected. He wishes that his own kidneys where compatible with Greg's
he would gladly give Greg both of them.

Greg sits in the passenger seat and finally speaks.

"Your feeling guilty, aren't you?"

Jeff jumps slightly as the silence is broken in the car. He looks at Greg.
He has become accustomed in the last few months that when they are alone
Greg genuinely speaks what is own his mind which results in some brutally
honest statements.

"Yes, a little. If I would have told you I loved you sooner. You wouldn't
have run."

"No Jeff, I would have run faster. I wasn't ready for love yet. Hell, I
don't even know if I'm ready now. I had a lot of baggage and still do. What
has happened to my body is no ones fault but my own. I know that sounds
cruel and self-pitying, but it is the truth. I made my own choices and as
result I have to live them."

Jeff's eyes became misty; he didn't want to hear Greg talking like this.
He knew Greg was right, and knew that Greg was becoming stronger
emotionally, as his body became weaker.  He took one hand from the will and
wiped at his eyes.  He soon felt a hand on his bare knee that made him
jump.

"Wha... Wha.. are you doing Greg?"

"Something I should have done a long time ago.  I know you love me and I
love you though I don't say it much.  I want right now to be our first
time. Please pull over."

Jeff looks at him unsure at who this person is.  He knows that in the
length of time he and Greg have known each other neither have done anything
sexual. He worries the physical stress of love making may be too much for
Greg.  His worry is soon drowned by the massaging Greg's hand does to his
cut off shorts covered cock.  Jeff slowly pulls off by a well-wooded area
that has a small population of Redwoods.  He grabs a blanket from the back
and leads himself and Greg into the woods.


Jeff shivers at the soft touch of Greg's fragile hands on his body. The
fingers that delicately trace patterns over his skin send a mixture of
pleasure and tickles to his brain. He slowly reaches down and grabs hold of
Greg's cock stroking it softly. They both moan into each other's mouths as
they fall back onto the blanket.

Greg gasps out as he can feel his cock being engulfed by Jeff and the
warmth surrounding his head and move down towards the base of his
shaft. His hips buck upwards almost instantly.  He can feel his body
betraying his desire as his hot load starts to deploy into Jeff's
unsuspecting mouth.

Jeff mouth quickly forms a tight seal around the erupting head as his face
registers shock by the sudden and quick orgasm of Greg.

As Greg's slowly relaxes from his orgasm, Jeff can hear the muffled sounds
of sobbing coming from Greg.

"What's wrong baby?"

Greg finally speaks through his sobs.  "I... can't even... make love
right..."

Jeff sighs and moves holding his warm necked body tightly to Greg's.

"No Greg, that was beautiful. Do you know how good it makes me feel to know
that your love me so much that it can cause you to cum so quickly? It makes
me feel like I'm the luckiest man alive. I just hope that you feel the same
as I."

Greg looks up at him trying to search his face to see if this is just
something to make him better. All he can see is honest love in the eyes
looking back at him.  Greg whispers into Jeff's ear.

"I want you end me tonight. I want us to be one forever."

Jeff nods slowly hearing the words he has long to hear come from Greg. He
holds him tighter not noticing the rainstorm has begun.

			**** Both boys entire the ranch drenched to the
bone. Greg's face actually seems happy for once. His happy expression
however is not meant to last.  He hears a familiar voice in the living room
as he looks to Jeff who tries his best to look away hiding his eyes.

Greg tenses visibly as the voice grows closer with each word.  Finally he
can see the face of his sister Kim.  Her eyes are slightly swollen from to
many tears. He looks at the woman now before him.  All are quiet.

"Hello baby brother."

Greg opens his mouth to say something.

****

"Ouch!" hollers the college man as the nurse pricks his finger.

The nurse looks at him sympathetically as she puts a "Snoopy" Band-Aid on
his finger. She pauses long enough to look at the handsome young man and
wonder how he got so fucked mentally. She exits taking the vial of blood to
the lads to see if he can be a compatible donor for his brother.

As she leaves the boys mother and other young college man return, both with
similar bandages on them. The college man is walking now but with a cane
and noticeable limp.

"Hello baby, I brought a visitor with me. You remember Marcus?"

"Yep I sure DO!"

Both of them look hopeful at him, but the hope soon fades as he speaks.

"You're the guy that was in the wheelchair last time!"

"Yes he is, but I have another surprise for you too. Greg is coming home."

"Greg? Who is he?"

Both Marcus and Mrs. Jenkins look at each other with shocked and horrified
faces. They weren't ready for this as a reply.

				*****

Greg stands stiff as Kim hugs him. He mind is racing with questions. He can
hear her say 'I love you,' but it doesn't register. His mind continues to
race as words slip out.

"What are you doing here?"

She draws back looking at him a bit shock.

"I found the ranch and contacted Ms. Howers."

"You shouldn't have come; I won't nothing to do with you racist bigots!"

Kim looks shocked and hurt, but her own anger and temper that seems to be
the driving trait in this family takes over. Without thinking she opens up
her own mouth.

"How dare you say that? Do you know the hell and pain you've caused? Your
brother is in a hospital cause he thinks he is mentally a ten year
old. Marcus may be forever partially paralyzed on one side of his body. And
the rest of us are emotional wrecks!"

"Good serves you all right! Do you know how much it hurt me to hear you
guys talk about homosexuals like they where nothing? The jokes you and
Jason would make. The way dad would look at an effeminate gay couple?"

Kim looks shocked not realizing that Greg felt this way. She knew that the
only reason she joked with Jason was cause he would start the joking
first. She starts to speak than pauses than starts up again. She speaks in
a soft voice praying that this will work.

"Jason and Marcus are gay and lovers."

Greg looks at her his eyes widen than narrow.

"Bullshit, you trying to tell me that to make things okay. Than why would
they make jokes like that if they where gay?"

"I... I... don't know Greg? Maybe they are more comfortable with it than
you. I'm sorry that no one told you they where gay?"

"No one told me?"

Greg looks at her confused but the anger still present in his eyes. She
looks down as she takes another breath the anger in her being replaced by
the sorrow of the secrets and lies that have caused so much pain and
suffering.

"Jason and Marcus thought that you couldn't handle it; they loved you so
much that would have rather kept themselves secret from you than risk
having you hate them for being gay. The family respected their wishes. No
one ever knew that you where gay."

Greg looks at her. He starts to speak but suddenly feels a bit dizzy. He
looks to Jeff and as if telepathically Jeff moves to Greg just as he about
to collapse and catches him.
