All the usual disclaimers apply. If for some reason, you shouldn't be
reading this, then don't, okay? If you do, neither I nor Nifty will be
responsible if the bogey men catch up with you!

As far as the story goes, this is crunch time. Nathan and Brad may try to
look after Chris by keeping the Yardie Boys away from him, but they can't
be around all the time; there's bound to be a showdown sooner or later,
isn't there?

I've been very grateful for all the feedback that I've had in recent
weeks; it's been very encouraging. However, more is always welcome and
I never fail to reply to it. So if you have not written before, or if
you've not written for a while, please send your comments to

                         CHAPTER TWENTY NINE

Well, that was quite a week. I never imagined things would go as  far
as  they  did. Even so, I missed being able to hang out with  Michael
and  the  rest of the gang, you know, just to be an ordinary  kid;  I
hope that gets sorted out soon. Daryl's okay, but apart from the  sex
he's not great company; well, not for me he isn't.

The week finished well. At the Young Athletes League match we weren't
against any of our major rivals. Me and Tom ran away from everyone in
our  race;  I  won  in four minutes fifty eight with  Tom  running  a
fraction quicker than he did last time. The match was no contest;  we
won  by over a hundred points. Still, it was good experience and  I'm
getting  to know a few of the other boys; I feel more like  I  belong
now.

Nathan  and Sam have been putting themselves around school just  like
Nathan  said they would; Courtney hasn't been near me all day. Nathan
will  get  his reward later; once they've shooed The Yardie Boys  off
the  premises I'll follow him back home and let him fuck  me  stupid.
I'm  not  sure  if Sam knows about that part, but I won't  be  saying
anything! I'd have preferred to go straight home and change out of my
school  uniform before going to Nathan's house, but it  was  what  he
suggested  so I'm not objecting. I'll meet him by the main gate  five
minutes after school finishes and we'll take it from there.

It's  afternoon tutor group; we're given our school reports  to  take
home.  The school year is not quite over, but the year seven parents'
evening is in two weeks time and we get our reports before that.  The
bell goes for the end of school and Mr. Sheridan sends us on our way.
I  stroll  down to the gym corridor to check the team  list  for  the
match  this  Friday.  It's  not that I  want  to  see  my  name;  I'm
interested in who else is on the team. I know some of the older  boys
compete  for the club as well, but I don't know them yet; I  want  to
see if I recognise any of the names. I study the list for a minute or
two  then  check  my  watch. It's time to  go.  I  head  towards  the
playground  without a care in the world; Nathan will have  made  sure
that Courtney's well on his way by now.

Only  he hasn't. As I emerge from the building the three of them  are
heading  right towards me; Nathan and Sam are nowhere!  Shit!  I  can
tell from the expression on Courtney's face that this is trouble.  It
was  `cause of me he had to spend a week and a bit with Mr.  Birkett.
It's  like he doesn't give a fuck what happens afterwards; he's going
to  get me back for it and he's going to do it now. If I'd made it to
the middle of the playground I could outrun the lot of them, but I've
hardly got out of the door; they've got me boxed in.

"We've been waiting for you, batty boy!" he sneers.

I don't say anything, just stare straight back at him.

"You  like  suckin'  dick, batty boy?" he asks. "You  wanna  suck  my
dick?"

I still don't answer.

"You  lost your tongue, batty boy?" he snarls. "I asked if you  wanna
suck my dick!"

"No!" I say emphatically.

"Why not?" he asks, his tone getting even more aggressive. "You're  a
batty boy, everyone knows that! And batty boys suck dick; aint'  that
right boys?"

I've  had enough of this. "Yeah, I'm gay!" I snap back at him.  "What
the fuck's it got to do with you?"

"Don't you diss me, batty boy!" he says, slapping me across the face.
He's  wearing  a ring; that fuckin' hurts! "You ain't sayin'  there's
something  wrong with my dick, are you?" he adds, daring  me  to  say
there is. I keep my mouth shut.

"Well,  that's  good,  `cause  you're  gonna  suck  it  anyway!"   he
announces.

Yeah,  well that's what he thinks. If there's one dick in  the  whole
world  I  don't  want to suck, it's his. Last winter  sometime  James
rented  the film `Dirty Pretty Things' for us to watch while  he  was
looking  after me. If you've seen it you'll have a pretty  good  idea
what I'm going to do.

They  push me into a corner; I look to see if there's a way out,  but
with three of them around me, there just isn't. Courtney grabs me  by
the  shoulders  and pushes me down. He's so much bigger  and  heavier
than I am, I don't stand a chance. He forces me onto my knees, unzips
his  trousers  and pulls his dick out. It's around six  inches,  very
thick  for a kid our age and rock hard. Dalton grabs the back  of  my
head and pushes me down on it.

This  is  it. I've got one shot; I've got to make it count.  I  don't
care  if I get my head kicked in afterwards; everybody will know what
they  did.  I  suck smoothly up and down it a couple of  times.  They
relax; Dalton even takes his hand away. As I come up the third  time,
I open my mouth as wide as I can.

"See, boys," Courtney says, "he likes .. YEOWWWWW!!!!"

I  snap my jaws shut, my teeth sinking into his dick just behind  the
head.  Before he's had a chance to react I pull off and punch him  in
the  balls. I'm still boxed in though; if I can barge Dalton  out  of
the  way I might just get out of this in one piece, but it's  a  long
shot. Suddenly Courtney goes flying backwards as someone grabs him by
the collar. I take the chance to get back on my feet, expecting it to
be Sam or Nathan; it's not, it's Liam.

"What  d'you think you're doing?" he asks angrily, spinning  Courtney
round.

"Diss batty boy wanted to suck my dick, so I let him do it," Courtney
says, stuffing his cock back in his pants.

"No  he didn't; you were making him!" Liam retorts. "I saw you, dirty
bastard!"

I  don't believe this. Liam's a superb athlete but I've been in class
with  him  all year and he's one of the quietest kids I've ever  met,
yet  here he is mixing it with the one kid on the year who's actually
bigger  than  he  is,  well heavier anyway. It  seems  like  Courtney
doesn't believe it either.

"Fuck off!" he barks.

It's  a  bad  mistake; Liam hits him flush on the nose.  He  staggers
backwards,  blood trickling down his face. It was like he  never  saw
it. Fuck! It was so fast I never saw it! Suddenly Courtney stuffs his
hand  in  his pocket and pulls it back out. Something's catching  the
sun.  Holy shit! He's got a knife! He lunges forwards but Liam's  too
quick and dodges out of the way. There's a stand-off, the two of them
facing each other. It's like I've been totally forgotten.

"Do  him,  Courtney!" Dalton squeals, bouncing up and down, his  back
half turned towards me.

I  come up behind the little shit and kick him in the thigh; he  hops
around  on  his other leg, howling in pain. In the next  instant  the
knife  goes  cartwheeling through the air as Liam  kicks  it  out  of
Courtney's hand. Then there's a flurry of fists, all Liam's, only  it
doesn't  seem like a flurry; it's like I'm watching it in  super-slow
motion:  a  right hand under the rib-cage, a straight left  into  the
face  and another right that hits Courtney full on the jaw.  He  goes
down like one of those tower blocks that's been blown up; very slowly
at  first, then he just collapses in a heap. Suddenly there are  kids
everywhere; two minutes ago the place was deserted.

There's a call of "Kick his head in!"

Liam  doesn't comply; just stands at the ready in case Courtney  gets
back  up. He doesn't; he's not going anywhere. Dalton hobbles  across
to retrieve the knife.

"Don't  touch  that!" a familiar voice shouts. Dalton  shrinks  back;
Nathan strides forward, pulls out a handkerchief and picks it up.  He
comes  across to me; he's as white as a sheet and shaking  even  more
than I am.

"What happened?" he asks quietly.

I tell him the story as simply as I can.

"You, errr, you bit his dick?" he whispers.

"Yeah."

"Fuck!  I knew you had some bottle, but that's really something!"  he
whispers.  "Shit!  I'm  so sorry! Mr. Burgess  held  us  back  for  a
prefects'  meeting.  Now the year thirteen lads are  on  their  exams
we're  in  charge; he wanted to give us a pep-talk, we  couldn't  get
out."

"It's  not your fault," I say quietly. "Liam's a fuckin' hero, taking
him on like that."

Courtney starts to move; Sam grabs him by the shoulders and drags him
to his feet.

"You are fuckin' history!" he snarls.

Courtney  can  barely stand up, there's still blood coming  from  his
nose and his right eye's starting to close. He is a mess! Dalton  and
Luther  are cowering in the corner; Luther's starting to cry. Several
teachers  have come out to deal with the situation; Mr. Birkett,  Mr.
Standen, Mr. Maynard and a couple I don't know. Nathan and Liam  tell
Mr  Birkett what happened while the rest of them shoo the other  kids
away.  There's the sound of a police siren. A minute later two police
officers are striding towards us. Mr. Birkett gives them a brief run-
down  on what's happened, although me and Liam are standing a  little
bit away from them so we can't hear what's being said. Then they come
across to us.

"So,  you  gave  this lad a beating?" the older  one  says  to  Liam,
jerking his head in Courtney's direction.

"I  saw him and his mates attacking Chris, so I grabbed him and asked
him  what he thought he was doing." Liam says calmly. "He told me  to
fuck  off  so I smacked him on the nose. Then he pulled a knife  out.
Well, I managed to get it off him then I put him on the floor."

"Got  an  anger problem, have you son?" the copper asks in a sneering
tone.

"No,  I don't," Liam says coolly. "If I did, I'd have kicked his head
in."

"You hit him hard enough for him to have to go to hospital as it is,"
the cop continues. "You might have broken his jaw."

This  is  mad! This is all Courtney's fault; now it sounds  like  the
coppers  want  to  blame  Liam for it. To my  amazement,  Liam  seems
totally unfazed by it.

"Well, I'm not going to mess about with someone who's pulled a  knife
on  me,"  he says evenly. "And anyway, it's not how hard a punch  is;
it's  how you land it. I could throw that last punch a hundred  times
and not land it like that; he walked right onto it."

"You a boxer then?" the copper asks.

"Used to be; don't do it any more, I don't have time. Athletics is my
main sport, high jump, javelin, discus, that sort of thing. I play in
goal for the school soccer team too."

"A  bit  of  an  all-rounder then," the cop comments, moderating  his
tone.

"Yeah,  I guess," Liam says. "I want to do decathlon when I'm  a  bit
older."

"Well,  you  be  careful,"  the man warns.  "You  could  really  hurt
somebody; then you would be in trouble."

They  wander back to speak to Mr. Birkett. After a brief conversation
all  five of us are taken back into school and put in separate rooms.
Courtney's  in Mr. Birkett's room, Luther in the deputy head's  room,
Liam and Dalton in two other rooms close by. I'm put into the waiting
room that looks out onto the main foyer. Sam and Nathan are out there
like  on guard duty but it seems like they're not allowed to talk  to
anyone. I sit there for maybe five minutes. Mr. Sheridan appears;  he
comes into the waiting room and closes the door.

"So what happened this time?" he asks quietly.

I  tell  it  exactly like it was. I don't say anything about  hanging
around  to  meet Nathan of course, but he doesn't need to know  about
that.

"Well," he says, when I've finished, "What Courtney's saying is  that
you  offered  to,  er. suck him off if he'd leave you  alone,  so  he
agreed. Then he says that when Liam intervened he did not tell him to
fuck  off;  Liam just hit him. He agrees he pulled a knife  out,  but
says  it  was only to defend himself; he says he never tried to  stab
anyone, then Liam just went mad."

"He's a bloody liar!" I snap.

"Yeah,  you  can say that; unfortunately the police have to  take  it
seriously. They can't be seen to be taking sides. Right at the moment
it's your word against his."

"That  one  copper, the older one, was horrible to Liam," I  protest.
"He pretty well accused him of attacking Courtney for nothing!"

"Yeah,  well  they need to make sure they get the full  picture,"  he
says,  like he's making an excuse he doesn't really believe. "I guess
they have to do that sometimes."

"So what have Dalton and Luther said?" I ask.

"Nothing  much,"  he  says. "Dalton just keeps saying  he  wants  his
social worker here before he answers any questions. Still, I think we
might get the proper story pretty soon; we've contacted Luther's mum,
she's on her way over."

We wait in silence; there's not much to be said. Several more minutes
pass. The main door opens and a large black woman enters. She's got a
face like thunder. Mr. Sheridan goes out to meet her. He takes her to
the deputy head's room. Fuck! This must be Luther's mum! It's amazing
that she's so big when he's so small.

"Luther!" she screams as he opens the door. "I told you to stay  away
from dem boys!"

Luther  bursts  into tears. His mum and Mr. Sheridan  go  inside  and
close  the  door.  Everything's quiet again. Ten  minutes  later  Mr.
Sheridan emerges. He comes straight back to the waiting room.

"You  and Liam can go home now," he says with a little smile  on  his
face. "Luther has confirmed your story in every detail."

"Just  one  thing, sir," I ask, almost in a whisper. "The knife  that
Courtney had, it was for me, wasn't it?"

He  swallows hard. "Yes, well at least that's what Luther's told us,"
he  says,  looking uncomfortable. "But you don't have to worry  about
Courtney any more; he'll be in a secure unit. Even after he gets out,
and that'll be a while, he'll be placed in foster care in a different
part  of  the country. You won't see him round here again. I'm  sorry
you've  had  to  go through this; nothing like it has  ever  happened
here."

The  copper who was in with Luther strides into Mr. Birkett's office.
There are sounds of a disturbance; Mr. Birkett's shouting at Courtney
to   empty  his  pockets.  I  don't  know  what  that's  about.  Then
everything's quiet again. We go out into the foyer.

"Sam, tell Liam he can go home, please," Mr. Sheridan says. "Then you
guys  can get off; I'll stay with Dalton till his social worker  gets
here. "Are you okay to walk home?" he asks me, looking concerned.

"I'll go with him," Nathan says, "I only live round the corner."

The  four  of us wander slowly out of the building. I'm still  pretty
shell-shocked, make that very shell-shocked. I can't get  out  of  my
head what Courtney meant to do; after I'd finished sucking him off he
was  going  to stab me. That is sick! Even worse, Dalton  and  Luther
knew  that  was what he was going to do and went along  with  it.  So
what's going to happen to them?

At the school gate we split up; Sam goes with Liam, but he only lives
round  the  corner  anyway. I can't believe what  Liam  did;  he  was
awesome!  It  wasn't  just the way he dealt with Courtney,  answering
that  copper without getting upset, fuck, that was unbelievable! With
him  being so quiet most of the time I'd never have thought  he'd  be
able to do that.

We  walk  in  silence  for several minutes.  It's  been  a  difficult
experience  for  both  of us; I don't have much  to  talk  about  and
Nathan's  like  he's afraid of saying the wrong thing.  I'm  sure  he
thinks  he  let me down `cause he wasn't there at the end of  school,
but  it wasn't his fault; he wasn't to know Mr. Burgess was going  to
keep them all behind.

"Are we going to your place?" I say at last.

  "Don't you think it'd be better if I just walked you home?"  Nathan
says gently.

"I  sort  of need to be with someone," I say quietly. "I know  you're
busy; just half an hour if that's okay."

"Don't  worry about me," he says, smiling and sounding more  relaxed.
"I can get my work done this evening; it's no problem."

A few minutes later he's letting us in through the front door.

"Want a drink?" he asks.

"Yeah, thanks."

"How about a cup of tea? Help to settle you down a bit, yeah?"

"Yeah; tea's good."

We  sit opposite each other at the kitchen table; my head's still all
over  the  place. I'd thought Courtney might want to give me  a  good
kicking; I'd no idea he was going to do anything like that.

"Are  we  going to your bedroom?" I ask. "You know, so  that  we  can
cuddle up together."

"Are you sure that's what you want?" he says warily.

"Yes."

He  leads  the way upstairs. I can't believe I got him  so  wrong;  I
thought  all  he wanted was to give me a quick fuck like  he  did  at
school, but he's not like that at all.

"What time do your mum and dad get home?" I enquire.

"Half past five, quarter to six, that sort of time," he says.

It's almost quarter to five; that might be long enough for me to  get
my  head  straightened out a bit. We strip down to our underwear  and
get  onto the bed. I snuggle right up to him. He runs his hands  over
my  back and my shoulders, gently massaging me. I just lie there  and
let him do it.

"You're  so  tense," he whispers. "There's something  bothering  you;
something you're not telling me."

"You  know  the  knife Courtney had?" I say, looking right  into  his
eyes. "That was meant for me. After he'd made me suck him off, he was
going to stab me. I knew as soon as I saw it that's what he'd got  it
for."

"Maybe," he says cautiously. "You can't be sure of that."

"I asked Mr. Sheridan; that's what Luther told them."

I start sobbing; I just can't help it.

"Let it go, Chris," Nathan says quietly. "Let it come out. People say
boys don't cry, but they do."

He  holds  me  very gently, my head resting on his chest.  Right  now
there's nowhere else I'd want to be. Five minutes pass, maybe  a  few
more.  My  head  feels clearer and my tears have gone.  Without  even
thinking  about it, I kiss him full on the lips. He opens  his  mouth
slightly, allowing my tongue to push inside. Moments later we're into
some  full-on  tongue wrestling. I'm suddenly hard in  my  briefs.  I
reach down; he's hard too.

"Wow!" he whispers. "You're amazing!"

I  lick my way down his body, spending time first on one nipple  then
the  other. I move down to his tummy-button; he strokes my hair, just
letting  me  do what I want. I reach the waistband of his  boxers.  I
could pull them down, but that'd take too long. I get his cock out of
the opening and plunge right down on it; this is a dick I do want  to
suck! He moves me round so that my crotch is by his face, skinning my
briefs down my legs. A moment later my cock is engulfed in his  warm,
wet  mouth.  This  is  so  perfect;  the  warmth,  the  togetherness,
everything about it. After what happened, I really need this. I don't
know why and to be honest I don't care; I just do. After a couple  of
minutes we roll apart.

"Are you going to fuck me?" I ask.

"Uh, huh," he says, shaking his head.

He  snuggles up with me, his arm round my shoulder. "You went through
a really bad experience back there," he says, looking me right in the
eye.  "You're  pretty shaken up at the moment; it  just  wouldn't  be
right. We can do it some other time if that's what you want."

We  lie  there in silence; it doesn't seem like there's much else  to
say.

"You really pulled me up short last week," he says at last, "made  me
think  about  the way I treat people. You thought I was  a  knob-head
`cause I acted like one; I need to learn from that, yeah?"

"Yeah, I guess."

"So I'm not going to screw it up by fucking you when you've just been
through  an  experience  like that, and end up  with  you  hating  me
again,"  he  says, gently stroking my cheek. He gives me a  beautiful
smile. "There is one thing I can do for you though."

He  scoots  down, resting his head on my tummy. A moment  later  he's
sucking  me off, his hands expertly massaging my legs. Oh, fuck!  The
sensations are unbelievable! I gently stroke his hair, lying back and
trying  to  relax, hoping to make it last. Well, it does,  about  two
minutes!  Suddenly  I'm  gasping like  an  old  steam  engine,  balls
tightening, my fingers clawing at the bed. Then I explode,  my  spunk
squirting  over  and  over into his mouth. He  swallows  every  drop,
licking the tip of my cock to make sure he hasn't missed any. Finally
he pulls away and flops down next to me.

 "D'you feel better now?" he whispers.

"Yeah, a lot better, thanks," I say, licking his nose.

"Well  sorry, but it's ten past five; I'm going to have to  kick  you
out," he says, giving me a sad smile.

"No  problem," I say, smiling back at him. "Thanks for looking  after
me."

Five minutes later I'm on my way home. I'm glad we did that; it would
have  been so easy to say it wasn't the right time, but somehow  it's
eased  all  the  tension away, I feel like me again. I'm  a  bit  sad
though. Now I've got to know him, Nathan's really nice, nothing  like
the  arsehole I thought he was. I'd love to have him as a  boyfriend,
but  it's not going to happen. We can't hang out together because  of
the age difference. He's not going to risk everything he's worked for
by  doing  that  and  I  can't  say I blame  him,  but  it's  getting
frustrating; the ones who are available I don't really like, the ones
I do really like aren't available. Brad said that there's someone out
there for me; I just wish I could find him.
