(Two Days Later)

I woke up on a Friday Morning and finally felt almost
my old self again. Except for one thing: The test
results. They were due back today. I was so nervous.
What would they say? Would I have HIV? or would I have
something worse? Or would I be alright? I hoped I was
alright and that that monster who raped me wasn't
infected with anything.

Danny in the meantime had been wonderful these last
two days. He took the other day off from school to
spend the day with me. We played cards, watched TV,
and basically just talked about our friends and then
we talked about Amanda a little bit too. I asked him
how she was doing, and he said she was fine and that
he missed her like hell. Amanda had gone away to
college in California while Danny had stayed in
Chicago, Illinois to go to school. I told him to be
patient and that Amanda would come home soon. He said
he hoped so.

I picked up the phone and dialed Danny's home number.
He answered on the first ring.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Danny, I said to him, It's me, Sean, what's up?"

"Hi, Sean, how are you holding up today?, he wanted to
know."

"I'm nervous as hell, Danny, not to mention scared out
of my mind. I confessed to him. Today I'll know
whether I'm gonna live or die."

"Don't talk like that, Sean, I have a feeling that
you're gonna be fine. He said. while trying to comfort
me, proving once again what a great guy he was, and
how lucky I was to have him in my life.

"I hope so, Will you swing by here after your classes?
I asked him."

"Actually man, I"ve gotten all my homework and
everything else I need from my professors so I can
spend the entire day with you today as well. I told my
professors that a friend of mine was raped and is now
waiting for test results to see if he has any STDs.
They were so understanding."

I was shocked, Today was Friday and knowing Danny, he
had plenty of tests and exams on Fridays. I was blown
away that he would skip all those tests just to be
there for me. I had always hated tests and exams when
I was in high school.

"But Danny, what about all those tests and exams you
always have on Fridays. You're going to miss them." I
don't want you to flunk your courses." I told him.

"Nonsense man, He said. MY professors said that I
could make them up on Monday when I go back, so now we
have the weekend all to ourselves. But I'll swing by
the hospital once I've finished all my homework. The
last thing I want to deal with is homework when I
could be hanging out with you for the rest of the day
and weekend."

"Oh, alright. I said, I"ll see you later then?

"Yeah I should be there around 1:00pm. he replied
back."

"OK. I said, smiling. I'll see you later. Bye.

"Bye. he said back."

I hung up the phone, just as one of the nurses was
coming in to check up on me. I started to get tense
almost immediately.

 "Nurse, I asked, Have you heard anything about my
test results yet?"

The nurse smiled and said. "Actually yes, I just came
to tell you that the lab called and said the test
results are ready and they'll be sent up soon. She
then left the room. I sat back in the bed and decided
to watch TV to pass the time. I"m just glad that I had
a room to myself so I could watch whatever I wanted
and have the volume up high enough that I could hear
without someone telling me to turn it down. I started
flipping through the channels, and as I came to MTV, I
noticed a music video of 98 Degrees playing. They were
singing "All Because Of You" and sounded great as
usual, but then again when don't they?

But as soon as I saw Nick, singing into the camera, I
saw flashbacks of that night I told him and Drew that
I was gay, How cold he had been and walked out on me,
and the man who raped me. I changed the channel as I
felt the first two tears make their way down my face.
I wiped them away, and tried not to think about it.
After all, I didn't want Danny to see me like this
when he came to visit later. So I flipped through the
remaining channels until I came across a celebrity
profile of Chris O' Donnell on The Lifetime Channel. I
decided to watch that, since I'd always thought Chris
was cute, and I'd had a crush on him. I listened to
him as he told his life story about the ups and down
of his career and how he managed to keep it together.
I actually got so into his story, that I didn't notice
that it was 1:00p.m. and that Danny had walked into
the room. As soon as he put his hand on my shoulder, I
jumped in fright and turned towards him, ready to
attack, until I realized it was Danny.

"Whoa Sean, calm down, it's just me." He said as he
jumped back thinking that I was gonna punch his lights
out. I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shit! Danny, you could have said something, instead
of deciding to try and give me a heart attack you
know." I said, nervously.

"I did try, He said, as he walked back over to sit in
his chair beside my bed. I actually called out to you
a few times, but you were so wrapped up in the TV that
you didn't even hear me, so I decided to shake you to
get your attention. What are you watching anyway?"

I smiled at him,before replying. "I'm watching Chris
O' Donnell's Celebrity Profile. I must really have
been into it not to hear or notice you come in. I
can't believe it's 1:00 already. Danny looked at me
and shook his head, all the while with a big smirk on
his face.

"What? I said when I noticed his smirk. He started to
laugh. "I should have known you'd be watching him to
get so engrossed in the TV to not hear me come in. He
answered me. With the exception of Nick, He's the next
guy you've had a thing for."

As soon as he mentioned Nick, my face fell and his
eyes widened when he realized what he had done. "Shit
Sean, I'm so sorry. He apologized. I didn't mean to
bring him up." Danny looked at me with concern written
all over his face. I smiled to let him know that I was
alright.

"Don't worry, Danny, I reassured him. It was an honest
slip. You're forgiven. And besides you're right about
what you said. I definitely do have a thing for him.
He probably wouldn't have treated me the way Nick did
if he knew that I was gay.

Danny nodded. "I agree with that, He told me. Chris
doesn't seem like the type of guy to judge people or
hold a grudge against them either." Danny then
remembered about my test results.

"Hey, when do your test results get back?" he asked. I
started getting tense all over again as I remembered
that they were ready. But then I realized that it had
been 12:30p.m. when I had found out from the nurse
that they were ready. I was starting to get worried.

"Actually I found out from the nurse that they were
ready, but that was at 12:30p.m. and it's now 1:30. I
wonder what's taking so long?" I wondered. Just then
Dr. Russell came into the room. I started to really
get tense now.

"Well Dr. What took so long? I've been waiting for my
results since the nurse told me they were ready at
12:30. I asked. Dr Russell smiled, apologetically and
turned to Danny.

Would you give us a moment alone, please? he said to
Danny. "Sure, Danny said. He started to walk out of
the room. "Danny, wait! I called after him. He turned
around and looked at me. I then turnd to Dr. Russell.

"Dr., could you please let him stay? I'd like him to
be with me when you give me my results. Besides, he
knows my situation and he's been there for me when
nobody else was. I think he deserves to know." I
begged him. Dr. Russell nodded.

"Alright, if that's what you want, He said and he then
turned back to Danny, who was still standing by the
door, looking at us. Come on back over, Danny, You can
stay." He said to Danny. Danny walked back over and
sat back down beside me.

"OK, I said to Dr. Russell, I'll ask you again. What
took so long?

"I wanted to give you the results personally, but I
got called to check on some other patients before I
could come and give you the results." Dr. Russell
explaining. I understood how busy Doctors could get.

"I understand. I said. Now can you give me the
results?"

"Sure, Dr. Russell said. He opened a folder and
starting reading it. Danny grabbed my hand and
squeezed it, letting me know he was there. I smiled at
him. After what seemed like an eternity, Dr. Russell
finished reading and looked up at me. He then smiled.

"Your results came back negative, there's no sign of
any antibodies or HIV. he said. Danny and I both let
out our breath, which we hadn't been aware that we had
been holding and let out a sigh of relief. "Thank God,
I breathed. So, what's next? I asked.

Dr. Russell closed the folder and then looked at us
again. "Well I'd advise you to take it cautiously and
not have unprotected sex until your next set of tests
come back clear. I want you to be re-tested in
3months, to be sure no antibodies have formed. Then
after that, if you test negative again, you should be
able to be sexually active again after that.

I smiled. "Thank you so much, doctor. You have made me
feel so much better. Will I be able to go home now? I
asked.

"Yes, just let me go and sign your release papers and
you can sign them when you leave. I have to see
another patient so good luck,Sean and be careful the
next time you go out at night. He warned. I nodded. He
then left to check on another patient.

As soon as he left, Danny swooped me up in a tight hug
and I returned it just as strongly. We stayed that way
for a few minutes. When we both pulled away, we both
had tears in our eyes. But they were tears of relief.
I then said to Danny.

"I'm glad you were here for me. Danny smiled.

"I'm glad I was too. He said, grinning. Now, I'm gonna
wait for you down in the lobby while you get dressed
and sign your papers, besides I'm hungry."

"When are you not hungry? I said to him,
sarcastically. Danny looked at me in mock hurt.

"Well excuse me, I'm still a growing boy, you know."
He joked.

"Yeah, you're growing alright, horizontally, I teased
him. in response, Danny lifted his shirt, showing me
his perfectly toned chest and abs. "Do you see any fat
on this body?" He asked, while flashing me his killer
smile, showing off his dimples. I rolled my eyes.

"Ok, you've made your point, now get out of here and
let me get dressed. Unless you want to join me for a
quick shower? I teased him. Danny laughed and shook
his head.

"No thanks, man. He replied. I'll skip the two o'
clock show. No offense, but I'd rather shower with
Amanda then you any day of the week.

"Well thanks Dan, I said with a mock hurt expression
on my face, You sure know how to make a guy feel
special. Oh well, you don't know what you're missing.

"Just take your shower and shut up." Danny grinned.
I"ll wait for you downstairs. I said goodby to him,
and he left the room.

I then, hopped in the shower,washed my hair and body.
and then got out and dried off. I then dried my hair
and since I didn't feel like keeping my bangs in my
face like I normally do, I decided to comb it back and
put a little gel in it to keep it in place. I then
wrapped the towel around my waist and headed out into
the room to change into some clean clothes. I shut the
door to the room, but not before I saw a young male
orderly who couldn't have been more than 18, looked
into my room and saw me standing there in a towel. He
smiled and said hi as he passed by, making me blush. I
said hi back and then shut the door and closed the
curtains around my bed so I could change in private. I
grabbed some clean underwear and put them on. I then
decided on a pair of white khaki shorts and a bright
blue t-shirt. I finished changing and went out to the
front desk. I signed my release papers and went down
to the lobby, where Danny was waiting. I found him,
sitting alone in the cafeteria, eating a chocolate
bar. No others were in the cafeteria. Danny looked up
and whistled when he saw my new look, making me blush.


"Looking good, man, he said, You should style your
hair like that more often. It makes your look really
suave.

"Thanks. I said, smiling at him. You ready to go? I
can't wait to get home.

Danny finished his chocolate bar and threw away the
wrapper. "OK, let's go. He said. We walked out of the
cafeteria. On the way out, I saw the male orderly, who
had seen me half naked earlier in the hotel, coming in
to the cafeteria. He must have been on a break. He
smiled at me again. He was very good looking. He had
brown hair and brown eyes and a nice swimmer's build,
not too thin and not too muscular either. I smiled at
him and decided to ask him his name.

"Hi, may I ask your name? I asked him. He blushed a
little bit, before answering.

"Casey. He said, while holding out his hand. I took it
and we shook hands. "I'm Sean, I said to Casey, It's
nice to meet you. This is my friend, Danny. I said,
while pointing at Danny. Danny and Casey then shook
hands.

"Nice to meet you, Casey, Danny said.

"You too, Danny, you're a very lucky guy to have a
boyfriend like him." Casey said. I laughed as Danny
turned red from embarrassment, and Casey looked at him
confused as to why he was blushing.

"Casey, Danny and I are not together. I told him, He's
straight. We're just friends. I've known him since
high school. Casey then gasped and started
apologizing.

"I'm sorry, Danny, I didn't mean to embarass you.
Casey said. I didn't know you were straight. I saw the
two of you coming out together and I assumed that you
were a couple. Can you forgive me?

Danny, after he stopped blushing, smiled.

"It's alright, Casey, Danny said, You didn't know. As
Sean said, we're just friends.

Casey nodded. "Well I can tell you both are really
close, hold on to that. You two are good friends. I
hope you never lose your friendship.

I smiled. "We will, Casey, I don't think anything
could ruin our friendship. Well maybe me If I ever
tried to throw myself at him. He's kick my ass that's
for sure.

"Damn right I would, Danny laughed, causing Casey to
laugh too. "Well Casey, it's been a pleasure meeting
you, but Sean has to get home and we have to eat, so
we'll see you later.

"Alright. Casey said. And Sean if you ever want to
hang out or talk to me, come down to the hospital
around 6:30pm on Weekdays. I work from 11am-7pm. I
have weekends off. I smiled and told him I would if I
needed to. I then said goodbye to him and left the
cafeteria with Danny right behind me. As soon as we
were out of hearing range, Danny started laughing. I
turned and asked him what was so funny.

"Casey. That guy was practically drooling over you."
He said. I looked at him in shock. "He was not! I
said, while slapping him across the arm, playfully.
Danny then proceeded to tease me  more.

"He was undressing you with his eyes." Danny threw in.
I then remembered when he saw me in the towel. "Well
he did see me half naked after you left." I said. Now
it was Danny's turn to be shocked. "What? What did he
do?" he wanted to know.

"Nothing. He just smiled and said hi, I blushed of
course, but that's all. I said to him, as we walked
down towards the elevator.

Alright, enough about Casey. Danny said, What do you
want to eat? I'm starving.

I thought about what I wanted. I wanted to go home and
didn't feel like going out to eat, so I decided That
I'd order something in.

"Why don't we order in? I asked Danny, I don't feel
like going out, so I'm gonna order pizza. Does that
sound good?

Danny's face lit up when I mentioned Pizza. If there's
one thing that Danny loves, It's Pizza. I like seafood
more than Pizza, but pizza is second of my favorite
foods. He agreed and got out his cell phone and
ordered two Pizza with both our favorites: Pepperoni
and Sausage. He gave them my address,to have it
delivered to, and hung up.

"The pizzas will be at your place in 30 minutes. he
said. I nodded.

We got out of the elevator and headed out to the
parking lot where my car was waiting alongside his Red
Corvette. I got in my car and drove up the block
towards my house, with him following right behind me.
I pulled in the driveway and hit the automatic garage
door button. the garage door opened and I pulled in.
Danny pulled his car right behind me in front of the
garage door. I got out of my car and walked out of the
garage and lowered the door. Danny then followed me to
my front door where I unlocked it, and went into the
house. Danny grabbed a seat on the couch and turned on
the TV. I went to check my messages to see if anyone
called while I was out for those two days. I saw about
4 messages, so I hit the play button to see who's they
were.

"Hi, Sean, it's Drew, I heard Drew's voice say, I
called to tell you how sorry I am about what happened
tonight and I let my brother have it for being so cold
to you. Anyway I just wanted to let you know that I
still think you're a cool guy and I want to be your
friend still, despite what Nick thinks. Well I'll call
you tommorrow. Bye.

I smiled, realizing that Drew had called me that
night. I must have been on my way to the hospital when
he called. It was nice to know that he cared.

(Beep.)

"Hi Sean, it's Drew again, where are you? I need to
talk to you. Call me back when you get in. Bye.

(Beep.)

Sean, It's your boss, Tony, Where are you? You haven't
come to work for two days now. It's not like you to
skip work like this. I"m worried. Call me back when
you get this message. Bye.

"Shit! I thought, I remembered that I had not called
into work to let my boss know about what happened the
night before, so he would have known what happened. I
decided to call him and let him know as soon as I
finished listening to the last message. The last
message was from Drew again.

"Hey Sean, It's Drew again, Why haven't you called me
back? I"m worried about you. I even came by your house
with Jeff and Justin this morning and you weren't
home. I hope you don't hate me too. I really meant it
when I said I wanted to be your friend. I told the
other guys what happened that night and they are
totally fine with you being gay and are furious with
Nick for treating you the way he did. Please call and
let us know that you are alright. We leave tommorrow
to go to Pittsburgh, PA for our next concert, so
please call us and meet with me before we leave. I
really need to talk to you. In case you don't know
which room We're in, I'll tell you. I"m in room 416,
Nick's in 417, and Jeff and Justin decided to share
room 418. Call us. Bye.

I frowned as I wondered what was so important that
Drew wanted to talk to me about. Curious, I picked up
the phone and dialed the hotel. The receptionist who
was a male, picked up. I asked for room 416.

"I'm sorry sir, but we have strict orders not to
disturb that room." he said. May I ask who's calling?

"Yes, I"m Sean Perry, I'm a friend of Drew who's in
that room. Why don't you ask him if he'll take my call
and then get back to me. I'm sure he won't mind. I
assured him. He said He'd check to see if Drew would
take my call.

After about two seconds, there was a click and then
Drew came on the line.

Sean! Where the hell have you been? He practically
shouted at me, I was so worried.

"Whoa, Drew, calm down. listen It's a long story, but
I can't get into it over the phone so will you come
and see me? I said to him.

"Of course I will, Drew said. I"ll be there in 15
minutes.

"Oh and Drew, come alone. I don't want to see, Nick.
Not yet, anyway.

"OK, I'll come alone. thanks for calling me. I"ll see
you soon. Bye. he then hung up.

I then hung up the phone and then picked it back up to
call my boss. I dialed his extension. "Hello, Tony
speaking." I heard him say.

"Tony, it's Sean.

"Sean! Where the hell are you! Tony shouted. You
haven't been to work in two days now. I"m worried.
It's not like you to skip work. What's going on?

"I was raped, Tony, I've been in the hospital those
last few days.

Oh my god! He said in horror. Are you alright?
Who raped you?

"I don't know, man, I was walking through the streets
and this muscular monster just grabbed me out of
no-where. I tried to fight him off, but he was too
strong. he just threw me down on the ground, and
forced himself on me. I"m telling you, Tony, I'd never
been more scared in my life." I said to him, sobbing.

I can imagine. Tony said. Well thanks for telling me,
Take as much time as you need to get better, I'll
still pay you for the last two days.

"Thanks Tony, but I don't need to take anymore time
off work, I'm fine. I"ll be back to work Monday, since
these are my off days.

Alright, Tony replied, I"ll still pay you for the days
you missed, but if you're feeling alright to come to
work, I won't stop you.

Thanks, Tony, you're concern means alot to me. I said
to him.

No problem, he said. I'll see you Monday then ok?

"Alright. I said. Goodbye boss. I hung up and went out
to the living room. Danny had been watching TV and
looked up when I came in. Once he caught sight of my
face, he stood up. "Are you ok? he asked. I"m fine,
but thanks for asking. I said as I wiped my eyes,
realizing that I hadn't wiped my tears before I'd
walked into the room. Danny looked at me, curiously.
"Then why the tears? He asked. "I had been talking to
my boss and let him know what happened. I had
forgotten to call him when I was in the hospital to
let him know why I wasn't at work." And I also talked
to Drew.

Danny frowned. "What did he say?

I didn't tell him, I told him to come over. He said
he'd be here in 15 minutes.

Danny smiled, but then his smile faltered. Is Nick
coming with him? he asked.

"No, I specifically told Drew that I didn't want to
see Nick and he agreed to come alone so I could tell
him the whole story. I said.

"I wish you had invited the rest of the guys, minus
Nick though. He said. Just then there was a knock on
the door. "That must be the pizza, I'll get it." I
said. I walked to the door and opened it, seeing the
pizza man standing outside with our pizzas. I paid him
and thanked him for bringing them, and he left. Danny
took the pizzas and sat them on the living room table.
I grabbed some napkins from the kitchen to use since
me and Danny just eat out of the box and don't waste
clean plates. Not soon after we started eating, There
was another knock on the door. I went to answer it. I
opened the door and was shocked to see Drew, Justin
and Jeff standing there. Nick was nowhere in sight.
"Hi guys, I said in suprise. Come on in. I said. They
entered and I closed the door and turned to Drew. "I
thought you said you were coming alone? I asked him.
Drew got  a worried look on his face then. "I was but
then I stopped by to tell Jeff and Justin where I was
headed and they insisted that they come along because
they wanted to see you and see how you were doing. Are
you mad at me?" I looked at him,and laughed at the
expression on his face. It was so cute!

"What's so funny?" he asked? I stopped laughing and
answered him. "Not at all. I"m glad you brought them,
I missed them just as much as I missed you. Besides
Danny was hoping that you'd bring the rest of the
guys. I told him.

"Where is Danny anyway?" Jeff asked.

"In the living room. We just ordered pizza. would you
guys like some?" I asked them politely.

Sure, I'm starved. Justin said. "OK, I said. Come on
into the living room. Danny's in there.

I led the guys into the living room and Danny's face
lit up when he saw the guys coming. He got up and gave
all the guys a hug and started talking with them as he
led them to the sofa where they sat down and started
eating again. Drew turned to me. "Are you ready to
talk about it now? he asked. I smiled at him and shook
my head. "Not yet, I told him, How about after we've
all eaten?"

OK, that'll work. Drew said. I put my arm around his
shoulders and we walked into the living room where
Danny, Jeff and Justin were eating and talking about
football and girls. I took a seat on the couch beside
Danny and Drew took a seat beside me. I grabbed a
slice of pizza and started eating.

After we had finished eating, I cleared my throat to
get everyone's attention. They stopped talking and
looked at me, waiting for me to speak.

"Ok guys, I'm sure you're all wondering why I invited
Drew over here and I'm sure you're all wondering what
happened to me over the last few days. The guys
nodded. I continued.

I'm sure you guys heard about what happened in the
restaurant at the hotel that night? I asked more than
replied.

Yeah, Justin added, I've never know Nick to be so
cold. when Drew told us what happened, we were
shocked.

Jeff then came in. "Me neither. I'm really sorry for
that, Sean. I'll let you know that we all let him have
it after I heard it from Drew. I'm sure he's feeling
bad about it now.

"Well he should, I said coldy, Especially with what
happened to me next.

"What are you talking about? Drew asked, confused.

Well after Drew and Nick left, I totally broke down.
The nice waiter who waited on us, came and comforted
me and after I calmed down asked me if I wanted to
talk about it. I said I didn't but he said he'd be
there for me, if I ever did want to talk. I thanked
him and left. I was crying again, I got in my car and
went home. When I got there, I didn't feel like going
into the house just yet, so I decided to take a walk
to clear my head."

I had started to cry, Drew put his arm on my shoulder
and squeezed it. I felt Danny's hand doing the same on
my other shoulder too. I sniffed and patted both of
their hands, letting them know that I appreciated
their comfort and continued.

and what none of you guys know, except for Danny here,
is as I was walking along, this muscular monster came
out of nowhere, pulled me into this dark alleyway and
raped me. I looked up at the guys as I finished.

I saw all of the guys gasp in horror with horrified,
shocked looks on all of their faces, and immediately I
felt Drew's arms go around me as he pulled me into a
hug. I lost it right then and I sobbed into his
shoulder as he held me, while rubbing my back to
comfort me. When I calmed down I looked towards Danny,
Jeff, and Justin, who also had tears streaming down
their faces. Jeff came in front of me and grabbed me
in a tight hug.

"I'm so sorry, Sean, he said as he cried, We had no
idea what you were going through. I wish we could have
been there for you.

I released Jeff and Justin came and hugged me too.

"I'm sorry too, buddy, He said. I could kill Nick for
this. directly or indirectly, he's the cause of this.

I felt better and Justin let go of me. Danny was also
rubbing my shoulder, trying to comfort me. I smiled at
his gesture.

The doorbell rang again. "Man, I must be popular
today, I joked. this is the third visitor in one day
and I don't have that many friends. I wonder who that
could be?

 I wiped my face and went to answer it. I opened the
door and stood frozen in shock.

Hello, Sean. Nick said, standing in the doorway.

"What the hell are you doing here? I asked him coldly.

"We need to talk, Nick said. May I come in?"


TBC........?

Well that's it for chapter 3. Chapter 4 will be coming
soon. Let me know what you think of the story so far.
