Zack and Troy
Chapter 15

Thank you again for reading my story.  Thank you for being patient as it
has taken me longer than I would like to get this chapter out.  I love
writing it and enjoy getting your feedback!

This is a fictional story that contains sexual content between men. If this

Twitter now!  @cory4travis.  I think it could be an easy way for me to keep
people updated and for people to share pictures of what they think the guys
look like.



I was shoved into the back of the van and every once in a while the guys
would say shit to me and then kick me or smack my head with their hands.  I
was freaking out and laying in the fetal position.  I am sure the drive was
not that long, but felt like it took forever.  I just wanted to get out.
The van stopped for a minute and it seemed like we were waiting for
something.  After about 30 seconds or so we started moving again, but I
realized that we must have pulled into a garage or something.  I was
roughly pulled out of the van and drag carried somewhere and then my arms
and legs were tied down.  I hear one of the guys say "Call the pledges and
let's get to the final initiation." Then a different guy said "You ready to
get that pussy of yours fucked you little faggot!"  I was freaking out and
could feel my breathing getting heavier.  I could tell that guys were
coming and going and it sounded like they were setting things up.  I tried
to get my mind about me and think of what I could do.  Should I try and
fight it.  I just wanted Troy, and Brad and Drew and the guys to show up
and kick their fucking asses.

A guy came up to me and said "I think we can get rid of some of these
cloths."  Then he started to cut my jeans off of me.  I started to struggle
and fight it, but got punched in the side and told to stay still of things
would get worse.  They cut my jeans off and left me in my underwear.  Then
they cut my shirt off.  I am not sure what happened to my back pack.  I was
tied to something with my arms and legs spread and just in my underwear
with my head covered and something tied in my mouth to gag me.

I was getting exhausted hanging there.  Was leaning on something, but it
was still hard.  My arms and legs were getting tired.

I could hear more guys coming in and talking, but I couldn't make out what
they were saying.  Then I heard one of the guys say "The Pledges are almost
here."  A different guy said "Keep them upstairs until they all get there
and then let me know.  I will come up and bring them down."  Then there was
a bunch of cheering.

All of a sudden I felt a crack on my ass!  "UUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHH!" came
out of my mouth without me thinking.  It felt like my ass was burning.  I
must have been hit with something, a paddle or a whip or a switch.  I could
feel the tears running down my face.  Then one of the guys said "You're
going to cooperate like a good little bitch or you are going to find that
we will make you cooperate you understand?"

"uummhuuu" was all I could get out.  I didn't want them to know I was
crying.  I tried to breathe through the pain.

My body was being supported by something that was hard.  I am not sure but
my guess is that it was a sawhorse or something.  It was hard and felt like
wood.  I felt something cover my whole body and then I heard one of the
guys say "Bring them in!"

It seemed like it took forever for the pledges to come in and then one of
the guys started with some Frat bullshit.

"Welcome to your final test.  You are very close to entering the
brotherhood of the Omega Alpha Phi and all of the privileges that go along
with it.  If you are unable to complete tonight's task or you decide that
you are not willing to then you will be cut loose and will be a failure and
you will be a fucking looser and not get to experiences the awesomeness
that is Omega Alpha Phi.  Tonight's task is called Pleasure Torture.  We
have obtained the faggot bitch that has caused this fraternity a large
amount of embarrassment.  Tonight you are going to make this bitch suffer!"

I felt the cover pulled off me and I was totally exposed.  Then they pulled
the hood off of my head.  The lights were pointed at my face and I had to
close my eyes it was so bright!

"HOLY SHIT DUDE!  What the fuck are you doing?"

"Quiet pledge!"

"You only speak when you are given permission to speak!"

"Ok this is fucking crazy!  Don't you think that this is going too far?"

"Pledge I warned you!"

CRACK

There was a crack that rang out and I hard Gabe scream.  I still couldn't
see as my eyes were still trying to adjust and they were still watering.

"Pledge if you don't follow the rules you are going to have to pay the
price!" One of the guys yelled.  I could kind of make out that Gabe was on
the ground.

"Like I said.  Tonight's challenge is called Pleasure Torture and you
PLEDGES are going to get to Pleasure yourself by torturing our little bitch
here.  You are going to use him like the little bitch he is.  You are all
going to fuck him good until he can't walk.  When you are ready to shoot
your load and you better last over 7 minutes, you are going to shoot your
load on his face.  You will take turns and if you think that you might cum
and the 7 minutes is not up, well you better tag out and let one of your
fellow pledges in there.  This needs to last for a total of 30 minutes.  If
you fail to last 7 minutes then you better fuck him some more and shoot a
second load or you will be punished.  If as a group you fail to last the
full 30 minutes, then you all will be punished."

"This is fucking insane, what if someone finds out about this?"

"PLEDGE I WARNED YOU!"  I heard a finger snap and then hear CRACK??CRACK?.

I could hear Gabe screaming after each hit.  "NO ONE IS GOING TO FIND OUT
ABOUT THIS BECAUSE NO ONE IS GOING TO SAY ANYTHING!  RIGHT BITCH?"

CRACK?.  I screamed again.  I felt the hit against my ass again.  This time
I could not hold back the tears.  I was crying, my body was limp and my
head hung.  I was staring at the floor.

"I can't hear you bitch!"

I couldn't make a sound other than to cry.

"I am sure that our little bitch here understands that if she tells anyone
anything she is going to get hurt.  You understand right bitch?"

All I could do was nod my head.  I was so broken and scared that I just
wanted to be back in my home hours away from here.  In my head I keep
thinking please let me go.  Please don't do this to me.

"EVERYONE PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR!  THIS IS THE POLICE DON"T MOVE!"


I looked up and could see police officers with guns pointed at the guys.
All of the guys in the Frat had their hands in the air.  The police started
to handcuff guys and told them that they were all under arrest.  An officer
came over and took the gag out of my mouth, then he started to free my
hands and ankles.  When I was finally free I was helped up and as soon as I
got to my feet I collapsed and blacked out.

I woke up in an ambulance with a blanket wrapped around me on the way to
the hospital.  I was confused, but I looked up and there was Troy looking
at me with the saddest look on his face and then when he saw my eyes open
he smiled at me and said softly "I love you!  Everything is going to be
ok!"  I was so glad to see him, but then I felt a wave of humiliation sweep
over me.  Tears filled my eyes and I looked away.  I felt Troy's hand on my
head and whispering "I am here baby, everything is going to be ok, I am not
going to let anyone hurt you.  I am so sorry I was not there for you."  I
couldn't look at him.  I felt so ashamed and humiliated.

We got to the ER and I was taken into a room and Troy was able to come with
me.  We got settled in the room and a nurse came in.  Hello my name is
Ellis and I going to be taking care of you for a while.  He explained that
he needed to get some information and asked Troy if he would be able to
wait outside for a few minutes.  I asked if Troy could stay.  Ellis said
that he was going to have to ask me a bunch of personal questions and said
that if I was ok with that then he could stay.  I told him that it was ok
and then Troy grabbed my hand!  I quickly looked at Ellis to see if he
noticed and he smiled as he looked at his paperwork.

He started out with a bunch of routine stuff like my name, age, birthday,
where I was from, address.  He then moved into questions about the attack.
"Do you remember what happened to you?"  "Yes." I said.  He pushed and
wanted me to go into detail.  I explained that I was walking home and then
a group of guys in all black with masks on jumped out and grabbed me and
put me into a van.  I told him how they took me somewhere and that they
would kick me or hit me every once in a while.  I got to the part where
they tied me up and then cut my clothes off and I had to stop as I started
to cry and get choked up.  Ellis seemed very caring and we comforting.  "I
know it is hard.  Can you take a few breaths and see if you can tell me.  I
was able to get the rest out, but I keep having this feeling of shame.  I
couldn't look at Troy or Ellis.

Ellis asked if they had done anything sexually to me.  I told him that they
had hit me in the ass with something and were planning on it, but the
police got there before anything happened.  Ellis finished up with some
more questions to see if I had any memory loss, like who was the President?
What year was it?  What city were we in?  Things like that.  Then he did a
physical examination.  He looked at my ass and said that there were
deffinatly red marks, but that it didn't break the skin and it should heal
pretty quickly.  He said it might be sore for a little bit.  He took my
vitals and then said he would be back in a little bit.  He asked if there
was anything he could get for me.  "Could I get some ice water please?"
"Sure thing!  Be right back!"  And he left the room.

I couldn't look at Troy.  I felt like I was not worthy, I had this feeling
that I was somehow damaged and didn't want Troy to see me like this.  My
mind would imagine me tied down naked.  I couldn't stop imagining what the
look on Troy's face would be if he had seen me like that.

Troy just rubbed my head as I lay on the bed and he asked "Is there
anything I can do for you baby?"  His voice sounded so sweet and concerned
for me.  I shook my head no and looked at him.  I could see the love in his
eyes and as soon as I looked at him I felt the tears again.  Troy leaned in
and took a hold of me and said "I am here for you!  I love you so much."
He held me and it felt so good.  Even when Ellis came back into the room
Troy did not let go.  He held me and then finally let go.

Ellis brought me some ice water and explained that the police would be
coming by to get a statement from me.  He also told me that a Doctor would
be coming in and checking me out, but that other than the marks on my
wrists and ankles and some tender spots where I had been hit there didn't
seem to be any other injuries.  He was very sweet!  He made sure that I was
comfortable and asked if there was anything else I needed.  I shook my head
no and he left.

Troy asked again if there was anything that he could do and I shook my head
no.  Then I said "I think I am just going to close my eyes for a little
bit."  "Ok baby.  Do you want me to rub your head for you or do you want me
to just let you be?"  He asked so sweetly.  I asked if he would rub my head
and he seemed very happy that I wanted that.

I closed my eyes and tried to get the whole thing out of my mind while Troy
rubbed my head.  It felt so nice and I finally fell asleep for a little bit
until the Doctor came in to check on me.  Part way through the exam the
police officers came.  They said they would wait until the Doctor was
finished.  Ellis came in and said "well looks like you are pretty popular
trying to keep the mood light".  The doctor told him that after I had been
interviewed by the police that I could be released and that I should take
it easy for a few days.  He was very nice and said that if I started to
feel any pain or anything that I should contact my doctor and go in and
have it checked out, but that he didn't think that I had any internal
injuries.

After the doctor left Troy helped me get dressed.  He said that Brad, Ricky
and Drew brought me some cloths.  They had Ellis bring them in while I was
sleeping.  It felt great to know that my friends were there for me.  After
I got dressed the 2 police officers came in and asked me a bunch of
questions.  They were also very nice.  It was emotionally exhausting to go
through the whole thing again.  I really just wanted to go home.  After
they had all the questions they wanted answered one of the officers said
"These guys are going down.  I know it doesn't make it better, but they
will never be able to do this kind of shit again.  You are a brave kid.
Hang in there ok?"  He smiled and they left.  It made me feel a little
better, but the emotions are still so overwhelming.

Ellis came in and helped me get everything that I needed to be able to
leave and as we left he said. "It was really great to meet you.  I am sorry
that it had to be like this.  Maybe we will run into each other again
sometime in a social setting?" and then he winked and smiled and gave me a
hug!  He shook Troy's hand as we left.  Troy and I walked out and got into
my truck which the guys had dropped off as well.

Troy handed me the keys and smiled.  I asked him if he would drive.  He
said "Of course!" and opened my door for me.  He is so sweet.  I got in the
truck and before Troy got around to his side I lost it.  I broke into tears
and my head dropped.  I can't stop think that somehow I am less attractive
because of this and that I somehow let Troy down.

"Baby, are you ok? Come here!"  Troy got in the truck and moved close to me
and held me. I didn't know what to say or how to explain the feelings I was
having.  We sat there for a little bit and then Troy asked me if I could
tell him what I was feeling.  I told him that I was just feeling
overwhelmed.  Then I said. "I just want to go home and crawl in bed."

"Ok we can do that!  I will get you home and try to make you feel better."
He let go of me and started the truck.  He drove home and pulled into the
garage.  He told me to stay right where I was and he got out and grabbed
the door for me.  He took my hand and led me into the house.  Brad and Drew
came into the kitchen to ask how I was.  They both about tackled me and
gave me the biggest hugs.  "Those guys are so fucking lucky the police got
there first, I would have totally fucked up our plan and bet the living
shit out of those guy and then would never have been able to fuck with
ANYONE again!"  Brad said as he gave me the biggest hug.  I felt so much
love from both of these two bad ass Marines.

We talked for a little bit and the guys really wanted to know everything
that happened, but I was able to let them know that I was exhausted and
that maybe we could talk about it in the morning.  They were both super
cool about it and wanted me to feel better and get some rest!  I thanked
them for bringing cloths and my truck and they said that they were happy
they could help. Troy took my hand and led me to the bedroom.  As soon as
we got in the room he pulled me into a hug and then took my face in his
hands and gave me an amazing kiss.  After he pulled his lips off of mine he
said. "I love you so much and I am so sorry I was not there to protect
you."  My head dropped and I said "I am sorry that this happened."

"Baby this is not your fault at all!!"  He said as he pulled my face up to
get me to look into his eyes.  I faked a smile and then he asked if I
wanted to get ready for bed.  I nodded my head and he smiled.  I went into
the bathroom and brushed my teeth, flossed and took a piss.  When I came
out of the bathroom, Troy had turned down the bed and then helped me out of
my cloths and got me in bed.  He crawled in next to me, but did not take
off his cloths.  He rubbed my head a little and asked if he could get me
anything.  I asked for a glass of water with ice.  He asked if I wanted him
to come to bed and hold me or if I wanted some time alone.  I told him that
if he wasn't ready for bed that was ok.  He smiled and said "I want to hold
you and be here with you and never leave you again, but I also want to
respect the fact that you might just want some time alone."

Tears ran down my face.  It had really been a long day.  I wanted Troy to
hold me, but didn't know how to ask.  He told me to think about it and he
was going to get me some water.  I rolled over and closed my eyes.  I
wanted to go to sleep and wake up and have this whole day disappear.  Troy
returned with my water and set it down on the night stand on my side of the
bed.  He went in to the bathroom and it sounded like he was getting ready
for bed.  I sat up and took a big drink of water and then put the glass
back.  I looked and smiled as I saw that Troy had brought in a coaster for
the glass and it had a note on it that said "I LOVE YOU" on it.

I got back under the covers and Troy came in and it felt so nice to have
him crawl into bed next to me and hold me.  I felt so safe as he held me
and rubbed my chest.  It didn't take long for me to fall asleep.  I was
emotionally and physically exhausted.

The next day I did not want to get out of bed.  Troy was holding me and I
felt safe.  I didn't want to face the world.  I knew that I had to get up
and I had to put it out of my head, but I couldn't.  I wanted to talk with
Ricky.  I felt like he could relate.  I lay in bed not able to sleep until
Troy woke up.  He smiled at me and gave me a kiss.  "Good morning,
beautiful boy!"  He said.  Then he started to rub my chest.  I felt the
emotions overwhelm me and tears started to run down my face.  Troy's face
quickly transformed to concern and he said "Please tell me what you are
thinking baby?"  I was trying to get myself to stop, but the power of my
mind was too strong.

"I can't believe that I let that happen.  I feel like somehow I have let
you down and I keep thinking about how they had me tied up and if you could
have seen me then you wouldn't??." I couldn't even get in out before I was
crying again.  Troy hoped up and straddled me.  He leaned in and kissed me
and then he said.  "Zack, you didn't do anything wrong!  I feel so
responsible for this.  I was the one that said that if we didn't fight back
and that if we used cameras and investigators we would be able to bet these
guys at their own game and we did, but at what cost?  I feel like I have
let you down.  I keep thinking and wishing it was me that this happened to.
I wish I could wash it all away, but you need to know that nothing will
change the way I feel about you.  I love you more everyday!"  Now he had
tears running down his checks.

I felt so lucky!  Troy made me feel so important.  "I will do whatever it
takes to help you through this.  You have to make sure that you talk to me
and let me help ok??  I nodded and smiled as he leaned in and gave me an
amazing morning kiss.  Then he said that we should shower and that might
help me feel better.  I agreed and he led me to the shower and he washed my
whole body and it felt amazing.  No sex or anything just getting washed.
When I went to return the favor Troy looked at me and said "It's ok you
save your energy for when you are ready and then we can have some real
fun."  I smiled and helped him a little as he quickly washed himself and
then we kissed a little.

We got dressed and headed to the kitchen.  We were the only ones up and
Troy asked what I wanted for breakfast.  He made me some scrambled eggs,
toast and apple juice.  As we started to eat Drew came in and asked how I
was doing.  He said that he was sorry for what happened and if I needed
anything to let him know.  It was so sweet!  I thanked him and then asked
what his plans for the day were.  He said that he was going to work out and
then start packing because he was going to be heading home.  It felt like a
punch in the stomach.  I said "Why do you have to go?"  He said "Well can
you keep a secret from Brad and Ricky?"  I told him of course I could.
Then he said "I have to go home and wrap up a few things and pack so I can
move in!"

"WHAT?"  I said almost screaming and he quickly shushed me.  Then he said.
"I talked with my parents and they think it might be a good idea for me to
take some time to be with my friends and maybe even go to school.  They
said that they want me to take over the family store someday, but all that
I have been through they think I need some time to get life back together.
It really was Troy's idea.  He said that the store will always be there and
that I should take advantage of the opportunity to live here and be around
friends.  So I am going to take him up on it, but I am not telling Brad or
Rick until I show up with my stuff to move in."

This totally cheered me up a little.  I hopped up and gave him a big hug.
I didn't want to let go.  It made me so happy that Drew was going to be
here and keep this family together.  I was really sad thinking about having
him go home.  Damn now I am going to have to keep it a secret!

Troy got a call from the guys that he was working with and they wanted to
know if I was ok.  Troy told them that I was a shaken up, but that I was
tough and that he was going to be here to help me come back even stronger!
Troy talked to the guy for a while and it seemed like he had some good
news.  During the conversation Brad and Rick came in and were very sweet
wondering how I was doing and giving me tons of love.

Troy hung up the phone and said "Say goodbye to Omega Alpha Phi!  It is not
official, but it sounds like the frat has been removed from the school and
will never be able to have a chapter here again and all of the guys
involved have been expelled from the school and they are facing charges.
All the footage and information that they have gathered on them is going to
take them down."

It was good news and I felt happy about it, but I wanted to feel even
better about it.  I think that it is going to take some time to mentally
get my head back to normal.  Troy shared all the information that he had
and the guys all were happy that they were going to be gone.  I asked about
Gabe.  Troy said that he was also very helpful and that he tipped off the
agents that something was going down and that they should be close.  He
also unlocked the side door so that they could get in quickly without
having to break the door down and make a ton of noise.  Troy said that he
was going to be ok and the video footage helped clear him of any kind of
connection to this.

I was glad to hear that because he seems like a nice guy.  I really wanted
to change the subject so I asked Ricky to tell us about his job and how it
was going.

Ricky said that it was going to be amazing.  His first trip was going to be
to Hawaii and that he would be a part of a team that would lead a number of
dives on the 10 day trip.  He said that all the people he works with are
awesome and there is this one stud named Gunner who is a character.  He
said they have been put on a couple of projects and that we would all love
him.  Rick said that he is kind of a prankster.  He is from Germany and has
a great body and a super sweet guy.  Ricky has not told him that he is gay
yet because all Gunner talks about is chicks and the girls that he is
banging.

It is great to see Rick so animated as he talked about the new job and the
people that he worked with and about the different trips they take.  I
didn't follow everything, but that might be because my mind was not totally
there.  I love to see Ricky so happy.  I also found myself checking out
Brad as he was watching Ricky talk and it was so cute to see the smile on
Brad's face as he was so proud of Rick and glad that he was here with us.

My mind started to wander and it hit me that Ricky had been raped and to
see him talking and be happy again gave me hope that I could get there.  I
was not raped, but my mind was still spinning.  I really wanted to talk
with Ricky and find out how he got himself out of the dark places.  Ricky
finally said that he had to get going to work and Troy said that we need to
get ready for class and it hit me that I wasn't sure that I wanted to go.
I didn't want to say anything, but I felt like everyone would know what had
happened.  I was kind of dragging my feet and Troy seemed to notice and
said.  "Are you ok?"  I nodded and then he said "It is going to be ok.  I
am here."

"What if everyone knows what happened and is looking at me and knows that I
am the reason the frat is gone?"

"No one is going to know and if anyone says anything I will be there for
you and I can't imagine anyone who would want that shitty Frat on campus
anymore."

It felt good to know that Troy had my back.  I finished getting ready and
we headed to class.  The day went well and no one said anything to me.  I
couldn't tell if people knew, but I couldn't help be feel like they did.
Troy was amazing at helping to distract me.  We did get a chance to talk
with Mr. Frank and to see how he was doing.  We stayed after class and he
said that he was going to be looking for a place to live and that he was
taking it one day at a time.  He didn't say anything about the attack, but
I felt like he was looking at me funny.  After we left I asked Troy if he
thought Mr. Frank knew, because he was looking at me funny and he said that
he thought it was just because I was much quieter than normal.


That night I decided to sit out in the hot tube for a little bit, Troy had
to take a call for a while and I just needed to try and clear my head.  I
grabbed a robe and a towel and headed out to the hot tub.  It looked so
inviting as I took the cover off and turned on the lights, the steam was
rising off the water.  I took off the robe and slipped in.  We all talked
about how going naked in the hot tub was better because the detergent from
washing your swim suit would change the ph levels or whatever.  So we
decided we would go naked, until it seemed like a better idea to wear a
suit.  I was out there for 5 minutes when Ricky came out in a robe.  I had
wanted to talk with him and see if he had any advice, but was a little
nervous because I had never sat around naked talking to anyone before and
was afraid I might bone up.  I mean Rick is a sexy stud.  He didn't seem to
be phased by it, he just dropped his robe and got into the Hot tub.  Fuck
he is sexy!!  I couldn't help but check out his cock and even soft it was
sexy.  I was so happy he came out, because I really wanted to talk to him,
but when he asked "Can I join you?"  I started to tear up.  Fuck what is my
problem!!

"I can go if you want to be alone?" Ricky said.

I shook my head and wiped my tears.  "I have wanted to talk to you since I
got home and you coming out here is perfect."  He got up and came over and
gave me a hug!  I was trying not to notice that we were both naked and that
I could feel our cocks touching.  I realized what an amazing friend he is
and said. "I can't stop thinking if Troy had walked in and seen me tied
down spread eagle naked he wouldn't want to be with me anymore."

"That is crazy!  Troy is totally in love with you.  You can see it when he
is looking at you.  His eyes light up and he is captivated by everything
that you say.  It is the sweetest thing.  I understand the feelings that
you are having.  I didn't want Brad to know what had happened.  I was also
afraid that if he knew that I was raped then he wouldn't want me either,
but I realized that he was there for me and when he showed up at my door I
knew that he still loved me.  And since we have been back he has proven his
love to me over and over.  I know that Troy will do the same."

I looked down and smiled and thanked Ricky for saying that.  Then he said
"I have not told anyone this yet, but I got a call from Mr. Johnson with a
settlement offer.  They are offering 1.7 million and the guys will have to
do 100 hours of community service, but this will not go on their record and
they will not have to do any jail time.  I am not totally sure what to do.
There is a part of me that wants them to be punished more, but I also feel
like they have learned their lesson.  I am sure that they are shitting
their pants knowing that there is no way they can get out of it if I don't
take the plea.  There is too much evidence agent them."

"So what happens if you don't accept the plea?"

"I guess we would go to court and then the judge would decide the case and
what is to happen.  I feel like one of the guys was in the wrong place at
the wrong time.  He didn't seem to want to do it, but the other guys kind
of pushed him along and were giving him a hard time.  I kind of think he
might even be gay and have a crush on me."

"So do you think you will take the plea?"

"I want to talk to Brad.  I think he will help me think everything through
and make the right choice."

"That is a shit ton of money!"  I said not thinking how it might sound.  I
think Ricky could see that I wish I could have taken the words back after I
said them.

"I know.  It would change things for sure.  I don't want to just accept for
the money though.  I feel like people make mistakes and these guys did and
it sucks that I had to get hurt, but if I take the plea, they will still
have consequences to deal with and it won't ruin their lives forever.  If I
didn't take the plea and they ended up doing time in jail that might ruin
their lives forever.  I feel like that might be too harsh.  If I take the
plea, I am sure there will be people that think I just did it for the
money!"

"I hope you don't think that I meant anything by?."

"Oh God no!  I know you would never think that!"

"I think that you are amazing.  The fact that you are able to forgive these
guys and that you would think about what would happen to them if you didn't
take the plea shows me that you are truly amazing and not just looking at
the money or at getting revenge!"

Ricky smiled and this time I got up and gave him a hug.  "You know you have
made me feel a lot better.  I am so glad you came out here and we got this
chance to talk!"

"I am too.  I think you are amazing Zack and I know that you are going to
hurt for a while, but you are going to find yourself again and things are
going to get back to normal!"

I thanked him and we sat and enjoyed each other's company for a while until
we both were getting too warm.  We got out of the hot tub and I noticed
Ricky was checking me out as much as I was checking him out.  We both were
semi hard.  We dried off and wrapped ourselves in our robes and headed
inside.  That night I slept like a baby all cuddled up to Troy!

Over the next few days I felt like Ricky was making a huge effort to check
in with me and make sure I was ok.  Brad and Drew were also making a huge
effort and it felt comforting to know that we all were getting closer
living together.  I was feeling better and realized that I really wanted to
talk with Troy about me feelings of insecurity.


On our way to our comp class on Friday morning, Troy asked me if I thought
we should stay after and try to check in on Mr. Frank.  I thought that it
was a good idea and as I thought back on it, I realized that I have not
been able to think about him or focus on how he is doing much over the last
couple classes because my head was someplace else.  I was trying to think
back and remember if there was much change in his demeanor.  My mind was
blank.  I spent the class watching him and looking for clues to see how he
was doing.  He seemed a little robotic, but still showed the passion for
his teaching.

After class Troy and I hung around until the room was empty and went up to
talk to Mr. Frank.  He told us that it was still very complicated and that
He was feeling very guilty.  He tried to explain that he never meant to
hurt anyone and that is when the tears started again.  Troy asked if he
wanted to talk in his office so that it would be more private.  Mr. Frank
nodded his head and he wiped his tears and we all headed up to his office.
We made small talk on the way and he asked how school was going for us.
Troy did most of the talking and told Mr. Frank that we bought a house and
have moved in with some of our friends.  He said that he didn't think that
freshman could live off campus, but Troy explained that we still have our
dorm rooms; we just don't use them much!  He was really impressed and said
before he thought about it "I would really love to see it sometime, ah,
unless that is weird?"  He said catching himself.  Troy jumped in right
away. "Why would that be weird?  We would love to have you over."
Mr. Frank smiled and it was nice to see him smile.  "Let us know when would
be a good time and you can come over and see the place."  "That would be
great!"  Mr. Frank said.

When we got into Mr. Frank's office he shut the door and told us to have a
seat.  We asked him how things were going and he said that he and his wife
have been doing a lot of talking and that she is trying to understand, but
goes through phases where she is angry.  We all agreed that we could
understand how that is going to happen, but the key will be to keep talking
and that Mr. Frank needs to show her that he is a great guy and is going to
be there for his kids and for her if she needs it and wants it.  Also that
it will be the best for both of them.  She sounds like an amazing woman and
from the pictures in his office she is a beautiful woman and will find
someone.  You can tell that Mr. Frank is doing the best that he can to hold
it together and that he really appreciates having someone to talk to.  As
we were getting ready to leave he said "I really want to thank you guys.  I
don't really have anyone to talk to about this and I can't thank you enough
for taking the time to see how I am doing."  It was so sweet and sincere it
broke my heart!  It must be so hard to feel alone like that.  I am glad we
stayed and talked to him.  We told him that we are always here if he needed
someone to talk to and we gave both of our numbers.

As we were walking to lunch Troy said "Would it be weird if we told
Mr. Frank that if he wanted to move in with us he could?"  I thought about
it and I didn't think that it was weird, but I am not sure if he would want
to.  Then I wondered if the university would care.  "I don't know.  It
might change the dynamic in the house."

"How do you mean?"  Tory asked

"Well, like last night Ricky and I were in the hot tub and we were both
naked.  I am not sure if we would still go naked if Mr. Frank lived there.
Or if our house warming party shenanigans?"

"Ah I see what you mean!  I just want to help him!"

Troy and I talked about what a tough position Mr. Frank was in and what a
great guy he seemed to be.  I agreed with Troy I wanted to find a way to
help him.

The rest of the day went pretty fast!  Troy asked if I wanted to go workout
and I told him I didn't feel like it.  He said that he would skip it and
just stay home with me.  I told him that he should go and I was just going
to take a nap.  He hesitated, but finally went to work out.

I went in and took a nap for about 45 minutes.  I woke up and went into the
living room to watch some T.V. or a movie or something.  Brad heard me and
came in.  "Hey Buddy, How are you doing?"

"Fine!"  I said, with not a whole lot of emotion.  "How is your day going?"

"I don't know.  I think I am feeling a little down knowing that Rick is
leaving for 10 days and Drew is heading home.  It is just so great to have
Rick back and to have Drew here and I don't want them to go.  I mean I want
Rick to go and have this amazing trip.  I am happy for him and I know he is
so excited to get this job and to go on this trip, but life is so much
better when he is around!  And with Drew being here it has been awesome!"

I smiled at this stud of a Marine who is really a big teddy bear!  It was
very sweet to see this side of Brad.  I think he is one of the most amazing
guys I know!  He is so fucking sexy!  His muscles, his eyes, and his smile
not to mention the amazing cock he has.  The flashbacks of his hot fuck
session with Ricky keep playing in my mind!  Best of all he is one of the
nicest guys.  He cares about his friends and would do anything to help or
protect them.  I know if he had found me that night he would have bust in
and started kicking everyone's ass.  I know there were a lot of guys there,
but I think seeing me tied down naked would have flipped some switch in his
head and he would have cleaned house.  Noted to self, don't piss him off.

"I totally understand.  It will be hard but you know that he will be back
and this is something that makes him so happy.  It has been so great to see
him so happy after what happened to him.  You also know that this has to be
hard for Drew on so many levels.  Seeing all of us happy and missing his
fianc?.  I am sure that it is not the same back home and helping run his
family business is probably great but I am sure that if he could stay here
he would."

"I know you are right!"

"Can I ask you a very personal question?"

"Yes I think you are pretty!"  Brad said with a straight face.  We both
laughed.

"You can ask me anything!"

"After you found out what happened to Ricky, was there ever a time where
you?  Well did it bug you that?.."  I couldn't get it out.

"What?"  Brad asked looking confused.

"That those guys had raped him.  Did it ever make you think about Ricky
different?"  Right away I regretted asking it.

"Not for a second!  I love Rick and I was so angry with what happened to
him.  He didn't ask for it or deserve it.  I know it was not his fault and
nothing like that could ever shake the love I have for him!"  He said with
so much passion.  I looked down and then said. "I just can't help thinking
that Troy will look at me different."

"Troy will never change how he feels for you.  Zack you are such a lucky
guy.  Troy is always talking about you, and when he looks at you.  He told
me how he had you videotaped and followed to make his parents happy that
his roommate would be ok and how he fell for you as he watched the videos.
It is the sweetest and sickest thing I have ever heard."  Brad said with a
laugh.

I smiled and Brad came over and gave me a hug. Then he said something that
really struck home.

"Zack you can't let this hold you back.  You didn't do anything wrong.  You
were attacked.  Those guys took it way too far.  They are a bunch of
assholes and they are going to get what is coming to them.  But you are an
amazing guy and I feel so privileged and honored to call you one of my best
friends,?.. no one of my brothers.  I have been through and seen a lot of
shit and I know that there are so many Marines that come home and can't
find a way to fit in anymore.  There are so many of my brothers who have
killed themselves once they have gotten home it's sickening.  I was never
that low, but when I was at one of my lowest points you came into my life.
You need to find yourself again and be that amazing young man that helped
me!"  Then he grabbed me and gave me the biggest hug and I started to cry
again.  FUCK what is it with me and the crying?  I know, don't say it; I
want to slap the shit out of myself too!

"Thank you!"  Was all I could say.

"Hey is everything ok?"  Troy said as he walked in.

"Yah Zack was just sad I wouldn't be his second boyfriend while Ricky was
gone!"  Brad laughed at his own joke as I said.

"You are such an ass!"

"There is someone who would like to talk to you if you are up for it?"
Troy said not pushing the fact that I am sure he could tell I had been
crying.

"Who?"  I asked.

"Gabe is here.  He has felt really shitty about what happened and would
really like to talk with you.  I think he feels really guilty."

"He wants to talk to me?"

"Yeah!  He is waiting in the kitchen."

"Ok.  Will you stay with us while we talk?"

"Of course!" Troy said then he went to get Gabe.  Brad gave me another hug
and then headed off to his room.  I was a little nervous and sat down on
the couch.  Troy and Gabe came in and Troy sat by me and Gabe sat on the
chair next to the couch.

"Hey!"  I said

"Hey Zack!  I needed to talk with you.  I am so sorry about what happened
to you.  I had no idea that was going to happen.  I have not been able to
eat or sleep much.  I need you to know how sorry I am and that I tried to
do what I could to stop it.  I swear to you if I had known what they were
going to do I would have done something to call it off.  I just need you to
know?."

I could see the hurt in his eyes.  He didn't look like himself.  I could
tell that this really messed with him.

"I know!  I could hear you trying to stop it and I could hear you being
punished for it.  To have you there trying to stop it felt like I had a
friend there."

"Zack I want to be your friend.  I really do.  I know that I was an asshole
about the rushing thing and the guys joining the Frat, and if you were
pissed at me for that I wouldn't blame you, but you have to know that I
would never have hurt you."

"I know!  At first I didn't know who you were and I saw you and Troy
talking in the lunch room and I was a little jealous, because I thought
that there was no way that I could compete with you if you were interested
in Troy.  I didn't know if you were even gay.  It seemed like Troy was not
telling me about you and I was making it into something more than it was.
I realized that if I am going to spend all the time that Troy and I are
together, being nervous that he is interested in someone else then I am
going to miss out on the time that we are together.  There is nothing I can
do to stop that from happening except to try and be the best boyfriend that
I can be.  I don't blame you and if anything I need to thank you!  You told
the police to come and you unlocked the door.  You also tried to stop
everything from happening and if you had not done that the police would
have not gotten there in time and who knows what would have happened."

"Thank you Zack!  You have no idea how much that means to me."

"How did you know to call the police in and unlock the door?"  I asked

"I heard one of the brothers saying they had one of the guys and it was
going to be a long night of fucking.  I didn't know who they had or what it
totally meant, but I had a feeling that it wasn't good.  I thought that it
might be Troy.  I asked to go to the bathroom quick and that's when I
unlocked the side door and called to tip them off."

"Thank you!"  I said very softly.


"Zack, I will tell you that I am gay, but I am not out.  I have messed
around with a couple of guys back in high school when we got drunk, but no
one knows.  I have never told anyone, except you two now.  I can't come out
because of my family and because I am not sure what it would do to my
football career.  I know that I don't have a great chance of going pro or
anything like that, but I can't risk it.  I know that I can trust you two."

Troy and I both assured Gabe that he could trust us and that we both
appreciated everything he did to help take down the frat!

"I have to go, but I hope that we can hang out and get to know each other
better and develop our friendship?"

Both Troy and I agreed that we would like that as well.  After we walked
Gabe to the door Troy looked at me and asked if I wanted to talk about any
of this anymore.  I told him that I wanted to take him to bed and fuck his
brains out!  He smile and ran to the bedroom stripping off his cloths.
