A Summer Interlude part 2

****

I find myself walking the very same streets that got me into trouble in the
first place, walking the damp dark alleys and the occasional dark room
allowing men of all types to get their fill of my young healthy body for
the right price.  You would think after the fiasco with Mark I would have a
avoided ending up back here but it helps to escape from the pain of it all,
sometimes in helps me forget the beautiful boy who was kept captive in that
place, sometimes I live out my fantasies of that same boy with these
strange men.

The sun sits high in the sky it must be close to noon as I make my way back
to my hotel of the minute, not really paying much attention to my
surroundings when I find my self flat on my ass after bumping into someone
"I am so sorry I wasn't really watching where I was going let me help you
up" I recognize that voice, the one the has haunted my nightmares and
pleasant dreams all at the same time "Wait I minute I know you" the voice
says with surprise in his voice as he helps me to my feet.

"What are you doing here, this is the last place I ever expected to run
into you especially after the way you just up and vanished" I am at a lose
for words finding myself lost in those deep brown eyes "You know I never
did get to properly thank you for everything back then, hell I never even
got your name"

I don't know what possessed me to do it, almost like I was just moving
along on autopilot "Your beautiful" was all I managed to speak before
taking his face into my hands and placing my lips on his.  He didn't kiss
back but he also didn't pull away, feeling bolding a slid my tongue against
his lips seeking entry and ever so slowly he allowed me in the kiss
becoming deeper still right there in the middle of the city, a place I
would never imagine we would meet.

"Babe you have to let it go there is nothing that we can do, if anything we
might end up making matters worse"

"But Jay I don't understand how all of this could have happened, as close
as we all are shouldn't we have been able to at least seen this coming
before it blew up in epic fashion" It was the same topic day in and day out
between us and as I lay there on Jason's chest looking up into his face I
couldn't stop feeling as though the whole blow up and subsequent break up
of Alex and Shawn was somehow something we could have prevented.

"You know as well as I do that doing this over and over again is only going
to end up leaving you more frustrated than when you began, I know you have
the best intentions babe but at this point we just have to let things work
themselves out between those two"

"Do you think Shawn and Niles are seeing each other?" Jason let out a sigh
and swiftly removed himself from my bed stopping at my door and turning
back to me

"At this point it is really none of our business who he is or is not seeing
at this point, we can't control him.  I just hope they have something
figured out as far as their living arrangements if and when Alex decides to
come back to the states for college"

As Jason makes his was out of my room I stretch out and sigh staring up at
the ceiling I can only wonder what those two are thinking about at the very
moment

"Are you going to go back?"

"Of course I am I don't think I was ever going to truly stay here on a
permanent basis, it is beautiful here back my friends and family are all
back overseas.  Are you going to come with me?" I look down into the
beautiful eyes that I can never get bored with, look at our entwined hands
and though I know that this is all a temporary situation I can't help but
smile down at him

"You know as well as I do how bad of an idea that would be, let us be
honest with ourselves these last few days have been a whirlwind but we know
this is just to try and fill that void that you still hold in your heart.
You can't fill the emptiness of something like that with something that
holds no true meaning" I watch the emotions run across his face, the
gravity of my words dancing from his heart to his head

"What if I want you to be someone special who can make me feel whole
again?'"

"You know how unrealistic that is, Alex you don't even know my name" Tears
began to form in the corners of his eyes as his body slightly trembled "You
don't need anyone to make you feel whole again, you are who you are
regardless of if said person is a part of your life our not" I have finally
lost count of the number of times I found my lips pressed against his but
for one last time before I again make my way out of this precious boy's
life I did for the rest of that day enjoy the delights of his body to
forever hold in my memories.

"Your really coning back?!?" we were all a bit shocked by the news, it
wasn't often that the gang was all together during the summer but Alex's
timing was spot on for this occasion "What made you change your mind?"

He looked on with a sigh from the other end of the screen "I don't think I
ever truly thought about not coming back I think I more or less wanted that
to be a real possibility and to give myself time and space to find myself
again"

"Have you talked to the dickhead about this?" Tiffany stilled seemed to
hold Shawn in the highest regard ever since the graduation party, it wasn't
often that he was around but if he was we made sure she was very very far
away.

"No I haven't contacted him at all and i don't think I am ready to"

"But what about your living arrangements I thought everything was already
situated for the coming year?"  "When was the last time he asked about me?"
I was dreading this particular question, it wasn't that Shawn hadn't been
asking about him it was more so the way he has been.  The last time I
visited Shawn he was in a sorry state, he looked like he could use a good
shave and he seemed to be eating the bare minimum.  His parents were non
the wiser as usual they were hardly around and though I was still very much
upset with the way he continued to handle things if not for me he would
probably have been in even worse shape.

"Everyday he ask about you, each day I feel like he has less and less hope
that you will come back, and I think his hope that you will take him back
is even lower" Alex averted his gaze from the screen, even though he
appeared to be in better spirits I gathered this was still a sensitive
topic to touch on and for good reason.

"I still have the keys and everything to get access to the place so
whatever my choice is I can do what needs to be done"

We all sat in an uncomfortable silence for awhile before Tiffany again
spoke up "I don't think it would be a good idea for you to stay with him, I
think it would be to easy for you to fall back into routine with him" I
wanted to keep my opinions to myself although I did partly agree with her
on them living together not being the brightest idea, but at the end of it
all this was Alex's decision to make not ours.

"Hey now why don't we all cute the little man a break, we should be
celebrating not harassing him he just told us the best news we have heard
in weeks" Justin said scooping up Tiffany from the floor and swinging her
around

Jason nodded at him before placing his arm around my waist "I agree and I
know it won't be for very long but we will have a chance to be together one
last time before we go our sort of separate waysÉif you are going to get
back here in time that is"

"I think I can manage a flight back with a little spare time for you all"
for the first time in weeks we got a genuine smile out of Alex and I must
say it's damn good to see.


Okay so these won't be very long in nature but will serve to set up story
arcs for book 2, I thought I would stick with the slightly different
direction and leave Alex and Shawn's perspectives for a bit but do not
worry our next go round we shall see how Shawn is holding up and what his
plans may be.  I appreciate everyone's feedback it really gives me things
to think about and help me grow as a writer and sometimes I truly need that
extra spark from you guys, so with that being said I love hearing from you
guys so please to be afraid to drop me a line, love it, hate it, or have
suggestions of your own.  Also some of you may know but there is a yahoo
group that has all of the chapters and will more than likely be updated
faster so feel free to go over and join that group as well at
