I wanna know what love is chp 14


Jules was a shut in for the whole weekend, he had the locks changed and the
alarm re-set because he knew friends had keys to his place, and he didn't
want to see anyone, but that didn't stop them from calling or stopping
by. Jules didn't answer the door, his phone or his email, except for Caden
who was bored and just wanted to say "hi", he wasn't aware of the
situation.

He sat around his house alone, naked and smoking the occasional joint while
replaying the whole situation over and over in his head. He realized he was
taking it really hard and he had no idea why, he and Aiden had only been
together for a week and he already had it in the back of his head that
Aiden might not be ready for an actual relationship with him. Then he
realized that what really hurt him was not that Aiden denied them being
together but the fact that Dante said such hurtful things to Jules and
Aiden just stood there and did nothing.

By Sunday evening, Jules had decided he would eventually have to forgive
Aiden but he wasn't ready to do so just yet, aside from the fact that Aiden
claimed to love him, but he tarnished their friendship by the lack of
consideration he had for him, and he was not going to re-start anything
romantic with Aiden until he came to grips with it if even at all.

Jules slept very restlessly that night, it resulted in the most intense
nightmare he had. He woke up screaming then fell off his bed; he hit his
head on the bedside table as he collapsed causing him to vomit all over the
floor. He got up on his feet and stumbled into his bathroom to splash water
on his face, his breathing was becoming labored and his chest started
getting tight. He splashed cold water on his face and head but it didn't
help, he couldn't breathe and became very dizzy, his eyes rolled in the
back of his head and he passed out.

When he woke up late Monday morning, he was back in his bed and tucked
in. He had a throbbing head ache that seemed to pound more as he moved to
sit up. He tried to think back as to what happened and remembered having a
nightmare and hitting his head and then vomiting, he looked down at the
floor where he was sure he had thrown up but it looked freshly cleaned. He
slowly got out of the bed and stood to his feet, the movement caused his
head to pound more and he hissed and grabbed his head.

"What are you doing? Get back into bed" Kodi said startling Jules, he
turned around and saw a half naked Kodi wearing only a pair of shorts lying
across the couch in Jules's bedroom.

"What are you doing in here?" Jules asked hoarsely.

"I heard you screaming your head off last night, so I came to check on you
but my key wouldn't work so I had to scale your balcony and I found you
passed out in the bathroom.  You scared the living hell out of me Jules, I
picked you up and was going to take you to the hospital but you kept
mumbling no doctors to I put you in bed and slept on your couch"

"I don't remember much except hitting my head and throwing up" Jules said
with his palms pressed to his temples "My head hurts really badly"

"I knew I should have taken you to the ER, you probably have a
concussion. I let you go to sleep, which was a bad idea, but we are going
now. I don't care what you say" Kodi said.

He found a pair of basketball shorts and a t-shirt and helped Jules get
dressed; he slowly walked him to his Jeep and helped Jules get in. He
quickly ran back to the guest house and returned to his Jeep wearing a
hoodie and a pair of sneakers. They got to the hospital fast since it was
only a few blocks down the street, Kodi walked Jules into the emergency
room and within minutes; Jules was in the back seeing a physicians
assistant.

After being in the emergency room for an hour, the doctor told Jules that
he did in fact suffer a concussion and after completing an IV drip with
pain meds in it, he was free to go. Kodi drove him home and helped him back
into his bed. Once in his room he helped get Jules undressed, neither of
them was embarrassed about Jules's nudity. Kodi tucked Jules in and told
him he was going to make him some soup and get his books from out of the
guest house so he can study, Jules protested but Kodi said he needed to eat
and he wasn't going to leave him to fend for himself. Jules saw no point in
arguing and with a sigh, laid his head back on his pillow.

About twenty minutes later; Kodi re-appeared with a bowl of Kodi's homemade
soup that he had fixed for him before, and his book bag. He propped up some
pillows for Jules to sit back against and gave him to bowl so he could feed
himself; he pulled a sage stick out of his book bag along with a long eagle
feather. He lit the sage stick and fanned the sweet smoke with the feather
into the air while humming to himself. Jules wanted to ask what exactly he
was doing, but thought it would be rude to interrupt.

By the time Kodi was done saging the room, Jules has finished his soup; he
scooted down further into his bed and leaned back. Kodi kicked off his
shoes and climbed on the other side of the bed and pulled out his books and
laptop so he could began his studying, Jules wondered why he didn't just
sit on the couch but thought it would be nice to have someone close to
him. As Kodi started his school work; Jules leaned into him and thanked him
for all he did for him.

"No problem, I'll always be here for you if you need"

Jules smiled at the comment and within seconds he was fast asleep. Kodi
studied for a little over an hour with Jules asleep leaning against him, he
started to get tired himself and dozed off his is text book on his lap. A
little while later, Jules woke up from a minor nightmare, Kodi grabbed
Jules' hand and put it on his chest and told him to remember how to focus
on his heartbeat, hoping to calm Jules down before he had another panic
attack. It worked; after a few minutes both Jules and Kodi were back
asleep.  Kodi woke up in the early evening and softly slid out of the bed
trying not to wake Jules, he crept downstairs and into the kitchen to make
Jules a light supper. He decided on grilling some chicken breasts and
making a salad, he seasoned the meat and threw it on the grill and then
started cutting up vegetables for the salad.

"What the hell am I doing?" he thought to himself "I can't fall for him,
his dad would kill me if I did, and Jules would kill me if he knew that I
actually worked for his dad. But I can't stop thinking about him, what if I
came clean about working for Stellan? Would he hate me?....No I can't
attempt to start anything with him, he really has a lot going on right now
and he doesn't need me causing more of a distraction"

He finished berating himself just in time to toss the salad and turn over
the chicken; he went upstairs to wake Jules up so he could have something
to eat. He helped him get dressed and walked him downstairs. Jules sat at
the island bar in the kitchen and Kodi served him his food, they sat and
talked and Kodi was glad that Jules seemed to be feeling better. After
dinner was finished; Jules helped clean the kitchen then sat down on the
couch in the family room and put on a movie and asked Kodi if he wanted to
join him.

Kodi told himself that he should really go back to the guest house and get
some homework done and try to distance himself from Jules. He stared into
the kids eyes while he quietly debated with himself as to what he should
do, his instincts won out over his brain and he decided to join Jules on
the couch. He decidedly sat on the opposite side of the couch thinking it
would be better if he sat further away from Jules.

That however did not happen. As they got into the movie; laughing and
joking, they scooted closer to each other and by the time the movie was
over they had fallen asleep, wrapped in each other's arms.

**************************************

The week had pretty much stayed the way the weekend had for Jules; he
stayed home from school and emailed his assignments to his teachers. He
decided to reach out to at least a few of his friends and texted both Caden
and Dustin to let them know that he was ok and though he really hadn't
wanted to go to school and be near Aiden, that he was still inviting them
over that Thursday for Thanksgiving dinner.

Caden replied telling Jules that his family normally had dinner early and
that he would be over shortly after and ready to spend the weekend, Jules
had totally forgot about inviting Caden to spend the weekend with him but
wasn't going to back out on him. Dustin replied right away telling Jules
that he would be there without a doubt.

Thanksgiving finally came and the Barrett residence was full of the smells
that came with cooking a holiday meal, of course Jules had prepared the
meal by himself and it was bittersweet because it was his first major
holiday without is mother, and his father wasn't there as well. Kodi and
Dustin both showed up at the same time to help Jules set up for the rest of
the guests and shortly after that Caden arrived.

There was a knock at the side door and Jules checked the security monitors
to make sure he knew who it was before answering, he wasn't surprised to
see that is was Amy and her mother as they have had thanksgiving together
as a family for years. When he opened the door, he greeted Ms. Talley with
a hug and a kiss and took the side dishes she was carrying from her; he
gave Amy a slight smile and a kiss on the cheek. After his guests entered
past him, he tried to close the door but a foot blocked his path, he looked
up to see Aiden staring at him with a pleading look on his face.

"Happy Thanksgiving Jules" he said.

"Go home, I don't want you here" Jules replied angrily.

"You don't mean that" Aiden said with a frown. "This is like my second
home"

"Not any more...you are not welcome, I changed the locks and I haven't
returned your calls, texts or emails. If you haven't figured it out yet,
you are a complete idiot"

"I'm sorry Jules, I love you...you have to believe me" he begged "Are you
going to end years of friendship over something so stupid"

"Me end the friendship?" Jules asked shocked and pissed off "You ended the
friendship when you told me you loved me and wanted to be with me, you
ended the friendship when you slept with me every night for a week, then
you sealed the end of the friendship when you lied and told that ass hole
that I was drunk and tried to kiss you and then you stood there and let him
say those things to me and didn't deny or defend me. You know nothing of
the word friendship, you are not longer welcome in my home and if you don't
leave now..." he ranted but was cut-off.

"What's going on?" Ms. Talley asked.

"Your son isn't welcome in my home, I told him to leave and if he refuses I
will remove him" he said in a formal tone with a bite behind it.

"Why, what did he do now?" she asked disappointedly, with her hands on her
hips. Aiden gave Jules a wide eyed, fearful look. Jules knew Aiden's mother
didn't know about him or anything that happened and opened his mouth to
tell her, but thought otherwise and said they she should ask him but to do
it outside because he wasn't to step foot inside is home. She took Jules's
tone to be very serious, she knew full well the training Stellan had given
Jules and didn't want to push him any further. She walked outside with her
son to question him about what was going on.

"Tell me what you did; Jules has never been upset with you ever"

"I...I kinda...um...shit mom, I don't know what to say"

"Don't use that language with me, spit it out. You know you can always talk
to me, so you need to tell me what is going on, Jules is pissed off and he
shouldn't have to deal with that and being away from both parents today"

"I hurt him kinda bad" he said sadly, shuffling his feet and looking at the
ground.

"What did you do?" she asked.

"I...I can't really tell you, I don't know how to"

"Did you tell him that you were in love with him?" she asked after staring
at her son intently for about a minute.

"What?!" he asked shocked and slightly scared.

"A mother always knows honey; I've known that you have been in love with
Jules for a while now. So am I right, did you tell him?"

He nodded, looking at the ground again.

"Ok so why is he mad?"

"Well...I told him last weekend, and he told me he loved me back and that
he always had and it was great. It was fantastic finally getting to be with
him the way that I wanted and then we won the championship and he threw the
team a party, we were up in his room and we were making out and Dante
walked in a and caught us" he took a deep breath and let it out slow "When
he saw us, I pushed him off of me and said he was drunk and tried to kiss
me, then Dante said all these bad things to Jules about him trying to rape
me because he didn't get it enough when Josh and Jacob did it to him and I
just stood there and let it happen"

"Oh my God, you're an idiot" she said with a sigh.

"Are you mad at me mom?" he asked timidly.

"You bet you light skinned black ass I'm mad...but not by what you think, I
don't care if you're gay or bi or whatever you think about yourself, you
are my son and I love you, if it was a problem I wouldn't except Jules and
I look at him like he was my own flesh and blood like I did his mother. I'm
mad because I raised you better then the way you behave; I'm finding it
hard not to slap you right now. You are to defend him at all costs, you
know that, I raised you to know that, he would do it for you and you stood
there and left him out in the cold. You broke his heart and knowing all the
shit that he is going through, I don't know if he will forgive you"

Ms. Talley told Aiden to stay outside while she went inside to speak with
Jules. She gave him a hug and told him that she was sorry for what
happened; he was taken aback by the fact that Aiden had been honest with
his mother when he couldn't be honest with himself.  She asked Jules to
allow Aiden to stay for dinner because above all else they were family, she
promised him that Aiden wouldn't speak to him or step out of line, Jules
agreed.

That all sat down to dinner in the formal dinning room with Jules sitting
at the head of the table, he decided not to give Aiden a second thought and
try his hardest to enjoy the meal. Everyone was fully aware of the tension
in the room, but everyone tried to push through it and with forced
conversation. Dustin wanted nothing more then to reach across the table and
break Aiden's nose but he didn't want to risk upsetting Jules any more then
he already was, Aiden kept sneaking glances at Jules and was doing his best
to cover the hurt and guilty feelings.

Kodi sat next to Jules which made him feel a lot better, he had just
realized that he actually liked having Kodi around, he had a way of making
everything seem like it was going to be ok. Jules started to relax a little
bit and really got into enjoying his meal when the door bell rang, with a
confused look on his face he got up walked over to the security monitor to
see who rang the door bell. With a smile on his face he ran to the door to
open it.

"Brother"

"Happy Thanksgiving brother" Damian said, giving Jules a huge hug. "Why
didn't my key work?"

"Long story" Jules said ushering him in the house.

"And why haven't you returned my calls?"

"Another long story" Jules replied with a grim look "What are you doing
here?"

"You haven't read you newspaper today?" Damian asked surprised.

Jules shook his head no.

"Go get it while I say hi to everyone" he said sadly. Jules knew something
was up and he started to panic, but he steeled his nerves and went to
retrieve the paper while Damian walked into the dining room to greet
everyone. After saying his hello's giving Ms. Talley a hug, he sat down in
Jules's seat and started picking at his food while waiting for him to
return. Jules walked back into the dining room with a nervous look on his
face.

"No one read the paper today?" Jules asked annoyed to everyone in the
room. Everyone replied no except for Aiden, who kept his eyes on his
plate. He unfolded the paper to the front pager and read it out loud.

"Jason West; father of convicted rapists and batterers Joshua and Jacob
West was murdered in a shoot out with American Government agents in Belize
yesterday. West; who was 45 years old and an officer with San Bernardino
City Police, was also arrested and charged with the same crime as his sons
but skipped bail and fled to South America.  No one knows as of yet how he
was able to flee the country, but had been on the run and spotted traveling
across South America, American Government agents got a tip of his
whereabouts and went to capture the fugitive. Upon trying to take him into
custody; West decided not to comply resulting in a shoot out and
subsequently ending his life also ending the life of at least one of the
American agents. In a surprising turn of events, the government agents did
not have permission from the Belize government to be in the country to
capture anyone and was later arrested and are now being held in Belize
Police custody"

"It was my dad, wasn't it?" he asked Damian in a whisper.

"Stellan was there and led the mission of course, but he wasn't the one
killed, he was however one of the ones that was arrested and taken into
custody"

Jules started to violently shake and Damian ran and wrapped his arms around
him.

"Don't worry brother, he is ok, my dad is already on his way there to get
him out and he also sent me here to be with you" he said, rocking Jules in
his arms.

"Is he really ok?"

"Yes, I promise"

"And you're gonna stay?" Jules asked, still holding onto Damian.

"As long as you need me brother"

After shedding a few nervous silent tears, Jules sat back down to
eat. Everyone finished their meal and went into the family room to have
dessert. Aiden felt really nervous to be around Damian, he didn't know if
he knew what he had done to Jules and was scared of the consequences, the
only thing he could do was sit silently on the couch and watch the football
game.

The night was coming to an end and everyone was packing up to leave, Jules
took Caden upstairs to show him the guest room where he would be
staying. He felt bad that he hadn't really paid any attention to his young
friend, he knew he was also going through a lot and really wanted to be
there for him, but the evenings events had put a lot on his mind. He
apologized to Caden for seeming distant but Caden understood what was going
on, he gave him a hug and told him not to worry about it because they were
spending the weekend together.

While Caden and Jules were upstairs, Damian was downstairs making himself
at home like he usually did when inside the Barrett home, he walked over to
the bar and poured himself a shot of vodka to ease himself and then went
right for Aiden.

"You and I need to have a word outside, now" Damian said to Aiden, clearly
pissed off.
