I wanna know what love is -- Chp 2

"Hello son"

"It's been a while, almost three months to be exact"

"I know Jules and I'm sorry, I've been a terrible father and you can't hate
me any more then I hate myself"

"Well what you do want now"

"I know I don't deserve to ask, but I just wanted know how your first day
of school went"

"Same ol same ol"

"Look Jules, I know I should be there with you, I have another assignment
to go on but I promise I'll be home by Halloween. You have my word"

"Whatever you say dad" Jules said, irritated with the conversation he was
having with his father "I have to go" and with that he hung up. He hadn't
wanted to think about the absence of his father, he had been putting it in
the back of his mind since the day he left. He didn't want to hate him, he
adored his father but he was definitely pissed that he would just up and
leave then call after two and a half months. He understood that his
mother's death must have been just as hard on his father then it was on
him, he just didn't know what to think about his father's actions at the
moment.

After hanging up on his dad; the door bell rang. Jules sprinted to the door
and by the time he got to the foyer he realized he was a little too anxious
and decided to take a couple seconds to calm himself before answering the
door. He looked through the peep hole and saw a bag with the McDonalds
emblem being held in front of the face of whoever was on the other side of
the door. Jules chuckled at what he saw before answering the door.

"I thought you could use some chicken McNuggets" DeMarco said with a smile
"consider them payment for letting me use your notes" Jules laughed at him
before stepping aside to allow DeMarco to enter.

"Holy shit this is a nice place" DeMarco said, looking around the massive
marble and wood foyer with a winding staircase.

"Um, thanks I guess" Jules said shyly "Go on in the family room and I'll
run up and grab the notes" He pointed the way to the family room before
dashing up the steps to his large bedroom. His parents built an addition
onto the house and their master bedroom was on the first floor off of his
dad's study, so they gave Jules the upstairs master bedroom with all its
amenities. He pulled his notes out of his desk and ran back downstairs.

When he entered the family room, he noticed DeMarco checking out all the
family pictures that covered the walls and the mantle. DeMarco picked up a
framed photo of Jules in elementary school from off the mantle and studied
with a look of sadness in his eyes. Jules was now really starting to wonder
what this guy's story was and why he was looking at his old photo like
that.

"Here are the notes" Jules said, pulling DeMarco out of his sad
thoughts. When he turned around to takes the notes from him, Jules noticed
that DeMarco's eyes where kind of misty and red. "Are you ok" he asked.

"Yeah sure, I'm fine" but Jules could tell he wasn't fine. Usually he
didn't care to want to get to know anyone, what would be the point since
everyone treated him like a leper, but he thought before there was
something different about DeMarco and since he was nice to him earlier,
Jules decided he was going to try and be a friend now.

"I don't believe you, so why don't we go into the kitchen so I can eat the
McNuggets your brought me and you can tell me what's up" Before giving
DeMarco time to object, he snatched the nuggets out of his hands and walked
into the kitchen and sat at the bar. He followed Jules in the kitchen and
sat down next to him as Jules dug into the McDonalds bag. Jules noticed the
uneasy look on his face.

"Can you tell me why you were crying over my picture" he asked straight to
the point. Taken aback but his abruptness, DeMarco stammered before
answering. "The photo reminded me of my little brother, he passed away last
year"

"Oh my God, I'm sorry to hear that. We don't have to talk about it if you
don't want to"

"No it's ok, I can talk about it" he said with a far away look in his
eyes. Jules waited patiently for him to continue. "He was the reason I
stopped that kid from punching you in the face today, because you reminded
me so much of him. Him and I were very close, I took care of him since our
dad walked out on us and he looked up to me, he was my best friend" DeMarco
started to tremble a little bit and Jules got up to get him a bottle of
water, he gave it to him and sat back down silently, waiting for him to
continue.

"He was a small guy just like you, and was getting bullied a lot. I
couldn't do much about it at the time because we went to different schools
and he wouldn't tell me or my mom who the bullies were. I could tell
something was really bothering him so one day I kind of forced him to tell
me what his problem was, he broke down and told me he was gay. He told me
he didn't want to tell me because he thought I would hate him...like I
could ever hate my little brother" DeMarco took a deep breath and a swig of
water before going on.

"I told him I love him no matter what, and I meant it. He didn't want to
tell my mom yet and I was ok with supporting him when he did. But someone
else knew and the rumors began to spread at his school and the bullying
started to worsen. I went to the principal and the teachers but none of
them seemed to care. Over the course of five months, it got really bad and
he started to shut himself off from me. I tried everything I could do to
help him but it wasn't enough, the day before his 15th birthday I found him
hanging in his closet"

Jules was floored. He didn't know what to say, his brain was going a mile a
minutes but his mouth couldn't seem to form words, DeMarco's younger
brother committed suicide. Jules thought back to the times he contemplated
suicide for the torment he had gotten from the West brothers and their
friends over the years, but he never went through with it because he didn't
want to hurt his parents or leave Damian behind. And now looking at the
hurt on DeMarco's face, he realized he had made the right choice in not
ending his life, at least for his parent's sake, and in that very second he
promised himself never to let the bullying get to him and maybe even fight
back against it.

Overrun with emotions, Jules got up and grabbed DeMarco into a huge hug,
well as huge as he could give, Jules was only 5'7 and DeMarco had to have
been over 6 feet. He didn't know why he did it; it just seemed like the
right thing to do.

"It was my fault" he said "I couldn't help him"

"You can't blame yourself, I'm sure you did all you could but sometimes the
harassment is just too much to handle"

"Has it ever gotten so bad you wanted to kill yourself?" DeMarco
asked. Jules didn't know how to answer, he wasn't even sure he should
answer "well have you?"

"Yeah I have" Jules whispered "I've thought about it a few times"

"Why, it looks like you have a nice life, or at least a nice home"

"A lot of people think that since I dress nice, live in a big house and
drive brand new cars that I'm happy, but money can't buy you happiness"
Jules said, somberly.

"Make me a promise" DeMarco said staring intently in Jules's eyes "Promise
me no matter how bad it gets, you will never ever do that"

"I promise" said Jules in a serious tone. They talked a while longer about
DeMarco's younger brother. Jules learned that he was indeed Italian and
moved to California with his mom over the summer due to his mother taking a
teaching job at the local university. DeMarco also told him that if he ever
needed him all he had to do was ask. Feeling more comfortable in his new
friendship, Jules started to open up more. He never really talked to anyone
as a friend except Aiden, Amy and Damian. Come to find out they had a lot
in common other then martial arts and being gifted students. They had to
same taste in music and video games, the both loved to run and both were
suckers for action movies.

Jules asked him if he left someone behind in New York, hoping that he was
gay but figuring he wasn't since DeMarco just confessed that his brother
was the gay one. DeMarco commented that he had a girl friend but they broke
up way before he had to move, Jules thought he would introduce him to
Amy. After talking for about an hour, Jules put on a movie and popped some
pop corn while they hung out and just got to know each other. "This guy is
pretty cool" Jules thought to himself. It was about 5:30 in the evening
when the movie ended.

"It's about dinner time, I should get going before you mother comes home"

"Um, my mom died a couple months ago" Jules said.

"Oh shit, I'm sorry man"

"It's ok, no worries"

"Well, what about your dad, will he be home soon?"

"Uh no" Jules said slightly laughing "I haven't seen my dad in two and a
half months"

"Whoa that's fucked up, may I ask why?"

"The company he owns is based out of New York so he is gone a lot" he
said. It's the truth but not the whole truth; he knew it mainly had to do
with his mother's death.

"Any wild parties?" DeMarco jokingly asked.

"I wish but no, my two best friends spend the night a lot so I'm not alone
and my third best friend who lives in New York spent a lot of time here
also but since school started it'll just be me"

"Well if you're ever bored or lonely just give me a call, I'll come and
stay with you"

"That would be cool, but what would your mom say?"

"Well I'm 18 so what could she say?" DeMarco replied with a grin.

He ended up staying a few more hours to watch another movie and order some
pizza, it's the best time Jules had just hanging out in a long time. He
ended up telling sharing his suspicions for his father really being gone
and DeMarco told him to just give him time and try to be understanding. It
was cool to Jules to have someone different to talk to. DeMarco finally
left after making plans to meet up with Jules before first period. "He is
definitely worthy of introducing to Amy" Jules thought as he closed the
door.

It was still hot in California even though it was September, Jules decided
to take a quick dip in the pool to cool off before heading to bed. He
walked out onto the back deck and took in the scene before him. The
backyard of his home was his favorite place in the entire world. It was
like his own personal oasis. There was a beautiful salt water pool, a 12
person hot tub and a pool house, but that's not what made it an oasis to
Jules. The yard was perfectly landscaped and covered with trees and
tropical plants. He would just lie out in the grass among the trees and the
bushes and just stare up at the stars. Jules stripped off his close and
dove in naked, enjoying the refreshing water on his bare skin.

After taking a dip in the pool, he grabbed his clothes and walked through
the house and up the stairs to his room. He had always been comfortable
with his body and even though he was small in stature, he was big in all
the right places. Since his father left, Jules took up hanging around the
house in the nude if he was alone, which was pretty often.

Once he got to his room, he opened his laptop to check his email. There was
a few nonsense emails advertizing weight loss pills, there was an email
from Damian telling him about his first day at school. Then there was the
weekly email from his ex-boyfriend, always saying the same thing "I'm
sorry, I didn't mean it, please give me another chance" Jules even thought
about taking him back a few times, but was always brought back to reality
when he think about what his ex-boyfriend Chris did to cause the split.

The two met at Victoria Gardens Mall on Jules's 15th birthday. He was
having lunch and a day of shopping with his parents. Chris literally ran
into Jules while shopping at Macy's; when their eyes met, it was instant
electricity. Chris was 6'1 very muscular all-American white boy high school
jock type, Jules was infatuated with him immediately. Chris loved the fact
that Jules was small, the top of his head came up to his chest, Chris also
loved the fact that Jules was black; he had a major thing for ethnic guys.

They became very close and Jules was in love, and he thought Chris was
too. They didn't go to the same high school but it didn't matter to them,
they still saw a lot of each other and even with all the bullying and
bullshit Jules had to endure at his own school, he was ok knowing he had a
boyfriend who loved him. Everything seemed great until Jules got a random
text message saying that his boyfriend was unfaithful and only wanted him
because his family was wealthy. The email was accompanied with photos of
Chris half naked making out with some guy.

Jules called Chris right away to ask him about the email and the photos,
and when Chris wouldn't out right deny it, Jules knew it was true and hung
up. Two days later Jules' mother died, Chris didn't even come to the
funeral even though Jules's parents loved Christ. He hasn't spoken to him
since and won't return his emails.

There was one more email; he recognized the email address
jakeyw13@gmail.com. Jules knew right away it was from Jacob West, everyone
called him Jakey and 13 was his baseball number, he hesitated before
opening the email.

It read: Aiden and your new faggot loving friend can't be around you all
the time, you are going to get yours and if you ever mention what happened
in the locker room freshman year I will kill you.

The email scared him; he knew that it wasn't a harmless threat. The West
brothers could be relentless. They hated him for being gay and out and had
tormented him since he had known them, matter-of-fact they bullied everyone
and thought they could get away with it because their father was a scary
cop who hated gay people and black people even worse then they did. Aiden
was the only one they really didn't mess with and that was because Aiden
was big and didn't take their shit, they were afraid of him, but even them
being afraid of Aiden didn't deter them from leaving Jules alone.

After closing his laptop, he set the house alarm and made sure all the
security cameras where operational, then climbed in his huge bed in his
huge house alone. He knew he wasn't going to get a good night's sleep, he
was too scared about Jacob's email, but soon his mind switched gears and he
started to think about the great afternoon he had with his new
friend. Sleep took him and he had a restful night, even despite the
threatening email.

The rest of the week was pretty easy for Jules, he picked up Aiden and Amy
in the morning and hung out with DeMarco in the afternoons, he even
introduced DeMarco to his two friends. He and Aiden hit it off right away,
DeMarco played on the varsity basketball team at his old school and Aiden
was looking for new players. Amy on the other hand was very shy and bashful
around DeMarco, which was strange because she was normally very out
going. One day while at lunch with Amy, Jules asked her about her weird
behavior.

"So what's up with you" he asked with a smirk.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't play dumb, you know what I mean. It's like your brain turns to mush
every time you're around DeMarco" he laughed.

"I know" she admitted embarrassingly "I don't know what it is about him,
he's freaking gorgeous"

"And he's a great guy too" Jules added.

"Do you think he likes me?" she asked.

"Well I know he thinks you're attractive, but I don't know if he likes you
seeing as you can't form functional thoughts or intelligent sentences when
he's around" He told Amy to open up a bit more, and even said he would
orchestrate some time for them to hang out alone so they could get to know
each other.

Even though things were going good with his friends, He was still having a
hard time with the West brothers. He had third and fourth periods away from
his friends and that was the time either Jacob or Joshua would hassle
him. He would get pushed into walls or Aiden with it because he had so much
on his plate with the homecoming football game just around the corner, and
he didn't want to bring his new friend into his mess, even though he told
him to come to him if he needed it.


**********

Homecoming came and went and was a great deal. DeMarco and Amy convinced
Jules to attend the game to support Aiden in the game and to support him as
homecoming King. They tried to talk him into going to the dance but he
refused and wasn't budging on his decision, however he was very happy when
DeMarco informed him they he asked Amy to the dance and that she accepted,
he was glad his friends had gotten together.

The night of the homecoming dance while Jules was at home getting an early
jump of homework, he got an email from his dad. He again apologized for not
being there for him, and said he wanted to tell Jules why but all the
courage left him when he looked at his son's face. Stellan also stated that
he thought he should email his excuse and hopefully go from there. His dad
said he blamed himself for his mother's death; it was him who was supposed
to be at the mall to pick up his gift, not his mother. Lastly; the email
stated that he couldn't bear to look Jules in the eyes because he had his
mother's eyes and he was ashamed for his son to know that his mother died
because of him.

By the time Jules finished reading his father's email, he was in tears. He
knew his father was hurting, but he never figured that his father blamed
himself for what happened. He fumbled for his cell phone and tried to dial
his dad's number but his eyes were to blurry from crying, he had to wipe
the tears away and calm down then he tried again. After a few rings, his
father answered.

"Jules?"

"I'm sorry dad; I wish you would have told me. I'm so sorry you feel that
way, please don't blame yourself, it wasn't your fault" He could hear his
father start to break down on the other end of the phone, he had never
heard nor seen his father cry before his mother died and hearing him now,
Jules knew he was in real pain over this.

"I was afraid you'd hate me if you knew the truth"

"Dad, I don't hate you and I don't blame you, I'm only upset that you left
that's all"

"Are you sure"

"I'm positive dad, I love you and I would never lie, you know that"

"Thank you son, I needed to hear that from you and I promise I'll be home
soon" They spoke for a few more minutes trying to catch up on time lost
before Stellan said he needed to get back to work. They made plans to talk
on Skype the following evening, and then Jules went to bed feeling a lot
better then he had in months.

The following school day, Jules went to pick and friends up for
school. When Amy got in the truck without Aiden, Jules found out that he
had partied a bit too hard at the dance and the after party and was now
sick. They drove to school as Amy gushed over the perfect time she had at
the dance, he listened intently as she regaled how DeMarco was a gentleman
and was the best kisser she ever had.

Once at school; they parted ways and Jules went to his and DeMarco's usual
meeting spot. All of a sudden he was shoved very hard into a wall, and then
punched in the stomach. He became dizzy from the slam into the wall and
slid to the floor in pain. Someone grabbed him by the collar and pulled
back to his feet. When Jules looked into the eyes of his attacker, her saw
both West brothers laughing, Jacob was the one holding him up.

"I told you your friends weren't always going to be around, Aiden isn't
here to save you queer" Joshua said standing behind his brother.

"I can't stand to look at you; the sight of you makes me sick. All faggots
like you should be destroyed" Jacob seethed as he hit Jules again in the
stomach. After catching his breath, he realized the halls were full of
students just standing around watching. No one said or did anything, Jules
finally realized he was tired of the abuse and was finally ready to do
something about it.

After getting to his feet, he looked up as Jacob and said "You didn't mind
me being a faggot freshman year when I let you suck me off in the locker
room" There was a sudden gasp from multiple students in the hall as they
stared and pointed. Jacob's eyes turned red with rage.

"You're a fucking liar"

"Call me a liar if you want, but a couple people saw and you know it" Jules
said still holding his stomach where he had been punched twice. Jacob came
at him but he hadn't realized that Jules anticipated the attack and gave
him an expeditious kick to the nuts. Jacob collapsed and yelled in
agony. Joshua was next to advance on Jules, who planted a swift front kick
to the solar plexus that sent him flying about three feet from where he was
standing. The West brothers were down and the crowd of students that
gathered to watch was in shock, no one guessed that little Jules Barrett
could defend himself, let alone do a good job at it, everyone looked at him
with fear in their eyes.

"Mr. Barrett, to my office now" Jules turned around to see Mr. Kripke, the
vice principal standing near him. "Will someone help these boys to the
nurse please" he shouted before following Jules to his office. Jules had
known Mr. Kripke for many years, him and Jules father were army buddies and
he was also Jules's Sifu (martial arts instructor) , and even though Jules
knew him away from school, he still had the ability to scare the shit out
of him. He was 6'3 280 pounds all solid beef and had a scowl that could
stop a bull.

"Sit down Jules"

"Mr. Kripke I was just defending -" but the vice principal cut him off.

"I know son, I seen and heard what happened" he said "I came in as you were
getting off the floor, I was going to intervene but I saw you take your
stance so I let it play out"

"You knew I was going to strike?" Jules asked slightly shocked.

"Of course I did, I trained you didn't I" Jules nodded, but he kept his
eyes on the floor, he knew Kripke well enough that something else was
coming. "Those boys deserve what they got, hell I'm actually surprised you
didn't do it sooner, I would have told you to but it's against my ethics to
tell someone that I have trained to openly hurt someone. I have to suspend
you Jules"

"But Mr. Kripke -" he cut him off again.

"I know, but school rules are school rules so I'm sending you home now. I
know your father isn't in town but I'll call him and let him know the truth
so don't worry"

"But what about them, they started it"

"They will get theirs, don't worry" Jules took a deep breath, his stomach
still hurt from being punched and he was still slightly dizzy from his head
being slammed into the wall. He got up and grabbed the door knob when
Mr. Kripke stopped him.

"Jules, I have trained you since you were 8 years old, you have two black
belts in two different forms of martial arts, you are also one of my best
students. Don't tell anyone I'm saying this to you but please start to
stick up for yourself, I'm not saying to go out and start kicking
everyone's ass but be assertive and stand your ground like I taught you. If
everyone knew the Jules that I know, no one would want to harm you" Jules
smiled at Kripke, formally bowed and said "Yes Sifu, I will"

By the time Jules walked out of the office first period was already in
session, he walked to his truck and headed home. On the way, he decided to
go check on Aiden and within 10 minutes he pulled into the drive way. The
two families were really close and Jules needed no invitation to visit, he
walked through the door without knocking, kicked off his shoes and walked
in the family room where he knew Aiden was.

"Hey little bro, what are you doing here, what aren't you in school?"

"I ditched and decided to come and hang out with you"

"Bullshit you ditched" he said with a laugh.

"I got suspended for a couple days"

"For what!!!" he shouted.

"I'm surprised you haven't found out by now, Jacob and Joshua started in on
me and I got tired of it so I laid into them, knocked the shit out of both
of them"

"Well about damn time, all that training was going to waste"

At that moment Jules got a text message from DeMarco saying he heard about
what happened and was sorry he wasn't there to help. The text also said
that he would get the assignments he was going to miss and drop them off
during lunch. Jules told Aiden he had to get home so he wouldn't miss
DeMarco and then headed home.

He pulled into his rounded drive-way and parked near the front door. He
opened the door and stepped into the foyer, but before he could turn and
closed the door he was hit by something hard in the back. He fell face
first into the marble floor and was dazed momentarily; he tried to get up
and put himself in a defensive stance but was kicked in the ribs. He could
hear the crunch and pop of bones breaking as he hit the ground, he rolled
over on his side and saw the West brothers in his home.

"You got us suspended for a week faggot and now I can't play in the next
game" shouted Joshua as he kicked Jules in the stomach and knocked the wind
out of him. Jacob picked him up and punched him in the face a few times;
Jules felt his nose break before he fell to the floor again. Joshua flipped
Jules on his stomach and held his wrists so he couldn't move as Jacob
pulled Jules's shorts completely off.

"Nooooooo" Jules screamed as Jacob got on top of him and spread his legs.

"You know you want it faggot" Jacob said he spit on his dick and shoved it
hard into Jules ass without mercy.

"NO Please no" he screamed. Joshua picked up Jules's head and slammed it
into the marble floor, knocking him unconscious. When his eyes opened
again, he was still on the ground in the foyer with Jacob still pounded in
and out of him. He tried to scream but his mouth wouldn't open, he tried to
fight free but his body wouldn't move. The few minutes of time actually
felt like hours, Jacob began to pick up speed and become more aggressive
and Jules knew that he was about to cum and hopefully this nightmare would
be over.

After a few more seconds, Jacob grunted and convulsed and dispelled his
seed inside Jules' bowels. "Did you like that fag?" Jacob asked as he
climbed off of Jules and switched places with his brother. "Oh God, this
isn't over" Jules thought to himself and Joshua assaulted his ass hole like
his brother did before him. Again it seemed to go on for ever until Joshua
climaxed inside of Jules.

When Joshua climbed off Jules, Jacob flipped him on his back and that's
when Jules noticed that there was someone else standing in the open door
way. He could barely see past his swollen eyes, had to focus before
realizing it was their father, Officer West, standing there like he was
proud of the rape his sons had just committed.

"That's enough boys, lets go, this little cocksucker get what he deserved
for getting you suspended" he said after he spat on Jules. The three of
them left without closing the door and leaving Jules naked and bleeding in
the foyer of his home. He couldn't call out or move and a pool of starting
to surround his legs. There was nothing he could do but just lie there, his
eyes started to get heavy and his breathing became shallow and that scared
him. "I don't wanna die" he thought to himself as he started to cry. He
didn't know how long he had lain there, but he was tired...too tired matter
now, he closed his eyes to allow the darkness to succumb him. Just as he
did, he heard a car pull up then someone come to the door but Jules
couldn't open his eyes to see who it was.

"Oh my God, Jules" it was DeMarco "SOMEONE CALL 911" he shouted. That was
it, the darkness took him.



(Author's Note)

I am sorry if the rape scene was a bit much for some readers, but trust
that something good will come out of it. I know I also said there would be
sex/love making in this story and there will be, so please bear with
me. Please email me with comments and suggestions at eric.z.james@live.com

A story always works better for me if I get a clear understanding of what
each character looks like. So below are photos of the people that will be
written about the most and as a new person is introduced, their photo will
be added.
