		Chapter 33

(JACOB'S POINT OF VIEW)

On my drive home I couldn't get my mind off the programs of these schools
not paying their bills. I even know at my age I need to pay my bills or I
will lose the goods and services paid bills provide me. What in the world
are these instructors thinking not paying the bill? They have more money
now in their program than they ever have had.

I must have been so deep in thought I didn't see the police vehicle parked
in front of my house until I was already pulling in to the driveway. I
should have been able to see the car once I turned the corner to my house.

Still no matter when I saw the car, they were here. The question was why
are the police at my house again? As I put my car in park all these
thoughts started going through my head. Who was hurt that the police were
here to let me, or someone in the house, know?

It could me Jeremy got hurt somehow. Or it could be Jeremy hurt someone in
the house because he got nervous. It could be Tom or David, Even my Joey,
could be hurt and that is why they are here. I needed to get those thoughts
out of my head right now. I wasn't going to be able to get out of my car if
I didn't.

I got out; still thinking the worst was about to hit me, as I walked in the
door. As I approached the door of the house, I was actually shaking as I
turned the door handle to open it. When I opened the door, Beth met me. She
must have seen my face and realized I was frightened, so she smiled at
me. With that simple smile I knew everything was ok.

"Don't worry about anything Jake. Today it is good news for a change!"

We walked into the den where the officers were sitting. I looked over at
the officers and smiled as I sat down in one of the chairs that wasn't
taken.

"Are you Jacob Hernandez?"

"Yes sir I am Jacob, how may I help you?"

"The reason we need to speak with you and Beth is because of some good news
we have. I understand you and Beth are taking care of David while he is
attending high school. Is that correct Jacob?"

"Yes sir that is correct. His father left him for us to watch over him
while he attends high school!"

"Ok well we are here to let you know that we have caught three of the five
guys that assaulted David. We know by offering these kids a deal they will
hand over the other two."

"Will you need David to go down and ID them?"

"No. We try our best to get the defendant to admit to their
wrongdoing. Since these guys are kids and scared out of their pants right
now, they have admitted already for the wrong doing with their parents
present. All we need to do is get them to tell us who the other two are."

"Did they tell you why they did what they did to David?"

"They claim it was a game and they were drunk that night."

"It was a game and blaming it on the alcohol is pure bull. They took a
young man and ripped away his soul and heart. He almost killed himself
because of what these kids claim was a game. To tell you the truth I'd
rather they spend as long behind bars as the law allows rather than get
years knocked off for telling you who the others are!"

"Jake I understand your anger about this. Believe me when I say we got a
mouth full from his dad before we came down here. He wants the book thrown
at them and the keys thrown away. The problem is that these kids are under
the age of eighteen. The most they will get is a sentence in juvenile hall
to the age of twenty one."

I couldn't believe this shit. They had to know this as well. That is why
they were spilling the beans now. If this goes to court, it could be
delayed for years. Once it hits the dockets they would be above the age of
eighteen and they could be tried as adults and can be sentenced as such.

"Well officers I do thank you guys for catching these kids. I hope you guys
do everything you can to make sure they spend as much time as possible
behind bars. There isn't any excuse that could cover what they did to
David."

I got up from the chair and escorted the officers out the door. I thanked
them once again when I shook each of their hands at the door. I walked back
into the den and Beth was still just standing there. I looked at her and
realized that it was bothering her a lot. Tears were rolling down her
face!"

She realized I was standing in the room once again. She wiped her face and
walked into the kitchen to begin dinner. There came a knock on the door as
I started walking to the kitchen behind Beth. I turned and headed to the
front door. Beth actually poked her head out of the kitchen to see who it
was.

I opened the door to see the Miller's standing there.

"Hello there Mr. and Mrs. Miler! How are you guys doing this afternoon?"

I opened the door all the way to let them in. Beth joined us in the
hallway.

"We figured to stop by and let you know we have completely moved out of the
house as of yesterday. Here are the remaining keys we could find. I have
some bad news though."

I looked at them with an `oh shit' kind of face! I didn't want to hear
there was a problem about the house we just bought.

"We are missing a set of keys to the house. We collected them from all the
people we gave them to except our older son. He can't find them at all."

"Don't worry Mr. Miller I have a lock smith coming down tomorrow to change
out the locks of the house. You told us early on that you would be out no
later than Thursday."

"Oh thank you Jake I just worried myself for nothing!"

"Don't worry anymore about the house. You left it in good hands and Beth
will take very good care of it, trust me!"

The Miller's smiled after I told them the news. Even after telling them I
was going to change all the locks in the house they still insisted on
giving me all the keys they had. I smiled as I walked them to the door.

As I shut the door I hoped we were not going to get any more visitors this
evening. I needed to break the news to David about the police catching
three of the guys that hurt him. Mainly I needed to figure out a way to
tell him.

Before I could even make it up the stairs the door opened. I looked to see
who it was that was coming through the door. It was Jeremy. Some how I
forgot all about him through all the visitors we had had already.

I walked down and he gave me a hug. I felt better already with the Jeremy
had given me. I smiled at him and signed how his day was going! He signed
back it was good and he had homework to do.

I looked up at the instructor wondering where he had taken Jeremy.

 "I see you have built a good relationship with my brother! Where did you
all come in from?"

"We left the house when the police showed up. For some reason the noise
from their radios gets to Jeremy. We went to the park and finished the
class there. I hope there was no problem with me taking him out?"

"Oh no, not a problem at all. I just was wondering about Jeremy. That was
good thinking getting him out of the house, by the way."

"Thank you Jake! I will see Jeremy and Beth again tomorrow. You guys have a
good evening!"

I finally had a chance to get out of my clothes and into some running pants
once the teacher had left. This time I made it all the way to my room and
changed before Beth yelling up to me interrupted me again.  Joey and I
needed to put in an intercom system in this house!

I walked down to see what Beth needed. She wanted to walk over to the house
and see it for the first time. I went to get Jeremy to go with us to the
house.

I shouldn't have been surprised that when we walked in the house it was
clean. Older people tend to be a lot cleaner than us younger kids. Beth
just looked the house over from one end to the other. I can see she was
making plans in her head.

All of a sudden I felt arms come around my chest. I turned to see whom it
was and before I was able to see, I was kissed, A that told me exactly who
it was. Once we stopped kissing, I spoke for the first time.

"I have a very handsome boyfriend that might get mad if he sees me kissing
the likes of you!"

"You should tell that boyfriend of yours that you are no longer his!"

I started laughing! I couldn't keep it up with Joey. Joey loves to
role-play and every time we role-play I ruin it. Still I try to do it for
him because it makes him happy.

"Thank you for leaving me a note saying where you and my mom were! Let me
take a look at the house we gave her!"

Joey now started looking around the house. Just like Beth, he looked it up
and down. You can tell Joey and Beth are mother and son. They look at the
same things and it made me laugh again.

"Beth you need to tell us what you want done in the house. What colors you
want the walls painted. That way Joey and I can buy the paint and materials
and get the guys to help us out to paint the walls."

Beth just looked at me with a big smile on her face. Once again she looked
around making a mental list of things she wanted to do. Joey walked back
over to me and kissed me on the lips.

"This house is awesome for my mom, thank you!"

I didn't say a word to him. All I did was grab a hold of my handsome devil
around his waist. I held onto him for dear life. We both watched as Beth
looked around the house over and over again. Neither of us rushed
her. Jeremy actually started writing on the walls of the house while we
waited.

Since they were going to be painted, we didn't really care. I did walk over
to Jeremy and ask him to stop. If I didn't, he would think it was ok to do
this anytime he comes over.

Once we finally were able to get out of there Beth seemed to be smiling
from ear to ear. That caused Joey to smile from ear to ear. And his smile
was a smile I wanted to see every day of my life.

I knew when I walked through the door at home this was going to be a busy
night. I saw that Andy had brought Normal over, and I needed to speak with
her. But the most important person I needed to speak with was David. He was
sitting in front of the television with Tom's arms around him.

"Hey David and Tom can I speak with you two in the study for a few
minutes?"


At first they just looked at me and then nodded their heads. They followed
me into the study and closed the door. Before I could get the first word
out Tom spoke up.

"Jake whatever it is I promise we can fix it!"

"This is not making me feel good at all if you think I brought you guys in
here because I found out something was wrong, when I didn't.  That means
there is something I should know about and I don't. I hope I am wrong about
this whole thing!"

David and Tom just looked at each other then at me. They nodded their heads
no! I know they did something, but right now I need to take care of the
reason I brought them in here. I will worry about the other thing later.

"Never mind that for now you guys. Whatever you did I will find out soon
enough! David I need to tell you something very important. I brought Tom in
for support as I tell you."

"When I got home today from school there were several police officers here
waiting for me. They needed to tell us some very good news. They caught
three of the five guys. Well you know what they did. They actually admitted
it and will serve time for it."

"So, David, you won't need to even go to court on this!"

David just looked at me. He didn't even bat an eye when I told him the
news. I knew this could be the reaction to the news I given him. Tom just
looked at David trying to figure out what to do. I signaled to him to hold
David.

Just as Tom grabbed a hold of David, he broke down. He started crying so
loud that the others came running in! I know they meant well, so I figured
it might be best to have support here for David.

While I was telling David and Tom, Beth took the guys and told them the
same thing. So they knew why David was crying. They also wanted to be there
for him. We surrounded him showing him we were there for him. David got
control of himself pretty quickly. He got up and walked out of the
study. Tom followed him out.

I got up myself to head to the kitchen. I knew David was feeling all sorts
of things right then. It could be for the best that Tom was the only one
around him right now. I didn't want to overwhelm him with all of us around
him.

(DAVID'S POINT OF VIEW)

It couldn't be good whatever Jake needed to talk with Tom and I
about. Whenever he asks to talk with us in the study, it's normally
something serious. I got up pulling Tom to his feet as we followed Jake
into the study.

Stupid Tom right away told Jake whatever it was we could fix it. He could
have just as well written a sign and pinned it to our chests that we broke
the window in my bedroom. Jake isn't the kind of person that blows his top
over small things like that. Still, he is giving me a roof over my head and
food in my stomach and I needed to pay for anything I broke in the house.

 Tom and I sat down on the couch in the study. Jake looked very serious as
I leaned against the desk. I knew we were not in trouble because he wasn't
sitting behind the desk. At first he just looked at us, and then began to
speak.

At first I didn't understand what he meant that it was good to have Tom
here for my support. Then when he actually broke the news he had for me. I
couldn't believe my ears. I just looked straight at Jake not wanting to
believe this could actually be over.

Then it happened, I just fell apart. The next thing I knew everyone in the
house was telling me something and I didn't even know what each of them was
saying. I was in my own mind, not caring about what the others were
saying. I just needed to think. I needed all them to let me be alone for a
while.

I walked out of the study and headed out the back door. I walked over to
the shed to hide. I got around the back of the shed and started sliding
down the wall until my butt hit the ground. I knew someone followed me out
here, but was giving me space.

I just sat there thinking what this entire thing meant. I knew Jake told me
that I would not need to testify. Those guys that hurt me confessed what
they did. So you think that would make me feel a lot better. For some
reason it didn't. Why doesn't it make me feel a whole lot better?

I just sat there thinking the same thing over and over again. Then I
thought maybe I needed to see them get sentenced for the wrong they did and
not hide behind a plea bargain. I pleaded with them not to hurt me. In fact
I begged them not hurt me. They didn't listen to me, so why should I give
them any pity?

I knew what Jake would tell me. He would say we were better than those
scumbags. We didn't need to lower ourselves to their level. Although they
didn't give me pity, I should be a better man than them. I won't give them
pity, but whatever the law feels is right, I will have to live with.

I don't know how I got into Jakes mind. We have been friends now for a
while. We talk a lot and maybe, because of the talking we do, now let me
think of what he might say. Jake is a good guy to have in your corner.

I walked around the shed and saw Tom sitting against the wall of the shed
in front. I looked down at him as he looked up at me. I cracked a smile at
Tom as he looked up. I extended my hand to help him up. We walked back into
the house to join the group for dinner.

They actually waited for Tom and me to join them. There wasn't another word
spoken about the news Jake had delivered earlier today. I started joking
around with the guys at the table. I felt I lot better after taking that
moment to be by myself.

I looked over to my right at Tom. The poor guy has been so patient with me
since this whole thing had started. I love him so much for doing it. I know
he has to want sex right now and I can't give him any. I should just let
him go out to find someone to have sex with. He doesn't deserve being put
through this with me. The next time we are alone I will be talking to him
about this issue.

(NORMAL'S POINT OF VIEW)

When Andy invited me to eat dinner at his brother's house, I was
surprised. I knew it wasn't his brother that invited me. I knew it was Andy
that wanted me over at the house for dinner. So I didn't say no, I took him
up on the invitation.

I arrived at Jacob's house early. I knocked on the door and Andy was the
one that answered it. We have not really talked since that night at the
restaurant. I know Andy is still angry with me; I just can't stop thinking
about his brother being gay.

"I need you to be on your best behavior tonight Normal, please!" Andy
pleaded.

I just looked at Andy as he escorted me in the house. All I did was shake
my head to what he just told me. We walked into a room that seemed that all
the guests were being asked to wait in before dinner. I didn't know that
all these guys actually lived here.

I sat down with Andy joining the conversation that was going on.  Jake
appeared at the door of the room and looked straight at a couple of guys
that up to now I hadn't seen were actually together. One of the guys had
his arms around the other sitting on the floor. What the hell, was this
house full of gay couples or what?

When they got up I couldn't understand them at all. Both of them were very
handsome guys. It looked like one, if not both of them, were involved in
some kind of sports at school. They were all very well built young guys.

I always thought gay guys ran around dressed in all these bright colors
acting like fairies, walking on their toes, gesturing with their hands all
over the place, and talking with high-pitched voices. Neither these two
nor, for that fact, do Jake or Joey. All four of them act straight as an
arrow. If I weren't told they were gay, I would have never thought they
were.

An older lady walked in the room and called out to the rest of the
guys. They all left the room except Andy. I now wanted to know what in the
world was going on here. Soon my question was answered by a loud crying
coming from down the hall. All of the guys rushed into the room that I
figured was where the cries were coming from.

I just sat there looking at Andy trying to figure out what happened. Andy
just held onto my hand while whatever was unfolding in the next room was
dealt with. Maybe about five minutes later the same older lady walked in
and told us dinner was ready.

Andy and I walked to the dinning room. Everyone except the two guys that
had followed Jake out of the room were standing there. No one said a word
to each other; they just stood there.

I really don't know how long we stood there looking at the table of food,
but it had to be a while. Finally the two guys that went with Jake joined
us. We all sat down and dug in. They talked about everything. I was right
that several of the guys at the table were gay and were also on sports
teams. In fact Joey and Tom were on the football team and Jake was on the
track team.

All I could think about through dinner was Jake. I needed to speak with him
before the night was over. I needed to tell him that I didn't want him at
my wedding. Andy wasn't going to tell him that he didn't want him and his
boyfriend there. Still, this was my wedding day and if I don't want someone
at my wedding, they should not be invited or show up.

I needed to do this in a way that Andy wouldn't find out that I had asked
this of Jake. If Jake goes running to Andy like the little pussy I know he
was, it wouldn't hurt anything right now anyway. Andy already had told me
to take the good and the bad that comes with marrying him. I can take
anything except having gays at my wedding.

We all walked out leaving the older lady to do the clean up. I tried to
help her, but she shooed me away. As I made my way back to the room where
we were before we ate, I ran right into Jake. I knew this was going to be
my only chance to talk with him.

"Jake is there somewhere we can talk in private?"

Jake just looked at me first, and then spoke.

"Yeah we can speak in the study over here. Do you need me to go and get
Andy?"

"No, that's ok. I need to speak with you alone if that is ok?"

We walked into this room that just took my breath away. It looked like the
biggest room in the house. The room was filled wall-to-wall with books, a
desk, chairs and a couch in the middle. Jake pointed to a chair for me to
sit in. He went around the desk and sat.

"So Normal how can I be of service to you tonight young lady?"

"Jake I need to get a couple things straight with you tonight. Please let
me say my peace before you say anything, ok?" Jake shook his head in the
positive. "I know your brother probably better than you do since you guys
never got along when you were growing up. When your mother kicked him out
with no help or support from you or your sister, I, and my brother, took
him in. We fed him; we helped him when you guys were not willing to do so."

"Your brother is a nice guy and won't do what I am willing to do. I don't
like gays. I didn't know you were gay until I met you the other night. To
make everything easier for the both of us, I want you to tell your brother
that you don't want to go to the wedding. You thank him for the invite, but
you just can't go."

"Do it nice and do it quick. I don't want you at my wedding. If you choose
to take me on and not do as I ask, you will lose your brother
altogether. So act like a man, use the balls between your legs like a man
and tell your brother thanks but no thanks."

At first Jake didn't say anything to me. He just sat there looking straight
into my eyes. The stare spooked me the most.

"Normal before you open your mouth, you should get your facts
straight. When my mother kicked Andy out of the house, I was in the
hospital fighting for my life. I am a cancer survivor you stupid witch. If
I could have gotten my butt out of that bed from the hospital, I would have
fought for Andy with all my might against my mother. Don't come in here and
tell me I don't care about my brother."

I tried to get up and leave the room, but Jake stopped me.

"No you don't Normal. I gave you the respect and listened to you. You will
sit your ass back in that seat and listen to me now."

I sat back down realizing I picked a fight with a guy that surely was not
going to take it lying down.

"No one and I mean NO ONE has the right to come into my home and tell me I
don't care about my family. Andy invited me to the wedding. He asked me to
be his best man. I don't give a fucking rat's ass if you don't like me, or
the way I live. Yes I am gay and happy being so. I have a partner I love
very much; you straight couples could only imagine the love Joey and I
have. You guys hate everything and anyone that does not fit into your
narrow-minded mold."

"You hate gays and I don't care anymore. I am tired of worrying about how I
can win you over, but not after today. Either you get over this hate you
have for gays or you deal with my boyfriend and me. My brother invited me
to the wedding and wants me to be his best man. I am honored to be his best
man and I plan to be there and stand up for him on his happy day."

"So, you and I will get along for that day. After that I don't care what
the hell you do. Just keep your broom stick out of my house."

I couldn't believe what Jake was saying. I know he knows I can't go running
to Andy about the way he is talking to me. I did this on my own. Now I have
to swallow my pride and walk out of this room. I got up and walked as
quickly as possible to the door.

When I joined Andy where we started the evening he just looked at me
knowing something was up. I was shaking really badly and tears started
rolling down my cheeks. I needed Andy to support me here. I need him to
tell me everything was alright and take my side and tell his brother he was
wrong and to go to hell.

"What's wrong Normal? You are shaking like a leaf! You look like you are
about to cry!"

"Andy I just talked with Jake! I know you wanted me to stay away from him
this evening. I just wanted to extend an olive branch to him. I love you so
much. I decided my dislike about the way your brother chooses to live his
life wasn't worth me being apart from you. All your brother did was take
the branch and throw it back in my face."

Andy got up and headed out to the hallway. He called out for Jake several
times before he came. I knew I had Andy where I needed him. Jake was gone
as of now from my life.

(JACOB'S POINT OF VIEW)

I heard my brother calling for me. I walked out of the study the second
time he called out for me. He is standing in the hallway yelling at the top
of his lungs. I just looked at him like he was crazy!

"What is this I hear that Normal tried to offer you an olive branch and you
threw it back at her?"

"Andy I did not throw the olive branch back in her face. Well yeah I did do
that. She asked me to tell you I didn't want to go to your wedding. She
said you would never ask me not to come. So I should grab my balls and tell
you thanks but no thanks. If you don't want me at your wedding anymore,
just say the word and it is done."

Andy looked back into the television room. I knew he wass looking at
Normal.

"Look Andy I told her as far as I care, we need to get along for just that
one day. After that I don't care what she does just as long as she doesn't
park her broom in my house."

"What do you mean park her broom in your house? Are you calling Normal a
witch?"

"Andy you were not in that room when she talked to me. She told me..."

I went into detail about what Normal actually said. From Marie and me not
standing up for him when mom kicked him out. All the way to me grabbing my
balls and do what is right. I must I have hit a nerve, because Andy walked
back into the room.

The next thing I saw was Andy pulling Normal straight out the door. She
must have said something that Andy only told her about. Now her own words
had come back to haunt her. I hoped whatever happens they would work it out
and the wedding would happen.

Still I can't help but wonder why there are people out there that have so
much hate for people like Joey, Tom, David and me.  I have stopped being
surprised how others think anymore. People are just the way they are
because they were brought up that way.

Nothing more was mentioned the rest of the evening. I don't know what he
told Normal outside, but whatever it was it didn't involve me knowing. I am
fine with that. Let's put it as simply as possible. I want Andy to be happy
and if that means him marrying Normal I will stand by his side.

When I woke up in the morning, I didn't want to get up. But once I did and
got going the day went fast. Now it was time for the Friday night high
school football game. Joey and I got home ate and got ready to head to the
game.

Joey took off in his truck because he had to get to the field earlier on
away game nights. I stuck around and got Jeremy ready to go. I decided to
take Jeremy to the game for the first time. I hope I wasn't making a big
mistake doing so.

The game wasn't bad at all. Joey and the team won the game. Not as big as
last Friday's game, but they won. There were no record-breaking moments. It
was a hard fought game between the two teams out there. At the end our
school won thirty-one to twenty eight. A win is a win in my book.

Jeremy enjoyed himself all night. He was content with his cup of soda,
popcorn and huge foam hand. Every time the crowd jumped up yelling for
whatever reason Jeremy followed suit. I liked seeing him having fun. As
soon as the game ended Jeremy and I went straight home. As far as I know
there was no party after the game.

We slept in on Saturday morning. I didn't have to get up for track this
morning and boy I am happy about that. What woke me up was the smell of
bacon and pancakes. I love Beth's pancakes. It had become a normal
breakfast in this house when all of us were here.

All weekend long we spent fixing up Beth's house. By Sunday night we
already had the entire inside of the house repainted. Everyone helped
through the weekend. Neither Joey nor I had to ask for the help. They just
came along. Now all Beth needs to do is go furniture shopping for her new
house. Joey promised to take her throughout the week.

David is more vocal than he has been since the rape. He seemed to be
putting that day behind him. I don't know if he and Tom are doing the
naughty thing yet. Still, both seem to be very happy with each other!

Once I walked into the house after a long day of painting, Andy wanted to
speak with me. We went to the den for some privacy from the guys. The look
on his face didn't feel good to me at all. This had to be very bad news for
me.

We sat down in the den and Andy just looked at me for a few minutes and
then spoke.

"Jake this is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. You know I love you
and I will do anything for you. I also really love Normal and she loves
me. I want to marry her so much I can't even put it in to words.

What she did and said the other night was wrong. Also Jake, you have to
hold some of the blame about the other night. You should have just let her
say her peace. Then she would have walked away from you."

I couldn't believe the words coming out of my brother's mouth. He knew me
better than that. If I am being wronged, I will stand up for myself!

"But you egged her on about the whole subject of you and Joey. She has put
her foot down about you not only coming to the wedding, but as well, being
my best man. I love you Jake but I want to get married. Please understand
that part from me. We will have time to get Normal to get to know you and
Joey. Just right now I need to listen to her!"

"What I am trying to say Jake is this. Please Jake don't take this
wrong..."

I knew what he was going to do. It was hurting me in ways I can't
explain. Tears started rolling down my cheeks. My own brother doesn't want
me at his wedding. I can't believe this! My own brother is breaking under
the pressure of his soon to be wife to not allow me to go to the wedding
because I am gay!

"Jake please don't be this way. I love you bro but I need to be happy as
well. After I get back from the honeymoon we will do something together. I
promise I will make this up to you. Just you and me bro, we will do
something after the wedding!"

Andy got up from the couch where he was sitting and walked out of the
den. I just couldn't understand this at all. I can't win no matter what I
do here. Being gay will always keep me from the normal things of life.

I sat in the den just thinking about what just happened. I finally stopped
crying about it. Crying won't get me to go to the wedding of my
brother. One thing I am promising myself tonight. The next person that
fucks with me about being who I am. Well let me just say this! They will be
fucking around with one pissed off fag.

Around nine thirty I decided to go up to bed.  As I walked up the stairs to
my room I felt drained. Emotionally and physically from the days events!
All I wanted to do was put my head on the pillow and sleep this day away.

I got undressed as soon as I got into the room. I did my business in the
bathroom before I crawled into bed. Joey was still downstairs with Tom and
David, so the bed was empty. I crawled in and turned off the light. I was
out before I knew it.

Monday felt more a drag then anything else. Mondays are bad as it is and
now I have more shit piled on top of it. When I woke up in the morning I
was told that Andy moved out last night. I was so angry with him for
sneaking out in the middle of the night like a thief in the night. I never
asked him to move out. We didn't see eye to eye on this subject, but he was
always welcome at Joey's and my house.

All the guys kept asking me through the day why Andy moved out the way he
did. I told each of them separate and together at lunch to mind their own
business. This problem was between me and my brother and nobody else.

To make things worse, when I walked into the ROTC build the Major needed to
speak with me. As I walked into his office Loraine was standing there. I
knew what she was there for. I just couldn't understand why the Major
entertained the notion of hers.

Major Moore spoke first of course.

"Jake I don't understand why you would override a decision of the promotion
board. If the other officers on the board decided not to give a promotion
to a cadet, it should stand. You should not step in and change the decision
while the cadet is in front of you all. It makes us look bad and that we
don't know what we are doing."

"Major Moore with all due respect Sir, the reason the board was put
together is to leave the decision making of the cadet up to his or her
fellow NCO'S and officers. When we created this board you had a say in what
powers were given to each person sitting on the board. We both, here in
this office, agreed to give the battalion commander the right to over ride
the decision of the board if he or she felt the decision was wrong.

I felt the decision was wrong that the board made. I looked at the cadet's
file, along with his grades. On top of all that, he didn't miss one
question or mess up in the drilling test. So if Loraine here can tell me
one good reason why my decision is wrong. I will go to that cadet and take
the rank from him."

Loraine and Major Moore stayed quiet after I finished speaking. They both
knew they were wrong about this whole issue. The damn board was a week ago
and she just now comes in to report me. I am simply tired of her and her
conniving ways.

"I will take the quiet in this office as I am right and Loraine is wrong."

Major Moore got up and walked around his desk. Looked at me, then over to
Loraine. He looked back at me and spoke up for the first time since I
answered his question.

"Jake I am sorry for bringing you in here like this. You are right and you
were right the day of the promotion board. You and Loraine are dismissed!"

"Sorry sir I want to talk with you about one more item. What is the rank
needed to be a drill team commander?"

"I don't understand what you are getting at Jake!"

"I understand you need to be at least a cadet captain in order to command a
drill team."

"Yes you are right on that Jake!"

"I am the battalion commander of this battalion. As such I have the right
to demote and take anyone I feel does not meet the right stature to be on
the battalion staff. Am I right on this point as well Sir?"

"To a point you are right on that point. You can recommend a removal of a
cadet from battalion staff and his or her demotion. If it is an officer it
goes through me, but the final say is Colonel May's"

"Then I am putting in a request to remove Loraine from battalion executive
staff and to demote her from the rank of cadet major top cadet captain! I
would ask for a lower demotion but I can't because you seem to want her as
your unarmed drill team commander. I just want her out of my hair, Sir!"

"You are going to give me more than I want her out of my hair as a reason
for demotion."

"Major Moore we don't have all day here for me to list the reasons. I have
more than enough for my request to be granted. I know Colonel May will have
no problem signing this order."

Major Moore just looked at me with a stunned looked on his face. I never
wanted to do this to anyone. Loraine left me with no other choice but to do
so. She was still up to her old tricks of back stabbing, stepping on
whoever to get what she wants.

"Jake you will need to formally put the request in. Then it will be a
matter for the promotion and demotion board to take up. Since you are
putting in the request, you can't sit on the board. Also it involves a
battalion staff member so it will need to have the brigade staff to sit in
judgment Sir!"

"That's fine, I will formally put in the paperwork and make the calls to
the separate battalions to get the brigade over her to rule on this
matter. That will mean if we involve the brigade staff, Colonel May will
need to be here as well."

"I didn't think that through sir. You are correct on that as well. Loraine
can you leave me and Jake to talk this through?"

Loraine wanted to say something but decided against it. She walked out of
the office with a stunned look on her face. Once she left, Major Moore
tried to convince me not to go through with my request. I stood my ground,
which resulted in him picking up the phone to call Colonel May.

The decision was made to have the demotion board convene here in our range
tomorrow before school. After that Colonel May had no time to be part of
the board, which would mean Loraine would keep her position and rank for
the rest of the year.

Major Moore called in Loraine and gave her the news. She looked destroyed
hearing the news. She not only got demoted from the rank of Lt. Colonel,
battalion commander at the beginning of the year, she was bypassed to get
the position back when Fierro got Brigade. Now she was going in front of
the board, and more than likely would get demoted even further.

Loraine just hit me at the wrong time on the wrong day. I was tired of
people stepping all over me. I have tried and tried to help Loraine, but
she doesn't want any help from anyone. As a result this is what happens to
those who bite the hand that is helping them.

I stayed later than the others during track practice. I needed to run
myself out. I needed to think about things from Andy, to Normal, to
Loraine. I started feeling really bad for Loraine. I should have cooled
down and not made such a decision in the heat of the moment. She worked
hard for the rank she had. I didn't know what to do.

So I kept running around the track. I ran and ran; even when it got dark I
was still out there running. I couldn't find the solution to what was
bothering me. There had to be a solution to all of this. I just couldn't
find it.

I lost the love of my brother in one night. I just can't make any sense of
all of that. Why does Normal hate me, and all gays for that matter? Has A
gay person done her so wrong somewhere in her past that now she just hates
all gays in general? Is it her up bringing to have this hate?

I just kept running and running around the track trying to figure the
answer out. One thing was clear to me. She had no right no demand from my
brother to not be brothers with me anymore. How could brothers even do
that? We don't have a choice of who our family members are. We just have to
live with their faults.

Another thing that's for sure here is that Andy is just as wrong as
Normal. He needed to stand up to her and say it is my brother, live with
it. Instead he pretty much has disowned me.

I finally stopped running and headed to shower and change. But I found the
locker room locked up already. I looked at my clock and saw it was eight
already. I walked to my car in the parking lot to head home.

For some reason instead of turning onto my street I kept going until I got
onto the freeway heading west. I kept going and thinking about everything I
wanted answered.  I wanted to be able to figure out the answers; I just
couldn't figure anything out. All I know is this. No matter what I do in
life, good or bad, I won't get anywhere because I am gay. Simply put,
people will never give me a chance. Talk about prejudice, this was it.

I walked into the house close to eleven. I actually drove all the way to
Las Cruces and back trying to think. I still wasn't tired as I walked into
the bathroom, but still, I needed to get some sleep for school tomorrow.

When I crawled out of bed, I saw that Joey had already left. I'll tell you
this, I was happy to see that. I didn't want to explain to Joey what was
going through my head right now. It might sound like I am being a big old
baby. To tell you the truth, I am probably was being a baby.

Once I got into my uniform I headed to school. I needed to be present for
the demotion board. As soon as I walked into the ROTC building, everyone
was waiting on me. We walked into the small classroom, which was
rearranged.

The desks were put in a "U" formation with two desks in the middle. I liked
this set up more than the setup we used for the promotion board. The
brigade commander, Fierro sat at the middle desk. The rest of the officers
filled in the desks to his right and left evenly. Lorain took one of the
desks in the middle and I the other desk! Colonel May and Major Moore sat
in the desks at the end.

The rules of the proceeding were the first thing read off. Then Fierro
gaveled the board to order and read off the demotion case in front of
them. Loraine had her chance to put up a defense as to why she shouldn't be
demoted. I was really not surprised to see Major Moore at her defense. I
had to speak because I put in the request.

Each board member had a chance to question each of us on any subject
concerning the demotion. Loraine made a big deal that I was out to get her
for fear of her taking my position away. It looked like some of the board
believed her on that because the majority of the questions to me were on
that subject alone.

When the board excused us from the room, I knew then that I had screwed up
with Major Moore. I have the rank on my shoulders, but he won't give me
Battalion Commander again next year. In return I won't be able to go in
front of the Brigade Board.

Loraine and I sat in the large classroom for maybe fifteen minutes. Then we
were asked back in. As soon as we took our seats, Fierro gaveled the board
back together. At this point only Fierro could speak.

"Cadet Major Loraine Luaveno please stand. We have heard all the testimony
concerning your case in front of us. We came to a decision about your
standing in your unit. This board has found enough evidence was presented
to hold the request for your demotion. You are here demoted to the rank of
cadet captain and removed from the Battalion Staff."

"Can I say something before you continue Fierro?"

"You had your chance to speak Cadet Captain Luaveno. Now is the time for
this proceeding to end with its ruling."

"I want to request the removal of our Battalion Commander from his
position. He has had a personal dislike of me from the beginning. That
alone is the reason I am here today."

"Your request is denied cadet captain. We ruled on the facts that were
presented to us. Your defense did not hold water in these
proceedings. Simply put, your Battalion Commander fought on your behalf
several times not to be demoted. That alone told this board he had nothing
against you.

As well he requested you to be busted down only one rank. The board wanted
to bust you back down the 2nd Lt. You have Major Moore and your Battalion
Commander to thank for your captain rank.

This proceeding is over and all are dismissed!"

I was about to walk out when Colonel May stopped me. As the rest of the
Brigade Staff filed out of the small room, Fierro, Major Moore and Colonel
May stayed behind.

"Jake I know how hard this was on you son. You fought so hard for
Loraine. She just doesn't want to be saved by anyone here. Don't beat
yourself up over this. You didn't fail, she did. She slapped away your hand
every time you extended it to her. You're a great leader and you will be
going places still in this Brigade. I am hoping you are studying up to be
in front of my board next year. I need you on Brigade Staff."

Colonel May smiled and shook my hand as he walked out. Major Moore actually
smiled at me and patted me on the back as he walked. All of a sudden
Colonel May stuck his head back in the door.

"Also Jake I took care of the payment to Tec High. It won't happen
again. Thank you for going down and smoothing things over with the teacher
down there. When I took him the payment, he said good things about
you. Thank you Jake for your leadership in this area."

He walked out leaving Fierro and I in the room. We didn't even say one
thing about the board or ROTC. He saw me running out on the track last
night. He was out walking his dog when he spotted me still on the track. We
laughed about how late I had been running.

(JOEY'S POINT OF VIEW)

I needed to speak with Jake. I knew he was hurting over Andy not only
moving out, but I found out he actually told Jake he was no longer wanted
at the wedding. I also found out that Loraine reported Jake to Major Moore
about over riding the board. Jake was just not having a good couple of
days.

It was quiet when I walked into the ROTC building looking for
Jake. Everyone was just sitting at their desks looking at the door of the
small classroom. I looked around and saw my first sergeant sitting there. I
walked up to him to see what was going on.

"You don't know what is going on behind that closed door? Jake requested a
demotion board for our XO. It was about time someone had the balls to put
her in her place. She thinks she runs everything."

Right then the door opened. The Brigade Staff walked out followed by
Loraine. I looked at her shoulders and saw that she had been demoted to
captain. I wondered if she was still our XO. You can still be XO of a
battalion at the rank of captain.

Jake finally walked out laughing with Fierro. I walked over to see what
they were laughing about. When Jake saw me heading over to him, his eyes
just lit up. His smile actually got even bigger. I knew whatever was
bothering him, he was seeing his way through it.

"Hey Jake, hey Fierro, what's so funny?"

Fierro got close to me and whispered in my ear. "You need to get your
boyfriend to stop running at night with no lights on the track Joey!"

I just looked at him and smiled. Fierro knows that Jake and I are together
and it doesn't bother him! That was so damn cool! I shook my head in the
positive to agree with what Fierro said. We walked over to the cafeteria to
grab some breakfast.

Fierro sat with our group of friends. He fit in as if he had been part of
our group from the beginning. We talked about me holding the new school
record in rushing yards, Jake holding the district and state record in two
events in track. I didn't know he kept up with us on the other teams.

Jake was back to his normal self. He joked around with us just like he
always did. When the bell rang for first period, Jake was once again joking
all the way to the lockers. I loved having my Jake back, this happy version
of Jake even more. Jake always has a tendency to think too much about
everything in his life. I wish he would stop doing that.

During lunch Jake did something I didn't even think he had the balls to
do. I need to set up the stage for you to understand how Jake was able to
get away with this.

Our cafeteria is on the bottom floor. It is old and it is small. When this
school was built, it was never to designed to hold over two thousand
students like it does today. Once you get through the lunch line you pretty
much walk out to a huge room full of tables.

We sat at a table next to the wall. Jake and I sit on the same side of the
table. Jake is the one against the wall. The rest of us sit on either side
of the table. We are a big enough group that we take up an entire table to
ourselves.

Now with that said, and you know the scenery, let me tell you about what
Jake was doing to me. It started out as normal as could be.

Jake placed his hand on my leg while we ate. He had done that so many times
that I don't even flinch anymore when he does it now. Jake just rubbed my
knee as we sat there talking with the guys. Then he started moving his hand
up my leg until it got to my thigh.

I looked over at Jake and he has this big grin on his face. I couldn't help
myself and I smiled back at him. I figured that told him I was cool with
what he was doing. So he started rubbing my thigh now. I can tell you it
was making me so horny; I couldn't even understand what we were talking
about.

Jake then moved his hand even further up my leg until it rested right on my
dick. I knew he could feel I was hard as a rock. I was surprised my dick
hadn't ripped through the uniform pants I was wearing.

Jake moved his hand to my zipper and started to pull it down. I looked at
Jake again and he was just looking straight at Tom while he was talking;
still with the big grin on his face though! If Jake didn't get rid of the
grin, the guys would know that there was something going on with us. Tom
wasn't saying anything funny at all.

The next thing I felt was Jake putting his hands through my zipper and into
my underwear. He started going up and down my dick. Which made me jerk
forward, which then moved the table and caused everyone to look at Jake and
me! Jake kept on smiling as the guys looked at us.

Tom went back to what he was talking about which made Jake do it more. I
knew if Jake didn't stop what he is doing I was going to cum all over my
uniform. How could I explain that in class today?

So I grabbed a whole bunch of napkins from everyone's tray. Once again that
made everyone look at Jake and me! They had to know by now there was
something funky going on down here with Jake and me. This time they stared
at us longer than the last time. Still they returned to what they were
talking about.

I took all the napkins and placed them all around my uniform. It made Jake
smile even more when I did that. He pulled my dick out of my underwear and
pants through the fly. All I knew then was Jake was now jerking me off
under the table while we ate, with all of our friends sitting there. What
in the world had gotten into Jake today?

I leaned over to Jake and whispered in his ear.

"Babe if you don't stop playing with your toy while you are eating. You
will miss out on the cream surprise it has for you!"

"Trust me handsome I have no plans to miss out of my creamy surprise!"

I started thinking about how was Jake going to get the cum I was about to
shoot? Then my answer was given. He dropped his silver wear on the
floor. No one really looked when that happened. So Jake went under the
table pretending to get his fork and spoon. Instead he wanted to get his
mouth on my hot dog for lunch.

Man when I felt his moist lips take my dick in his mouth. I could barely
sit there without screaming out in satisfaction. Jake was going at it down
under the table. I hit the table with my knees a couple of time that made
those sitting near me look over.

Then it happened, I just shot, and shot, and shot, into Jakes mouth. I
couldn't remember the last time I shot that much. I don't know if it was
because we were doing it here with all these people around that made me
shoot this much, But I knew this, I was shooting load after load into Jakes
mouth.

As I climaxed I started hitting the table. I couldn't help it! That got the
guys attention and this time they wanted to know what was up. Tom and David
both seem to get some sense at the same time because both of them looked
under the table!

Once they came up, they just started laughing. That caused everyone else to
look under the table. They were laughing too when they came up.

Jake cleaned my dick off with the napkins I had put under there and put it
away. Once he zipped me up he came from under the table with all eyes on
him. He just smiled as he adjusted himself on the bench. The he said
something that just made all of us crack up in laughter.

"I wanted a hot dog for lunch, not this. My Joey here gives me a special
creamed filled hotdog whenever I want one!"

We all just sat there laughing at what Jake had said. I felt relieved to
say the least. Not only did I get a blowjob, but also Jake was in a playful
mood again.

Jake and I had to leave the fun because of the officers meeting. Everyone
teased us as we left the table. At the same time they looked at my crotch
and, I figured, to see if I was still hard or zipped up.

We dumped our trash and made our way to the ROTC building. Jake smiled all
the way over there. Even when he saw Loraine, his smile didn't go away. By
Jake smiling the way he was, it made me smile as well.

(JACOB'S POINT OF VIEW)

I honestly don't know what had come over me today. After the morning events
I felt better than I had in quite a while. Then seeing Joey in the uniform,
well just let me say, he is a hot one. I would have tackled him in the
middle of the large classroom and ripped his clothes off if I wouldn't have
gotten in trouble.

During lunch, as I sat by Joey and he smelled so damn good, on top of
looking good; I just couldn't hold back on what I did. I wanted him so bad
and I just went for it.

Now I still feel so horny even after what I had done at lunch. After the
inspection Joey and I excused us from the class while Sergeant Haney was
talking to them. I told Joey to go with me to the restroom.

The minute we closed the door to the restroom, I couldn't keep my hands off
of him. I grabbed a hold of his shirt and unbuttoned as quickly as I
could. As I started kissing Joey all the way down his body he just moaned.

"Jake what has gotten into you today? Man this feels so damn good!"

I just kept playing with his nipples with my tongue. Just as I was about to
move further down his belly. Joey pulled me up and started kissing me on my
lips. Then he just pushed me against the wall of the toilet.

Joey didn't even bother with my shirt. He went straight to belt and undid
it. Unbutton my pants at the same time pulling them down to my ankle. Joey
had my dick out before I could even take it in that I got Joey into it.

My dick was already hard as a rock since lunch. So I know it isn't going to
take long to get me to my climax. I am very surprised my pre-cum didn't
leak through my uniform pants.

The roles got reversed and I started moaning like crazy. Joey is just
playing around the head of my dick, making crazy. I want him to go down on
me, but just won't. He knows just how to get me clawing at the walls when
he makes love to me.

Just when I was about to beg Joey to let me cum, he took my dick all the
way in. That was all it took.

"Damn Joey I am going to cum! Man I am cumming!"

I started to shoot cum down Joey's throat, one shot after the other. I
don't know how many times I shot, but I knew it was a lot. I tried to catch
my breath as I slid down the dirty wall of the restroom.

Joey just sat down next to me licking his lips. I looked down at his lap
and saw his dick was still hard. I was about to go down on Joey and help
him out when he stopped me.

"Jake I needed my milk shake for the day. You already had yours. If you are
good I will give you seconds tonight in bed. Let's be fair to one another!"

I couldn't help but crack a smile. We rested on the floor for a few more
minutes. We knew we had to get up to clean ourselves off before we were
missed. Just as we finished up at the sink, there was someone at the door
trying to get in. I looked over Joey as he looked over me to ensure we were
straight. Once both of us were sure, we opened the door and walked out of
the restroom.

The rest of the day went by fast. Although today was uniform day, I decided
to go to track practice. When I walked in the team and Coach were surprised
to be seeing me. I just walked to my locker to change. I was lucky that I
kept two sets of practice shorts in my locker. I forgot to bring the ones I
wore home yesterday.

As always we ran the track to warm up! Then we divided into the races we
run during our tournaments. I actually took it easy and that angered Coach.

"If you are going to come out here and practice, you will give one hundred
and ten percent when you do, Jake! None of this half ass taking it easy
crap you are trying to get away with."

I knew Coach wasn't happy at all.  It was not only clear to me, but to
anyone in ear shot of his yelling. By the time Coach blew his whistle, I
had gotten into practice. Coach on the other hand didn't think so. He made
me stay afterward running the track to make up for my lack of running
during practice. That was how the Coach put it.

Although I was still sore from the entire running I had done yesterday, I
had no choice but to do the running coach requested. I just jogged around
the track to chew up the clock. Until Coach came out and pulled the runners
in; we couldn't stop running.

The funny thing about this evening was that my head was clear. I didn't
have one thing on my mind to think about. Yeah there were still a lot of
problems in my life that were still not resolved, but I couldn't solve them
by running around this track.  Those problems can only be solved in
time. For now I was thankful for what I have that is working in my life.

I looked down at my watch to see the time. It was almost seven and still no
Coach. I wondered if the guy forgot I was out here today running. If he
hadn't, this was too much of a punishment for not running at a hundred
percent during practice.

I decided to call it quits for the night. If I got into trouble, so be
it. I `walked off' the run before I started to head over to the locker
room. When I got to the door, the damn thing was locked. I started kicking
the damn thing.

Now I was pissed off! How could a teacher forget they have a student out on
their field running? When I see Coach tomorrow he will be lucky if don't
quit the damn team! This was not the way to coach a team.

I decided to head home. There was nothing I could do for now. I would pick
up my uniform in the morning and run it to the cleaners. Screw morning
practice since the coach screwed me here.

I started walking to the student parking lot not paying attention to my
surroundings. I didn't hear some one calling my name. I turned around and
saw it was the janitor waving me over to the locker room.

The janitor actually heard me banging on the door. He let me in to get my
uniform. To give the poor guy a break I didn't take a shower or change. I
knew he probably had a family to get home to. I didn't want to be the cause
of him losing any time with his family. I grabbed my stuff, thanked the
janitor, and headed out.

As I walked out the wind took my hat. I went running after it all over the
entire track. I finally stomped on it to keep the wind from blowing it
around. I picked up my hat and then headed back across the track to the
student parking lot.

I was in my own little world! I didn't hear the footsteps behind me. I felt
someone tap me on the shoulder. At first I thought it was the janitor
again. But when I turned around I didn't recognize the four kids standing
there. I just looked at them!

"Yes can I help you guys?"

"Are you Jacob Hernandez, the younger brother to Andy Hernandez?"

I just looked at the guy that was speaking. I didn't know who in the hell
he was. Also why he needed to know who I was? I just turned around to walk
away. The same guy tapped me once again on my shoulder. I was going to just
walk away, but I didn't want to be rude to them. So I turned around once
again.

"Hey guys I don't know who you are or what you want. Just please let me
be!"

"Are you the guy we are looking for?"

"Look if you know who I am, you don't need to ask who I am! So once again I
don't know you, so please leave me alone!"

"You surely sound like the kid we are looking for. I am Hector Nunez,
Normal's brother. Andy's best friend and best man at his wedding with my
sister! I need to clear some things up with you. Did you call my sister a
witch?"

"Excuse me! I don't know what the hell you are saying. I don't know you!"

Damn it I need to be more careful in the future when I call anyone a
witch. More so when there is a brother out there! Brothers always want to
redeem their sisters honor, even if the honor was destroyed by themselves,
not the one that threw out a slur!

"Look I know you are Jake. I have seen pictures of you with Andy. So let's
cut the bull here. We need to settle this right here and right now."

"Look Hector I don't know what you think you is going to be resolved here
by hunting me down. Whatever went on between me and your sister was settled
by my brother telling me I am no longer welcome at his wedding."

"No, that may be the way your brother is going to handle it with you. I
still have to deal with you calling my sister a witch. Plus you yelling at
her the way you did. Who in the hell do you think you are? My sister is
right about gays! All of you think you get anything you want. Well I am
here to tell you that it is not so."

"Hector I hear you and I will talk with your sister when I have a chance."

"You think you're smarter than me don't you? You stand there with your smug
look on your face. Fancy way of talking! Why don't I just knock that smug
look right off of your ugly ass face?"

"Look Hector there is no need for this. This can be resolved by me just
going to your sister to talk it out with her."

"I don't want you near my sister again. You hurt her so bad with what you
told her. She came home that night crying about what you had done to
her. No Jake I will take you down right here and right now."

I didn't even get another chance to speak. Hector moved so quick, I didn't
see the first punch thrown. It hit me right on the jaw throwing me back on
my ass. I dropped everything I had in my hands on the ground.

I got up as quickly as I could. I didn't want Hector on top of me before I
have a chance to defend myself. Where Hector actually connected was
stinging really bad. I just kept telling myself to ignore it and defend
myself.

Hector came at me like a big-assed elephant. This guy stands maybe five
six, but he is a husky son-of-a-bitch. Just as he threw his next punch, I
dodged it. At the same time I threw my own punch and connected. The punch I
connected with threw Hector back.

He looked at me kind of stunned. He came right back at me though. Each of
us was throwing punches. Some hitting some not on both sides! All I knew at
this point was that I was hurting with every punch Hector was landing. I
could only hope he was hurting as well.

I knew I had him because his punches started getting less and less. But
Hector was not going to go down to a fag as he said. He called out to his
friends that came with him. Before I knew it, all four of them were
throwing punches at me. I knew I couldn't hold up to this kind of fight any
longer.

I hit the ground with Hector and his friends still hitting me. Before I
knew it, they actually started kicking me all over the place. I knew I had
lost this fight. All I could do was protect whatever part of my body I
could.

So I just covered my face as these guys went on kicking me over and over
again. One, or maybe two of them, actually started punching me as the
others kept on kicking me. I started to black out. I tried to force myself
to stay awake as the kicks kept coming.

They started yelling slur words at me as they kept kicking me. Through
their yelling I heard several of my ribs actually break as one of their
feet connected. I started gasping for air and now begging for them to
stop. I was hurting all over, having problems breathing with these guys
kicking me.

Still through my pleas for them to stop, they didn't. They just kept
kicking and punching me. I felt a sharp pain coming from my leg when
something actually got dropped on it. I didn't want to curl in a ball
because of my spine. I didn't want them to actually finish off the damage
to it.

Just as I started to give up, and blacking out, they stopped! I didn't
understand what Hector said, but he spit on me as he left. I just lay there
on the ground in pain going in and out of consciousness.  I knew I needed
to get out of there before they came back.

I crawled to my stuff and grabbed it. Some how I got up from the
ground. Just as I put all my weight on my legs, that sharp pain in my leg
shot all the way up my body causing me to lose balance. I fell face first
into the grassy field.

The last thing I saw before I hit the ground was the green grass coming
towards my face. Then I was out!


TO BE CONTINUED...


{You know Jake needs to learn to keep his mouth shut. He stood up to Andy's
finance and he lost so much in return. It is not worth the loss he
received. From his brother disinviting him from the wedding and being best
man. All the way to getting his butt kicked by Normal's brother. Let's hope
Jake is fine and will walk off that field on his own steam. We don't need
to him injured again. This poor guy has gone through so much already in his
short life span. Will Andy find out what Normal's brother did to Jake? If
so, will this be enough for him to put his foot down with Normal? Women are
the hardest species to read. Sorry young ladies that are reading the
story. But every guy I have met can never figure out what their wives or
girlfriends mean when they tell them something. It looks like David is
getting a lot better. Do you think David had that chat with Tom about going
out and having sex with another? If he did, what did Tom say to David on
that? Is Jake's mom gone or just getting her strength back? There are so
many open plots from Joey's mom getting the new house, to the pending
charges that might be filed against Joey's mom for the murder of his
dad. Self defense but it is how the law sees it. So many twist and turns in
this story, we don't know if we are coming or going anymore! Stick around
there is a so much to answer in the chapters to come. Stick around and keep
reading the future chapters, and enjoy! Please email me and let me know how
I am doing at jacobmillertex@aol.com, Thanks!}

EDITOR'S CORNER:

Wow, Jake stands up for himself and the relationship with his brother in
his own home and then gets his ass kicked. I sure hope Andy sees the light
and realizes that there are women out there with open minds and hearts.
What does Normal want from Andy anyway? He sure doesn't bring a lot to the
table! I can't see Normal sitting home while Andy is doing his duty in the
Army!

I'm hoping David continues to heal emotionally and that he and Tom give us
some "entertainment" in the next chapter or two!  What about Jake's naughty
<and risky> behavior in the cafeteria? That boy has a BIG brass pair!

Jake's mom is licking her wounds. She'll stick her oar in the pot and stir
it up again. I have faith! Those that cause trouble for others, be they
male or female are the type that never gives up trying to prove their
points.

Until next time, be well and love well.

"Daddy" Rick
