All characters names have been changed and the situations are for creative purposes only. Some sexual acts may occur, so do not be shocked. This story is now copyright 2002 by Synergy/Trancemonster. The whole purpose for the new name Synergy, which is also my pen name, is that it stands for creating illusions. I want to create a comfort zone for those who feel ashamed of who they really are. Being gay is not a disease, it's a great gift that we should all cherish. If you copy the story or would like to send any comments concerning the series, please contact me at corey1982_2000@yahoo.com or synergyoflight@yahoo.com The Many Faces Of Samuel Chapter Six "River of Tears" The look on Randy's face seemed somewhat neutral at the moment. We all looked from one to another wondering what to say. I stood to try and console Randy, but he pushed me back. Tears were streaming down his face at that moment. His breathing became heavy and then he said his first words of fury. "HOW...hmmm.....How could you do this to me?! HUH?!" "It's not what you think it is Randy!.....I swear....I" "No No NO! I don't want to fucking listen to a word you have to say SAM! GOD!" With that Randy went running off in a huge rage. All I could do was look Seth, then back at Randy running away. Seth put his hand on my shoulder and said that he would call me tonight; but I was in such a state of shock. I never moved an inch; just standing in the same spot watching the steps Randy left as he ran away. It became dark, so I went on my way home crying aswell. **************************************************************************** Darkness fell upon my room as I stared out of the window, with tears falling like a waterfall. It was clear and the stars toke the sky as it's prisoner. When I was younger I would make many wishes upon those diamonds in the sky. One wish was to bring my father back and then everything would be back to the way it was. Another wish was to find the true love of my life at a young age. To share experiences together and grow old with great wisdom. Alas, things are not always as easy as it may seem; and my life is yet again far from a fairy tale. In my deep train of thought, I heard a knock at my door. It was no one more than my mother, who seemed concerned. For a moment she just stood at the slighty ajared door, staring at her once so happy little boy. She walked slowly to the side of my bed and stared once more. She finally spoke. "Samuel.....Babe, what's wrong? Why are you so sad?" I turned to face her only to cry more, but I finally decided to let all of the secrets go. She deserved to know more than anyone in this cruel world. "Mom?" "Yes Sam...You can tell me....please let me in" "Would you hate me if I was....was........" More tears. "If you was what sweetie? Come on now, this is me your'e talking to." "If I was......gay?" Her facial expression at that moment became neutral, not knowing what to feel. After a few seconds, mom's face flushed with great happiness. I then forgot about my sadness and tried to remember if I asked the right question. She looked at my face and started laughing pulling me into a warm embrace. I still wondered if I had asked the right question, because she was way too happy about this one. "Samuel...I know for quite some time now. I was just waiting on you to tell me, but I thought maybe I was going about this all wrong." "You knew?! How?" "The way you and Randall look at each other when one is around. The way you two are when one is not. The way...*SNIFF*...Me and your father were when we were younger..." "Aww mom...he hates me!!....." "Who? Randall?...Why do you say that?......." "I mean we started dating a couple of months ago and well......Another guy, well friend...He liked me too and I didn't know he did until today." "You mean Seth right?" "Yes, but at the pier he kissed me and Randy saw it......." More tears "Awwww, honey have you tried to call Ran......." The phone rings. Mrs. York told Samuel she would be right back and went to answer the phone. Samuel felt somewhat relieved about coming out to his mom. What miffed him is that she knew the whole time and never even bothered asking him about it. Then it all came to together to him; the jokes about Randall being his boyfriend. He then wondered if Jess knew herself and how women seem to know everything. His mom returned to his room with a look of shock upon her. "Mom? Who was it?" "Umm Samuel.....get dressed....We have to go to the hospital." "Hospital? What for? Did I shock you that bad?" "No time for jokes Sammy...Randall has just been hit by a car." "What?" A then fainted. **************************************************************************** At the hopital, we waited in a cramped room along with his parents. As we got there, he was just being taken into surgery. Of course, the cause of mishap was questioned. Randy had wondered off into the street right before the car had hit him. "It was like he was in some sort of trance...some state of nowhere..I mean, he was almost home...only two house away" Randy's mother burst into tears. Just then, Jess came through the entrance doors of the waiting room. "Omigod....I just found out about it.....I was on the phone with Seth when mom told me the ambulance outside had Randy in it...Is he okay?" "We don't know yet sweetie....they toke him into surgery minutes ago.." said Mrs. York I had just caught onto what Jess had said and asked if we could be alone to talk. She looked at me weirdly, but agreed to talk in the corner lobby. "So Sammy, what is up?" "You were on the phone with Seth?" "Yeah....why? Oh.....I see....." " What?!" "Seth told me everything about you guys." "YOU GUYS?!" " Meaning you, him, and Randy being gay...I'm totally kewl with it...I mean why didn't you tell me you big spaz?!" "I was afraid okay.....Mom knows about me as of tonight....Did Seth tell you about everything?" "Umm just the gay part why?" "Seth...kissed me at the pier today and Randy saw it." Her eyes widened, "Omigod!.....I wonder why he never mentioned it....He was making a play for you the whole time! He..." "He didn't know about me and Randy......" "Hey, I know this is hard for you guys now....And don't worry....I'm still your best friend for life.." "Thanx Jess.....Hey we better head back into the waiting room...." *************************************************************************** After two hours of waiting patiently, the doctor came into the room to tell us of Randy's fate. For a moment, he talked with Randy's parents and then the three of them looked at me. The doctor then came towards my way, creating knots in my stomach. "Ummmmm....Is your name Samuel?" "Yes Sir...is he okay?" "The surgery was perfect, we just moved him into recovery. The first words out of his mouth was your name. I think he is waiting for you." With that he shown me to Randy's room and patted me on the back on his way back to the ER. I opened the door and there laid the star I wished upon many, many years ago. His eyes were weak, but still he looked more beautiful than ever. The closer I got to his bed, the more I felt like crying. I did not know what to say to him in this state. Finally, we were side by side staring into each other's eyes. Randy then grabbed my hand and spoke "Why don't you love me?" **************************************************************************** Well Chapter Six was on a more serious note...As for me not posting in awhile, I'm deeply sorry...My life has not been the same for quite some time now...But I'm soo dedicated to my love, which is this story....I hope you enjoyed this chapter and don't worry Chapter Seven is in the works....If you have any questions or comments just email me at corey1982_2000@yahoo.com or synergyoflight@yahoo.com Take Care and Be Proud Of Who You Are!
