	This is my first story with chapters that I'll be posting on
Nifty. I've written others but decided to share this one first. Other
stories I have written are Gavin's Got Game, Hayden's Story, Shawn's Turn,
Teddy Bear, and the After Party. You can find the first three here in the
high school section and the latter two in the college section, all under
the gay category. If you have trouble finding them, I am under the Nifty
author section as Aaron Hull so you can also find my stories that
way. Warning: My shorter stories contain sex. If you like this story,

	Being with Mason is definitely the best thing in the world. I love
being in his arms. I love hearing him laugh. I love the way he smells. I
love the way he kisses me. I love everything about him. It's hard to
believe I seriously went forever without this hunk. I have no idea what I
was thinking.

	"Would you be up for meeting my friend Chelsie?" Mason asked me. He
and I were laying in his bed watching TV, I had spent the night with him
for the second night in a row. And unlike last time, I spend a lot of time
with my friends as well. I usually come over to Mason's around eight or so
and we eat, watch TV, play games, and all that other stuff. It's nice being
able to share a bed with him.

	"What?! Right now?! I'm not even dressed! Is she on her way?!" I
was wearing one of his old football jerseys from middle school, it actually
fit me, and my boxers. Mason was shirtless and was in his Perry the
Platypus bed pants; believe it or not we did not have sex last night. We're
just really comfortable with each other.

	Mason laughed. "No. I meant like next weekend. After church she has
to work today."

	"Oh." I calmed down. "You scared me for a second." I rested my head
against his big, warm chest.

	"I'm sorry, babe." Mason said as he wrapped his arms around
me. "You know I love you, right?" Ever since we got back together, Mason
tells me that he loves me almost every five minutes.

	I smile. "No. You've only told me like thirty times this morning."

	"I'm sorry...I'm just...I don't want to lose you again."

	"If you ever lose me, I know you'll come find me. And if you don't
find me I will find myself some cute Italian guy."

	Mason laughed. "I would cry every day if you dated some cute
Italian guy."

	"Well then you better be able to keep up with me."

	"You are so high maintenance."

	"I gotta keep you on your feet, don't I?"

	"Well can't you do that without going other guys. It was hard
enough fighting Trey, Daniel, and Brennan for you."

	"Well they're light-weights compared to the next herd of guys I'm
going to go after."

	Mason rolled his eyes. He then pulled me in closer and rested his
nose against my neck. He lightly kissed it. "You remember how I told you
back when Isabella was accusing me of being the baby's father that the only
person I wanted to be with sexually was you?"

	I moaned. "Yeah. What about it?"

	He kissed my neck again. I began to melt into him. "Well, I just
wanted to let you know that you're still the only guy I want. You're the
only guy I'll ever need. And I think I need you right-"

	There was a knock at the door, it sounded like Garret's
knock. "What is it Garret?" Mason asked, somewhat annoyed.

	"Tony wants to play football but the football is in your room. Can
I come in and get it?"

	"No!" Mason shouted back. "Wait just a second!" He quickly hopped
out of bed and searched for the football, I guess he didn't want his little
brother to see him half naked with his boyfriend in bed.

	Once Mason found it, he cracked the door and handed the ball to
Garret. The next thing I heard from Garret was, "Are you and Spencer having
sex?"

	Mason just blushed and quickly shut the door. I had to fight so
hard to keep myself from laughing. "He's so adorable." I told Mason.

	"If you think he's so adorable then why don't you date him?" Mason
asked as he got back into bed with me.

	"Well before my mom knew you were gay she was hoping Garret would
turn out to be gay so I could date him."

	"Really?" Mason was laughing.

	"Yeah...it was really embarrassing because Macy was right there."

	"If you want him, you can have him. As long as I get to cuddle with
you all night, I'll be happy."

	"What happened to `I'll cry if you go after a cute Italian guy'?"

	"Garret isn't Italian now, is he?" I rolled my eyes. There is
definitely no way I could live without Mason.

	"Whatever. You know you'd be sad if I left you for anyone."

	"Not really. I know that everyone else in the world is no
competition for me because you love me and the connection we have can't be
shared by just anyone."

	"Well I don't know. I would fake the connection with a cute Italian
guys. Especially if he has a six pack."

	"I have a six-pack."

	"But you're not Italian."

	"But I'm cute aren't I?" Mason asked, trying to sound innocent.

	"Well..."

	Mason just smiled and rolled his eyes. "Come on, you want some
breakfast?" He then got back out of bed.

	"I guess. Do you have any shorts I can wear?" I have my own clothes
but I'd rather be decked out in my boyfriend's clothes; broadcast to the
world that I'm his babe.

	Mason smiled and headed towards his drawer. He pulled out an old
pair of shorts, probably from middle school, and tossed them to me. He then
went into his closet and got himself a shirt. Once we were presentable, we
headed downstairs to get something to eat.

	"I think Tony's dad is here, he's a pretty cool guy, I think you'll
like him."

	"I don't want to meet him like this!" I begged Mason. "I don't want
to look like the gay slut that just screwed the star quarterback."

	Mason smiled. "You don't look like a slut. You look like my
boyfriend. Now come on, I'm hungry and I can smell food."

	We entered the kitchen and Mason was right, Tony's dad was sitting
at the island with Mr. and Mrs. Glover. But he wasn't just Tony's dad, he
was mine.

	"Dad?"

	"Spencer?"



-Daniel's perspective-

	It's been tough getting over Spencer and Kasey at the same time,
but it's going better than what I thought. After the break up I was able to
talk to Kurt, and he's changed for the better. He's still the fun loving
brother I couldn't live without, but when it's time to get serious, he
listens to me. I think we're even closer now than we've ever been. He's
told me about him and Spencer and he's apologized for it but I can't get
mad at him. Now that my mind is clear, I can see that Kurt does care about
Spencer and since I am and was in no shape to be that guy for Spencer, Kurt
definitely was.

	"When are you and Macy going to get back together now that Spencer
is out of the way?" Kurt glared at me. "I didn't mean it that way! I meant
that now that Spencer is happy, when are you and Macy going to be happy?"

	Kurt relaxed. "I don't know. She told me she wanted to get back
together over Spring Break."

	"Why didn't you jump at that?!" I was shocked. Macy and Kurt are
meant to be and Kurt basically put her aside.

	"I was still having fun with Spencer at the time. I just haven't
gotten the courage to be like `Hey I'm done fucking Spencer, you wanna get
back together now?' That sounds really douchey."

	I smiled. "Well, we all know you are a douche so that should work
out."

	Kurt rolled his eyes, he truly was bisexual. "You're so funny."

	"Thanks. But seriously, you need to get back with Macy. That's when
you were at your happiest."

	"I know. I just feel like it would be weird to get back with Macy
like this."

	"Well the two of you will get back together eventually. I just know
it."

	Just then my phone rang. It was Brennan. "Hey, are you and Kurt
free? Macy, Emma, and I are bored and we want to go out and do something."

	"Yeah. We have nothing else to do."

	"Who is that?" Kurt asked.

	"It's Brennan. He wants to know if we can hang out."

	"I can't. I have my basketball banquet tonight."

	I sighed, I was really hoping we could hang out. "I don't think we
can hang out, actually." I told Brennan.

	Kurt made a strange face. "You can still go."

	"But your banquet?"

	"You wouldn't have fun. It's either you go hang out with our
friends or you sit and listen to cheerleader gossip from all they guys'
girlfriends."

	"Fine. But you better not use this against me." I then returned to
Brennan. "Well I can go, Kurt has the banquet."

	"Oh okay. I'll be by there in like twenty minutes, okay?"

	"Okay. See ya."

	"See ya."

	I turned to Kurt and he was smiling. "What is it?"

	"Do you like Brennan?"

	I was about to say no, but after a millisecond of thought, I wasn't
sure. "Why do you ask?"

	"So you do!"

	"I never said that!" I blushed.

	"If you really didn't then you would have just said no."

	"He's cute, okay. I've never really thought of him as boyfriend
material."

	"Well you should. Brennan is really cute. You two could talk shit
about Kasey, that would be a good conversation starter."

	"You're acting like this is a date." I said as I got off of Kurt's
bed; after we officially made up we decided that we'd keep the rooming
assignment. Neither of us realized how great it was to have our own
privacy, especially now that we're both single and not getting any.

	"Then why are you getting up?"

	"Because I need to get ready."

	"For your date?"

	I blushed again. "Shut the fuck up." I then turned and left his
room. I could hear him laughing in the background.

	Now that I thought about it, Brennan actually is really cute. He's
also really sweet. Dating him would definitely be a change since both
Hannah and Kasey were more ego-centered and Brennan is more humble. The
only thing all three of them have in common is that they all cheer, maybe
this is a sign that I'm only supposed to go after cheerleaders.



	Twenty minutes later I was in the back seat of Brennan's mom's car
with Brennan, we were on our way to meet up with the girls at the
mall. When we got there, there was no sign of either female. Brennan then
texted Macy to see where they were at.

	"Great." He said with a sigh. "Macy said that Emma and Austin had a
fight and Macy has to be with her.

	"So they're not coming?" At the same time I was happy and
sad. Happy I could spend some time with Brennan and sad that Emma was in
pain.

	"If they do come I'll be surprised. I'll call my mom real quick and
tell her things were cancelled last minute."

	"No!" I shouted too quickly. Brennan looked at me with a weird
look. "I mean, you and I could hang out. We haven't really gotten to know
each other than well and I'd really like to get to know you. To become
better friends. Not to... you know. Are you hungry?" I was so nervous he'd
still want to leave.

	"Yeah." He blushed too. "I guess just you and I could hang out."

	I was more than happy at this point. I was really hoping that
Brennan and I would hit it off. "So, how have you been?"

	"I've been good. Everyone on the cheer team is obsessed with
Isabella's baby bump."

	I laughed. "It's not like no one call it coming. I mean, all whores
get pregnant in high school."

	"Then I should be conceiving anytime soon."

	I laughed. At the same time, though, I was over analyzing his words
and was scared. Was he saying that he was a whore and that he didn't want
anything with me, was he suggesting that he wanted to have sex with me, was
he being completely sarcastic and he never wanted to have sex again...I was
so worried that things wouldn't work out.

	The weirdest part is that before a couple of hours ago, I never
would have thought Brennan was a candidate for a boyfriend. But he's
just...he's actually amazing. I know I don't know him as well as Spencer or
Macy do but both of them are amazing so he has to be something.

	"Are you okay?" He asked me. Brennan had a concerned look.

	"Yeah. I'm fine. Just thinking."

	"Were you thinking about Kasy?"

	I was about to ask who that was, but I stopped myself. "No. I think
I've gotten over him. I can honestly say that he was a great boyfriend but
I know that once a cheater, always a cheater. There is no way I could go
back to him."

	"I wish I had known that when I had dated him." Brennan said. I
could see his concerned look become a depressed look. "I kept taking him
back after each time he cheated on me. But then he finally left me because
he wanted to be with the last person he had cheated on me with."

	It took me a second but I realized that I was the person that Kasey
was wanting to go after. I'm the one who ended their relationship. "I'm so
sorry, Brennan. I had no idea the two of you were dating. I promise I would
have never done anything if I had a clue."

	"It's cool. If I were mad at you I would have told you a long time
ago. I've moved on from him for the most part. And if it weren't for you
I'd still be stuck in that shitty relationship."

	"And I'd be banging Spencer...if I could go back in time you'd hate
me so much."

	This caused the two of us to laugh. "The two of us seem to have a
good amount in coming relationship wise. You've dated Kasey. I've dated
Kasey. You've been into Spencer. I've been into Spencer. I guess we just
don't know where to look."

	"Well, I think I know where to look now." We had just reached the
food court. I was scared to tell Brennan that I was thinking about looking
towards the guy right by my side, but at the same time I so wanted to.

	"And which was is that?"

	"To my left..." I waited for his response.

	He then looked towards the other side of me. "I don't see anything
in that direction."

	I then stuck my hands out to see which one made an `L,' I'm
extremely bad with my lefts and rights. "I mean my right. I think the next
guy I want to be with is to the right."

	Brennan blushed. "I'm pretty sure the next guy I want to be with is
to the left."

	I looked to my left and turned back to him. "I don't see any other
cute guys in that direction so I'm hoping you're talking about me."

	Brennan giggled. He then kissed me on the cheek. I blushed. "You're
so cute."

	"You too." I grabbed his hand.



-Spencer's perspective-

	I turned around and left. I could hear one of the chairs of the
island being scooted back. "Spencer! Wait!"

	I felt a hand grab my shoulder and spin me around. I looked the
person in the eyes and they were the eyes that I hated so much. He had me
by both shoulders. "What do you want?! Let go of me!"

	"I wanna talk to you! Please listen to me!"

	I close my eyes tightly as I began to cry. I then felt his hands
fly off of me. When I opened my eyes again, Mason was standing in front of
me, protecting me. "What the fuck do you want with my boyfriend?"

	My dad was laying on the floor. I'm pretty sure Mason punched him
because he was holding his left eye. "Boyfriend? Spencer are you gay?"

	"What is going on?!" Mason's mom asked frantically as he entered
the living room to see her son guarding me and her friend on the
floor. "Mason what did you do?!"

	"Spencer told him to let go and he didn't. So I made him let go."

	He asked again. "Spencer?! Are you really gay?"

	"Yes! I am!" I shouted at my dad. Mason turned around to look me in
the eyes. I could see the concern in them. I knew he'd protect me no matter
what.

	"Are you Spencer's father?" Mason's dad then asked, he was standing
by my wife.

	"Yes. I am."

	Mason's mom grabbed a candlestick that was sitting on a nearby
table. "Then get the fuck out of my house right now." My dad looked
confused. "Get the fuck out of here, God damnit!"

	He then got up. "What about Tony?"

	"I'll call Natalie and have her pick him up. Now get out of here."

	My dad looked at me once more and I wrapped my arms around Mason
tightly. He looked to the ground with defeat and left. When the door closed
I completely broke down. I was hoping I'd never have to see him again. I
was hoping that he had died. What he had done to my family is unforgivable.

	Mason held me as I stood there and cried on his shoulder. He
eventually led me to the couch and held me as I cried. Mason's parents sat
on the loveseat opposite of the couch. When I finally regained my
composure, I looked to see all three of the Glovers' were concerned.

	"Why did you freak out when you saw your dad?" Mrs. Glover
asked. "I thought you saw him two years ago?" I remembered that my mom had
came up with a lie and told the Glovers that my dad wasn't that bad of a
man. I've tried convincing myself the same thing and I've told all of my
friends different lies, thankfully they never talk about him. Megan does
the same thing. We've all came up with our own stories to suppress what
really happened.

	"Please don't hate my mom, but that was a lie." I could see that
the two adults were hurt, but I could also tell that they weren't furious.

	"Why would she like about your dad?" Mason's dad then asked.

	I didn't want to tell them the truth. I was so scared that my
family would be ostracized and that no one would ever look at us the same
way. The Glovers' though, they've had their own share of problems. And
they're like second parents to me. Hopefully the truth won't change
that. "She didn't lie about him leaving before I hit two. She only lied
about him being in the military and that he found another woman."

	"What really happened?" Mason's mom asked. "You can tell us
anything, Spencer."

	"My dad was molesting Megan." Tears began to build up in my eyes. I
was so scared.

	Mason's mom started to tear up immediately as well. Mason's dad
held her hand, I could see he was shocked too.

	"Megan was only five at the time. She didn't know any better. She
thought all dads were supposed to do that with their daughters. My mom
caught him one day and the two of them got into a fight. Mom was throwing
things at him while he was trying to come up with an excuse for what he was
doing. Nothing he said was acceptable, Mom was done with him. There was no
way he was coming back into that house."

	Mason's mom was crying now, but she was still paying
attention. Mason held on to more more tightly, I could feel his tears drop
onto my ear.

	"She threatened to call the cops. When she tried he suddenly became
mad. He threw her to the ground and ripped the phone out of the wall. He
said if she ever called the police, he was going to kill me and Megan right
there. He then told her that he was leaving and that if he ever found out
that the cops are after him, he'll find us and kill us. After that he did
leave, he grabbed a few things and he was gone. Mom was so scared. She
didn't know what to do about him. She just held me and Megan all night as
we sat there in the middle of the floor. At the time we had no neighbors so
nobody knew what happened. Megan realized that day what he was doing to her
and she once told me that every night she can't get those images out of her
head. The only reason I know all of this is because Megan remembers all of
this so vividly and for the longest of time I was her outlet."

	I began to cry uncontrollably again. I was so scared for the sake
of my family. What would they think of Megan now? Would they think my mom
is a bad mother for not calling the police? She hates herself everyday for
not doing it, she was so scared for us, we were all she had and she knew he
was serious because before that day he had never laid a hand on her.

	"It's okay, babe." Mason whispered into my ear. "Everything will be
okay. I promise that my family will always be here and no matter what you
say to us, you and your family will always be a part of our family."

	I then felt two extra pairs of arms encircle me. Mason's parents
were hugging me too. I felt so loved. I was so scared that they would
reject us, but I was so wrong. "Do you think he's still doing that to
little kids?" Mason's mom asked me.

	"I have no idea." I told her. I honestly didn't I didn't want
anything to do with him. Before today, the only image of my father stuck in
my head is the image of him yelling at us as he left.

	"I know this is a stretch, but maybe if he is and if Tony is a
victim, we could get him locked away forever. Do you think Megan would come
forward about this?"

	I then became scared. This wasn't even my story to tell. Megan
would seriously hate me forever if she found out that I had told the
Glovers' about dad. "She can't know that I told you all. I'll tell my mom
about seeing him and then I'll see what happens then. You do need to check
Tony, though. And if he has any other siblings you need to ask them as
well. Who knows what he's done since he's left."

	"Talk to your mom. Hopefully she'll be okay with us knowing. I need
her to talk to his new wife. She needs to know this and I'm not going to be
the one who tells her."

	"I'll talk to her. Thank you for being so nice."

	"Like I said, Spence." Mason began to say "You're family around
here and we're not going to look at you any differently. Just look at us,
our family isn't perfect either."

	"I love you."

	"I love you too."
