   Well, I don't know what to say.  I'm so sorry to
have kept you all waiting so long for this conclusion.
 A lot of stuff has happened lately in my life.  So
for now this will be the final installment for a
while.  Thank you all so much for reading and for
waiting patiently.  I just hope that you enjoy!
Thanks again SO very much!

Here's the final installment titled "Is It The End?"

"IS IT THE END?"

Randal and Stanley woke up in the morning together.

"You know, helping Marcus move in yesturday kinda made
me want to do some more unpacking," Randal said.

"What do you mean?" Stanley asked.

"What do you say we move you in here?" Randal asked.

Stanley went quiet for a moment before answering.

"Are you serious?" Stanley asked.

"Yea, I think it would be great," Randal replied.
"Think of how great it is waking up with each other.
We can do this every morning.  What do you say?"

Stanley leaned in and kissed Randal happily.

"Yes!" Stanley answered.  "It sounds perfect."

The two lied holding each other.

"I love you," Randal said.

"I love you too," Stanley replied.

"I wish that everyone can be as happy as I am right
now," Randal said.

Meanwhile, at Kyle's place the two were sitting on his
bed fearing the worst as Brett paced back and forth in
front of them.

"Why are you doing this?" David asked holding Kyle
tightly in an effort to give Kyle some form of
protection and comfort.

"Why?!" Brett shouted angrily. "Why do you think?"

"Brett, I told you, I'm sorry for what happened,"
David pleaded, "I really wish I didn't hurt you the
way I did, but I love Kyle.  I can't help that."

"Do you know how much I invested in our relationship?"
Brett asked, "I put everything I had into us, I did
everything to try and be a good boyfriend, so why did
I get screwed in the end?"

"Brett," Kyle began, but Brett quickly shoved the gun
against Kyle's chest.

"Don't you say a word you son of a bitch," Brett
growled angrily, "Or I'll kill you right now."

"What do you want?" David asked.

"I want Kyle gone and I want you and me together,"
Brett said, "But I'm not going to get that, so instead
I think I'll settle for the idea of one of you living
life with out the other."

"So what are you going to do?" David asked.

"Kill one of you," Brett replied simply.

    Meanwhile, Jake finished checking his bags in at
the airport and headed off to catch his flight.  As he
walked towards the gate he thought about Tyler and
everything the two of them had.  He wished desperately
that things would have worked out between them, and he
wished that he didn't hurt Tyler the way he did, but
it's too late now.  Jake then reached his gate and sat
down to await for them to start loading the passengers
into the flight.

    Tyler laid in bed not having slept a wink.  The
whole night all he thought about was Jake, he was so
confused.  Was he still feeling anger towards Jake or
is it just his pride that's making him feel the way
he's feeling?  He loved Tyler, shouldn't it be that
simple?  Is love really enough?  Only one way for him
to find out.  Tyler looked over at the clock and saw
that maybe there was still a chance he could catch
Jake at the airport.  He hurried and got up and got
ready and then rushed out the door to head for the
airport.

    Over at Randal's place, him and Stanley were
getting dressed and talking about the new step in
their relationship they're taking.

"I still can't believe we're moving in together,"
Stanley said happily.

"I know, me either, I can't stop thinking about it,"
Randal replied.  "Hey, do you want to meet the guys
for breakfast and tell them the news?"

"Yea, let's go!" Stanley said excitedly.

Randal got on the phone and called Kyle's place.

At Kyle's place the three of them tensed as they heard
the phone ring.

"Don't even think of answering that," Brett said
threateningly.

****Randal's Place****

Randal hung up the phone when Kyle's voice mail came
on.  He then called Tyler, but he got nothing there
either.

"Geez, Kyle and Tyler must not be home," Randal said.
"Hopefully Marcus didn't leave for work yet."

****Marcus' House****

Marcus was getting ready to leave when his phone rang.

"Hello?" Marcus asked answering.

"Hey Marcus, it's Randal."

"Hey Randal, what's up?" Marcus asked.

"I was just wondering if you wanted to meet Stan and
me for breakfast," Randal replied.

"Oh, sorry Randal I'm actually just leaving now,"
Marcus said.

"You going to work?" Randal asked.

"No, actually I'm headed to prison," Marcus replied.

"What?  What are you talking about?" Randal asked
confused.

"I'm going to go visit Thomas," Marcus answered.

"You are?" Randal asked concerned, "Are you sure
you're ready?"

"Yea, I actually think it's really important I do
this," Marcus replied. "I can't go forward completely
if I don't get closure."

Randal sighed then answered, "Just be careful okay?"

"Don't worry, he can't hurt me," Marcus replied.

"I'm not talking about physically, I'm talking about
emotionally, I want you to be careful that you don't
get emotionally hurt at all by anything Thomas might
say to you," Randal said.

"Okay, I'll be careful," Marcus said.

"All right, I'll talk to you later then okay?  Call me
when you're done seeing him," Randal said.

"I will, thanks," Marcus replied.  He then hung up and
headed out for what might be a new beginning of his
life.

On the road Tyler was stuck in traffic trying to hurry
and get to the airport in time.  He needed to get
their as soon as possible since he didn't know what
flight number Jake had or what exact time he was
leaving.  It then hit him to try and call Jake's cell.
 He got out his cell phone and dialed Jake's number,
but the call went straight to Jake's voicemail.

"Dammit, he must have turned his phone off," Tyler
mumbled to himself and tried to weave through some
cars to get by.

Meanwhile at the airport the loading for Jake's plane
had begun and Jake was standing in line ready to
board.

****Kyle's Place****

Brett was still pacing the room in front of David and
Kyle.  Brett had clearly lost it and was not the same
person that David thought he knew.

"What happened to you?" David asked concerned.

"You want to know what happened?" Brett asked
sarcastically, "Fine, I'll tell you.  Try living a
life of rejection!  I was put up for adoption when I
was born, my parents didn't want me.  My first crush
humiliated me in high school by telling everyone I was
gay, my adoptive parents resent me for being gay, my
first boyfriend left me for someone else, my second
boyfriend cheated on me, and then you come along and
only get with me because you couldn't be with Kyle and
once you realized you could, you drop me like I mean
nothing!"

"I'm so sorry," David said genuinely.

"Well, it's too late for apologies because I'm not
going to take the rejection anymore, for once in my
life I'm not going to let myself get kicked around.
Now it's my turn to do the hurt someone and not let
someone hurt me!" Brett said. "So get this David, I'm
going to make you feel everything I felt all those
times I got rejected, I'm going to make you feel alone
and the best way to do that is to get rid of Kyle."

"I'm not going to let you hurt Kyle," David said
standing in front of Kyle.

"You won't have much of a choice," Brett said and
quickly punched David knocking him out.

Kyle rushed to David's side to make sure he was okay.

"Don't do this Brett, you have a choice, you can leave
now and we won't call the police or anything or you
can go ahead and kill me and spend the rest of your
life in jail because you'll never get away with this,"
Kyle said.

"You don't think I've thought this through?" Brett
asked insulted, "Look at what I have here, David
knocked out on the ground and once I kill you all I
have to do is wipe my prints from the gun, slip it in
David's hand and just leave.  It would be the perfect
set up, I'll make an anonymous call to the police and
they'll rush over and find you dead and David knocked
out.  They'll see no signs of break in, they'll just
simply think that the two of you had a fight, there
was a struggle, David shot you right as you were about
to attack him causing him to get knocked out.  I'll be
long gone and there is no way it can be traced to me.
David will live behind bars, you'll be dead, and I'll
be happy."

"You're sick," Kyle simply said glaring at Brett.

"Thank you," Brett replied not caring what Kyle
thought of him.  Brett then went to Kyle's phone and
cut the wire. "Just in case you try and get any ideas,
you won't be able to call anyone."

Kyle then quickly grabbed a vase and threw it at Brett
knocking him out.  Kyle then rushed and grabbed David
and started dragging him out of the apartment.

Meanwhile,  Marcus arrived at the state prison and was
waiting in the visiting area sitting at a booth where
there would be nothing but a window separating him
from Thomas.  Then Marcus looked up and saw an officer
walking Thomas towards him and he sat down and looked
at Marcus intensely.  They both then picked up the
phone to talk.

"Hi Thomas," Marcus said trying to stay calm.

"Hello Lover," Thomas replied sinisterly.

Over at the airport Jake was seated in the plane and
the last of the passengers were getting loaded.  Back
inside the airport Tyler came rushing in and headed
towards the security check center before getting
stopped by an airport employee.

"Ticket please," The man requested.

"I don't have one," Tyler replied.

"Only ticket passengers go past here."

Tyler quickly went to the check-in area and bought the
cheapest plane ticket he could get and hurried back
over and rushed to try and find Jake.

Tyler ran up and down the airport gates looking for
Jake, he then saw a flight that was headed to New
York.  He hurried and went to one of the workers to
try and get some information.

"Is this the only flight to New York?" Tyler asked.

"Only one for the next couple of hours."

"Can I just see if my friend is on board?" Tyler
asked.

"Do you have a ticket for this flight?"

"No I don't."

"Then I'm sorry, but you can not go in there," the
worker replied.

"But I need to catch him, if not I may not see him
again." Tyler pleaded.

"I'm sorry, but like I said, with out a ticket for
this flight you are not getting in."

"Is there a ticket available?" Tyler asked.

"No, sorry this is a full flight.  And it looks like
they are getting ready to take off."

Tyler looked and saw that they were closing the door
to the plane.

"Jake!" Tyler shouted as loud as he could into the
plane as the door was closing.

In the airplane Jake looked around thinking he heard
someone call out his name, he looked through out first
class and didn't see anyone looking at him or
anything.  He shrugged and then turned around and sat
back down in his seat.

Tyler watched helplessly as he saw the plane moving
and then watched the plane take off and leave.  Tyler
realized that he might never see Jake again.  In
sadness and sorrow Tyler turned slowly and walked
away.

    Randal and Stanley were in their car driving to
get breakfast and both talking about plans they have
for re-decorating their place. They were both very
excited and very much in love.  While they were
driving it began to rain.

"I love you so much," Randal said.

"I love you too," Stanley replied.

"Hope this rain doesn't last too long," Randal said.

"Hey, you should be used to this, I mean you got it
all the time living in Seattle," Stanley said.

"True, but that's why I like living here now, it
hardly ever rains," Randal replied.

"I always like the rain, it's very relaxing," Stanley
said.

"Not when you're driving in it and these people down
here don't know how to drive in weather like this,"
Randal answered.

They stopped at a stop light and they both smiled and
gave each other a kiss.  Then suddenly they heard a
loud honking noise and looked out and saw a big rig
behind them approaching very quickly.

"My brakes are out!" the truck driver shouted.

"Brace yourself!" Randal shouted and the truck slammed
into them causing Randal's car to swerve into the
middle of the intersection.  Then they both watched in
horror as two cars from both directions came
screeching and sliding right into them smashing them
in the middle.

****Kyle's Place****

  Kyle dragged David out of the apartment when he was
quickly pulled from behind and thrown back into the
apartment.

"That was not smart," Brett said standing before him
and rubbing his head.

"Yea but it sure felt good to do it," Kyle spat back.

"Say goodnight," Brett said pointing the gun at Kyle.

"Not yet," Kyle said and quickly got up and knocked
the gun out of Brett's hand and the two started
fighting.  Kyle slammed Brett's head against a wall,
then Brett through Kyle into the glass coffee table
causing it to smash and shatter.  The fall caused Kyle
to pass out from the impact and he laid there helpless
in a pile of glass.  Brett grabbed his gun and was
about to shoot Kyle.

"This isn't fun," Brett said pointing the gun at a
helpless Kyle.  Brett then grabbed some matches set
fire to the curtains in Kyle's apartment.  Brett
smiled as he saw the fire spread. "Much better."

Brett then turned and left the apartment and closed
the door, he then stepped over David's unconscious
body and drove off.
