"Reception, Deception"

    After the ceremony the guys all gathered in the
honeymoon sweet that Tyler and Jake got and had food,
champagne, and a cake all set up there.

"You guys did a great job with setting this place up,"
Randal said looking around at the decorations and
food.

"Thank our best men," Tyler said. "They did this all
this morning."

"Well, I did," Kyle said. "David was MIA this
morning."

"Where were you?" Jake asked.

"I was at the beach," David replied.

"He was up all night from writer's block trying to
write his best man speech," Kyle added.

"You get it done?" Stanley asked.

"Yeah," David said quickly. "I need a drink."

David then went over and opened up a bottle of
champagne.

"You guys okay?" Kyle asked Randal and Stanley.

"Us?" Randal asked nervously.

"Yeah," Kyle replied. "You two talk everything out
last night?"

"Um, yeah," Stanley said hesitantly.

"Great," Kyle replied. "Glad you guys are okay.  Had
us worried."

Randal and Stanley just smiled politely, both keeping
to their word and not saying they broke up until after
the wedding.

Marcus went over to David and saw that he was already
on his second glass of champagne.

"You all right?" Marcus asked.

"Yeah why?" David asked in between sips of his drink.

"Because we've been up here a total of one minute and
you're already on your second glass of champagne,"
Marcus noted.

"Just a lot on my mind," David said.

"Want to talk about it?" Marcus asked.

David looked around, saw Kyle talking to Randal and
Stanley, and Tyler and Jake were busy kissing.  He
then looked and saw the unused balcony.

"All right, come with me," David said taking Marcus to
the balcony and closed the door.

"What's up?" Marcus asked.

"I wasn't at the beach last night," David confessed.

"You weren't?" Marcus asked.

"No," David replied. "Truth is, last night is really
blurry, I think I was drugged."

"What?" Marcus asked confused. "How did you get
drugged?"

"I went to this gay bar for a drink because I had
writer's block and I only had one drink," David
replied. "Next thing I realize I'm waking up this
morning....."

"Where did you wake up this morning?" Marcus asked
hesitantly.

"I woke up in some guy's bed at his apartment," David
replied.

"Oh my God," Marcus sighed in disbelief. "Did you two
have sex?"

"I think so," David nodded in shame.

"And you don't remember any of it?" Marcus asked.

"No, that's why I think I was drugged," David replied.

"I guess that makes sense," Marcus said.

"Now I don't know what to do," David said. "I can't
tell Kyle."

"You have to tell Kyle," Marcus said.

"He'll break up with me," David said.

"You didn't sleep with this guy on purpose, if you
were drugged then you had no idea what was going on,"
Marcus reasoned.

"I don't want to hurt him," David said. "Everything is
just starting to go right for him again, he moved back
in with me, you guys just gave him a job.  I don't
want to ruin it all."

"He'll understand," Marcus said.

David turned and looked out at the ocean, overwhelmed
with everything.

"Also," Marcus continued. "You should get tested."

"What?" David asked turning around.

"You don't know what that guy might have," Marcus
replied. "You should get tested to be safe."

"Oh my God," David sighed, "I didn't even think about
that."

Before they could talk anymore Tyler opened the door
to them.

"Hey guys, we're eating," Tyler said.

"All right," Marcus replied. "Come on, let's go back
inside."

Marcus put his arm around David trying his best to
comfort him as they went in.

 "Everything all right?" Kyle asked handing them both
a plate of food.

"Yeah," David said.

"Thanks for the food," Marcus said taking the plate
and heading over to Tyler and Jake.

As they were talking there was a pounding on the door.
 Tyler opened the door and Trevor rushed in.

"Hi," Marcus said surprised.

"Something awful just happened," Trevor said
distressed.

"What's going on?" Marcus asked.

Trevor started tearing up, clearly on the verge of
falling apart.

"Sit down," Marcus said taking Trevor to the couch.
"Talk to me, what happened?"

"I just got a call from Luis," Trevor began.

"Yeah?" Marcus asked.

"Apparently he got a call from the police," Trevor
replied. "I guess he was Miles' 'in case of emergency'
contact."

"Okay," Marcus said not following.

Jake started to panic and looked over at Kyle in
distress.  Kyle quickly went over and put his arm
around Jake to settle him down.

"They found Miles here," Trevor said.

"Here in Hawaii?" Tyler asked.

"Here in this hotel," Trevor replied.  "The cleaning
lady found him in his hotel room...dead."

"Oh my God," Marcus said in disbelief.

"Apparently he over dosed on some sleeping pills,"
Trevor said starting to bawl. "He was one of my best
friends."

"I'm so sorry," Marcus said putting his arms around
Trevor, putting aside their complicated situation.

"The police actually want to talk to you Jake," Trevor
said through the tears.

"What?" Jake asked quickly. "Why?"

"I guess you were the last person on his outgoing call
list," Trevor replied. "They want to know if he said
anything to you."

"Did you know he was here in Hawaii?" Kyle asked
turning the attention away from Jake quickly.

"No," Trevor replied.

"Lets take you back to our room and you can lie down,"
Marcus said.

"So sorry to ruin your day," Trevor said. "I just
couldn't believe it."

"It's okay," Tyler said giving Trevor a hug. "I'm so
sorry for your loss."

Trevor and Marcus headed out of the room as the rest
of the guys all absorbed the information they just
received.

"Wow," Randal said still in shock.

"Come on guys," Jake encouraged. "Let's eat."

"Can I talk to you for a second?" Kyle asked.

"Yeah," Jake replied.  The two then headed out to the
balcony closing the door.

"What are you going to say to the police?" Kyle asked.

"I don't know," Jake replied helpless.

"You going to tell them you know what happened?" Kyle
asked.

"Do you think I should?" Jake asked.

"Yes," Kyle replied. "You have to be honest with them.
 It's not like it was your fault."

"Yeah, but I still let him kill himself," Jake said.
"I knew what he was going to do and I chose to ignore
it.  I might as well have shoved the pills down his
throat."

"No," Kyle replied. "He chose to do that.  Miles was
clearly unstable and you can't let what he did destroy
you."

"Why not?" Jake asked. "He's already destroyed what
was supposed to be the happiest day of my life.  He
might as well destroy the rest of me as well."

"Don't say that," Kyle replied. "You just have to be
honest to the police and this will all blow over."

"No it won't," Jake said. "I know you understand, but
others will still see me as a murderer.  I let him
kill himself."

"You were worried, he kept trying to take you away
from Tyler," Kyle justified.

"You okay babe?" Tyler asked opening the door.

"Fine," Jake replied quickly.

"I'm going to go back inside and let you two talk,"
Kyle said heading in and closing the door.

"What's going on?" Tyler asked. "This about Miles?"

"In a way," Jake replied.

"What's wrong?" Tyler asked.

Jake sighed, not knowing how to even begin telling
Tyler.

"Babe, whatever it is you can tell me," Tyler said
kissing Jake.

"I don't know what you'll think of me after I tell
you," Jake began. "And that's what scares me."

"Just tell me," Tyler said.

Jake took a deep breath, "Okay, well, it started
yesterday.  Remember when I got that letter at the
bar?"

"Yeah," Tyler replied.

"Well, it was from Miles telling me he was in the
lobby," Jake said. "So I went to go tell him to leave
us alone.  But then he grabbed me and took me to his
hotel room and made one last plea to get me back.  I
told him he was pathetic and left."

"All right," Tyler said not sure what this has to do
with Miles' death.

"Then at the club last night I got a call from him, he
told me he took some pills and that if I loved him
then I would rush over and save his life," Jake said.

"Oh my God," Tyler said starting to understand.

"But I didn't," Jake confessed. "I just hung up the
phone and went back inside the club."

Tyler looked at Jake in shock, letting all that
information soak in.

"I just didn't want him to ruin our lives anymore,"
Jake said starting to shake. "I just wanted us to be
happy, I wasn't thinking."

"Come here," Tyler said pulling Jake into a tight
embrace. "It will be okay."

Jake just held tightly to Tyler, not wanting to let go
and not wanting to believe any of this was really
happening.

Back inside Randal, Stanley, David and Kyle were
sitting down.

"Guess you didn't have to spend all night on that best
man speech after all," Kyle said to David.

"I guess not," David replied still not ready to tell
Kyle.

"So is the reception over?" Randal asked.

"I think so," Kyle replied.

"Well, I guess there's no point in hiding it anymore,"
Randal said looking at Stanley.

"We said we'd wait until after this weekend," Stanley
replied.

"Why?" Randal replied. "the wedding is over, it's not
like we can ruin it."

"What are you two talking about?" David asked.

"We broke up," Randal revealed.

"What?" Kyle asked sadly.

"Yeah," Stanley confirmed.

"But you two just said earlier that things were fine,"
Kyle said.

"Yeah, sorry about that," Randal said. "We just didn't
want to ruin Tyler and Jake's big day."

"You two can't break up," Kyle said. "You two love
each other."

"Sometimes," Stanley began, "Love just isn't enough."

Stanley then got up and headed to the door.

"I'm going to go back to the room," Stanley said.
"I'll see you guys later."

Stanley then headed out leaving David and Kyle looking
at Randal in disbelief.

"Nothing seems to be going right," Kyle said. "Miles
is dead and ruined Tyler and Jake's day, Trevor and
Marcus are in a troubled stage, Randal and Stan broke
up.  What's going on?"

"I don't know," Randal replied.

"Why did you two break up?" David asked.

"I don't want to talk about it," Randal said getting
up. "I'm going to go for a walk."

Randal then walked out the door and headed for the
beach.

David and Kyle went and started cleaning up the food
that was out and put the wedding cake back in the box.

"This day did not go the way it was supposed to," Kyle
commented. "I feel so bad for Tyler and Jake.  They
were so excited for today."

"I know," David replied.

"So how are you doing?" Kyle asked. "You seem a little
off today."

"Me?" David asked.

"Yeah," Kyle replied. "Everything all right?"

"Actually, no," David said.

"What's wrong?" Kyle asked.

"Let's sit down for a minute," David said pouring
himself another drink.

He took Kyle's hand and they went and sat down on the
couch.

"What's up?" Kyle asked.

"Last night," David began. "I wasn't at the beach."

"Where were you?" Kyle asked.

"Well, I went to this bar," David said. "I only had
one drink-"

Before he could continue Tyler and Jake came in from
the balcony.

"Hey, did everyone else leave?" Tyler asked.

"Yeah," Kyle said. "I'm sorry."

"No, it's probably best," Tyler said. "I don't think
we're in a very celebratory mood anymore."

"You two talk?" Kyle asked.

"Yeah, he told me," Tyler replied still holding onto
Jake.

"Maybe you should go lie down," Kyle said to Jake.

"Come on babe," Tyler said taking Jake into the
bedroom.

"What's wrong with Jake?" David asked.

"Tyler or Jake will tell you," Kyle said. "It's not
really my place.  So what were you going to tell me."

"Oh, nothing," David said losing the courage to tell
Kyle.

"Nothing?" Kyle asked. "But you were just-"

"It's not important right now," David interrupted
downing his drink.  "Come on, lets finish cleaning
up."

"You sure?" Kyle asked.

"Positive," David answered.

Kyle and David then went back to cleaning up.

"Thanks you guys," Tyler said walking out of the
bedroom.

"Anytime," David said. "How's Jake?"

"He's asleep," Tyler replied.

"So what is he going to do?" Kyle asked.

"He's going to call the police and tell them what
happened," Tyler said.

"Good," Kyle replied.

"Yeah," Tyler said.

"What's going on?" David asked confused.

"Jake knew that Miles was going to commit suicide, but
didn't say anything," Tyler replied.

"Oh wow," David said surprised.

"Yeah," Tyler sighed.

"You okay?" Kyle asked.

"I'm fine," Tyler replied. "It's just a lot right now
you know?"

"I know," Kyle said. "Not exactly how you would want
to spend your wedding day."

"Exactly," Tyler said.

"Mind if I have another drink?" David asked.

"No, go ahead," Tyler replied. "We have five champagne
bottles.  Might as well use them up."

"Thanks," David said pouring himself another drink.

"Take it easy," Kyle said. "That's your fourth glass."

"That's already your fourth glass?" Tyler asked.

David didn't reply.

"Are you sure everything is okay?" Kyle asked unsure.

"Fine," David lied.

Over in Marcus and Trevor's room, Trevor fell asleep
from crying so much.  Marcus went and put a blanket on
him and then walked out onto the beach where he saw
Randal sitting down.

"Hey," Marcus said.

"Hi," Randal replied.

"So I'm guessing the party is over?" Marcus asked.

"In more ways then one," Randal replied.

"What do you mean?" Marcus asked.

"Stanley and I broke up last night," Randal replied.

"What?" Marcus asked hoping he heard Randal wrong.

"We broke up," Randal said again.

"Why?" Marcus asked.

"We had our reasons," Randal replied.

"Was Stan feeling neglected?" Marcus asked.

"Excuse me?" Randal asked.

"Randal, your my best friend," Marcus began, "But I
have to tell you, you've were neglecting Stan these
past few months."

"You're taking his side?" Randal asked going on the
defense.

"I'm not taking anyone's side," Marcus pointed out.
"But you have to hear this.  You've been cold towards
Stan.  We all saw it.  And you were a little cold
towards us."

"What?" Randal asked not seeing it.

"You weren't so bad to us, it was more so at Stan,"
Marcus said.

"I was?" Randal asked in shame.

"Yeah," Marcus replied.

Marcus looked at Randal hoping he made a break through
to him.

"No," Randal said after a minute. "No, it's his fault
this relationship is over.  He wants out, then he can
leave."

Randal then got up.

"I'm going to go for a walk," Randal continued. "I'll
see you later."

"Randal," Marcus sighed.

Randal ignored Marcus and walked off.

That night Jake woke up and found Tyler laying in bed
with him, holding him closely.

"Hey," Tyler said sweetly.

"I'm sorry," Jake said. "I know this isn't how you
wanted to spend our wedding night."

"It's okay," Tyler replied. "You know I don't care
about that."

"I do," Jake said. "This isn't the way things are
supposed to go."

"Jake, it's okay," Tyler said. "We have the rest of
our lives together."

"But it's our wedding night," Jake sighed.

"But we have a lifetime of nights together," Tyler
replied.

"What if the police arrest me?" Jake asked.

"They won't," Tyler replied.

"But I stood by and did nothing while he killed
himself," Jake said. "I have poor judgement."

"Don't worry," Tyler assured. "Everything will work
out."

"I guess I should go in and talk to the police huh?"
Jake asked.

"You want to do it now?" Tyler asked.

"Why not?" Jake asked. "Might as well get it over
with."

"All right," Tyler replied. "Lets get dressed and
we'll go down."

When Marcus went back into the room, Trevor was awake
and laying on the bed.

"Hi," Marcus said coming in.

"Hey," Trevor replied.

"You feeling a little better?" Marcus asked.

"I guess," Trevor said. "It's just weird. I never
would have guessed that he would go to such a drastic
solution as suicide."

"I know," Marcus said. "It's terrible."

"I know you and the guys didn't like him much, but he
really was a great guy," Trevor said.

"I'm sure he was," Marcus said. "He must have been for
you to be so close to him."

"I just wish I could have talked to him or done
something to try and convince him not to," Trevor
said.

"I know," Marcus replied.  The two stayed quiet for a
while, just thinking and trying to find the light at
the end of this dark tunnel they've been traveling.

"I'm sorry," Trevor said breaking the silence.

"For what?" Marcus asked.

"For all that I've been putting you through," Trevor
replied. "I know how hard this is for you."

"You're confused right now," Marcus began saying, but
was then interrupted by Trevor's cell phone.  Trevor
looked at the caller ID.

"It's Justin," Trevor said.

"I'll let you get that," Marcus said getting up. "I'll
be back later."

Marcus then headed out of the room.  Trevor sighed and
then answered.

Over in Randal and Stanley's room the two were silent,
they both went about their business as if the other
wasn't there.  Stanley grabbed a couple pillows and
made a little bed on the couch.  Randal in turn closed
the door to the bedroom and quietly got into bed.  He
began to read a book, but then couldn't take it
anymore, he started thinking of him and Randal...

****FLASHBACK****

It's the first night Randal and Stanley met, the night
Marcus and Randal had set each other up on blind
dates.

"So who am I going out with?" Marcus asked.

"His name's Roman," Randal replied. "I've known him
for about a year.  He's a friend of mine, but we don't
see each other often."

"Okay," Marcus answered.

"What about the guy I'm going out with tonight?"
Randal asked.

"His name is Stanley," Marcus replied, "I met him at
work.  He's an intern there.  Very sweet guy, he's the
type of guy I think you could have a future with."

"Well, we'll see," Randal said.

Just then they heard the doorbell and went to answer
it.
To their surprise, both of the guys got there at the
same time.  They all headed out.

**********************************

Stanley smiled and leaned in and kissed Randal.

"So, this is our second date.  That's a pretty big
step for you," Stanley said.

"Yes it is," Randal replied. "We should celebrate."

"I think so," Stanley said smiling.

Randal leaned back in and started kissing Stanley some
more.  The two laid back on the couch together.

"Wait," Randal said stopping himself.

"What's wrong?" Stanley asked.

"I can't do this," Randal replied. "Not just yet
anyway.  We're just acting on our hormones right now.
I want to wait and do this when there's more intimacy
and heart involved in it."

Stanley smiled and kissed Randal.

"That sounds like a good idea," Stanley answered.

"You don't mind?" Randal asked.

"Not at all," Stanley replied. "I can wait."

*************************************

Randal and Stanley are in the hospital having just
been in a car accident.  Randal got off the phone with
Tyler as Stanley woke up.

"Stanley," Randal said smiling.

"Hey you," Stanley sighed smiling back.

"Thank God you're okay," Randal said getting out of
his bed and going over to Stanley to give him a hug.

"Yea, I'm fine, just a little weak is all," Stanley
replied. "Are you okay?"

"I'm a lot better now that I know you're okay," Randal
said giving Stanley a kiss.

****END FLASHBACK****

Stanley also was thinking about the two in the past...

***FLASHBACK****

Stanley had just finished signing away the rights to
his son.  Stanley and Nicole were heading to the door
as Nicole and Stanley's son, Doug, were getting ready
to leave.

"All right bud, we have to get going," Nicole said.

Doug got up and they headed towards the door.

"Thank you again," Nicole said giving Stanley a hug.
"Take care."

"You too," Stanley replied.

"Bye," Randal said shaking Nicole's hand. "Drive safe.
Bye Doug."

"Bye Randal," Doug said.  Doug then turned to Stanley
and grabbed Stanley's hand and pulled down so Stanley
would kneel by him.  Doug then wrapped his arms around
Stanley's neck.  At first Stanley was taken by
surprise but then melted into the hug and held on
tightly.  Randal went to the cabinet by the door and
pulled out the camera and took a picture of the two.

"Bye buddy," Stanley whispered to Doug.

"Bye," Doug said and then went to his mom and they
left.

Stanley then turned to Randal. "You told Doug to do
that huh?"

"What do you mean?" Randal asked acting innocent.

"Thank you," Stanley said giving Randal a kiss and
held onto him tightly.

****END FLASHBACK****

Both stayed in their areas in the hotel room, still
having trouble accepting the fact that they are in
fact over.  Randal got up out of bed and went into the
living room area where Stanley was laying on the
couch.

"Hey," Randal said softly.

"Hi," Stanley replied.

"Can you believe this?" Randal asked.

"No," Stanley replied.

"What are we doing?" Randal asked. "I don't want us to
end."

"Me neither," Stanley replied.

"Then, lets not break up," Randal said simply.

"Randal," Stanley sighed. "It's so much more
complicated then that."

"Why?" Randal asked.

"If we get back together then what will change?"
Stanley asked. "We didn't resolve anything."

"What do we need to resolve?" Randal asked.

"That's exactly my point," Stanley answered. "You
don't feel there's anything we need to resolve."

"There isn't," Randal said.

"Yes there is," Stanley pointed out. "But you just
can't see it, and that's why we broke up."

"Because you think I've changed?" Randal asked.

"Because you have," Stanley corrected. "You just can't
see it, or you refuse to."

"This is bull," Randal said. "I have not changed.
You're just giving up because you're not getting
everything you want out of me."

"What?" Stanley asked insulted. "That's bull shit."

"No, what's bull shit is this reason for you breaking
up with me," Randal said. "I don't get you."

"I can't get how you don't see why we broke up,"
Stanley shot back.

"Whatever," Randal said heading back to bed. "Lets
just agree to not talk to each other until we get back
home and from there we'll decide how to handle the
moving out process."

"Fine," Stanley said as Randal closed the door to the
bedroom.

Over in Kyle and David's room the two were watching
TV, David was still drinking some of the left over
champagne, Tyler gave him a couple bottles.

"You need to stop drinking," Kyle said taking the
bottle away from him.

"You don't understand," David said.

"You're drunk," Kyle said.

"I'm not actually," David replied. "I'm trying to get
drunk, but I'm not."

"Why?" Kyle asked.  "Does this have anything to do
with what you were going to tell me earlier?  You said
you were at a bar."

  Before they could continue there was a knock on the
door.  David quickly went to answer it to avoid
talking to Kyle.  He opened it up to find Marcus
standing there.

"Hi," Marcus said.

"Hey, you okay?" David asked.

"Fine," Marcus replied simply.

"You don't seem real fine," Kyle said. "What's wrong?"

"Trevor's on the phone with Justin," Marcus replied.

"Oh," both Kyle and David replied at the same time.

"I just don't know what I'm going to do," Marcus said.
"I can't handle this."

"Did he chose Justin?" Kyle asked.

"No, he's still confused," Marcus replied.

"I say," David began, "If you don't want to deal with
this anymore then just break it off.  You don't
deserve this."

"He's not doing this to hurt me," Marcus pointed out.

"Yeah, but he's still doing it," David said.

Marcus didn't say anything, he knew that David had a
point.

"Why don't you sleep here tonight," Kyle suggested.

"Really?" Marcus asked.

"Yeah," Kyle said.

"Thanks you guys," Marcus said.

"Let's order some room service," David suggested.

"Yeah," Kyle said. "We'll have another guys' night
in."

"Sounds good to me," Marcus said.

Kyle went into the other room to get the menu for room
service.

"So how are you doing?" Marcus asked.

"Awful," David replied.

"You haven't told Kyle?" Marcus asked.

"No," David replied. "I can't."

"You have to," Marcus said.

Before he could press David anymore Kyle came out of
the bedroom.

"All right, so what should we order?" Kyle asked
handing them the menu.

"I'll be right back," David said heading for the door.
"You two order."

"Where are you going?" Marcus asked.

"I just have to do something real quick," David
replied.

"I don't think that's a good idea," Kyle said. "You're
drunk."

"No I'm not," David said walking out the door.  He
went and headed for Johnny's apartment, luckily he
remembered where he lived.  He went and knocked on the
door.  Johnny opened the door and was surprised to see
David there.

"Hey bra," Johnny said in his Hawaiian accent.

"You drugged me," David accused.

"Excuse me?" Johnny asked playing dumb.

"Why?" David asked.

"I don't know what you're talking about bra," Johnny
said. "Besides, you can't prove anything."

"It really doesn't matter," David said. "I just need
to know, are you clean?"

"Don't worry, we used condoms," Johnny said.

"But are you clean?" David asked.

"What does it matter?" Johnny asked. "It was just one
night and we were safe."

"Are you clean?" David pressed getting pissed off.

"No," Johnny simply replied. "I've been positive for
about two years."

David couldn't find the words to say anything, he just
slowly turned and walked away, everything began to
spin in his head unable to grasp at how much trouble
he could be in.

     Kyle and Marcus were watching TV when David came
back in the room.

"Hey," Kyle said. "You okay?"

"Fine," David replied quietly.  He went into the
bedroom and closed the door.  Kyle and Marcus both
looked at one another confused.

"I'll be right back," Kyle said getting up and going
into the room.  When he walked in he saw David sitting
on the edge of the bed and starring at a blank wall.
"David."

"Yeah?" David asked quietly, not taking his eyes off
the wall.

"What's wrong?" Kyle asked. "You've been acting weird
all day."

"Kyle," David said. "I don't even know how to begin to
tell you."

"Try," Kyle said sitting next to David and holding his
hand.

"I'm sorry," David said.

"For what?" Kyle asked.

"For what I'm about to say," David replied.

"What's going on?" Kyle asked confused.

"Last night, when I went to that bar," David began. "I
had one drink and some guy came over to talk to me."

"Okay," Kyle followed.

"I don't know," David said. "I must have taken my eyes
off my drink because he put something in it.  Next
thing I remember, I was-"

David couldn't finish.

"You were?" Kyle asked.

"I woke up in his apartment this morning," David
replied. "In his bed, naked.  We had sex."

"Oh my God," Kyle said in shock.

"And I just found out that he's positive," David said,
tears rolling down his cheek.
