Hello, my name is Shawn Wesley Matthews the third, and this is the story of my some what strange life. I am 12 years old and I'm in the seventh grade. I have curly blonde hair, blue eyes, five foot three inches tall, and I'm gay. My parents and I live in a small town just outside of Atlanta Georgia. I attend the local middle school and I am a straight A student. My favorite subjects are math and science, and my hobbies are wood carving, swimming, horse back riding, and collecting anything that has to do with Native American Indians. My bedroom is decorated with everything you could imagine to do with Indians, from true Indian artifacts, model kits of teepees, pictures of Indian boys, to dream catchers. I have a large dream catcher over my bed to catch my perfect Indian boy that I dream and fantasize about every night. I would love to have a Indian boyfriend, but where would I find an Indian boyfriend in this place? This is the last day of school before summer vacation and we are having our honors program this morning at 10:00 A.M, but my dad and mom won't be here because they never have any time for me. They are big time lawyers in Atlanta and that is all they ever think about. They act like they are embarrassed of me or something. I am excited about today though because I am receiving several awards. As soon as I sat down in my homeroom class I was called to the office. When I walked into the office Mrs. Crabbtree, the secretary, smiled at me and sent me right on in to Mr. White's office. Mr. White told me I had a phone call, when he handed me the phone I heard my granddad say, "Shawn, I am running behind schedule and I'm sorry but I won't get to be there for your award ceremony, I'll meet you at your house after school." I told him it was alright and before my granddad hung up he said, "I'm proud of you Shawn, I love you." Before hanging up I told him I loved him too and then I made my way back to my homeroom class. I gave my hall pass to Miss Brown then took my seat. Miss Brown is my all time favorite teacher. She is so cool, I had her for honors Math and honors English this year. We weren't changing classes today because of the awards ceremony and we were only at school for a half day, so everyone just stayed in their homerooms until we were called to come to the award ceremony in the gym. When the announcement came over the intercom system for everyone to make their way to the gym for the award's ceremony we all lined up and began to make our way to the gym. I made sure I was the last one in line so I could give Miss Brown the present I made her. When I got to Miss Brown I gave her a big hug, told her she was my favorite teacher, and handed her the dream catcher I hand carved and decorated for her. She gave me a big hug in return and told me it was a pleasure to have me in her class and I was her favorite student. When she opened her present and saw the hand carved and decorated dream catcher I made her she began to cry and gave me another big hug. I showed her where I signed and dated it on the bottom and by that time we had reached the gym. We took our seats and I received several awards. I got everything from getting straight A's all year, to perfect attendance, and winning first place in the state science fair. After the awards ceremony school was out for the summer. I couldn't wait I was going to my granddad's ranch in Montana where I was going to get to stay the entire summer. I normally just got to stay for two weeks, but my parents were going to let me stay with him for the entire summer this year. When I arrived at home I saw my dad's car in the driveway and I was a little curious about why he would be home this early, because he never gets home before six or seven in the evening. When I walked through the front door I immediately knew. My father was standing there holding a gay magazine I had hidden in my bedroom. Our maid Mrs. Harris must have found it and called my father I stood there trembling and crying as my dad just glared at me, and when he finally did speak there was a cold edge to his voice. "Get your faggot ass in your room, I'm going to show you what we do to faggot asses." I turned to try to get out the front door when my father grabbed me before I could get the door open and shoved me toward my bedroom. Once in my bedroom my father began to beat the shit out of me, and after he hit me several times he began to rip my clothes off of me. When I was totally naked he shoved me down on my bed and violently raped me. The pain was so intense I past out long before he was through with me, and the next thing I knew I heard my granddad yelling into the phone for an ambulance and police and hearing him tell someone on the phone that his grandson was hurt bad. When my granddad saw my eyes open he hurried over to me and began to ask me who did this to me. I saw tears running down my granddad's cheeks as I told him it was his son, my dad that hurt me. When I told him, I saw a look of unadulterated rage and anger come over my granddad's face. He quickly told me it wasn't my fault and what happened to me would never happen again. He told me not to worry about anything and he would take care of me. Then my granddad called my dad and told him he would be there in about two hours and that he better have all the legal papers ready giving him total custody of me or there would be hell to pay. Before my granddad hung up I heard him tell my dad that he would see him rot in hell for what he did to me. The police and ambulance arrived about the same time my granddad hung up with my dad, and when the first policeman through the door saw me he exclaimed, "DAM! Who did this to you child?" Then the paramedics came in and started working on me and getting me ready to go to the hospital. My granddad rode in the ambulance with me and told Joe and Chuck to meet us at the hospital. Joe and Chuck followed the ambulance to the hospital and waited in the waiting room while my granddad and officer Dixon stayed with me. Dr. Williams sent me to x-ray and ran a few more tests on me and told us he would be back in a few minutes when the results came back. About thirty minutes later Dr. Williams came back into my room and told us I was a very lucky young man. He told us I had no internal injuries or broken bones, but I had to take it easy for the next few weeks because I had several bruised ribs. Then he looked at my granddad and officer Dixon and told them they had enough DNA evidence to convict who ever did this to me. Then he gave my granddad some prescriptions to get filled for me and told us I could go home. Chuck went to get the car while Joe waited at the front door of the hospital with granddad and I. We made a few stops on the way back to my house. The first stop was to the drug store to get my prescriptions filled, while we were in the drug store Joe went next door and rented a tag along trailer and got several boxes to pack my stuff in so we could get it to the airport. The last stop was my dad's office building where my granddad, officer Dixon, and Chuck went inside while Joe stayed in the car with me. When Officer Dixon, Chuck and my granddad entered my dad's office his secretary told them to go on in he was expecting them. When they stepped inside my dad's office granddad saw my dad, my mom, and two people he didn't recognize. My granddad looked my dad in the eyes and said, "You mother fuckin Son of a bitch, I should shove a baseball bat up your ass and show you how it feels." Officer Dixon spoke quietly to my granddad for a moment telling him that the other two men in the room are a judge and his reporter. My granddad turned back to my dad and said, "Well asshole, do you have the paperwork ready? You are no longer my son." My dad just nodded his head and once everyone signed all of the legal documents Officer Dixon stepped forward and arrested my dad for child abuse, sodomy and attempted murder. My granddad then looked at my mother and told her to find a hotel for tonight that he would be getting all of my stuff out tonight and didn't want to have to look at her face. On the way to my house we made one more stop at the bank where I had my savings account so I could close it out before going to Montana. While my granddad and I went into the bank to take care of closing my account, Joe went next door and got three large pizzas for our dinner. When the bank teller handed me a cashiers check totaling just over 21,500 dollars we left the bank and headed for my house. Once we were back at my house we ate pizza and my granddad told me I would be living with him in Montana from now on. After we ate we got all of my stuff packed up, and headed to a hotel close to the airport to spend the night. The next morning we woke early, ate breakfast in the hotel's restaurant, and then we headed to the airport where my granddad's private jet was waiting. Once all of my stuff was loaded we were on our way to Montana and my new life. My granddad and I spent most of the long trip just talking and getting caught up on each other's lives. Then I showed him the several awards I won at school yesterday and my granddad hugged me and told me he was very proud of me. Before we knew it we were landing in Butte Montana. I settled into my new home fairly quickly because I loved my granddad and I knew he wouldn't let anyone hurt me again. He wouldn't let me put my money back into the bank, he told me to spend it on things I wanted and to just have fun with it. I bought myself a three year old buckskin gelding named Hercules, a leaver action 3030 and a four wheeler. I asked my granddad to teach me how to shoot and we went for long rides together on our horses. My summer went by rather quickly and before I realized it, school would be starting next week. My granddad took me shopping and let me pick out all my new school clothes and he got me all the school supplies I'll ever need. I was both excited and nervous at the thought of starting a new school. Finally the big day came. I got up early, ate a big breakfast of bacon, eggs and toast with my granddad then went out to catch the school bus. On the way to school I wondered what the school would be like and would I make any friends. When I arrived at the middle school I went straight to the office to get my class schedule. The secretary quickly made a schedule for me and welcomed me to the school. Before I could go to my homeroom the principal came in and asked me to come into his office for a moment. "Shawn, I want to welcome you to East Middle School, I think you will really like it here. If you have any problems with anyone or anything come see me. Okay?" When I nodded my head he shook my hand and sent me to my homeroom. I found my homeroom without too much trouble. When I entered, I stopped at the teacher's desk to introduce myself but before I had time to say anything he said, "Well, you must be Shawn, I'm Mr. Brown, I've heard a lot about you." I must have looked like a fish out of water with my mouth hanging open because he just chuckled and handed me an envelope and said, "Take this to your seat and read it I think it will explain everything." After sitting down I opened the envelope and began to read the letter inside. Dear Shawn, My sweet boy, I am so sorry for what happen to you. The man that handed you this letter is my brother and I asked him to get you assign to his homeroom. He is also your student adviser so if you ever need to talk, please trust him. If there is anything I can ever do for you please let me or my brother know, you are a special young man and I thank God everyday for you. You and the dream catcher you gave me will always have a special place in my heart. I hope your year is a great one. I'll be checking on you through my brother. I pray the dreams of your heart come true and God sends you someone special to share your life with. Hugs. Miss Brown As soon as I got finished reading the letter the bell rang. I was so glad it chose that precise time to ring because I began to lose it. Mr. Brown came over to me, knelt down and said, "I'm here for you Shawn if you ever need to talk. My sister told me to tell you she thinks a lot of you and is also just a phone call away if you ever need her." Then Mr. Brown handed me two cards. One of them was a hall pass, and the other was a business card for a child psychologist named Dr. Sutton. Then he told me to clean my face up and get to class. The rest of the day was awesome, my teachers were great and at the end of the day Mr. Brown gave me a paper with his and Miss. Brown's phone numbers and email addresses on it. When I got home I told granddad all about my first day and then gave him the card with Dr. Sutton's name on it that Mr. Brown gave me. My granddad thought it would be good for me to talk to someone about what had happened to me so he called and made an appointment for me for tomorrow after school with Dr. Sutton. Then I headed into my bedroom to get ahead start on some homework and looked through my new text books. A little while later I fired up my computer, checked my email, and then sent emails to Mr. Brown and Miss Brown telling them both thanks for all their help. I told them both I had an appointment with Dr. Sutton tomorrow after school. Then I told Miss Brown all about my new school, my new teachers, all about my granddad's ranch, and how much I loved it here. I told her she was the only person I missed in Georgia and then I finally sent the email. After sending the emails I went outside to ride Bucky a little while before supper. After supper I got started on one of the books we will be required to read for English class. After reading for about an hour and a half I decided to go take my shower. I grabbed a black pair of bikini briefs and went to take my shower. I began to soap my body up paying close attention to my cock and balls. After lathering my cock real good I slowly began to jack off thinking about the cute boys I saw at school today. After my explosive orgasm I got out and went to bed. The next day was great because I met my best friend and soul mate Cody Littlehorse. During homeroom Mr. Brown called me up to his desk and asked me if I would tutor a guy named Cody Littlehorse. It seems that Cody missed quite a bit of school last year because of his dad getting sick from cancer. I told him I would be happy to help, so he asked me to come by his room after school and he would introduce us. I left for my first period class wondering about this boy Cody. Mr. Brown then headed to the office to call my granddad and Cody's mom to tell them what was going on and he would bring us home. Then he got Cody's schedule changed to the same classes I had to make it easier on both of us. Then he hurried back to teach his first period class. When he got back to class he called Cody Littlehorse up to his desk and told him he had a tutor for him. He told him my name was Shawn and I was going to help him get caught up on what he missed while he was out of school helping his mom take care of his dad. He told him to come to this class room after school and he would introduce us. Then he would take us both home after we done our homework. Then he handed Cody his new class schedule that would start tomorrow. When the last bell rang I was up and out of my last class in a flash. I headed straight for my locker to put my stuff up. When I had my books stuffed in my locker I headed to Mr. Brown's class eager to meet this boy named Cody. When I walked into Mr. Brown's class room I froze, my mouth fell open, and I couldn't breathe. There he was, the bronze Indian boy from my dreams. He had braided black hair, the darkest eyes I have ever seen, and a perfect smile. I took a deep breath, walked up to him, and stuck out my hand saying, "Hi my name is Shawn, you must be Cody." "Ah, yeah, I'm Cody. Glad to meet you Shawn." He said with that ten thousand watt smile as he shook my hand. Mr. Brown came into the room saw us talking and said, "Good you have met." Cody and I had been working on homework for about an hour when Mr. Brown said, "Okay boys that is enough for now, come on and I'll get you home." On the way home Mr. Brown stopped at the local ice cream shop and got us an ice cream, and by the time we got to Cody's house we had finished our frozen treat. Cody and I became quick friends and about two weeks after we met I asked him to spend the weekend with me. He told me he would ask his mom and he would let me know the next day. When Cody and I met up at our lockers the next morning I could tell he could spend the night by the ten thousand watt smile on his face. When Friday finally rolled around Cody brought his clothes to school with him so he could just ride the bus home with me. When we got to my house Cody was awe struck at our large home, and all the horses he saw. We ran up to my room to put our stuff up. When we entered my room and he saw all of my Indian artifacts and my king size waterbed he said, "WOW! You really do like Indians and that bed is huge!" Then he looked up at me with that ten thousand watt smile on his face and said, "That bed is big enough for an entire tribe of Indians to sleep in, so it will be plenty big enough for you and I with no problem." I just smiled and asked him what he wanted to do first. He told me he would love to go horse back riding, because they had to sell their ranch and horses when his dad died to pay for the hospital bills and funeral. Once we were changed out of our school clothes and into our play clothes we went out to ride horses. I saddled Hercules for Cody and I saddled up my granddad's horse Apollo for myself and we had a very nice two hour ride. After our nice ride Cody and I unsaddled the horses and gave them a good rub down before going in the house to get cleaned up for supper. While Cody and I were washing up I asked, "Well Cody, how did you like the horses?" "Oh Shawn, that was totally awesome." He exclaimed. "I hope we can ride again tomorrow, because I miss riding so much." He said while giving me that ten thousand watt smile. "Yeah Cody, we'll go for a long ride tomorrow." I told him as we sat down at the table to eat. My granddad, Cody and I chatted over a supper of fried chicken, corn on the cob, mashed potatoes and homemade buttermilk biscuits. After we ate Cody and I went up to my room to play some PS2 games. "Ah Cody?" I said hesitantly as I turned off the PS2 system and looked at him. When he looked at me I began again, "Thanks for spending the weekend with me, but there is something you need to know about me." I took a deep breath and continued, "Cody, I like you a lot." He gave me that ten thousand watt smile and said, "I like you too Shawn, you're my best friend." But secretly in his heart Cody was hoping Shawn meant that he liked him more than just friends. "No Cody, you don't understand." I nervously said. I looked him in the eyes and said, I'm falling in love with you Cody, I'm gay." Before he had time to reply to what I said I continued, "If you want to go home I'll understand and I'll get my granddad to take you home." I said as tears ran down my cheeks. Then Cody did something that would change the rest of my life. He wrapped his arms around me and gave me the most passionate kiss I ever had. "I really like you too Shawn, but I was so afraid to tell you because I thought you would hate me." Then I took Cody into my arms and began to passionately kiss him while we slowly undressed each other. When we were completely undressed I led Cody over to my king size waterbed and I began to explore his body with my mouth. When I got down to his four inch cock I began to tease it with my tongue before taking it all into my eagerly waiting mouth. I sucked on his wonderful tasting cock while playing with his marble size balls, and after about five minutes of intense sucking Cody's cock exploded his sweet tasting cum into my mouth. "Oh Shawn, I'm Cumming!" He exclaimed just before exploding his hot cum into my eagerly waiting mouth. When I devoured every drop of his delicious boy juice, I slid up beside him, took him into my arms, and began to tell him all about the dream of the Indian boy I keep having, and how he looked just like the Indian boy in my dreams. The next morning I was woke up by Cody giving me a totally AWESOME blow job, and when I recovered we took a shower together. I soaped every inch of Cody's bronze body, paying close attention to his cock, balls, and his beautiful bubble butt. Then Cody returned the favor and began to soap up every inch of me. When we finished our showers, we got dressed and headed down for breakfast. Cody and I spent allot of time riding horses and talking. I found out his birthday is coming up this coming weekend, and I got a wonderful idea. When we got back to the house I told Cody to head to my room and I would be there in a couple of minutes because I needed to ask my granddad something. I quickly found my granddad and told him what I wanted to get Cody for his birthday. He gave me a hug and told me he would arrange everything for about 4:00 P.M. My granddad called a friend of his that owned a breeding farm and scheduled us a 4:00 P.M. appointment before I even had time to get to my room. Cody and I began to play video games until I heard my granddad call for us. When we went to see what he wanted, he told us we were going to buy a few more horses and he needed us to help pick them out. When Cody turned to head for the door my granddad winked at me as we followed him outside. When we got outside I saw my granddad's Toyota Sequoia truck in the driveway with the horse trailer already hooked up to it. We climbed in and were off to the breeding farm. When we arrived at the ranch a man walked over to the truck and began to talk to my granddad. While they were talking Cody and I walked over to the corral and began to pet the horses. Cody and I saw the leopard spotted appaloosa about the same time. "Oh Shawn look, he is so pretty!" Cody exclaimed. "He looks like the horse I had before my dad got sick." He said as a tear ran down his cheek. I decided right then and there I was getting Cody that spotted horse no matter what. My granddad walked up about then and said, "Well boys see any you want to ride?" I looked at my granddad and gave him a wink as I said, "I want to ride that pretty palomino mare and Cody wants to ride that leopard appaloosa over there." Cody just smiled real big and nodded his head. My granddad told the man he was talking to what horses we wanted to ride and he quickly caught them and brought them out of the corral so we could saddle them. When Cody and I had the horses all saddled up we rode them for about thirty minutes. Cody never lost his smile until he was told to try another horse. We ended up riding five horses a piece, and Cody kept staring at that spotted appaloosa the entire time he was riding the other horses. My granddad and the other man talked for about fifteen minutes and I saw my granddad give him a check for the horses he wanted. We loaded up four of the mares and one of them was the palomino I rode and my granddad made arrangements to have the other four horses he liked delivered tomorrow morning at 10:00 A.M. Cody was really quiet on the ride back to our house and my granddad asked him if he was feeling alright. He told us he was but we knew better because it was totally clear that he really wanted that spotted horse. When we got back to our house we introduced the new horses to the others and they fit right in like they were already part of the family. My granddad unhooked the horse trailer and told us he had to make a run into town and would be back in about an hour. I found out later that my granddad went to M&M Electronics which is the electronics company he owns and got two of the best laptops on the market for Cody and I. They were fully loaded with the latest software packages available and ready to use. When my granddad got back he told us he was taking us out for pizza and he would be ready to go in about twenty minutes. He took us to my favorite pizza restaurant where you can actually watch them make the pizzas. While we were waiting on the pizzas Cody and I went and played a few video games, and Cody seemed to cheer up some what. When our pizzas arrived at our table we set in on eating every slice of pizza, every bread stick and any thing else that got in our way. We finished up our meal and headed back to our house and Cody and I headed up to my room to start getting ready for bed. When Cody and I were taking our showers together I couldn't stand it any more and I asked, "Are you okay Cody?" When he didn't say anything tears began to run down my cheeks as I asked, "Did I do something that hurt your feelings? Cody looked at me and began to cry and through his tears he said, "Oh Shawn, it ain't you." Then my best friend totally broke down and through his sobs he began again, "I miss my dad, why did he have to die? I miss the things we did together, we use to take long rides together and he would take me camping and fishing." He said as I just held him close. "Oh Cody I'm sorry it was my idea to go to the breeding farm, I didn't mean to upset you." I told him as I began to cry also. "I wanted to do something special for you to show you just how much you mean to me." I told him as we stood in my bathroom just holding each other. We finally dried off and went into my bedroom to go to bed,. That night Cody and I just held each other and quickly fell asleep. The next thing I knew I felt Cody's lips on mine giving me a very passionate good morning kiss. "Thanks Shaw, you are the greatest." He whispered in my ear. "Ah Cody, I have a surprise for you this morning." I told him before returning the kiss he gave me. "My granddad and I want to throw you a big birthday party here this coming Saturday, and you can invite anyone you want to the party." I also told him after playing tonsil hockey with him for a few minutes. "Shawn, I love you." He told me. "What are we going to do today before I have to go home?" He asked as he got up and began to get dressed. "Well first thing is breakfast and then the other horses my granddad bought will be here." I told him as I finished getting dressed also. "Come on lets get some breakfast." I told him as I headed to the kitchen. Over breakfast we decided to go riding after we get the new horses settled in. Granddad spoke up before we were finished with our breakfast and said, "Boys, how would you guys like to go fishing with me after the horses get here." "Shawn, we can saddle up the horses and show Cody our favorite fishing place." He added before we could reply. "Oh granddad; that is a great idea, Cody told me he'd love to go fishing." I excitedly told my granddad. Cody just gave us an ear to ear grin and nodded his head. Just then we heard the truck pull up to the house with the other horses. We hurried outside and my granddad walked over to the driver that was just getting out of his truck. They shook hands and began to talk a moment before my granddad sent Cody and I over to open the corral gate so we could put the new horses inside it for the day, before introducing them to the other horses. My granddad and the driver unloaded the first two horses and brought them over to the corral. Then they gently smacked them on their rumps as they trotted into the corral. My granddad unloaded the third horse and then he looked at Cody and I and said, "You boys unload the last horse but be careful with it because it is in a strange place and might spook." When Cody and I stepped upon the horse trailer to unload the last horse, Cody immediately saw the spotted appaloosa he had a fit over yesterday and began to cry. I wrapped my arms around him and said, "Happy birthday Cody, I hope you like him." "Oh Shawn, I can't, it's too much." He said to me through his sobs. "Shawn, you shouldn't have, I'll never be able to pay you back." He kept telling me as I just held him tighter. "I did. I wanted to do it for you, and yes, I can afford it." I reassured him as his sobs began to subside. "Now are we going to unload your new horse so you can ride him?" I asked as I gently kissed him. "Oh Shawn I love you." He said as we separated from our kiss. When Cody and I unloaded his birthday present, my granddad and the driver were standing there smiling at us. Then the driver looked at Cody and told him his new horse's name was Dream Catcher. Then granddad told us to get saddled up and we would go fishing. He went and gathered up our poles and tackle boxes and we were on our way to a pleasant day of fishing. We ended up fishing for a couple of hours and catching enough fish to feed an army. My granddad decided to invite Cody's mom over for a cook out, because he needed to talk to her about next weekend anyway. We all enjoyed a great fish dinner and afterwards granddad and Cody's mom made plans for Cody's birthday party. Then Cody took his mom down to the corral and showed her his new appaloosa I gave him for his birthday. He told her his horse's name was Dream Catcher. Cody and his mom went home not to long after that and I realized my large dream catcher over my bed worked, it caught my Indian boy, and now at last my dreams have come true. Cody's birthday party was a huge success and several of our friends were here. He made sure they all saw Dream Catcher and the laptop my granddad and I gave him. Cody and I grew closer as the weeks went by and our love for each other blossomed. Cody's grades improved drastically over the next several months and before we knew it Thanksgiving and Christmas was fast approaching. My granddad invited Cody and his mom to join us for our big Thanksgiving feast and she accepted after making him agree to let her help cook. When Thanksgiving arrived Cody and his mom showed up early so she could help my granddad prepare everything. We all ate until we couldn't eat anymore. The next morning my granddad took Cody and I Christmas shopping and we began to buy presents for everyone on our list. My granddad helped keep Cody busy while I bought him the beautiful compound bow he saw and had a fit over the last time we were in the sports store in the mall. It had a wolf and eagle carved into it. It would go perfect with the hand carved rack I made him to hang his bow on. It also has eagles and wolves carved into it. Then my granddad kept me busy so Cody could buy my Christmas present and when Cody and I finished our shopping granddad went off on his own to do a little shopping. When all shopping was complete we headed home to wrap our presents. Cody and his mom would be spending Christmas day with my granddad and I so his mom let him spend Christmas Eve night with me. Cody and I exchanged our presents to each other and when Cody saw the hand carved gun rack I made him he began to cry. "Oh Shawn it is beautiful." He told me as he was hugging me. Then I handed him his bow I got him and when he had unwrapped it he just stared at it with tears running down his cheeks. When Cody got his tears under control he handed me a small wrapped package. When I opened it and saw the hand made and decorated moccasins I also began to cry. "Oh Cody their beautiful, I love you." I told him through my tears as I gave him a big hug. Then he handed me another box and when I opened it there was a beautiful, hand made, ceremonial head dress in it. It was breath taking. Every color of the rainbow from blue to orange was in it somewhere. Then Cody handed me a very small box and when I opened it there was a silver arrow head on a chain laying in it. The inscription on the arrow head read: To Shawn, my soul mate who taught my heart to love again. I gave Cody a big hug and thanked him over and over again while tears ran down my face. The next morning Cody and I were up, dressed, and ready to open presents before my granddad had his first cup of coffee drank. Cody's mom arrived about thirty minutes later and we were finally allowed to open our presents. We both received new clothes, watches and new games for our computers. Then granddad gave Cody and I a big box each and when we had opened them we saw brand new saddles, bridles and anything else we could ever need for our horses. Cody and I got up, gave granddad and Cody's mom big hugs, and headed outside to try out Cody's new bow. Cody and I target practiced with his bow until granddad called us in to eat. We had the traditional Christmas feast: turkey, ham, dressing, mac and cheese, candy yams, mash potatoes, and rolls, and for dessert we had a pumpkin pie, an apple pie, a pecan pie and a large banana pudding. Cody and his mom left not to long after we finished our Christmas meal, and I got all of my new stuff put up. I tried out my new games and also tried on my moccasins Cody made me, they were a perfect fit. Then I remembered I didn't give my granddad's present to him. I ran back down to the living room and found granddad's present hanging on the tree. I handed granddad the envelope and watched him open it. When he saw the Gift certificate for a GPS system for his truck, he smiled at me and said, "I love it, I've been wanting to get one for the Sequoia and now I can." Then he gave me a big hug and sent me off to get ready for bed. Over the next few weeks Cody and I were inseparable and we started making plans about what we could do over the summer. Then Cody's mom met George Wilcox and things drastically began to change. Mr. Wilcox acted like he didn't like me for some reason and Cody and I only got to see each other at school. The Monday before school would be out for the summer Cody came to school really upset. I finally got him to tell me what was wrong at lunch. "Oh Shawn, my mom and Mr. Wilcox are getting married, and he is making us move away." He told me through his tears. "Mr. Wilcox don't like living around here and he told my mom he thought you were a bad influence on me and it would be better to move me to Washington where his family lives." He said while trying not to totally break down at school. "We are moving to Washington Friday, so we just have a few more days together." He whispered to me as we walked to our next class. My world was crashing down around me, Cody was moving away and I would never see him again. When I got home from school my granddad saw that I had been crying, and he asked me what was going on. When I told him what Cody told me, he got really mad. He told me to get my homework done and he would finish dinner when he got back because he had to run a quick errand. He hugged me and told me he would be back in a little while. Well I found out later my granddad went over to Cody's house and confronted Mr. Wilcox about what Cody had told me. The worse thing was he couldn't change their minds and Cody, his mom, and Mr. Wilcox moved anyway and my world fell in around me. I became depressed and very moody. My granddad tried everything to help me and even flew Miss Brown out here for a visit to see if she could help bring me out of my depression. I was glad to see her but it still didn't change the fact that the love of my life, my soul mate, Cody was gone. To Be Continued...
