Justin stood there stunned and in a daze, holding Alex off the ground. "Let me go, Justin," was all Alex was saying while trying to squirm out of Justin's arms. "Not until you tell me what the hell is going on." Justin said, snapping out of his daze. "Ah shit, please tell me we're not to late," Brad cried. "Alex, please tell me you didn't do anything stupid, please," he said as he walked up to Alex and Justin. "Anything stupid? That's the understatement of the year. He knocked Tony out," Justin said, looking angry and confused as he started to put Alex down. "What do you mean by knocked Tony out?" I asked as I closed my eyes, dreading the answer because I didn't want to hear it. "What do I mean?" Justin asked. "I mean knocked out cold, one punch, laid out flat on the ground is what I mean." Justin said, now looking at Alex as he walked around to get in front of him and next to us. "HOLY SHIT!" both Brad and I said at the same time. "Alex, I can't believe you hit Tony," I said as I hit him in the arm. I was now really pissed off. "You asshole!" "Ouch, Alisa that hurt," he said with a smile "This isn't funny Alex," I said as I went into mother mode. "First you scare Brad half to death, then me, and then Justin has to drag you away so you don't get in trouble, like you haven't had enough trouble this year." Then I heard a snicker and turned to my side to find Brad laughing. "And you," I said to Brad as I poked him in the chest, "don't think that I forgot about you! How dare you drag me all around school looking for Alex by having me believe that this is some life or death matter?" I poked him and he started to back up with each poke until he was next to Alex. "Only to have this be some macho-testosterone, who can piss the farthest bull shit." Theere was more laughing, this time from Justin as I turned and laid into him "And you! I'm really pissed at you. You scared the shit out of me and your parents last night. When are you going to stop this 'I'm Justin and when I have a problem I just run away or go play football and the problems solved'? And why the hell didn't you stop him when you saw him?" "How the hell was I supposed to know that he was going to hit Tony? I just want to know what the hell is going on?" Justin answered back with a weak grin. "Well don't look at me, I'm as clueless as you," I told him, throwing my hands in the air. "Only the wonder twins know what's going on." I turned to face Brad and Alex " Well?" They both had huge smiles on their faces.Suddenly Justin got angry. "What the fuck, do you think this is some game, you guys? Alex you just knocked out one of the biggest assholes in school, and for no reason. You think JC is a prick well …." Suddenly Alex lost it. "NO REASON? NO REASON?" he shouted as both of their smiles disappeared. Brad suddenly get this look of panic on his face " Both of you, follow me," he said as he grabbed Brad and walked into an empty building, then into a classroom. "Brad, take off your shirt." Alex "Alex, no," Brad said as he walked into the room and away from me as I stood next to Alisa and Justin. "Brad take off your shirt. It's ok," I again told him as I walked over to him and put my hands on his shoulders. "Ah, you guys, is their something I should know?" Alias adked, smiling at both of us trying to lighten the mood. "Yeah! Shouldn't you guys get a room or something?" Justin asked, laughing and trying to make a joke. "Fuck you Justin, it's your friend's handy work I want to show you," I said to him as I walked over and got in his face. "Please Bear, I want Alisa to see what kind of people Justin's friends are. And why I'm so mad at the bunch of them." I said it with a smile as I was walking towards him, but this time he moved to a corner of the room. "Me? What the fuck did I do? You're always blaming me for everything!" Brad quickly pulled his shirt off as Justin was walking over to me to start an argument. "Oh my god!" was all I heard from Alisa as she placed her hand over her mouth and started to cry at the sight of Brad's bruises. "Bear, I think I'm gonna to be sick," she said as Justin turned around to face Brad. He just gasped and turned as white as sheet. "Well, Justin what do you think? Your pals did such a bang up job," I said, getting in his face. Justin just turned around and started shaking. "What's the matter Justin? Don't you want to see what your good friends did to your best friend?" I grabbed him to turn him around. He was still shaking, and tears were forming in his eyes. "Alex don't….it's not Justin's fault, " Brad said as he started to put his shirt back on. "Yea Alex," Alisa said, walking over to Brad and rubbing his back. "Yes it is his fault! He turned his back on you. It was his friends that beat the shit out of you, and I know it's not the first time you've been hit." "FUCK YOU ALEX! " Justin shouted as he pulled away from me, tears falling from his eyes as he brought his face close to mine. "How the hell is it my fault? I can't be around him 24-7. I always told you that he had to stand up for himself and for you to stop fighting his battles when we were little. Which brings me to you. Where the fuck were you for three years? You've always been his guardian, so don't get in my face with that bull shit about me. You need to check yourself first, pal!" Alisa rushed over and stepped in between the both of us. "Will you please stop with the macho bull shit? None of us should have ditched Brad, but we all know the main reason why we did it." "Yea, because you didn't want to be seen with Brad because he gay right? " I said to the two of them, still angry at the whole situation. "What's up your ass Alex? I can't help it that some prick goes after Brad because he's gay. What the fuck do you want me to do, fight the whole school for him?" Justin was angrier than before and tried to get in my face again. "Justin calm down," Alisa said, turning to look at him. "Alex, I know it's messed up and all, but I never knew anyone gay before, and when I found out I didn't know how to handle it." I laughed. "And that, my friends, is what is so messed up. Brad's not gay." "WHAT!" Both Justin and Alisa shouted at the same time, turning to face Brad who had been standing in the corner. Brad just stood there with a shy smile as Justin and Alisa stared at him. Well, tell 'em! Tell 'em the whole story." Alisa "What do you mean you're not gay?" I asked him after quickly looking at Justin. "He's not gay!" Alex said, cutting me off. "Some asshole here in this fine institute of higher learning started the rumor, and before you knew it the whole school thought he was gay." He walked over to Brad. "Brad, why would anyone want to start something like that if it wasn't true?" I took a quick look at Justin, but he was showing no emotions. He just had a blank look on his face. "Beats the hell out of me," He said, looking down then looking back up at me, smiling "That's what I'd like to know." "I mean you had to do something to make someone think you were gay." Justin turned around and started to walk over to me. "Who know why the asshole did it?" Alex said, cutting in again. "It could have been because Brad doesn't play any sports, or because he doesn't talk a lot and didn't hang around with the right people. Who knows? Maybe he looked at someone the wrong way. We don't know. All I know is when I find out who started it, that asshole Tony won't be the only one that gets knocked the fuck out." "Alex, now how the hell is that going to help the situation out?" Justin asked after giving me a quick look "It will make these assholes know not to mess with Brad, and that he's not gay." "How? By you beating the hell out of everyone? The only thing that's gonna to look like is that Brad has a boyfriend that can kick the shit out of anyone who messes with him," Justin said, looking back and forth between Brad and Alex. "Whatever," he said "What? Do you have a better plan?" Suddenly a smile came to my face. "Actually, I do." Brad, Alex and Justin suddenly looked at each other and all said together, "Uh-Oh," just as the first bell rang.
