Damien and Alex

Part 2


ALEX
Ok the look on Damien's face told me he was thinking about something we did
in the past. Well I decided that the thing he would love the most was to
feel my lips softly against his. Sure enough the moment mine touched his,
his tongue found it's way into my mouth and mine went into his.

I heard my nana say, "Typical lovers. They cry one minute and pashing the
next."

Well that cracked both of us and we pulled a part whilst we laughed about
what my nana had just said. When both of us had calmed down we noticed that
the door way was empty so we went back to kissing and it wasn't until mum (I
call her mum after all the help she has given me) yelled "Boys get down here
now otherwise neither of you are getting breakfast."

Well you should have seen us fly down stairs and sit at the table in record
time. All the adults burst out laughing at the speed we went to make sure we
got breakfast before we went up to finish getting ready for school.

As soon as Damien and I had eaten our breakfast we went up stairs to finish
getting ready for school. Damien jumped into the shower while I got dressed.
Just as I was pulling up my boxers I felt a wet hand feeling my arse. I knew
that it was Damien so I turned around and kissed him whilst feeling his arse
in return. Knock. Knock. Well at hearing that we both jumped up pulling on
our uniform as fast as we could. Damien opened the door to see that nana was
standing there.

"Boys we have decided to drop you off this morning as a safety precaution,"
she announced. I looked at Damien and realized that he was thinking the same
thing `shit I never thought about whilst we were on our way to school.' We
both just nodded in agreement. We hadn't thought that my father would try
and get us whilst we were on our way to school. Once we had done each
other's hair and tidied up each other's clothes we headed down stairs to
await being driven to school.


DAMIEN
Well breakfast was an event for the adults as they had threatened to not
give either of us any if we didn't come down stairs. Well both were usually
starving then so we both raced down as fast as we were able to. We ate just
as fast. We had come down the stairs causing more hysterics from the adults,
they can be so immature at times, before heading back up stairs to get
dressed. The biggest shock was when Alex's nana came and knocked on the door
while we were in a deep and romantic hold. Well that broke it and we rushed
to get dressed. When we let her in she told us that we would be getting a
lift to school. I hadn't even thought of that and by the look on Alex's face
neither had he. Well as usual we helped each other with the finishing
touches to make each other look superb (I took that from Alex).

We went down stairs to wait to see who was driving us to school. But when we
got there no one was to be seen.

"Boys you are needed in the lounge room for a moment" we heard my mum yell.
We went in and it was all dark. I turned on the light and the three of them
yelled, "Happy Birthday!"

Well we were in shock as both of us had totally forgotten about our
birthdays. We stood there for a moment and I just stared at them not knowing
what to say or think. It was our eighteenth and both of had forgotten after
everything that had gone on who could blame us. I turned to Alex and smiled.
  "Happy Birthday sweetie." I whispered then embraced him with a very loving
kiss without using tongues.

He smiled back and whispered, "Same to you sweet heart."

Then we saw them over on the coffee table. Presents, lots of presents. I
looked at Alex and knew that he was thinking the same thing as me. I know
what you are thinking we are eighteen and should be over the stage of
enjoying present opening but hay we only get them twice a year why should we
be excited.

Well both of us raced over to the presents while the three adults smiled
happily knowing that this at least took our minds off Alex's father. The
both of us got the exact same things, as bloody usual, which I thought was
pretty cool seeing that this way we both didn't fight if both of us wanted
to use the same thing at the same time. We had a couple of joint presents.
But we had been having them a lot over the years I mean the first birthday
that we did I still remember.

I was lucky enough to be able to let Alex stay over the night before our
birthday. It had started to become a rarity because of the arsehole he calls
`dad' thinks that we are to close. What would he know?

Anyway we are about to turn ten and we are both excited. Double figures
everyone said that is the big one and we were so excited. But also we knew
that this year the parents have something big planned.

Ok, it's our birthday and I was lucky enough to give Alex a birthday hug and
whisper "Happy Birthday pal" before any of our parents. Of course he said it
back. Then we went down for breakfast only to notice that not one of our
parents were there. We checked their bedrooms but they weren't there either.
We were worried they had never gone out before letting us know before so
what were we up to. Then Alex noticed it a piece of string tied to the end
of our bed holding a note. The note said "Boys, to find your surprise follow
the rope."

Well the next thing I remember we were holding the rope following it to the
back door. There was another note. Well Alex grabbed it first and read it
out "You have reached this far now find the next piece of string to follow
you are almost there."

Well we both started searching for this piece of rope that lead us to our
present. I noticed a piece of rope at the bottom of the door leading outside
"Hay Alex I found it" I yelled calling him back to the door.

We followed this piece to our clubhouse and noticed the door was ajar. We
walked inside and saw all four parents there and they yelled surprise as
they had set up a computer with the Internet and, a TV for us to use.

Well we were beside our selves with excitement at this and we almost knocked
the four adults over when we ran over to give them a hug and kiss for the
gifts. Then we saw them. Two identical piles of presents waiting for us well
that was it the parents laughed as we both raced open to rip open every
present in two minutes flat.

Man we were happy in those days with not a thing on our mind. Oh well we are
adults now and things were destined to change from those innocent days. I
really miss them though and I am almost certain that Alex does to, as this
is the first birthday without seeing either of his parents. I noticed the
tears in his eyes when he picked up the huge present that his mum had gotten
him that I left my presents just to give him a hug and make sure that he was
ok. He knew at that moment that he meant so much to me, for me to leave
presents just to make sure he was ok.

I waited until all the other presents had been opened and I snuck into my
draw under supervision to get the present I had hidden for Alex there. Once
I got back I realized that he had done the same. I handed him my gift with a
kiss and acceptance of his gift. I opened mine before him and inside was a
necklace with a pendant that was half missing. But once he opened his I
realized that the other half was on the necklace I had gotten him. I put his
around his neck and then he did the same to me. I knew at that exact moment
we were meant to be together forever. As even though we both bought them at
different times we still bought adjoining pendants for each other.

The three adults laughed joking, "Did you two buy them together and forget?"

"No we didn't. I didn't even realize that it was a two piece pendant but I
guess that is what happens when you know so much about each other you buy
things that go with what they buy you" I answered still in shock.

ALEX
Well our birthday has come up and bit us on the arse. But we both had our
minds elsewhere so I guess we can understand it. The best present was the
pendant that Damien gave me. The funny thing was that it joined to the one
he gave me. I love him so much and he proved that I mean so much to me when
he came over when I found the present from mum. I knew that he cared but I
didn't realize that he would do anything to make sure I was happy. I know
that I would have done the same thing if it had have been him.


Ok mum gave us a lift to school with yet another note for Mrs. P explaining
about the necklaces. We laughed with her the whole way saying, "What will
the note be for tomorrow mum?"

She answered "There bloody well better not be I cant be writing you two
notes everyday. Now on a serious note be careful we don't want anything to
happen to either of you. Have a good birthday you two and stay out of
trouble"


We went into school and the same two idiots had something to say but we
ignored them, which pissed both of them off. We laughed about as we joined
our friends who all wished us a happy birthday and laughed when we told them
about our gifts to each other. Then all too soon the bell rang and we went
inside to class.

Today that same teacher was back again and we both thought great another
episode of what happened yesterday. Only when he came along marking the roll
he passed Damien and I a note.

It said `Happy Birthday boys. Meet me here at recess and I will explain why
I am here and what this has to do with both of you.'

This made both of us curious and soon it was recess and we waited until
everyone else had left and then went up to him.

"Ok you two. Have either of you heard your parents talk about a James?" he
asked when we got there.

"Yea. They said that he was my older brother but has been missing for eight
years," I told him.

"The truth is Alex and Damien that I am James and dad kicked me out when I
told him I was Gay. I am glad to see both of you again after all these
years. By the way Alex how are mum and dad?"

"Dad killed mum and he is trying to kill me now" I responded. "Also nana is
at Damien's house after hearing what he had done. Why don't you come over
tonight and see her I am sure she will be happy to see you?"

"Yea I am happy to see you to I remember just before you left when you told
us to take care of each other and be there for each other" Damien added.

The rest of the day was great. At lunchtime Damien and I rang home saying
that we had a surprise for them and also had a lift.

School finished for the day and we went to meet up with James when Mrs. P
saw us saying, "What are you to doing?"

"We are waiting for James he is giving us a lift home. We have made up for
yesterday and we can't wait to catch up on old times," I told her.

"I thought that he would explain to you two who he was soon enough," she
said. "I am glad that the two of you have him again. I have planned to give
him a permanent position as Mr. J has retired. I was wondering if you two
think it is a good idea?"

"Yea it would be great. It will be just like the old days," Damien answered
before I had a chance so I just nodded in agreement.

At that exact moment James walked up and Mrs P gave him the good news. He
grabbed her and hugged her and then did the same to both Damien and myself.

Once we were in the car he decided to give us both our presents. Well we
were both so surprised that we couldn't wait to open them but he said, "Wait
until we get back to your house. I think nana will want to see you open
these as her and I planned this back when I was living at home to give these
to you when you turned eighteen"

So we waited as he drove down the streets towards our house. When we pulled
up the three adults were standing outside waiting for us. When James got out
of the car we all heard my nana gasp and then smile as she walked up and
gave James the biggest hug.

"Have you given them to them?" she asked him. She was holding him so tight
that he was only able to nod.

"So can we bloody open these now or not nana?" I asked. "I think you should
loosen your grip so that James can breathe."

She let go of James and lead everyone inside to the kitchen table. "Now you
two can open them," she announced when everyone was seated around the table.

We both so much care to open these gifts that had been wrapped almost
thirteen years ago.


DAMIEN
Well James kind of surprised us after everything that has gone on over the
last couple of days but it is good to see him again and now he will be
teaching us for the rest of the year. Man Alex and I were lucky to have such
a caring family. Mrs. P looks out for us to I mean she actually asked us
about James staying after the troubles. But as soon as we realized who he
was there was no way we were letting him leave mum and dad even said that he
can live with us until he found a permanent place of his own.

Ok back to the presents I know you all want to know what's in them and so do
I carefully opened the wrapping paper and inside was a medallion that had
belonged to my grandfather. I noticed that Alex had gotten pretty much the
same thing only the medallion had belonged to his grandfather.

"Both your grandfathers died in the First World War and we were given these
to thank them for their bravery. We all decided that you two should have
them as you both have the spirit of them. Take care of them as there is no
other one like what each of you have" Alex's nana explained.
We both took the medallions up to our room. We placed them back into their
boxes and placed them carefully into our cabinet of collectables.

Whilst Alex and I were in our room we heard the four adults chatting
downstairs so Alex and I decided to spend some quality time just lying on
the bed in each other's arms. We stayed in each other's arms for about an
hour or two until James came into the room and told us, "Dinner is ready you
two so get downstairs pronto and can you to act like normal human beings for
a change please?" We both just giggled at his final comment but we got up
straighten each other up. Then went downstairs for dinner.

When we arrived we noticed that dad had gone to all extremes to make the
fanciest dinner possible for our birthday. We both cracked up laughing when
we noticed that all four of them had put on suits and here we were in jeans
and a tee shirt.

Once we were all seated the grown ups made an announcement saying, "Boys
seeing that it is your eighteenth birthday we decided that we would get you
two something very special."

Well we were in shock. We thought that we had gotten all our presents
already. That's when we noticed the keys that James and dad had in their
hands. Alex and I looked at each other as if to say what are these four up
to. We both grinned knowing that it would be good, as they never did
anything half handled. Well they didn't disappoint us today they had bought
both of us our own car. One was black and the other was a red one but they
both were Jaguars. We both decided to take them for a test drive and man did
they go. We drove around for half an hour and they both were amazing I could
have driven all night if I wasn't so tired. We both pulled into the driveway
at the same time.

As we walked inside we agreed to alternate which car we went in to and from
school each day. We decided that we would take mine tomorrow and alternate
from that from now on.
Once we were inside the four adults laughed as we both walked in laughing
saying "Cool thanks you guys just what we wanted."

They lead us into the kitchen where they had a birthday cake waiting for us.
On top of it were models of each of the cars we had just received. As usual
it was a mud cake, as that was both Alex and my favorite type of cake.

Once we had all eaten a piece of cake, Alex and I headed of to bed as we
were both worn out from everything that had happened that day. Before we
went to sleep we cuddled up together and just embraced each other's company
and fell asleep in each other's arms.

"WAKE UP YOU TWO!" James yelled.

"What do you want?" I asked him.

"It's time to get up and get ready for school" he replied.

"Ok. Ok I am awake I can get Alex up. You can go and finish getting yourself
ready. We will be down in a bit," I mumbled.

He laughed and left the room. I started tickling Alex until he woke up. "We
have to get up and get ready for school," I told him. So we both went and
jumped into our shower to wake up properly.

Once we were both dressed we headed down stairs for breakfast. When we got
to the table there were two boxes in front of our seats on the table. "What
are these for?" I asked mum.

"We found them in the letter box this morning like that," Mum said almost
laughing.

I picked up the card and saw the writing and burst out "They are from gran
in America" we both ripped the wrapping paper of and opened the boxes.
Inside were two bracelets that were exactly the same. I laughed and said to
mum "It looks like we need another note" with that Alex and I both burst out
laughing followed closely behind by all the adults.

Once every one had settled down dad brought all our breakfasts, today it
consisted of bacon and eggs, something plain for a change. Alex and I
shoveled them down as fast as we could then told my parents and Alex's nana,
"See you three tonight. And to James, do you want a lift or are you driving
your car?"

He said, "I will drive my own car ok? See you in English"

Alex finished and with that we went outside and hoped into my car to go to
school.

When we arrived at school everyone in year twelve came over to check out our
car. We saw the two guys that had been teasing us stand there with their
jaws on the ground. Every other year twelve looked at them and burst out
laughing.
When the bell went we headed up to see Mrs. P with our new notes. When she
saw she said, "What, not another note for you two?" When she saw us nod she
added "what is it for today?" We showed her the bracelets and she filled out
the permission slips to allow us to wear them with out a hesitation.

We headed to English and took our usual seats near the back row and as usual
Dave and Ike put their hands up and announced to James, "Those two boys are
wearing bracelets today."

James smiled and said "yes I know they are they got them for a birthday
present of Damien's grandma that lives in America."

Well you could have heard a pin drop as the class waited to hear Dave and
Ike's response but none came. Everyone was shocked as they had always had a
come back yet here was a teacher that made them both speechless.

Then Jenny asked "How do you know that's how they got them?"

But before James could answer Alex stood up and said, "He knows because he
is my older brother James and is living at Damien's house with us until he
gets his own flat."

Everyone else was so quiet until Dave found his voice and said "so you two
are getting private help while the rest of us struggle along?"

"No, you bloody idiot we don't. He doesn't talk about school at home and
anyway we have better things to do than sit around and talk about English
all the time," I shouted in annoyance at that comment.

"Well what does it mean?" Ike asked.

"All it bloody means is that he is Alex's brother and we get enjoy ourselves
together like we did when we were little" Alex answered.

"Ok boys that's enough about after school happenings we need to talk about
English here" James announced.

That was the only distraction for the day. Although at lunch everyone came
to have a look at all the jewelry that Alex and I were wearing. Not one of
them could believe that Alex and I had bought the necklaces at separate
times. But we explained, "It was just a coincidence that we had both bought
the two pieces that went together."

When we got in the car I said, "How about we take a drive somewhere just you
and me. I know we will have to ring home and tell the others what we are
going to do but they should be fine I mean we have tinted windows so he wont
be able to see us anyway."

"You know what Damien lets. It will be good to get away even if it is only
an our or two. I would love to have it with you" Alex replied.

So I picked up the car phone and rang home.

"Hello this the Alexander residence..." I heard my mum say.

But I cut her off saying, "Mum, it's me Damien. Alex and I are going out for
an hour or two. We thought that we should let you know what we were doing,
bye." With that I hung up.

I looked at Alex who was laughing. When he finally settled down he said, "I
don't think your poor mum had any chance to object to us going out?" With
that, we both burst out laughing.

Once we both had settled down we took off driving wherever we decided at an
intersection. When we finally decided to stop we were outside our first
cubby house we looked at the dilapidated thing and saw a few kids fixing it
up. We got out and gave them a hand for some of it telling them, "We
actually built this thing twelve years ago and used it to spy on this old
lady that lived down the road who always tried to get us to do chores for
her."

They cracked up laughing then we fixed up the fence and told them, "Have fun
and take care of the old girl."

"We promise guys. Have a nice drive they said."

Once we were in the car I saw him walking up the road. I got Alex's
attention by asking him, "Can you lean over the back and grab the little box
from my backpack?" while we drove past him.

He grabbed out the box and gave it to me. I opened up and saw the two
earrings that were in there. I gave them to Alex and said, "Here is a late
present hun."

He laughed then reached into his backpack and gave me a box that also had
earrings in it. The earrings I had gotten him and the ones Alex had gotten
me were exactly the same. I too started laughing.

When we got home we both raced up stairs to our room and swapped the
earrings we had in to the ones that we had just received then went
downstairs for tea.

"Nice earrings guys," James said as we sat down to tea.

This caused mum and nana to look up and ask, "Where did you two get them?"

"We got them for each other" we both said unison.

After tea we all headed into the lounge to watch a video.


ALEX
Our birthday was excellent surprise for us. I mean we had totally forgotten
all about it after what had happened to my mum and my dad coming to the
school, who can blame us?

The cars well they were excellent. The man said we could go and drive them
so we took them for a test drive there and then. The next day Damien drove
me to school in his and English was excellent. I mean Dave and Ike got shown
up by James and man was everyone happy at that.

Ok it's after school and we have just gotten home from our drive and
Damien's dad has gotten out one of the old homemade movies. I looked at
Damien and saw the same look as the one I was feeling on his face `OH NO'

It's Damien and I. We are going to swim class for the first time. We are
walking in all excited both our mums and dads are there. Our dads are taking
us to get changed my dad has the video camera so Damien's dad got us both
changed. He then took us too the showers before we went to get into the
pool. We both had to be held just to stop us running. We were so excited.

"Weren't you two just so cute back then?" nana asked us.

We both just gave them dirty looks. Ok we were walked over to where the
instructor was and he took us into the group to do warm ups. Once every
child was there and had done the warm ups he took us into the shallow end to
start us off with kicking and blowing bubbles. That was enough for Damien
and I and we both got up and went up to our room just to escape our own
childhood.

Once we were in our room we shut the door and went to lay on the bed. "Alex
there is something I should have told you earlier but the reason I got you
to go into my backpack while we were driving was because I saw him and I
didn't want you to worry." Damien said once we had laid down.

"Thanks I don't think I could have handled seeing him today" I replied and
then I cuddled up to him.

We drifted off to sleep soon after. The next thing I knew was that it was
sunrise and Damien and I were laying on top of our bed in each other's arms.
I looked at him and noticed he was awake as well. "We might as well go and
have our shower. There is no way that I am going back to sleep now that I
have seen your heavenly face." Damien told me.

"Yea I don't think I will either. Sure lets have our shower and surprise the
other four," I answered. Then we both started laughing.

We went and had our shower and for the first time ever we were able to take
our time and enjoy the shower. I washed Damien and then he washed me. By the
time we finished my tongue was in his mouth and his was in mine searching
for each other's tonsils. Once we stopped trying to get each other's tonsils
we got out and got ready. Once we were both dressed we did each other's hair
to make sure it was very neat.


When we had finished we headed down stairs to make ourselves some breakfast.
We were halfway through our bowl of cereal when nana came downstairs and
said, "You to are up early for a change."

"Yea we woke up early and couldn't get back to sleep so we decided to get
ready," I explained.

Once we had finished we went into the lounge to veg out and watch some
cartoons. We heard the rest of the house slowly wake up and come down the
stairs. All of them were surprised to see us up and ready before them.

Dad said, "What do you two want for breakfast?" "We already had some dad but
thanks for asking" Damien replied.

Once it was time to go to school we headed out the door and got into my car.
The drive to school was excellent my car went like a dream. Every year
twelve came over to look at my car as they had done Damien's yesterday and
yes Dave and Ike were speechless yet again. We went into the school only to
hear a voice yell "No one move a muscle!"

I started to shake as I knew that voice to well it belonged to my father.

"Everyone turn around and look at me," he cried.

Luckily for Damien and I we were in the middle of the group. Every year
twelve knew who he was and not one of them were going to give us away, not
even Dave and Ike weren't going to say anything.

I heard one girl on her phone whispering, "Yes. Can I speak to the police
please? Yes I am Jenny Cooner and Alex's father is at the school again with
another gun. They are in the middle of us standing next to me. No he can't
see them. Ok see you soon." and with that she hung up. "Guys the police are
on their way so no one move at all" Jenny told everyone.

Well the message went around everyone very quickly. "I want to see Alex and
Damien now" dad yelled but no one moved.

Then we heard the sirens and off he ran. We all breathed a sigh of relief.

Once we were all inside the police had a few questions for all of us.
"What did he want?" the constable asked.

"He wanted us," Damien and I both said together.

"How are you all coping?" he then asked.

"We will be ok," everyone replied together.

After the police officers had left to search for my father we all sat in the
year twelve common room and just looked at each other. I could tell they
were all thinking the same thing `What is going to happen next time.'

At lunchtime we all were still sitting in the common room thinking about
what had happened before school. It wasn't until Mrs. P came in and told us,
"You all need to get some fresh air." That anyone actually spoke.

"We will be alright Mrs. P we are still thinking about what happened this
morning and coming to terms with what could have happened," Damien said on
behalf of everyone.

"Well all of the staff would like all of you to join us in the staff room
for a discussion about the events of this morning," Mrs. P said before
walking out of the room.

"Well should we go or not?" Dave asked.

At first no one answered then some people said, "Why not?"

Others said, "Why should we?"

Then Damien stood up and announced, "Ok. I know things have been out of
whack today so I suggest that we go down to the staff room and see what they
have to say and take it from there. I think it is better to talk about than
bottling it up so now you have my point of view. You now have a new choice
join me or sit here and sulk."

"I am with you Damien," I announced.

Dave added, "There isn't any surprises there."

"Hay that isn't fair Dave. You just put your foot in it because we are a
couple and didn't even think that maybe Alex had that point of view for
himself." Damien shouted.

He then walked out saying, "Who is coming with me to the staff room?"

I followed him and nearly everyone followed me and so on until we were all
heading to the staff room together. When we got to the door Damien stopped
and announced "I can't open the door someone else will." Then he fell into
my arms crying.

Everyone was surprised as usually he was the strong one yet here he was
crying. Jenny opened the door and we all walked in. Damien and I were at the
back of the group as it had taken that long for him to be able to walk.
James spotted us and rushed over to see what was wrong, as he also knew that
Damien was tough to break.

"What is the matter Damien?" he asked but Damien couldn't answer.

Once everyone was seated Damien slowly came out of it. "Sorry everyone for
that but I almost lost the most important thing to me today and it finally
hit just as we reached the staff room door and I saw James sitting there"
Damien told everyone.

"Damien there is no need to apologize. We were all a little shocked when you
broke down like that as you had always been the strongest minded since
primary school and my mum died" Jenny replied for everyone.

With that he smiled then pulled me close and just held me.


DAMIEN
Mr. L arrived at the school after Alex and I were surrounded by the rest of
the year twelve's. Lucky for us he hadn't seen us. I was so scared that I
couldn't move once we were all facing him with a shotgun. All I was thinking
was `so this is how I am going to die' the whole time. I found out later
that Jenny had rung the police on her mobile while we were standing there.
Once inside I didn't want to move and neither did anyone else. No one had
moved an inch from when they sat down until Mrs. P came in at lunchtime to
tell us to get some fresh air and as usual it was up to me to tell that
everyone was fine and that we were just going over what we had been through.
She invited us to talk in the staff room. I immediately thought it was a
good idea but there were people who didn't so I got up and said "Ok. I know
things have been out of whack today so I suggest that we go down to the
staff room and see what they have to say and take it from there. I think it
is better to talk about than bottling it up so now you have my point of
view. You now have a new choice join me or sit here and sulk."

Alex was the first to agree and of course Dave had add his bit to saying
"There isn't any surprises there."

That was it he had really gotten on my nerves and I had go at him before
telling everyone, "Who is coming with me to the staff room?"

I was surprised when everyone followed me. When we got to the staff room
door I looked in and saw James and that was it I announced to everyone "I
can't open the door someone else will." I broke down and started crying I
was glad I didn't have to search for Alex because I would have ended up on
the floor with no support until he got there.

Jenny opened the door and everyone started to move around us into the staff
room. I could hear James asking for us but I wasn't able to move. In the end
Alex actually started dragging me into the staff room.
James saw us and came to help. He asked me if I was ok but I was still
unable to move a single muscle in my body.

It wasn't until I had sat down that I was able to move anything. When I was
able I held Alex closer to tell him, "Don't leave me ever."

Then I was able to speak and I told everyone, "Sorry everyone for that but I
almost lost the most important thing to me today and it finally hit just as
we reached the staff room door and I saw James sitting there."

Jenny was the first to respond by saying "Damien there is no need to
apologize. We were all a little shocked when you broke down like that as you
had always been the strongest minded since primary school and my mum died."

Well that was it. I broke down again this time it wasn't only Alex the
helped it was James too. I think I shocked everyone so much that lunch was
extended for an extra half hour. After lunch all the teachers that were
taking year twelve class or didn't have a class stayed to keep an eye on us
while they went to teach their class.
