This story is the copy write of the author and cannot be reproduced or
copied without the express permission of the author.

This story also contains boy to boy sexual activity and if this is not to
your liking read no further.

Gradually the noise softened and the boys prepared to leave for the
hostel. It was then that a grim faced Keith Jamieson along with his partner
Doctor Evans came up to Davey and took him and Johnny into a side room,
"There's no other way to say this Davey but I have some bad news for you."
Keith said, "It's regarding Jarod, I'm afraid he was found hanging in his
cell just a few hours ago."

Keith looked at Davey who went very pale but didn't say a word as the news
began to sink in. He was silent for what seemed a long time before he
muttered almost to himself, "I killed him." Keith immediately defended him
saying, "No you didn't Davey, you mustn't blame yourself for what
happened."

This time Davey was more vocal as he turned to Keith with a look of almost
hatred on his face, "What would you fucking know. You never knew him like I
did, he was a kind loving gentle man who I loved dearly and because I took
our love too far and made him have sex with me. Yes made him have sex and
fall in love with me he is gone. I FUCKING KILLED HIM BECAUSE I LOVED HIM."
He yelled at the top of his voice before collapsing in a heap on the floor,
sobbing, crying and repeating over and over, "I killed him."

Keith went to pick him up but decided at the last minute not to.  Johnny
then went and lay down on the floor next to him putting his arms around
him, pulling him close. He held his boyfriend in his arms, slowly rocking
him back and forth like a baby as Davey cried and cried.

The crowds outside on the school grounds were slowly dispersing and the
ground staff began cleaning up not aware of the drama that was taking place
inside the school. Slowly Davey's sobs began to subside as he closed his
eyes and fell asleep still in Johnny's arms. His newly adopted family were
getting anxious and his older brother came to pick him up and take him
home.

He gently put his arms around him lifting him up trying not to wake him.
With Johnny Walker holding onto his hand they walked out to his truck where
Davey was made comfortable in the back with Johnny holding onto him and
they drove home. Not once did he stir and the family began to worry, should
they call the doctor or not?  But Keith assured them he was in a state of
shock and was best left to sleep and get over it naturally.

Once in bed Johnny climbed in under the covers with him and remained with
his arms around him until early morning when Davey finally began to stir
and come round.  The first thing he saw was Johnny looking at him with a
scared look on his face, "I made a fool of myself didn't I?"

"No you reacted like anyone else would react when they heard bad news like
that. How do you feel this morning?" Johnny asked.

"I feel that this is another episode behind me in my rebirth with my new
family and everything. I must just keep focused on what lies ahead not what
has gone in the past."

Johnny was amazed at his partner's reaction and words after his display
yesterday but then realized that his training in meditation and
self-discipline had kicked in, "I love you Davey and I'm so proud of you."
Johnny told him as he kissed him and hugged him.

Looking at the clock Davey said, "Shouldn't we be at training by now? It's
a wonder Jonathon hasn't been knocking at the door by now." Johnny started
laughing and Davey wondered what he had said to cause this, "You silly
thing, for a start we are at home not at the hostel and did you forget that
Jonathon gave us the day off."

"Oh yes that's right, I remember now. Anyway we'd better get up and go down
to breakfast because I'm starving." They quickly showered and dressed
before heading for breakfast. The whole family was there and at first they
treated Davey with caution after what happened when he got the news about
Jarod, but this quickly turned to relief when they realized he was back to
his normal self.

His older brother told him that he had arranged for the publicist from his
company to contact him today with a view to putting some sort of order into
the many requests for TV, radio and press interviews. No sooner had he
finished saying this when the lady in question who was called Janet rang to
ask if Davey and Johnny would be available to fly to Los Angeles today for
an interview tonight on a new late night talk show with a guy called Jay
Leno.

Davey looked at his brother with questioning eyes who said, "Why not, they
are going to keep on and on until you agree and this is the top rating show
on TV right now, but your mother will have to go along, Janet as well to
make sure everything is above board. Plus you will have to stay overnight
and come back in the morning so you'd better clear it with Jonathon as
well."

As soon as they finished breakfast they called Jonathon who wasn't very
happy but said that was all part of the business, "I had to go through all
this before my accident and it's good that you have your brothers company
to help you along the way. The next thing will be sponsorships and
endorsements for companies which right now will be falling over themselves
to give you money."

Davey was finding all this hard to comprehend but had to cut the
conversation short and get ready for their flight to LA.  Johnny was
already throwing with the help of his mother clothes and toiletries into a
bag and Davey's mom was following suit. The next thing they knew Janet the
publicist was at the door telling them the car was waiting to take them to
the airport.

At the airport the media was waiting and Davey marveled at how quickly news
gets out. Davey, with Johnny hand in hand, along with Davey's mom and Janet
were rushed through and into first class on the aircraft for the flight to
Denver where they would have to change flights for LA. Davey couldn't get
over the attention he received on board the aircraft plus when they landed
in Denver they were rushed into the first class lounge to await their
connection which was about an hour.

As they sat in luxurious armchairs sipping on sodas and eating snack food
Davey whispered to Johnny, "I could get to like this lifestyle." Laughing
Johnny nodded his head in agreement. It was not long before they were
called to board their aircraft and of course being in first class they were
seated first. As the other passengers boarded and walked past them it was
obvious that Davey was recognized and one could hear the whispers going all
the way down the aisle.

As soon as the doors were closed and the safety checks done the captain
came on the speaker system welcoming them on board.  He then announced that
they were privileged to have on board Davey Hernandez, the first gymnast in
America to achieve perfect ten scores at the All American Championship, "He
is our World and Olympic hopeful even though he's only fourteen years old."

The whole aircraft erupted into cheers and applause as Davey sat there
blushing, still not used to all this publicity. He and Johnny during the
flight sat holding hands, not saying much and leaning over for a sneaky
kiss when they thought no one was watching.  Several people came up asking
for autographs but when the line got a bit too long Janet stopped them
saying that Davey needed to rest.

Once they landed at LA they were taken off the flight first with the
captain and his co-pilot coming out to shake their hand and wish him all
the best in Moscow and Madrid. They were rushed through the airport into a
limousine that was waiting for them because time was tight. They pulled up
at the NBC studios and were greeted by several people who appeared to be
producers of the show.

The next stop was make-up where Davey and Johnny were fussed over by a
couple of very nice ladies.  Then they were ushered into what was referred
to as the green room which neither of the boys could understand because
there wasn't the color green to be seen anywhere. Janet joined them while
Davey's mom was seated in the audience.  Janet went through what they
should say and what they should avoid talking about before saying, "I fully
expect Jay to ask for a repeat of that kiss and I will leave it up to you
two if you want to do that on television in front of about two million
viewers.

Davey shrugged his shoulders saying, "So many people have seen it over and
over again that it doesn't matter anymore." Just then the floor manager
walked in saying that they were ready for them now. Both boys were shaking
and held hands tightly as the announcer spoke their names. A spotlight came
on them as they walked forward to be met by Jay Leno who after shaking
their hands guided them over to a sofa while he went behind his desk.

The studio audience gave them a standing ovation which went on for several
minutes. Then Jay went into the interview welcoming and congratulating
Davey and so on. All the questions Davey was asked he answered calmly and
politely.  Even Johnny when asked about his relationship with Davey said
that he was very proud of his boyfriend. That of course led to the KISS
with the audience taking up the chant, encouraged by Jay and the studio
crew.  Davey made a big thing of looking at Johnny with a questioning look
and he responded with a nod before leaning over to kiss his lover. Of
course the audience went into raptures with a standing ovation and they
kept the kiss maybe just a bit longer than they should have because both of
the boys were enjoying it.

Then it was time to go to a commercial break and the boys got a big
surprise when Jay Leno announced when they came back they would hear a song
from the king of country music George Strait.  This was the boy's favorite
Texas singer, so they were looking forward to that. Once they went to a
commercial Jay thanked them for coming, shaking both their hands before
they were whisked away to have microphones removed and make up wiped off.

In the corridor they saw George Strait walking towards them and he stopped
extending his hand saying, "I'm so glad to meet you guys and
congratulations on your achievements Davey. Texas is proud of you and it's
my privilege to have met you and to shake your hand."

All Davey could do was stutter a thank you before George was rushed off to
perform his song. As he was walking away he turned and said, "I believe
we're staying in the same hotel so would you two care to join me for
supper?" Both boys and Davey's mom said they would be delighted.

One of the crew then took then quietly back into the studio so they could
watch George perform before Janet collected them to take them to their
hotel. On the way she explained that before they caught their flight back
to EP they had two radio interviews to do and a short press conference at
the airport.

The hotel itself was luxury plus and the boys marveled at the treatment
they received including a banner across the foyer welcoming them and George
Strait. The hotel security was on hand to make sure they weren't pestered
by well-wishers and a couple of anti-gay protesters who were outside waving
banners. Their rooms were on the top floor with a sitting room and a
bedroom that had a massive four poster bed. Davey's mother and Janet were
sharing a similar room next door.

They had just settled down together when a knock on the door turned out to
be one of the staff telling them that Mr. Strait would like them to join
him in his suite for refreshments. Collecting his mother and Janet the two
boys walked down the corridor to a suite similar to theirs to find George
and his band about to tuck into a meal of steak, eggs and assorted
vegetables.

George explained that he could never eat before a performance because of
his nerves but always had a big meal after.  Both Davey and Johnny then
realized they too hadn't eaten since the meal on the plane and both were
hungry. One of the hotel chefs was on hand to cook their steaks on a small
grill exactly as they liked them.

As the ate they chatted with George about his career but he was more
interested in Davey's achievements and marveled that one so young could
achieve what he has already achieved. Finally Janet interrupted them
reminding the boys that they had an early radio interview to do so they
should head for bed.

After wishing everyone a good night and thanking George for his hospitality
they headed for their own rooms. Both boys took a shower together but were
far too tired to make love except for some hot kissing.  Getting into bed
they both cuddled for a while before drifting off to sleep.  It seemed it
was like just a few minutes before they were awakened by the phone ringing
and Janet telling them if they wanted any breakfast they'd have to hurry
because their first radio interview was in less than two hours.

They hurriedly dressed and raced down to the hotel dining room where
Davey's mom and Janet were already seated and eating. Both boys ordered a
big breakfast but had to rush it a bit while Janet went through the details
of the radio interviews, "The first radio guy is anti-gay and if he tries
to get you talking at length on that subject I will pull you out right
away. The second guy is great and you shouldn't have too much trouble with
him." She explained.

A limo was waiting for them for the short drive to the first radio station.
Just as Janet predicted this guy was more interested in their sexuality
than Davey's achievements so the interview was cut short and they went onto
the next station where the guy was great and the whole interview went very
well.

>From there it was straight to the airport where a large contingent of
media was assembled in a room set aside for that purpose. The same old
questions were asked and Davey was becoming quite the expert in answering
them. Of course the kiss was mentioned several times and they were asked to
repeat it for the cameras assembled there and Johnny made every one laugh
by declaring, "It's far too early in the day for that sort of thing." And
Janet thought that was a good time to end the interview and retire to the
VIP lounge to wait for their flight to be called.

Davey's mom was bursting with pride and as they sat waiting saying, "Oh
Davey, you are getting so good at talking to people and you too Johnny, I'm
so proud of you." Blushing the both of them gave her a big kiss and a hug
before heading off to board their flight to Dallas and then onto El Paso.

Once again they were feted all the way home by the airline and crew.  They
were relieved when they arrived back in EP that no one was waiting for them
and that they were able to go home and relax for what was left of the
day. That was until Jonathon called to remind them they had to do some
running and some gym work tonight.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

While all this was going on with Davey the AIDS ward at the hospital was
busy planning a surprise celebration for Edwin. It was now two years almost
to the day when he was so viciously attacked plus it was exactly a year
since he was first admitted to the ward with that terrible disease.

So far he was the longest survivor at the hospital because the new drugs he
was testing were working quite well and were allowing him to have a normal
life. The whole event was kept secret from both Edwin and Garrett. Edwin
thought he was going in for his regular checkup while Garrett who had been
given the day off to came in with his boyfriend.

When they walked into the ward they thought it was strange because it was
in almost complete darkness.  As they went through the door the lights came
on and everyone began to clap and cheer.  The first thing Edwin noticed was
a banner strung across the ward saying `Well done Edwin, you're an AIDS
survivor of twelve months'

All the staff came up to give him a kiss and hug, wishing him continued
health with Drs. Jamieson and Evans being the last. With tears in his eyes
Dr. Evan's hugged Edwin saying, "There were times when I thought we were
going to lose you but you're here hopefully for many years to come."  The
biggest surprise of all was when rising country music superstar Josh Lopez
arrived and with just his guitar sang a couple of songs to Edwin and
Garett.

Finally as nighttime came Edwin was invited to look out of the window and a
massive fireworks display started that was sponsored by Davey's family or
at least the company they owned. The finale was a display which read
congrats Edwin.

With tears in his eyes he thanked everyone concerned for the great surprise
and can they do it all over again next year. On the way home he snuggled up
to Garrett saying how much he loved him before falling asleep.  Garrett
carried him in and put him to bed kissing him lightly on the lips before
showering and climbing in beside him.

The gang which had been responsible for the bashing and almost death of
Jason's boyfriend Francis had been identified and were now in prison
awaiting trial. While this pleased Jason, Keith and police Chief Falster,
it wasn't without incident. The thugs who beat him up came from over the
border in New Mexico and belonged to a radical neo-Nazi group.  They went
out of their way to cross the border and seek out Francis for no particular
reason except for the fact that he was the partner of a serving EP police
officer who came out to the city and the world that he was gay.

Chief Falster was happy that they had been caught and he went out of his
way to thank the New Mexico police force and also the FBI who assisted in
the arrest of these criminals. Several eye witnesses had been threatened by
other gang members and they had to have police watching them and their
property twenty four seven. This was proving to be a burden on the police
department's budget but Falster was determined not to give in to these
thugs and criminals.

The district attorney had opposed bail and luckily the bail judge was on
his side and the four who committed the crime were remanded into custody.
Now the police were after the other gang members who kept coming over the
border from New Mexico into Texas causing problems in the city. It was
proving difficult to get the New Mexico police to cooperate further without
definite proof and while the FBI was doing all it could the only answer was
for the gang to be shut down completely once and for all.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Meanwhile Luke and Pru's wedding was looming closer and closer and plans
were well advanced for the big event. Invitations had been sent out. Pru
had several fittings for her wedding dress and suits had been ordered for
Luke, Jason and Francis. Pru was having trouble deciding on bridesmaids and
Luke opted to stay right out of it. For the time being because of Francis's
bashing and other events the school visits were put on hold for a month or
so.

The honeymoon wouldn't happen until later in the year when they traveled to
Madrid Spain for the Olympics. Pru's mother had been very quiet and subdued
since her run in with Luke when she tried to take over the wedding
arrangements. Of course with a church wedding now happening she is
happier. She is yet to be told that the best man and the groomsman are both
gay and that Luke's Lesbian mother will also have a part in the ceremony
with Beth being asked to be matron of honor.

Several of the boys from the hostel had also been invited along with Davey,
Johnny and members of their family, so all in all it will be a gay
wedding. Chief Falster was also arranging unbeknown to Luke and Pru an
honor guard as they leave the church. It will have a police motorcade from
the church to the reception which was going to be held at the hostel.  The
staff and boys from the hostel will be doing the catering and waiting on
the tables.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

It was about four days later after the news of Jarod's suicide that Keith
Jamieson called the boys into his office after school and just before they
started training. He asked the boys to sit down and when they had made
themselves comfortable he began to speak, "I wasn't sure if I was going to
let you see this letter which arrived earlier today but decided that you
are sensible enough to handle anything put before you. So here is a letter
addressed to you left by Jarod when he took his own life. He left a brief
note for the prison authorities saying that he couldn't cope with life
anymore and asked them to make sure you got this letter.

I must apologize Davey that I did open it and read it to make sure that it
wouldn't upset you too much, but as I mentioned before I don't think it
will unduly effect you. Wait let me correct that of course it will affect
you but not enough to put you off your training or ruin your life's
ambitions." With that he handed over a white envelope with the words To
Davey written in big letters across it. Trembling slightly and taking deep
breaths Davey took the letter from Keith, turning it over in his
hands. Keith continued, "I would like you to read it in my presence if you
don't mind Davey, just in case you need me. Is that ok?" Davey nodded as he
finally opened the envelope taking out two pieces of notepaper.

The letter read,

My Dear Davey,

You know just how much I love you and always have. By the time you read
this I will no longer be on this earth but will always be looking down on
you from heaven, willing you on to do great things as you go on to become
the greatest athlete this country as ever known.

I hold no grudges or malice against your current coaches but will remind
you that I started you on this journey. I was the one who pushed you and
pushed you to begin winning medals and trophies. Sadly due to a family who
didn't understand your sexuality and the fact that we fell in love, a love
which I knew was wrong but still allowed it to happen. You are the only one
I ever loved with no one else coming close to the feelings I have or had
for you.

I hope as you continue on your winning way that you keep a little piece of
me in your heart. Tell young Johnny Walker that he is lucky to have someone
like you to love and to hold and he should treasure your love for ever.

My life is coming to an end because I can't see any future in my remaining
on this earth which is why I have taken the drastic action I did. I love
you Davey, always did and always will, take care and good luck.

I want to look down and see gold medals around your neck and the American
National Anthem being played as you proudly stand on that dais.

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU DAVEY.

Love for ever

Jarod.

There were tears rolling down Davey's cheeks as he read through the letter
several times before folding it up, putting it back in the envelope and
kissing it before whispering, "I will always love you too Jarod.

He then put his head on Johnny's chest, gentle sobs coming from deep
within. As he closed his eyes he clung to the young man who was the true
love of his life. Johnny too was crying softly as he hugged his partner
while Keith quietly rose and left the room, leaving the two boys to mourn
on their own for a while.

Just as he left his office Jonathon came along looking for them and Keith
explained what was happening suggesting that he delay training for another
thirty minutes or so. Jonathon agreed and went on his way while Keith
headed for the restaurant and a cup of coffee.

The two boys remained in each other's arms like that for a good twenty to
thirty minutes before Davey softly said, "You realize I will always have a
place in my heart for Jarod who I did love dearly until you came into my
life. I love you Johnny and want to spend the rest of my life with you but
Jarod will always be there as a man I loved and have now lost, you do
understand don't you?"

Johnny replied, "Of course I do Davey and I will always be here by your
side, at your beck and call, helping you all I can." They kissed gently and
then looking at his watch Davey said they had better get to training
because they were very late already.

>From then on training took over their lives as they prepared Davey for the
World Championships in Moscow. Two weeks before leaving Davey had to attend
a training camp with the rest of the American team and no mention was made
of Johnny being allowed to go. Jonathon asked about this and was told that
there was no provision for Johnny to attend. Several telephone conferences
were made before the officials gave in, naming Johnny as an assistant coach
but the family had to pay for his accommodation at the camp and for his
food and so on, which was no problem. Jonathon was named as one of the
official team coaches so he was automatically going.

At the camp they were told they would get to meet and bond with their
fellow team mates and undergo accreditations.  Making sure their visas were
in order and all that sort of thing as well as training day and night under
strict security. It was a nervous Davey, Johnny and to some extent Jonathon
who said goodbye to their parents and families for the trip to the
camp. The next time they would see them would be in Moscow at the World
Games.

The family's security team traveled with them but then they came under the
American team security and Davey's security returned home. As soon as they
arrived they received their official uniforms, training gear and other
items which went towards making them a team. It was then that Davey and
Johnny learnt Davey would be lodged in the athlete's quarters while Johnny
was in with the coaches. This was to allow the athletes to bond with each
other.

Johnny was lucky because he was sharing a room with Jonathon, while Davey
was in with Brent Underwood a twenty six year old who was attending the
World Games and the Olympics for the third time. Six foot four with dark
curly hair Brent was married with two children and he explained to Davey
that the worse part of being away in competition was not having your family
around you, "You're lucky because you have your boyfriend with you even
though you won't be able to sleep together.  At least you will see him
every day and eat meals and things with him, while us married guys or ones
with girlfriends will have to be content with a daily phone call."

Davey was worried and eventually plucked up courage to ask him the
all-important question, "Tell me Brent are you worried at all about
sleeping in the same room and being around a gay person like myself?"
Without hesitation Brent replied, "Certainly not, I count it a privilege to
be bunking with a young guy who has achieved the great things you have
already done.

We all dream of getting a perfect score like you did and I'm sure like me
the whole country is proud to have you representing America. I have heard
rumors that some of the team members aren't too happy about your sexuality
but it certainly doesn't bother me. I'm just happy to be here for a third
time. Over the past eight years I have won several bronze and a couple of
silver medals but haven't come close to what you have earned."

Davey thanked him saying, "At least you have some medals to show for your
hard work and I'm sure you have always done your best and that is all your
country can ask of you. I'm confident that you will do well at these games
and in Madrid. My Karate discipline as always helped me and I find about
twenty to thirty minutes quiet meditation before I compete is a great help
for me. If you like I can help you and teach you that over the next two
weeks."

Brent was astonished at the young guy's wisdom and was surprised that he
was willing to pass on some of the secrets of his success to him, "You
realize if you pass on your secrets to me I might well beat you in
competition." He said with a laugh.

"If you do that would be wonderful and you could retire in glory, "Davey
replied. Brent was so surprised at the humbleness of this young fourteen
almost fifteen year old, who wasn't the least egotistical regarding his
excellence as a gymnast, "Davey I think you and I going to get on great and
I will do my utmost to make the other team members see what a great guy you
are."

All Davey could do was blush and mumble a thank you in gratitude. Their
daily routine began at five am each morning with a run before a workout in
the gym.  Usually with Davey on the weights because some parts of his body
were still a bit weak following all the injuries he had received. Then came
breakfast followed by general meetings discussing what to do and what not
to do in Moscow, which was still to some extent involved in a cold war with
the United States.

They were also given some training on how to talk to the international
press and how to handle themselves during interviews. A member of the CIA
spoke to them about security and to be careful who they talk with, to never
go out alone but always in a group of six or more with a security
chaperone.

Both Davey's and Johnny's biggest problem was not seeing enough of each
other and not being able to kiss, cuddle and make love. It was driving them
both crazy and no matter how much they tried they were never alone during
the day for more than a couple of minutes. Both of them were sure this was
being done deliberately and Davey's training was suffering because of his
lack of being with Johnny Walker.

The team coaches noticed this and approached Jonathon asking them what was
wrong. Jonathon said, "He is missing some quiet time with his partner
Johnny Walker. Don't forget he is only fourteen years old, away from his
home environment and friendly faces around him. He is a brilliant gymnast,
one of the best in the world right now.  Part of his training schedule
night and day is having Johnny around him and unless you allow him more
time alone with his partner then I know he will not be performing at his
peak in Moscow or Madrid."

"That's all well and good." The team coach said, "But it wouldn't be fair
if we allowed these two young guys to live together when other team members
can't have their wives and girlfriends around them."

"I agree." Jonathon replied, "But I think a blind eye turned away on the
odd night now and then wouldn't do much harm and needn't be broadcast for
all and sundry to know about. I have spoken to Brent, Davey's roommate and
he is quite happy and willing to spend a couple of nights in my room on the
quiet if it means Davey will be performing at his peak in Moscow."

Much heated discussion followed which went on for some time until the head
coach announced that this was getting them nowhere and that he would make
the final decision and let them all know what that was in the morning.

To be continued

Writer's corner:

 Welcome back. Well this chapter was a lot of little bits and pieces
keeping us up to date on a few things such as the wedding between Luke and
Pru and the arrest of Francis's attackers.

The rest was taken up with Davey and his appearance on the Jay Leno show
his training and finally the camp before they leave for Moscow.

Then of course there was the letter from Jarod which while it upset Davey
at first also made him realize that it was time to move on and live his
life with Johnny.

We then came to the camp and the problems of the two boys being separated
and how this was effecting Davey's training. Because of his Karate
discipline this shouldn't really effect the young athlete and I wonder if
this is a bit of a scheme to get them together. Will the chief coach
realize this or give in to Davey and allow some leeway? What do you think
he should do, allow Davey to have some time with Johnny or make him toe the
line the rest of the team has to?

Please let me know what you think. Once again I love to hear from you and
will endeavor to answer all your e mails.

Hugs Trevor

Editors corner:

Well I can finally write this after I finished crying.  As most of you know
I strongly supported Jarod and felt that Davey owed him a lot.  Yes he did
something he should not have done but he was more than punished for that.
I wasn't surprised that he took his life.  I agree with his letter that he
was the one who gave Davey his start in gymnastics.  I know some of you
think of him as a child molester but I never did.  I looked at him as
someone who was in love with a beautiful young man.  Unfortunately that man
was too young according to the law.  He never meant nor caused any harm.
Remember it was Davey who pushed Jarod to make love to him.  Anyway I am
sure he will be watching Davey from above.

Now I am scared for what might happen at the wedding with members of the
gang that hurt Francis still at large.  Will they use the wedding to try
and hurt these guys?  Guess we will have to wait and see.  Remember, Trevor
tells me nothing about the future of his stories.  I only get to see a
chapter a day or two before you do so I can edit it.

I was happy to see the celebration for Edwin.  God bless him.

I don't think Davey should be given the privilege of getting with Johnny
for some "quiet" time if the other athletes don't get the same treatment.
If he falters because of that then so be it.  He is no better than any of
the other athletes.  Sorry but for my take, no special privileges.  Gays
deserve equal rights not special rights.

Well for now have a great day and do not forget to let Trevor your thoughts
about this amazing story.
