Subject: Mike Our Star Player III

From the last part of the story:After Mike's dad took over as head coach we
had three games in a row all on the road, and mean while his friends
finished the new stadium that was named after both Mike and his dad by
using their last name in front of the word stadium. So New Town now has a
state of the art football stadium named Warner Stadium.  Well its time to
head off to study and Mike asked me to tell you all that the next entry
will be through his view.

Once dad took over as the head coach of New Town High football team, and
got the rest of the returning players back he had a surprise for all of
them. Dad had taken the opportunity to call in a few IOU's to get some
former teammates to work as assistant coaches on the team.  Yeah he was
going to run this team just like they do in the NFL he told both the
Varsity and JV team players.  That meant having a Quarterback, Running
Back, Receivers, along with special coaches to work with the defense as
well.  We also found out that on Saturday or Sunday's that the team was to
report to the house to go over the video of the previous game played, that
was to be followed by watching our next opponents previous game to break it
down both offensively as well as defensively.

I was getting allot closer to Mark ever since his dad threw him out of the
house after he told him that he was gay. Mark was not just another teammate
to me, but he has become my high school lover.  During a chat with dad I
told him that we needed to get Mark more involved since his folks no longer
cared for him, also due to the fact that Mark was sliding from a 4.0 gpa
student to just barely 2.0 to be able to play football.  One night as we
laid on the bed cuddling, I asked him what was bothering him that his
grades had suffered so badly. Mark's response was surprising to both me and
dad. He told me that he answered the phone before my dad had gotten home
from practice, and the message said," We want you to take over as Head
Coach of our NFL-Euro football team here in Amsterdam."  He than told me
that he hoped that I would be a star over there as well as I had been last
year for the high school team.

His comment took me by surprise. So I talked dad about situation with Mark,
and how I had a feeling that he felt as if he was going to be left all
alone again. In my own opinion his parents where really a pair of assholes,
especially when they came out in support of my mom and former coach Darr.

I told dad that there was no way that I would leave Mark because he is my
boyfriend, lover and the best tutor that any dumb jock like myself could
hope to find.  If it had not been for Mark helping me with my classwork as
well explaining how to make it all simple for me to understand, and pass my
tests myself with the exception of Chemistry.

We played The Franklin High School Indians in their homecoming game, which
we ruined for them by shutting them out 48 -0 with Mark setting new school
records as well breaking an old prep record that was set by a player from
Calvert Hall some 10 years ago.  Mark played both tight end as well as wide
receiver in the game, and between the two of us we played pass, and catch
with Mark catching 5 TD passes for just under 300 yards to top it off he
rushed for the last TD ( touchdown) with a 20 yard run after I latteralled
the ball to him.

I was happy for Mark, but was upset with the Prep Reporter who had named me
as "Star of the Week" after that game, and I called him to inform him that
he had chosen the wrong player to be the star of the week. This seemed to
shock him because I had taken all of them the year before with the
exception of the first week of last seasons games, but I told him that Mark
was more deserving of the award along with the money that went into a
college fund to help offset any costs the player may occur.  The next day
there was a picture of Mark on the front page of the sports section with
the following headline: The True Star of The Week with Mark's picture
underneath it, also all the high school records that he had broke in the
game against Franklin.  It shocked me to see that he had actually broke
over 10 records and some where 20 years old that Mark had broke in that
game.

I went to wake him up on Saturday in our normal way, by giving him the best
blow job that he had ever had in his short life. Man did I really love Mark
and not just cause of the sex which is GREAT, but because he was just an
all around super loving guy. The major problem was he was no where in the
house to be found causing me to yell, : DAD HE IS MISSING !!!!

Dad knew how I felt towards Mark and got up than called the cops, his
buddies to help locate Mark.  I was afraid that his parents had kidnapped
him during the night, but they also showed that they seemed to care about
the son that they had thrown out like the trash on collection day.  It took
us all day to look for him before one of his former classmates told us that
as a youngster when Mark got upset he would hide in a tree house, and mot
of the time he spent there was after his dad either had forced him to go to
a dance with some girl or after he had beaten Mark.

My blood was getting to a boiling point especially after hearing that his
dad had beaten Mark with a leather strap. I was given the directions to the
tree house. So I started off towards the treehouse while thinking of a way
to ruin his mom and dad since they never said a word that he liked to go to
this treehouse.  I found it and upon entering it saw a sight that made me
ill.  My best friend, boyfriend, lover Mark was laying nude in a puddle of
blood with welts all over his body. I called dad on my cellphone telling
that I found him, but needed an ambulance ASAP because Mark had been
beaten, also was bleeding from a belt that laid there in the corner next to
him.  Dad along with the cops, medical personnel arrived in a few mins, but
when I saw Mark's dad I accused him of doing this to Mark. Once he had been
taken to the hospital with me riding with him in the ambulance, and dad
requested that the police call it a crime scene since Mark's dad had
withheld any knowledge of the teehouse for close to three hours. Upon
hearing that they decided to take the man into custody to finger print him
as there where fingerprints on the belt as well as in the blood that had
dried on Mark's back.

While I stayed next to Mark's side I promised him that if he got better as
soon as the school had a dance that we would attend as a couple, and I told
him also that from now on he was truly my "Star Player" besides loving him
as boyfriend and lovers.

I had to go back to school and get ready for our next game, but I asked Dad
if we could all wear Mark's number on our helmets and jersey because as far
as I am concerned New Town was going to dedicate the season to our injured
teammate. Every player thought that would be a great idea, and I was not
really listening when one player suggested that we ask for a moment of
silence before the start of our game, especially the homecoming game.  When
I turned to see who suggested that to thank them I got a surprise as it was
Mark sitting in a wheelchair over near the door next to the receiver coach.

He flashed that sexy smile of his at me, and than said," I am injured not
dead, so lets go out there and win another state championship, but
tonight's game is first of all important as it was against rival Owings
Mills HS.  God I loved his smile more than anyone knew, but I felt like a
burden had been removed as I was told by dad the doctors told him that Mark
maybe able to play in the last three games of the season ( playoffs and
state championship). I walked over to Mark to hug him and was going to just
whisper to him that I loved him so much, but instead I walked over to him
asking him in my loud voice," Hey sexy you do realize that I love you and
still want you to be my date at the homecoming dance."

The game was dedicated to Mark who served as special captain for the team
the rest of the regular season. He won every damn coin toss for us, how I
could never know.  Easy he told me its just a matter of chance its always a
50/50 chance to win it.

Like I stated earlier in my version of what has happened Mark was able to
return to the team, but he went through some tough conditioning as well as
homophobic comments by the idiots at New Town.

I was glad to have my boyfriend, lover back at the house.  Even though I
knew that Mark could not have anal sex until the doctors gave him the all
clear to return to his normal activities.  Mark surprised me by asking me,"
Mike would your dad become my legal guardian?"  I asked him what caused
that question to be asked. Mark told me that his mom had contacted her
brother-in-law a retired baseball player to take me in while she went
through the court system, and he told me that his uncle was worse than his
father when it came to dealing with gays.  Hold on buddy let me ask dad
now.

I went upstairs to explain the situation that Mark had described to me,
along with his request that you dad become his legal guardian.  Dad, I
could see how scared Mark was at the thought of having to move to his
uncle's home somewhere in Okalahoma.

He called Mark upstairs to discuss the situation after he called his lawyer
and former agent to see if Mark could be emancipated from his family, and
have him because his legal guardian for medical reasons.  Dad, told both of
us to take a seat as his former teammate Bubba was going to be stopping by
soon with their agent/lawyer to discuss what would be the best thing for
Mark.  I just wrapped him up in my arms as I could feel him starting to
shiver, when ever he thought of having to leave us to move in with his
uncle.  Mark seemed to calm down as I promised that it be cold day in hell
before he was taken away from this his home, and forced to move to another
homophobic idiots home.

Uncle Bubba as I always referred to him arrived in his new BMW with 2
gentlemen that I had never seen before, but they knew dad real.  After the
introductions had taken place Bubba took me out back to play catch while
his and dad's lawyer/agent talked to Mark in private about what had
happened, and what where he wanted to live and why.  Bubba could tell that
I just was not into tossing the football back and forth, and decided to ask
me what I wanted for Mark. Oh man a trick question I thought, but he was
serious when he repeated the question," Mike what do you really want for
Mark?"  I finally told him after thinking about it for a short time than
told him that I wanted Mark to have a loving home. Just like he has had
ever since his dad threw him out just because he is gay. I love him not
just as a friend, but also as both a boyfriend and lover.  I then told
Bubba something that I had not even told Dad, and that was I had fallen for
Mark a couple of years back. I told all the girls at school that I was not
interested in dating cause I had found my significant other, and I just let
it drop there.

After about 3 hours, Dad called me back upstairs where he introduced me to
the agent and lawyers before telling me that they had talked to Mark's
parents in jail about signing away their parental right to Mark. His dad
had signed without asking where he was going to live, because he did not
want a fag to have his name. The mother was more hesitant until she found
out the number of years that she faced for allowing all the beatings and
withholding important information from the Police.  Ok dad so they signed
papers what does that mean about Mark and his wish to be able to stay here
with us.

One of dad's lawyers than said," Mike it clears the way for the courts to
grant your dad request to become Mark's legal guardian." YES !!!! I did not
want his asshole uncle to have any access to Mark or take him away.  They
could tell that I was happy about what they had just been told, but Mark
was asleep in the fetal position as he was worn out.  I also heard that
since this involved both parents going to trial, that Mark would not have
been able to leave the state as he had to testify against both parents.  Oh
my poor Mark he has to relive this over two more times before he is totally
free of both his parents, but the greatest thing was that Mark was going to
be staying here with me.

I went back to the bedroom where Mark was sleeping and stripped before
crawling in next to him even if was just to cuddle with him, because he
still had not gotten clearance to return to his normal activities.  Just
having his smooth body next to me was enough to keep me going strong, and
he truly was my Star Player whether he played football or whatever. I maybe
the star player on the football team, but in my mind Mark was really the
star for taking all the abuse his mom and dad had put him through over the
years.

I have to go before I get too upset thinking about what could have happened
to my boyfriend and partner Mark.


In the next chapter it will be a few weeks later and New Town is close to
having another undefeated season.
