If you are offended by sex between teenage boys, Stories of the nature are not legal where you reside or you are not 18 years of age please leave now. Pride and Love We left off last chapter with Heath and Jeremy getting ready to go to bed. Just to refresh your memory Heath has been pretty much bed ridden since his fall down the stairs at his house several months ago. He suffered some head trauma and is recovering but very slowly. He is still having some motor function problems as will heal but it is not known if it will be a total or partial recovery. His friend Jeremy, also his boyfriend, moved in when Heath returned from the hospital and has been taking care of his while they were out of school. The story picks up with the boys getting ready for bed due to Jeremy having to start school in the morning. Chapter 3 The alarm went off at 6:30 am and Jeremy got out of bed went over to check on Heath. He was still asleep. Jeremy picked out the cloths that he was going to wear to school and quietly left the room closing the door behind him as to not wake Heath. Jeremy went in to shower and brush his hair and teeth and get dressed. He went downstairs to the kitchen and found a note on the table that stated, Heath's parents had already left for work and that they would be home some time after 7:00 and that dinner was in the fridge with the directions on what he needed to do. Jeremy fixed himself breakfast, cleaned the kitchen and headed back upstairs to see if Heath was awake. He quietly opened the door only to see that Heath was indeed awake. He went in and asked him what he wanted for breakfast and with a smile on his face he replied one full portion of you. Jeremy laughed and said really I want to get you breakfast before I leave and I only have about 20 minutes. Heath said just a couple slices of toast and a glass of milk would be fine. Jeremy then asked about lunch and the reply was a bologna sandwich some chips and a can of root beer. Jeremy said I will be right back and left the room and bounded down the stairs. He prepared the food and returned to the bedroom, gave Heath his breakfast and left the lunch on the stand beside the bed. Jeremy leaned over Heath and said he had to go, then kissed him lightly on the lips. He started to head for the door when he turned and said if you need anything or something should happen call my cell and I will be here as fast as I can get here. Heath said no problem followed by I LOVE YOU. Jeremy turned and said DITTO. Jeremy arrived at school with just enough time to pick up his schedule and went to the office to advised them of the situation. He went into the counselors office and waited for him to arrive. Mr. Warner came in and was surprised to see Jeremy sitting there. Mr. Warner knew Jeremy and that he had up until now been a model student. Now what could you have done already that has landed you here in my office. Jeremy proceeded to fill Mr. Warner in on all the information that was necessray and requested a copy of Heath's schedule. He planned on see all of his teachers and pick up his assignments to bring home for Heath to complete. Jeremy then headed for his first class. When he got to math he was a little late, showed the pass that was given to him by Mr. Warner, then took his seat. The bell rang ending first period, he was off and on his way upstairs to english. Third period was Gym followed by science, lunch, study hall and finally history. When he arrived in history he stopped at the teachers desk and told him what had happened and requested an early release to be able to collect Heath's homework assignments before any teachers left for the day. he then went and took his seat. He had not signed up for any sports and had planned to later in the week when the person sitting next to him asked if his girlfriend said it was ok for him to play. Jeremy looked over at the person sitting next to him and noticed it was the running back from the football team and a friend of his. Jeremy said what are you talking about. Sterling said I head your girlfriend got hirt and you were taking care of her. Jeremy turned beet red, stood up and him so hard he knocked Sterling of the seat and on to the floor. He stood over him and said if you ever talk to my that way again I will beat you to a pulp. With that Jeremy picked up his books and headed for the door. The teacher said come back here but he left the room and headed for Mr. Warner's office because he knew he was in trouble. He sat outside the office and waited to see Mr. Warner. When the door opened he walked in and sat down. He looked at Mr. Warner and started to tell him what had happened but he broke down and started to cry. Mr. Warner came around his desk and sat in the chair next to Jeremy. He said that he had talked to Heath's mom and she told him everything that had happened, she also told him all that Jeremy had done since he came home from the hospital. Mr. Warner took a hold of Jeremy's face and turned him so that he could look him in the eyes. Mr/ Warner told Jeremy that he completely understood his reaction and not to worry that we would handle the situation and that Jeremy could stay as long as he needed to compose himself. You should be very proud of yourself. Jeremy said that he had to go get the assignments to bring home for Heath. Mr Warner said for him to go ahead and go but starting tomorrow all he would have to do is to come there and Mr. Warner would have all the assignments waiting for him. Jeremy stood up and extended his hand and it was taken bt Mr. Warner they shook and jeremy left the office and headed for the classes to pick up Heath's homework. Jeremy finally had all the assignments and was leaving the school when he was approached by several of the players on the football team. they walked up to him and they told him that the next time something like that happened he would have to deal with his teammates. Jeremy looked at Sterling and said I know Most of the guys on the football team as well, they all know me and they all know heath as well so I don't think you should be shooting of your mouth. Sterling looked at Jeremy and said you had better watch yourself because this is not over. Your girlfriend will be taking care of you before to long. Jeremy said any time you think your man enough let me know. Jeremy started to walk away and Sterling said tomorrow we will settle. Jeremy turned looked at Sterling and said have your way. While Jeremy was on his way home his cell phone started to ring. He looked and saw that it was Heath. He answered it and asked what was up. Heath said that he tried to get up to go to the bathroom but lost his balance and fell. Jeremy said I will be there in 5 minutes. Jeremy hung up the phone and ran as fast as he could and when he got to the house he opened the door and was upstairs in no time. when he went into the room he saw Heath laying on the floor. He ran over to him and asked if he was alright. He looked up and said he was fine but that he had hit his face on the side of the bed. Jeremy said let me see. With that Heath turned and Jeremy saw that he was holding a rag up to his face and said you are not alright let me see what's going on here. he gently took the rag away from his face and noticed that his nose was swollen and it looked like he had two black eyes. Jeremy was starting to panic because he did not know what to do he stopped took a couple deep breaths and said let me help you to the bed. Once there Jeremy ran into the bathroom got a cold wet face cloth and brought it back and told Heath to hold it on his nose. Jeremy ran down stairs called Heath's mom told her what happened and she said to call the Fire Department and that she would meet them at the hospital. Jeremy hung up the phone then called the fire department, wrote a note put it on the door that said come in and upstairs. Jeremy ran back upstairs and checked on Heath it looked like the bleeding had stopped so he got a change of cloths and told Heath the fire department was on the way and that they were taking him to the hospital just to play safe, that his mom would meet them there He then started to take Heath's cloths off and then put the clean ones back on him. The fire department arrived and after checking Heath out they were on the way to the hospital. Jeremy stayed at the house so that he could clean up the floor and take care of the bloody cloths. Once that was done he called Heath's mom and asked how thing were. Heath's mom said that he indeed did break his nose but it would heal back just fine and that there was nothing tom worry about. She said that they would be home shortly. Jeremy said that he had put dinner in the oven and cleanup the room. It look like Heath, his mom and dinner would be done at the same time. After dinner Heath and Jeremy went upstairs. Jeremy showed him all the assignments he had. Then he turned away and broke down again. Heath put his arms around him and held him tightly and whispered in his ear, Babe go ahead and let it out you have earned it. You have been busting your ass waiting on me hand and foot. I think you need to get out and have some fun. Jeremy turned and said I feel so helpless I can not be here 24 hours a day to protect you. I feel like I have let you down. Heath pulled Jeremy's head on to his shoulder and said there is no way you could ever let me down. I am the one who let you down. You are 15 years old and you have been taking care of me like I was a baby. Jeremy looked up and smiled and said you are my baby. I am such a fool you know what I feel fine now and we will get through this and laugh about later. Heath asked how was your day at school. The look on his face told a dark story that Heath was afraid to ask. Jeremy half smiled and said don't worry I will work it out. With that they sat there in each others arms and while Heath was holding him Jeremy had falled of to sleep. He woke a little while later and said sorry. Heath just smiled and said I bet that was the best sleep you have had in a while. Jeremy smiled and said thats because i was really comfortable. It was getting late and like it or not Jeremy was going to have a full day tomorrow. He got up and started to get ready for bed. When he was ready he helped Heath get ready as well. He leaned over Heath to kiss him goodnight when Heath said I want you to sleep with me tonight. Jeremy looked at him and said are you sure I don't want to crowd you or any thing. Heath said that if he was going to br crowded he hoped it would be you. Jeremy said that if that was what Heath wanted then thats what he will get. Jeremy looked at the clock and it read 10:30. He went over and turned out the light and came back and climbed into bed with Heath. He said goodnight and Heath said goodnight and please take off your boxers. I want to feel you naked against me while I sleep. Jeremy removed his boxers and in jsut a matter of minutes Jeremy was sound asleep. Heath just laid ther hold his boyfriend and was thinking to himself that he could hardly wait till when he would be able to really show Jeremy how much he Loved him.
