After letting Aaron have his fireworks, we drifted off to sleep. We didn't hear my parents come in. Before we knew it, we were both being shaken awake by Mom and Dad. Here it comes, there's going to be no stopping it this time. We really fucked up. How could I be so dumb to let myself fall asleep cuddled up next to Aaron in the same bed? And that was only the topping. We were both naked. This is exactly what my parents have been dreading. Sure they may have been ok with me being gay, but I doubt they were ready for the sexual aspect of the relationship.

"Mom and Dad let me explain." I stated.

"Explain what Jarryed? It seems apparent to both your mother and I exactly what went on here tonight." Dad said.

"Mr. and Mrs. Christoff, this is my entire fault. When you let me in this morning Mrs. Christoff, Jarryed was still sleeping. I crawled into bed next to him and went to sleep myself. Jarryed woke me up by kissing me. I am so in love with Jarryed that I couldn't control myself this morning. Things got way out of hand. We had sex. Jarryed didn't do anything to me until tonight." Aaron said looking at me depressed.

"Have you two boys thought about the consequences of what you did?" Dad asked.

"Dad, it was just oral. I love Aaron and he loves me. We are boyfriends. We wanted to share this part of ourselves with each other."

"Jarryed, we are not happy with your behavior. Aaron, I believe it is time for you to go home. We will leave the room so you can get dressed. I will also be calling your parents to let them know what happened here tonight." Dad said.

Aaron crawled out of bed. He got dressed and looked back at me with tearful eyes. We knew right then and there that things have taken a turn for the worse possibly. Things have been going so well during the last week too. How bad are things going to get? Am I going to get grounded? All these thoughts started going through my mind as I got dressed.

"Son, we know that you wanted to show Aaron what he showed you." Dad stated.

"Dad, what's so hard about showing someone how much you love them?"

"There's nothing wrong with it, but you're 15 young man. Fifteen year olds should not be having sex." Dad said angrily.

"Dad, this is my life. I cannot change who I am. I love him. Why is it so hard for you to comprehend that when you love someone there is a part of yourself that you share with them?"

"Jarryed, we understand that you love him. I am not asking you to change who you are. We want you to be sure that this is the right thing. You two have only known each other just over a week now. How much do you actually know about him?"

"Quite a bit Dad. The reason he moved here was because people found out about him being gay at his old school. He had to finish last year on home schooling. He was constantly harassed. He came here to start a new life."

"Do you think that when people find out about you, they won't do the same thing to you?"

"That's the thing Dad. A lot of my class already does know. If mom could tell just by the way Devin and I looked at each other, other people know too. Hell, Zack knows. And he is one of my best friends."

"Your friends will judge you. If they have problems with it, then they weren't really your friends were they? All you life, you will be judged by the company you keep and how well you keep that company. Are you really sure this is what you want? You are still young, there is still a chance that you may like girls."

"I have never felt anything towards a girl as I do when I am with boys. Sure, there may be that chance someday. I am sorry to disappoint you Dad, but I can't change the way I feel about Aaron."

"I see. I am not going to get in the way of you and Aaron. Please son, use your better judgment when it comes to the sexual part of this relationship."

"I'm sorry Dad. I guess my emotions got the better part of me tonight. Things in our relationship have gone to the next level with what happened. I am not ready for everything yet."

"That's good to hear. Now get some rest son, we have a long day coming up. Be sure to set your alarm. We're leaving at 10am."

"Already done."

"Good night Jarryed."

"Night Dad. And thanks for being considerate of how I feel."

"Just be careful the next time."

Wow, what a strange turn of events. I was thinking I was going to get grounded, but it turned out that Dad actually listened to what I had to say. I can see where he is coming from though.

I turned on my computer hoping that Aaron would be on. I logged into Yahoo Messenger and saw that Aaron was on.

Jarryed: Hey sexy.

Aaron: Hi.

Jarryed: What are you doing?

Aaron: Thinking about you and how I fucked everything up.

Jarryed: You didn't fuck anything up. How did things go with your parents?

Aaron: Just fine, they are not upset with me one bit. Guess they have a better understanding of this lifestyle than your father.

Jarryed: I know, my dad flipped a little, but I think I got him to see a part of me and how I feel. He wants me to be sure that this is what I want. He is afraid that something will happen when we go back to school I'm thinking. He wants to make sure this is what I want.

Aaron: I know where he is coming from seeing how my life got flipped upside down. I know that I want you.

Jarryed: And I want you so bad. Do you know how much I love you?

Aaron: Yea I do. I feel the same way. Things are so much clearer to me than ever before. It's almost like that we are meant to be together. Are we still going tomorrow?

Jarryed: Yea, be ready cuz we are leaving at 10am.

Aaron: Great, I'll see ya in the morning baby.

Jarryed: Luv ya sexy babe.

Aaron: I love you too baby. See ya in the morning.

I logged off messenger. I sat there for awhile thinking about what Dad had said. There might be a chance that I like girls? Eww, just that thought grosses me out. Sure I have friends who are girls, but to think about them sexually is most unattractive to me. I stayed up to 2AM that night thinking about what my dad had said. He did make some good points. How am I gonna handle this relationship when school starts again? I've got plenty of time to think about that. I want to think about Aaron and I right now. It's not everyday that I come across someone as wonderful as he is. We are building that connection deep down to know what one another is thinking. Things have only gotten better and better. Before I knew it I drifted off to sleep.

I was rudely awakened by the sharp beeping of the alarm clock. It's 8am already. I crawled out of bed and headed to the bathroom to relieve my morning wood affliction and to take a quick shower. Oh how I hate mornings. I must have spent at least a half hour in the shower. After getting out and drying off, I heard a knock on the door.

"Are you ok in there Jarryed?" Mom asked.

"Yea Mom, I just got out of the shower."

"Ok honey. Breakfast is on the table."

Hearing that breakfast was on the table got me moving. I streaked across the hall and into my room. Throwing on boxer briefs, jean shorts, and an Abercrombie T shirt, I headed downstairs.

"Morning Mom." I said hugging her.

"Wow, did I do something to deserve that?"

"Nope. Can't I give you a hug just cuz I want to?"

"Sure honey. You startled me that's all."

"After the little talk with Dad last night, I feel that you need one. I have been selfish."

"Stop that nonsense right now. You are not selfish."

"Then what do you call it? I was only thinking of myself last night and not how you would react."

"Jarryed honey, there is no need to discuss this with me. You father needs time to adjust to this. I'm sure in time, he will be alright."

"But what about you Mom? How do you feel?"

"I'm fine with it. I have been doing some research on the subject at the library. I guess I have a better time dealing with things than your father. He is still edgy about what happened. Keep things quiet and you'll be ok."

"Ok Mom."

I sat at the table and started eating the pancakes, toast, jelly, and sausage that Mom had prepared. Sausage? Hmm, I would love to get my hands on Aaron's sausage again. Ok, I have a sick mind this morning. What else is there to think about?

Knock knock I heard at the front door. Opening the door, I saw my boyfriend standing there.

"Morning baby." Aaron said.

"Hey there sexy."

"Did you sleep ok last night? You look a little tired."

"Not really. I was up thinking about things last night. Then before I knew it, I was rudely snapped out of my sleep by my dumb alarm clock." I paused for a few seconds before I said "Come on in."

"Thanks, thought you would never ask." He said laughing.

As we headed back into the kitchen, I once again sat at the table.

"Do ya mind if I finish eating? If you want something, just help yourself."

"Nah, go ahead. I already ate."

Aaron sat across the table and watched as I wolfed down the rest of my food. After rinsing off my dishes, I placed them in the dishwasher.

"Mom, we're heading up to my room."

"Ok, we'll call you when we're ready to leave."

"Alright Mom."

Grabbing Aaron by the hand, I led him up to my room. As soon as the door closed, we embraced. Running my hands all over his back and ass, I started growing hard. We were lip locked as we walked over to my bed.

"I miss you so much when you're not here." I stated.

"I know how you feel. It's like I am missing a part of me."

I leaned in and kissed him again not knowing what to say.

No more words were said. We enjoyed the moment of each others company that we didn't have all night long. Time flew by. Before we knew it, it was time to leave for the park. Why does time go by so slow at times, then on the other hand when you're with your boyfriend, it flies? It seems that there aren't enough hours in the days that we spend together.

We loaded up the SUV. Everyone piled in, and then we were off to the park. We found a small pavilion and parked near there. Aaron and I unloaded the hibachi, lawn chairs, and everything else from the back of the Navigator. Much of the rest of the morning was spent tossing the ball around with our dads and playing horseshoes.

Lunch time came as my dad fired up the hibachi. Dad was the barbeque expert. In no time, the charcoal was turned into coals. We had hot dogs, hamburgers, potato salad, macaroni salad, just about everything for a normal Fourth of July cookout.

Later that afternoon, we headed over to the baseball fields. We jumped into a game with some other kids that were there. One of those kids happened to be Jon Davis. Oh shit I thought to myself. Here I was facing my worst fear of the summer.

"Hey faggot" he yelled.

"Is that the best insult you can come up with Davis?" I snapped back.

"Fag boy has an attitude. Think I am going to have to adjust your attitude Christoff." He said as he started walking towards me with a baseball bat in hand.

"What the hell is your problem dude?" Aaron asks getting in between the two of us.

"This doesn't concern you."

"I think it does. You have a problem with him, you got a problem with me." Aaron boldly stated.

"The fag boy has a butt buddy." He said winding up with the bat in his hands.

Just as Jon was about to swing the bat at Aaron, I stepped up to the plate so to speak and landed a right hook across his face. Jon stepped back with a look of anger in his face. Not good I was thinking, I just pissed him off even more.

With all the screaming and yelling going on from the other kids, parents started showing up at the ball field. Jon was about to swing the bat at me. Before he could, one of the parents grabbed the bat from behind.

"The game is over, all you boys go back to your parents" The man stated.

As Aaron and I were walking away, I heard Jon yell something towards my direction.

"This isn't over by a long shot Christoff!"

We kept walking as we didn't want to bring any more attention to ourselves than we already had.

The rest of the day was uneventful until the fireworks started at 10pm. Aaron and I were just outside the pavilion sitting on the ground. It was dark. The only light was from the exploding shells above.

Just as the grand finale started, Aaron leaned over and planted the most exhilarating kiss that he has ever laid on me. I instantly went hard. Returning the kiss, we began to grope at each others crotches. Just then we heard a whisper from behind. It was Aaron's father.

"You boys be careful. There are a lot of people around."

"Sorry Dad, it seems so right to tell the world about us."

Nothing else was said until we got the Navigator loaded up and were on our way home.

"I don't think anyone saw you two but you better be more careful with the public displays of affection." Mr. Maxwell spoke.

"What's wrong with PDA Dad? I want to so much for the world to know."

"After what we went through in Monroeville, are you sure want to out yourself?"

"I don't know Dad. I love Jarryed with all my heart, but is the world ready for me to tell my secret?"

"That is up for to decide son. That is a question that only you can answer."

All the time while listening to Aaron and his father, my love was growing deeper and deeper. Finally I had found someone who had no worries. Devin was afraid to let this side of himself show unless we were alone. The love between us was strong, but on the other hand he was afraid of who he was. We had a great friendship, but all that came crashing to an end just over a month ago. In the last week, my life went from one of misery to one of pure joy.

EDITOR'S NOTE:

Sorry it took so long to get chapter 5 out there. Things have been really hectic as of late. None of these chapter are pre written. I write when I get the time to.

Jon arrived on the scene again. The tension has grown between the two. What does Jon have in store? What else is he planning? Where was Zack at? The only way to find out is to keep reading. Chapter 6 will be coming soon.
