It will certainly help you have a deeper appreciation for this story if you take the time to read "A New Start With Pain." But it is not necessary. -- Samual Blake, proofreader / editor Recap from Chapter 1: I smiled and looked down at the floor then up at him. I said, "Jason, I would like nothing more than to build a friendship with you. But as for anything further, that will be hard and my heart is just not ready for that." He smiled and said, "Cool and as long as you keep an open mind, I will work to help heal your heart." With that he rubbed my back and put his on the pillow, like he was sealing his promise to help heal my heart ache with a pledge. We laid there in silence for a few more minutes and then got up to walk out to find Riley sitting on the couch watching TV with a big grin on his face. We said good night and then Jason left. Riley patted the cushion next to him indicating that he wanted me to sit down. He apologized for not telling me that he told his friends about our past and that he did not get the chance to tell Jason. I told him there was nothing to be sorry for and that Jason told me that he had Googled us and knew everything that has happened to us. I also told him all the details of the conversation that Jason and I just had. Riley was very happy for me. He gave me a big hug and then we went to bed. I had a very good sleep that night. Chapter 2: - Devon's POV Jason and I hung out together just about every day since our little pizza party. Along with Riley, the three of us had a few classes together so we started a study group. It was a big help to Riley because of his football practices and games. We all maintained a B average in our shared classes. Jason was fast becoming a good friend and he was very understanding of me as well. I was feeling sad one day and Jason asked what was wrong. I replied, "It might be silly of me but I am feeling sad in behalf of Riley. He is not dating anyone or has any female companion that I know of. I think he might be getting lonely." Jason understood my concern and suggested, "Let's ask Samantha to join our group for tonight's study time and see if we can't get the ball rolling." Now Samantha is about Riley's height and has blue eyes and a soft face and a beautiful hourglass figure. Jason knew her well enough to know her likes and dislikes. He felt that Riley and Samantha would be a good fit. When Riley got back we told him there was a new addition to our study group, that a friend of Jason's by the name of Sam would be joining us. He said that sounds great and went off to take a shower. Jason called Sam and she agreed to join our group. It was our plan to have Riley answer the door when she knocked. Jason and I set up the room for our group with the usual snacks and drinks. When there was a knock on the door I yelled, "Riley could you get the door please." He came out of his room in gym shorts and a tee shirt and bitched at us for being lazy. When he opened the door he had a "deer in the head lights" look on his face. Jason and I chuckled. He was beet red. Samantha extended her hand to introduce herself. Riley snapped out of his daze and shook her hand and said, "I am so sorry. I was caught off guard because I was expecting a guy named Sam not a beautiful woman." Now it was Sam's turn to blush. She thanked him and walked on in. Jason and I were laughing at them, especially Riley. I walked over to stand in front of Riley and whispered, "I suggest that you go put on something else." I pointed down at his boner. His cock was so hard that his gym shorts were pulling away from his body. He face turned beet red. He quickly said, "Please excuse me for a few minutes. I'll be right back." He came back in jeans and we started our study session. Well it did not seem like we accomplished much in regards studying that evening. Riley and Samantha spent a lot of time studying each other!! They hit it off so well that by the end of the night they made plans to go out on a date. I was elated. After Sam left and Riley was off to his room, Jason was getting ready to head out when I stopped him. I asked him to stay for a few more minutes so he sat down on the couch with me. "Jason, I am ecstatic to have you as my friend. Please do not to give up hope for us as a couple. You need to know that I still need some time to sort out my head and heart. You are the tape that is holding it all together for me." Then I leaned over, took him into a hug and kissed his cheek. We said our good nights and he left with a smile. As I got ready for bed I felt peace and joy for possibly helping Riley find a girlfriend. We all were having a good time as the weeks went on. Jason, Sam and I attended Riley's home games and we won most of the time. We talked about going to the next away game since that was the Saturday before Thanksgiving. We agreed to talk about it more when we got together next. I was on my way back to our room when I was stopped dead in my tracks when I saw cops swarming around our door. Of course I immediately asked one of the cops what was up. The cop said that they got a 911 call for a break in and when they arrived the door had been kicked open. I texted Riley to let him know but I then realized that he would not get my message until after football practice. The cops allowed me to enter our room. It was trashed but it did not look like anything was missing. But just about everything was damaged or ruined including our TV and entertainment system. Luckily we had our laptops with us. I looked in Riley's room and it was trashed big time. His X Box and personal TV were destroyed. I went into my room only to discover that it was trashed even worse! My personal TV, radio and mini refrigerator were destroyed. My clothes were tossed all over the place. And worst of all my "Kurt" pillow was damaged. When I saw that my heart sank. The cops questioned our neighbors up and down the hallway. One of the cops reported back to me that a young lady towards the end of the hall saw a person exit our room as she was heading towards her room but that she had never seen him before. He told me that they would continue to investigate the case and keep us posted of any developments. After the cops left I started to clean up the common room and just kept moving in a fog until I heard my phone beeping. I found a text from Riley saying he was on his way back to the dorm with the guys. I did not take the time to even respond. A few minutes later as I was picking up the remains of the TV I heard "What the fuck!!" I turned and saw Riley and Jefferson and some other team members as well as Jason standing in the door way. I said, "Welcome to hell." and pointed to his room and mine. The group took a look and Riley said to me that my room looked the worst. I just closed my eyes and told him, "Yes, but you have yet to see the worst of it." I took Riley into my room and showed him the damaged pillow. He took me into a hug and told me he would fix things. Everyone helped us clean up the mess. They even helped me get all my clothes washed. The building manager came to our room with a maintenance crew to put in a new door that could be locked with a deadbolt. By the time we finished cleaning up it was almost midnight. We were completely whipped out. Riley grabbed a bag and told me he would be back shortly. He asked Jefferson and Jason to please hang out until he got back. I knew he was concerned for me. But as soon as he left I tried to persuade the guys to go ahead and leave. I told them that there was no need for anyone to hang in a room with nothing to do. But the guys said, "No worries. We will order a pizza and chat until Riley gets back." Jefferson made a phone call to someone and Jason placed an order for the pizza. I left the common room to go make Riley's bed along with mine. As I was finishing up I heard a knock on the door. I just assumed it was the pizza delivery guy. I went into the common room and found some other guys from the team installing a new TV and X Box. I was floored and asked Jefferson, "What is all of this?" He said, "When Riley told the team that your room had been vandalized and robbed we took up a collection to replace the TV and the gamming system." I was floored and expressed that I was very grateful. The pizza arrived. Riley was not far behind it. I asked, "Riley, where did you run off to?" His reply was simply, "Devon, please just stop worrying about it." He saw the new TV and gamming system and thanked Jefferson and his friends for their help and told them that he would also thank the whole team at practice tomorrow. After Jefferson and his friends left I asked Riley, "What was in the bag you took?" With a little bit of frustration but yet a smile, he looked at me and said, "Did I not just say please stop worrying about it?" Jason helped with more of the clean up from being ransacked and then he helped me put the clothes away that we brought back from the laundry. By the time we were finished it was a little after 1 am. All of us were wiped out. I said, "Jason, as late as it is, why don't you just spend the night with us rather than go back to your room?" He smiled big time and agreed. We laid down in my bed and I held Jason in the spoon position. I felt guilty but at the same time it also felt good to hold someone again. I fell into a deep sleep. But it was not long before I woke up yelling from a terrible nightmare. Both Jason and Riley came running in to my bedroom. I could not remember my bad dream but I was wet with sweat. Jason said he had just stepped out of the bedroom a few minutes ago to go to the bathroom when all of a sudden I started yelling. He sat down next to me on the bed, held me and ran his hand up and down my back. Riley knelt down in front of me and told me everything was going to be okay. I told them I was too tired to go to classes today and just wanted to stay in bed and rest. They both said that was okay. I crawled back under the covers. Riley went back to his bedroom. Jason felt I would rest better if I slept for the rest of the night by myself. So he went ahead and left to go back to his room. I was able to go back into a deep sleep and woke up around noon. I got up, washed my face, left to find something to eat at the student union and then headed off to my class that started at 2:00. After class I went to the library to study. I was not there too long before I received a text from Jason asking if I would meet up with him for dinner. I agreed. He told me to meet him in the lobby of the dorm at 6:30. As I was packing up my stuff I sent Riley a text to let him know that I going to have dinner with Jason. He responded with, "Have fun!" I found Jason in the lobby waiting for me. He took me to a nice Chinese restaurant and we had a really good meal. When the bill came I pulled out my wallet but Jason said, "Devon, this is on me. I want to do this for you. You have just been thru a really bad experience." As we walked back to the dorm we continued to talk and nurture our relationship. When we got close to the dorm I turned to Jason, kissed him on the cheek and thanked him for diner. He smiled and told me I was welcome. When we arrived at Riley's and my room we saw that the door was slightly open. We walked in and I called out for Riley but got no answer. As I entered the common room I saw Jefferson napping on our couch. I chuckled and woke him up and asked, "Hey Jefferson, what's up?" End of Chapter 2. Chapter 3 is a work in progress. Be on the lookout for it. Frank left me hanging just like he did all of you. I have no idea why Devon is so pissed off. I will find out when I start to proofread Chapter 3. He has not sent it to me yet. Hopefully as soon as Chapter 3 is posted to Nifty the mystery will be solved.
