   Once again, here's the disclaimer. This is my first attempt at writing
this type of story, so when you e-mail me please be kind. Comments will be
greatly appreciated.

   This story is completely fictional. Any similarities to any persons or

sexual situations between young males. Finally as I said before if this
type of story offends you, boy are you in the wrong place or what?

   I know, the first chapter was kind of short. I just didn't want to bore
anyone with too many details until I set the hook. I do plan on doing a
little bit of character development from this point on, and like I said,
I'm kind of new at this so please be gentle.

Allen - by tim
Part 2


   It was a long walk home for Calvin that night. Just what the hell was
that about tonight? Why did Allen have to do that to him? And why did he
over-react so drastically? After all, he never could quite shake the
feelings he got when he saw a really cute boy. Many times these feelings
would cause a reaction that he wished more than anything he could
control. It's not like he disliked the stirrings he got in his groin when
he saw someone who turned him on, but why did it have to be boys?
Especially why did it have to be Allen? Tonight made it all too real for
Calvin. Nothing was ever easy for Calvin, it just couldn't be could it?

   Calvin could remember as a child always being knocked around by his
father, who was a men's Golden Gloves district champion and an alternate
for the 1984 Olympic boxing team. Robert Wilson just couldn't let his son
grow up to be some kind of sissy, so he had to toughen Calvin up for his
own good. It's not like he tried to hurt Calvin, just make sure he could
handle himself like a man, that's all. When young Calvin became interested
in boxing and went out for junior Golden Gloves it made Robert so proud,
but what he didn't know is that Calvin felt he had to. He had to do
something to be able to protect himself from his dad.

   Then a few years ago Calvin started having feelings that were definitely
sexual in nature, but to his shock these feelings tended to happen only
when he was around other boys. He knew his dad would kill him if he ever
found out about this, so Calvin immediately learned how to keep most of
these feelings inside where no one would ever see them, or so he
thought. He did feel that he was able to shake any suspicion and pass it
off as the other kid being too horny and imaginative for their own
good. But Allen's question couldn't be shrugged off so easily, after all
Allen was one of his best friends. At least Allen never went around acting
like he was scared to death to cross him, and Calvin really needed
that. Besides, Allen would always just say what was on his mind, at least
until recently. Calvin also had to admit Allen was really cute and REALLY
hot, at least Calvin thought so.

   When Calvin caught his thoughts turning to how he really felt about
Allen he suddenly dropped to his knees alongside the empty and lonely
street and screamed out "OH NO! What have I done?!"

   Meanwhile, back at the Cooper home Emily had her hands full with two
boys. One, very frantic and confused and the other one, unconscious and
bleeding. "Here," Emily commanded her son Rusty, "hold this towel to
Allen's face while I call the paramedics."

   "Okay mom" Rusty almost cried, "please hurry!" Then Rusty turned to his
friend, gently sobbing and said in a low voice "Why did I let you go
through with this? I should have been there for you. Why would Calvin react
this way to you?" Rusty knelt there at his friends side now almost crying
and said "Please don't go away on me. I promise he won't get away with
this."

   Mrs. Cooper almost had to pry Rusty away from Allen when the paramedics
arrived to begin working on Allen. As soon as the paramedics had him in a
collar and all hooked up and loaded they hauled ass to the hospital, with
Emily, Rusty, and his younger sister Beth following as best they
could. When they arrived at the hospital Allen was in the emergency room
being attended to by a herd of doctors. A nurse was waiting for Emily with
a stack of paperwork.

   The nurse asked "are you the parent?"

   "No," explained Emily, "I'm a friend of the family. I've tried to get in
touch with Allen's parents, but I haven't had any luck so far."

   "Well," droned the nurse, "we have to talk to a parent about his
treatment and this paperwork that needs to be filled out."

   "Mom," interrupted Rusty, "we may have to get dad involved in this."

   "Now why exactly would we need to get a DCF caseworker involved in
this?" asked Emily. "We need to talk about this right now young man."

   "Well," said Rusty, "I know what Allen was doing tonight. He was having
a talk with his parents and Calvin Wilson. His parents had to have been
there when this happened."

   As Mike Cooper was pulling into the emergency room parking lot he was
wondering to himself what his son and his son's friends have gotten into
this time. First he checked on Allen's condition and anything the hospital
staff could tell him, then he set off toward the waiting room to talk to
his son.

   "So son," Mike started asking, "what is going on here? While we're at
it, why can't anyone find Allen's parents? Please keep in mind son, your
mother overheard some of what you said to Allen before the paramedics
arrived."

   "I talked to Allen yesterday." said Rusty. " He was going to talk to his
parents and Calvin tonight. He wanted to tell Calvin and his parents
tonight that he is gay and in love with Calvin. I told him it was a great
idea because everyone at school seems to know that Calvin is gay too. I
should have told him to be careful because someone might not have taken the
news as well as he hoped they would. I just couldn't see why Calvin would
do something like this, and I don't know why his parents wouldn't have
stopped it. I'm so sorry dad." Rusty was in tears by the time he finished
telling his dad the story of what he knew.

   "Don't worry about it son," consoled his dad as he put his arm around
his son's shoulders. "This is not your fault, and you couldn't have had any
idea that this would have happened."

   "Yeah dad," replied Rusty, "but I failed my best friend when he needed
me the most."

   "You did no such thing Russ." said Mike. "Like I said you had no way of
knowing this would happen. If you had advised Allen not to do this, he may
have felt you were interfering with his life because you were uncomfortable
with his sexual orientation and didn't want to see him with a
boyfriend. You wouldn't have wanted that to happen, would you?"

   "No dad," said Rusty, "but that wouldn't have happened anyway. Allen
knows I've never had a problem with him being gay. He's the best friend
anyone could ever have, and he would have known I couldn't possibly feel
that way."

   "Right now you're just assuming he wouldn't have felt that way," said
Mike, "but there's no way of knowing that for sure. Anyways, I don't want
you to confront anyone about this. Please son, let my office take care of
this. You know I wouldn't let you and your friend Allen down if I could
help it."

   "Okay dad," answered Rusty. "I trust you, and I'll try to control
myself."

   "Thanks son." said Mike.

    First thing Mike would have to do would be to file a temporary state
custody order for Allen so he could be treated. Then he was going to have
to have an official talk with Allen's parents. He had a good idea where he
might at least find Ben Martin, after all there's only one bar in the
neighborhood, and judging by the way he took his son's news that's most
likely where he was. As Mike pulled into the parking lot of the bar he
spotted Ben's car right away. Once inside the bar Mike spotted Ben in a
corner nursing a drink with his head hung down.

   "Hi'ya Ben" said Mike. "Do you mind if we have a little talk?"

   "I don't know if I'm in the mood for talking right now Mike" said Ben.

   "Bullshit!" exclaimed Mike. "If I wern't here in an official capacity,
do you know how hard it would for me to keep from ripping your head off
right now?"

   "I don't need this crap right now Mike!" Ben almost shouted.

   "No, you don't," said Mike. "Right now you need a ride home because
you're too drunk to be driving. You also need to explain to me why I just
had to file for custody of your son, why he's laying in a hospital
emergency room, and why you didn't do anything to stop it!"

   "You're right, Mike" said Ben as he slumped back into his seat, with
resignation in his voice.

   Meanwhile back at the hospital, the doctors had just finished working on
Allen for now and placed him in a room. The head doctor on the case then
went out to the waiting room to talk to Mrs. Cooper.

   As soon as Rusty saw the doctor walk up to his mom he jumped up and
asked "How is he doc? What's wrong? Is he going to be okay?"

   "Slow down son," said Emily, "the doctor was just getting ready to
explain Allen's condition."

   "Okay," said the doctor, "we've moved him to a room on our intensive
care floor, just as a precaution. He doesn't seem to have any internal
bleeding, but we need to run some more tests in the morning just to make
sure. We're pretty sure though he does have a concussion, he is still
unconcsious right now. We're going to check that out later tonight. He also
has a fractured jaw and two broken ribs."

   "Oh my god!" said Rusty. "Is he going to be okay?"

   "He is in stable condition right now," said the doctor, "and he's young,
so there's no reason for us not to think he's not going to be fine. He will
be very sore for quite some time though, but he should heal."

   "Can I go and see him now?" asked Rusty.

   "As I said" the doctor stated, "he is unconcsious right now."

   "Rusty," said his mom, "I know you're very concerned about Allen right
now, but the doctors sound like they're going to be busy with him until
tommorrow morning. I think it would be best if we took your sister home now
and came back around noon, after we find a sitter for Beth."

   "I think that sounds like a good idea." said the doctor. "By noon
tommorrow we should be done with our tests. Besides there's really nothing
you can do here right now. If anything should happen we would call you
immediately, but I really think everything will be okay."

   It was a quiet ride home for the Coopers that night, with Beth siiting
in the front with her mom and Rusty sitting in the back. Occasionally the
sound of quiet sobbing would come from the back seat. The only break in the
silence was when Beth asked, "Why would someone beat up Rusty's friend like
that mom?"

   "I don't know for sure right now Beth," replied Emily, "but your father
will get to the bottom of this I"m sure."


   Well, that's all for part two. What can Mr. Martin say to explain what
happened, And will Rusty keep his promise to his dad? Find the answers to
those questions in part three, coming soon to a nifty website near you.
Thanks to all of you who have written me so far, it makes me glad that I
found the nerve to start this story.
