All places, people and events are fictional. Nothing of the sort ever happened. And all sexual acts are complete fiction. This is a long term relationship between two boys. Sorry for the wait, it was spring break and I was so busy. I thought I was going to get at least two chapters done, but I guess not. I hope you enjoy this chapter :) Oh and thank you for sending your comments, I really appreciated them. As James's dad came storming towards the door, we froze with fright. James then tried to run, but I held his arm. James's dad Russell swung one of the French doors open and it shattered as it hit the wall. "Where the hell have you been James?" Russell bellowed. James dropped to his knees and started crying. "Look Mr. Russell, I'm sorry I brought James back so late, he told me he was grounded but I insisted on him coming to have a burger with me. I know it was wrong of me to go against your authority. I'm sorry." I said in the kindest but strongest voice I had to offer. He looked so mad I couldn't even bare to look at him. His eyes were filled with rage. Then with a swift movement he took James and me by the arm and yanked us both in the house. His grip was so great I felt my blood circulation being cut off. He threw me towards the wall where I hit the china cabinet where all his collectable cars were and shattered the glass. I felt a horrible pain on my back where the broken shards of glass had stabbed me. I saw the blood on the white carpet below me. I then started to feel a bit light headed. I looked to Russell where he had James still clutched in his hand. He was screaming something at James but I was too incoherent to understand what he was saying. Then Russell punched James in the face, making him bleed from his lip, and he punched him again. I tried so hard to get up and stop the horror happening before my eyes, but I was far too weak to move. I had lost a lot of blood by then. Russell then tossed James against the wall creating a large whole in the sheet rock. James seemed to of have been knocked unconscious. I was crying eyes out watching what he was doing to my James. I then felt very light headed and then I was out. I woke up to see some paramedics working on me; I looked over to where James was and they were working on him also. I looked over to where the TV was and I saw James's mother standing there crying into a police officer's shoulder. I tried to get up and the EMTs stopped me a reassured me that I was going to be alright, I then asked about James. They said "Don't worry he's going to be fine, he's still unconscious, but he's going to be fine" I heard somebody yell "I'm going to kill them when I get out of here!" I then looked outside to where the voice came from to see Russell sitting in back of the police cruiser. I was then lifted up and placed on a stretcher. Shortly after I saw the other crew place James on a stretcher as well. I then passed out again. I woke up and was startled because I didn't know where I was. I looked around and saw beige walls and curtain on a track above me. I looked at my arms and saw a bunch of IVs in both my arms. I then screamed "James! James where are you?" A nurse came running in and my mother right behind her. "Where is James? Where is he?" I demanded. "Joe honey, he's in the next room, don't worry he's ok. He just woke up moments ago. My mom said trying to comfort me. I looked up her and started crying "It was horrible mom, Russell was pounding on James and I could stop him. It's my entire fault." "James tried to get away but I stopped him thinking that it wasn't going to be that bad, as long I explained why we were late. I was so wrong to do that." "It's ok now Joe. Russell is in jail now and he can't hurt you any longer. Both Charlotte and I pressed charges against him. He won't be out for a long time." She said. "Now you rest a little, and settle down." "But can I see James to know that he's ok?" I asked. "Not right now honey. You are all bandaged up on you back, you can't get up or else you will tear out your stitches." She said. "Ugh" I moaned. She then said "He was also asking for you when he woke up, he was very worried that his dad had killed you, but we reassured him that you would be fine." I sighed and rolled over to my back where I felt a dull pain which increased into a searing pain. I threw my head back trying to avoid the pain. My mother asked what hurt, I pointed to my back. She then ran to the nurse and asked for some pain medication. The nurse came back with a small cup with two white pills. I drank them with some Sprite. Soon after, the pain started to subside. I then looked around the room as my minded continued to go over that had happened earlier. I looked at the junk 1980s TV set on the wall mount with a box below it that said Laser Disc, whatever that was. I continued to look around and saw a white board that had the nurse's name, the room phone number, and the doctor's name. Wait a second, I looked back at the white board and saw the phone number. I thought, if I have a room phone number then James's room must have a phone number too. I looked around the room quickly looking for the phone. I spotted it on the bedside table. "Mom?" "Yes Joe?" she asked. Can you go into James's room and see if it has a phone number on the white board like this one has? And if it does tell James that I'm going to call him ok?" "Sure honey I'll go and look." She came back and told me the number and that James will be waiting for my call. I shouted "Thanks mom!" I grabbed the phone and dialed the number. It rang once and he answered. "Heh...heh...hello? Joe is that you?" I noticed his voice was choked up a little. "Yeah bro it's me" I said. "Oh my God Joe, I thought my dad had killed you after he threw you against his car case. And then after that Die Cast Earnhardt Sr. NASCAR fell on your head I thought that would have killed you for sure." He said uncontrollably. Wow I thought, I don't remember a car falling on my head, I guess I must have been too scared for James's life. "James?" "Yeah?" he asked. "I'm sorry..." "Why are you sorry, you didn't do anything" "Yes I did James, I broke my promise. I said I would never let your dad hurt you, and he did." I started to cry. "Dude it's ok. There was no way you could have stopped him. He weighs like 280lbs and works out every day. He's a beast. You dude, you weigh like 150lbs. don't be sorry bro, you did your best, you even lied to protect me, even if he didn't give a crap about it. I love you Joe!" "I love you too James, and if the event comes to where I can physically protect you from somebody I will." "Thanks Joe, that means a lot. So how bad are you? Are you hurt really bad? Is your face ok?" "Welcome buddy! Haha Well I guess I have stitches on my back and some scratches from the broken glass. And a bump on my head from what I'm guessing is from the Die Cast car. I'm not too bad off. And I'm guessing my face is fine. You James?" "Well as long as your face is ok!"Haha "Shut up James" Haha "Ok, ok I'm ok fine, I have a fat lip though. And my left arm is fractured from when I hit the wall." "Wow James does your arm hurt?" "No, it's fine. I just can't drink my Sprite because of this dang busted lip. I need a straw and the nurse hasn't come back in so I can ask. Oh does your back hurt from the stitches?" "Well I'm glad your arm doesn't hurt. A little earlier my back started to hurt and then they my mom asked the nurse for some pain meds and the pain went away. So I'm good now." "Good! Joe I want to see you so bad! I miss your smile already" "Awe James, I want to see you too!" "I love you Joe, I really do, and I want you to know that. Ok?" "I love you too James, with all my heart" "Hey I gotta go Joe my mom just came in" "Ok yeah I think my Dad might be on his way over to see me." "Ok, love you again" he whispered I giggled and whispered "Love you always" Ok so that was the 2nd chapter, I hope you all enjoyed it. Again I'm sorry you all had to wait so long a new chapter.
