Date: Sun, 03 Sep 2000 09:20:31 -0700 From: DJ Paul Subject: love is a hard thing to find chapter 3 Chapter Three: The Movies and More. I just was laying on my bed thinking about the wonderful night that we had. I found it very hard to fall asleep. I tossed and turned and I guess I did that for about an hour before I finally feel off to sleep. I heard my alarm go off and 9inch Nails was doing one of their songs. I jumped out of bed and went across the room to shut off the alarm. Most people have their alarm clocks within reach. Well I can't do that because I would just keep hitting the snooze alarm. So I put it across the room so I have to get out of bed. I got up and of course Mr. Pee hardon was well awake and ready to go. So off I went to the bathroom. Man I tell you I didn't think that I was going to get done peeing. I just kept going and going and going. I thought I was the fucking Eveready bunny. Finally the end phew. Of course, I had to shake it a few extra times. And today was the day. Today I would get to go to the movies with my honey bunny. Well I went and jumped into the shower and quickly got done with that and got dressed for the day. I ran down the stairs into the kitchen. I knew my Mom wouldn't be up yet she sleeps in on the weekends. So I grabbed a bowl and my Apple Jacks and the milk and sat down at the kitchen table and had a couple of bowls. I finished up breakfast and put my bowl in the sink, put the milk and cereal away and decided that I would sit and watch some cartoons. I set my alarm on Saturday mornings because my favorite cartoons come on. I watch Cartoon Express. They have cartoons on till 11am on Saturday so I usually hang out until they are done. Unless of course, I have somewhere to go. Then I put a tape in and tape them so I can watch them during the week. Well I knew that my Mom would be getting up around 10:30- 11:00 am and she usually has chores for me to do. So I just chilled out and watched the cartoons till I got my list of chores for the day. Most of the time it is not a big deal. So I sat there watching cartoons for about an hour and then I heard my mom stirring around in the kitchen. I expected to hear her voice any moment now. Just as I was going to get up and go into the kitchen the phone rang. My Mom answered it and she hollered for me to pick it up. So I did. " Hello this is Jeremy who is this?" It's Justin you ninny." "How come your calling me so early the movies don't start till 2pm?" "Well I have a little problem Jeremy." "Oh, shit what's wrong?" "Nothing big is happening but I am stuck babysitting my little sister. And the only way that I can go to the movies is to take her along." " Oh, Fuck that's no good. I wanted to spend the time with you not your little sister. Damnit nothing ever fucking works out for me when I find someone that I love. All this stupid shit happens." " Hey, Jeremy try and get a grip will you. It's not my fault. She was supposed to go shopping with my Mom but my Mom got called into work. There is nothing that I can do about it I am sorry." "Well what time does your Mom come home from work?" "She doesn't get home until 9pm." " Oh man that really sucks nothing like ruining my fucking day." " Listen Jeremy how about if I call my Mom at work and see if she would let me stay over at your house tonight?" "Well, I don't know. I would love it but I have to go ask my Mom. Hold on I will be right back." I ran into the kitchen to ask my Mom. " Mom I was supposed to go to the movies with Justin today and he has to baby-sit his little sister today cause his Mom had to go to work. Would it be all right if he came over around 9 and spent the night. I promise we will not make much noise?" "Well I really don't prefer that you have anyone over night tonight because I am not going to be home until late like 2 or 3 in the morning. Will you promise me that you wouldn't get carried away upstairs?" "Yeah Mom I promise, honest." " Okay then but you make sure that Jeremy's mother knows where he is going to be and that I wouldn't be home. " Okay Mom thanks you're the best." I leaned over and gave her a hug and kiss. " And just in case you and Justin get hungry I will leave you money on the kitchen table so that you can call and order a pizza or something." "Thank's Mom you're the best." So I ran into the den and picked up the phone. "Justin are you there?" "Yeah I am here, what did your Mom say?" "She said as long as your Mom knows where you will be and that she knows that my Mom will not be home till late that it is all right for you to stay over." "Oh, that's great. Let me call my Mom and see if we can swing that. I will call you right back." "Okay, sweetie." So I hung up the phone and sat down in the recliner and turned the television back on. It seemed like it took forever for the phone to ring. Finally it did ring. "Hello this is Jeremy who is this?" "It's me were you expecting someone else to call you back you silly goose? Why do you answer the phone like that? Especially if you know I am going to call you back right away." " What do you mean right away? I thought you got lost. It seemed like forever till you called me back. And the reason that I always answer the phone like that is because that's how my Mom and Dad taught me to do it and I just can't break the habit. Sorry if that bothers you." "No it's okay." "So what did your Mom say Justin?" "Well the reason it took so long for me to call you back is that I had to talk my Mom into letting me come over. She doesn't like the idea that no one will be there besides us. So I promised her that I would call her as soon as I got here and call her at midnight so she knows that we are all right." " Gee's where did she think you were going that you have to do all that? Your only coming two blocks not around the world or out of state." " Hey , Jeremy what do you want me to tell you. I am still my Mom's baby and she is over protective what can I say." "So what time are you going to come over." " My Mom gets home from work at 9pm so I guess anytime after that. I wish it was sooner and I feel bad about screwing up the plans we had for today. But there was nothing I could do about it." "That's okay and I apologize for cursing the way I did. I was just over anxious to spend time with you I am sorry Justin." "Hey its okay Jeremy. I know how you feel. I was bummed out terrible when I found out that I couldn't go to the movies with you." "All right then Justin see you tonight. Just remember that I love you." " I love you too Jeremy, talk to you later." "Okay sweetie, till tonight then love ya." " Love you too sweetie." Well the day was long and I tried to entertain myself the best that I could. I played video games and then watched some taped shows that I had wanted to watch. But it seemed like forever until Justin comes over. I went to the kitchen to fix lunch. Just felt like having something light so I made two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and grabbed a glass of milk. Nothing like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches they are my personal fav. So I took my lunch back into the den to watch some more television. I clicked through the channels on the cable box till I found something to watch. I wasn't much of a sports fan so I ended up watching some more cartoons on the Cartoon Network. Some kind of silly cartoon was on but it was better than watching nothing. I finished my lunch or snack whatever it was and put my dish on the coffee table along with my empty glass. I decided if I was going to have to spend time watching tv that I would get comfortable so I took off my shoes and socks and just laid my head down on the pillow and stretched out on the couch. Well timed seemed to drag so I turned off the television and put on the stereo and loaded up the CD player and just laid back down and I guess fell asleep. The next thing that I remember is waking up and it was dark outside. Boy I must have taken some nap. I looked at the clock on the TV stand and it said 8pm. Gee, I didn't think that I was that tired but I guess I was. I got up and went up to my room and cleaned it up a little. You know putting dirty clothes in the hamper and making the bed stuff like that. I wanted to make a good impression on Justin. I didn't want him to think that I was a slob. I went back downstairs to take my dirty wash to the laundry room and I heard a knock on the door. I quickly put the clothes in the hamper and ran to the door. It was too early for Justin so I thought I would ask who it was. I went to the front door and I looked through the peephole. All I could see was like a blue material whoever it was, was standing very close to the door. "Who is at the door and how can I help you." "Son just open the door it is the police." "Sorry, not till I see your badge through the peephole." That kind of angered the person at the door. Then I heard a familiar voice. "Jeremy open the door its Justin." So I quickly opened the door. There was the love of my life with bruises all over his face. "What happened Justin?" "Well, its hard to talk about." "Well then come over here." I took him in my arms and he broke down in tears. Then I realized that his sister wasn't with him. "Where is your sister Justin?" "Excuse me son, I am Officer Kronke your friend here was beat up by his mother. Seems that someone told her at work that he was gay. And when she got home from work she tried to beat him straight. We have his Mom in custody and his sister is at a friend's house for the night. Can he stay with you till morning?" " Yes of course he was supposed to stay all night tonight with me. Of course officer." Justin was crying terrible he was really hurt. " Okay officer he will be fine with me. I will take good care of him." "All right son let me have your phone number in case we have to reach you or your friend here." "All right officer my number is 727-555-5555." "Okay son take care of your friend. I asked him if he wanted to go to the hospital and he said no that he would rather come over and stay with you." "That's fine with me sir and thanks." " Justin if you don't feel good you have your friend here call headquarters and we will send an officer to come and get you. Do you understand son?" " Yes, officer but I will be fine right here thank you." "Officer thanks for bringing my friend to my house I am pretty sure that he will be fine." "Okay then I will leave you two." The officer left and I took Justin into the den. We sat down on the couch and Justin asked me not to leave him. "Don't worry sweetheart I am right here. I am just going to go up to my bathroom to get some peroxide and cream for your face you have some pretty good cuts." " Please hurry back Jeremy don't leave me for long please." " I will be right back Justin just put your head down on the pillow and try and rest your eyes." "Okay Jeremy thanks." I ran upstairs to my bathroom and got some gauze pads and some peroxide and cream. I went downstairs to the den and my sweet loveable baby had fallen asleep. I feel so sorry for him. I hate his Mom for what she did to him. How could she being such a brute to her own child? How could she not just love him for who he is not what he is? I didn't understand this at all. While thoughts of her beating up her own son just because someone told her at work that they thought he was gay. How dare someone do that? I am so pissed I could scream but I didn't want to wake Justin. So I took a light blanket and covered him and sat in the recliner waiting for him to wake up. I turned on the television but I plugged my headphones in so as to not wake him. I sat there for what seemed like hours watching some cartoons on the Cartoon network. Some of them were okay but others were stupid. What can I say I just love Cartoons. Out of the side of my eye I could see Justin tossing and turning. I took my headphones off and went over to see if he was okay. He was having a nightmare and all he kept saying was: " No Mom not again, Please Mom you can't beat me straight. Please no more Mom." Evidently he was rehashing what had happened to him at his house with his Mom. I calmly took my hand and ran it through his hair. Trying to calm him down. "Justin, Justin sweetie, come on your having a nightmare sweetie." He all of a sudden woke up and turned around a grabbed me and started to cry. "Jeremy it was all so terrible. I just had a dream about what had happened to me tonight." "I know sweetheart only it was a dream it was a nightmare. Now let me try and clean some of those welts on your face. It is going to burn a little so don't get scared all right?" "Okay Jeremy I know you wouldn't hurt me." So I started to take a gauze pad with peroxide on it and wipe his face where the wounds were. There were a couple of ouches and ahhs from him but he was taking it very well. Then I put some cream on the cuts to make they heal faster. "There you go Justin your face will be fine." "Thanks Jeremy I love you." "I know you do sweetheart and I love you too." "Listen Justin are you hungry, cause my Mom let us some money to order a pizza." "That would be good. Since my Mom came home and beat the shit out of me, I didn't get to eat anything. I don't know what I am gonna do I can't go back home and if I don't they are going to put me in a foster home. Do you think that your Mom and Dad would let me stay here with you?" " Well I really don't know but I could ask my Mom and Dad in the morning." " I am sure that it will be all right to stay for awhile. And I would like that a lot." "Yeah, I kinda figured you would Jeremy." "Hey Justin what kind of pizza do you like, cheese, pepperoni, meatball, peppers and onions? Any special kind you like sweetie?" "Well if you don't mind Jeremy just a plain cheese pizza would be good for me. If you want to get something on it, it is up to you." "Nope a plain cheese pizza is just right for me too." So I picked up the phone and called Pizza Hut and ordered the pizza to be delivered. " Well Justin they said it would take about 30 minutes to deliver it." " Hey no problem when it gets here we will eat that's all. And by the way Jeremy thanks I really appreciate everything that you do for me." "I know sweetie, I know." " Hey Justin how about a game of Monopoly on the play station? We can save it when the pizza comes and continue it after we eat." "Sounds like a plan Jeremy lets do it." So we started a game of monopoly and of course as a good host I was letting Jeremy do most of the winning. We went around the board a few times and by then the pizza guy was ringing the bell with the pizza. So we stopped the game and saved it and I went and paid the guy for the pizza. I took it into the den and put it on the coffee table and then went into the kitchen to get some foam plates and napkins. Also on the way out of the kitchen I grabbed a bottle of soda out of the fridge and two glasses. So here is come all hands full and Justin jumped up to grab the soda and dropped it on the floor. Thank goodness for plastic bottles. We sat and watched television while we ate and then cleaned up everything and went back to playing monopoly. Well the time was passing very quickly and I could see Justin starting to yawn every so man minutes. So I decided to ask him if he was tired and wanted to go to bed." Hey Justin your yawning like you haven't slept in a week. Do you want to go to bed?" " Well Jeremy I am a bit tired. But I don't want to be a party pooper." "Hey Justin don't worry about it after what you went through today I am sure it took a lot out of you. If you are tired we can go to bed." "Are you sure you don't mind Jeremy?" "Not at all, you're my guest and when you stay over I expect you to go to when you are tired not when I say its time." "Okay then lets go to bed Jeremy." So we saved the game and shut down the game system and headed upstairs to bed. Of course because of what had happened to Justin tonight he didn't bring any pajamas with him. So I took out a spare pair of mine and gave them to him. "Hey Jeremy I don't need those. I never wear pajamas to bed I sleep in my underwear. Is that okay with you.?" "Hey if you want sleep in the nude what can I tell you just be comfortable." "Thanks, Jeremy I appreciate that." "Hey anything you want to do is fine with me I love you and will do anything for you." "I know sweetie and I appreciate it. And I love you too." So we crawled up on to the bed and just laid there looking at one another. We decided that since Justin had such a bad day that we would just go to sleep and not have any sex. So I moved as close as I could to Jeremy and put my arm around him and he did the same to me. We kissed one another goodnight and just held each other till we fell asleep. *****Writer's note: Well that's it for chapter three.
