My Little Brother's
Feet
Chapter 19
Ecstasy then agony
Saturday
finally came and I had everything all ready for Jason's visit. Even
though
I had talked to Joey about what was probably going to happen I was
relieved when suddenly out of the blue he was invited to Joe's for a
pool party. Joe had a heated pool so no matter what the weather they
could swim in comfort. I wondered if Joe's new bf would be there and
how Joey felt about that, but he is a strong kid and I knew he would
handle it somehow. He hugged me when he left and whispered in my ear
"Have fun, but be careful." then giggled and I slapped him on his cute
rear. I was a little sorry to see him go, but it was really best since
Jason might've been spooked with him right next door.
Jason's folks took advantage of
the
situation and went out on a date after dropping Amy off at a friend's
house. Jason walked over about 6 with his backpack in his hand. He said
hi to my folks and we headed up to my room. He threw his backpack on my
bed and looked at me and grinned. I asked him what was in the backpack
and he said clothes and his XBox and games in case we wanted to play
later. Oh, I wanted to play alright, but not XBox...lol.
We went out back and played with
my dog Yoshie for a while and Jason said he had always wanted a dog
but his folks wouldn't let him have one. I told him he could come feed
and exercise Yoshie anytime he wanted and we both laughed. I took him
out to the garage and showed him the neat loft where my dad kept his
lumber and stuff and I remembered the time Buster and I had messed
around up there and it sort of made me hurt in the pit of my stomach.
But not so much that I didn't still want to mess around with Jason.
He looked extra hot that day, his
jeans were tight and had embroidery on the back pocket and the shirt he
wore had a round neck with little pearl buttons and it was open showing
the smooth skin at his neck. I couldn't help but notice his feet in his
black Nikes and I felt my dick jump a little. He had left his glasses
at home because he said he only needed them for far off stuff and he
thought they made him look nerdy. I told him I liked how he looked in
glasses and he smiled showing those sexy braces. I wanted to drag him
up to the loft and kiss him but I didn't want to risk freaking him out.
I figured later, alone in bed with the lights out would be soon enough.
Mom ordered pizza for us and we
ate in front of the TV in the family room with my rents but after
we ate Jason and I went back up to my room and hooked up his
XBox. We sat on my bed and played for a while then went back down
stairs and raided the pantry and got some sodas and went back up and
pigged out for a while.
"This is awesome," Jason said as
he wolfed down a chocolate cupcake, "your folks are so cool and I'm
having a blast."
"Yeah, they are pretty cool. Your
folks seem cool too. And your little sister is cool too. Joey sure
likes her," I said laughing.
"I'm glad she has a boyfriend,
she has been happier lately. Your little brother is cool. It's none of
my business but I think they played show and tell the other day...ha
ha."
If he only knew, I thought, "Well, my little bro is pretty horny
and he just discovered he likes girls so....just saying, don't be
surprised if he is curious about girl stuff."
"My mom and dad had the talk with
us last year. It's like they expect us to have sex or something. They
are so open minded but sometimes it's confusing. I don't know what they
would say if they knew I was...uh, you know...gay."
"Well, if my folks could accept
me, I'll bet yours would be like really happy for you."
Jason laughed, "Yeah, they'd
probably want to tell all their snooty friends and make a big deal out
of it, like it was some sort of status symbol having a gay son," he
laughed.
"Well, what's wrong with that?"
He shrugged, "Nothing I guess,
but I'd rather keep it private."
"No problem, I won't tell if you
don't."
He smiled, "Thanks. I...uh,
well...I guess we are going to do some stuff later....right?"
"For sure! I mean if you want
to," I said blushing.
He grinned, "I would've died if
you'd said no."
"We have to wait though...till my
folks go to bed. See my mom will come say goodnight and then we have
the rest of the night."
"Let's play XBox for now, okay?
It'll make the time go fast."
So, that's what we did and around
9 I told him I was going to take a shower. He said cool and he'd take
one when I got done but I had a wicked idea. I locked my bedroom door
and the door to Joey's room from the bathroom and I talked him into
taking a shower with me. I didn't think we'd fool around but we could
at least check each other out.
He was sort of nervous but I told
him my folks respected my privacy and that they wouldn't try to come in
unannounced, especially if they heard the shower running and we'd be
safe. He nervously stripped off his clothes and I checked him out. He
looked finer than the last time I saw him naked and he got a boner
right off. I reached over and touched it and he giggled but didn't pull
away so I worked the skin back a little and I got a heavenly whiff of
his funky boy scent. I wanted to drop to my knees and suck him right
then and there but I decided to be patient and later I could take my
time.
I coaxed him into the
shower and we soaped up and I offered to wash his back and he said okay
if he could wash mine afterwards and of course I agreed. I took the
scrunchy and soaped it up and started at his neck and began rubbing his
skin gently. He leaned against the wall and dropped his head and was
sort of purring as I worked my way lower down his back.
"Feel good?" I said softly
"Mmmmm....I could go to sleep
like this...feels so good."
"Just relax," I said as I dropped down
lower and scrubbed the small of his back, "I want to make sure that
booty is clean," I teased.
"Huh?" he said jerking his head
up.
"Don't worry I won't hurt
you," I giggled.
He did relax and let me wash his
crack and as I ran the scrunchy over his pucker he moaned lowly. I felt
my
boner jump and wanted to shove it up there but again I decided to wait
for the bedroom. I finished up quickly and he washed me but seemed shy
when he got to my butt. I pushed back against him and told him to scrub
it good and he giggled. I wouldn't be letting him in there, I was still
saving that for Buster but if he wanted to lick it or touch it that'd
be
fine. We finished washing up and rinsed off and helped each other dry
off and we put on our undies. Jason had tightly whites again and I wore
red
boxer briefs.
He really looked sexy in
those white CK's and his long tanned legs were almost completely
smooth. His chest looked more buff than I remembered and his nipples
were hard. I grinned and reached over and pinched one of them and he
squeaked and I laughed. He rubbed his nipple but he was laughing too
and blushing. He was so cute when he was embarrassed.
"What do you want to do now?" I
asked raising an eyebrow.
"What can we do?" he asked
grinning like a little kid.
"Not that," I laughed and made
him blush again, "How about we look at some pictures."
"What kind of pictures?" he asked
looking excited, "Dirty ones?"
"No silly, pictures of me and
Joey at Disneyland."
"Oh, yeah...great, that would be
great." he stuttered.
I dragged out an album we had put
together after the trip and we sat down side by side on my bed. Our
legs touched and he felt warm and still a little damp but nice. I felt
my dick stir a little but I covered it with the photo album and that
kept it down. I turned to the first page, and there was me and Joey and
.....Buster. I hadn't thought about him and I had this urge to slam it
shut and make up some excuse but I knew that would just be crazy. I
tried not to act like it affected me and turned to the next page. There
were pictures of things along the way and one of Joey and me at the
place we stopped to get donuts. Buster had taken that picture so he
wasn't in it and I sort of forgot about him for a while.
Page after page of pictures,
including the hot boys Buster had taken a picture of at DL. There were
pictures of us by the pool that my rents had taken and even one of that
little girl and Joey. Buster was in a lot of them but he took a lot of
them too. I thought about how much fun we had had at the hotel that
night and my heart sort of ached for him, but I had a cute and sexy boy
right beside me and I could feel the heat coming off of his body and I
soon got over it. I put the album away and we played XBox till my mom
came and knocked on the door. Jason jumped under the covers to keep
from my mom seeing his undies, but I didn't mind. My mom had seen me in
undies before and I wasn't hard (then) so I let her give me my
goodnight
hug and kiss and she even gave Jason a kiss on the forehead and made
him blush but I knew he liked it, all my friends liked my mom and her
kisses.
When she was gone I got up and
locked the door and we peed and brushed our teeth. I turned off the
light as we climbed into bed and we laid there side by side and for a
little while the
only sound was our breathing. I turned my head his way and our eyes met
and he smiled shyly. I smiled back and then jumped him.
He giggled as I pinned him and
pressed my body against his. I could feel his cock start to get hard
and mine got hard too. I pressed my boner against his and he was
totally hard. I moved by crotch against his in a circular motion and he
moaned a little. I lowered my head and kissed him and he kissed back
offering his tongue and I pushed back with mine. He tasted good, sort
of like toothpaste but there was his own taste there too. I broke off
the kiss and nuzzled his neck and he shivered a little. I nibbled at
his ear and whispered, "What do you want me to do?"
He shrugged but I insisted. I
wanted him to tell me what he wanted because that really turned me on.
"Uh...suck my dick," he whispered.
"Louder, I can't hear you."
"Suck my dick," he said in a low
husky voice.
"Louder."
"Suck my dick," he said in a
normal voice.
I didn't want to wake mom and dad
and have them know what we were doing so I accepted that. I licked his
nipples and ran my tongue down the middle of his chest to his belly
button and licked it out before moving down to his cock and starting. I
grabbed the skin and pulled it back and even after his shower he still
had that musky dick smell that drove me crazy and I licked his dick
noisily. He gasped a little as I moved down to his balls and licked
them for awhile. He was squirming and panting and I knew he really
liked it. I pushed his legs up and licked that spot between his balls
and his hole and he pulled his legs up higher to give me better access.
I licked his pucker and he pushed against me trying to force my tongue
deeper into him. He tasted salty and not at all bitter and I really
loved it.
I wanted to shove my dick
in
there but I'd promised him a beejay so I left his ass and went back to
his dick. It was leaking a little and that added to the musky boy smell
and it was awesome. I pushed the skin back with my lips and he moaned
softly and I licked the head all around the ridge. He was trembling a
little and I reached up and patted his tummy to sort of let him know I
understood. I loved being intimate, even though back then I
couldn't really verbalize it like I can now. I just knew that touching
was as important to me as the sex part. Buster had taught me
that....Buster again. I could almost pretend it was Buster's dick in
my mouth, once I had the skin back Jason's dick was almost the same
thickness. I wondered what he was doing and lost track of what I was
doing for a moment. I shook those thoughts out of my head and went back
to sucking Jason's awesome dick and he started thrusting up to force it
down my throat.
"I have an idea," I said
thinking
of how much Buster liked sitting on my chest and fucking my mouth.
I managed to get us into position
and he caught on quick. He was shoving his dick in and out of my mouth
after a few minutes and it was all I could do to manage a breath now
and then. I loved receiving like that though, it sort of made me
feel...slutty or something and I always loved it when Buster took
control of me like that. Again thoughts of Buster but they were soon
pushed out of my mind as Jason really started grunting and giving it to
me. I tried to keep up then finally just relaxed and let him do all the
work.
It didn't take long once he got
his rhythm figured out and suddenly he thrust forward burying his
dick deep in my throat and began unloading. His cum was sweet and salty
and very tasty and I managed to get it all down without spilling a
drop. He stayed in my mouth a few minutes until he was done spunking
then pulled back and slapped his wet wiener across my face and giggled.
That was so unlike him that it made me giggle too. Somewhere along the
way my little mouse had grown balls the size of tennis balls. Maybe it
was because I let him take control of me and fuck my mouth or maybe he
was just waking up sexually now that he had a chance to explore new
things. I was glad I could help, but I didn't know how long I could
keep this up. Soon Buster would be back in my life and I didn't know
what I 'd do then.
He finally climbed off me and
fell down on the bed, "Now, you can fuck me," he said boldly and my
dick jumped at hearing those words.
I was trembling as I moved
between his legs and as he raised them high I threw them across my
shoulders and pushed up against him. My dick was leaking so much I
really didn't need any lube and I got in pretty quick. His ass was hot
and tight and he really knew how to use his ass muscles. Again I
wondered where he had learned to take a dick like that, but at that
moment it wasn't really that important. All I could think about was the
almost five inches of my body that was buried in his hot tight guts and
how good it felt.
I wanted it to last so I went
slow and when I felt close I pushed all the way in and rested and
kissed him while I cooled down a little. When I started again he moaned
softly and I growled my approval. He was mine if only for the few
minutes I was inside him and though I didn't know where all this was
heading, for that moment I loved him and that was all that mattered.
How easily we fall in love when we are young and innocent as I was
then,
but soon I would be faced with the biggest decision of my young life.
I don't know what words to use to
tell you how wonderful I felt that night, moving in and out of Jason,
our very souls as joined as our bodies were and when I came it was more
of an experience than an orgasm. I cried his name out softly and cried,
the tears falling to his chest and as he traced them with his finger I
saw he was crying too. We were young and tender and our emotions were
as fragile as snowflakes and ever changing but for that moment we were
truly one and the world seemed a million miles away.
I fell down beside him and
smothered him with my mouth as we struggled to come back to earth, our
hearts beating so fast they seemed in danger of escaping our chests. I
broke the kiss eventually and sighed in satisfaction. Jason stroked my
face with his soft hand and I brought it to my lips and kissed it
gently. His eyes seemed to be asking the question my own heart was
asking, but I had no answer for him. I belonged to Buster and for the
first time I regretted what I had done. I had not only cheated on
Buster but I had awakened feelings in Jason that might cause him great
harm when this as over. I prayed he understood, but how could he? I
didn't understand and I had started the whole thing. I realized
now why I had cried. They were not tears of joy, they were tears of
despair and regret that I would hurt one or both of the boys I loved.
Why couldn't life be
easier. Why
did we have to make such choices? Why couldn't I love both and they
love me in turn and perhaps each other. I didn't know the answers but I
did know something very precious had died that night and I didn't know
if I could stand the loss. I tried to hide my despair yet Jason saw
through me, but he was the sweetest boy I have ever known and he didn't
press me. Instead he comforted me and I cried softly on his chest.
After some time I fell asleep and did not wake till morning.
I awoke to the sound of someone
bounding up the stairs and as I became conscious of my surroundings I
noticed Jason sprawled naked on top of the covers beside me. He was so
beautiful as he lay there and I felt a pang in my chest to think I
wouldn't be able to see him again or at least not as I had, but my
thoughts were interrupted by a soft banging on the door.
Assuming it was Joey I hopped up
out of bed still naked and with morning wood and unlatched the door. As
I watched in horror Buster darted in took one look at my naked body and
the state of my dick and said, "For me? You shouldn't have." Always the
clown, but he wasn't laughing when he suddenly realized I was not
alone.
He took one look at Jason sprawled naked on the bed and his face fell
in sadness and his eyes burned with anger.
"So...this is what you been up
to? I wondered why you didn't want to talk, now I know. How long have
you
two been.....doing this?" he said in a shaky voice.
"It's not what you think?" I
said. Why do guys always say that? It almost always is exactly what it
looks like.
"Oh, I guess I'm just imagining
the naked boy in your bed and the smell in here....I smell ass and
cum..Tell me I'm a liar...tell me Dommie....tell me I'm a damn liar,"
he said angrily.
I couldn't speak, my mouth
flapped open but my mind was a whirlwind of terror and fear. Jason
chose that moment to awaken and he raised up and took one look at our
faces and muttered, "Oh shit."
I finally managed to squeak
out a weak "Sorry" but Buster was already headed out the door and by
the time I managed to pull on pants and go after him he was long gone.
I didn't see my folks anywhere and I was glad. But how had Buster
gotten in unless they had opened the door? There was a spare key in one
of
those fake rocks outside and Buster knew it was there. Maybe he had
slipped in to surprise me. Well, he did and got an eyeful of heartache
in the bargain.
Jason was dressed by the time I
got back to my room and he was crying softly. When he saw me he choked
out, "I'm sorry...I shouldn't have let this happen....it's my fault."
"It's not your fault, okay? It's
all my fault. I knew better. I love Buster but now....I don't know if I
can fix this. I need to think....I'm sorry. Do you mind going home
early?" I said holding my tears back and trying to get control so I
could do what I needed to .
He shook his head, "I
understand...I...I'm sorry it ended this way."
I didn't know if he meant ending
with Buster or with him and I didn't ask. I went into the bathroom peed
and started the shower. When I came out he was gone. I looked around
the room and saw all his stuff was gone including his XBox and I got
dressed and laced on my running shoes.
I found a note on the fridge
saying my mom and dad had gone to the grocery store and would be back
in time to fix breakfast. That explained Buster using the rock key, he
must've known they were gone and he was probably going to sex me
up while they were gone. Well, I screwed that up but good.
I considered riding my bike to
Buster's house but decided I didn't deserve such luxury and after
leaving a note for my parents I ran out of the house and all the way to
Buster's. I had a stitch in my side and could barely catch my breath by
the time I got there but it was what I deserved. I stood bent over in
the driveway while I caught my breath and thought about what I would
say and wondered if anything could fix this mess. I was finally
realizing just what I had done and that I might loose the one person I
loved above all else in this world and that was a lot for a 13 year old
to deal with. I suddenly realized my eyes were wet with tears but I
didn't want Buster to see them. I didn't want to play on his emotions
like some girl might, I was a man (well boy) and I wanted to act like
one.
When I thought I was finally calm
enough to face him I went to the door and pushed the door bell button.
I heard the muffled ring in the hallway and waited. I didn't know if
his folks were home, if he had been granted early freedom, or had
slipped out while they were away, but I was determined that I would see
him even if I had to beg or force myself inside.
When no one answered after
a few minutes I tried again, but somehow I knew no one was coming. If
Buster was home alone he must know it was me and he would never let me
in after what he had seen in my bedroom. So I tried the door and to my
surprise it was unlocked. In his hurry to get in and up to his room he
must've forgot to lock it back. I pushed it open and stepped inside. I
didn't announce myself. I knew his parents weren't home and if he was I
sure didn't want to give him a chance to hide or escape me. Not till I
told him the truth and begged his forgiveness. Lying didn't even cross
my mind. Once I had made that ridiculous statement in my bedroom I knew
only the truth would do now.
I closed the door as quietly as
possible and looked around. The living room was dark and so was the
kitchen
and dining room. The upstairs hall light was on so I headed up there. I
moved as silently as a cat and held my breath until I got to his
bedroom door. For the first time since leaving the house I suddenly
lost my nerve and almost turned around and fled, but somehow I managed
to stand there until I regained my courage. I reached out and grasped
the door knob and was relieved to feel it turn easily in my hand.
With a soft click the door latch
opened and I pushed the door open. As I stepped inside the first thing
I saw was Buster sitting on his bed with those silly Mickey Mouse ears
on. He looked as if he had been crying but his tears had dried and his
face was a mask of pain. I closed the door behind me and he seemed to
notice me for the first time.
"What do you want?" he
asked but there was no anger in his voice, only despair.
"To explain, and to say I'm
sorry." I said meekly.
He shrugged, "So you're sorry,
I'm sorry, we're all sorry. So now what? Do you want me to give you and
Jason my blessings?" he growled.
"It's not like that. I wasn't
trying to replace you. I...I just got carried away. You know how horny
I get, it was just sex...that's all. I swear."
He laughed but there was no humor
in it, "Just sex? Oh, well that's okay then." he said his voice
dripping with sarcasm.
"Can I sit down by you?" I
said feeling suddenly very dizzy.
He shrugged, "You broke into my
house, so why not do what you want? Maybe you could rape me while
you're at it. You already raped my heart, " he said and a single tear
rolled down his cheek.
I sat down heavily being careful
not to touch him, I didn't think he was ready for that yet, "Buster, I
love you more than anything in the world but sometimes I get so mad at
you and I just.....I have no excuse, it was just that you were grounded
and Jason was there and.......it just happened. I knew it was wrong but
I lied to myself said it didn't mean anything. Don't blame Jason, okay.
He even asked me about it and said he didn't want to ruin what we had.
It was all me...it was my fault...I did it, not him."
"Well, that's reassuring, at
least it was the one person I loved that shoved a knife in my heart and
not a total stranger."
Damn, he wasn't gonna make it
easy for me and I knew it, he never did, "That's not what I intended to
do. It just got out of hand. I swear after last night it was going to
be over....."
I realized how lame that sounded even before it was out of my mouth.
"Oh good. And if I hadn't got
ungrounded early just so I could see your sorry ass, I would have never
known. And what old Buster don't know won't hurt him, right?"
I lowered my head, the dizziness
was getting worse and I felt sick at my stomach. I raised my head and
my vision was a little blurry, then I realized it was from the
tears that had formed there.
"I have no excuse and I
don't blame you if you hate me now, or don't want to see me ever again,
but I still love you and if I can't have you in my life I don't want to
go on living."
"Don't try laying that shit on
me Dommie. You're not gonna commit suicide just because if me, we both
know that. I don't know what's gonna happen. I need to think about
this. I am really hurt and I don't know if I can ever trust you again."
he said then shook his head and looked across the room as if he had
seen something of interest there, "You know what's crazy? If you had
told me about Jason and that you wanted to sex him, I probably
would've said it was okay as long as I got to later. But you lied to me
and snuck around and that sucks Dommie. You didn't trust me enough to
be honest and that hurts worse than the cheating."
"I know," I
said as my head swam crazily and my vision came in and out of focus.
Was I having a stroke or something? "I even thought of that and
almost did tell you, but I.....uh....." Suddenly my vision began to
close in like I was entering a tunnel then it went black and that's the
last thing I remembered for a while.
Chapter
20
Show me the
meaning of being lonely
The next thing I remember I was in a
cubicle in the emergency room of St. Luke's Hospital. I knew that's
where I was because I had been there once when I got food poisoning
when I was ten. There was a nurse doing something to my arm and my mom
was standing by the bed looking worried. When she saw I was awake she
leaned down and smoothed the hair from my forehead and kissed it.
"Hi, welcome back honey," she
said gently, "You gave us quite a scare."
"Whaaat happened?" I asked
feeling weak as a kitten.
"You probably just got over
exerted, the doctor will be in a minute to check you out, but you're
gonna be fine honey," she said patting my hand.
The nurse took my blood pressure
and stuck a thermometer in my ear and wrote a bunch of stuff down on a
chart then left. I looked at my mom and tried to smile, but I was too
weak even for that.
"Where is Buster?" I asked
remembering how I had left things.
"He's in the waiting room with Joey.
They aren't allowed back here. Your father is on his way." she said
soothingly. I could see the worry in her eyes and I wondered if she was
telling me the real truth. Maybe I was dying, or was paralyzed or
something. I tried moving legs and arms and they seemed to work okay
but I was so weak.
"Can I go home soon?" I asked
trembling a little. I hated hospitals.
"Soon honey, as soon as the
doctor checks you out."
"I'm fine," I said trying to
sound stronger than I was and failing miserably.
I could see the fear in my mom's eyes
and it was contagious and I began to cry,
"Am....I...gonna...be....alright?" I sobbed.
She held me to her and patted me
gently, "You'll be fine honey. Oh, please don't cry sweetie, here's the
doctor now," she said as a young dark haired guy pulled the curtain
back and stepped in.
If I hadn't been so miserable and
dying I might have thought he was cute. Well, I thought I was dying
anyway. I tensed up as he stepped over to the bed and picked up the
chart. My heart was beating ninety miles an hour as I waited for him to
speak and when he did I jumped a little at the sound of his voice.
"Hi Dominick, I'm Dr. Reed. I
just need to check you out and hopefully we will send you on your way.
Can you tell me exactly what happened?" he asked as he took out a
little flashlight and held my eye open and shined it inside.
"I was just talking to...to..my
friend Buster and I felt kind of dizzy and then I woke up here. That's
about it," I said trying to remember what I had last said to Buster.
"Uh huh, and before that, did you
do anything out of the ordinary?"
"Well, I uh, ran a long way. I ran
all the way to his house and I was kind of tired, but I...uh...I.....I
think I'm gonna throw up," I said gagging but it was too late, green
vomit came spewing out of my mouth like a fire hydrant. I tried to
raise up and hit the floor but most of it went on the bed and my chest.
My mom was an expert at holding kid's heads while they vomited and she
was right there to help. I finally ran out of vomit and was dry heaving
a little but for the most part it was over and I fell down on the bed
panting. I was exhausted and could barely hold my eyes open. I was
vaguely aware of someone running a cool wet cloth across my forehead
and then I was out again.
When I woke up next I was in a
different place but still in the hospital. My mom was there and my dad
and they looked white as a sheet, even my dad and that scared me. My
dad was like a pillar of strength and I guessed if he was that worried
I must be pretty sick.
Someone had cleaned me up and I
was in one of those stupid hospital gowns that showed your butt when
you stood up but I didn't care. I figured if I was gonna die it didn't
really matter what I was wearing. I just had one request, I wanted to
see Buster one last time and tell him I loved him and that I was sorry.
Oh,
and I wanted to see Joey one last time too, so that was two requests. I
was rambling in my own head and it was making me more tired.
"Dommie," my mom said gently,
"feel better honey?" She was patting my free hand, I noticed the other
one had an IV in it, and trying to sound upbeat, but I could see the
worry and fear in her eyes. I must
be dying.
"I...I'm dying aren't I?" I said
boldly. I refused to go out whining.
"No sport," my dad said coming to the
other side of my bed, "they did a bunch of tests, but you're not dying
son. They'll figure it out and fix you right up and you'll be fine."
Somehow coming from my dad
it
sounded more believable and I relaxed a little. "Is Buster still here?"
I asked weakly.
"Yes dear, he and Joey are out in
the waiting room with Buster's parents. They got here about a half hour
ago."
"How long have I been in
here,
this room I mean?"
"About two hours, well you were
in x-ray for a while but it's been about two hours since they moved you
from the ER. Dr.Reed says he thinks you may have some sort of bug. The
tests should tell them for sure."
"A bug, you mean like a virus?" I
asked wondering where I picked it up.
She nodded, "That's one possible
reason, but they don't know for sure. The x-rays didn't show anything
but they might do a MRI if the other tests come back negative."
"MRI?"
"It's a sort of brain scan, but
it might not be necessary. We'll see sweetie. Just rest now. Do you
need a drink? The nurse said you could have ice chips or water."
Mom always trying to mother me. I
sighed and even that took more strength than I could muster. I
just wanted to sleep and a second later I was out like a light.
I awoke to the strangest
sensation and the sound of someone singing softly. As I came up out of
the void of unconsciousness I realized the strange sensation was
someone holding my hand and rubbing it gently and the singing
was.....Buster's sweet voice. I didn't know how he had managed to get
permission to be in my room or if he had just sneaked in but there he
was and the sight of him brought tears to my eyes. As I became fully
conscious I recognized the song he was singing, Back Street Boys' Show
me the meaning of being lonely. It was like our favorite song even
though it was sad. His voice was soft and pure and to a 13 year old boy
in
love, it was the sweetest sound in the world. I felt tears start to run
down my face and saw that he was crying too, but it didn't affect his
voice. He just kept on singing and rubbing my hand and I bawled like a
baby. I loved him so much it hurt and I knew that if he ever left me
part of me would die.
He finished
the song and just sat there staring at me for what seemed like forever
as I tried to pull myself together. He wiped at his eyes with the tail
of his tee shirt and I saw his smooth flat tummy and I cried harder.
What if I never got to kiss that tummy or touch his body again. That
was silly of course, he was holding my hand and rubbing it gently, he
wasn't mad any more or at least if he was he was putting it on hold for
now. Oh my God, I suddenly
thought, he must know I'm dying and
he doesn't want me to die thinking he's mad at me. That scared
me so bad I trembled and a look of alarm came over his face.
"Do..do yo
need the nurse?" he said speaking for the first time since I woke up.
I shook my head and
squeezed his hand, "I....I'm sooorry," I sobbed, "I know I'm dying, but
I will always looove....you," I was really blubbering then. So much for
going out without a whine.
He laughed
softly then shook his head, "You're not gonna die. I won't let ya. The
doc says you had a panic attack. Do you know what that is?"
I shook my
head. Was that like a brain tumor?
Were they going to have to operate?
"It
means that you go so stressed out over this stuff between us plus
you ran like a mile and got your blood rushing through your body and it
shut down or something. That's all. You'll be fine. Look Dommie," he
said dropping my hand and standing up suddenly, "I'm still mad, and I
need to do some thinking but I do love you and I'm here because I want
you to know that, but I can't just forget what happened. Do you
understand?"
I started
crying again, but I understood. He was such a great person and I had
ruined everything for us. I wasn't sure if I wanted to get better if I
couldn't be his boyfriend anymore.
"Don't,
please...." he muttered, "It won't help things if you get upset again,
you could have a relapse or something......"
"I don't care. If I
can't have you....I don't care if I live or die. I told you that
and I meant it." I said managing to stop crying long enough to speak.
He sighed and looked at me
as if I were some
difficult two year old, "You don't mean that and you know it. You will
be fine one way or the other, and....I'm not saying we can't be
together, I just need to think this thing out, okay?" he looked sad as
he finished.
I nodded,
"Will...you be here for a little while?"
He shook his head, "My
folks are leaving in a little while and I
have to go with them,but they're releasing you tomorrow so....I might
come see you at home."
"Promise?" I
said miserably.
"I won't
promise because you know I won't break a promise and
this is one I don't wanna make."
I tried to
give him my pitiful puppy dog eyes, but he wasn't
having any of it. I had hurt him too much for him to fall for that crap
so I
gave up and accepted my fate. I felt really sleepy again and I was
almost out of it when I felt his lips touch mine and for a moment I
thought it was a dream, then he was gone and I slept.
I guess they
gave me something to make me sleep because I don't remember much about
that
night, just foggy images as the nurses came and went and then it was
morning and my mom and dad were there to pick me up. They wheeled me
out of the room and Joey came bounding over to me and practically sat
in my lap as he kissed and hugged me. It was so good to see him, they
hadn't let him in to visit because of his age, and I knew he must've
been worried sick. He was smiling though as he held my hand and walked
beside the wheelchair all the way down to the lobby. Dad went on ahead
and pulled the van around to the pick up spot and I climbed into the
back with my little brother. It seemed like years since I had seen him
and I almost cried just looking at his sweet face. I loved him so much
it hurt and I knew I didn't deserve to have a brother like him, but
sometimes I guess God gives us more than we earn.
He chattered all the way home and when we got there
dad helped me upstairs to my room and I climbed into my bed. My mom
fluffed my pillow and pampered me and finally went off to fix me some
soup which I doubted I could eat and as soon as my folks were gone Joey
hopped up in bed with me and snuggled against me.
"I was
soooo scared Dommie," he said sadly, "I was afraid you....you...were
gonna leave me..." he said choking back tears.
I didn't tell him I had thought the same thing,
instead I just smoothed his hair back from him forehead like my mom
always did to us and kissed him there. He smiled up at me and I knew
things would be alright. If Buster didn't love me any more than I could
learn to love again as long as I had my mom and dad and especially my
little brother Joey. I held him and patted him and soon I was aware of
his soft regular breathing and I realized he was asleep. Poor little
guy must not have slept all night worrying about me and wanting me to
come home. I sighed and soon I was asleep too.
When I
woke Joey was gone but I felt about a hundred percent better just
knowing he was there for me when I needed him. It's amazing what the
simple pure love of a kid brother can do to heal a broken heart. My mom
found us asleep that day and took a picture and I still have a copy of
it in my memory album. She told me that she cried when she saw us
snuggled up together and at first I was afraid she thought we had been
doing something wrong, then she said it was the sweetest thing she had
ever seen in her life and she just had to take a picture so we would
never forget how close we were that day.
I
got dressed and had dinner with my family and hardly thought about
Buster. If my folks suspected we had a fight, or that our relationship
might be over, they never let on that day or in the days that followed.
They may have suspected, oh hell they had to know, but except for a few
words of encouragement and an offer to help any way they could, they
never interfered.
Joey however knew
exactly what had happened and he
was there for me every step of the way. That first night back from the
hospital and every night for a week he slipped into my bed after mom's
goodnight kiss and slept with me. We didn't have sex, that wasn't why
he was there and we both knew and understood that, he was there to
comfort me an help me deal with what I had done and the consequences of
it. I'm not sure I would have made it through that time in my life if I
hadn't had my little brother on my side, but fortunately I didn't have
to find out and to this day if I have a crisis he is the first one to
come to my rescue. Joey, my little bro....I love you.
