In the following story all names and events are completely fictional. Although I may mention a specific location, place, or person any resemblance to said people, location, or places is completely unintentional. Chapter 10: I got wheeled up right beside his bed. His room was a lot dimmer than mine had been and my eyes were struggling to fully adjust, proving to me that I still had a lot of rehab to do. I tried with all my might to lift myself out of the chair, but my body was now too weak that I didn't even budge. Dave sensing my frustration gave me a hug, and said it was alright that I had done enough with just getting out of bed. Then the little boy lifted me to my feet and supported my weight. I was surprised as to how strong this cute little boy was. He surprised me even further by helping me up into Caleb's bed, and then told me to work my miracle and wake him up. He then headed over to my mum and Caleb's dad, who both gave the boy a hug and kiss thanking him for everything he had done. Now on the bed I repositioned myself and then lay down, and snuggled up to my hero. Almost straight away the nurse was in the room saying we had some positive signs, but Caleb still stayed asleep. He woke suddenly with a start, and panicked. He rushed to get out of bed totally oblivious to his surrounds and fell instantly to the floor disconnecting all the sensors that had been connected to him. Not realising what was going on he struggled as he tried to crawl across the floor and out the door. He was babbling on about something, but his speech was so incoherent that even I didn't understand him. Once out the door he was finally able to make some sense of his surroundings, and had seen Mr Black sitting on a seat. He had a look of total surprise as Caleb who was still struggling trying to crawl went right up to the man and blabbered a whole lot of gibberish that no one could understand. ************ It was me who clicked first as to what had happened. I remembered how it seemed like an instant between the accident and waking from my coma which had left me confused, as I thought that I should have still been on the beach. He had panicked because he thought he was late for school. It would have been one of the last things that he would have been thinking about with regards to the next day. Having just come out of a coma he had no comprehension of time, so he had figured that he must have fallen asleep the night before. Of course the first thing he would have thought when he woke was that it was morning. He didn't want to disappoint me so didn't want to be late for school. After I had explained this to everyone who was panicking thinking something was really wrong, they started to understand and started to giggle at what Caleb was doing. That caused Caleb to become even more frustrated. Caleb was really uncontrollable as he thought that he should be going to school so he put up a big fight when the doctor tried to pick him up to get him back on the bed. In the end it took the doctor, Caleb's dad, and Mr Black to pick him up and carry him to bed. Mr Black and dad then had to restrain him on the bed as the doctor went and got some sedatives. Dr Walker then sedated him for a second time. Seeing Caleb so uncontrollable scared me a bit as I hadn't seen him that way before. I could understand though as he would have been extremely confused and frustrated with the situation. And deep down I knew he was only doing it for me. Dr Walker then explained that he had to sedate him as a raised heart rate wouldn't do him any good. He was also hoping he would have calmed down and forgotten about school when he awoke. Dr Walker finished up by saying that his speech should return to normal, it was just a side effect from having just come out of a coma. He thought that his speech would be back to normal once he had woken up again and after the sedative had worn off. If his speech hadn't returned to normal by then Dr Walker knew that it could be more serious, and that Caleb could have brain damage. He didn't want to scare anyone more than what Caleb already had so he didn't tell them about that. Caleb slept for a couple of hours with me snuggling into him on one side and Dave doing the same on the other side. I don't know how Dave did it as he was lying on the side that had all the wires for Caleb's heart monitor which had all been reconnected, from after he had got up and pulled them all off. Dave must have been uncomfortable as there were a lot of wires and he wasn't able to shift around much in case he dislodged a sensor. He didn't complain though and seemed content just to be snuggled up with his best friend. Caleb's heart monitor was showing that his heart was beating normally which was really good news, and with him being out of his coma everything seemed to be returning to normal. "I'm sorry... I slept in and didn't go to school," Caleb said whimpered having woken up again. He scared the shit out of me and Dave as we hadn't expected it. Caleb was now crying hard thinking he had failed me. "Caleb it's ten at night, you had woken up only about two hours ago. You weren't late for school. I have to tell you though, you had heart failure and were in a coma that's why you had your time all muddled up," I calmly told my boy and stroked his forehead to ease any fears he had. "I what... Huh... so this isn't your room... no, it's not your room, what happened? All I remember is I started to tell Dave about what happened, and oh hi Dave," he said. He wasn't making a huge amount of sense as he was utterly confused. But I understood what he was trying to say and that was all that mattered. "Hi Caleb, you gave me one hell of a fright," Dave said and burst out crying so happy his friend was alright again. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to, but what did happen?" Caleb said. He was genuinely concerned that he had scared his friend but was still confused as to how. "I can tell you what happened," Dr Walker said scaring all of us as we were so caught up in our conversation no one had noticed him come into the room. "Dan tell him to go away, I don't want to see him..." Caleb started to pout. He obviously still remembered that he was angry with the doctor. "Caleb it's alright, he is only tried to help you. He does realise now that he was wrong. But he also saved your life," I said still stroking his forehead which had helped a lot at keeping him semi calm. He did listen to me and stopped trying to fight. He also figured that he should probably listen. So Dr Walker started off by apologising for sedating him the first time, then also for the second time which had caused Caleb to giggle when he heard how he reacted the last time he woke. His mind was still not in gear properly so he didn't actually realise what he had done. All he knew was he was panicking because he thought he was late for school. Then he explained to Caleb exactly what had happened, and what had caused it. Caleb cried when he realised that technically he had died twice. He was extremely thankful that he was bought back both times. Dr Walker was genuinely remorseful for the part he had played in the events. Caleb who had forgotten all about how angry he was and would have none of it, as he knew the doctor was right. The biggest thing that lead to him having heart problems where the images, the images that even now whilst listening to the doctor he was struggling to supress. He started to cry and asked the doctor when the images would go away. Unfortunately Dr Walker was unable to answer that question. He just told Caleb they would go with time and the more he could try to take his mind off it the better he would get. Dr Miller entered the room as he had been trying to find me so he could change my dressings. He hadn't known that we had been allowed in to see Caleb just yet. So he had been wandering around aimlessly for ages looking for me. Dr Walker apologised to the older doctor for having forgotten to inform him of what was happening. Dr Miller was just glad to have finally found me. He was even happier to see Caleb was awake. Which he had already concluded was probably because of me. "Hello Caleb, welcome back to the land of the living," Dr Miller joked with a big smile on his face that he could no longer contain. "Hello, Dr Miller. I'm sorry I put your patient through so much stress," Caleb said sincerely in between sobs. Being reminded he had died had upset him again. Dr Miller quickly realised his faux pas and that Caleb was still very sensitive about it. "I'm sorry Caleb. I only meant it as a joke. Nothing really matters now because it is great to see you are well again," he made sure to choose his words a lot more carefully this time because he didn't want to upset the boy again. "Right Dan it's time to change your dressings. I will get you a wheelchair and take you back to your room to do this..." Dr Miller stated. "Can you do them here, as it might help me," Caleb interrupted. He had thought that maybe seeing how much my wounds had healed might help get rid of the images. "I don't know Caleb. Just wait a minute, Dr Walker and I will discuss it," Dr Miller said. "It's just maybe seeing how well Dan has healed might help get rid of the images that keep repeating in my head," Caleb said struggling to stop himself crying. Both doctors had taken into account what Caleb had said, and were discussing as to whether my wounds had healed sufficiently for the boys idea to have any chance at working. They concluded it probably wasn't going to matter as if they took me away, even for a short period of time, it was more than likely going to be detrimental to Caleb. "OK Caleb, you'll get your way. Now Dave do you want to stay or would you prefer to leave?" Dr Walker had decided to go and do some other stuff. It was Dr Miller who came back in and asked our little friend who was still snuggled up to Caleb on the other side of him. "Yeah, I think I might stay, coz I can always go later if I can't handle it," Dave replied tentatively not really sure whether he was doing the right thing or not. Caleb just gave him a hug and whispered at how brave he had been. Mum and dad decided it was best if they left, so they went to get some fresh air outside. Dr Miller then started to pull the sheet off me, but Caleb decided it would be easier if the sheet was off the bed. He struggled but managed to rip the white hospital sheet off everyone and throw it on the ground. He got a displeased look from the doctor in the process. Now with the sheet out of the way Dr Miller proceeded to take off my hospital gown leaving me completely naked. Although Caleb's robe was more for decoration as all the sensors he had on meant the robe didn't hide anything. It made me feel more at ease. Dr Miller then gently and carefully removed the dressings and threw them in the bin, before he left to get the disinfectant and another set of dressings. This gave Caleb and Dave a chance to see how well I was healing. Dave started to turn pale at seeing my stitched up wounds and turned his head away. Caleb gave me a smile indicating he was happy with what he saw. But I wasn't sure whether he was meaning the wounds or my now exposed pecker. "Wow, your wounds are a lot better than when I pulled you out of the water," Caleb commented not thinking too much of it. Dave having heard Caleb's comment couldn't help but try and envision what it must have been like before, which made him go a real pale white colour all over. He could feel his stomach starting to churn. So he hoped out of bed and ran to the door. He looked left and right down the corridors till he saw where the toilets were. He started to head towards them but he only made it a couple of steps before he felt his stomach cramp. He threw up right there in the middle of the corridor. "Shit, I didn't mean to upset him, I will be back," Caleb said, he then reached down to his crotch and released his pecker from the confines of his catheter. He then proceeded to hop out of bed but this time he cautiously dropped himself over the side. He made sure he got his footing before trying to walk. He also used this time to strip the robe completely off as he knew it was going to be a nuisance. He also stripped himself of all the sensors carefully so that he didn't break anything. Having got his footing and feeling strong enough to try to walk, he set off. He looked like a drunken sailor on a boat during a storm, but he was walking. He stumbled like that all the way to the doorway which he firmly grabbed hold of and used it to support him. He then hugged the wall out of the room and started to follow Dave. He found Dave about ten feet from the doorway. He was bent over crying. In front of him was a massive pile of puke. He was crying so bad he hadn't noticed his now naked friend heading down the corridor towards him. That was until something grabbed him from behind and started to hug him. Dave noticed at this point that whoever it was, was really struggling at this stage to stay on their feet. He could feel himself having to support more and more of their weight. I'm so Sorry Dave. I didn't think when I passed that comment. I had forgotten how squeamish you are," Caleb said in a soothing apologetic voice. "It's alright. But why the hell are you out here. You are supposed to be in bed resting," Dave replied concerned his friend was yet again putting others before himself. "I had to come. I upset you and you know how I don't like to do things like that. Also... um... you're going to have to help me back as I don't think I can walk any further," Caleb said now feeling really sheepish for getting himself in such a dumb position. Behind him Dr Walker had come sprinting into Caleb's room because when the boy got up and taken the sensors off it sent an alarm through to the nurses office saying that he had flat lined. "You are pretty dumb at times. But I love you for it, because you really do show how much you care about people. Even if you put yourself in stupid situations," Dave said sincerely. He loved the feeling of Caleb hugging and comforting him. He really missed having his best friend at school with him for reasons like this. If you ever needed someone to comfort you it had to be Caleb. Dave's parents where heading towards Caleb's room when they saw just outside the door a naked Caleb giving their son a hug. They also noticed the big mess their son had left in the hallway, so had started to figure out what had happened. "Caleb you need to get you back into your bed and you could have at least kept your robe on. What were you thinking?" Dave's parents told the boy sternly which had caused them both to jump because they hadn't noticed them turning up. Caleb just stood up and swayed his hips towards the adults getting them to blush. But really they could only laugh at his exhibitionism. They actually couldn't really believe it as when Caleb used to stay the night with Dave, the boys always had to shower separately. Caleb always used to be embarrassed at people seeing him naked. Even they were never allowed to help Caleb when he was in the shower. Seeing him like this showed how much I had changed him but they weren't really sure as to whether it was such a good thing. Especially when they saw him doing things like this, in the middle of a hospital. The way Caleb was swaying his hips was causing his soft one inch pecker to swing round and round in circles. It surprised him a little that it was still soft especially after he had been hugging Dave. But what surprised him more was he was deliberately showing off his boy bits to Dave's parents, and everyone else who was coming and going down the corridor. He used to be really shy about his body. The last time he had stayed the night with Dave he had slipped in the shower and banged his head really bad. He still had to try and cover his modesty before he would allow Dave's parents to help him. As a result he had ended up in hospital for a couple of weeks because of the fall. I had definitely changed him for the better. He was no longer a shy timid little boy. No, he had become a lot more outgoing and most importantly he was no longer embarrassed by his body. Still swaying his hips Caleb started to have to hug the wall more and more. Then without any warning his legs gave way. Dave again managed to catch him, and Dave's parents quickly came over to help. They grabbed an arm each and lifted him back to his feet, and started to walk him back to his room. "Well it's good to see your all right again Caleb, but you have got to take things easy," Dave's dad said with a huge element of relief in his voice at having seen Caleb was almost back to normal. "It's also good to see that you are no longer embarrassed with your body. You are such a cute little man, but you need to learn not to show it off like that in places like this," he whispered. He knew that Caleb wasn't the sort of person to take things too far. But he still thought it best to warn him as any responsible adult would. With Dave's parent holding up an arm each Caleb walked back into the room and was greeted with a less than impressed Dr Walker. Thankfully because I had told him what had happened he fully understood why Caleb had done such a thing. He was upset because for a moment Caleb had scared the shit out of him. Because he had thought that he had arrested again. Caleb was helped back into bed, and was immediately cuddled by me. I held him in a tight embrace so that he couldn't escape again. While Caleb had been outside the room trying to comfort Dave, Dr Miller had come back in and finished dressing my wounds. I had used this time to probe further into what was wrong with Caleb, but the doctor wouldn't tell me. He just said it was up to Caleb to tell me when he felt fit. I protested telling him that Caleb wouldn't tell me because he doesn't like to worry people with his problems. Dr Miller just smiled and said to me that Caleb cares too deeply about me to keep it secret forever. If there was anyone to break down that barrier of Caleb's it was going to be me. I also asked him a little sheepishly how much his heart could handle at the moment. The doctor just smiled knowing full well what I was referring to. And he said not to worry he would be fine, although it was probably best to leave that till morning. But he would ensure our privacy. It was at this stage Dr Walker had burst into the room, looking bewildered when he saw Caleb was nowhere to be seen. I explained to him what had happened. He was a bit shocked that Dr Miller hadn't gone out to look for the boy. Dr Miller just replied that he was just out the door and that he wasn't too concerned with Caleb's health, as the boy had managed to walk out there, so he must be fine. I also suddenly remember about the excruciating pain I had felt just after they had removed Caleb from my room when things went south with him. I told both doctors about the incidents. They stood there wide eyed in shock and disbelief at what I had told them. They then said to me that what they thought had happened was I had experienced telepathic pain as a result of Caleb going into cardiac arrest. They told me they had heard of such a thing, and that some twins seem to experience similar phenomenon when something happened to the other twin. But this was the first time they had met someone who had experienced it, and the degree to which I had was even more of a surprise. They quickly recovered as Caleb came through the door. They thought it best that this wasn't told to Caleb as it would cause him to worry about me. They told me to keep it quiet, and then continued on as if I hadn't said a thing. Dr Walker never said anything to Caleb when he came back in and got put back in bed. He just came over and gave him a hug followed by a smile. The look on his face told Caleb the rest which was to not do that again. He hooked up the sensors all over again and left us to it. Dave's parents told Dave that he was going to have to say goodbye because now that Caleb was fine again they wanted him back at school. Even if there was only one day left before the weekend. They told him however they would come back on Saturday to visit. So Dave reluctantly gave Caleb and me a kiss and a cuddle and said goodbye. He then dragged his feet as he followed his parent's back to their car. Mr Black who had just come back again, after having decided it was probably best if he disappeared for a while as a result of Caleb's first outburst. He talked to Dr Miller finding out when Caleb was likely to be well enough to go back to school. After hearing what the doctor had to say he came over to the bed and ruffled both of our hair. He said to Caleb that it looks like he will be getting his helicopter ride on Monday. That remark resulted in a huge smile spread across Caleb's face. Not so much for the ride he was actually looking forward to going back to school. He had noticed that since having seen my wounds, the images that were playing in his head were a lot less vivid. For once he could properly concentrate on other things. So going back to school was hopefully going to help him forget about everything that had happened. He really couldn't wait. Mr Black just smiled back at the boy, after seeing how happy he was that he was going back to school. He then told us to rest up, and get better and he would keep in touch. He then gave us a hug then left the room. Aside from Dr Miller who was busy doing things away from us, we were now alone in the room. I decided now was probably the best time to press him again about what was wrong with his heart. He gave a deep sigh and started to say that he didn't want to worry me about it. But he still decided that he better spill. He knew I wasn't going to drop the subject. He told me about what his condition entailed, but said it was generally manageable through medication and not putting too much strain on his heart. He also told me about his numerous hospital visits because he had ignored the symptoms. He made it perfectly clear though that this was the first time that he had got so bad that his heart had actually stopped. He was trying his best to play down his condition so I wouldn't worry about him. I was impressed that he had told me everything, and not just given me a shortened version. I could see Dr Miller on the other side of the room smiling. He also mouthed `I told you so' before he went back to doing whatever it was he was doing. Caleb fell asleep not long after finishing his story as he was knackered from the events. I followed not long afterwards with my mind now at ease because Caleb was going to be OK. Mum and dad entered the room not long after I had fallen asleep. They just stood there smiling as their two little boys lay there butt naked hugging each other. We were both radiating the love and comfort that had for each other. Dad saw the sheet that Caleb had discarded on the floor when he had gotten up. So he went over picked it up and draped it over us before tucking it in and giving us both a kiss goodnight. Mum gave us a kiss and cuddle too. Dr Miller suddenly aware of their presence told them that they had missed a bit of excitement. He then took them out of the room so as to not wake the sleeping beauties. He told them about how Dave had reacted when he had seen my cuts and how Caleb had chased after him. That caused both parents to smirk as they were no longer surprised by Caleb's actions. He also told them about the pain that I had felt when Caleb was having his issues with his heart. That had Caleb's dad a bit concerned as to whether something was still wrong with me. Mum on the other hand suddenly remembered the incident and was concerned that it may have happened again. The doctor eased their fears by telling them what he thought had happened. Both parents were realising just how in tuned in to each other we were. They thought that was a little scary. Once Dr Miller had finished telling them everything he left them to it. The parents decided to spend the night in a hotel again. Mainly because they knew we would want our privacy in the morning, and they didn't want to intrude. I was surprised when I woke up the next morning and saw Caleb's closed eyelids. It wasn't often I woke up before Caleb. So I knew that now was my chance to thank the boy properly. I knew that being in a hospital bed we couldn't be too adventurous. But I was still going to make him feel good. So I struggled quite a lot as I turned myself around so that my face was at Caleb's crotch. I then took hold of the little one inch toy and started to pull the foreskin back. I gently stroked it feeling it come back into life. I was so pleased with myself when I had Caleb to his full three inches of hard boy meat. I then licked the glistening pinkish red glands hearing a little moan escape from Caleb's mouth. I then proceeded to put my mouth fully around the engorged meat and started to suck my lover off. I almost jumped and dropped the delicious piece of meat from my mouth when I felt my tool get engulfed by a warm moistness. It was when I felt something coarse slid up and down my quickly stiffening pole I realised what was happening. Because of how I was facing I had inadvertently given Caleb unrestricted access to my own boy toy. That had disappointed me a little as I wanted to please Caleb without getting it back in return. It also drove me wild though as I had never tried a 69 before and the sensations where incredible. The pleasure was immense I had been in heaven tasting Caleb's delicious boy meat in my mouth. I was really enjoying giving him a blow job to. But getting sucked at the same time as sucking off my boyfriend was so much more pleasurable. Needless to say with both us boys sucking off the other neither of us was going to last long. I felt my impending orgasm come first. I felt my balls contract and I started to feel my body tense. But I knew I had to hold on. I desperately wanted to cum at the same time as Caleb. I didn't have to wait long as almost straight away I felt Caleb tense. I watched his tiny balls pretty much disappear into the boy's body. "Humph, Humph, ahhh, ohhhh , ahhh, jeezeus, Oh Fuck, Oh Fuck," we screamed in unison as we both climaxed at the same time. I felt Caleb's throbbing cock get red hot before it spasmed like crazy in my mouth. Whist at the same instant I felt my cock explode into the depths of Caleb's hungrily awaiting mouth. I felt Caleb swallow three good gulps of my watery boy cum and each time he swallowed it made my dick spasm again. That sent more incredible feelings coursing through my body. I was starting to wonder whether this orgasm was ever going to stop. Finally our cocks and our bodies settled down. And we both collapsed and fell asleep again. Thankfully our now wilted dicks had fallen from each other's mouths otherwise it might have been even more embarrassing. Dr Miller entered the room and saw an unusual sight. The two glowing naked bodies were facing opposite ends of the bed with each boys face not far away from the other boys crotch. It didn't take a genius to work out what had gone on. The doctor just smiled then left the room again letting the boys recover from their experience. After having left the room he saw the boy's parents heading his way. Calmly he told them it may be best if they wait a while before going in. Caleb's dad just joked are they at it again, which got a smile from the doctor. But he answered in the negative, saying no they weren't but the way they are laying at the moment would suggest they had been. And then he left them to it. Caleb's dad and Dan's mum couldn't help themselves as they poked their head in to have a look. The doctor was right they the way they were laying left nothing up to the imagination. They both smiled at the cute sight, and started to leave. "Morning dad and Dan's mum," Caleb said noticing them at the door as he awoke. "Good morning son. I can see it that it really has been a good morning for you," his dad replied with a smirk across his face. Caleb looked at him confused but then saw the way Dan was lying and just smiled back. "Yeah, you could say that it's already been a good morning," he said a little embarrassed. But he still just gave a big smile to his dad. There wasn't really anything else he could do, as everything they had done was pretty obvious. "Well it's good to see you are a lot better, and having a bit of fun again. Just remember to take it easy," Dan's mum said still smiling at the scene. But knowing that it showed how much better the boys were feeling. That made her feel even happier. "Huh... what's happening...? Oh, hi mum and dad," I said finally waking from my orgasm induced sleep, not taking enough notice at how I was still lying. "Good morning son, I think it's time for you to face the right way in bed before someone other than the doctor comes in," his mum said. I just gave a look of total confusion until I realised that I was still lying with my head to Caleb's crotch, which was stiff again. I was mortified but saw Caleb was completely at ease with the situation so I calmed down. I struggled again to turn my body around so I was facing the right way. It was at this stage that I noticed that I also had a piss boner. I almost panicked and tried to cover myself but quickly realised that it was already too late for that. I had just been caught in a far more embarrassing position. Caleb finally noticed his morning wood. He swore and then started to lift himself out of bed. Whilst in the meantime I was struggling to put the condom type catheter over my engorged dick. "And what do you think you're doing young man?" Caleb's dad asked his son sternly. As Caleb was dropping his legs over the side of the bed, and then slowly eased himself to the floor ensuring his footing was secure. "Going to the toilet," Caleb replied in a matter of fact manner. And then he pointed down to his three inch piss boner. Both parents were a bit taken back by how brazen he was. "Why don't you just use... Here let me help you. We better put on your robe to try to cover your pointer as much as possible," Caleb's dad said realising there wasn't much point in trying to make him use his catheter, as at that point he was well through removing all the sensors. In any case once Caleb had made up his mind he wasn't going to change it for anyone. Having now stripped off all the sensors again Caleb started to try and walk. But he got held back by his dad who made him lift up his arms. Caleb had to lean back against the bed in order to retain his balance while he lifted his arms. He was surprised that it took so much effort to lift them in the air. With his arms now raised his dad dropped the robe over his head and down his torso. It ended up getting caught on Caleb's hard boy meat on the way down, so initially at least it didn't hid a thing. Caleb dropped his arms breathing out a huge sigh of relief when he did that. His father unhooked the robe from his son's erection and pulled it down so that it was fully covered. He then looked at the results. Well it was still pretty obvious with the way his crotch tented out but it was the best they could do. Caleb wanted to walk unassisted but his dad thought it best if he at least guided the way. So he took a light grasp of his son's shoulders, and did his best to keep the boy walking in a straight line. He could feel with the way that the pressure was moving from one of his hands to the other as they walked, that Caleb was still having a lot of problems with his balance. But with him guiding the way he at least looked like he was walking straight. They passed Dr Miller who had just entered the room after hearing the alarm go off at the nurses' station. He hadn't worried about it and had casually made his way back to the room figuring that Caleb had probably got out of bed for some reason. So when he got to the room he wasn't at all surprised to see Caleb's dad leading his son out of the room. He could tell that they were heading for the toilet by the way that Caleb was following a tent in his robe. He smiled at the boy as they passed, while he was thinking that this boy sure is stubborn. Most other boys would have either used a bed pan, or put their catheter back on. But no not Caleb he had to do things the hard way and use the toilet. Caleb's dad led his son down the corridor to the toilets. Caleb managed to be able to push the door open by himself, but even that was hard work. And they entered. There was a long stainless steel urinal directly opposite the door. To the left at the end of the urinal there were three cubicles. The toilets were painted the same sterile white colour as everything else seem to be in the hospital, but unlike most public toilets these were actually clean. Caleb headed straight to the stainless steel urinal. Because pissing into a normal toilet in his state would have been too much hard work. Still getting guided by his father he lifted the front of his robe as they approached the urinal. As soon as Caleb thought that he was close enough to it he let rip. His bladder was that full that he couldn't have waited the next couple of steps. He let out a huge sigh of relief as his bloated bladder emptied itself through the thin yellow stream erupting from his cock. It slowly deflated as his bladder emptied. By the time he was done taking his piss his dick was back at its normal soft one inch length. He shook the remaining piss out and dropped the robe. He had been glad his dad had held him while his took his piss and he wouldn't have had the balance to keep himself upright while trying to hold his robe up at the same time. "Wow it looks like you really did need to go," his father stated. Amazed at how long it took his son to take his piss. "Right let's get you cleaned up while we are up and about," he said referring to the showers that where a couple of doors further down the corridor. Once again his father guiding him as they headed out of the toilets. But his dad had to open the door for him this time, because as hard as he tried he didn't have the strength to pull the door open. Once out of the toilets they headed to the shower room. Caleb was able to push open the door to the room. It seemed he was alright pushing doors, but he couldn't pull them open. His father made a quick stop at the nurses' station to get a couple of towels, and for something for him to wear in the shower. And then he headed back to the shower room. The shower room was a large wet room covered in white tiles from the floor to the ceiling. There were five showerheads in a row along the wall opposite the door. There was a curved stainless steel track coming out from the wall on one side of each showerhead, which formed almost a half-circle as it stretched out towards the middle of the room before curving back to its fixing on the other side of the showerhead. On each rail hung a slime green coloured shower curtain. On the wall opposite the showers, beside the door were a line of waterproof seating for the patients who weren't able to stand to take their shower. Each shower also came complete with a little rack which held some hospital grade soap, hair shampoo and conditioner. Caleb's dad sat his son down on a seat as he started the shower running. He then adjusted the temperature till he was satisfied it was going to be right for his son. He then went back over and stripped the robe off Caleb, and then stripped himself before putting on the green shower gown the nurse had given him. He then guided his son under the torrent of water, and pulled the curtain around which created a private little shower stall for them. Caleb just stood there enjoying the feeling of the warm water running over his naked body. His dad grabbed the shampoo and started to lather his son's hair. Before he had a chance to rinse off his hair Caleb felt his legs start to buckle, and asked his dad to get a chair. While Caleb supported his weight against a tiled wall and waited. His dad quickly grabbed a chair. One of the chairs that didn't have their clothes and towels on it and he set it down in the middle of the waterfall coming from the shower. He then guided his son to the chair and helped him sit down. Then he proceeded with rinsing out Caleb's hair, and lathering it up again with conditioner before rinsing that out too. Caleb's brown hair now had a nice clean sheen to it, and seemed to sparkle under the running water. Caleb's dad now grabbed the soap and started to later up his son's torso, arms and legs. He was a bit wary of cleaning his son's privates as he wasn't sure how Caleb would react. But Caleb really didn't care as already this morning his dad had seen him in far more embarrassing situations that he thought nothing of this. Sensing his son wasn't worried he slowly reached down and gently took hold of his son's little piece of meat. He actually couldn't believe that the little one inch thing in his hand could grow so much when the boy got stiff. Very gently Caleb's dad lathered up his son's privates. He even pulled the foreskin back and cleaned under it. Once he had finish he let go of his son, whom had become semi-erect from the gentle touch. And then his father rinsed the soap off his son's now glistening body. The next part was going to be the hardest for Caleb because he was already feeling weak again. With a helping hand from his dad he stood back up and then faced the wall. He put out his arms and leaned against the wall for support as his dad clean his back, and butt. Then his dad guided him back under the river of water to rinse off his back. Before he helped him back onto the seat and not a moment too soon for Caleb, as he was really struggling to stand now. Caleb's dad turned off the water. Then he snuck out through the curtain and grabbed a towel for Caleb, and handed it to him to start drying off with. He then disappeared again for a couple of minutes to dry and change himself before coming back to help his son. Caleb hadn't really tried to dry himself as he was far too tired now. So his father had to do all the work for him. Once he had finished drying off his son, and had him stand up so he could dry Caleb's back. He wrapped the towel around his son's midsection, and sat him back on the seat while he went to get Dr Miller to give him a hand to get Caleb back to his room. Caleb's dad and the doctor arrived to the shower room. They grabbed an arm each and supported Caleb so that all the boy had to do was move his legs like he was walking, so that he didn't drag his feet along the floor. But by about two thirds of the way back to his room Caleb was too tired to even pretend to walk, so ended up dragging his feet behind him anyway. He got a worried look from both me and my mum as he was dragged back into his room, and put back in bed. I reached around with my good arm and removed the wet towel from Caleb's waist and threw it on the ground. Dr Miller quickly eased our fears by saying there was nothing wrong. His body still didn't quite have the strength in it to do what Caleb wants it to. A good meal and he should be a lot better again. Dr Miller then left and went to get some food for us. Caleb being so tired from his exercise fell asleep again. Pretty much as soon as the doctor left the room. Caleb's dad told me that he was going to get some breakfast to, and that he would be back later. Mum on the other hand upset me as she told me that she had to go back to work now that everything was fine again. But she would come and check up on us every day after work, because she had told her work that she wouldn't go anywhere until we were out of hospital. She then came and gave us a kiss and a cuddle. She tried to wipe the tears from my eyes because I was crying as I didn't want her to go again. She didn't take much notice and followed Caleb's dad out of the room. I was now all alone as my little buddy was asleep beside me, and both the adults had gone. Still crying I snuggled into my warm lover and just lay there enjoying the pleasure I felt from being with him. Dr Miller returned carrying two plates of food, and looked a bit surprised to see no one else in the room. He wasn't surprised but a little disappointed when he saw Caleb fast asleep in my arms. He was thankful that he had decided to get cold food for us. He set aside Caleb's plate. He then waited for me to untangle myself from my cute little lover, and prop myself up so he could hand me my food. I was slowly getting better at feeding myself, as now most of the food went into my mouth. But I still created a big mess of myself. I heard a little giggle and saw Caleb was awake again and laughing at the mess I had made of myself. "Looks like I'm going to have to give you a sponge bath," my cheeky little angel said with a big smile on his face. "Mmm. I don't know whether I can trust you with that," Dr Miller said but the smile on his face indicated that he wasn't being serious. "First though you are going to need to eat something," this time there was no doubt he was serious though. He picked up the plate of food he had got for Caleb and handed it to him. Caleb scoffed the food down as quickly as he could. It ended up with him spluttering as he tried not to choke on a spoonful that hadn't gone down the right way. Once he had settled down again he continued to eat his food. But a bit slower this time so he wouldn't choke again. Until he had finished. "Now can I give him his sponge bath?" Caleb asked in earnest as he really did want to clean me up. "Oh I suppose I can let you now," Dr Miller said, knowing this would probably end up with Caleb playing round with me. But he was never going to be able to stop him anyway. He went out a got the stuff for Caleb and bought it back into the room. Caleb surprised us both, as he never had any intention of fooling around. He did a very thorough job which Dr Miller was very impressed with. The sensual touch from him giving me the bath had its usual effects on my body. But Caleb pretty much ignored my 3 ½ inch bone except for to clean it thoroughly. I couldn't help but moan as he washed me especially when he washed my prick. The feelings he was giving me were really intense, but more in a gentle loving way than a sexual way. I was a bit disappointed when he let go of my boner to wash down my legs. I was also very impressed though that he didn't feel like he needed to help me out with it. He had me turn around and did the same great job on my back and buttocks, before he finished up and told the doctor that I was clean. "Wow, you have done an outstanding job Caleb, and you surprised me by not fooling around. I am impressed," Dr Miller said in total appreciation. "Yeah well, he doesn't need to get off all the time. If he did there would be nothing in it, it would become meaningless," Caleb said surprising both of us with his maturity, and we both realised that he was right, as you can have too much of a good thing. "Well anyway you two, when your parents come back we will start to move you back to Dan's currently empty room. We will need this room for other patients. As you are fine again Caleb I don't think you really need to be in this ward anymore" Dr Miller told us causing me to start crying again. Caleb gave me a confused look but still proceeded to hug and comfort me anyway. "Don't wait around for mum to show up, as she thinks it's more important for her to be back at work now," I sobbed, receiving a bigger hug from Caleb as he now realised why I was sad. "Oh, I'm sorry Dan. I didn't realise, but you are pretty much fine now. As soon as we get your body working properly again you will be out of here. Your mum does have to earn money to keep food on the table for you," he said sincerely hoping it might calm me down. But it was never going to work because I wasn't so much upset with mum for going back to work. I was more upset because I didn't know when I was going to see her again. Even though she said she would be staying around I knew that if she got told that she was needed somewhere else then she wouldn't think twice and would just go. Caleb and I just continued hugging. I slowly regained control of my emotions but didn't want to let Caleb go, so we just stayed like that. Even after dad re-entered the room. Dr Miller gave him a brief rundown on what had happened, and what was going to happen. I heard Dr Miller actually beaming with praise as to how well Caleb had been when he gave me a sponge bath. That caused dad to smile proudly knowing that his little man was pretty mature about things, and wasn't the sex addict that he was starting to think he was becoming. The move back to my room went smoothly and only required the doctor and Caleb's dad, as the doctor figured there wasn't much point in hooking Caleb back up to his heart monitor, just to have it disconnected again the next time the boy decided that he wanted to get up. As we left the room the doctor slid the patient name tag out of the slider just to the left of the door, as you enter the room, to indicate that the room was vacant, and then wheeled the bed down the corridors till we got back to my room in the children's ward. He stopped briefly at the door to slide Caleb's name tag in the slider at the door directly under my name, then wheeled me back in. My room seemed so much brighter than what Caleb's had been. I finally realised why. My room had a large window in which the bright summer sun was streaming through as my room was at the edge of the building. Whereas Caleb's room had been in the centre of the building so it didn't have a window. I could see out the window to a children's playground, which was surrounded by an assortment of trees. It was really pretty, especially compared to the bland internal structure of the hospital. But it made me wish that I could go outside. Dr Miller noticed me staring out of the window and realised that I had been cooped up in the hospital for a long time now. He said if he got a chance after my rehab session he would try and take us both for a walk outside. Rehab was pretty quick, as it was more about easing me back into things at this stage. I had to try and get out of bed and support my weight for as long as I could. I was able to stand a lot longer than I could yesterday, but it still wasn't very long before I felt my knees buckle. I had to get helped back into bed. Then I did some light weights trying to strengthen my good arm again. But also to find out how strong my bad arm was. Surprisingly both arms were equal now as I had been using them to sit up in bed. Doing that had gained a lot of strength in what was my bad arm. But I still couldn't bend it very far due to the pain emanating from the stitched up wound. The wound went right up my lower arm all the way to my elbow. With that I just got told to stretch and we would repeat everything again tomorrow. Then Dr Miller left again to get some lunch for us. While I was doing my rehab Caleb decided to go for a walk. That ended up with dad having to carry him back, because he had gone too far and didn't have the strength to make it all the way back. But he was still smiling although the smile was very weak. The funniest part was Caleb was so eager to go for a walk he had forgotten that he still didn't have a robe on. Dad wasn't quick enough to catch him, and he got some funny looks from some of the patients, especially the girls and their parents, as he walked around the children's ward buck naked. Once back in bed, both of us still naked, I asked Caleb whether he was still seeing the nightmares as he hadn't woken me up screaming last night. He said he was still seeing them all the time but they were a lot fuzzier now. He had woken from his nightmare last night, but hadn't screamed because it wasn't as bad as before. Of course he didn't want to worry me again. I gave him a big hug and told him they would go away, but reminded him that we were in this together. So if he got scared I wanted to know about it. I sort of told him off which made him start crying but he agreed not to keep anything from me again. The doctor came back with our lunch, and a couple of clean hospital gowns. To which he told Caleb that he had received some complaints about a boy walking around the ward naked. We all laughed. Caleb and I draped the robes down our fronts like a bib. We had no intention of putting them on. The doctor then gave us our food and we ate it all up. We were really hungry after our exercise. Caleb stayed pretty clean, but tossed his robe on the ground as if it was dirty anyway. Whereas my robe was again a big mess so I threw it down with Caleb's. I was happy it did its job though as I was still clean this time. We heard a knock at the door, so Caleb and I decided we better cover up. We pulled the sheet up and over our naked bodies, before settling in our usual position hugging each other. We thought that it was probably Mr Black. Dr Miller let our visitor in, or should I say visitors, I was horrified when I saw who had come to see us. I tried to break the hug with Caleb as I saw Tim and Luke where here along with Chris and Mrs Milner. I was surprised to see her but wasn't worried about her or Chris seeing us like this. "Don't worry about Tim or Luke... um they sort of already know... and their cool with it," Caleb whispered to me. He was a little worried because he hadn't told me that he had told them about us. He wasn't too sure how I would react. "I told them that day I went to school. I'm sorry I should have waited..." "It's alright Caleb. I know why you felt you had to tell them," I whispered back feeling a lot more at ease with the situation knowing that all my friends knew about or relationship. I continued to hug Caleb as a result. "It's so good to see you're alright Caleb," Chris said running into the room to give Caleb a big hug. Years were rolling down his cheeks he was so happy to see his friend alive again. "You scared the shit out of me," he said still whimpering. Caleb was looking a little confused though as he didn't know Chris had turned up that night. I quickly whispered to him how Chris had known. Caleb's face turned a bit sad knowing he had scared Chris so much. Tim, Luke and Mrs Milner were still at the door staring in disbelief that Caleb and I were happy and looked fine. It was almost like nothing had even happened. Chris had told them about Caleb having a cardiac arrest the next day at school, and they were struggling to believe how quickly he had recovered. "Both of you have scared the shit out of us," Tim eventually said, as he lost control of his emotions and started crying. "I'm so glad that you are both alright," he continued to blubber then finally decided to move and joined Chris giving us hugs. Luke didn't say anything he just wandered over and joined his friends. I could see by the expression on his face he didn't know what to do. Whether to cry or smile, he was confused as to how he was feeling. Caleb just sat up breaking our hug, plus that from Chris and Tim. He reached up and gave Luke a huge hug while whispering in his ear, "it's alright Luke, if you feel you need to cry just let it out," his voice was just so gentle and caring that Luke finally lost it and gave a big hug back and balled his eyes out. "I have been so worried about you two. I haven't been sleeping very well since you both ended up in here. I miss you so much," he blubbered finally releasing the emotions he had been trying to bottle up. Luke has always been the tough guy in our group, so Caleb had worked wonders at getting him to fully open up. Even if he had cried when trying to comfort Caleb earlier he still never fully opened up to how he was feeling. Mrs Milner was still standing at the door crying in happiness, not just at the fact that Caleb and I looked like we had almost fully recovered from our ordeal. But also at how close the group of us were. In all her years teaching she had never seen a group of friends so close to each other as what we were. "I'm glad you talked me into bringing you lot," Mrs Milner said finally. She was also trying to regain some composure. "I have underestimated the lot of you. It seems that you all need each other and I am so happy that I could provide you with that." "Thank you very much Mrs Milner. I am so glad you came too. I know Caleb is thinking the same as me," I said to her as I was really happy that she cared so much about us to not only have come to see us herself but to also bring our friends along. Caleb nodded in agreement as he was still comforting Luke. The others also thanked her again for bringing them. Now that everyone had settled down they all wanted to know what had happened to Caleb. This time he let me tell the story, mainly because I knew more of the details about it than he did. But I also think he was a bit scared that it might start something again. I told them about it right from Dave having turned up and I gave them a brief account as to how Dave fit into the picture. I also told Tim and Luke that if the chance came up they should meet Dave as I knew they would like him. Chris agreed saying that Dave was a cool little guy. I told them everything, forgetting about what I wasn't supposed to have told Caleb. I told them how I had felt a lot of pain at what seemed to be about the same time as Caleb arrested. I got an extremely worried look from Caleb, so I knew I would have some explaining to do later. I think by the end they fully understood our relationship. Well Mrs Milner did, the others already knew from what Caleb had told them about me. For them it reinforced what Caleb had said and showed that it was a two way thing. It was so great being able to tell them everything and know that they weren't judging us. Our friends were so supportive and I was so overwhelmed by it all, and I think they knew it too. They all gave me a big hug and told me how lucky I was that I had Caleb. And also how lucky Caleb was too, they said that they hoped they could find someone as special as we had. But they knew deep down that the chances weren't very high. Mrs Milner was also happy for us. She reminded our friends that even though they may never find a lover so special, at the end of the day the friendship that we all had was special in itself. We all looked at her a bit confused as we thought they our friendship was just normal, nothing special. So she explained to us why our friendship was so special. Starting from when Caleb first turned up, although she did bring up a couple of examples from our time together before Caleb. She made special note of how the three had been when Caleb made the mistake of going to school, and of course now. She said to us that she had never seen a bunch of friends so close before in her life. She said we weren't ashamed to show our affection to one another, or even our emotions. Sure we may need a little push from time to time. But most friendships everyone still tends to bottle up what they are feeling. Having heard about how Caleb had been treated at his old school she also used that as an example. To which she added she also thought Dave would be a great addition to our group as he was another special sort of friend. Tim, Luke and Chris all looked at Caleb in disbelief and shock at how he had been treated at his old school. Turns out he had never told them about that. Yet again because he didn't want them to worry about him more than need be. Caleb then got told off by all three of them for not having told them, which caused Mrs Milner to laugh under her breath. Of course Caleb just said he didn't want to upset them, and it was old news anyway. They all gave him a hug saying they will never treat him like that. But they don't like to be kept in the dark about things of that sort of nature either. I piped up and told them of my encounter with his old friends. They were pleased with how I handled it, and told Caleb that was the sort of reason that they needed to know. They could protect him if it ever came down to it, but only if they knew beforehand. He agreed and apologised for keeping it from them. He knew full well that they were right. He then got up and gave them a hug totally forgetting he was naked. No one paid any attention, well except for Chris who I saw take in a good look and smile approvingly. He then blushed bright red when he realised I had caught him. That caused me to giggle and everyone turned around to find out why I had giggled. I didn't tell them. But after they had just told my boyfriend off for hiding things from them, I thought I better drop Chris in it. "I'm not going to tell you why I just laughed, but I think you should ask Chris. He knows why," I said feeling a little guilty for betraying him. But then again he just told Caleb off for hiding something while he has been doing the same thing. So everyone turned to face Chris. Even Mrs Milner wanted to know what the boy was hiding. Chris turned an even brighter red. "Um... damn you Dan... but your right. I have something I also should have told you long ago. Dan and Caleb already know... I'm gay too," he blurted out scared of the reaction even though he knew he shouldn't be. "Yeah so. We should tell you off too especially after we just told Caleb off for the same thing. But that still doesn't explain why Dan started giggling," Luke said still confused as to why I had laughed, with Tim and Caleb nodding in agreement. "Well Dan was laughing because... well he caught me taking a peek at what his boyfriend had to offer," he said rather sheepishly blushing bright red again for having to admit that he was deliberately ogling Caleb's package. Luke and Tim just burst out laughing as they suddenly realised that Caleb was as naked as the day he was born. Caleb just wiggled his crotch at the boy, which caused them to laugh even harder. Even Mrs Milner was laughing at Caleb's antics. Although she was a bit surprised by what Caleb was doing. I decided Caleb should stop teasing the poor boy that was just standing there with his eyes firmly fixed on Caleb's package. I gave Caleb a light smack on the back of the leg, and he got the message and sat back down on the bed and pulled the sheet up so it was covering his midsection. "I have to admit to you that even though I am straight. I do agree with Chris and you got one cute little boyfriend there Dan," Tim said, causing Caleb to glow with pride. Everyone else just stared at him not believing what he had just said. "Well it's true. Everything about the boy is just so cute," he said again. "Yeah your right there Tim, I do think Dan made a good find," Luke said not quite believing what he had just said. He still considered himself to be straight, but he realised too that I thought I was straight till I meet Caleb, so he wasn't so sure anymore. "Man Caleb. I don't know how do you do it but it seems everyone you meet you turn gay," he said jokingly. But there was something about Caleb that he was sure would turn the heads of even the straightest of straight guys. "See Chris what did you have to worry about. Oh and just a reminder I am taken," Caleb piped up causing everyone to laugh. The boy had a way of taking the piss of something without being offensive. There was just something in his voice that you couldn't take a dig like that seriously. Even Chris laughed for the first time since having been caught by Dan. "Well now you can all see why Dan is the luckiest kid around," Chris said and he meant it. He loved Caleb but had sort of come to realise that Caleb wasn't right for him. Although he really enjoyed the show that Caleb had put on, and had a painful erection in his denim jeans to prove it. Luckily no one noticed, or if they did they didn't say anything. Chris had realised through the many hugs with Caleb that he was loving, caring and very comforting, but there was something missing. Even though he had never experienced what Caleb and Dan have. He still sensed that the love he felt for Caleb was missing something. We sat around talking for a while longer before Mrs Milner told our friends that it was time to get them home before their parents started to worry. The three boys' gave Caleb and me a hug and a kiss. The kiss surprised me, especially from Tim and Luke. I was really starting to understand what Mrs Milner was talking about earlier. Mrs Milner also gave us both a hug before they all said goodbye and started to leave. Caleb yelled to them he would see them on Monday. The statement had them all shaking their head in disbelief that he would be back again so soon. Then they were gone and Caleb turned to face me. "Right mister. What have you been keeping from me? And I want all of it. After all you told me off earlier for hiding things from you" Caleb demanded. I had expected this, and I knew he was right I had told him off earlier today, while at the same time hiding something from him. I knew I had to spill. So I told him what had happened to me while he was having his problems. I explained what the doctors had said about what they thought had caused it. Caleb started to cry and gave me a hug telling me he was sorry for inflicting me with such pain. I reminded him that I had inadvertently done the same to him and said well we should call it even. He calmed down but snuggled closer to me. I still don't know what it is with him, but he always feels guilty about things that aren't his fault. That's just another reason why I love him so much. Dad came back in the room. Surprisingly we hadn't even noticed that he had gone, he had decided to leave us alone with our company so had gone to the cafeteria. Dr Walker entered not long after dad had arrived and was carrying quite a thick folder. "Hello again you two. I am glad to see you both are looking so much better," Dr Walker said. "Hello Dr Walker. Thank you so much for saving me," Caleb said again as he had forgotten that he had already thanked the doctor. Tears stated rolling down his cheeks again still not really believing that he had died and been bought back to life. "Yeah thank you for being such a big help for my lover," I said to the doctor. "It was my pleasure, but I have come to talk to you about something astonishing that I have just found out. I would have liked to have told everyone but unfortunately I see one has gone. I still think it's important enough to tell you," Dr Walker was saying in the sort of excitement you expect from a kid at an amusement park. Firstly he told us what his proper purpose was in the hospital. Turns out his primary role is to take on the more unique cases that come into the hospital. But given that there aren't many of those types of cases he spends most of his time helping out in the children's ward. When the call from the ambulance came through about an 11 year old boy with heart problem's bought on from emotional shock, the nurse who had taken it gave it immediately to the doctor thinking it could be a case for him. Firstly he didn't think there was anything unique about the case until he received the all the information. The most important piece of information he received was that the shock had been brought on from witnessing his friend have a severe accident, which the boy bravely saved. Now for a boy to go through emotional shock is not such a big deal if it's a parent or another close relative involved. But very rarely is it brought on by a friend because at that age they usually haven't developed enough of an emotional attachment. So Dr Walker had decided to take the case. Dr Walker had always wanted to see a case where the bond between two people is so close that when one person goes through something the other person reacts in similar ways. Never in his mind did he ever think that the first case he would see was from two boys, one being 13 the other only 11. It has been the case he has waited all his life for, and it has developed to be more than he ever expected. In all the case studies that he has read about this sort of connection, none of them have been anything like this case. He started off by telling us that when Caleb had got me out of my coma, just by simply touching me, it started him thinking about whether our medical records may tell more of the story. So he started doing some research to which even he couldn't believe the results. It turns out from the day Caleb was born every time one of us ended up in hospital, the other followed within a couple of hours. The day Caleb was born I was about 2 years 7 months, and had been running around the house like a typical loony toddler. I tripped on something and whacked my head on the corner of the coffee table. I was admitted into hospital the minute Caleb was born at 2:17pm. Due to Caleb's mum having the same condition as I have, Caleb was kept in hospital till they had completed some tests to see whether Caleb had inherited the condition. Instead they found he had a heart condition, and had monitored him till they were satisfied he was alright to go home with his mum and dad. I had healed up at that point and we were both discharged at the exact same minute again. We had both spent fifteen days in hospital. After that every time one of us would have a problem that sent them to hospital, the other would follow close behind. A couple of times we were separated by only the walls of our room. It turns out we were about equal with sending the other to hospital, we seem to take turns. But the one that was most important to me ended up with Caleb being the first one to get admitted. It was the day Caleb had the accident at Dave's place, he had decided to a shower in the morning as opposed to the night before. As it was a Saturday they had slept in so it was about ten in the morning when Caleb took his shower. He got admitted to hospital about thirty five minutes later. I had gotten up early that morning, and been picked up by a so called friend and his dad. We had headed to one of the mountain bike parks in the city. It was about 10:20 when I came off my bike and had my big crash. My so called friend saw the whole thing happen, and panicked and biked away. He didn't even send anyone to help. Thankfully I was stumbled upon by another biker on the same track. I got admitted about an hour after Caleb. We had actually ended up side by side that time but both of us were unconscious, and in surgery. My real friends took it on themselves to deal with the boy whom had left me to die. No violence was involved. As much as Luke wanted to beat the crap out of the boy. Instead they made the boy tell everyone in the school one by one, exactly what he had done to me. After that no one wanted to be his friend because no one could trust him. By the time I got back to school he had left and gone to a new school. It's sort of a shame as I really don't miss him. But up until then he had seemed like a good sort. Any guilt I had left about being responsible for dad's death vanished at knowing it was just meant to be. I couldn't blame Caleb either as we didn't even know each other then. I was actually glad to hear that piece of information because it really did clear my conscience. When Caleb ended up in hospital after the severe beating he received at school, it was the only time I ended up in hospital from not having severely injured myself. I had come down with a severe bout of the flu, and ended up hospitalized just fifteen minutes after Caleb had been admitted. The flu that I had was so severe that I had lost consciousness. I had to be airlifted to hospital. Yet again we recovered at the same pace, and were both discharged five minutes apart, two weeks later. We were all absolutely stunned with what Dr Walker had revealed. The doctor then asked us whether we would allow him to do an extensive report into our relationship. He did explain to us that it would be very personal and mention some things that we may be embarrassed about. Like my wet dream when Caleb woke me up from my coma. Caleb and I discussed it for a bit, the only concern we had was as to whether just anybody could read it, or whether it was a strictly medical thing. Dr Walker had anticipated this question and told us that there would be two copies, one with full details including names of which only we could allow people to view. The medical profession that deals in this sort of thing would be the only other ones to have unrestricted access to that report. The second copy would be available to the public, under the official information act, but with this one all names would be removed. With that, we discussed for a little bit longer before deciding that it was in the best interests for the public, and anyone else with our sort of relationship. We agreed to allow him to continue making the report, but we decided that we were comfortable enough in our relationship that he only needed to make the one copy. Dr Walker was so happy he hugged us both as he thanked us for allowing him to do this. Although he thought it best to still do the second report, as he was still worried about how other people may react to it. He said he would go over things with Dr Miller first, as he was going to need his help too. Then he left. Mum surprised me when she turned up five minutes later, and came in and gave both Caleb and me a big hug and kiss. It would have been one of the only times that she had kept her word. Dad told her that when she got the chance she should go and see Dr Walker, as he had some very interesting information to which she should know. Mum decided that she wanted to catch up on the day's events first. We thought it best for the doctor to tell her the main story, so the rest of the day's events didn't take long to tell her. We briefly told her about my rehab, and then our visitors, and well that was pretty much all that had happened since she had left. Dad then led her away to find the doctor. On the way back he was stopped by a TV reporter, who wanted to have a brief talk with him. "Hi I'm J C, I was wondering if we could have a moment. I know you have said that you want some private time. But I don't know whether you have been watching my show as a lot of people are wanting a full update about the boys," the reporter said very sincerely. He was a genuine guy, and he ran a current events program at 7:00pm. Straight after the 6 o'clock news. His program usually dealt with trying to help people out when they felt that no one else was listening. But he also tried to add as many goodwill stories as he could. "Pleased to meet you J C, but I have already given you the latest update," Caleb's dad said, as he had made sure to give the media all the updates because he had known there was an overwhelming demand from people worried about the two boys. "I know and I thank you very much for that. What I was meaning is the public would really love to see the boys give an interview. If they are up to it of course. I have inundated with e-mails asking for the boy's story, as told by the boys themselves. As, well you know how the media is," J C said, knowing the father understood the dig at the general media. "Well I can show you to them, but it is their decision. I won't make it for them," dad said as he led the reporter to our room. Caleb and I just stared wide eyed and hugged each other closer when J C entered the room. We couldn't believe that someone of his calibre would want to see us. Both of us were too young to really pay much attention to his show, but everyone still knew who he was. "Hello Caleb, and hello Dan. I was wondering if you two were up for an interview," J C said with a warm friendly smile on his face. Of course we agreed, especially when he said that the country really wants to know our story from our point of view. In some ways I was surprised with the reporter as he never once said anything about us lying in the same bed hugging each other, and I suppose it was this that made us feel even more comfortable with him. Having agreed to the interview, he asked us a few questions about how we wanted to do it. As his show is live he asked us whether we would be comfortable doing it live, or whether we want to prerecord it. We told him that we thought that pre-recorded was the only option because we weren't sure that we could tell everything inside the half an hour time frame. He replied that he had permission from the station that he could stay on air as long as it took to tell the story. As there were so many people interested in our story it would be a huge boost to the ratings. So we decided to do it live. I still don't know why we decided to do it live, it was probably because the whole country wanted to know our version. We felt that the least we could do was tell our story live on TV. The next question was whether we wanted to do it in our bed, or in a proper room. We were so comfy in our bed that we decided that it was the best place for it. To that he suggested that we should at least probably wear a robe for the interview. He had a big smile on his face telling us he wasn't worried about outr relationship. We still had the sheet over our midsection but it was obvious because of our bare chests that we had nothing on. We blushed a little but agreed that we would be wearing something during the interview. After asking a couple more questions he then stated that what we decided to tell the nation was up to us. He then gave us a little warning by telling us that he knew that most people would understand our relationship and be happy for us. But there are a lot of people who may not see it that way. He said it was totally up to us as to what we said about our relationship, but he promised that he would not ask us any questions on it. He really was a good guy. He made us feel totally at ease with everything. He told us they would be over at some stage tomorrow to record an advert. He also advised us that they would set up about 6:00 Monday night. So that they were ready to go on air at 7:00. After he left we were buzzing with excitement. Even though we knew we would probably end up in tears on national TV, we were excited about the fact that the nation cared. We could also tell our own story to the people, as opposed to the media version they had heard. We also agreed with each other that we would tell almost everything. The only things we were going to leave out were, well the sex stuff of course. Otherwise we were happy to tell the nation about or relationship, because we were comfortable with it. We figured that if anyone tried to mess with us because of it, that we knew enough people who would fight for us if needed. Ten minutes after the reporter left mum came back in looking completely dumbstruck. She was struggling to comprehend to report the doctor had just told her. She was even more baffled with Caleb and I rabbiting on about being on TV tomorrow and Monday. Once she finally came back to earth she asked us what we were on about, and told us to tell her one at a time. Caleb figured that she was my mother so I should be the one to tell her. She was a little sceptical about us doing the interview, but she wasn't going to stand in our way. It was our decision. After a while of chatting away Caleb and I drifted off to sleep. It had been a hectic day and we were extremely tired. Once we were asleep mum and dad headed off to the hotel again. I was woken during the night from Caleb tossing and turning, I felt him suddenly sit bolt upright with a gasp, before he lay back down and snuggled into me tightly and fall back to sleep. I was a little annoyed from what I had said to him earlier, that he hadn't woken me. He should have told me he had a nightmare. Although I'm not really sure he actually woke up this time from it this time. If he had it was only briefly he may not have comprehended it, so I just let it slide this time. ************ Comments are always welcome at (pennywise3636@gmail.com). Please keep all comments clean.
