In the summer of 2007 I was ten years old. Before I go any further allow me to introduce myself. I am Mike. No last name to give and no last name to even remotely connect me to anyone that is of any importance. So its just Mike. I currently attend Blueride Elementary School. I have been going there since I was in kindergarten. I am in the fifth grade and I have a secret. I am gay and I have a boyfriend. This is the story of how it all started and I met Cody a person who changed my life forever. The school year had started at Blueridge Elementary School and as usual I was nervous on my first day. I had been going to Blueridge since I was in Kindergarten so I know pretty much all of the teachers. Never was really much for friends. I have always tended to keep to myself and pass on through life. That is until I met Cody. Cody was in the same grade as me and he and I had the same classes so I saw him pretty much everyday. So it wasn't unusual for me to see him on the playground. Today would prove to be a different day than any other that I had ever had in my life. I was on the playground over by the swing set doing what I normally did when I was out for recess; swinging of course. Cody was over by the slide talking to some friends of his or some classmates I am still not really sure which but he kept looking over at me with interest in his eyes. Finally he came over to the swings and leaned against the swing set pole and said to me. "Hi my name is Cody what's yours?" At first I was a little shocked I had never had someone come right up to me and speak to me let alone introduce themselves. "Mike," I replied. I kept on swinging while he just continued to stand there. "You want to hang out with me and some other guys after school?" He asked. I stopped dead in the swing and just looked at him. Was this kid seriously asking me to join him and his friends after school to hang out? "Sure I guess," I replied back. Cody just smiled at me. "Alright meet me by the bike rack after the last bell rings for the day." Then he turned and walked away. That was strange I thought to myself as the bell rang to end recess. I went with the rest of the kids inside and then we went to lunch and I didn't think about Cody for the rest of the day until the bell rang signaling the end of the school day. I walked out of the doors on the side of the school where the bike rack was at and sure enough there was Cody standing there with a couple of other boys waiting for me to show up. "Ah there you are," He said. "Didn't think you would show up" We got on our bikes and rode out of the school parking lot and out onto the sidewalk. We turned down past the high school and onto the bike path that led to the Mall that was right down the street. A lot of the high school students who cut school used this path to go to the mall and hang out there for the day so the path was pretty worn from the constant traveling that it saw. We pulled up beside Macy's Department store and locked up our bikes in the bike rack and went inside. We walked through the department store and out into the main building. The Mall is three stories high with the restaurants on the third floor, the smaller stores are on the second and first floor and the Department stores are either on the first floor or on the first and second floor because they have two floors. We headed towards the second floor where Game Stop is at. We went in the store and looked around at the various video games and Cody bought a couple with his allowance. After we left Game Stop we headed up to the third floor and ate at the McDonalds Express and then headed back outside and unlocked our bikes. "I have to head home." One of the guys said. "Yeah I do as well," The other guy said. "Oh come on your guys," Said Cody as he straddled his bike. "Sorry Cody," The other two guys said and peddled off. "So what do you want to do now?" He asked me. I looked off at the parking lot and thought about what time it was and if I needed to be home early that night or not. I lived with my dad at the time and I usually had to be home before dark. My mother had died when I was about five so that left just me and my father living in the house. "I don't have to be home early or anything so do you want to just continue to hang out here?" I asked him. `Nah it's gotten kind of lame around here and I want to do something else." He replied. "Ok so where do you want to go?" I asked him. "We could go to my house and play the new video games that I bought today." He replied. Oh boy I thought to myself I just met him and he wants me to go with him to his house to play video games. "Sure lets go," I responded. We left the Mall parking lot with him leading and headed down the street towards the ritzy part of town. Wow I thought to myself he must live with very rich parents. It took us about twenty minutes to get to his house. Let me tell you he lives in a very nice house. Its two stories with a white paint job on it with blue storm shutters and a kind of off white trim around it. Very nice and elegant looking and judging by the Mercedes and the Hummer H2 sitting in the drive way my guess about his parents being rich was pretty much right on target. We walked in through the front door into a very spacious living room with two leather sofas in a L shape In front of a 52 inch HDTV with a Xbox 360 hooked up to it. We walked through the living room and went into the kitchen where there was a woman who looked to be in her thirties standing next to the stove cutting up onions for what looked like some kind of a stir fry. "Hey Mom," Cody said to the woman. "I want you to meet Mike he is a new friend of mine," He continued. Chris's mom turned and smiled at me and said, "Hi Mike, it's nice to meet you. You can call me Mrs. Weaver. You will be staying with us for dinner I hope?" "Yes Mrs. Weaver if you don't mind, I would love to," I responded "Come on let's go upstairs and play these video games," Cody said. "Nice to have met you Mike," Cody's mother yelled at us as we ran out of the kitchen and up stairs. We walked into Cody's room and I was blown away. There was what looked like a queen size bed up against one wall that was of course unmade, a computer desk with what looked like a Alien Ware computer sitting on it along with an amazing collection of DVDs and Video games. On the other wall there was a TV stand with a 32 inch HDTV with another Xbox 360 hooked up to it. I look at Cody kind of puzzled. "Why do you have two Xbox's?" I asked him. "The other one belongs to my older brother who is currently over seas right now." He replied. "Your brother is in the military? I asked him "Yeah he is in the Marines and he is currently over in Iraq. He is supposed to be home in the next month or so." he replied. "Let's play some video games" I said hoping to ease the tension that had entered the room during the short discussion about his brother. Cody turned the Xbox 360 on and inserted a disc into the slot and started the game up and handed me the other controller. "I take it you know how to play Halo?" He asked me "Never played it before," I responded. He looked at me kind of shocked that a kid my age had never played Halo. "What are you insane?" He asked me "Halo is the shit." "I don't have a video game console at my house" I replied. He just looked at me and rolled his eyes and focused back on the TV screen and the video game. We played for about two hours before his mother called up and told us to get washed up for dinner. We washed up and went downstairs and sat at the oak dinner table and waited on his father to come in from the backyard. "Hello Mike, I'm Mr. Weaver." He said as he sat down at the table. He took one look at the surprised look on my face and laughed and said, "Mrs. Weaver told me your name and that Cody brought you over for dinner so don't worry I don't bite or anything." I relaxed a little after that and enjoyed the dinner and the after dinner conversation and then politely excused myself to go to the bathroom. As I sat on the toilet using the bathroom I though to myself these people are really nice and have a very nice house. Much nicer than what my father and I have. I finished using the bathroom and flushed the toilet and washed my hands. Cody was sitting in the living room watching Survivor with his father and turned to look at me when I walked into the living room. "Well I appreciate the dinner and the video game playing Cody but I must really be getting home now." I said to him. Cody stood up and said, "Why don't you spend the night tonight? I have an air mattress that I use when we go camping you can sleep up in my room on that." A thousand excuses filled my mind but I found myself just saying ok and being led upstairs to get the air mattress out. "I really should call my dad and make sure its ok and see if he will drop some clothes off for me to wear tomorrow/" I said. "Here use mine," Cody said handing me a handset from the computer desk. I dialed my house number and my father picked up on the second ring. "Hello dad is it ok if I stay over at a friend from school's house tonight?" I asked him "Well considering that you don't have school tomorrow I guess its ok but you need to make sure that you come home before dark tomorrow." He said. "Can you drop off some clothes for me to wear for tonight and tomorrow?" I asked him. "Yeah I can do that. Just let me know where to meet you at." he replied "Ok just meet me in the Mall parking lot by Macy's" I replied I turned to Cody and said, "My father says its ok for me to spend the night because we don't have school tomorrow but I need to go and meet him to pick up clothes" "Ok I will go with you," he said. "No I would much rather do this by myself, "I responded "Ok whatever," he replied. I got on my bike and headed back the way Cody and I had come and pulled into the Mall parking lot just as my father was pulling up in his red pickup. "Here are your clothes and don't forget to be home before dark tomorrow," He said to me before pulling off. I watched his truck pull out of the parking lot and stop at the red traffic light at the intersection. I had just turned around to leave when I heard a screech of tires and turned around to see my father's pickup get t-boned by an 18 wheeler that ran the red light. I started to bike towards the wreck when the pickup exploded and caught fire. I couldn't believe what I had just witnessed. I kept telling myself that there was no way that was my father's pickup that had just blown up. I tried rationalizing it in my mind but I kept coming to the same conclusion. That was my fathers pickup that I had just watch explode into flame and that my father was dead. I watched as the emergency vehicles pulled up and put the fire out and I biked up to the accident. I was approached by a police officer who had a notepad in his hand. "Did you see what happened here son?' He asked me "Yes officer I did. That was my father in the pickup truck." I replied. He looked at me with sympathy in his eyes and said, "The explosion was so big that I doubt that your father felt any pain." The tears started streaming down my face as I thought back over my life up to that point. My mother was dead and now my father was dead. Was there anything else that could possibly happen that was worse than this? I over heard the officer talking to his sergeant and the words `group home' and `foster care' reached my ears. I turned and ran back to my bike and jumped on it with my backpack full of clothes on my back and rode as hard as I could away from the scene with officers yelling at me to stop. I finally made it back to Cody's house and dropped my bike in the driveway and ran in the house. I went in the bathroom and sat down on the closed toilet lid and cried and cried. Cody overhearing the noise from me coming in knocked on the bathroom door. "Go away," I said to him. "What's wrong Mike?' He asked through the door. "I don't want to talk about it right now." I replied and just sat there. It must have been about an hour later when I finally walked out of the bathroom and went into the living room. Mr. and Mrs. Weaver were sitting there watching TV but from the concerned expressions on their face I could tell that they weren't paying attention to the TV. "What happened while you were gone?' Mrs. Weaver asked me. "I don't want to talk about it right now. I just want to go to bed." I replied "Ok but tomorrow once you get up would you please talk to me about what happened tonight?' She asked. I nodded my head and walked up the stairs to Cody's room and opened the door. He was lying on his bed completely nude with his penis in his hand with his eyes closed. He was doing something that I had never seen before. He opened his eyes and saw me in the doorway and just grinned at me. "You want to join me?" he said "What are you doing?" I asked him curiously "I am doing something that my brother showed me before he left for deployment. He called it jerking off. It feels really good." He said. "Sure I guess I could join you." I said shyly. He moved over on the bed so I could stretch out beside him. He then reached over and slowly started to unbutton my pants. "What are you doing?" I asked him "Well you can't do it with your pants on you know." he replied. So I lay there while he unbuttoned my pants and took them off. He then grasped the waistband of my underwear and slowly pulled them down revealing my soft 3inch uncut penis. He picked it up in his soft hand and started to slowly stroke it until I got hard. He reached over to the side of his bed and got a bottle of some clear liquid looking stuff. "What's that?" I asked "It's called lube and it feels great when you jerk off with it." He replied. He put some in his hand and rubbed it on my hard penis and started to stroke me very slowly and gently. It was a feeling that is beyond comparison. I was in heaven. Feeling him run his hand up and down on my hard shaft felt so good. I started to feel this strange sensation at the tip of it and I moaned. He took that as a sign that I was enjoying myself and sped up. The sensation built up and it felt like I was going to pee. I tried to hold back as long as I could but the feeling overcame me and I started to shoot clear stuff out of the head. Cody kept on stroking me slowly and then finally took his hand away and smiled at me. "What was that?' I asked him "That is what you call a climax or as some people call it cumming." he replied. "I am kind of jealous of you though." He continued "Why?" I asked him "Because I can't get anything to come out of mine when I do it" He replied. I just laid there recovering from the mind blowing experience. Cody looked over at me and asked, "Are you ok?" I looked at him kind of puzzled and said, "Yeah, why?" "Because I heard you crying downstairs in the bathroom when you got back." He replied. I rolled over to hide the tears that were welling up in my eyes and said to him. "I don't want to talk about it right now." "Ok fine," He replied and left it at that. We heard footsteps coming up the stairs and quickly put our underwear back on just before Mr. Weaver opened the door. "There was a bad accident at the intersection at the Mall and I have to go to the hospital so I won't be back until the morning." "Don't give your mother a hard time," He said to Cody. Cody just grinned at him and his father closed the door. We both went and took showers, got dressed and ready for bed. After he got done with his shower Cody went into this closet and pulled out the air mattress and filled it up with air and put it down on the floor. "Would you rather sleep with me tonight in the bed?" He asked me "Sure I don't care I am just tired right now" I replied. He let the air out of the mattress and pulled back the sheets on his bed and motioned for me to join him. "I hope you don't mind but I like to sleep naked." he said as he pulled off his pajama bottoms and underwear. I did the same thing and laid down on the bed and rolled over and was almost asleep when Cody asked me "Mike do you like me?" I was kind of confused. "Yes Cody I do like you. I have never had a real friend before'" "No I mean do you like me as in like a man likes a woman?" He said. "Cody it's been a long day for me and I want to get some sleep." I replied. He rolled me over and looked into my eyes and said, "I need to know Mike. I won't be able to sleep if I don't know." "Yes Cody I do like you like a man likes a woman. I don't know why but a part deep inside of me does." I replied. Then he did something that I wasn't expecting. He leaned down and kissed me on my lips. I was shocked but I responded by kissing him back and once we broke from the kiss I looked at him. "I have a lot of things that I keep to myself. I don't know why I but I feel that I can tell them to you." I told him. He looked at me and said, "Ok you can tell me anything and it will stay between us no one will ever know anything you tell me." I then sat there and told him about how the accident that his father was going to the hospital about was the same accident that I had witnessed. "Ok but I don't see how that has anything to do with you" he said. "My father was the guy who was killed in that accident" I told him. He looked at me with sadness in his eyes and pulled me to him and hugged me as I finally let the tears go that had been threatening to flood me while I told him about the accident. He just sat there and held me as I cried and cried. He let go of me and wiped the tears away from my eyes and said, "I will be right back I need to go and talk to my mother about you staying here for awhile." He got up and got dressed and went downstairs to the living room where his mother was. I don't know what was said between him and mother but he came back upstairs grinning like Christmas had come early. "My mother says you can stay here with us for a couple of days while we figure out what to do." He stripped back down and got into the bed and pulled me close to him in a half hug then whispered, "I won't let anything bad happen to you, I promise." We continued to cuddle and finally both of us fell asleep in each others arms. The following morning we were awakened by a knock at the door. It was Cody's mother waking us up. "Are you boys decent in there?" She asked. I woke up with a start when I heard her voice and woke Cody up. "We are completely naked under here what are we going to say?' I asked him "Don't worry man she knows that I like other boys" He replied. He got up and opened the door and his mother walked in. "Good morning boys." She said as she picked up our dirty clothes. "Don't worry Mike I already know that Cody likes other boys and does things with them. You aren't the first boy I have seen in his bed naked." She said smiling. She left the room and Cody closed the door and turned and smiled at me and looked down at his penis. It was sticking straight out with a morning hard on. "Want to have some fun before we go downstairs?" He asked. "Sure lets do what we did last night again that felt good." I replied. "I had something else in mind" he said grinning. He walked up to me and gently pushed me back down on the bed and started kissing me and stroking my penis until it was hard. He then started to kiss down my chest and down to my groin area and then finally he slid his warm mouth over my head and shaft. I moaned very loudly as he started to work his mouth up and down my erect penis. I was beyond words. I couldn't speak I was breathing so heavily. He brought me almost to the point of orgasm and stopped letting my penis go limp in his mouth. He took his mouth off of me and asked "Do you want to do something that feels even better than what I just did?" I nodded my head yes still speechless and he rolled me over onto my stomach. I felt his hands on my butt cheeks as he massaged and caressed them. Suddenly he spread them apart and put his mouth down there and started kissing all over my anal region. Then he took his tongue and slowly started to lick up and down my crack. I moaned even louder than I had when his mouth was on my penis. He continued to do this for about ten or fifteen minutes. He continued to caress my cheeks with one hand and his tongue found my hole. I started to poke and prod my hole with his tongue. I moved my ass up to meet his mouth and he continued to eat his fill of my ass which he now calls his breakfast bar by the way. Finally he stopped and reached down for the bottle of lube. He put some on his finger and then put some on my hole. He put his finger at my entrance and added a little pressure and his finger slip in. I gasped as he began to finger my tight virgin hole. I was in ecstasy. He continued to finger my hole while I moved my ass back and forth with his finger moving in and out. He finished with that and I saw him reach down and start stroking his erect penis. He put some more lube in his hand and put it on his penis and then he spread my butt cheeks again and I felt the head of his penis at my hole. Before he entered into me he said, "This might hurt a little bit. If it does let me know and I will stop." I nodded my head in understanding. "Go ahead and put it in me." He moved his hips forward and I felt his penis slide inside of my tight hole. It hurt a little bit but not as much as I thought. He stopped to allow me to relax a little and get used to having him inside of me. Once I was used to it he slid it in even more until he was all the way in. He started to move back and forth slowly spreading my virgin flower more and more with his hard penis. This continued until I heard him start breathing harder and faster than he had been but he continued his slow determined pace inside of me and finally I heard him let out a gasp and then a moan and felt his penis twitch inside of me. When he was done with his climax he pulled out and asked me "Did you enjoy that?" `Yes very much so," I replied. "OK, let's go down and have some breakfast" He said as he was putting on his clothes. I lay there for a little while once he had gone downstairs before I got dressed and headed down stairs for some breakfast. I could smell bacon and eggs as I walked down the stairs. I walked into the kitchen and saw Cody wolfing down bacon, eggs and toast along with a tall glass of orange juice. I sat down at the table with him and Mrs. Weaver brought me a plate piled with bacon and eggs. "Go ahead and eat and after you get done we will sit down and talk about your situation and what we are going to do." She said. I wolfed down the breakfast like I hadn't eaten in ages and then went and sat down in the living room and waited for Mrs. Weaver and Cody to finish up with the dishes and come into the living room. Mr. Weaver came in through the front door looking extremely tired but in a good mood. He walked right into the Kitchen and I heard him tell Mrs. Weaver that the truck driver was alive but in critical condition and in ICU. Hearing him talk about this brought back everything from the night before and all of a sudden I felt as though I was going to be nauseous. Mrs. Weaver walked into the living room and sat on the sofa next to me and pulled me into her arms and hugged me. The tears and pain that I thought had vanished came flooding back and I broke down and cried in her arms like a three year old. After I had cried all that I could she let me go. "The police are looking for you as well as Social Services." "I am not going to a group home or foster home." I told her. "I understand that sweetheart but they are looking for you and want to make sure that you are alright." She said. "Is there anyway that I can just stay here with you and Mr. Weaver and Cody?" I asked her. "Well we will see about that but first you need to go down to the police station and let them know that you are alright and talk to the social worker" she replied. She got up and told Mr. Weaver that she was leaving for a little while and that she would be back shortly. Cody begged to come with us but she told him to stay at the house until she got back. We got into the car and headed to the police station. When we pulled into the parking lot she turned to me. "I will be with you through all of this. I know this is hard but it's the right thing to do". We walked into the police station and went up to the front desk. The lady at the front desk was on the phone and help up one finger to signal that she would be right with us. I wandered over to the sitting area and sat down and waited until Mrs. Weaver came over and sat next to me. We sat in silence until a uniformed police officer came to the door and said "Mrs. Weaver the social worker is ready to see Cody now." "I don't want to go in there" I told her. "I know sweetheart but you have to." She replied and smiled at me. I got up and followed the officer through the door and down a hallway to a room where there was a lady waiting, "Thank you officer." She motioned for me to sit down. "I know that you are going through a hard time having just lost your father last night but we need to figure out what to do as far as a place for you to go is concerned." "I don't want to go to a group home or a foster family," I told her. "And I don't want to put you in one." She replied "However you are now a ward of the state and we have to know where you are and that you are being taken care of." She continued. "Do you have any family that you can live with?" She asked. "No my father was my last living relative. All of his family is either dead or in prison and my mother was an only child and her mother and father are dead." I replied. "Well in that case then I am afraid that I don't have a choice but to place you in state custody and into a foster home until we can find a new family for you." She said. "What about the Weavers?" I asked her. "Who are the Weavers?" She asked me. "A family that was nice enough to let me stay at their house last night after my father was killed. They have a son who is my age and he and I get along just fine. I would like to stay with them" I told her. "Well we can see what we can do but unfortunately you will have to go to a group home for the time being." She told me. At that point I broke down into tears. I had lost my father and now the only people who honestly and truly cared about me and my sweet Cody. "Can I at least go and say goodbye to Mrs. Weaver before I go?" I asked "Sure honey you can I will go and let her know that you want to talk to her" she said. While she went and got her I sat there in shock and disbelief. Not only had I lost my father but I was about to lose the only friend that I had ever had in my life. Mrs. Weaver came in and hugged me and said "I will talk to Cody and Mr. Weaver and see what we can do for you. Ok?" She left the room and two officers came into the room. They had me stand up and one of them told me that for transportation purposes they would have to handcuff me. I was speechless as they snapped a pair of handcuffs on me and walked me out of the police station to a police cruiser. Here I was a scared ten year old boy in cuffs being put in the back of a police cruiser. We pulled up in front of the group home and one of the officers went up and knocked on the door. Someone came to the door and the officer handed her some paper work. He then came and opened my door and helped me out of the cruiser. "Did you have to handcuff him like some common criminal?" The lady asked him. "Station policy and procedure." He responded. "Whatever just take them off and bring him inside." She said. "I can't until I have transferred custody to you" He replied. So I was marched into the group home in handcuffs with only the clothes on my back. I was lead into an office and the cuffs were taken off of me. The lady sat down in front of me and said "hello Mike I am Mrs. Smith and I will be your case manager while you are here. Now is there anything that you want to tell me before I continue on with your intake such as any form of abuse that you may have suffered or any medical problems?" I shook my head no. She wrote some things down on the paper work and then motioned for me to follow her. I followed her down a hallway to what appeared to be a bathroom but it had open showers like a locker room. "You will strip down in front of me and take a shower and change into the sweat suit that is sitting there on that bench." she told me. I pulled off my clothes in front of her and got into the shower and turned the water on and showered. Then I dried off with a towel that she handed me and changed into the sweat suit that was on the bench. She then motioned me to follow her down another hallway. We went into another room that was set up like a doctor's office. "You will wait here for the doctor and then do exactly what he tells you to do. Understand?" she said. I sat on the table and waited for the doctor to come in. A man entered the room and closed the door and introduced himself as Dr. Halloran. "What I am going to do today is a physical to make sure that you are in perfect health. We can't have you getting the other children here sick." He had me remove all of my clothes except for my underwear and did the normal things like take my height, weight, blood pressure, and everything else. He then had me lad down on the table and checked me for any stomach issues. Then he put on a glove and told me "I need you to remove your underwear and bend over for me so that I can check for any signs of sexual abuse." He put a dollop of lube on his finger and slowly inserted it into me and felt around and then asked me. "Has anyone ever put anything inside your butt before?" "No sir" I said lying through my teeth. He then checked me for a hernia and declared me in perfect health and told me to get dressed. I got dressed and Mrs. Smith came back into the room but this time she was with another boy who looked to be around my age maybe a year younger. "This is Brian and he will be your roommate for the time that you are here." She then motioned for both of us to follow her down yet another hallway. At the end of the hallway we came to a room with a closed door. She opened the door and inside were two beds and two closets along with a desk. "This is going to be your room while you are here. You are expected to keep it neat and tidy. You will wake up every morning at six am and get washed up and eat before school. I take it you go to Blueridge Elementary?" she asked. I nodded my head. "Good then we don't have to worry about transferring you to a new school." She replied as she walked out of the room. Brian looked me up and down and asked. "Why are you in here?" "Father was killed in a car wreck last night and I have no other living relatives.' I told him. "Oh man that really sucks I am sorry to hear about that." He replied. "Its ok I am not going to be here long." I said looking around the room. Ha not going to be here long. What was I thinking? The days started to pass and then the weeks started to pass and before I knew it I had been at the group home for almost three months. Oh I saw Cody every day at school but it wasn't the same. Then a miracle happened that would not only get me out of state custody but also a new family. I had come in from school one day and submitted to the search that they did at the group home to make sure that I wasn't carrying any contraband into the group home. I went to my room and set my book bag down and pulled out the Ipod that Cody had given me earlier that day at school. He had put some music on there that he thought I would like. I put the ear phones on and turned the Ipod on. The music that he put on there I did like and I was very appreciative to him for doing this for me. Just when I was getting ready to sit down to do my homework, I got called to Mrs. Smith's office. I knocked on the door as I was supposed to and walked in the room. Sitting there were three people that I never thought I would see here at the group home, Cody and his mother and father. Cody saw me and jumped out of his chair and ran up to me and gave me a big bear hug. "I have great news for you Mike" He told me. He asked Mrs. Smith if it was ok for him to come to my room with me. She nodded and he followed me to my room. Once we were in there I told Brian to beat it I had to talk in private with Cody. He looked hurt but left anyway and closed the door behind him. "So what is this news that has you about to bounce off the wall?' I asked him. "My mother and father have gone through all of the paperwork and everything and they want to adopt you. They want to have you as a son." He replied "Are you serious?" I asked "As a heart attack" He replied. "So that means that you and I are going to be brothers?" I asked him. "Yes but we are more than brothers. Mom and dad know that I like you a lot and that I want to be with you for the rest of my life" he said. "Whoa lets take it one day at a time" I said. "Ok but lets get you packed up they are signing the paperwork right now for you to go home with us tonight." he said. I don't think that I have ever packed stuff up so quickly. I walked out of my room with Cody right behind me and we went to Mrs. Smith's office and there were Mr. and Mrs. Weaver waiting with big smiles on their faces. "You ready to go home son?" Mr. Weaver asked me. "You bet I am" I replied. I walked out of the group home three months later but this time it was with my new family and who I now consider to be my boyfriend Cody. The things that went on that night when we got back to the house were well let's just say wonderful and very, very fulfilling. Now you know my story, from having nothing with my father to having a family who loves and cares for me and a brother who is not only my best friend but also my boyfriend.
