Date: Sun, 09 Jan 2005 19:48:33 -0500 From: Dwedno Smith Subject: The Tunnel chapter 38. Seems like I just did this the other day... another week and another chapter. Its a lot of fun but it sure is time consuming... writing and spell checking so much. This is a long one people I had a lot to say and might I add its a little rocky too. Can't wait to see how the comments flow with a little twist of subject matter. As I say I have to keep it intersting or people will not come back. From the e-mail side, last week I have to thank several people for offering ideas once again. I got one really good one and hopefully time allowing I will work the 'pool' back into the storyline once again. As for everything else I will wait for comments from all you fine people and Chapter 39 is about nine pages done so far. I have had some extra free time between the holiday week and wanting to get past this chapter you are about to read. You could say I wanted to get my thoughts on paper before I got too clouded from other things like (YUCK!) work and house choirs. I have noticed a little bit of younger aged people reading and e mailing lately and although I don't personally have a problem with it but I have to once again remind everyone that these stories are for 18 years old and above. I cannot be responsible for corrupting the younger minds out there. Like they found this website with my help or something. But just stating it makes me feel a little better knowing I tried to let everyone know that this isn't a place for the younger teen adults to access. Now that I have covered my ass... Until we meet again. Enjoy the week and take care. Dwedno Chapter 38. Time to adjust to new kids! I woke up and the lights were still on and it was dark outside. Shawn had rolled off of me and was sleeping on his side of my bed. I got up and went to the door opened it and listened in the hall and it was quiet. I didn't even see Luke or Benjy to bed some host I am thinking with my cock instead of my other head. I threw on shorts and walked the long hallway. Every room was quiet until I came to Luke's room. I heard voices inside. I knocked on the door. He opened it. "Hi Luke, I whispered, Can I come in?" "Sure. He said. I was just talking to Patches. He is awake now and seems to be feeling better." I looked at the dog that was wagging his tail and seemed to be much better. Luke was smiling. "He sure looks better Luker." "Yeah I know. Guess you were right Tommy he just needed rest." I guess too, what the hell did I know? "Yeah so I guess later we can go check out your neighborhood friend's house?" "Yeah much later I am gonna go back to bed its 2am." "Oh yeah right. Sure I meant later." 2 Am. I didn't even look. Geeze. "That sounds good I see you settled in fine and have everything put away." "Yeah I finished a little while ago that's why I am still up. I talked to a lot of the guys all night and finally got back in here around midnight. Where were you? I didn't see you after the pool the rest of the night. I saw that Shawn kid as I left but that was it then." "Yeah I got busy and tied up." Yeah right I was letting Shawn suck me off but you don't need to know that cutie!!! "Oh well I talked to Danny and Kyle came in for a bit and took us on that tour of the house and I even talked to Jon." "Jon huh? Was he upset at all?" "Not that I could tell." "Great, I mean that's good." "Yeah he said he didn't see you either but he knew you were busy just didn't know what you were doing." Sure he didn't. I bet he knows everything and is probably pissed as hell at me. "I talked to Benjy before I went to bed too and he seems real happy living here so far. I never heard him talk so much about something like he did about this place. He said he loved the pool when Kyle took us around for that tour and he loved everything else about this place too." "Glad to hear it. How long have you know Benjy? "About five years since he moved into that house." "I see." "Yeah we met in school. Just by accident he was in his last year of elementary school when we met and he always treated me nice so we hung out a lot." "So you know him pretty well then?" "I guess you can say that. I never went over his house a lot but occasionally he would invite me over." "Thanks for telling me a little about Ben and you maybe tomorrow I can find out some about you." "Sure that sounds good." "I'm gonna let you go to bed. See you in the morning for breakfast and then if we have time you can show me where your friend lived and tell me more about yourself. Oh what was your friends name Luke?" "It was Sal, actually Salvatore but we called him Sally sometimes. He didn't like it because it was a girls name but he took it from us. He was kewl!" "Nice! Sorry you lost him." "Yeah me too, his family was rich and he always got me presents when I came over. He was kewl! Really kewl!" "Well Luke welcome to our house and I hope I didn't scare you with the pool thing earlier I am sorry I touched your butt so much and I won't do that again since it didn't seem to go right." "Its okay Tommy, like I said it wasn't that bad and I will have to get used to boys loving or touching each other here if I want to stay and I really want to stay. These guys are awesome here. I love watching and playing PS II and Nintendo. We did that a lot tonight too which is partly why I didn't get to put stuff away till before. I was having way too much fun! More then I ever had with my few friends back home. I beat Joey and Kyle kicked my butt in another game but it was a lot of fun!" "Glad to hear that. And I really am happy Patches is doing better. See ya in the morning. Night." "Good night Tommy." I shut his door, sounds like he had a blast tonight well I know I did. Damn its 2am? I'm not even tired anymore! I heard his door open again. "Tommy?" I stopped and turned back to him. "Yeah Luker?" "I really am sorry about the pool. It bothers me that I was so rude to you even when you were trying to teach me to swim. I thought you were taking advantage of me by rubbing my ass but the more I think about it the more I realize you were keeping me from going under water and I shouldn't have said what I did. I know you warned me about what happens here and I could have been a little more open minded about it. After all you and Kyle did save my life and I wouldn't even be here if you didn't come to my town and find me in the first place. For all I know Jimmy might have hurt me really bad one day and no one would have ever known I was even alive. So I guess I owe you big time and if I have to put up with a little ass grabbing at times it's still better then being alone or dead!" "You don't have to put up with anything Luke. I didn't ask you here to abuse you or touch you wrong. I am sorry you didn't do anything wrong I did." He looked at me. "Ya know what I don't care. I'm not saying I am gonna do gay stuff but honestly you guys are all there is now and if tonight was anything like it is here every night this place is awesome and a little ass touch wont hurt me at all!" "Well that is really nice of you to be so open minded all of a sudden." "Thanks Tommy thanks to you and to Kyle for giving me my life back and a place to live with people!" He ran to me and gave me a hug. He squeezed me real tight. "Thanks again for everything. I promise I will be more open to whatever happens in this place. I am still a little scared but not as much as before. I was so worried something would go wrong or that you guys were bad and I wasn't totally safe. I know I am now and I just wanted to tell you thanks again." He broke his hug and looked at me. A tear ran down his cheek. I put my hand on his shoulder and gave it a squeeze and he turned and went back to his room. I felt foolish now but happy he was okay. I turned to go back to bed and at the end of the hall taking all this in was Jon. He scared me and I jumped when I saw him. I walked down to his room. "You ass!" He laughed. "Nice hug you got from Luke. Did you screw him already?" "Geeze Jon! No I didn't screw him and I thought you were gonna be more open minded?" "I was kidding! I mean I was a little upset you disappeared earlier but I am okay now. Where were you? With Shawn I guess?" "Yeah I went swimming and got tired. We took a shower together and fell asleep after that. Now you know everything, are you mad?" "Nope, long as you told me that and its true I promised you I wouldn't get mad if you and Shawn had time together. I just wish I knew earlier. So what's with you and Luke?" "We had pool time together before Shawn found me and I was teaching him how to swim." "He doesn't know how to swim?" "Nope not a lick!" "Wow, so?" I went on and told him about the ass touch and how he got mad and then what happened with his dog and everything at his house and finally what just happened in his room and down the hall as he was watching us. I told him almost everything minus the hardcore ass rubbing of course. Not that I did anything THAT bad to Luke. "Wow Tommy sounds like you and Ky had a fucking brutal day." "Not all that bad just long and well it was really hard on Ky killing that guy." "I bet I know you were pretty down after you did that last time. I can feel for your brother. But you did tell him he saved a life right?" "Hell yeah, we went through all that." "Good I don't like it when Ky is upset his is too good a person for that." I looked at him. "You really sound sincere Jonathan." "From my heart I swear!" I laughed at him. "You are full of baloney!" "Oh Thomas that hurts." He grabbed his chest and fell over on his bed. I went over to him and grabbed his crotch making him jump five feet off the bed. "Hey! Careful there man the jewels are very sensitive tonight." "Ohhhh sorry want me to rub them?" "No, suck them!" "Sure! Drop them shorts and I will." He immediately got up and stripped down to nothing from the chest down and I grabbed his cock and started stroking it while he fell back on his bed and began to moan. When he got hard I started sucking him off and before long I tasted precum. "Damn Jon you can't last long at all can you." "Shut up and suck its not me you are just that good!" "Yeah right! I laughed. Bull shit I thought to myself you are just a wuss when it come to holding back your orgasm or shooting your load! I grabbed hold of his balls and started massaging them occasionally going down to his hole and running my finger around and in it a little. I was tasting more and more of him now and from the past I knew he was ripe and wouldn't last much longer at all. I started bobbing up and down on him faster and within a minute he was flooding my mouth with his juices. I pulled the finger I had buried in his ass all the way out as he moaned in ecstasy. Finally he stopped shooting and I backed off him and watched as his contorted face came back to normal. Eventually he sat up smiling and as usual congratulated me on another fine blow job. "Glad you liked it. That was for being so kewl with me and Shawn tonight. You get a nice present for being totally grown up about all this." I moved in without his answer and began kissing his lips. It quickly went to tongue kissing and Shawn popped into my head totally ruining the mood. I didn't stop although the thought came across my mind. However Jon did. "What's wrong?" "Nothing you just seemed to kiss me and them I got a cold feeling like something was wrong with you." "No Jon I am fine." Damn I didn't know my reaction was that strong. We locked lips again and this time it was better. He grabbed for my cock but I was still spent from Shawn and the shower earlier. I got hard right away though but I wasn't about to cum, not now. He stroked me some but stopped after a little bit. Apparently the kissing was enough to distract him away for a change. We kissed for a while and finally I grew tired of it and I think he did too. We broke our lip lock and I looked at him as he lay in front of me on his bed, his head on his pillow. I was in a push up position over him, on top of him. I did the downward stroke and our lips met again for a second and then I rolled off him. "You really are one cute son of a bitch Jonathan! I know why I love you so!" He smiled. I stole another kiss and grabbed his cock which was still out in the open. He was still totally naked from the chest down. I stroked him a few more times causing him to start to get hard again and then I let go. "No more tonight sexy. I am going back to bed." "Awww come on, Shawn is in your bed why don't you stay here with me for the night?" "Okay I will just give me a second I'll be right back." I went back into my room and tucked Shawn in and turned off the light and went back in by Jon. He was already in bed now and I got in with him and started kissing his neck. I was nibbling on it as he got all goose pimply on me. Finally I started sucking on his neck and gave him a big hickey. I caught hell for doing it at first and then he laughed. "Now I am gonna show it off to everyone and tell them what you did. Ha-ha! Shawn is gonna be jealous!" He laughed and I smacked his belly through the blankets. "Go to bed smart ass before I give your balls a hickey!" "Ouch, you wouldn't!" I started tickling his sweet spot and he begged me to stop as he fell out of his bed squirming to get away from me. "You say anything else Jonathan and I will come down there and tickle you until you piss yourself!" "Okay, okay Tommy no more please! He said as he was trying to catch his breath. I give you win you know I can't take it when you tickle me!" I helped him off the floor and as he got into bed I ran my finger up between his ass crack and he just stopped dead and let me play. He loved the feeling and I did it several times for him. Finally I stopped and he got him bed with his cock rock hard once again. "Boy you are horny tonight Jon aren't you." "You are doing it! Not me you keep playing with my sensitive spots." "I have a sensitive spot for you right here!" I went down under the covers and started sucking his cock again. "Oh Tommy that feels so good. Keep it up and I am gonna cum again!" That is what I did! He pulled the covers back as I sucked him hard and with as much suction as I could. He was already wet and moaning as he squirmed while I played roughly with his balls. "Tommy I am gonna cum again! OHHHHHH!" He let out the moan and blew another load, he didn't quite fill my mouth but it was tasty just the same! I stopped to let him enjoy his second orgasm tonight. He was good for two for some reason anytime but I couldn't go twice unless it was super good! I got up and back next to him and he rolled over and looked at me. "Now I know why l love you so much Tommy. You really are good! Not just sex I mean you are good at heart! I love you so much Tommy." He leaned in and kissed me and I grabbed him as we held each other for a while occasionally kissing and finally from all the work we both dozed off to sleep smiling and happy with my lover next to me. I had both boys tonight and couldn't be happier!! This time I slept through the night but woke up to noise at 7am. So the clock said on Jon's wall. I got up to see what the hell was so loud and stumbled to find my shorts and my way to his door. It was light out but after falling asleep about three hours earlier I wasn't that awake yet. Jon could sleep through a bomb going off so he didn't even move as I got out of bed. I checked my room and Shawn was still in bed. I could probably get back in with him now and unless he woke he wouldn't have even known I was gone. I headed downstairs and to the door. Whatever it was, was coming from outside. I almost didn't want to know. I opened the door and down the driveway on the street in front of the house were Benjy and Luke racing their noisy four wheel cars up and down the street. Making enough noise to wake anyone. I walked down the driveway and up to Ben and grabbed his remote out of his hand and then over to Luke who was five feet away but not watching what I was up to, matter of fact until I grabbed the remote from him he didn't even know I was there. So I grabbed both and shut them off leaving the neighborhood in silence again. "Do you two know what fucking time it is?" "No we didn't look we agreed last night to meet this morning when we woke up and race cars out here." I was a little mad. ok I was steaming fucking mad! Not only did they scare the shit out of me they woke me on three hours sleep. I doubt Luke got much more then I did even if he went right to bed he could only be on four or five hours tops since I found him with his dog at 2am. "Okay rule number one here boys, no noise before I am awake or I'll even give you a break and say 9am. If this happens again you can both find a place to live back in Pottersville!" "Geeze you didn't have to be so grumpy!" said Benjy. "Ben what time were you in bed?" "I don't know 10 or 11pm I guess." "Okay good. I was up at 2am did I bang on your door and wake you?" "No of course you didn't." "Great well consider this you banging on my door and waking me! I worry about every person in the house and with no protection other then Kyle and myself and our guns any extra noise scares the shit out of me! Meaning your fun cars out here not only woke me you are lucky I didn't come out aiming a gun at you!" "Sorry Tommy it won't happen again!" "GOOD! Now take your remotes and cars and if you really want to play go about a mile up the road and drive till you kill the batteries or wait until after 9am PLEASE! But if you do go up the road which I don't recommend I haven't been there yet and I don't know if there are any half baked people out there so make sure you don't get yourselves killed by someone who is still half alive from the comet!" They both had looks of horror on their faces after I said that. Probably didn't even think about that being a possibility. "Now you understand why I worry so much. I have had to kill three people just because they attacked us and boys I don't know this neighborhood yet and anything is possible so if you go outside well lets just say don't go out without some protection and since neither of you have guns. I would recommend not going out unless we are awake and close by at least until we learn this neighborhood. You are lucky I forgot to set the alarm last night or you would have woke the entire house with that thing blaring off when you left. That would have been my fault of course for forgetting to tell you both about it but still it wouldn't have made you many friends if everyone woke to that. I know for sure if Kyle hears that noise he comes out of his room with his gun drawn and I wouldn't want that marksman to point his gun at me. Ben ask Luke how good a shot he is! Okay enough bull shit now you can stay out here or come back in but I am going back to bed for a little bit only because I finally finished blowing Jon at 4am this morning and I am still tired!" I turned and headed back into the house and after some snickering at what I said about Jon they both followed me. I went upstairs and they shut and locked the door behind themselves. I heard it lock. I went back into bed and Jon rolled over and started laughing. "What's so funny?" "I heard every freaking word you said to them and I thought it was priceless." "Good! Now you want a beating or can we rest a little longer?" "Oh sorry sir! He said sarcastically. I'll be quiet now before you read me the riot act next!" "Jon if I didn't love you I would beat you about your body or tickle you to death right now so just be quiet before I do one of those to you." He shut up and cuddled by me. I put my arm around him and kissed his head before I closed my eyes and tried to get back to sleep. He felt good next to me and smelled of shampoo and cum. What a mix. I just dozed off with him in my arms so to speak and I was awoken again shortly after that with a door slamming down the hall. I sat up and Jon just giggled. "Now what the fuck is going on?" I got back up and threw my shorts on again and stomped down the hall. This time it wasn't either of our new kids it was Danny and Christian going at it in their room. Apparently Christian was giving Danny a hard time again. I opened their bedroom door after hearing their arguments inside. I tried to hold my tongue because Chris is still young. "What the hell is going on him here? I heard you two at the other end of the hall!" They both froze in their steps Christian holding a pillow and Danny standing there trying to gain control of the messy situation his brother had caused. The room looked like a tornado hit it. Probably one called Christian! "Hi Tommy, sorry we bothered you. Chris is being a little tough this morning. I wanted to give him a bath but he doesn't want to go now he wants to play a game." I gave Danny a dirty look for losing control of his brother again and then I looked at Christian. "Danny do I have your permission?" "Sure go right ahead, do what you have to." I pointed my finger at Christian and waved for him to come to me. He knew he was in trouble and immediately dropped the pillow and ran to Danny and started to cry. Danny didn't want to have anything to do with him and pushed him away causing his crying to elevate to screeching which just rang thru my head like nails on a chalkboard! I went over to Christian grabbed him softly but firmly by his arm and turned him towards me. "SHUT UP! I screamed at him. He went quiet faster then the two numb nuts outside did before. Christian, I don't know what your problem with your brother is but if you do not listen to him I am going to take down your pants and spank your naked bottom in front of everyone in this house and they will laugh at you after that. Do you understand me?" He shook his head yes while Danny did everything he possibly could not to laugh behind his brother. "Now mister I want you to go march your butt into that bathroom right this second and let your brother wash you or else I will fan your tale and embarrass you in front of everyone in this house!" He immediately began to cry but started walking out of their room and towards the bathroom. Danny got up smiling wide as could be just short of laughing out loud and came over and gave me a hug. "Thank you, thank you soooo much. Why didn't I think of that???" "Don't know Dan but it sure worked didn't it?" We both smiled and snickered as he went after his brother and I headed down the hall back to Jon's room. I entered his room and once again he was laughing. "Heard it all again I guess?" "Sure with everyone quiet how could I miss it? They are only two doors away. You did really good though Tom. He shut right up." I got back in bed once again and lay next to my lover and closed my eyes. He got comfy once more up next to me and I was just about back asleep when the fucking house alarm went off and I nearly jumped out of my skin! "WHAT THE FUCK NOW? I know it wasn't turned on so why is it going off?" I jumped out of bed and threw my shorts on again and this time Kyle beat me to the front door and panel with his gun drawn. Both Benjy and Luke were checking it out after I mentioned it to them before and apparently pushed a button to see if they could figure it out. I ran downstairs and learned this from Kyle and told Kyle to put his gun down and silenced the alarm. Everyone was at the top of the steps now even a wet Danny who apparently still was giving his brother a bath. "What the fuck are you two dumb asses doing with the alarm panel? Didn't I just tell both of you that I was trying to sleep and that would wake up the entire fucking house if it went off??" The both stood there with their heads bowed and said nothing. "Kyle if either of these two disturbs me or this house again I want you to shoot them!" "Shoot them?" "Right in the balls!" I barked! I turned and headed back upstairs as they began to bawl about what I said and argue with Kyle. I smiled at everyone that was at the top of the steps watching the show and knowing damn well I was no where near serious but those two didn't and they all began to laugh as I walked past them and back into Jon's room. For the next few minutes all I heard was Kyle calming them down by telling them I wasn't serious. Then finally the house grew quiet again. I looked at the alarm next to Jon's bed and it said 8:30. Now I get thirty fucking minutes to relax before I have to eat my own words if anyone does make noise! I looked at Jon and all he did was shrug his shoulders as I lay down once more in his bed after I threw off my shorts. I wasn't even tired anymore I was too upset to be but still it was just a matter of principal now! Jon started laughing at the comedy of errors that happened so far this morning and after a few seconds he had me going too. We were both laughing so loud that we totally lost it and that brought everyone to his room to see what was now so funny. I had tears rolling down my cheeks and I just gave up on trying getting back to bed. Jon chased everyone out of his room and shut the door as I got up and got dressed. "I am going to my room and get dressed. See you at breakfast. I am sure they all think I am nuts now too!" "Yeah what are you making for everyone arsenic pancakes?" "Don't tempt me!" I growled as I left his room. Shawn was in my bed back under the covers as I walked in and slammed the door behind me. "Bad morning huh?" "Yeah cutie, bad morning. Good night, bad morning!!" I went over and kissed him on his head and stripped off my shorts and put on clean underwear and then shorts and a shirt. He came up behind me as I was putting my socks on and hugged me and gave me a kiss. It made me feel a little better. I laid back and pulled him to me and began to tickle and love him some. "It's a good thing I have you or I would lose my mind!" I grabbed him and pulled him to me and kissed his sweet lips for a second and then rolled him off me. "We'll finish that some other time or I won't ever leave this room." He giggled as I got up and tickled him just a little more so I could hear his cute laughter ring out loud in the room. It sounded awesome to hear him laugh it was one of the cutest things in the world!! "Hey! Why do you have to leave? Who said you had to go?" I stopped and looked at him. "No one really, why? "Why? Come back here by me. I want you more then them." "But I was going to make breakfast." "After all that now you are going to feed everyone? Stay with me a little while please?" He looked so cute begging me and what the hell it was only 8:30 and they could wait to eat or feed themselves! I went back over to the bed and he leapt into my arms. I caught him as he wrapped his legs around me and put his head on my shoulder and gave me an immediate hug. I kissed the top of his head and held him. All my aggravation just drained away as this angel took hold of my feelings. Within minutes I felt good again. I sat and be backed off and used my lap to sit on and looked at me. "Daddy tell me a story!" He just totally made me lose it! He put his thumb to his mouth as he said that and not only was it charming it was hysterically funny. I hugged him just for getting me out of my bad mood and rubbed his back as he lay against me. "You are precious Shawn Michael totally precious to me." "Wow you called me by my middle name. No one has done that in a long time that was neat!" "Oh was it? Shawn Michael? Well Shawn Michael how about we go get us some grub. I was thinking of poisoning everyone after this morning but now maybe I'll just feed them normally." He laughed as he got off me. "You wouldn't do that to us would you Tommy?" "Of course not but when I only get four hours of sleep I do get cranky!" "I know I saw that and heard you tell Luke and Ben off downstairs before. Do you think they learned anything?" "Yeah Shawn, they learned not to screw with me and probably shit themselves after I told Ky to shoot them if they made anymore noise." "Now you have to take care of that don't you?" "Take care of what Shawn?" "Well don't you have to talk to them like you do to everyone else so they know the difference between right and wrong?" "Shawn, Ben is seventeen and should already know and Luke is thirteen and old enough to know too. What they did wasn't bad it was stupid and doesn't really need to be explained. If you did that I would say okay and handle it but they are old enough at their ages to know better. Don't you think that is old enough?" "I guess it depends on how they were raised doesn't it? I mean if they got away with stupid stuff where they are from then what you just did to them before might have really scared them Tommy." He made me think. Damn I hate it when my smart boy does that to me. "Shawn are you sure there isn't an Einstein inside you somewhere?" "Huh? Who is Einstein?" "Okay that answers that!" I chuckled. "No Tommy who was he?" I spent the next few minutes explaining that blunder to him so he knew what I meant. "Wow so you really thought what I said was good and that I was smart to think of it that way?" "Yes cutie, I think you put things into perspective for me and you actually might be right to a point." He smiled he seemed proud of himself. "So I guess I am pretty smart sometimes then." I walked over to him. He was still sitting on the edge of my bed. "Shawn. I don't think you are smart sometimes, I think you are smart all the time my love. You are the smartest nine year old I know!" He was beaming now. "Thanks Tommy that is awesome!" I rubbed his head. "Come on get dressed I need my assistant to help me make food. You up for it?" "Oh yeah!" He got up and out of bed and ran into his room. He only had on his PJ bottoms and a tee shirt. That was how he came in to my room last night and most of that time he didn't even have them on. I smiled as I thought about that. I followed him into his room after shutting my bedroom door. He took off his PJ's and had nothing on under them so I get to see his cute ass for a second. He walked over to his dresser and grabbed some underwear and put a pair on. I watched him dress and he watched me. Not one bit of shyness or embarrassment. Hell why would he after what we have done together. He pulled off his tee shirt and grabbed a clean one out of another draw. "Okay Tommy I am all clean now." I laughed as he got up and headed to me. "Don't forget socks." He turned around and grabbed a pair and put them on. "Okay I am ready to be your assisstent now." "That's assistant you knuckle head." "Oh, well whatever it is I am ready." We headed downstairs together with him right on my tail as I entered the kitchen. Luke and Benjy were sitting at the table eating some cereal as I entered. "They don't look too happy Tommy." "Yeah I know cutie; I think you are right they might need a talking to." He smiled at me. "I am gonna go see Kyle for a bit come get me when you are done okay." "Sure smart boy. I will as soon as I am done." I walked over and sat at the table with them. I looked at them and before I could open my mouth Luke began to speak. "Tommy we were talking and we will totally understand if you want us to leave and go back home. We caused a lot of trouble this morning and we are sorry. I guess you really hate us now." I felt terrible. Shawn was right. "Luke, Ben. I don't hate you at all. Yeah what you two did was a bonehead move and I am sorry I scared both of you when I told Kyle to shoot you two if you did anything else but I was kidding. Didn't you hear every kid at the top of the steps giggle as I went up after that?" "Yeah we did but we thought they were laughing at us for doing such a dumb thing!" They both had their heads bowed and were apparently expecting the worst. "Guys look at me. They lifted their heads. I am sorry and I don't want either of you to leave. I was tired and cranky from no sleep but I acted the same way I would have to any of the boys if they would have done that. It's just how I am. If you do something stupid you will hear it EVERYONE will hear it. I don't care if you have been with me a day or a year. That is who I am." "So you aren't really mad at us?" "No Ben, I was pretty ticked off then but not now. I want both of you here but I want both of you to learn from this. Ask me anything I will give you a totally honest answer. But no you are not leaving. Everyone makes mistakes especially me. I probably make more then everyone because I have to make all the tough decisions here. Sure everybody helps but when the shit hits the fan I get looked at for the answers. Understand?" The both nodded. "Now both of you will learn today what you need to know about us so that this doesn't happen again. Forget about this morning. Its over with. I haven't talked to everyone yet but I am sure the guys like both of you a lot. Didn't they accept you in and help you with your stuff? Let you play games, and make you feel welcomed last night?" "Yes, yeah they did." They both said. "Then you are a part of this family. Sure it will take time for all of us to know you and for you to know us and all of our quirks. But that is okay. We all make mistakes. Just don't make the same one again." "Yeah we won't we promise." "I know you won't, I probably scared both of you to death this morning didn't I?" "Scared? Hell yeah I thought Kyle was really gonna shoot me Tommy." "For Kyle to shoot you you would have to threaten him physically and you didn't come close to that. Of course setting the alarm off didn't help your cause. I warned both of you Kyle comes out with his gun ready to shoot if he hears the alarm didn't I?" "Yeah and he did! I almost shit myself when he came running out." "Well learn from that and you will be fine, both of you will I know it, you are both old enough to know right from wrong aren't you?" Again both nodded yes. "GOOD! Now I am going to make breakfast for everyone and after that we will go over your chores like everyone else has. You can do them for good or swap out with someone else occasionally. I don't care as long as things are clean and nothing is left out to spoil. In a week both of you will feel like this really is your home and all will be forgotten. But please guys if you don't know ask someone. No one bites here. Unless we are having mad sex." They both looked at me with disgusted looks on their faces. "I WAS KIDDING! You will both get used to me I promise. Now you can either help or sit and watch but you are not responsible for making breakfast unless its for yourself. Either I do or Jon does that for everyone. Usually I do. Remember ask questions of anyone and you will get answers no one will laugh at you unless you do something to make them laugh. Be normal and you will become one of us right away. Act like a fool and it will take longer." They were smiling now and wait till I get Shawn! The little bugger was right! I got up and went to Kyle's room to get him. I knocked and entered. "Okay where are you two homos?" "Screw you bro!" I heard come from his room. I entered his room and gave him a look. I was fooling but he didn't know it yet. Although he knew me pretty well sometimes he had to wait a second to be totally sure. This time I had him. so far. he had the serious look on his face now because he wasn't totally sure of me yet. I walked over and looked at Shawn. He had a look of worry on his face. I winked at him and he winked back. He knew. Then I went up to Kyle. "Screw me?" I took my hand and raised it and as I was about to make my move Shawn jumped on my back and Kyle knew immediately I was playing. He jumped on me too and that began the wresting match. Two on one but it took me about ten extra seconds to get both of them under control. Actually just Ky because Shawn was too busy laughing to matter much. I pushed him off and he rolled onto the bed and I attacked Ky and went right for his sweet spot. He yelled no fair and began to squirm like a fish out of water. Shawn just held his ground and watched as I totally took control of Kyle. He didn't want any of this! Kyle was rip roaring out loud trying to get free from my tickling and knowing if I did this too long he would piss himself I stopped after another second or two. He was red as a tomato as I let him catch his breath. Finally he did. "You SUCK! You know how much I hate that! You totally suck!" I laughed at him as I got off of him and helped him up to the sitting position. I looked at Shawn and he was all smiles knowing he wasn't part of this and was safe from the tickle monster. He was almost as bad of not worse when tickled. I looked at him. "You want some of this?" I balked at him. He shook his head no furiously as he smiled at me. Kyle finally caught his breath and shoved me as he got up. "You think you are so tough! He yelled to me. Come on! I'll kick your ass!" I took one step at him and he ran for cover. Shawn started laughing hysterically at that. So Kyle came up behind him and tackled him. His laughter stopped immediately as he started yelling I give! I give! This of course gave me time to attack again as I grabbed Kyle but did nothing more then that this time. He was expecting a lot more then that I figured. But I was tired now and he had enough. "Noooooo! He yelled. Not again please bro I will piss myself if you do that again!" He lay motionless as I hovered over him. He didn't have a clue what I was about to do as he expected the worst. I got real close to him and kissed his forehead and then rolled off him and got up. Knowing he was safe he immediately began with the mouth again. "Yeah good thing you got off me your ass was grass if you didn't!" I looked at Shawn and he just shrugged his shoulders. I made an attack move for loud mouth after he said that and he yelped and tried to get away. One step was all I took and he headed for the hills so to speak. Again Shawn started laughing. I went over to Kyle now and he could tell by the look we were done. I reached out for him and he came to me and immediately hugged me. I held him tightly as I told him I loved him quietly in his ear. Then we broke our embrace and I kissed his head again. "Come on guys lets go eat. I'm starving now." "I'll be right there bro I gotta pee now after you abused me." I laughed at him as Shawn came up to me and put his arm around me as we left Kyle's bedroom all together. Kyle headed for the bathroom as we waited by the door for him. "You really love your brother don't you?" "Cutie he is the only one I love more then you and Jon of course." "Yeah well I understand that." Ky came out as I said that to Shawn and smiled wide. He came over to me and I put my arm around him as we left his room. Shawn on one side and Kyle holding onto me. I felt like a billion dollars now! He let go as we entered the kitchen and Jon had already started mixing the batter for pancakes. "We were hungry and I knew you wouldn't be out right away from the screaming coming from in there so I started making it." "Good, thanks." Jon looked at Kyle who was still red faced. "How bad did he kick your ass this time Ky?" He gave Jon the finger and everyone in the room started laughing. "That bad Ky, wow." More laughter and a double finger from Kyle to Jon this time. This was priceless. If anyone respected Kyle it was Jon but he knew how to push Kyle's buttons without trying hard at all! As I took over for Jon he walked over to Kyle and put his arm around him. He was seated now and Kyle just took Jon's arm and hugged back as best as he could from his seated position. Jon cared for Kyle like he was a second brother. Everyone knew that. But over all I think Shawn was Ky's best friend. They talk about a lot together and you know I never ever invade that privacy! For all I know Shawn could be who Kyle was talking to that day but I don't see them together sexually. It had to be someone else I just don't know who Ky has the hots for yet. It's driving me crazy! And for all I know the way Kyle gets sometimes he could have even been alone and just being Kyle. That is why it's bothering me but not to the point where I am going to get stupid over it. The rest of breakfast went well. Everyone showed up eventually as the smell of pancakes began to fill the house. Luke and Ben sat together at the end of the table but talked to the others as they waited to eat. Danny, Joey and Jon helped set the table since Billy isn't quite up to it yet. Normally that is his job when we all eat together. I looked at Billy for a second as he came in and he came over to me. We had a brief chat about things and about what I expected from him and he apologized for abusing the pills once again. I told him it was okay and I wasn't mad at him which seemed to relax him some. Poor kid has been through enough I don't want him hooked on painkillers now but I want to make sure he knows if it happens he will get a foot in his ass. After we were done I went over to Luke and Ben and told them if they wanted to go play with their four wheelers now was the time. They cheered and got up to get them. I told Kyle to keep an eye on them since they were going out and he went to get a gun, it was beautiful outside and after the clean up we were all out watching them race their cars and now everyone wanted one. Of course!! I agreed that later or tomorrow we could go get them. There was still smoke over the city but the wind was blowing the other way so it didn't affect us at all other then me knowing what was probably happening down there. I am afraid we are probably going to have to find this pyro before things get really bad. But not now we are having too much fun on this warm sunny day. Probably one of the last warm ones as September is only days away now. Before long we will be bombed with snowstorms and probably stuck on the hill for a while. It doesn't matter with the generator and plenty of food we will be okay the only thing I want to do is load up on fuel that we can store in the house next door after we check that out soon. Its close enough that we can load it up with stuff but far enough away that if it caught on fire we would still be safe. This piece of property is that big. Even if we had to walk to it in deep snow we could make it there in a short time. But that is months away and we will be well prepared by then. I'll have lots of shovels and ice remover stuff, sleds and warm clothes and of course now that Ben his here he can help me bring a plow up the hill and follow with the truck so I don't have to leave it behind. This might be a big help, bigger them I ever thought as long as he isn't totally stupid, which I doubt very much. My only fear is what if a storm knocks the power out. I know we will be okay with the generator for a while but without power everything will come to a stop eventually. No gas to pump and so on. But I am not going to worry about something we can't control! We'll deal with that if and I mean if it happens. For now I want to enjoy the boys racing the cars and from the nagging I am getting it looks like a trip to Radio Shack or some store will happen soon because now Kyle is busting my balls about wanting one and you know I can't say no to that spoiled brat! Danny came up to me and told me that. well he begged me to get going because Christian was driving him nuts now because he wanted one too. So basically I am going to spend the afternoon looking for these cars for everyone so they can use them for a day and get put away after that. I finally had enough and I went over to Ben and asked him where we could get them. "Oh Tommy if you want to take us somewhere, about a thirty minute ride past where we lived right off the parkway there is a store that sells nothing but this stuff and air planes and all the accessories too. They even have boats that you can run on water. All you have to do is know how to mix the fuel and you can buy them build or buy the parts and build them first. It's totally awesome. "Can we go there? Please bro?" I looked at him. "You can be such a pain sometimes. Yeah we can go there." "Thanks BB." Danny looked at Kyle. "What is BB I never heard you call him that before." "Yeah well usually I don't. I haven't called him that in a long time its just Big Brother. I had trouble saying it when I was younger so I just started calling him BB. "Oh I see. Kewl!" said Danny. "Yeah I thought about it the other day and decided to see if he would get mad if I used it again." "Did he?" "No. I tried it the other day and he was fine with it." "Nice." "Well that was special you two, now lets get everyone together so we can go." "Boy he sure can be cranky sometimes Ky." "Yeah tell me about it! BB can be ball buster too!" Danny started laughing. "I heard that!" I said to them. Now I won't know which they mean if I hear BB. They laughed more and ran for the truck to avoid me. At least it won't be difficult to round up the rest of them everyone is here already watching this. "Okay guys we are going to this place about an hour away and then everyone can get what they want." The usual collective cheer went up. "Okay everyone to the truck." I headed up and locked the house and alarmed it. Alarmed how? Well I got lucky while I was in the private room I found his book with passwords and the alarm code so now we can be safe even when we aren't home to some degree. I even changed the password just incase someone is still alive and snooping or possibly hiding in the house somewhere? I know it's far fetched but we still haven't checked the attic and even though nothing weird has happened to make me wonder about this being true I guess maybe I might be a little more ahead in thinking then others or just paranoid. Anyway I want to get up there and try to verify that there aren't anymore secret rooms or hidden panels. Now with this code changed the alarm will just go off and as far as I know not shut off until I turn it off. I have to give the new codes to the boys at least Jon and Kyle for now. Then we can feel a little bit more secure. So much for thinking and day dreaming. They are yelling for me so I better get going. I headed out to meet them and now even this big monster was full. I just hope we have enough room for whatever we take when we get there. "You guys can get what you want when we get there but remember how full this truck is now so I don't hear anyone complain about room when we are done in there. You guys are going to have to hold things and put stuff between your legs if we over do it." They understood the ride home will probably leave little room for comfort. I started the truck and we were off. One quick detour I haven't gassed up in a while so I stopped to pump some diesel. We haven't been going far so this big truck and its big tank weren't that empty. I stopped at the station down the road from us which is the only one up here on top of the hill too. The guy was pricy since everyone up here had money he charged about 15 cents more a gallon for everything. Doesn't matter now does it? I filled up and finally we were off to this place. At least we had something close by when it was time to stock up for the winter. Now all I needed were a lot of gas cans. "What's the name of this place Benjy?" "It's called the Lawrenceville Hobby Shop." "Guess that makes sense." I took the back road down since it let out a bit farther up the parkway at the bottom and we were on the way. The first food place we passed started the next round of bitching. Now everyone was hungry. "Okay, okay we can stop. I looked at Jon who was riding shotgun and smiled at him. Kyle? You packing?" "Yeah from before why?" "You know why. If we hit a new place we need to check it out." "Oh, oh yeah I got ya." "Good. Jon hold the wheel for a second please." He grabbed the steering wheel as I reached under the seat and grabbed my spare gun. "Now we are ready." Kyle laughed when I said that. Jon shook his head and Shawn yelled out yeah Tommy you get `em! Leave it to cutie to come up with something silly. We passed the Pottersville exit which prompted both Luke and Ben to say in unison `there is our exit.' They started some you owe me a beer thing after that and everyone started talking about booze. Of course someone had to say Tommy we want beer and now I have juvenile delinquents in the truck. "No beer smart asses." "We were kidding. Kinda." "Yeah well kid this! That is something we won't be doing soon. I am not about to start cleaning a house full of vomit because you guys feel like getting bombed off your tree. And even if you weren't serious and as a warning to all of you. I find drugs or alcohol in the house or on someone's breath and the punishment will be severe and no I am not trying to be a ball buster Danny.but I want to make sure that doesn't happen since it hasn't come up before and we have two new people living with us that don't know every rule yet. "Yeah well you will tell them won't you Tommy!" "Dan. I shook my head. should I use you as my example?" "No, no, no! Please let's not go there." Jon looked back and then in a low tone whispered to me that Danny turned red after that comment from me. "Yeah I guess that still smarts in his mind." "Hey I hope you two aren't whispering about me!" "No Dan relax we aren't." He was two rows back with his brother, Joey and Billy so he couldn't hear what I said but Kyle did. He was right behind us and I got a smack on the back of my head from him. "Liar! You were too talking about him!" "Shut up Kyle before I kid your butt! I don't want him mad now he has been good." "Yeah well then you might want to keep your comments to yourself guys before he does hear you." "Kyle, shut up!" "Hey why is there more whispering up there?" "Don't worry about it Danny." Now the truck grew quiet. Good thing we were almost there. I was approaching the exit. We can get off this subject before anything stupid happens and I am sure seeing the store will change the subject right away! "Make the next left and its on the right side Tommy." "Okay Ben." Sure enough there's the sign. I pulled up and stopped the truck. Doors flew open and kids started to run to the store. "STOP!" I screamed. Well at least they listen. They turned to me with puzzled looks. "Everyone right here now!" I pointed to the ground in front of me. "Geeze you don't have to get so bossy!" Joey said. "Joey, guys what is our number one rule?" Shawn spoke up. "Can't go into a new store until it's checked first by you and Kyle." "Thank you cutie! EXACTLY!" I looked at them. Not everyone was guilty of rushing the store but enough that it mattered. "Now please stay here until we know this place is safe." "Kyle and I pulled out our guns and entered the store." When we got inside I turned to Ky. "Ky, you know we should teach them all a lesson and start shooting." "Yeah but I don't want to ride home with any of the boys with their underwear full of shit!" I laughed. We gave the place the once over it wasn't that big and headed outside. "Okay now all you monsters can come in!" We almost got ran over in the mad rush. Then all I heard was oooo's and ahhh's as everyone saw something they wanted. And of course the next thing was; no I saw it first I want that one. Tommy!!!! Here we go! Round one! "Okay boys, rules. both of you saw it and want it right Dan, Joe?" "Yeah but I had it first!" "Danny no fighting. We flip a coin and the winner gets it okay?" "Yeah I guess so. I took out a quarter I always carry with me. "Joey call it in the air." "Heads!" I caught it and flipped it on my arm "Tails! Sorry Joe this one goes to Danny." "Ahhh shit!" he said. "Dan take your car and shop." "You, I pointed to Joey, outside NOW! He shoved the door open as it slammed back against the wall and he walked out in disgust. I followed as I pointed to the truck. When we got there I gave him a look. "What is your problem? You know cursing isn't okay!" "You do it all the time why the fuck can't I do it?" "Joey get in the truck you are done shopping today!" "No! Ohhh come on man! This isn't fair! I want to go back inside!" He ignored me and walked past me. "JOEY!" At least he stopped. "Please don't do something you will regret. I don't want to punish you more then this." "Look Tommy you can do what you want but I want to go back inside and get a racing truck like Ben and Luke have." "What is wrong with you today? You have never acted this way." "Tommy I am going inside! Take your rules and give them to someone who cares!" He shoved past me and swung the door back open. He took one step inside and Kyle had his gun right in his face. It surprised me a lot! Matter of fact I wasn't that happy about it but I will talk to him later. I can't have this blow up anymore then Joe already did. I never saw him like this as long as I have known him and that is since he was five. If I wasn't crazy I would swear he was on something. But right now he was staring down the barrel of Kyle's gun. "Joey you heard Tommy. Turn around and go back to the truck!" Everyone stopped what they were doing inside the store and watched Kyle point his gun at Joey. None of them knew what happened outside and right now Kyle was the bad guy so to speak. This was getting messy really fast. I watched as the others gathered around to see what was going on and why Kyle who was the number one favorite was pointing his gun at one of us. I walked over to them. "Ky, its okay put it down." He did so immediately without blinking. "Go ahead Joey go inside. Get what you want." He pushed past Kyle with little resistance and entered the store. "Come out here Ky." He came over to me. "Tommy I was just watching your back." "Kyle I appreciate that but you know the number one rule with guns?" "Yeah only point a gun at someone if you are going to use it." "Exactly!" "But Tommy he wasn't listening to you." "Kyle, that is Joey not a stranger and something, is wrong with him! I had it under control and you pulling that gun on him just set you back a whole bunch in the eyes of your friends. I love that you wanted to help me bro, but no one inside knew what was happening but you. Now everyone sees you point a gun at one of us. You are instantly the bad guy now bro. Go put the gun in the truck!" "But Tommy." "NOW, please Kyle. Please do this for me." He stomped off and did what I asked. He came back over. "Now go inside and quietly pick out what you want and then take it to the truck. Kyle, please do this. You will understand why later. I promise I will do everything I can to make this right but right now we have eight kids inside that don't know what happened and might be afraid of you. So just act normal, get your racing car and come back outside and wait in the truck for me. Okay bro?" "Yes sir." He shrugged off back into the store. Now I had a mess to try and clean up. I had to think. How the hell am I going to get us past this without the boys losing Kyle's trust! The only way I can think of is getting Joey to admit what just happened out here and I don't think that is going to happen. Now what? There is a ruckus inside! I ran inside and thankfully it wasn't Kyle but Danny and Joey fighting over a truck again. What the fuck is wrong with Joey today? I went over and broke it up. "What happened?" I looked at Dan. "I had the truck I wanted from before and Joey came over again and grabbed it out of my hands without saying anything and said he wanted it and I was out of luck!" Well this helps Kyle a little but not much. "Joey this is twice now that you did this! What is wrong?" "Nothing Tommy. why don't you just fuck off and let me have what I want okay!" He slammed down the truck breaking it into pieces and stormed out of the store cursing up a storm. "Let me go after him Tommy." "No Billy let him go. Look everyone come here please. We need to talk. I don't know what happened to Joey I think he is on something." "Drugs?" Asked Billy. "Maybe, you know as well as I do he isn't like this normally so I can't think of anything else. Kyle heard him arguing with me outside before and he totally disobeyed me and came back inside. That is why Kyle pulled his gun on him. It was wrong to do and he knows that now but he was protecting me. Everyone sees how Joey is behaving now and I am afraid this isn't going to get better it is going to become worse before we get home. So please I need everyone to cooperate, getting Joey under control might require me to use physical strength and I don't want to hurt him or scare any of you . So you have all been warned for now. Please understand I will do what I can to stop him but he might get violent so don't get mad at me if I hit him. Okay?" They all shook their heads yes as this fun trip now turned into something I never expected. A mini disaster! I headed outside and walked towards Joey who was across the street about 50 yards away pacing around there looking like he was on something for sure. "Tommy stay the fuck away from me okay! I don't want you in my fucking face anymore. You aren't in charge of me anymore!" "Joey I am in charge of you and yes you are going to listen to me and do what I say whether you like it or not. Now get over here!" He shot me the middle finger so I walked across the street to him. "What are you on Joey?" "I'm not on nothing!" "You are lying to me. What did you take?" "Nothing! I didn't take any fucking pills if that's what you mean!" "Then what did you do some weed?" "Yeah how did you know I found a joint before packed away in the house and was curious so I smoked it. Man it was great until you started bossing me around! Why don't you go back inside and let me be alone. I don't want you around!" I turned to go back to the truck and everyone was on the other side of the street and they heard everything. Kyle was off the hook so to speak and they were right next to him. This might not be bad for him but it was still something Kyle and I have to work out alone. I turned back to Joey. "Come on Joe lets get in the truck so I can get you home." "No! I told you that you are not my boss and I am not going anywhere with you now!" I grabbed him by the arm. On his best day he wasn't close to half my strength. He swung at me with his free arm as I took his arm and put it behind him and applied enough pressure so he couldn't do anything else. He started cursing and yelling at me telling me to get the fuck off him. I walked him back to the truck. "Kyle go in the back and get me some rope." He did as I asked and I tied Joey's hands behind his back and put him in the truck. He began kicking the seat and screaming again. I went inside and smacked him in the face and he immediately calmed some. "Owww! Fuck you ass hole!" I smacked him again a little harder. "Owww cut it out!" "You shut up and I will stop otherwise I am going to keep smacking you harder until I get your attention." "Go fuck yourself" This time I smacked him quite a bit harder and he let out a moan. "Joey I need you to be quiet. Can you be?" "Yeah just don't hit me again that really hurt that time." "Well I am sorry but you are being a total ass hole!" "Okay, okay I'll be quiet just don't hit me again." "I won't as long as you behave." He was in the truck so no one could really see or hear what I was doing. I turned to get out of the back seat and he called my name. I turned back to see what he wanted. "Yeah Joey what's up?" He spit right in my face. I had enough. I punched him semi-hard right in the belly twice. He doubled over and gasped for air. I pushed him back up right and grabbed a handful of his balls. "Now I had enough of you dumb ass. If you don't want to lose these. As I gave him a good squeeze, I suggest you calm down now or I will rip them right the fuck off! You got me?" "Yeah, yeah just let go that hurts!" He squeaked out. "I'll let go when I want to not when you tell me to and if you don't like that you shouldn't try drugs! I squeezed again and really got his attention. It's amazing no matter what you are on how quickly you can get someone's attention this way. I finally let go and grabbed his face once more and gave him a dirty look for spitting at me and I got out of the truck. I looked back at him. "You do anything else to piss me off and I will lock your ass up here and you can stay here alone tonight. I'll come back for you tomorrow. MAYBE! That means nothing to eat, or drink and you can piss and shit in your own pants all night because I won't untie your hands either! So think about it Joey. Calm the fuck down or stay here alone tied up!" I got out and walked over to the others while I wiped the spit off my face. "Did he spit on you?" "Yeah Kyle, we had a little talk while I gained control of him and for now I hope he will be okay. He smoked some pot he said he found in the house. How stupid can you be and how did he know so much about pot?" "Because he has smoked it before Tommy." "How do you know Billy?" "Because he told me once when we were. You know." "Yeah I got ya. But I don't get him. Now we have to deal with that all the way home. Well look guys I am not going to let him spoil this for everyone else. If he acts up again he stays here tonight alone. I hope you guys don't think bad of me for that but I am not going to have an accident or have him spitting on everyone all the way home just because he thought it would be cool to smoke a joint. I hope everyone learns something from this because when he does come back from this he will still have a major punishment to deal with." "Tommy we, well I understand and you do what you have to with him. I never smoked anything and I am not into how he is acting now one bit!" "Thanks Billy but what he needs is time to sleep this off and we need him under control but like I said everyone I hope you don't get too upset when he gets his punishment. He is grounded in his room for a week minimum for this and that means no contact from any of you so he learns that this is serious and spitting in my face will not be tolerated!" The totally agreed and at least no one had anything bad to say about my decision. I totally hate this but what can I do except ground him? Send him back to the old neighborhood? I don't think that is good not with the pyro still around. I want him alive but not doped up! "Okay boys go shop try to have fun we won't let him and his weed make this a totally bad day!" They all went back inside and I looked at Kyle. "Go on have fun, you probably will get away with what happened but don't you ever do that again." "I'm sorry Tommy I wasn't thinking. The power of the gun went to my head." "Come here!" He slowly walked to me. I gave him a hug. "Use this thing Ky, I pointed to his head. You are one of the smartest people I know! Think! Use your brain next time. God what if something happened and he grabbed the gun and you shot him in the face? How would you feel? Remember how you felt after you killed Jimmy and he was bad? What if that accidentally happened to Joey?" He bowed his head. I put my hand under his chin. A tear rolled down his cheek. "It's ok sweetie. I didn't mean to make you cry I just wanted to make you think." "Yeah but you are right BB if that happened I could never forgive myself" I took him and held him for a bit. "Okay Ky, dry your face and go get a few things. Come on we came here to have fun." I gave him another hug and kiss on the head. "Go on have fun." He headed inside. "Ky?" "Yeah BB?" "I love you!" "Thanks I love you too!" I followed and went inside. We all got a bunch of stuff and finally everyone was ready to go. We got back to the truck and thankfully Joey was passed out or sleeping. At least the ride home should be quiet. I reached back and untied his hands. "Okay volunteers on who sits next to our druggie?" "I will Tommy I still care about him even if he was stupid today." "Okay thanks Billy, anyone else?" I looked at Danny? He shook his head no he was still mad. "I will Tommy." "Okay Ky, lets get in and get home before he wakes up." I noticed Luke and Benjy talking and I went over to them before they got in the truck. "This isn't how we live guys I'm sorry you had to see this." "It's not your fault Tommy. We were talking and we thought you handled it well." "Thanks boys. Go get in we all want to get home and put this behind us." We loaded up and like I figured we had very little room left and Joey didn't get a racer either. Too bad! He is lucky he is coming home the way I feel. The ride home was uneventful and I pulled into the driveway and everyone got out. Joey was still passed out and he fell over in the back seat after the others got out. I guess Kyle or Billy was holding him up. I went and opened the house and went back to get Joey. I grabbed him and threw him over my back and carried him up to his room. Now to get even! I laid him on his bed and went and started a cold shower. He was going to get a little wake up call now. I went and looked outside so I could make sure I wasn't being watched and got someone mad at me. They were all playing with their cars I guess the batteries were charged or something. After I checked the water and went back inside. I stripped him naked and took a look at what was a pretty cute boy, now passed out naked on his bed. I thought about it and then just decided not to do anything to him the way he was. I picked his naked ass up and threw him on my shoulder again and carried him into the bathroom. I knew there was no way of doing this without soaking myself so I took off everything except my shorts and slid back the shower curtain. I moved the shower head and carefully placed him in the tub. I directed the shower water back on him and after ten or fifteen seconds Joey began to stir. He woke screaming about the freezing water. I was soaked too but more mad then anything. As he gained his wits he realized he was now wet, cold and totally naked in a shower with me standing over him. It had been roughly two hours since he last spit at me and I hoped some of the high wore off. "Ahhhhh what the hell! What? I am freaking freezing! TURN IT OFF! TURN IT OFF NOW!!" I turned it off and he got up and tried to get out of the tub. "Stay in there!" "Why? What are you doing to me and why am I wet and naked? Ohhhh my head!" He grabbed for his head. "Something wrong or did you forget? Do you even remember what happened a few hours ago when we went to that hobby store?" "No I don't remember much of it except I was outside and felt really weird." I turned the water back on this time warmer so he wouldn't get sick. "Thanks Tommy." "Don't thank me! Finish washing your naked ass and dry off! When you get out you and I are going to have a little talk. You are grounded!" I took off out of the bathroom and heard him moan again as I slammed the door shut.
