Date: Sat, 5 Aug 2023 21:53:29 +0000 (UTC) From: Knight Timothy Subject: Young Innocence chapter 11 Smiles appeared on most everyones faces when Carter came walking into the classroom holding Matties hand. "Finally" "Now we can only hope that Carter starts talking about something other than Mattie" a girl in the back of the classroom called out. Laughter and cheers broke out around the room. Mrs Victoria even giggled alittle. Carter turned beet red as Mattie blushed at having his name mentioned. "Okay, settle down everyone" "Lets leave the two lovebirds alone so we can start class" Mrs Victoria soon got everyone settled down. Surprisingly the time flew by and before anyone knew it, they were dismissed for a break and then lunch. Mattie and Carter grabbed their backpacks and headed right for the bathroom to get their wet diapers changed. "Let me go first Mattie" "Sure thing Carter" Mattie pulled open Carters backpack but didn't see any diapers in it. "Umm, Carter" "What" "Where are your diapers" "I grabbed one of your colored diapers this morning and put it in your side pocket" "Okay" "By the way, where did you get those cool looking diapers at" "I'm apart of the Pampers Youth Diaper Trails" "You should ask your mommy to go by the medical supply store and see if you can still get signed up for it" "Cool, I'll do that" "Hey Mattie" "Yes Carter" "We're both turning 10" "I know, my big brother Donald said its our first milestone" "What ever that means" "I think it means that were growing up" "I also think we should stop saying mommy and daddy" "Your know your right, Donald stopped that when he turned 10" "Yes, so did my brother, Perry as well" "You think that they'll be upset" Mattie asked. "Our moms might be but I'm sure our dad's won't be" "Now please change me before I start leaking" So with all that said and out of the way, Mattie opened Carters wet diaper. His dick was hard as steel and slapped against his belly as it made a smacking sound. Carter saw Mattie staring at it as he licked his lips. Blinking his eyes several times, Mattie snapped himself out of it and got back to the need at hand and got Carter cleaned up. Then he slipped the red colored youth diaper under his boyfriends butt and added a good layer of baby powder. Ever so gently Mattie grabbed Carters painfully hard dick and tried to point it down, but it wouldn't bend that way. "Stroke it for me Mattie, please" "It's the only way you're going to be able to point it down" Mattie took some of the baby oil and put it in the palm of his hand. He reached out and grabbed Carter's hard dick and slowly started to stroke it up and down. As he squeezed it in his palm, he heard Carter moan. The sensation that Carter was feeling caused him to thrust his hips up into Matties hand repeatedly. Mattie continued squeezing and jerking his hand up and down as he picked up speed and started jerking faster and faster. Pp Carter suddenly cried out as his body tensed up. He thrusted his hips up into Matties hand as his body shuddered. Mattie felt Carters dick pulsing in his hand and looked up in time to see his boyfriend's eyes roll back into his head as he went limp. Very easily, he pointed Carter's dick down and snuggly taped the diaper into place. The two boys switched places and Carter quickly got to work. He removed Matties super soaked diaper which took him a total of four wet wipes to clean him up. Carter wasn't as strong willed as Mattie had been when he was changed. Because he bent down and sucked Matties dick right into his mouth. This instantly caused a groan to escape from Mattie. That was quickly followed by his body shuddering as he experienced the most intense tingles of his young life. Even though Mattie had just orgasmed, he was still partially hard. Carter slipped a yellow colored diaper underneath Matties butt, before powdering him and then securing his diaper very snuggly around his waist. The boys now freshly diapered, headed off to lunch. They caught up with the rest of their classmates but noticed that Carl was nowhere to be seen. It was Peter who finally saw Carl. "Hey guys" "He's over there sitting with Cindy" "Well everyone, it's official" "Carl's playing for the other team" "Hahaha" the group laughed. "Your friends are staring at us" Cindy said. "That's okay" "It was Carter and Mattie who suggested I come find you" "Oh really" Cindy stated surprised with a smirk on her face that Carl saw. "Do you want to come over after school" "We can get a ride home from my brother" "He has his learners permit and picks me up every day" "I thought he had to drive with an adult" "He's supposed to but what my parents don't know won't hurt him" Carter didn't think that was wise but decided to chance it, if it meant being with Cindy. "Sure but I'll have to call my brother Connor and let him know where I'm at so he doesn't worry about me" "Do you need to call your mommy also to let her know" "No" Carl stated somewhat annoyed by that question. "Great then" "I'll see you at my locker or out front after last bell" "Ok, till then" Carl said as he got up and headed to his next class. The boys headed off to study period in the library and met up in their little hideaway behind the stacks of bookshelves. Carl was already sitting there with a big smile plastered on his face, when the rest of his friends came walking in. He got up and greeted his buddies. "There you guys are" "I was wondering if you were going to get here before the bell rang" "We all saw you with Cindy at lunch time" "Yeah, she's a sweetheart" "She invited me over to her house after school today" The boys smiled and congratulated Carl. As the boys sat down, Mattie laid his head against Carters chest and put his hand up under his shirt. He lightly played with his smooth chest as Carter wrapped his arms around him. Peter looked around for a place to sit down but didn't see one. Now that Timmi and Tommi knew for sure that Carl wasn't interested in him. They each reached a hand up and pulled him down between them. It was a nice snug fit. They turned to him. "You don't know how long we've waited for this" the twins said to Peter. Then they began to make out with him in their small corner love seat. Carl looked around the room. He was very happy for all his friends but also felt out of place now. He quietly slipped out of the room and headed towards the bathroom. Besides needing to go, he also needed to think. He wasn't sure how he felt about all of this. His dad as of late, started making jokes about gay people. He was super scared that he might be one. So when Carter and Mattie suggested he seek out Cindy, he took the leap. He knew that this would make his dad proud of him. When he pushed opened the bathroom door, he heard two older boys bullying a younger boy. "Come on, you can do better than that" "Use your mouth, watch your teeth or I'll hit you again" The boys heard someone enter and stepped away from the boy as they looked up to see who had entered. Carl walked up to the pisser and unzipped his pants so he could pee. The boys, not fearing this new boy who looked like a 5th grader, pushed the boy into the back stall and shoved their dicks back into his face. "Come on kid, lick it" "Use your tongue, wrap your lips around my dick" "If you bite me, I swear, I'll0 break your jaw" "Come on, suck my dick too" When Carl was done pissing, he went to the sinks to wash his hands. He positioned himself to be able to see into the far stall. He saw a boy on his knees being forced to sucked the two older boys dicks. The kneeling boy coughed and gagged, cause one of the two boys shoved his dick into his throat. This caused him to pull back. It was at that moment, that Carl saw the boys face. It was Dylans. Even though Dylan was a pest at times, he was still a friend. After Carl finished drying his hands, he turned around and walked over to the two boys. They were in the stall forcing his friend to suck their dicks. The one boy turned to Carl and said to get lost or you'll be next. Carl, lost it. Rage that he didn't know that he had inside of him exploded. "Aaaaaahhhhh, Aaaaaahhhhh, Aaaaaahhhhh" Carl screamed as he slammed his balled up fist into the boys face closest to him. Carl turned slightly and continued hitting the other boys face as well. Dylan sat there in shock, watching his savor, Carl beat the crap out of these two 9th grade boys who are TA's. They had forced him into the boys bathroom to suck their dicks. They told him, that he was going to be their personal cock sucker. But here they were getting their butts kicked by a 5th grader. The two boys each had bloody noses as they scrambled to get out of that stall and out of the bathroom. Carl helped Dylan get up to he's feet and to get him cleaned up. Still in shock, Dylan began to cry. Carl wrapped Dylan up into his arms and held him. "It's okay Dylan" "Those boys can't hurt you anymore" "Why did you help me" "I thought you didn't like me" "Dylan, you might be a pest but your our pest" "Friends stick together" Dylan had gotten his crying under control and for some reason that he couldn't explain, he kissed Carl on the cheek. Carl didn't pull away or flinch. He actually felt a stirring in his pants. Dylan looked down and saw Carl's hands. "Carl, your knuckles are bleeding" "Come, we need to get to last period" Carl said. "No, not before I clean you up" Soon the two boys were heading off to their last period. ------------------- Mary and Sue with the help from Tony and his crew, had completed all the painting and flooring in both houses. Next was setting up the furniture in all the rooms. The kitchen appliances that the ladies had picked out were being delivered and set up tomorrow morning. Both of the ladies were extremely excited that within a week, both of the houses would be completed. ------------------ Dale and Bob were working their crews around the clock. They were trying to get the tennis/hockey complex completed before the season was in full swing. They even hired on more hands to work on the dome systems that covered the entire complex. The tennis part of the complex had 10 courts in total. There were seven outside tennis courts and another 3 with stadium seating around them under the inside dome. The hockey side had 3 outside hockey rinks with seating for each one. Plus a stadium center hockey rink with seating for 15,000 people under the inside dome. The complex was now in its 5th year of construction and over $78,000,000 in total cost. The money was from Bob's inheritance that his parents left for their only son. Dale's and his company did almost all of the work. The place was a kids sports paradise. They also had a Skateboard/Rollerblade park area as well as a 72 hole putt putt golf course with all kinds of water hazards, tunnels, moving parts and obstacles. It also was also covered and you could play year round. All the hardwood trees that had to be cut down to make room for the complex were milled into construction materials and used on the site. This saved a total in cost of over 8 million dollars. They made sure to leave an abundance of hardwood trees throughout the complex. This gave the complex a beautiful ambiance. Dale's side of the company handled all the excavating and concrete work. As well as all the layout and planting of the landscaping design. Bob and his crew, took care of everything else. The project started off as a practice tennis area for Carter. Then it expanded to include a hockey rink for Donald to use. But it turned into something bigger after Sue interjected that a duel use working tennis/hockey complex would attract major backing and attract an assortment of great events. So the idea grew and grew into what it is today. The park is scheduled to open in one months time, if everything goes as planned. They'll be able to announce the date of their Grand Opening soon. ------------------ Carter and Mattie got off the school bus at Carters stop and headed straight upstairs to get showered and changed so they would be ready to go to Donalds Toronto Blues hockey game against the Minnesota Gophers. Carter and Mattie were super excited. After the boys stripped off their clothes and got out of their wet diapers, they got in to the shower together. The boys helped wash each others body from head to toe. They had fun washing each others hair before rinsing off and getting out. Carter first, then Mattie tenderly dried each other off. The boys got diapered but before they got dressed, Mattie needed to paint their faces. Mattie went to his backpack and pulled out his face paint makeup kit. He sat Carter down first in front of the mirror in the bathroom. He proceeded to paint half his face in Minnesota Gophers colors and the other half of his face in Toronto Blues colors. Then on his forehead he wrote, Gophers on one side. Added a slash and wrote Blues on the other side. When Carter looked up at the finished product, he was really impressed. Mattie asked Carter if he thought he could match what he just did and do his face for him. But Carter told him that he would have to pass. So Mattie went ahead and did it himself. But he did his face opposite of what Carter had on his face. So Mattie put the Toronto Blues colors on his left side and the Minnesota Gophers colors on his right side. On his forehead, the Blues went on the left and after the slash, he put the Gophers on the right side. The boys were almost ready. Now they just needed to put on their clothes and jerseys. Then they would be able to head downstairs and get something to eat. Mattie had packed his Minneapolis Wild Fluery # 29 jersey and put it on over his t-shirt. Carter wore a Minnesota Gophers jersey. Both boys went downstairs to make a couple of sandwiches and wait for everyone else to get home. ------------- Carl met up with Cindy out front of the school and waited with her until her brother showed up. Soon a white Chevy pickup pulled up in front of them. Carl being the gentleman that he is, opened the door for Cindy to let her get in first. But Cindy insisted that he get in first. Not wanting to argue, he did as she requested. What Carl didn't know was, that the other door didn't open as the lock mechanism was stuck. So Carl climbed in as Cindy had requested him to do. Then she got in after him and buckled up. Then locked the door. Carl also put his seat belt on and turned to Cindy as the two started to talk. The last thing he remembered was someone saying, well well well, look who it is. Before he was blindsided him with a sucker punch that came out of nowhere. He was knocked out cold. --------------- Mary and Sue pulled into the driveway with Bob and Dale right behind them. They parked their vehicles side by side in front of Dales and Sues 3 car garage. As the group came walking into the foyer, they looked over towards the kitchen. They saw their sons sharing a kiss at the kitchen table. "I hope were not disturbing you two" "But we need to get going shortly" Looking up together, the boys blushed knowing they had been seen kissing each other by their parents for the first time. "We were just eating a sandwich before we leave" "We've already showered, diapered and are dressed to go" "We have also packed our backpacks with extra diapers and supplies" "Your faces look great" "Who did you get to do that for you" Sue asked. "Mattie did both of us" "Doesn't it look great" "I never knew my baby boy was so talented" Mary said. "Mommy, I'm going to be 10 in two days" "Your going to need to stop calling me that" "But you just called me mommy" "That's what babies say" "Well in that case, it's going to be mom for now on" Mattie stated with conviction. "And daddy, I hope that your not upset if I start calling you just dad" "Nothing would make me prouder to know my son is growing up" Mattie started to tear up. He began to understand what his big brother meant by reaching his first milestone. "Now don't cry or you'll ruin your face paint" Mattie blinked his eyes and shook his head. "I'm not crying" "Okay everyone" "We need to leave in 20 minutes" "You two boys, clean up and make sure you have everything" "We do dad" both of us said. Dale and Bob went downstairs to get ready as Sue and Mary went upstairs. The dads were getting ready downstairs, when Dale said. "Did you notice that Carter called you Dad" Bob replied, "Yes I picked up on that" The downstairs showers are plenty big enough for both men to take their showers at the same time. They got finished quickly, as there was plenty of room for both of them. Everyone finished and met up back in the kitchen. They decided on taking Mary's 9 passenger Denali to the game so everyone would have a comfortable ride. Mattie and Carter sat in the very back seats. Sue and Mary sat behind the driver and front passenger seat that had Bob driving and Dale riding shotgun. Soon they were on the highway heading for the Gophers home ice complex, The 3M Arena. ---------------- Carl began to regain consciousness and slowly opened his eyes. He tried to move but realized he couldn't. He had been tied up. Not only that but he could tell that he was only wearing his underwear and t-shirt. He opened his eyes but saw nothing. They had also blindfolded him. He called out. "Cindy, untie me" "Now, why would I want to do that" "My brothers told me what you did to them today" "It's because of you, my brothers couldn't have their fun with your little faggot friend, Dylan" "So you're going to take his place" "I can't believe how stupid you are, if you thought that I would have anything to do with you and your little gay friends" "I couldn't believe it when you sat down with me at lunch time" "I figured that I would have some fun and humiliate you" After hearing that, Carl panicked and started thrashing around. He was jerking and shaking his body from side to side. He was pulling really hard on his bound wrist when he felt something snap. Then the weight lifting bench that he was tied to started to rock back and forth when it suddenly tipped over. The brothers heard the loud crashing noise and came running back into the room. They saw the boy had tipped over the bench and started kicking him. Carl was crying and screaming as he tried to cover himself but it was impossible for him to do anything. Cindy finally stepped in and stopped them. "See what you made my brothers do to you" "We need to get him out of here before mom gets home" "Okay, pick him up and go drop him off out by the Quarry" "Take his clothes and dump them somewhere else" "Carl sweetie, you're not going to say anything because you don't want me to show all of your friends these pictures I took of you" "Or maybe I'll just send them to your daddy" "I'm sure he'll love to know that his baby boy is nothing but a faggot" Those words cut Carl to the core. They took pictures of him. He can't let that get out. His father would probably beat him even worse then he's beat up now. Carl was in major pain. His body hurt him badly where he had been kicked repeatedly. His wrist had already swollen. He knew he broke it. The pain only got worse and got so bad, that he blacked out. ----------- After a 25 minute drive, Bob pulled into the parking lot of the 3M arena. They arrived 1 hour before the game was to start. They were greeted by the sight of hundreds of cars, trucks and campers. All the people were outside tailgating. The air was filled with mouth watering smells that you could take a bite out of. Everyone unloaded and started to make there way towards the main entrance. A group of Gopher fans spotted the painted up boys faces and called them over. "Hey there little dudes" "What gives with the face paint" Mattie with Carter right next to him, turned and headed over to them. The boys parents were right behind them but gave them some distance but close enough to listen in. "So why the split scene" "Well you see, my brother Darren plays for Toronto Blues and the Minnesota Gophers are my favorite team" "I must support my brother but at the same time, support the Gophers" "They looked up at our parents" "So which one of you did this great face paint job" They all pointed their fingers at Mattie, even Carter did. "Do you mine us taking a picture with them" "Mom, dad" both Carter and I asked in unison. "Sure thing boys" "Go right ahead" Mary also took out her phone and snapped a couple of pictures as well. The group continued to walk through the crowd which took them longer then they thought. It was because, the boys were stopped every 10 or 20 feet to get their pictures taken with one group or another. Another group of Tailgaters that were definitely Toronto Blues fans also spotted the boys and they called them over. "That's a pretty cool face paint job you boys have but why do you have Toronto Blues, aren't you from Minnesota" Carter spoke up before Mattie had a chance to. "My boyfriend's brother plays for Toronto Blues" "And who might that be, may I ask" Mattie was speechless, he couldn't believe Carter just said that. Carter looked over at Mattie and smiled. "His name is Donald O'Brian" A roar went up, when the group of Toronto Blues fans discovered that Donald O'Brian's litte brother was standing right in front of them. Donald was the Blues top scorer and he was only a freshman. The group was composed of about 15 students. They had driven down from Toronto to support their team. They all gathered around the two young boys as Mary, Sue and several other people took pictures of them. Finally their group made it to the entrance of the arena. Bob gave his parties name to the man at the door. He checked the name against names on his clipboard and noted they were on the VIP list. Badges with lanyards were given to all that were in the group. The four adults were taken up to the VIP lounge as Carter and Mattie were taken to the visitors locker room. The boys entered and followed behind one of the Toronto Blues assistant coaches. Carter tapped Mattie on his shoulder when he spotted Donald sitting on the bench over in the corner tightening up his skates. Mattie really missed his big brother and ran over to him. The college players looked up in time to see 2 young boys with painted faces of whom one ran across the floor. As they heard him call out Donald's name and jumped into their teammates arms. "Hey buddy, how are you doing" Donald said as he caught Mattie in his arms. He stood up and bear hugged his little brother. The teams coach saw this and approached the two boys. "Whose this Donald" he asked already knowing the answer. "Coach, I'd like you to meet my little brother Mattie and his best friend Carter" "So this is the infamous Mattie you keep talking about" "Yes he is" "I understand you're turning 10 in a couple of days" "That's right" Mattie said. Mustering up all his courage Mattie spoke again. "Today is my boyfriend Carters birthday" "He just turned 10 today" "Well in that case, I guess we'll just have to make both of you our honorary stick boys for tonight's game" "You'll be behind the bench with us and go out with the coaches when our team is announced" "You'll also have to wear these Toronto Blues jerseys" "What's your last name Carter, so we can attach it to the back of your jersey as we have already done to Mattie's" "It's Spencer sir" "You heard him Thomas" "Put that name on the back of that Jersey pronto" "We have a game starting soon and we need our stick boys dressed and ready" "Yes sir" So he went to get it done and shortly returned with Carter's jersey with his name on the back of it. Both boys were super excited and put on their Toronto Blues jerseys that now had both of their names on them. They kept there other jerseys on under them. Everyone filed out of the locker room and went down a corridor to where they would step out onto the ice. The place was packed. This was a game between the two top teams in college. One from Canada and the other from the USA. The Toronto Blues had won the first of the two contests on Monday, 3 to 2 in double overtime. With the Blues top scorer Donald O'Brian getting the winning goal. 'Lady's and Gentlemen, entering the ice first is the only undefeated team left in all of the CCAA at 11 - 0 - 0, the Toronto Blues" Booing and some cheering could be heard around the arena. The team skated out and started warming up as the coaches followed behind them and went to the bench. Then Mattie and Carter stepped out. They looked up and we're in awe of all the people that were there. The camera panned over to the two boys just stepping out on to the ice. The announcer came on again. "Tonight's honorary hockey stick boys for the Toronto Blues are Mattie O'Brian who is the brother of Donald O'Brian for the Toronto Blues and his friend Carter Spencer" "Who I understand is one of the top tennis players in Minnesota for his age group" Cheers broke out. A note was just passed to him. "And as it turns out, the boys are botb turning 10" "Carter Spencer tonight and Mattie O'Brien in 2 days" The camera zoomed in and soon both boys faces were up on the the amatron. "Look at that face paint job" "They've got both teams" Some cheers were heard but then the crowd burst into loud cheers. "Now entering the ice, our own undefeated and first place team in the Big Ten, our own Minnesota Gophers" The crowd rose to a standing ovation as they cheered and applauded their team as they entered onto the ice and started warming up. The teams went to their benches. The two starting lines got set on the ice. Minnesota Gophers won the face off. The two teams went back and forth, firing goals on each net. At the end of 20 minutes Minnesota Gophers had 17 shots on goal, while the Toronto Blues only had 9 shots on goal. The score was 1-0 Gophers heading into the first intermission. Mattie and Carter handed out towels and water while the coach made adjustments. The teams returned to the ice for the start of the 2nd period. The next period the Gophers got 19 shots on goal. As the Toronto Blues just couldn't seem to get their offense going and only. They had only managed to get seven shots on goal. The Gophers had scored another goal and now led 2-0 going into the second intermission. The Toronto Blues head coach decided to switch up the lines. They took Darren O'Brian off the first line and put him on the third line so he will be matched up against what the coach hoped was a better match up. Mattie and Carter were helping out wherever they could. The team went back out for the 3rd period. Determined to get something going. It seemed to be the right move because within the first 30 seconds of the third period, the Toronto Blues Donald O'Brian scored. This cut the lead to one. And then 5 minutes later Donald O'Brien scored again, tying the score 2 - 2. Mattie and Carter were jumping up and down yelling their heads off. The amatron showed a zoomed in picture of the two boys cheering there team on. There face paint was still stellar. The silent crowd roared back to life as the Gophers picked up the pace and kept the puck mostly in the Blues side for just about the rest of the period. But even though they had over 14 shots on goal in the last part of the period, they weren't able to score. This contest looked like it was going into overtime as the clock was winding down. Then with less than 30 seconds left, Donald O'Brian had a breakaway. He intercepted a cross ice pass in his own end and didnt have anybody in front of him. It was just him and the Gophers goalie. He let his slapshot go but the goalie was able to deflect it. But Darren was able to get his own rebound and backhanded it pass the goalie into the goal just as he skated past the net, the horn sounded, ending the game. Toronto Blues 3 Minnesota Gophers 2 The Toronto Blues win. Hats were being thrown out onto the ice. There were many scattered about all over the ice. All the players rushed onto the ice to congratulate Donald on his winning goal and hat trick. Even Mattie and Carter ran out to cheer him on. But not having slates, the boys fell on their diapered butts. That didn't deter them any, as they got back up and joined in on the celebration. It was because of Donald and the coach moving him, that allowed them to come from behind, down 2 goals, to win in the final period to take the victory. Mattie and Carter had been cheering and rooting on the team, all game long. The players hoisted the boys onto there shoulders and skated them around the ice arena. The two teams got into lines on opposite sides and as was traditional and shook hands. Mattie and Carter were in line in front of Donald and the goalie. They received a fist bump from every Gopher on the team including the coaches. Back in the locker room, the coach said a few things to his team. The game puck was given to Donald. As well as 2 other pucks that Donald had signed and given to Mattie and Carter with the games score on it. "You make sure that you two hold on to those pucks, your brother is going to be famous one day" the teams captain said. Everyone started to get undress and hit the showers. Dale and Bob came down and met the coaches and to congratulate Donald and the team. They collected Mattie and Carter who could barely talk from all the yelling and cheering they had done. Donald would be going back with the team but would be stopping by in the morning to say goodbye before they flew back at noon. Everyone piled in to the Denali and by the time they arrived back to Dale and Sues, Carter and Mattie were fast asleep. The ladies went inside while Bob and Dale each carried one of the boys inside. They took them right up to Carters bedroom. They laid them down side by side and removed all there clothes. After checking both diapers, they were in desperate need of a diaper change. Bob started cleaning the boys up while Dale went to get each of them, a nice thick, absorbent and soft nighttime diaper. They even added a doubler for extra absorbance and comfort. Cause as a birthday gift, neither boy would be going to school tomorrow. Bob and Dale had just finished up when Mary and Sue came in. They watched their sons sleeping as they snuggled into each other. Carter had his arms around Mattie. While Mar hettie had his head resting on Carters chest with his hand holding Carters arm. Sue and Mary couldn't pass up the opportunity. They each took a few pictures of them with their phones. The group quietly slipped out and let their sons sleep. They went downstairs to have some cheese and wine and catch up on everything going on. -------------------- "This should be good enough" "No one will see him over here" Carl was taken out on the back of the pickup truck and laid down behind a pile of construction debris. As they drove away, they tossed Carl's clothes out the window. "Hey, Cindy said to throw them out someplace else" "Don't be such a wimp" he said to his twin brother as they pulled out of the Quarry. ---------------------- Carl woke up, not knowing where he was at. His right wrist hurt and so did his chest. He felt around himself, looking for his phone but couldn't find it. At least he wasn't tied up now. The Quarry was where kids would go to party and blow off steam. Tonight was no different. A group of junior's and seniors from the high school tennis team had come there to do just that thing. They were collecting wood for a fire and headed over to where the construction debris piles were at. Carl had somehow managed to get to his feet and make it out from behind the pile of debris. It was just getting dark, so it was around 8pm. Carl knew his mom would start to worry about where he was at. Carl was stumbling around on an overgrown path he had found. He was making slow progress but didn't realize that he was heading further away from the entrance and towards the dangerous steep side of the Quarrys edge. ----------------- "Connor, can you please come down here" "Yes mommy" "What's up" "Do you know where your brother is at" "Yes, he went over some girls house after school named Cindy" "But he said that he would be home by 6" "Well it's half past 8 now" "Do you know her last name" "No, only that she goes to our school" "I think she's a red" "What would Carl be hanging around with a red for" "I don't know mommy" "Did you try and call him" "Of course I did" "Left him 5 messages already" "Honey, I'm home" "In here" "How's everyone doing" "Carl's not home" "I've called and left 5 messages with no reply" "Connor said he went over some red class girls house after school named Cindy" "Alright Carl" "Maybe we will get grandchildren after all" "Don't worry so much" "Let him have some fun" "He's only 10" "It's 2 hours past his curfew" "If you had babied Connor here so much, he might not have become a puff" "Paul, what's gotten into you lately" "It's okay sweetie, go call all your friends and see if any of them know where your brother is" "Yes mommy" "And you, if you're not going to be apart of the solution, then you need to leave" "Fine, I'll be over my brothers house" "Carl's probably just making out and lost track of time" "Connor, you could learn a few things from your older brother" Father leaves. "Mommy, what's wrong with daddy" "I thought he was okay with me liking boys" "I don't know sweetie but don't worry about it" "I love you no matter what" "Now go make those calls" Connor ran off to his room to make those calls. He was worried about his brother and frightened about what his dad had said about and to him. ------------- "Hey guys, check this out" " "Dude, where those clothes come from" "I don't know but there's a wallet in the pocket" "Carl Davis" "Fifth grader" "Hey, I know that name" "He plays on the 12 and under tennis team" "That's right" "CARL" he shouted aloud. "Come on guys, we need to search for our teammate" "Call your dad, Steve" "He needs know" Ringing "Sheriff's office, deputy Paige speaking" "Dad, it's Steve" "What's up son" "Mark found a pile of clothes" "When he checked the pockets, he found a wallet inside" "It belongs Carl Davis" "Hes on our 12 and under tennis squad" "He's in the 5th grade" "Where are you at son" "Don't get mad dad but I'm at the Quarry with my buddies" "I'm not mad, I trust you" "Don't disturb the area" "Treat it like a crime scene" "Mark has some flashlights" "He's going to start looking for him" "No Steve" "Tell Mark not to distrub anything" "We need the boys scent intact for the dogs that I'm calling in to help search" "Okay dad, please hurry" ----------------- Carl didn't know that just 300 feet in the other direction, stood several members of there high schools junior and senior tennis team. Carl through all his pain had somehow managed to have gone over a half a mile but in the wrong direction. Extremely sore and tired, he stumbled and tripped over a log at the edge of a steep hill. He went tumbling down the side and ended up on a small outcrop. The intense pain that this fall caused him to endure, made him pass out once again. --------------' Ring ring ring "Who could be calling at this hour" "Hello" "Umm, is Carl over there by chance" "No, he's not here" "Can I ask whose asking" "HI Mr O'Brian, it's me Connor" "Carl hasn't gotten home yet from visiting that girl Cindy" "Can you put your mother on please" "Okay, she's downstairs" "Dale, go upstairs and wake the boys" "There friend Carl is missing and I need to ask them something" "Hello, how can I help you" "Lisa, it's Bob O'Brian" "Hold on a moment" "Carter and Mattie may be able to help" "What's up" two sleepy boys asked. "Boys, I don't want you to panic but Carl is missing" "He never came back from some girl named Cindy's house" "Do you know her last name by chance" "Dither, Cindy Dither" "It's all my fault" "If I hadn't suggested he go talk to her, he'd be home already" "It's my fault also" Mattie said. "If I hadn't of pushed Carl into convincing him to go try, he'd be home" "It's neither one of yours fault" "You both were being good friends by encouraging and being supportive" Carter and Mattie went back upstairs and got dressed. They came back downstairs and grabbed there backpacks. "Where do you two think your going" "Over to Carl's house" "I know that you're both worried about your friend but it's late and dark outside" "There's nothing you two can do tonight" "But I promise that as soon as its morning, you both can ride over to Carl's" Both boys smiled and hugged Sue. They turned on there heels and went back upstairs to bed. "Bob, are you and Dale going to go help" "Yes, we're leaving now" "We're going to take my truck" "First thing tomorrow morning, have the boys give me a call" "Okay" Upstairs, Carter and Mattie had been eavesdropping in on the conversation. "Come, grab your backpack" Mattie followed Carter down the back stairwell to the back of the house. They quietly opened the garage door and went inside. Carter grabbed each of them a flashlight. The boys then walked back outside and around the garage to the front driveway and climbed into the back of the truck. They heard the front door open and then their dad's voices. Hurriedly, they pulled the tarp in the back of the truck over the top of them. They heard there dads talking getting closer. "I talked to Deputy Paige while you were upstairs changing" "He said that his son Steve called him about an hour ago" "His friend Mark found a shirt and a pair of pants with Carl's wallet in it" "Where at" "The same place Mattie had his accident at, the Quarry" "Well, what are we still doing here" "Lets go help find Carl" "Or our sons won't ever forgive us. ---------------- Well everyone, I know it's been a really really long long time since I've written but my life was turned upside down when I lost my meme. She was 86 and a half years young. The whole community came out for her funeral and we had a week long celebration of life gathering afterwards. Meme and papa had been together for over 42 years. I never knew this but meme married papa when he was only 16 and she was 44. I've learned a lot of things that I had no idea about. Meme may be gone but she will never be forgotten. We buried her on our families property next to her parents. I visit her a lot. Sit and talk to her about my problems. The strange thing is, that when I wake up in the morning, all my problems are taken care of. I go see a doctor now that I just talk to about my feelings. If it wasn't for my boyfriend Timmi, I'm not sure how I would have gotten though all of this. I've already started on the next chapter and will be pushing them out regularly now. Merci beaucoup
