Chapter 8
We asked each other about how he and Mum met, when did Billy come into the frame, what happened when he left or should I say forced to leave, he said he would explain everything in time, we arrived in the second level of the carpark and spotted a blond kid, playing on his Ipad, he looked up as his dad approached.
"Hey dad, who's this" he asked stepping out from the car. "Leo, this is Martin, and we have a lot to talk about" Terry added. "Dad is this Sally's son?" he asked, "What do you know about Sally?" I asked, "Oh when Mum pissed off with the Milkman, it's all he would talk about" Leo replied.
"Yeah, she was my Mum" I answered his question, "Was?" he shot back, "Yeah she died when I was very young" I replied.
"Oh, sorry" he added,
"So Leo, what do you wanna know" I asked, "Oh that's simple, are you my brother?" he asked, and Terry looked stunned at Leo's frankness, "Leo as I said we need to talk" Terry interrupted
"Yes!" I interrupted in return, looking at both Leo and Terry.
"Cool, I have always wanted an older brother" he said with a smile.
"Why did you ask that question" I asked, "And he shot a golden smile and replied, "I have some old photos of dad, and well...you look a lot alike" he replied, and I for one could not contradict his logic or observations.
"Terry tells me that you are gay" I informed him, "Shit dad, why would you tell him that" he spat out. "Calm down slugger, I laughed out. "He told me because I told him I was" I replied. "What you are gay" he asked, "Yeah, and Terry thought it would be a good idea if we talked, do you have a problem with talking to me" I asked, looking intently for his response. "Suppose not, but can we get to know each other first" he asked.
"Yeah Leo, we can do that" I replied
"Okay what are your likes and dislikes" I asked, after Terry vanished for a cigarette, "Besides Guys" Leo laughed out, "Oh I can see we are going to get on, and be hand full all at the same time" I replied.
"Well I like watching football, clubbing...not" he started, "Ermmm I like to run, I love to go orienteering, that's where I met Jordan..I like" I cut him off, "Ehh Jordan?" I asked, "Yeah we sort have been dating, I would like you to meet him Martin" he replied, "I would like that, but now I want you to meet Pete" I responded, ruffling the hair of my newly acquired brother.
They met back up with Terry and headed back to Peter's room.
"Hey!" I said walking back into Pete's room, "said I wouldn't be long" I added leaning down and kissing his lips. "Missed you, and who is this" Pete asked looking at a younger version of myself "Well where do I begin" I started, "He's looks like you did, at that age" Peter replied. "So he's your brother, yes?" he asked, and I smiled and nodded. "Just found out, babe,...this is Leo, and you have met Terry" I added,
"What happened to you" Leo asked, "I will explain later Leo" I butted in, and Peter smiled at my rescue.
"Treated still like a kid" Leo moaned out, "Yep definitely your brother" smirked Peter. "Okay Leo I was attacked" Peter started, "Because you are gay?" asked Leo, and Peter startled and looked at me asking with his eyes.
"No, because my guardian didn't like the idea of me being gay, and Peter was caught up in his warped idea of sorting me out" I replied holding Pete's hand, and bringing it to my lips. "But he is locked up, and hopefully for a very long time" I added
"You two look good together" Leo responded.
"Yeah I know, and hopefully will be for some time to come" Peter replied, and I smiled and brought his hand back to my lips.
"So Jordan?" I asked again, hoping I embarrassed the little sod, "Jordan?" Peter replied.
"Leo has a boyfriend" I replied, and Terry smiled as he knew I was ribbing him, like an older brother is supposed to do.
"Ohh, you mean...oh well okay...so spill...little man" Peter applied his own brand of brotherly ribbing, and Leo turning a certain shade of red that I knew all too well.
"Okay so it's gang up on Leo day...is it" he pouted out and we bust out in fits of laughter as Leo was getting more uncomfortable as we went.
"Sorry Leo I couldn't help myself" I apologised.
Over the next few hours we talked about my Mum, and how Terry and her first met in Richmond, she was a wiry tom boy, climbing trees, hitting boys with snowballs in winter, she was for the most part his best friend, that developed into more, but the Billy Lake came into the picture and hell in a hen basket does not cover that period.
Terry says he had two regrets in life, one leaving without sorting things out with my Mum, and for that part, Mum kept quiet I believe to keep Terry from being more seriously hurt, and I think Mum saved his life, His second regret was not knowing about me, and I mean me being his and not Lake's and that is the one regret we both share.
Just as we were about to talk about what we were going to do from this point, we had been informed that Peter could go home, he was still a bit sore, but with care at home, for which I would provide, he could leave when he was able.
"Right now" he responded. "You sure babe" I looked at him with a tad bit of concern, "Marty just get me out of here, I have seen enough of this place to last a lifetime" he added.
"Okay, I will let your Mum know that you are coming home with me" I added, "Where will that be" he asked, "Peter the house is mine and I am going to use it while you get better, and then I am selling it!" I added.
"And what if Billy gets bail" he asked, "I can assure you babe he won't, he is looking at murder and two accounts of attempted murder" I said squeezing his hand.
"He has friends, he can still get at you" Peter said with concern, "I doubt it, the police are watching for known associates, and I think they have scarpered" I said trying to reassure him, but not even convincing myself.
Three hours later we were sat in my living room, talking about what we could do with the money, when all was said and done, we would leave Sheffield and move North, to Sunderland or Newcastle, I wanted to go to university up there to begin with, but Billy's paranoia wouldn't let me out of his sight.
"I forgot how big this house is" responded, Terry as he drank his coffee, "was my grandparents" I replied. "Yes Martin I know" Terry laughed out.
Peter lay on the large overstuffed sofa, dozing off and on, Terry asked if it would be okay if he and Leo stopped the night, and Leo looked up from his phone that he had been texting on for over an hour, why he couldn't ring this Jordan instead of texting I couldn't fathom out.
"No need to ask, you can use Mum's room, Billy never used it after she died" I replied. "Thank you" Terry responded, "And you little bro, can use the small guest room, and perhaps ring Jordan instead of texting" I teased again, and Leo just smiled.
Wow, I still cannot get over the fact I have a brother!! And a dad, that is not Billy Lake!!
Terry and Leo vanished upstairs, I told them what direction to go to find their beds for the night and to sleep well, when they went I got down on my knees in front of my sleeping partner, just watching him sleep, his face still had reminders of passed deeds, but his beauty was still there, his lips slightly swollen the black eye almost gone.
"Hi, what's up" Peter asked in a groggy voice. "Nothing, I just like watching you sleep" I replied. "Creepy much" he replied, with a smile that I had missed, fuck did I miss Peter when my dad, oh yeah right...Billy forced his family to leave...that smile wow, I leaned over and our lips met. "Missed you so much" Peter informed me. I leaned back into him showing him just how much I had missed him.
"Ow, fuck, shit" he screamed, holding his side.
"Shit Peter, I am sorry, fuck are you okay" I yelled panicking wondering if I had seriously hurt him, "Yeah I am fine, just,... that hurt" he replied, trying to sit up. "Marty I want you so bad right now, but fuck...we need to be careful for a while" he said softly. "I cupped his cheek, Peter just tell me what you need, and want and you will have it" I replied.
"Marty I have all I need when you are with me" he responded, with a tear sliding down his face, "Soppy sod" I responded kissing away the tear. "I love you Peter, I would have died if he managed to kill you" I wept out, the emotions of the past few weeks now coming to the surface from the both of us.
"Want to go to bed?, it's late and your Mum is coming over in the morning" I added, "Yeah give me a hand up" he asked, and I lifted him from his sofa, and we climbed the steps rather gingerly laughing at some of the stupidest things. "Feels like an old married couple, helping up his old aged partner to bed" Peter added.
"Looking forward to that era of our lives babe, looking forward to our life period" I responded.
We walked along the passage way and heard giggles from the guest room, obvious that Leo was talking to his boyfriend, happy he was not as restricted as myself and Peter had been, yeah prejudice still existed bigotry will live on, especially with the Billy Lakes of the world. But slowly society is becoming more general with their thoughts on same sex relationships, I mean look at parliament there are more openly gay men and women in the British government now than any time in history, that has to be a positive...right?.
I got Peter changed, when I mean changed I mean naked, and we just lay in bed, he snuggled into me, as he knew how to lay down without causing himself discomfort.
The clock on my bedside table showed 23:34pm when the phone rang.
"Hello" I said
"Martin Lake please" the voice replied
"Speaking"
"Martin, it's detective Swan, I have some bad news, Your Father was involved in an incident while on remand, and sorry Martin but your father was stabbed, and I am afraid he didn't make it, I was going to come over with a second officer and tell you in person, but the detective in charge of your fathers case said you would want to know as soon as..." he added.
"Billy is dead" I asked, "Yes Martin, are you okay, is someone with you, is there anyone you need me to call?" he asked.
"No thank you detective, thank you for letting me know" I replied, numb, I felt bad for the man who had raised me, but for the man he was...well more relief than anything...this was now over, my sleeping lover beside me was all the life I needed, I found my real dad, and hope to build a relationship with him, as well as my brother...fuck...I still can't get over the fact I have a brother, I still want to get away from Sheffield to many bad memories, build some new ones.
To be continued...
Hope you still like my little drama romance 1 chapter left to write, comments as usual at davidspowart3@hotmail.com
P.S, some people liked my Halloween story, so I am considering merging this story to that one, as Martin and Peter relocate to Newcastle, and the Halloween story was based there...Thoughts?
And if positive response to the idea, it will be a new storyline, and a title will be created
