Mom steps away to call the ambulance and I sit next to himon the bench.
"What happened?" I ask him.
"My parents went through my laptop and found emails and picturesfrom a guy I have been talking to. They sat me down and confronted me about it.My dad didn't even let me say anything before he started beating my ass."
"What did your mom do?" Kate asks.
"She told me if she knew I was a fag they wouldn't even haveadopted me."
"I'm sorry Todd."
The E.M.T's show up, followed by the police. After we talkto them they go to Todd's house to find his dad. Todd is loaded up in the ambulanceand they drive off with us right behind them.
We get to the hospital and Todd is taken back so they canwork on him. We sit in the waiting room.
"I'm going to go call your dad and tell him what's going on."Mom tells me.
I start to think about how lucky I am when itcomes to my coming out experience. Not one of my family members said anythingbad or hurtful to me. Of course, there were whispers from people at school, butno one ever said anything to me.
"Hey, are you ok?" Kate asks.
"Yeah, I just... I've heard about shit like this, butit never happened to someone I know. I can't imagine what's going on his head rightnow."
"I know what you mean. I would be a mess."
Mom comes back and sits with us. After a while TravisTodd's younger brother comes in the door with a police officer. He has a bustedlip.
"Where is he?" He asks.
"He's with the doctors now." Mom says.
"Come with me son, let's get some answers." The officersays.
"Ok."
They go to the front desk and talk to the woman.When they come back they have the latest news.
"He has a concussion and a broken nose. His handis broken and he has some bruised ribs. They took him upstairs to get a CAT scanto check for bleeding and swelling. When he's done, we can see him."
"Oh my god." Kate says, shocked.
"What happened to your parents?" I ask him.
"They arrested dad but they can't find mom she left beforethe cops showed up." He answers.
"Travis you can see your brother now." A nurse says.
"My mom's outside I should get going." Kate says.
"Ok, thanks for coming."
"I'll walk you out." The officer says.
She gives Travis a hug and leaves. Mom, Travis and I go upto Todd's room. He's propped up with a few pillows, his hand is in a blue cast,and there are bandages on his head. Travis runs over to him and puts his head onhis chest and starts to cry.
"I'm ok."
"No you're not. Look what he did to you!"
"The doctors didn't find anything on my scan. I'mgoing to be fine. I just have to stay overnight so they can keep an eye on me."
"Then what? We don't have anywhere to go."
"Yes, you do. You're going to come home with us."Mom says.
"We can't do that to you guys." Todd says.
"Yes, you can it's already settled."
"Thank you, Mrs. Walters."
There's a knock on the door and it's a police officer.
"Todd, Travis I just wanted to let you know we foundyour mother and we arrested her for endangering the welfare of a minor and creditcard theft."
"What do you mean?" Todd asks.
"We found her attempting to take money out ofyour bank account."
"Did she get any?"
"No, she didn't. Here are your wallet and yourcar keys." He hands a plastic bag to Todd.
"Thank you, sir."
"One last thing, do you have a place to stay?"
"They are going to stay with me and my family."Mom says.
"That would be fine. If you boys need anythingat all just call this number. Ask for Officer Wells."
He writes a number on a piece of paper and handsit to Travis.
"Thank you, sir."
"I'm going to need to get your information."Officer Wells tells mom.
"Of course." They both leave the room.
"Travis can you get me a drink of water please?"Todd asks.
"Sure."
Travis goes to find water and I sit in the chairnext to the bed.
"I'm scared man. If my parents could dothis to me what's going to happen when other people find out? Zach is nevergoing to talk to me again if he is anything like his mother."
"Todd everything is going to be fine. Not everyone hates gays,it's just the ones that do are more vocal about it sometimes. Plus, I don'tthink you have to worry about Zach."
"How do you know?"
"Trust me, I know."
Travis and mom come back in the room and Travis handsTodd his water.
"It's time to get going. We'll come back as soon as wecan tomorrow." Mom says.
"Listen to what Mr. and Mrs. Walters tell you. I loveyou."
"I love you too."
"Thank you, Mrs. Walters." Todd says.
"Don't mention it sweetie."
By the time we get home it's almost three in the morning.Dad is waiting for us.
"How is he?" He asks.
"He is going to be ok. They didn't find any bleeding orswelling in the brain" Mom says.
"That's good."
"I'm going to get the spare room ready for you so you canget some rest." Mom tells Travis.
"Thank you."
"Would you like something to eat?" Dad asks.
"Yes, please."
"I can make some sandwiches."
"That's fine."
"I'm going to go get you some clothes to wear."
I go down to my room and Zach and Ned are asleep on mybed. I quietly get a few changes of clothes for Travis and give them to mom whoputs them on his bed. We head back to the kitchen.
"The bed is all set. We'll do something about the boxesand things tomorrow." Mom says.
"Ok, thank you."
"Goodnight Travis." Dad says.
"Goodnight Mr. Walters."
We take our sandwiches and go to our rooms. Zach is awakeand sitting on the bed. I put my food down and give him a big hug.
"What's wrong?" He asks.
"You don't know?"
"No, I thought you just left to bring Kate home."
"Todd's dad beat the shit out of him because he's gay."
"Oh my God, is he ok?"
"He's pretty messed up but he's going to be ok. He'sworried that you're never going to talk to him again."
"I'll tell him about us when he gets out. Where is hegoing to stay?"
"Here, Travis is in the guest room next door now."
He goes to leave the room, but I stop him.
"Let him eat and go to sleep. He looked really tired."
"Ok."
I eat half of the sandwich and give Zach the other. AfterI brush my teeth and wash my face I crawl into bed.

I wake up alone in bed and its 10:30. There is a stickynote from Zach saying he went on a run. After a stop at the bathroom, I go tothe kitchen. Mom, dad, Benny and Laura are at the table. Mom calls everyone tothe kitchen for a family meeting.
"A friend of Bens and his brother are going through atough time and they are going to stay be staying with us." Dad starts.
"We are going to have to cancel the trip to Miami." Momsays.
"There're going to be more trips." Marlon says.
"Yeah, we don't mind." Alyssa and Jen agree.
"When Travis wakes up I'm going to take him to thehospital and see Todd."
"We have to figure out where they're going to sleep. Theguest room isn't big enough for the two of them." Mom says.
"Why don't I move my things out to the pool house?"Marlon suggests.
Last year we had a small pool house with a pull outcouch, a small kitchen and a bathroom so we don't track water in the house.
"Are you sure you want to do that?" Dad asks.
"Yeah, it's only for a week until I move back to Vegasfor school. Then it's only for holidays and when I come back to visit."
"He does have a good point. He's going to have his ownplace in Vegas." Benny points out.
"Ok then its settled. Marlon moves to the pool house andTodd gets his room. Travis can have the guest room." Mom says.
"Ben, can you go see if Travis is awake. He might want toeat something before he goes to see Todd."
"Ok."
I go to the guest room and knock on the door.
"Come in."
I open the door and he is just waking up.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" I ask him.
"My head is killing me."
"There's some aspirin in the bathroom. When you're readydad is going to bring you to the hospital to see Todd."
"Cool, I'm going to take a quick shower and I'll beready."
"Ok."
When Travis is ready, he and dad leave. Marlon gets towork on moving his things to the pool house and Benny and I start to get theboxes out of Travis's room. We move the boxes in the garage and vacuum and dust.Zach comes over just in time to move the furniture around to make room for adesk later on. I add a beanbag chair and an area rug next to the bookcase andwe're done.
Liam comes down the stairs with something in his hands.
"What's that?" I ask.
He hands it to me two pieces of paper with Travis paintedon one and Todd on the other.
I get some tape and put them on the doors.
"There now we're done." I say.
"I think we deserve some ice cream." Benny says.
"Yeah." Liam agrees.
We go upstairs and mom is getting off the phone with dad.
"Ok we'll see you then." She hangs up.
"What did he say?" I ask her.
"They are going to release Todd this afternoon. They didanother scan and it checked out fine. Your dad also talked to the lawyer andTravis and Todd are going to be able to get their stuff from their house."
"That's great." Marlon says.
"Yeah, if they paid for it, they can keep it. I'll takethem shopping for whatever they aren't able to keep."
"I'm all done moving my stuff." Marlon says coming in theroom.
"That's good Todd's getting out today." Mom says.
"I even got a head start on packing."
"Even better now I won't have to do it for you."
"I had an idea of who Todd could talk to when he gets outof the hospital." Marlon says.
"Who?" Zach asks.
"Ian he went through something similar when he was Todd'sage."
When Ian was 17 he was attacked in a parking lot by Masonand Jackson's mom's new boyfriend. He didn't like the fact that Ian is gay andgot custody of the boys.
"That's a good idea. When Ian gets back from Las VegasI'll talk to him." Mom says.
Zach and I go to my room and I text Kate and tell her thelatest. Zach puts on a movie and we get on my bed. He puts his arm around me and starts to rubmy back.
"Mmm." I nuzzle myface in his neck. He smells like the cologne I got him.
"Did you just sniff me?" He asks
"I can't help it you smell good." I stick my face in hisneck and start sniffing.
"Stop, that tickles." He laughs.
"Fine."
"Can I ask you a question? You don't have to answer ifit's too personal."
"Ok."
"Is that where the scar on Ian's neck came from? He gotattacked?"
I don't know if I should tell him he might be even morescared about coming out. To be honest, I don't really notice the scar.
"Yeah, when the boys were a few months old their momsboyfriend didn't like that they didn't get to keep the boys so he tried toscare Ian off. He thought if Ian is gay the boys would grow up to be messed upor something."
"Wow, it sucks that people think like that."
"Yeah, it does. He got sentenced to 40 years for it."
"Good."
We lie in bed and watch a few movies until mom calls usupstairs.
"They should be here any minute. When they were waitingfor Todd they went to pick up their things. They might need some help gettingstuff in."
"Ok mom."
They pull in the driveway and we go out. The door opensand out comes a St Bernard
"Whoa!" Liam exclaims.
The large dog comes over to Liam and starts to lick hisface all over.
"Hey!"
"Honey, who is this?" Mom asks dad.
"That's Rufus, Travis's puppy." Dad says.
"Puppy? He's huge."
"Yeah, he's only eight months." Dad says.
"He's really nice Mrs. Walters and he's trained to gooutside." Travis says.
"That's good to know. Let's get your things inside andput away."
I can tell mom is freaking out on the inside. She doesn'tlike messes in the house and we had to beg her to get Ned. The first time hepeed on the living room rug I thought she was going to have a heart attack.
We get everything inside and Todd settled in his room.
"How do you like it?" Mom asks.
He looks around the room and bursts into tears. Mom sitsnext to him on the bed.
"Boys give us some time with Todd and Travis please." Dadsays.
"Ok."
Zach and I go upstairs. Liam Ned and Rufus are runningaround the house playing.
"Come on guys let's take it outside so nothing getsbroken." I say.
We go outside and they take off running.
"I guess Ned has a new friend." I say.
"It looks like it."
I get an old soccer ball from the garage and toss it tothem and they start to play.
"This is awesome!" Liam yells.
After a half an hour of playing with the dog's dad comesout to get us.
"Come on guys let's get dinner started. Ben, Zach, Ithink Todd would like to talk to you."
We go inside and Zach and I go down to Todd's room. He'slying in bed and the swelling on his face has gone down.
"Hey man, how are you feeling?" Zach asks.
"They have me on the good stuff so I don't feel a thing."
"That's good. What's the latest with your parents?" Iask,
"They have court on Monday and we'll see how it goes. Ialready know I'm not going back. They have to figure out what to do withTravis. Your parents are going to try to get it so he can stay here."
"I don't think they are going to make him go back to thatplace."
"I hope not."
"Todd I have something to tell you." Zach starts.
"What?"
"I'm gay too, and Ben is my boyfriend."
Hearing Zach say it out loud makes my stomach jump alittle.
"What? Since when?" Todd asks.
"We hooked up the last day of school."
"Damn."
"What?" Zach asks.
"You just crushed every gay guys dream by hooking up withhis straight friend. To top it off you're dating the only guy at the schoolworth talking to."
"Really?"
Not only is the hottest guy in my grade is my boyfriendnow his hot best friend thinks I'm cute too. Todd is kind of hot. He's Zach'sheight a little leaner than him with dark skin, He has box braids that almosthit his shoulders.
"He's totally thinking about it." Zach says.
"Shut up." I can feel my face getting red. "I'm just messing with you." He leans over and gives me akiss.
"You guys make a good couple."
"Thanks." I say.
"Does your family know Zach?"
"My dad, sister and uncle do. I haven't told my mom yetshe has been out of town with my aunt."
"At least I have some friends that won't turn on me."
Hearing him say that breaks my heart a little.
"There has to be friends that don't care if you're gay."I tell him.
"Plus, you still have that guy you have been talking to.What's his name?"
"His name is Derek he lives one town over. He's really nice,but I don't think it's going to go anywhere."
"You never know." Zach says.
"We'll let you get some rest. We're glad you're ok. I'llbring you some food when it's ready."
"Thanks Ben. Your family is really nice for letting usstay here, especially with us bringing Rufus."
"Don't mention it. Liam, Ned and Rufus are alreadyinseparable."
"I'm glad they get along."
"We'll see you in a little while."
Zach and I go to my room. I shut the door and Zach grabsme and gives me a big kiss.
"What was that for?" I ask.
"What Todd said got me a little fired up." He points downto his jeans.
"What about it?"
"Knowing someone else thinks your boyfriend's hot." Hereaches behind me and grabs my ass. "Are you sure it's not because he said he thought abouthooking up with you?"
"Well, kind of."His face gets red.
"I think it would be hot to see you two messing around."
I reach down and start to rub the bulge in his pants.
"Really?"
"Two of the hottest guys in school having sex, justthinking about it is getting me hard."
"Let's fix that." He says.
We strip out of our clothes and I lay on the bed. He startsto lick and nibble on my thighs and moves his way up to my balls. He takes themin his mouth and when they're nice and wet he licks up my shaft giving me goosebumps.
"Oh." I shudder.
He takes the head between his lips and teases it with histongue, then takes me half way down. He grips the base and starts to jerk meoff focusing on the top and the head. I love it when he does this. He isgetting more confident with his head skills and its showing.
"Fuck that feels good, keep doing that."
"Mmm-mm" he moans.
He does the same thing for a good 10 minutes, then hechanges it up a little. He starts to tug and play with my balls. I put my handson his head and start to pump my hips.
"I'm coming." I warn.
I start to shoot, he tries to swallow it all but he's notfast enough. He pulls off and cum hits his chin and his lips. When I'm doneshooting he licks the cum off my dick.
"Your turn." I say.
I get off the bed and on my knees. He stands in front ofme and I take his dick in my hand. I trace my lips with the tip, leaving a coatof pre cum. I open my mouth and take him all the way down my throat.
"Oh fuck! That gets me every time." He says.
I start to suck as best as I can taking him all the wayeach time. With my right hand, I reach up and start to play with his nipple andstart to roll his balls around to my left. I look up and he has that look onhis face. His eyes are half shut and he's licking his lips. I can tell he'sabout to cum.
"I'm coming baby, fuck."
He pulls out of my mouth and shoots his load all over myface.
"Yeah, give that load."
He puts his hands on my shoulders to brace himself. Itake him back in my mouth and clean him up.
"Boys dinner is ready." Dad says, knocking on the door.
"Ok dad, we'll be right there."
Zach helps me to my feet and kisses me on the lips. Afterwe get cleaned up we go upstairs. Mom is on the couch doing some work on herlaptop and Rufus has his head on her lap snoring. I couldn't help but laugh.
"Let's see if you think it's funny when I let him in yourroom when you're sleeping." She says.
"Come on Rufus let's see if you have to go to thebathroom." Travis says.
"I'll take Ned." Marlon says.
They take the dogs outside and Liam and I set the table.Dad made tacos for dinner with homemade salsa and guacamole.
"I'll take Todd his dinner." Liam volunteers.
"That's a nice buddy, but we want there to be food lefton the plate when you get down there." Dad jokes.
"You can help make his plate and come with me when Ibring it down." I say.
"Ok."
We make Todd three tacos and bring them down to him.
"Don't forget to knock." Liam says.
"Ok." I knock on the door.
"Come in." Todd says.
"Dinners ready Todd." Liam announces walking in the room.
"Wow, thanks guys. It looks great."
"Travis is walking Rufus, he'll be down when he comesback." I say.
"Ok."
We talk with Todd for a few minutes, then go up to eatdinner. After we eat Zach goes home. We spend the rest of the night relaxing. Idecide to call it an early night and go to sleep at 9:00.
