Gay

Legal stuff, you know the deal. If you're under 18 don't read even though I haven't added any sex into this. But it does deal with homosexual relationships. I'm also not saying the Kevin Richardson is homosexual granted myself and a lot of other guys wouldn't mind if he is. He isn't so him loss you know.

M man relax check ya email, everything will be okay. You got 2 shoulders here when you need them okay. Remember that man, I be here for you man so'k good. Now on with the story and I'll see you all when I have the next chapter written.

Fear of the written word Chapter two

"Yo.. yo.. you're a what?" screams Kevin standing up out of the booth and walking away. The next thing that was heard was the dull slapping of human skin and bone being hit into something. As AJ and Michelle looked back at me, they see that my head was down on the table and I was showing the first signs of tears and crying. Michelle takes my hand and squeezes it.

"Why, why, can someone please tell me why? You know, I just met him so what he is a international pop star. So what in that short 30 seconds that I have know him I would kill for him. God Michelle, what's that matter with me? Why, am I always so over emotional?" I say looking up at her. Then I realize that it wasn't Michelle that was holding my hand, it was AJ. I had figured he ran off with Kevin. "Oh god it wasn't a dream!" I say slamming my head back down on the table to cry this time.

"AJ go handle Kevin." Asks Michelle.

"Nope he can get home himself. I don't want to deal with him right now." He says shaking his head. I'm still wailing on the table rocking back and forth. By now people are looking at our table and myself. "I think we need to make a strategic retreat, if I do say so myself. And I do." He says looking at Michelle and smiling.

"Here let me get this side of him, can you get the other?"

"Yeah I got him. How did you guys get here?"

"His car!"

"Do you have the keys?"

"Nope their in his pocket." She replies reaching into my front pocket. "Oops that's not them."

"Please tell me you just didn't do what I think you did."

"Okay I won't."

"Will you marry me?"

"WHAT?"

"I'm playing, I'm just playing."

"Oh," replies Michelle holding me up as the three of us walk out of the club, "Um AJ?"

"Yes."

"Do you need a ride back to where ever you all are staying?"

"Well me and Kevin are the only ones here right now. The rest of the guys aren't going to be up here for another week." He replies as they get to my car and he sets me against it.

"Hey. sob' ...hey how... sob' ...did I get.... `sob' ...out here?" I say looking around and seeing that we're back at my car. I look up and see AJ staring back at me. He had a look of shame and despair in his eyes. "It wasn't your fault AJ, you didn't know I was a reporter. I guess I destroyed your evening. I'm sorry, now I see why I don't go out." I say walking over to the drivers side of the car and I start fishing for my keys. "FUCK" I scream banging my fist on the roof of the car.

"What , what?" says Michelle running up to me.

"I lost my car keys, we'll have to call a cab." I say sobbing again.

"No you didn't lose them," she replies, I stand up straight and look at the keys she is hold in front of my nose. Can we say I feel like killing her, on top of everything that has happened to me this night she takes my keys, "Dave you are no condition to drive tonight. So I'm going to drive AJ back to where ever he wants to go then, I will then drive us over to your place and we both are going to crash there for the night. Is that okay with you AJ." She asks looking over at him.

"Um well, can I stay with you guys tonight, I really don't want to be around Kevin," at the mention of his name I start to ball again, "Um David I'm sorry, maybe I shouldn't. We've already have caused enough problems for you two. I better be going, Nice to meet you Michelle, you too David." He says walking away. I look up as he is walking away.

"AJ wait." I call after him, AJ turns around and looks at us, there is something just about the way he looks or is it his emotions, I felt that I could trust him, yet I was taking a big risk dealing with him again cause of Kevin. "AJ I'm sorry, this all wasn't your fault, you can stay at my place with us for tonight or longer if you want," I say to him, as the words leave my mouth he starts to smile. "Besides I don't think your going to find a cab in this art of town at this hour and I don't want to read in the paper that a member of the BSB was found killed or worse. So come on, get in the freaking car and lets get out of here." I open the door and motion for him to get in. He starts to smile more when he realizes I'm not joking and I'm not going to leave him out here in Southwest DC for the night. Hell I wouldn't leave my worst enemy in this part of town let alone a BSBer.

"D man that's mighty noble of you," he says walking up and hugging me, "Thank you."

"First off don't call me D man, the name is David, Dave or even Dai, in those rare occasions. Don't make a habit of calling me Dai also, or I'll start to ignore you got it," I say looking at him, he just shakes his head, "Second there is nothing noble about what I just did, is called common friendship." I say climbing into the front passenger seat. Both AJ and Michelle get in next, AJ in the driver seat and Michelle in the back. "Um.. why are you driving?" I say to AJ

"Well she's too blitzed to drive, even if she said she was going to drive and you're in no shape to drive either, so I'm the only one left. Don't worry, I don't drink as much as people think I do." He says smiling at me, "so where to boss man?" he says buckling up then starting the car. I do have to say good boy, about the seat belt. I give him the directions to my townhouse in Georgetown, as we get to Georgetown we hit the Friday late night traffic. "Holy shit." He says slamming on the breaks. Now if you have ever driven in Georgetown on the weekend's hell even the weekdays you'll know the traffic is bad. That's a bad with a capital BAD. It is bumper to bumper all the way down the main strip and up into Northwest DC. It's just bad.

"You fool you should have warned him about this." Calls out Michelle from the back.

"I forgot, sorry but my mind is in other places right now please leave a message." With that she slaps me upside the head. I mumble bitch under my breath. "Well we have 4 blocks to go before we turn right. So get in the right hand lane." That's when it happened, as we go threw the light we get hit on my side of the car. I'm screaming for my car, bitching AJ out. Michelle was in the back screaming for her life. AJ was sitting there white knuckling the wheel for all his life as we go sliding into another car. "AJ out of your seat NOW." I scream at him, he still doesn't notice what was happening. I finally slap his face and he comes to.

"WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU HITTING ME?" he screams at me.

"Get your ass in the back seat NOW god damn it." He sees I'm pissed, he knows he was driving drunk, and he knows a cop would love to put his ass in detox for the night. He climbs into the back seat. I climb into the driver's seat and buckle up just as 2 cop cars pull up. Luckily for us no one could see into my car cause I have limo tint on all the windows but the front, which was being blocked by the back of one of the cars that hit us. In all honesty I'm very surprised we lived. One of the cops comes over to my window and flashes his light at it. Seeing that he can't see in the car I see him put his hand on his gun.

"ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW." He screams. I lower the window and put my hands up in the air.

"Don't shoot, I'm unarmed." He snaps close his gun.

"Is everyone okay in here?" he asks as he shines his light in the back seat and sees Michelle and AJ kissing. "Are they okay?" I look behind me and then turn to the cop.

"If they are kissing they are perfect." I say back to him with a dead pan stare.

"Are you okay?" he says to me. I quickly pat myself down.

"Yes, I'm fine. Just a little shook up that's all."

"Well don't move, let me get a medic over here to check you out." He reaches up to his shoulder and pages a medic and something else. "Okay do you think you can tell me what happened here?"

"I can try. We'll we just got back from The Edge, I was driving. As you can tell," I say motioning to myself and the drivers seat, "I was pulling into the right lane so I could take a back way to my house."

"Do you live in Georgetown?"

"Yes?" I say pulling my license off of my sunviser and handing it to him. "See. Well I was pulling into the right lane. We just got through the light, when we're hit."

"Do you remember if the light was green or red?"

"I'm pretty sure it was still green. The cars behind me was going threw it also, so yeah I would say it was still green. Well we get hit in the side by," I say looking threw the windows for the car that hit us, "That car." I say pointing to a red BMW, that was now on its side. "Then we skidded into this car and that one. That's when we stopped."

"Thanks, just stay here till the medic shows up, I also want him to give you a Breathalyzer."

"But I didn't drink, I was the designated driver for the evening." He takes that down also.

"I still want the test done." He says reaching into his top pocket and pulling out a card flipping it over he wrote something down on it. "Here's my card, if you have any questions or just want to talk, call me. I can have a copy of the report sent to you, also. If you need to talk off work hours my personal number is on the back along with my pager and cell phone number." He says placing the card in my hand and patting it. He releases my hand and walks away. I sit there motionless and thinking. I was just cruised by a cop, a hot cop mind you, but none the less a cop. I looked at his card and read his name. `Kent Robinson' KR. I start to cry again thinking about Kevin.

"Dave what's the matter." Asks Michelle as she climbs into the front seat. I hand her the card and lay my head down on the steering wheel. Michelle looks at the card then looks back to AJ and whispers. "He was picked up by a cop." AJ smiles.

"Then why is he crying?"

"I don't know. David hun, why are you crying?" I start talking a mile a minute as I talk Michelle's face contorts and AJ starts to laugh as he watches Michelle. "Oh!"

"OH?" replies AJ "You can understand him?"

"Yes, why can't you?" he shakes his head no. "Well the cops name was Kent Robinson...."

"Oh, I get it KR." Replies AJ shaking his head. "He really hurt you, didn't he?" replies AJ rubbing my back and looking over my shoulder. I just shake my head and stare out the window. "It will be okay, I'm sorry Kevin was such an asshole, he normally isn't that cold, I wonder what happened?"

"Is he okay?" ask the medic, as she walks up to the driver's side window.

"He's okay, he just had his heart broken tonight, that's all." Replies AJ still rubbing my back.

"Here lets get him out of the car so I can see if that's all." She replies. Opening the driver's side door I crawl onto the ground and look up. "What's his name?" she asks Michelle and AJ

"David, David Broome."

"Thanks, David. Hi my name is Karen." The mentioning of her name I start to cry harder. Michelle and AJ look at each other.

"Karen." Asks AJ she looks up at him. "What's your last name?" he asks.

"Well normally we aren't aloud to give them out, but right now I don't care. Its Russell, why?" AJ and Michelle look at each other again. "Why?" asks Karen again.

"Well the person that broke his heart is KR also, the cop who called you is also named KR. I think its a sign that maybe they should be together. Don't you think?" replies Michelle.

"I guess, but what's that got to do with now?" she says looking away from them and back to me. "David, I need to you listen to me, are you listening." I shake my head, "Good I need you to tell me where it hurts on your body." She says as she starts to probe my chest for any broken bones.

"I'm not hurt, I want to go home." I whisper

"What?" replies Karen getting down closer to my face. This time I scream it out right into her ear.

"I"M NOT HURT, I JUST WANT TO GO HOME." Karen goes flying back and covers her ear. Michelle and AJ start to laugh.

"Oh yeah he is okay." She replies rubbing her ear and packing up all her stuff. "You can go now." She says standing up and walking away. They get me back into the car AJ back behind the steering wheel. I knew this was a bad mistake but I didn't care I wanted to get home and sleep. He drives my car 10 feet and the front tired explodes.

"Fuckin great." He screams.

"AJ don't worry about it. Just pull it over there and we'll lock it up. We can walk home from here. I need call the insurance company and tell them what happened when we get home." I say rocking back and forth, staring out the front window, as Michelle holds me.

To be continued...
