(Aaron's POV)
I take off my shirt, since it is soaked and run it through my hair to dry the sweat out of it. I sit with my back to a tree to try and grab a little shade. I am still not used to a summer in California even though I had been here for almost a year. I put my board by me, and look at the skaters that are still out skating on the park they are all trying to get one last skate session in before school tomorrow.
I didn't see Jake today or well in the last few days, actually he is pretty much my best friend, I met him when I first moved down, and Chasen showed me the skate park, but like I said I haven't seen him in the last three or four days...Which is how Jake is, he will disappear for a few days and then suddenly come back.
The sun is scorching hot out, I check the watch on my wrist, Chasen should be here to pick me up in about ten minutes. I just sit quietly catching my breath. I lay my head back against the trunk of the tree and run my hands through my hair once more. My hair is wild; it's at that awkward side of not being short or shaggy but in between where it just stands up everywhere.
A shadow steps in front of me causing the sun to be behind him, I pick up my hand to shield my eyes to see if I could make out the person, but it still wasn't any use, the sun made it a pointless attempt.
"Hey dude I seen you here all summer, you new around here?" The stranger asks.
I just nod, "Yeah just moved here almost a year ago."
"What's you name dude?" He says sitting beside me.
I finally was able to see his face; he had brown hair and brown eyes that were alight with the look of mischief. "Aaron....Tarrant." I say still getting used to the fact I was adopted and agreed to take their last name.
I saw the name register in his face, "You are Chasen's brother huh?" he asks.
"Yeah, well adopted brother." I say getting up and stretching, I could feel his eyes upon my body.
He got up as well "So what are you doing? Oh and my name is Jon." He says smiling at me.
He wasn't too much taller than me, I could tell he was older he had a tattoo on his forearm; he wore skinny black jeans and a black v-cut shirt. He had the whole 'bad boy' vibe coming off of him. It was kind of hot.
"Like what you see huh?" he says with a big smile.
I just blush, and turn my eyes to the ground, "I'm just waiting for Chasen to pick me up."
He follows me over to the bench where I sat placing my board underneath; he proceeds to sit by me, "Ah, so have to wait on big bro huh? So you never told me if you like what you saw?" he says smiling again.
I smile back, "A little."
This gets him to smile a lot at me, "Good, because I really like what I see." He tells me as he lays his hand on my thigh.
He squeezes it as he looks at me, "So do you skate?" I ask.
"A little yeah, not to much." He says still squeezing and rubbing my thigh.
"I skate a lot now. So what grade are you in?" I ask trying to not concentrate on his hand which he is now moving his hand up and down my small thigh reaching the end of my shorts.
"I am going to be a senior what about you?" He asks still smiling at me.
"A uhmm, a sophomore..." I tell him as he slides his hand up the leg of my shorts.
I place a hand on his that are under my shorts, "Stop please." I tell him looking right into his eyes.
"Why? I thought you liked what you saw?" He says with the smile fading of his face.
"I do, but I don't like the contact that you are making with me. I don't know you dude." I tell him still trying to get his hand out of my shorts.
"Come on! You know you want this!" he starts to raise his voice, and grabs my wrist that is on top of his hand with his free hand and twists my wrist hard.
I give out a small cry, as he twists my wrist causing my scars are they are tender when pressure is applied, "Stop!" I yell out to him almost in tears.
He just laughs at me twisting harder, "Stop fighting me and let me just have a feel little dude."
"What the fuck do you think your doing Jon?" I hear a familiar voice from behind us.
I look and I see Braiden, but not the happy and chilled out one I am used to. He is pissed off and I can't even detect a trace of happiness on him.
"This doesn't concern you Braiden so back the fuck up." Jon shouts at him.
"Wrong again asshole, let go of Aaron!" Braiden says coming up closer.
Jon releases my wrist and gets up to face Braiden; I grab my wrist and hold it. I watch these two as they are face to face.
"What? What are you going to do? You need to run along home and play daddy to that orphan of yours!" Jon shouts in his face.
This gets a smirk from Braiden, "First you uneducated dick, Ian isn't an orphan considering I am his father, maybe you would understand that if you weren't such a tool and skipped school you might actually be educated, but you aren't. Secondly, Aaron is my business, that's my boyfriends little brother, don't fuck with him again."
I see Jon smirk again, "If I remember correctly your boyfriend is a good kisser too."
This pisses Braiden off, I see him step closer to him, "I promise you, you ever touch Chasen again I will hurt you."
"Oh yeah little boy why don't you prove that?" Jon says and spits in Braiden's face.
Braiden calmly wipes the spit off his face, and I don't even have time to comprehend how fast he moves, but he shoves Jon so hard that Jon falls to the ground and Braiden leans over him, "Don't test me Jon. You don't know what I can do, and you aren't worth my time! I have better things to do than fuck with trash like you."
I see a pissed off look from Jon as he pushes himself off the ground, and he backs away from Braiden, "This isn't over." He says as he walks away.
"Aaron! What the fuck were you doing?" he asks me.
I can tell he is still fuming, "I wasn't doing anything, and I was waiting for Chasen..." I say a little scared.
"He could have done anything he wanted to you! I tried to call you, and text you but you never replied!" he says running his hands through his hair.
I felt bad, because my phone was right in my pocket on silent.... "I'm sorry..." I tell him.
He lets out a sigh, "Lets go." He says as he picks up my skateboard.
I follow him still holding my wrist, I am still crying a little bit, I don't know if he is pissed at me or not, but I don't want him to be.
We get into his car, and he is silent. "I'm sorry Braiden..." I tell him.
"Don't worry about it." He says with no emotion in it, as he focuses on the road.
This doesn't reassure me at all, "He just came upon me I didn't know he was such a creep." I try to explain.
He looks over at me, "Just drop it Aaron."
I just shut my mouth and look out the window, I never seen him like this, and I don't like it at all. I wince as a sharp pain shoots up my wrist.
I see Braiden look over in my direction, "Is your wrist ok?"
"Just hurts from when he grabbed it." I say.
"Do you need to go to the hospital?" He asks.
I just shake my head.... "No I just want to go home."
We don't speak the rest of the ride home; I don't know what he is mad over. I don't like it when people are mad, I hope it's not me I didn't mean for things to get that out of hand I didn't think Jon was an asshole like that at all.
As we pull into the drive way I see Chasen, and Kyle outside throwing the football. I hear Braiden let out a sigh. I try and wipe my eyes, but I know someone will notice I had been crying.
I get out of the car and grab my board, and put my head down as I walk past Chasen, which I shouldn't have done because he noticed right away, "Aaron what is wrong?"
I just shook my head and made a beeline to the house I wanted to go to Kevin, because I was still getting pains in my wrist, and I heard Braiden approach Chasen...
(Braiden's POV)
I can already tell this isn't going well, Aaron didn't respond to when Chasen asked what was wrong, I walk right behind Aaron and I approach Chasen.
"What is going on?" He asks with a confused look on his face.
I let out a long sigh, "Jon was with Aaron when I got there."
"Wait Jon Latham?" He asks.
"Yeah, I got out of the car as fast as I could, they weren't getting along well. Jon had his hands up the leg of Aaron's shorts, and had a firm hold on his wrist." I say.
"What did you do?" He asks.
"I took care of the situation, Jon and I almost went at it." I tell him.
"What do you mean almost 'went at it'?" He asks raising his voice.
I let out another sigh, "Meaning I almost beat his ass Chasen."
"Don't get an attitude with me Braiden." He says getting pissed off.
"Well calm down, no one was hurt!" I tell him.
"Then why was Aaron crying?" He asks accusingly.
I just shake my head, "I don't know why you don't ask him. Who knows what would of happen if I didn't show up when I did! Jon could have hurt him; I don't understand why you are so pissy with me."
"Are you telling me everything?" He says.
"Yes! Oh I forgot that Jon spit in my face, and I shoved him down. That it took me awhile to get there, because Aaron wouldn't pick up the phone. Now are you happy mother!?" I say sarcastically.
"I don't know what your problem is lately Braiden, but I'm getting tired of it! You should have called me you don't know Aaron's wrist could be hurt!" Chasen yells at me.
"You are so worried over Aaron all the fucking time! We don't even have a relationship anymore Chasen! We haven't for months on end. I keep saying it will get better but it's not! You aren't yourself." I tell him.
"Don't put the blame on Aaron or me! You have been getting pissy for awhile Braiden. Why didn't you tell me all this shit earlier!" he shouts.
I am so confused on to why we are arguing now, "I have tried to talk to you, but all you say 'Oh its going to get better, its going to get better.' That's all you say. When was the last time we were alone? When was the last time we just relaxed, or focused on just us? It has been a long time Chasen!" I yell back at him.
"You need to leave now Braiden, before you say something you wont be able to fix." He says lowly to me.
"What is your fucking problem Chasen? You have been so uptight the last week! I can't even be around you at all!" I tell him.
"You shouldn't be freaking out in front of Aaron like that! You're a father you should know that shit!" He spits at me.
I scowl at him, "Aaron is sixteen get over it, and he isn't a little kid! You can't protect him from the world!"
He doesn't say anything to me at all he just looks at me with disappointment in his eyes, I stare back with the blood boiling in my veins I don't understand what the hell his issue was, "Fine you want me gone, I'm gone. How about you call me when my boyfriend has come back from his mental vacation!" I shout at him and walk back to my car.
I pull out of the driveway, Chasen still looking at me, I can't focus on that now. I don't understand what the hell I did that was so wrong? I stopped Jon from doing whatever he had on his agenda plus it felt good to let out a little pent up anger because he forced himself onto my boyfriend.
I pull up to the house, still not in the best mood. I do suppress the tears that were going to spill over, but I just couldn't let them fall I wasn't sad I was just angry at everything right now. I hit my steering wheel with my hands, and rest my head on it.
I feel like I am losing Chasen, and I have no clue what to do about it....its like I am fighting for a battle that was lost so long ago, I just don't know what to do anymore. We will be so great and then something like this happens, but today was the worst argument we ever had.
I get out of my car and walk into the main house, I hear my mom in the kitchen, and I hear her fingers snapping...I don't even want to know. My mom's a little crazy at times. I walk into the kitchen and see my mom with Ian sitting on the bar looking at her like she is the craziest woman alive.
"Mom what are you doing?" I ask.
She leans up and laughs, "Nothing baby just playing with my beautiful grandson. He is such a looker."
I give her a weak smile, and walk to where Ian is, and he looks up at me and gives a big smile to me, and reaches for me. So I pick him up.
I take the little guy in my arms hugging him, he is basically the only thing that is stable in my life right now it seems, I look over at my mom who gives me a smile, I try and give her a weak one back.
"What's wrong?" She asks, drying her hands with a towel.
I put Ian in his highchair, "I think I messed up mom."
She moves over to me, "What do you mean? With the store, or what?"
"Braiden and I had a huge fight earlier." I tell her.
"Baby what happened?" She asks looking concerned.
I see Ian perk up at the sound of Bray's name. "I just, Aaron was in trouble and I stood up, plus the same guy has been giving Chasen problems." I tell her and take a breath.
"Did you overstep your boundaries?" She asks concerned.
"I don't really know, I didn't think I did, but Aaron got scared and I don't know why he was scared. I wasn't upset with him." I tell him.
"Are you sure, you didn't project any anger on him?" She asks looking at me with knowing eyes. "I know things have been hard between you two lately since he has arrived."
I just put my head down in shame, "I might have a little bit. Just I didn't understand how he could let someone come on to him, and not defend himself." I say.
She moves to me and puts her hand on my shoulder, "Baby, not all of us are as strong and know how to defend ourselves." She says to me.
I look at her in disbelief, "But he gets attention from everyone there!"
"Honey, you never been starved for attention like he was, you don't know what it is to not have anyone care for you, so he is going to attach and give his attention to anyone that will give him some, positive or negative.
I put both hands on either side of my head, "I know I projected anger on to him, it's just, I am worried that I am losing Bray.... Plus he hasn't been himself he gets upset over little things I just don't know what's with him anymore.
"Maybe you need to talk to him about how you feel." She tells me.
I move to the sink to wash my face, I don't know what to even do right now, because today has been one of the worst days of my life. This fighting with Chasen has to end! One minuet he is fine and the next he is upset with me, I don't understand it!
"Honey, why don't you go lay down with Ian for a bit. I will call you when I have dinner ready. Looks like you need some rest." My mom says smiling weakly at me.
I smile back at hear and move to pick up my baby boy, she is right I need some rest I have been pulling crazy hours at the store, since it has been so busy, because it's the end of summer and more people have come to the beach.
"I don't know what grandma did with you today, but I can see in your eyes you are sleepy buddy." I whisper to Ian as I carry him to the house. It saddens me I don't even know if he can hear what I am saying to him...
He still smiles at me, as I talk to him. "I love you daddy." He says and leans in to hug me.
That's enough to make me smile so big! I hold my little man tight in my arms, I can tell he is getting sleepy so I lay him in my bed, and I lay down beside him watching him sleep. I put my phone on vibrate, and that is a good thing because as soon as I do I get a text message.
Dude can't make it into work, at the school fighting about what grade I'm in . They're trying to hold me back! Please cover me bro I will make up for it tomorrow! I will cover your shift!-Alex
Yeah bro I got it make sure you're a senior!-B
I just let out a sigh; well I knew this wouldn't last. I slowly pick up Ian off the bed and into my arms, and walk slowly back to the main house. I enter the kitchen where my mom is.
"I have to go cover Alex at the shop, he is at the school fighting with the office." I tell her.
"Ok honey, don't worry just go do what you need too.
I head out the door, not really wanting to go to the shop, but honestly it will be better than lazing around my pool house. At least I will have something to occupy my mind and not think so much of Chasen and why he keeps freaking out on me.
---------------------------------------(The end of the day)--------------------------------------
I cash out the register, and get ready to count it; it was way busier than I thought I would be, considering the first day of school is tomorrow. I check my phone and I have a few missed calls from Chasen, I go ahead and decide to call him.
"I have been trying to call you!" I hear him say as soon as he picks up.
"I've been at work." I tell him.
"Oh, I thought you pissed and just ignoring me." He says.
"No Chasen, I love you so much, but you are freaking out over stupid things! I don't know what is going on in your head Chasen, but I can't keep fighting with you. I refuse to." I tell him as I lean against the counter.
"You are right, I don't know why I am acting like I am. It scares me when I saw you walk away I didn't even know if we were still together... Aaron explained more to me about what happened, and I understand you where trying to defend him. I am sorry baby." He says. I can tell he is close to tears.
"Look Chasen, I know we are very serious right now, and I know deep down you are scared I am going to hurt you. That is not my intentions at all; I love you so much I could be with you for the rest of my life. I just think you need to work out some things babe maybe you need to see a counsellor." I tell him.
"You think I am crazy?" he asks.
"NO! Chasen, I just think you still have pent up feelings about your mother, and Tanner. You never fully sat down with someone who could help you. You might have seen someone, but I know you. You blow it off as you are ok, but I see through that because I love you and I want you to be able to be secure with me." I tell him.
I don't hear anything but breathing from the other line, "I know, you are right. Just I want to be as strong as you are."
"I don't need you to be as strong as me, that's why I am strong for us! I confronted Jon, because no one else stood up for you in the past and that's my job ok? I love you so much." I tell him.
"I love you too, and I am sorry." He says.
"It's ok babe, I have to go I hear something in the store ok?" I tell him looking out of the office door.
"Ok babe, I love you." He says.
I put down the phone and make my way out of the office, I didn't realize I went in there while I was on the phone, "Sorry we are closed!" I yell out.
"Well damn, I wanted to check out this long board." A familiar voice says.
I round the corner and I knew that voice, it was Jay. "Jay your finally back!" I say smiling.
"Hey kid. How are you?" He asks smiling.
"The store is doing great I hope you like how I rearranged it, I wanted to make it more open." I tell him indicating to the changes.
"I didn't ask about the store numbskull, how are you?" He asks still smiling.
I take a good look at Jay, he was skinnier than when I last saw him, and his hair was almost white, and he looked just plain worn out and tired. "I am good Jay. How are you?
"Tired kid very tired. Didn't think doing a book tour, and opening more shops would be such a chore. Hell I would rather do a hundred more surfing competitions than do that again. Hell I am not getting any younger." He says sitting across from me.
He looks at me with a smile, "What are you grinning about?" I ask.
"You grown up a lot kid." He says leaning back in the chair.
"Have to Jay, I'm a father you know that." I tell him leaning back in my chair as well.
He smiles, "How is the little one?"
"Getting big, and talking up a storm and getting into everything imaginable!" I tell him.
He lets out a hearty laugh, "Well then kid, you are doing something right. How is the boyfriend?" he asks.
My smile falters, "We are having more issues lately, and I don't know what to do about it Jay..."
"Kid, one thing I know is relationships are complicated, always have been always will be. You just have to pull through. If this boy is the one for you, you will know it deep down you would walk through fire, endure pure hell for him. Just to be with him." He says looking at me with his hard blue eyes.
"I would do anything for him, just whatever I do isn't the right thing." I tell him.
"Well kid, that is something you need to talk to him about, he might be having some internal conflict you never know." He tells me and gets up out of his chair and motions for me to get up as well, "Now get the hell out of here kid, let me close my damn shop." He says with a smile.
"Thanks, Jay." I tell him and grab my keys.
(Chasen's POV)
I knock on the door, and wait patiently for someone to answer....I stand there still nervous as always, even though Braiden's parents love me.
I hear footsteps at the door, and Mrs. Hanley answers the door, "Hi, Chasen dear how are you?"
"I'm good, how are you?" I ask.
"Sue who is at the door?" I hear Karl ask.
"It's just Chasen honey." She says back.
"Well tell him to come in already, no sense in him staying at the door." He hollers from the living room.
Sue, smiles at me and motions me into the house, "Come on honey, Karl is right."
I walk into the living room, and sit on the sofa across, from Karl, who is holding Ian. "Son it's good to see you!" he says to me.
"Good to see you to sir. How have you been?" I ask.
"Some old shit different day, another patient another surgery. Its like tying shoes once, you've done the surgeries a few times its easy." He says.
I laugh at his saying, and then I hear Ian shriek with happiness and slide down from where he is sitting, "Daddy!" he says running at me with his hands in the air wanting me to pick him up. I still haven't become used to being called daddy.
I scoop him up in my arms causing him to shriek with excitement, so comes and joins us in the living room. "So have you and Bray worked out the issue from today?"
"That's why I came over, I just I wanted to apologize to him. I did freak out a little, but I have to be protective of Aaron...I just I love Braiden and he knows that my love for him is first, just I have to be a big brother to Aaron and that's first too." I say.
"We understand that, plus ya'll are in love honey. Karl and I argue and get mad at each other all the time, but we make up. Just like you and Braiden will do." She says.
Karl smiles, "She's right, this woman can get me so angry, but I love her with all my being. Son, Braiden is a hot tempered teenager, just as I am sure you are too, but you both have had to grow up way to fast. There are going to be trying times, and there will be easy time. It's how you grow from them both make it all worth while."
"Thanks a lot, I mean I just hate that we have been arguing. It seems like when we make up, it happens all over again, just we are both so busy..." I say.
"Well, tell you what stay the night with him, spend some time together. I am sure it will be fine. We will keep the grandson tonight." Karl says looking at Sue who just nods in agreement.
"Thank you guys, so much." I say.
"Now go! I will give you a key to the pool house. Give him a huge surprise when he walks in I am going to text him saying Ian is asleep and that we are going to keep him overnight." Sue says handing me a key.
I walk out of the house with a smile on my face; walking across the yard I felt the cool night run over my skin. For the first time I was completely happy to be able to have a boyfriend to surprise like I was about to do. Even though tomorrow is the first day of school, I don't care if we stay up all night long I just want to be with him.
I push the key into the hole in the door knob, and hear the lock click as I turn it and I push open the door, the smell of Braiden hit me, and I couldn't stop smiling. It smelled just like my boyfriends cologne, as I enter his house I look around and it is just as neat and organized as I expected it to be.
I walk over to the bed and see a candle and light it up, Bray should be getting home soon. I lift my shirt over me head, letting the cool air hit my skin, and I slowly undo my belt buckle. I feel so dorky for stripping down but I want to see his reaction to walking in the house and see me waiting for him on the bed. I almost stop, but I decide against it we haven't been intimate in a while and I miss his touch, and his smooth lips brushing my skin.
I unbuckle my belt and drop my baggy shorts on the floor and I crawl onto the bed and lay back. I eagerly await my boyfriend to come in to his pool house, I still have butterflies in my stomach and I smile about it. Still after a year I get butterflies just thinking of him.
I hear the door unlock, and Braiden come in. I hear him stop with the door open looking around then room. "Who is in here?" he asks not too happily.
My smile falters a little I don't want him to be in a bad mood, "It's just me babe." I say.
"Chase? What are you doing in here?" He says coming around the bar and sees me on his bed.
"Your mom and dad told me to come in here." I say looking up at him.
A big grin crawls on his lips and he lies down in bed with me, "What are you doing here goof ball?" He asks.
"Well I wanted to see my amazing boyfriend, and to apologize." I say smiling.
"Well don't." he says and kisses me, and moving on top of me.
I smile, and kiss him back, "I've missed our closeness." I whisper.
"Me too." He mumbles out and kisses me again harder this time pressing his groin into mine.
I moan out, and press back against his hips, I kiss him again tugging at his shirt to come off, "I love you." I whisper to him.
"I love you too so much." He says moving his arms so I can pull off his shirt.
I run my hands over his smooth back, I love to touch him, I slip my tongue into his mouth and we start to slowly massage each other's tongues back and forth. He breaks the kiss and smiles at me.
"What I say?" Looking back at him.
"You're perfect for me. I cannot think of a better night to spend with my boyfriend than the night before the start of our senior year." He says.
I just look back at him with a goofy grin, "You are such a dork."
"But you love every bit of it." He says.
"You're right, now kiss me!" I say reaching up for him.
He smiles, and leans down and kisses me hard, I resume grinding against him I move to undo his belt buckle, and unzip his shorts, but he stops and looks at me.
"Babe, would it be ok if we didn't have sex tonight? I just want to lay here with you in my arms. It's really what I want after this past week." He says.
I just smile bigger, "Yeah, that's perfect with me, but you have to lose the clothes though!" I say.
He takes off his shorts and, motions for me to take off my boxers. I oblige and take them off and he looks over me and smiles. The butterflies in my stomach flutter more. He takes off his boxers as well, and I return the look he looks so perfect his tan skin and tight body.
He lies back down on the bed, and I scoot over to him, he kisses me softly on my lips, and I put my back to him, and he puts his arm over me, and moves close to me. I can feel his breath on my neck. I smile, and turn to meet his lips; we share a slow passionate kiss.
"I have missed you so much." I tell him.
He smiles at me, "I have missed you so much more."
I laugh, "I can't believe we are going to be seniors, and that this is our last year in school.... But most of all I can't believe you are still with me."
He stops kissing my neck and looks at me, "What do you mean you can't believe I am still with you?"
"Well I figured you would have been tired of me now..." I trail off.
He gives me an intense look, "Babe when I said I loved you I really do. If I have the ability to be with you for the rest of my life I want too. I love you, we may argue, it's only because we have so much love and care for each other. Hell Ian loves you just as much as me. I want you to be with me, and be in Ian's life for a long, long, long time."
"I would be luck to be with you for a long, long, long time." I tell him and kiss him again.
Chapter 3.
(Aaron's POV)
"Dude, I am going to bed. We have school tomorrow and I don't want to be a zombie for the first day of school." Kyle says to me.
"Yeah, I agree.... But I am going to stay up for a little bit longer...Kyle how is this school?"
He cocks his head to the side, "It's ok man, you have the normal idiots but its good. I mean I was never messed with or teased when I was getting sick and shit in school." He says.
"That's good, I am just really, really nervous." I tell him.
He laughs, "Dude it will be ok, I will probably be in some of your classes, that and Lexie is a freshman this year, and you know she is all about looking out for us." He says as he gets up from the couch.
I look at him more; he has gotten taller, yet still lean. He isn't as pale as when I first met him. I hear him still when he gets sick, but he told me not to tell Caroline or Kevin saying he didn't want to worry them, that it's rare when he gets sick, but I know I have heard him puking more and more lately. I know he isn't suffering from an eating disorder because this dude eats non-stop.
Twenty minuets later I am still in the living room on the couch, I turned the TV off as soon as Kyle went up to his room. I wished Chasen was here to tell me tomorrow is going to be just fine, but he is with Braiden. This is good because they needed their time...
"Honey are you okay?" I hear Caroline say from behind me.
I jump a little, "You scared me!" I say grabbing my chest.
"I'm sorry honey, I didn't mean too." She says sitting down beside me.
I lean on her and she puts her arm around me. "It's ok, where is Da...Kevin?" I ask.
I see her smile, "He is asleep hun, just like you should be getting to bed soon it's eleven thirty already, and you have your first day of school tomorrow."
I shrug my shoulder, "I know..."
She pats my arm, "Are you scared?"
"Yes, I just I don't know how people are going to treat me...especially since well..." I stop and show my wrists.
She puts her hands over them, "Baby it will be fine ok, there are far more things to be concerned about, it was a horrible time in your life, everyone has them. But not everyone does that though. The important thing is you are over that period of your life and you have started a new chapter."
I lean in again and hug her, "Thanks a lot Caroline..."
She hugs me back, "Your welcome baby, and I know you wanted to call Kevin, your dad. I know you have said it before and it is ok. If you ever want to call me mom it's fine too honey. You are apart of this family, adopted or not."
"Thank you." I say trying not to choke up.
Just then we hear a light knock on the door. We both look at each other, "Well I'm not answering it they'd kidnap me!" I say smiling.
This gets Caroline laughing, "Well fine I will get it." She says getting up tightening her robe as she walks to the door.
I sit back so I can see her, as she opens the door she stands back a little, "Hello?"
"Umm. Hi Mrs. Tarrant? I..." I hear a familiar voice say.
I hop off the couch and move to stand by Caroline, and I knew I recognized that voice it was Jake, but he didn't look to good. He had dark purple rings under his eyes, and he was just in a tank top, and shorts with a backpack on.
I see his eyes shoot to the floor when I stand beside Caroline, "Aaron, go wait in the other room and let me talk to him." She says.
"Mrs. Tarrant.....I'm Jake. I'm Aaron's friend we skate together a lot. Do you think it's possible that I could just stay for the night please?" He pleads to her.
"So you are Jake?" She asks.
"Yes Ma'am." He says.
I am in the living room still watching what's going on and I see her motion him inside. I can't help but look at him, even if he isn't looking his best, his chestnut brown hair that fringes where he his hat stops that he usually wears, and his green eyes that have a ring of yellow around the iris. He looks so good in that tank top; his nice toned and tanned arms...
I break out of my trance when I see her lead him to the couch. "Jake are you okay?" I ask.
"Honey, let him sit first ok? And let him fill us in." Caroline instructs me.
"Sorry..." I say and sit back.
He sits next to Caroline, and she has his hand in hers, how I wished that was me being able to hold his hand. He looks like he might cry... "So what's going on Jake?" She asks.
"Well it's just rough at home right now, it's now always like this....I mean my mom is pregnant now, and her and dad don't get along that well already and he just not in a happy place so there is just a lot of screaming and arguing non-stop. So it's hard for me to sleep and yeah..." he trails off.
"Jake have things gotten violent at your house?" Caroline asks.
"A little." He says avoiding her eyes.
My heart drops, I never seen him like this, he is usually so calm and collective and just assured about himself, I envied him on how he carried himself as if nothing would hold him back.
"What is a little?" She asks.
"Just pushing and shoving..." He says.
"Between who?" Caroline asks becoming more concerned.
He sighs, "Dad and I."
Caroline shakes her head, "Has he hit you?"
"....No, Mrs. Tarrant I'm just really tired could I please just lie down? If you will let me stay?" he says.
"I'm sorry sweetie yes..." She says to him, "Aaron let him sleep in your room tonight I will wake you both up in time in the morning for breakfast. Now go, go get some sleep."
"Thank you." He says, as he gets up.
Caroline gets up and hugs him, "Your welcome sweetie."
She leans over to me, and hugs and kisses my head. I hug her back, "Night." I tell her.
I lead Jake up to my room; he doesn't say much once we get in the room I tell him he can put his bag wherever he would like. He sits on my bed and yawns.
"Dude, I'm sorry for just showing up...I just didn't know who else to go to...I mean they helped you and all..." He says.
I put my arm around him, "Jake it's fine man are you sure you are ok?" I ask.
"Just a little shaken up tonight, and sleepy." He says giving a little laugh.
"Well let's get to bed man I am tired to..." I tell him getting up.
"Where am I sleeping?" he asks.
I laugh, "In my bed with me, if you are cool with that." I say.
"Oh...yeah I just didn't want to you know intrude or anything." He says.
"You aren't man. You just have to sleep on the left side!" I say laughing.
I watch him get up from the bed looking unsure of what to do, "Hey man hope you don't mind I sleep in my boxers." I tell him.
"Oh nah, man that's ok with me... Do you mind if I sleep in mine?" He asks.
"I'd feel awkward if you didn't!" I tell him laughing.
I go ahead and peel off my shirt, not really paying attention but I can tell he is looking at me as I do. I toss my shirt near my basket, I go ahead and undo my belt and button and start to take off my shorts. I still feel his eyes watching me, I get a little excited from this and I pull my shorts all the way off.
I stretch knowing he is watching me. After I stretch for a few seconds I act like I itch my dick, and he is still watching, I give a yawn, "Well man you just going to stand there or you gunna get ready for bed?" I ask.
I move over to my side on the bed and lay down, watching him as he slowly raises his shirt, I can see his six pack already, it makes my dick jump but I will myself to keep control of my hormones.
It is only then that I notice the bruises running along his chest and down his ribs, "Jake! What the fuck happen?" I ask trying to keep my voice low.
He looks, away and sits on the bed with his head in his hands, I hear him start to cry, I move over to comfort him..."I didn't want anyone to know..." I hear him gasp out.
"What happened?" I ask again.
"It got pretty bad last night. He came home drunk, and him and mom was arguing and he shoved her, and I got in the middle to stop him from harming her.... He started to hit me, and it just got out of hand." He says still crying.
"Jake, those aren't the only new ones, there are old ones on your back I haven't seen you for days!" I say.
He doesn't say anything he just keeps crying... "I don't know what to say..." he mumbles out.
"How about the truth... We can help you Jake." I tell him.
"It use not to be this bad... It's gotten worse since he started to drink again. I just don't want anything bad to happen to them." He says.
"Your mom lets him do this to you?" I ask in disbelief.
"Can we just go to bed please?" He asks.
"Yeah..." I say.
He gets up, and pulls his shorts down, I see bruises on his legs as well, I don't say anything to him. I just scoot back to my side of the bed, and get under the covers. I see him hit the light switch and crawl into my bed.
I lay there wondering what is going through his mind right now. I feel so bad for him, but then again I don't know what he wants or if he wants to do anything about it. I can hear him sniffling. I know sleep is the last thing on his mind.
"Aaron?" I hear him whisper to me.
"Yeah dude?" I say back.
He hesitates for a second... "I know it's kind of gay, but do you think you could put your arm around me for a little bit just until I fall asleep?"
I wince at the gay part, considering I never told him I am, but I did put my arm around him and he snuggled up closer to me, he smelt good, considering how bruised he was. Its like his pores already just smelled of his cologne. It didn't take long after he got close to me for him to fall asleep. I laid there with him so close, it was hard to keep my hormones under control but I did. I eventually fell asleep with the boy I had a huge crush on in my arms.
(Chasen's POV)
"Oh yes, Braiden right there... Yeah baby that feels so good." I moan out as I ride him.
I hear him moan as I bounce faster on his cock that is buried deep inside of my small ass. I come back down to sit on his cock taking it all in, I lean forward and he kisses me passionately, as I start to move my ass up and down again.
I sit back up so I can move up and down his shaft more, that's when he places his hands on my hips and rolls me on my back, while his cock is still in me. He straddles my legs around his hips. He starts off slow and I start to moan a little.
He slowly builds up speed as, I feel his balls slapping my bare ass, I listen to him grunt as I feel him penetrate me deep, I move my hand to find my cock, and I start to jerk my cock, "Faster Bray I moan out."
I feel him speed up a little as his cock is not slamming my tight ass. I feel beads of sweat drop from his forehead as he leans down to kiss my neck. I moan as his bites my neck softly; I'm still jerking my cock faster and faster and can feel his cock, my prostate every time he rams it back into my ass. I moan louder, "Keep fucking me harder I'm going to cum so hard!"
I hear him grunt more as he works my ass with his cock, I pick up faster jerking my cock, I feel my balls tighten up and I moan loud as I start to cum, it hits his stomach and spill over onto my stomach, I shoot three big loads and a smaller one, I milk my cock a little more.
Braiden grunts more as he fucks me faster, "I'm going to cum soon baby." He tells me as he starts to fuck my ass harder. I let out little moans as he still hits my prostate with each thrust of his hips. I feel him pull out.
He leans over me and jerks his cock, over my stomach, "Ugghhhh.." He moans as he starts to cum on me. Four loads hit my stomach, and Braiden falls on top of me. He looks up at me and smiles.
"I cannot believe this is how we started our first day of our senior year." He says laughing.
I laugh as well, "I couldn't help it but wake you up. Being next to you naked was impossible." I say and kiss the top of his head.
"I'm sorry baby." He says as he points to the hickeys he has given me.
I look at my chest and there are four hickeys in varies places on my chest, "BRAIDEN! I can't even take off my shirt in my own house now!" I say.
"Its ok, just means we have a lot of fun." He says kissing my stomach.
"That we do." I say laughing.
Braiden rolls off of me and onto his side, I move to my side to face him, he kisses me slowly. I don't expect what he does next he slaps my ass hard, "Now lets go shower dirty boy we have school in like an hour!" He says getting up.
I grab my ass, and chase after him, "That is so not right!" I tell him as I get into the shower with him.
He pulls me close, "I'm sorry babe." He whispers and kisses me slowly, pulling me closer to him.
As we kiss the water cascades down our bodies, we slowly use our tongues to battle each others. I rake my nails over his back lightly and he shivers, he bites my lip gently.
"I love you so much Chasen." He tells me.
"I love you to babe but we need to go get dressed we need to get to school!" I rush him out of the shower.
(The School)
I pull into the parking lot, I need to find out where my brothers are, and my little sister is. I think as I park the car. I grab my bag, and lock the car as I shut the door putting the keys in my pocket. I wait for Braiden to get out of his car. He grabs his bag and comes over to me.
"Ready babe?" He asks smiling.
"Yeah, I am." I tell him.
"Chasen! Dude! What's up?" Jesse shouts as he is walking towards me.
I meet up with him and shake his hand giving him a hug, "Hey bro what's up?"
"Nadda! Surely not wanting to be here today!" He says laughing. "What's up Braiden?"
"Not much Jesse how are you man?" Braiden asks smiling.
"Good man so lets all go get our schedules!" Jesse says.
I just shake my head, Jesse is full blast today, I can tell he is like a big ass ball of energy. We walk up to the deck where the teachers have set out tables. I am sure I will find my family there I just want to make sure Aaron and Kyle are ok. "I want to find my brothers and sister." I say to no one in particular.
"I see them." Braiden says pointing to them.
Sure enough I see Aaron, with one of his friends, and Kyle next to them. Ryan is surrounded by girls imagine that, and of course I see Lexie with her friends. "Looks like they are fine." I say.
"Hey sexy." I hear someone call out to me.
I look over to my left and I see Jon sitting on his car smoking a cigarette, "You do know it's against the law to smoke on school grounds." I tell him not smiling.
"You do know the dirty things I want to do to you aren't so legal either." He says smirking.
Braiden drops my hand, but I grab his wrist, "Stop he isn't worth it babe." I tell him.
"Stay the fuck away from my boyfriend." Braiden says.
Jon just flips him off, and laughs. I pull on Braiden's wrist, "Bray lets just go!" I tell him.
He reluctantly follows me, "I could have taken care of this issue." He tells me as we get into the senior line to get our schedules.
"I know you could have, but I would rather have you here instead of suspended!" I tell him.
"You are right, I am sorry I just can not stand that creep!" He says sighing out loud.
"Dude don't worry with him he will be suspended before the end of the day." Jesse tells him as he steps up to get his schedule.
We both get ours, and I go up behind Aaron and grab him and scare him and he jumps. "Dude not funny at all!" He shouts at me.
"My bad cause I thought it was hilarious!" I tell him smiling.
"What took you guys so long?" He asks looking at Braiden and I.
"Busy morning." Braiden says with a smile.
"Gross guys I didn't want that image!" Kyle says with a sour face.
"Braiden takes him under his arm and gives him a nuggie, "Hey little shit how are you?"
Kyle pushes Braiden off, "Fine, ready to see what this day is about!" He says fixing his hair.
"Oh this is Jake..." Aaron says pointing to Jake.
We all say hey to him, he gives a small wave back. Nothing to big, "Where is Lexie?" I ask.
"With the rest of the mean girls." Kyle says laughing.
"Ryan is with all his friends!" Aaron cuts in.
The bell rings, and we head out to our homeroom, "Bray what teacher do you have?" I ask.
"Johnson, what about you?" he asks.
"You have to be kidding me! I have Williamson again!" I say disappointed.
"Dude I have her too!" says Aaron.
"Me as well!" Jesse says.
"I have Barber..."Kyle says.
"Johnson." Jake says really disappointed.
I give Aaron a 'what's up with him look' and he shakes his head meaning he will fill me in later, I kiss Bray on the cheek and whisper to him, "Try to get to know Jake."
He shakes his head lightly, "Well Jake I guess you and I will get off to Johnson's. I hard he is likely to lock you out of class if you are late." Braiden says putting a hand on his shoulder.
"I hate Williamson's class she tries to get all nosey!" I say as we walk off to her class.
I make a beeline straight to the seat I sat in last year, and Jesse follows behind me followed by Aaron. We sit right next to each other, "So what's with the Jake kid? Is he you know?" I ask Aaron after we sit.
"Dude no! He is just having some issues, and we are really good friends." He says.
We hear a lot of guys and girls giggling, and we look towards the back and of course there is my brother Ryan, charming all the girls and cracking jokes with his friends, he meets my eye and smiles, I smile back and shake my head.
Ms. Williamson take a stand, and the class gets quiet, "Welcome back, as you see this year we have a mix of grades in homerooms, I don't not know why, but upper classmen be nice to the lower classmen." She says.
"You mean I can't make them carry all of my shit, or make them do my homework?" Ryan yells out.
Ms. Williamson's eyes get big, "Mr. Tarrant! You know better than cursing in my classroom, and no the under classmen will not be your slave!" She says looking upset.
"That's even a better idea, they can all be my minions!" He hollers out again, and gets his buddies laughing.
"It's good to see you haven't changed at all Mr. Tarrant. Now I will call role please say here and raise your hand so I can see who you are." She says.
She continues to call role, looking down the list she skips Ryan, because well he has made his presence known to all, "Braiden? Where are you at sweetie?"
"Right here Ms. W." I say.
"It's so good to see your face again, now I wasn't aware that there was yet another Tarrant...Aaron?" She calls out looking around.
"Here." He says raising his hand.
"Okay yes I need you to step outside with me sweetie." She says motioning him to the door.
I look back at Ryan, and he gives me a look that we should go see what is going on so we do. We both walk out the door almost running into Ms. Williamson.
"Boys what are you doing?" she ask.
"Where's Aaron at?" we both ask.
She looks at both of us and shakes her head, "It's still so weird how you both look and talk so much alike, boys I am sure you are worried about him but he is fine. He has another placement for a few weeks just to make sure of things." She says.
"That isn't helping I need to know where he is." Ryan says getting impatient.
"Ryan he is fine now get back in class." She tells him.
We both roll our eyes and head back into her dreaded class. "This is bullshit!" Ryan curses under his breath. I just laugh at this.
(Kyle's POV)
Today has pretty much sucked so far, I didn't feel too great today but I didn't want to worry anyone, so I didn't say anything. The trial medicine was working so great, but I stopped taking it, it stopped working anyway. I haven't taken it in about three weeks. I can feel myself getting weaker... I just don't want to disappoint my mom and dad by telling them it stopped anyway.
I brush my hair out of my eyes listening to this stupid teacher drone on and on about the rules is giving me a headache... He is a Biology teacher, and he is short and fat with a baldhead, and a monotone voice just hearing it makes me shiver.
We have to sit at the Lab tables, everyone was assigned to sit at them, but my partner I guess what you would call him isn't even here on the first day. I hope when he isn't in my class when I actually have biology, because if so it would suck when he just decides not to show up at all.
So here I am sitting here drawing, and I hear the door open, "Sorry man I was late. Don't really know this town." I hear a boy say.
I look up and see who it is, I have never seen him, His brown hair isn't really short nor long in the middle it's styled to have a messy look, and wearing those jeans that just hang low on your hips, and a white v-neck shirt. He is also wearing black converse, and has blue eyes, and nice teeth.
"Mr. Watson sit go take a seat. Next times you are late do not make a scene coming into my class!" Mr. Barber tells him.
"Dang my bad, so where am I sitting." He asks looking amused.
"Right next to Kyle...Kyle raise your hand." Mr. Barber says sounding pissed now.
I slowly raise my hand and the boy gives, me a grin and begins to walk over to the stool next to me. He puts his book bag on the ground and sits right next to me.
He leans in closer to me, "I'm Silas." He says giving me a smile.
"Kyle." I say not really trying to talk much, but I notice his eyes have a small ring of yellow around the iris.
He cocks his head to the side a little, "Dude your pale as hell, I mean you live in California."
I look at him, "Yea I noticed I was pale too." I tell him.
"Oh shit bro I didn't mean to sound like a douche. I just I don't think before I say shit." He says.
"Boys is there something you need to share with us?" Barber says to us.
Silas speaks up, "Yeah I was telling my buddy Kyle here on how great your class is going to be, and that he needs to show me around town." He says giving a smile.
I just look at my table; I hit him in the ribs, "Dude what the hell?" I tell him.
He jabs me back in the ribs, I grab my side, fuck I think now I am going to bruise now, did I ever mention I bruise easily it sucks, "Just go with it dude have some fun." He says.
I just nod my head, "You are weird." I tell him.
"But you like it." He says.
"No my brother would though." I tell him.
"Good maybe I can get with him." He says winking at me.
I give him a weird look, "Are you?" I stop before I complete the sentence.
"Not gay, but bi. Are you?" he asks.
"No, never thought about dating anyone." I say trying to avoid this topic.
"Dude we must get you laid soon!" He says a little too loud.
"Silas shut up." I say and glare at him.
"My bad touchy subject bro it's ok, I can teach you everything!" He whispers to me.
I just role my eyes at him, I don't really know if I am going to like this dude or not. He's annoying as hell! I can't help but watch him draw as Barber is still droning on, and finally the bell rings, but the sad news is that I am stuck in the same class.
"Is this your next class?" Silas says not moving either.
I just nod, "Yeah, biology."
He smiles bigger, "Good me too. I just will chill with you then!"
I just smirk, and think how wonderful today has already been....I can feel a headache start, and I squint my eyes. I see Aaron walk into the classroom, and he doesn't look to happy either, "Aaron come sit right over here!" I wave him over pointing to the seat across from me and Silas.
"What's up?" Aaron says as he sits across from me.
"Dude you have hot eyes!" Silas interjects.
Aaron smiles at this, "Umm thanks, but I have no clue who you are."
He smiles, "Silas."
I just shake my head. "Silas, this is my brother Aaron."
"Is this the one?" he asks.
"Shut up!" I whisper.
Aaron is already looking at the teacher, "Dude he seems like an asshole."
Silas leans forward. "You have no idea, I tried to be all chill when I came in and he just shot me down!"
I roll my eyes, "Maybe if you weren't trying to make a scene when you walked in."
"Was not making a scene, your just jealous cause I know you liked what you saw." He says with a smirk.
Aaron gives me a look like what is he talking about, I just shake my head. I see more kids have filled the class room. I wished any of them but Silas would sit next to me.
"Class settle down!" Barber hollers out. "Now, I hope you are comfortable and happy, because I am about to make you uncomfortable. The partner right next to you, will be the person you depend on and will ultimately have a huge impact on your grade considering most of what we do is group work!"
I put my head down, I am fucked! I think to myself.
Aaron looks around, "Dude I don't have a partner?"
"Raise your hand!" I tell him.
Aaron raises his hand, and clears his throat so Barber looks our way. "Yes?" He says sourly.
Putting his hand down, "I don't have a partner." Aaron tells him.
He looks around and I see he found his prey I follow his gaze to the person, it was a girl, she was really pretty dirty blonde hair that was actually really long, with brown eyes. "You, move next to this blonde boy!" He tells her.
"Now you have a partner!" Barber says
"Dude he is a dick." Silas whispers to me.
I nod my head and watch the girl sit across from Silas, "Hi." I offer her a small smile.
"Hi." She offers back.
Aaron turns to her, "Sorry for you being singled out like that, and I am Aaron."
She smiles, and she has perfect white teeth, "I'm Ricki."
I feel Silas hit me in the ribs, and breaks my concentration on Ricki, "What?" I whisper harshly to him.
"You like her!" he accuses me.
"I don't know her!" I whisper back.
"Boys, I am right here, and you can't whisper very good." She says looking at me.
I can feel my cheeks get really red; I just shoot Silas a mean look.
(Braiden's POV)
I was hoping I had one class with my boyfriend, but so far I have had none at all! It pretty much bummed me out. I have athletics next, which I am kind of glad for. Since I am going to run cross country this year, the coach will just have us on the practice trail.
I'm standing at my locker, putting my jeans away after I have changed into my basketball shorts to run in, when I hear a little snicker, so I look over and who else would it be other than Jon.
"I'm surprised you keep someone like Chasen impressed." He says looking me up and down.
"You're just upset that you can't even get a second glance coming from him." I retort.
He moves closer to me, "So baby daddy got jokes huh?"
I close my locker and look at him, "I don't have time for your shit. Jon I haven't had the best day and I would appreciate it you would fuck off."
"What if I don't?" He asks.
I get up closer to him, "Jon, I will take you down and you know I can. Now lets be civil and you stop while you are ahead."
"Don't underestimate me Braiden, I will hurt you." He says.
We are nose to nose now; I don't understand him at all. "What the hell is your issue with trying to screw with me and my boyfriend?
He laughs, "Easy, you have it all. I want to see you fall, and I'm going to do just that."
I look at him like he is insane, "Dude you need some mental help."
He laughs as he pushes me back into my locker, "Yeah that road doesn't seem to help me."
I shove him back, "Jon don't start this shit." I warn him.
He puts his arm across my throat, and leans in, "But sweetie we are just getting started." He says with a wild gleam in his eyes.
He pushes his forearm harder in my throat and pushes off me and walks away, I take a gasping breath and curse. I hit the lock and sit down on the bench, I'm not even going to tell Chasen about this I don't need him worrying over some lunatic.
So I tried to get to know Jake, in home room class. Of course the kid was on the defense he knew I would be asking simple questions, and the sad thing was he didn't say anything worth telling Chasen about. Just seems like a kid that is lonely and is going through a rough patch at home other than that he seems pretty cool.
I mean I understand Chasen, wants to see if he is interested in Aaron, and if that's the case to see if he is going to end up hurting Aaron, but I think that he should just let it be. School is now in and Aaron is well Aaron. Funny, goofy, inappropriate, and just has this air about him that people want to be around, I just hope he will let go of the fragile boy act.
I shake my head, I need to just get out of this locker room and get to the trail and run my ass off I am sick of this stress right now. I head out of the locker room into the bright sunny California day. I smile because I know this run will do me some good.
Thank you everyone for the wait, I know it has been a long time, but here it is. I am going to be mentioning more of Braiden and Chasen spending time with Ian, that and more of Lexie in the next few chapters.
So what are the thoughts on the Jon character, what's his intentions how far will he go? What do you think of the Kyle POV? What do you think of Jake, is Aaron falling for him. How about Silas? Comments are always welcome!
Hey guys, Sorry for the delay. Life sometimes gets in the way. I'm very intrigued with Silas and Jon... It will be very interesting to see what happens.... How is Chasen going to react if he finds out about Jon and Braiden's confrontation in the locker room? What's going to happen with Jake and Aaron? Will Kevin and Caroline find out about Kyle's health slowly decreasing?
Can't wait for the next installment!
