William is at Theo's door at 7:20 am. He hadn't even taken a bath and had dressed in the first thing he'd picked up. He knocks on Theo's door, and hears nothing.
He knocks on the door harder, not caring if he wakes up any students in the apartments next door.
A shuffling noise is heard, and a few seconds later, Theo opens the door.
What William sees in front of him makes him immediately realize that Theo already knew what had happened. In front of him was a boy who seemed to have aged 10 years, red and puffy eyes from which tears fell like rivers, a body that shuddered with each sob, a pajama that looked more like something out of a cat fight.
When Theo looks at William, he drops to his knees.
William did not open his mouth. He puts his hands under Theo's armpits and forces him off the ground. Closing the door, he drags Theo to the couch, sits down beside him and lets him fall against his chest, soaking his thin shirt.
After a few minutes, W
- Hello, I'm Theodore Hanson, Sebastian's boyfriend.- I know - she says hugging him.- Hanna – Chaterine says, calling her daughter as she advances towards her, followed by the other 3.- Ignore my mother. She has no notion of the reality of life. - Hanna says, softly into Theo's ear.- Boy, Theodore, what are you doing here? - Chaterine coldly asks Theo.- Mom, if you don't have anything useful to say, keep quiet, says Hanna angrily.- Don't talk to me in that tone, girl.Theo doesn't answer, and returns to the position he had before.- He doesn't do anything here. He is not family. By the way, none of you are family - she says, stretching her finger and pointing to Alex, William and Nancy.Alex frowns and pulls on the straps for the first time in a long time.- Mrs. Jones, please close your clapper and sit down, if you don't want me to use my family's influence to stop you from entering the stores that yo
Theo wakes up in a hospital bed and doesn't remember how he got there. They had put an IV in his arm and let him rest. When straining his memory he remembers what the doctor said, his eyes filled with tears.Nancy opens the bedroom door slowly, so as not to wake Theo, and when she sees him sitting on the bed crying, she runs to hug him.- Theo, Sebastiam needs you strongly. If you stay in that state, he doesn't feel your strength pulling him back to life.- Nancy, I'm going to lose him. I just found him and I'm going to lose him.- He's not going anywhere. Stop crying - she says, grabbing him by the shoulders. - I'll call the doctor. You will rise up from this bed and you will be strong. For you and for him. I know that you are very young, but I also know that you are capable.Theo nods and Nancy leaves the room for a moment, returning with a nurse and the doctor.- How are you feeling boy? You scared me a lot. – the surgeon says.He decided to stay and assist Theo.- I'm fine - Theo
When William arrives the next morning, he's not surprised that Theo wanted to go to Cornell with him and Nancy.He says goodbye to Sebastian, and then says goodbye to Alex and Hanna, who promise to give them news as they get it.The return journey was made in silence, and when displeased, William left Theo at home, it was already lunch time.Theo goes up to the apartment, goes in and undresses. It goes underwater and begins to cry compulsively, releasing sobs and screams of pain and frustration. He sits on the floor and lets the hot water fall over him.After more time than he could imagine, he gets out of the shower and turns off the water. Without drying his body, he puts on some underwear and lies on his back on the bed looking at the ceiling.He hadn't slept the night before. He'd spent time watching Sebastian, but he hadn't gotten a shred of sleep.He stood in that position, illuminated by the sunlight that entered through the window, a
It had been 8 days since the accident and it was Friday night again. Alex sent a message every day, in the morning and at evening, informing him of Sebastian's status, which was always the same. Theo's answer was also always the same; silence. Alex knew that he had read the W******p messages because they appeared read. He also received news from William that Theo continued to go to school and training and then shut himself up at home, as if he were a zombie.They were both worried about him, but the only thing they could do was wait for Sebastian to wake up.Theo had come into the house as soon as school was over. Everyone who knew him thought he looked strange. The coach gave him a lecture because he thought he'd been eating badly and losing strength, including, in the next game, he was going to be on the bench. The only two friends he had couldn't get him to go out for a simple coffee. Nancy and William couldn't even get him to come over to the house to eat. He wasn't doing anything
The paparazzi rush to the motorbike, but don't know whether to follow the ambulance or go to William's house. He makes a decision and, after starting the bike, he only stops when he arrives at the door of Sebastiam's former dean.He slams the door and William opens it. As soon as William sees him, the first thing he thinks is to close the door, but something on the boy's face makes him hesitate.- Sorry to bother you, but Theo is in the hospital.- What happened? - William asks.- He tried to kill himself.- What? - Shouts Nancy, opening the door fully.- Theo cut his wrist, and I think he took pills too.- How do you know all this?- I found it strange that he came into the house and didn't turn on the light, as he always does. After a long time, I couldn't stand it. I entered the building and went to knock on the door. He didn't answer, so as the door wasn't locked, I went in and saw him lying on the floor, losing blood from his wrist and unconscious. I called an ambulance. When the
Theo stays in the hospital for a day. The doctors wanted to see how he reacted, and left him discharged, but because he agreed to go to William's house for a few days.He lay in bed, discouraged, and no matter how much people tried to cheer him up, it seemed like nothing would work. He missed the game, and the coach was furious. The strategy was made with him in mind, but the coach goes to visit Theo at William's house, more concerned about his health than the game.- Don't worry about the game, boy. We won. The important thing is that you get better soon. I need you on the team.Theo waves and the coach ends up giving up and leaving the room. He sat on William's couch and shook his head. He wouldn't have been able to make Theo react. The boy was not well.- If Sebastian doesn't wake up quickly, I don't know what will happen. –William says. - Looks like this poor guy doesn't get a day off.- How is Sebastian? - the coach asked.- The same. The doctors say they don't know why he won't
Alex uses the GPS to Cornell and William's house. He had been waiting for him but hadn't said anything to Theo.- Welcome Alex, how is Sebastian?- Thank God, he's finally awake. Apart from the bones, it's fine. And Theo?- Physically, recovering well. Mentally, a wreck.There's a knock at the door, and William frowns.- Did you bring anyone else?- No. - Alex replies.William goes to the door and sees the boy who had saved Theo.- Sorry to bother you, I wanted to know how Theo is doing.Alex sees the camera and goes crazy.- Get out of here. There are no photos or comments for you here. Out.William has to hold Alex, who wants to throw himself at the boy. Theo, who hears the screams, appears, peeking at the bedroom door. He had a pitiful appearance, red and puffy eyes, big circles under it, disheveled hair, and scruffy pajamas.He looks at Alex in astonishment. What was he doing there?- Alex?- Theo, how are you? - Alex asks, still held by William.- I'm sorry, my name is Paul. Can
Nancy packed a suitcase for Theo while he showered and got dressed. She leaves his suitcase at the bedroom door and asks him if he wants to take anything else with him. Theo shakes his head, saying no, and goes to sit next to Alex, Paul and William. Nancy joins them.- Theo, I'm glad you made the right decision. – Paul says, smiling.- I don't know if it's the right decision. If something happens to Sebastian, I won't forgive myself.- Don't be stupid Theo. With you by his side, nothing will happen. Your love is so beautiful. I would like to find a love like yours. I gave up on love a long time ago. All the men who approached me only wanted to use me. That's why I only live to photograph.- However, you didn't take photos of Theo in the last few days, and you would have had the exclusive. Why? – William asks.- I started to admire Theo. He's still young, he's been through a lot, but unlike me, he had the head to study. I will have a lot of future chances to take his picture.Theo lift
- Don't run around the house. – Theo shouts to the twins. After withdrawing himself at the age of 28, after a brilliant lacrosse career, with several championships won and several best of the year awards, Theo began working side by side with Sebastian. A few months after their wedding, they decided to look for a surrogate and were now the proud parents of a 4-year-old girl and boy who wouldn't sit still. Sebastian and Theo gave unconditional love to the two little ones, without spoiling them, and making them realize that life is hard and that we must always fight for what we want. Nothing truly good falls from the sky into our hands. Paul and Alex also had a son, a 3-year-old boy, who looked incredibly similar to the senator. Every time he saw his grandson he said that he was going to be the future president of the United States. Unfortunately, the old nanny died and was unable to care for the little one, but she met him on her deathbed. It was a very sad day, but Tina died with a
Time flies quickly, even when you spend the week alone. Videocalls help a lot, and some sexphones spiced up even more the desire that will be satisfied every weekend. Theo was in his last year of college and already had an invitation to play for New York Chrome in the PLL. Sebastian encouraged Theo to accept. He had passed Hanson's company into Theo's name, putting the family company in the hands of an "Hanson", again, but Theo would not manage it personally. It was not located close by and a career in lacrosse was not compatible. Between the two of them, it was decided that as soon as he finished college, they would get married and Theo would dedicate himself to Lacrosse, at least until he retired. Then it would soon be decided what he would do next, but Sebastian wanted him to work alongside him. Paul, who now worked at Sebastian's company, had become one of the most sought-after photographers. However, 1 year after Sebastian asked Theo to marry him, Alex takes Paul on a 2-month
The weeks were spent studying and playing lacrosse. The team had won the title and the coach said that the team owed him a lot, even with all the initial interruptions. The grades were excellent, as Theo didn't go to parties, he just studied. At most, I would drink coffee with the few, but good, friends I had.The weekends were spent with Sebastian, most of the time, in bed.He had spent the summer holidays in New York, and now, after almost a year, Christmas, was in Sebastian's new house, twice the size of the previous apartment.A huge aquarium, next to the door, contained some rare fish which Sebastian had bought again.Sebastian spent Thanksgiving at Cornell, with Theo, Alex and Paul. Hanna had a new boyfriend. This time someone humble but who deserved her. Sebastian made a point of investigating him without his sister knowing. She had gone to spend the holiday at her boyfriend's parents' house.Christmas was the first celebration in Sebastian's new house. Hanna and her boyfriend,
Major Taylor was the assistant of a 4-star general, but she was also excellent at working as a field agent for that agency. She was ambitious, and although that service was secret and would not appear in her CV, she knew that she would become even more in the General's good graces. A promotion to lieutenant colonel could be in her near future and could be tied to the success of that investigation.She contacts Bob.- Commander How are things at NOSS?“Manjor Taylor, do not come asking for anything that is not supported by official orders.”- Damn Bob, I thought we were friends. Who do you take me for?“Elena, I know you well. Since when did aviation contact the navy to get together?”- Now Bob, that's prejudice. There's no harm in fraternizing. We are not from the same command.She almost saw Bob rolling his eyes and hid her laughter.“Just out of curiosity, what did you want from me this time?”- I needed access to the satellites.“Are you crazy? Do you want me to be taken to the mil
Thomson gets up from his desk where he was sitting and goes to the window. For Senator Carter to call him personally to ask for something, that means something serious must happen. If there was one thing that had never happened before, it was Carter asking him for a favor. He had never before attempted to use Thomson's position for personal gain.- What can I do for you?- I hate to ask you this… let me explain the case to you. My son is in bad shape. I hate the reason why he's like this, but he's my only son and...- What's wrong with my godson?- He fell madly in love.- It was about time, don't you think? - Thomson says, laughing - and is that a problem? Who is she? Is she married? A criminal?- The problem is that it's not a she. Alex is in love with a man. Never in my life did I imagine this could happen.- Calm down Carter. This is no longer a problem nowadays. Even military personnel can now be gay. You can thank that to Obama.- I didn't want this for Alex, but I don't want to
Edmund, or rather Daniel, with the money he made from selling the business he inherited, had made big plans. He buys, without seeing it, a small farm in Colville Lake, NT, Canada, and plans to kidnap Paul and move there. In the middle of nowhere, and where, the warm months barely reached 59ºF, and when the temperature dropped, if they were lucky, it would be -35ºF, Paul wouldn't have the slightest chance of escaping. In Daniel's mind, Paul would eventually accept the truth. Accept that he is the only one he loves, and together they will stay there, until the end of their lives. Now all that was left was to figure out how to get Paul into the car and leave. Those rich people wouldn't let go of him, especially Alex, who must pay well for Paul to have the courage to let him fuck him. Paul never had very high standards. For money he would fuck anything. This always made Daniel go crazy with jealousy. He has an idea. He felt very smart on this one. He would call Paul, disguising his voi
- I like that you trust me, and tell me your past, but what does that have to do with Edmund?- Edmund is not Daniel, but when he was there screaming and hitting Hanna, I swear it was Daniel I saw. I don't know if it's my imagination due to the similarity of the gestures, but I almost swear that that was Daniel.- It must be because of the beast's attitude. If he were the Daniel of your past, you would recognize him when you first saw him,- You must be right. But I felt weird about all this.Daniel, now Edmund, had been walking since he left Theo's house. He talked to himself like a crazy person.- Sons of bitches. How can they think they can treat people this way? Just because they are rich. Mather Fuckers. And that useless Hanna, that I hate to fuck. I have to imagine that she is Paul. Instead of doing what she can, to help me get what I want. He hides behind his brother. Bunch of faggots. Two more hetros who, in the end, are gays, just to fuck younger people's asses. And Paul, tha
When Edmond sees Paul and Alex leave the office half an hour after entering, and notices how their lips are swollen, anger and jealousy take over him. He gets up and tells Hanna they are going back to New York.- Are you crazy? You drink and it's less than 20 minutes until midnight.- Don't call me crazy. If you want to come with me, come. If you don't want to, then go with whoever you want. I'm leaving.- What's up? – Sebastian asked, Now more sober, due to the time that had passed and the conversation he had heard.- You have nothing to do with it. Do I interfere in your life?-Edmond? – Hanna shouts, afraid that this would turn into a fight.- How old are you, boy? 25? 23? Act like it. How are you going to get back to New York at this time? You came in Alex's car, and he's not going anywhere.- May I help? – Alex says, groping Paul's ass.If Edmond was already furious, now he was almost possessed by the devil.- I don't need a ride from anyone. Much less this one there. – he says,
Roast pork that smelled divine, lots of side dishes, ham, cheese, sweets and pies that were enough for 15 people, but would only serve 8 people, assorted drinks and juices, coca-cola, eggnog, fruits and nuts, were on an improvised table in the middle of the room. All the furniture had been dragged aside, and Theo's “family” was all together to celebrate the beginning of a new year, which everyone hoped would be better and less stressful.Theo and Sebastian welcome Hana and her suspicious boyfriend. Sek also joined them. Alex and Paul accompanied Alex's old nanny, so she wouldn't be watching television alone.Everyone sat down to dinner when it was still 7 o'clock in the afternoon. Theo and Sebastian received great praise.They were very good cooks.Among everyone present, Sek joked about being the only single person and asked Alex's old nanny to be his girlfriend for the nigth, as she was also alone. The old nanny called the boy crazy, but was happy for the attention, while Paul was th
