Chapter. 21.******The weekend soon approached and yet no news about Louis. Dylon had had very little sleep, and when it came, it was out of pure exhaustion and even less to eat. He could barely stop crying, holding back his tears for when he was alone, trying to not break down in front of his friends and classmates or before his family. He had tried to find any news about where they had flown Louis to but none was forthcoming.The day after the comforting conversation with his family, they went to school and he had cut it off with Vera who for some reason didn't accept the breakup but it didn't even bother Dylon. He was more concerned for Louis and desperate to hear news about him. It's been three days since that accident. Keller had told him that two cops visited his house and asked him a couple of questions about Levon, even Dalton confirmed it as he too has had his own visit from the cops.Owen, who was friends with Levon, had actually picked a fight with him yesterday at school,
Chapter. 22.******Once the car drove into the parking lot, Dylon was jumping out and headed straight for the entrance. He didn't even hear his father calling for him to slow down for the rest of them. He walked like a man on a mission, one who clearly knows his surroundings and where his target is located. At that particular moment, he didn't want his mother, father, or sister. He wanted Louis.His heart teetered on the edge, ready to fall off a cliff and into an ocean of pain at the thought of Levon and what he could be going through. The detective had said he had fallen into a coma now that frightened him more than he ever thought anything would his entire life. The thought of never seeing Louis again was one he dreaded. And it was all his fault.He had brought this upon them. Upon Louis.He walked shakily to the door, heart still slamming against his chest so hard he swears everyone within a five-mile radius could hear it, and the second he gets inside he was struck with a s
Chapter. 23.******When he finally got the nerve to open the door, the room was exactly what he had expected. Plain, neat, and smelled of chemicals that made his nose burn and his eyes water slightly. His eyes scanned the grey walls and the pieces of furniture, trying to avoid landing in the center of the room where he knew his lover was lying. Eventually, he couldn't avoid it any longer and he lets them fall to Levon's limp form tucked under the pristine white sheets and what looked like at least a hundred blankets. Levon looked like a mannequin, a life-sized doll of some sort in that bed. He looked so pale, so still and lifeless. The white sheets surrounding him only worsened the paleness of his skin, so much that he would almost look like a ghost, were it not for the dark bags underneath his eyes. His mouth parted slightly as his head lay back against the pillow behind him. He thought he had cried enough but the tears that began to roll down his cheeks this time were like a river
Chapter. 24.******"I'm sorry," he cries, still clawing desperately at Levon's arm. He thought he felt his finger move but it could be his own imagination tricking him. "I'm so sorry, I-'' he's hyperventilating, unable to force oxygen into his lungs through his broken pleading, but he doesn't stop. He couldn't; he's hysterical now, and he needs his lover to open his eyes. "Please... Please, wake up, Louis." He doesn't. His eyes stayed closed, his body stayed deathly still, and Dylon stayed crying over him like his tears would magically undo all the pain he had inflicted on his lover. Like they would somehow take back all the things he had said and done. Like they would wake Levon up.They won't. He knows that, but it doesn't stop him from soaking the thin fabric of Levon's hospital gown with the river pouring from his eyes, and it doesn't stop his pleading. He kept crying over his lover and nothing anyone with him said could get him to stop and they all tired seeing as his pain was
Chapter. 25.******Vera's heels clicked on the ground beneath her as she strides down the sidewalk, feeling soaked from hate and frustration from the way Dylon had treated her. She could see her reflection out the corner of her eyes in the shop windows, a bright pink crop-top with matching lipstick. She foams in anger. How could he treat her that way but what annoyed her more was the fact that that idiot had missed the target.How hard could it be to take someone down?That fool and she had even fucked him as payment. She went dirty on a complete dweeb for nothing. She had wanted Levon gone so she could have Dylon's focus directed completely on her, but it backfired majorly. She knows she would have to kick it into high gear in order to draw Dylon's love and attention back to her. Levon thinks he has won this round, no, far from it. She always finds her way around. The only mystery in HillsBay is her and no one dares catch up to that mystery. She would destroy Levon, for making Dylon
Chapter. 26.******She thought they were supposed to be best friends. Why would she want to speak to her brother in private? Maybe because she had arrived at the hospital without telling her. She had left them all at school so she could be here in time and even with all her effort, a nurse had gone to get Dylon who for some reason didn't show up until his sister appeared and now she's trying to take him away again.The hospital was unusually empty, there weren't many people visiting that afternoon, and the few that were had already entered their loved ones' rooms, leaving the hallways mostly empty except for the nurses rushing around. Vera doesn't particularly like hospitals. The strange quietness of the building doesn't really help her apprehension, as it leaves the hospital feeling like the setting of horror movies more than anything else. She didn't care about the people who had ended up in this place nor did she care about the one she knew was in a coma but she was after the one
Chapter. 27.*********~~***A very painful smile tugged at Danny's lips and his heart ran cold. He shook his head and walked away calmly shutting the door behind him, giving them their privacy.He has just one safe place and he sought his way towards his home office. He had just made it down the hall when he heard Louis and another stranger whispering among themselves. "What do you mean, we can't carry on with the plans anymore?" JC fired angrily. "I put my ass on the line for this shit and you're backing down at the last minute?" "JC for fucks sake, shut up and listen!" Louis bawled and Danny was taken aback by the tone of his voice. "Danny was nearly raped by someone I just heard is his half-brother, do you fucking have any idea how devastated he is right now?" "There is no better time for him to know the truth than now. Your mother and that Vince guy are probably fucking their brains out as we speak and your father can't be kept in the dark anymore, he has to know the truth, yo
Chapter. 28.******Another restless night went by with Dylon by his lover's side, his hands still gripping tightly to those of the unconscious boy and Dylon endured his constant groans while Levon slept. It was a sound that often breaks the little hanging piece of sanity he still holds and each time his lover groans in agony, Dylon feels his guilt flare up, a reminder of how badly he had messed up. He's tried to do all he could, day and night in an attempt to provide his lover with even just a small amount of serenity as he sleeps unconsciously of the world and of him who had broken him and had left him for dead. The past few days had been hell and he had refused to leave that bedside from unfounded fear that Levon might cease to exist if he took his eyes off of him. He'd taken shorter naps at nights and none at all during the day and he was always found sitting in the same chair he'd sat in from the first day he had arrived, with his head resting on Levon's legs and hand still inte
Chapter: 86.*******"You moved on pretty nicely without her didn't you, DJ, then once you realized Louis and Danny had returned you got happier, moving on with life and Mika was just a figment of your imagination she never existed right?" "That is not true! I left my current address in my letters, I desperately wanted to reconnect with her. She told me she got married, she was happy, she had kids even before I had mine--" "Lies, all lies, my mother never married, she got pregnant with me just like her mother did with Louis thus fate repeated itself through mother and child. Grandma was never supportive of her, she considered her ill-fated and she was only allowed anything only if she abided by their rules, doing only what they expected of her but not a day went by that she didn't keep your stories alive!""Not a day goes by that I don't think about her too!" DJ told the boy but he didn't believe him. "We all do. We love her. He loved her most!" He yelled pointing towards Danny. "Wh
Chapter: 85.*******"I remember." He whispered."What?" "He is telling the truth. I remember his words. The water, everything. He was there to help." Pressing Louis's right hand to his forehead, he spoke calmly. "I can have you see it through me if you still doubt it. You probably didn't see it before because I didn't remember it." Louis sighed. If Danny said it's the truth then the idiot was actually telling the truth. But, damn, he's gotta be like the dumbest person he's ever seen."Danny believes you and so do I," Louis said and saw Denis exhale. "Thanks for helping him." He clasped the boy softly on the shoulder. "And I'm sorry for nearly knocking you out." "So, this means Dalton is behind this whole mess after all. He sold you into that bitch's trap. How low!" Keller seethed. "Who would have thought…" Owen whispered. He's always considered the boy cute and harmless. "He was with us all that time and didn't say anything knowing damn well where you were!" "God, I wanna hurt h
Chapter: 84.*******"Hello, Louis." The young man turned to find JC with Arthur behind him. "Well, I was starting to wonder when you two would show up." "I'm sorry, I had a little delay at the court, but all is settled now." "Grab a glass, DJ is about to make a toast, we have been waiting for you two." "Excuse me," all three men turned to find DJ behind them. "I have something for you." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a box, handing it over to Louis he hugged the boy. "I kept it nice and safe." "Thank you, brother." He clasped his hand tightly around DJ and the man wasn't without a smile. "Let's toast." Louis nodded and walked away to find his lover."Hey, baby." He kissed Danny once he found him amidst the small crowd and the other smiled. "Hey yourself." "Gather around… Gather around everyone!" DJ called, a silver fork clinking against the champagne flute he held in his right hand and they all moved closer forming a circle. "It's been a long awful year. A lot of t
Chapter: 83.*******The court case had lasted longer than they had all expected, Vera was mentally evaluated after her records evidence was played and relief flooded their faces once she wasn't found mentally unbalanced. She had murdered Jenny Jean while she was a minor but due to the brutality of her action she got trailed as an adult. She was convicted of several charges in addition to murder, so she got a separate sentence for each additional charge ending in her twenty-five to life but there was still very little to hold her father for and JC didn't like that bit. Call him cruel, he knew the father supported his daughter and aided all her evil plots even providing her with the means to carry out those plots. He should be getting what comes to him but there was very little provided. But, he lost his political chase and got five years. Steaming in anger, JC drove both him and Arthur down the lonely road, they were both headed for the nearby restaurant for what was supposed to be th
Chapter: 82.******"How are you feeling, baby?"How do you think I'm feeling, jerk?He wanted to snap back at him but he paused his lips instead and nodded towards the man. His hand ceased the motion to grab another bottle as he got even closer. Owen walked over to the younger man, his dark eyes glinting and a sly smile crossing his lips. "So, did you have fun this morning?""You're a jackass," Keller claimed and reached up to lift the collar of his turtleneck. "I'm going to have to wear ridiculous things while this heals."Owen's eyes traced the marks and he flicked his tongue out over his lips. "Why hide them? It'll let everyone know you're off the market."Keller shivered at the ravenous expression on the other's face. "Dylon knows I'm yours and I'm sure even Levon is aware from the way he looked at me this morning, he is your best friend, after all, give it today and everyone will know.""As it should be from here on," Owen retorted possessively. He slipped his arm around the yo
Chapter: 81.******Wrapping the plastic band around the erect dick took some doing, the length of it becoming incredibly hard and then suddenly flaccid as Keller reacted to the pain to the point where he was overwhelmed by it. One metal ring attached to the band, and the other went around his balls, then the combination lock secured the rings together so that neither could be removed.The intruder stroked Keller's cock, enjoying the whimpers that escaped the young man. He gripped his hair and pulled his head up as he bent over him. His mouth pressed to the exposed neck."Yes, please..." Keller hissed, baring his neck as lips and then teeth grazed his flesh. He moaned, then hissed again, "yes," as the intruder bit down. It was not hard enough to break skin, but it was a claiming, marking bite.The intruder licked him once more and stood, gathering up his bag in silence. Before leaving the room he released Keller's left hand. He knew it would take the young man a while to fully free hi
Chapter: 80.******The alarm clock on the nightstand blinked, 2:15 am. It was a warm night, the blankets had been kicked away into a tangled mess sometime earlier and the young man that lay on the bed wore only a threadbare pair of sweatpants. He was on his side, asleep and facing the wall with a peaceful expression. He was exhausted, he didn't go to bed until late at night, filled with thoughts about Dalton and all they heard from that audio, it was a lot too much, and even as plain as it was that Dalton had betrayed both Levon and Dylon, it was just too much to settle in. He wanted to hate the boy for going to that extreme but just like Dylon, he couldn't hate him, not without an explanation of why he had done such a terrible thing to his friend. They considered themselves brothers given they have been friends since childhood. How can you hate someone like that?They've been through so much together in the past, it seems whatever madness drove him intensified since Levon's return
Chapter: 79.******Once the audio had finished playing, all was speechless and without a word. Nothing could have prepared them for what they've just listened to. JC didn't seem so surprised since he had listened to the audio a couple of times before coming out but it didn't make it any less hurtful when he saw the flashes of pain cross both Keller and Dylon's eyes, he saw them holding back tears the deeper they went into the recording. "None of this makes sense." Keller snapped getting onto his feet and began pacing. "Why wasn't it among the ones sent to all of us? Why did you get this especially? Most of all, who made these damn videos and recordings?" "Maybe someone who knew about Dalton being a lying bastard and--" Keller was neck-locking Owen the second he called Dalton that and Dylon was beside him in a flash, his eyes bloody and ready to attack and the other men had to get into position as they wouldn't want a fight to break out amongst them."Call him that one more fucking
Chapter: 78.*****Eternity may have passed with both men locked together like that, breathing and coming down slowly from their highs. "I love you too," Danny whispered, remembering he hadn't returned it when Louis said it before. Louis smiled, "How are you feeling?" Danny shoved him away from on top of him and while Louis stumbled to the other side of the bed his cock painfully slipped out from Danny erupting moans and ripples after ripples of shivers from the friction. "Sensitive and so fucking sore, you're a beast!" He whined when he had calmed down a little, Louis couldn't stop laughing. "Next time, be careful what you wish for." "If I didn't love you too much I swear I would be smacking that smirk out of your face." "Thank you for loving me then, but hey, I wouldn't mind at all, I love your pain." Louis winked and Danny took back what he had just said as he smacked him hard on the chest but Louis moaned instead. Danny stilled, his eyes locked onto his lover and he smacked
