Chapter 24
(Epilogue)
DEDICATION: This has been an incredible journey. I've met some wonderful
people and well, right now I'm going thru a very bad phase and have stopped
writing to most of them. That doesn't mean I don't love them anymore, it's just
that my life and head are very messed up. To all my friends, Dara, Red, Joie,
Ja, Pen, Carmen, Donna, Jamaal, Aphrodite, Aylex, Ted, Bryan and Cody. And to
the man who just stays on my mind night and day, words are not enough... to
my Josh.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Justin thought this was a sick joke one of his friends was trying to play on
him. He laughed.
"Oh, yeah? Why?"
"Possession of illegal drugs"
"What the fuck?"
He turned around and was about to leave, when one of the officers grasped
his arm roughly and then both wrists so he could handcuff him.
"You've got to be kidding me"
"Mr. Timberlake, you have the right to remain silent..." and the officer
went on reading him his rights.
By now Justin wanted to cry. A crowd of students had formed and were
watching him get arrested. One of the officers showed him a bag full of
drugs which
he said had been found in his trunk.
"Quite a stash, huh? There's word you've been distributing this stuff here"
"No! I swear I never did something like that!"
"Save it for the court, kiddo"
They took him to a car and made him sit in the back. Then they took him to
their headquarters. The men didn't seem nice at all. It seemed like this was
more than a simple arrest.
"So, you're one of those rich spoiled kids?"
Justin just stared at the man.
"Yeah, you think you can get away with everything... and you sell drugs
making others fall into them. You're a scum"
"I don't sell drugs!"
"We have at least two witnesses who will declare in court that you do"
"What? Who are they?"
"I don't know. They ratted on you this morning, you should pick your
customers more carefully"
One of the men seemed to be unable to keep his hands away from Justin, he
had been grasping him the whole ride and still held him. He got a little
closer
behind him and rubbed his crotch against Justin's back. Justin's hands felt
the man's bulge.
"Hey! Watch it!" cried Justin.
"Do you think he's got any drugs on him?" The man asked the others.
"Could be... why don't you find out?" suggested one of the others.
That was all it took. The man began feeling Justin up from head to toe.
Spending a particularly long time on his butt and crotch.
"This is sexual abuse and against the law!" whined Justin squirming under
the man's touch.
The third man came up to him and slapped him.
"Shut up, you dickless wimp. You're in no position to complain."
"Let's go ahead and strip search him... don't know where these punks hide
their stuff"
They yanked the clothes off him. By now he was sobbing loudly and wishing he
had never messed with his step-brother. He knew this was all his work.
One of the men made him bend on the table and slapped his ass with force.
"Yeow!"
"Let's see what we have here... cute butthole" said the man spreading
Justin's cheeks.
Putting on a glove, he stuck his middle finger up Justin's ass in one
thrust.
Justin screamed and tried to get away, but there was nowhere to go.
The man enjoyed finger fucking Justin for a while. He took out his cock and
placed it between Justin's buns, slowly rubbing them.
"Man, this ass is fine... wouldn't mind getting a piece"
"You better not, " said one of the others. "That would let him prove what
was done here."
"We'll have to wait till he's in jail"
"Damn... ok, but I've got dibs"
"We'll have to flip, " chuckled the third. "But you're sure getting fucked
by the three of us, punk"
"And keep this to yourself. You don't want to mess with us"
Justin was crying, knowing he couldn't do a thing to save himself and
wishing someone would help him. When they finally let him go to make his
phone
call, he called his father's office and explained he was in big trouble.
In less than an hour, a herd of lawyers was there to get him out. Still, he
had to stay the whole night, praying those men wouldn't come back or someone
else would hurt him. Justin's father never showed up as much as he prayed.
For a moment he wished to go to jail but then remembered what would happen
to
him if he did.

Josh looked like he hadn't been sleeping for a month. Rick wasn't much
better. He tried to talk to Josh but he would never let him.
The end of the year was near and Rick decided to go to Germany with his
father. Unknown to him, Josh had decided to move back to Maryland.
Rick's friend, Michel saw Josh sitting in the library alone and went to sit
in front of him.
"Hey, I need to tell you something"
Josh stared at him.
"If this is about Rick, I don't want to hear it" and he started to get up.
Michel grabbed Josh's wrist and make him sit down again.
"Listen, just let me talk for a couple of minutes."
Josh frowned but stayed there.
"Look, you only heard Justin's part of the story... I may not be the nicest
person and neither is Rick sometimes, but he's my best friend and I want him
to be happy."
"Don't worry, he'll be happy after I'm gone to Maryland"
"See, that's exactly why you need to hear me out. He will leave for Germany
too soon"
"Oh"
"You may not realize just how important you are to him"
"Would you treat someone special to you like he did? Like a piece of meat or
some sort of throphy? My ass was his trophy"
"No, no... you don't know everything. First, the whole bet thing was
Justin's idea. But I agree that Rick shouldn't have played along"
"It doesn't matter anymore whose idea it was"
"Ok, I'll agree with that too. But Justin didn't even want you, he always
wanted to fuck Rick. When he realized that Rick liked you, he said he would
seduce you first just for fun. Then he proposed the bet"
"I still think it was fucked up of both"
"Look, I won't tell you that Rick is an angel... I know that he has done bad
things in the past and I've been there to help him the whole time."
"So what's the point of this discussion?"
"I just want you to know that you changed his life. I never saw him care for
anyone, I know he thinks of you day and night. Man, he loves you! Doesn't
that matter at all?"
Josh's eyes teared up.
"Do you know how the bet was called off?"
"No"
"He let Justin fuck him just so he would stay away from you. And when Justin
asked him to fuck him he threw him out of the room. Before knowing you,
those two things would never have happened."
"I don't know if I'll ever be able to forgive him"
"I know it's hard, but think about it. You and him deserve a second chance.
Looking at you I can tell you love him just as much. Don't let anyone or
anything stand between you"
"Well, I'll think about it. Thanks for your concern" said Josh as he left.
---
Two weeks later, Rick was getting ready to leave. He would fly to Europe
that same night and the driver had all the luggage loaded in the car.
They got to the airport and Rick was waiting at the gate, all sad and
dejected.
The passengers began boarding and when he got up, he felt a hand on his
shoulder.
"Rick"
He turned around and saw the face that he thought he would never see again.
"Josh!"
"I, um..."
Rick kneeled before Josh.
"Please forgive me"
Josh started crying.
"I forgive you, silly. Don't leave me"
Josh helped Rick to stand up.
"Could this be true, Josh? Will you give me a second chance?"
"We deserve a second chance, Rick"
"I love you so much, Josh"
"I love you too"
They kissed and embraced right there, not caring about anything else.
This day was the beginning of their new life.
THE END
*****
Gotta find a way
Yeah I can't wait another day
Ain't nothin' gonna change
if we stay 'round here
Gotta do what it takes
'Cuz it's all in our hands
We all make mistakes
But it's never too late to start again
Take another breath
and say another prayer
And fly away from here
Anywhere, yeah I don't care
We just fly away from here
Our hopes and dreams are out there somewhere
Won't let time pass us by
We'll just fly
