I wanna know what love is -- Chp 2
"Hello son"
"It's been a while, almost three months to be exact"
"I know Jules and I'm sorry, I've been a terrible father and you can't hate me any more then I hate myself"
"Well what you do want now"
"I know I don't deserve to ask, but I just wanted know how your first day of school went"
"Same ol same ol"
"Look Jules, I know I should be there with you, I have another assignment to go on but I promise I'll be home by Halloween. You have my word"
"Whatever you say dad" Jules said, irritated with the conversation he was having with his father "I have to go" and with that he hung up. He hadn't wanted to think about the absence of his father, he had been putting it in the back of his mind since the day he left. He didn't want to hate him, he adored his father but he was definitely pissed that he would just up and leave then call after two and a half months. He understood that his mother's death must have been just as hard on his father then it was on him, he just didn't know what to think about his father's actions at the moment.
After hanging up on his dad; the door bell rang. Jules sprinted to the door and by the time he got to the foyer he realized he was a little too anxious and decided to take a couple seconds to calm himself before answering the door. He looked through the peep hole and saw a bag with the McDonalds emblem being held in front of the face of whoever was on the other side of the door. Jules chuckled at what he saw before answering the door.
"I thought you could use some chicken McNuggets" DeMarco said with a smile "consider them payment for letting me use your notes" Jules laughed at him before stepping aside to allow DeMarco to enter.
"Holy shit this is a nice place" DeMarco said, looking around the massive marble and wood foyer with a winding staircase.
"Um, thanks I guess" Jules said shyly "Go on in the family room and I'll run up and grab the notes" He pointed the way to the family room before dashing up the steps to his large bedroom. His parents built an addition onto the house and their master bedroom was on the first floor off of his dad's study, so they gave Jules the upstairs master bedroom with all its amenities. He pulled his notes out of his desk and ran back downstairs.
When he entered the family room, he noticed DeMarco checking out all the family pictures that covered the walls and the mantle. DeMarco picked up a framed photo of Jules in elementary school from off the mantle and studied with a look of sadness in his eyes. Jules was now really starting to wonder what this guy's story was and why he was looking at his old photo like that.
"Here are the notes" Jules said, pulling DeMarco out of his sad thoughts. When he turned around to takes the notes from him, Jules noticed that DeMarco's eyes where kind of misty and red. "Are you ok" he asked.
"Yeah sure, I'm fine" but Jules could tell he wasn't fine. Usually he didn't care to want to get to know anyone, what would be the point since everyone treated him like a leper, but he thought before there was something different about DeMarco and since he was nice to him earlier, Jules decided he was going to try and be a friend now.
"I don't believe you, so why don't we go into the kitchen so I can eat the McNuggets your brought me and you can tell me what's up" Before giving DeMarco time to object, he snatched the nuggets out of his hands and walked into the kitchen and sat at the bar. He followed Jules in the kitchen and sat down next to him as Jules dug into the McDonalds bag. Jules noticed the uneasy look on his face.
"Can you tell me why you were crying over my picture" he asked straight to the point. Taken aback but his abruptness, DeMarco stammered before answering. "The photo reminded me of my little brother, he passed away last year"
"Oh my God, I'm sorry to hear that. We don't have to talk about it if you don't want to"
"No it's ok, I can talk about it" he said with a far away look in his eyes. Jules waited patiently for him to continue. "He was the reason I stopped that kid from punching you in the face today, because you reminded me so much of him. Him and I were very close, I took care of him since our dad walked out on us and he looked up to me, he was my best friend" DeMarco started to tremble a little bit and Jules got up to get him a bottle of water, he gave it to him and sat back down silently, waiting for him to continue.
"He was a small guy just like you, and was getting bullied a lot. I couldn't do much about it at the time because we went to different schools and he wouldn't tell me or my mom who the bullies were. I could tell something was really bothering him so one day I kind of forced him to tell me what his problem was, he broke down and told me he was gay. He told me he didn't want to tell me because he thought I would hate him...like I could ever hate my little brother" DeMarco took a deep breath and a swig of water before going on.
"I told him I love him no matter what, and I meant it. He didn't want to tell my mom yet and I was ok with supporting him when he did. But someone else knew and the rumors began to spread at his school and the bullying started to worsen. I went to the principal and the teachers but none of them seemed to care. Over the course of five months, it got really bad and he started to shut himself off from me. I tried everything I could do to help him but it wasn't enough, the day before his 15th birthday I found him hanging in his closet"
Jules was floored. He didn't know what to say, his brain was going a mile a minutes but his mouth couldn't seem to form words, DeMarco's younger brother committed suicide. Jules thought back to the times he contemplated suicide for the torment he had gotten from the West brothers and their friends over the years, but he never went through with it because he didn't want to hurt his parents or leave Damian behind. And now looking at the hurt on DeMarco's face, he realized he had made the right choice in not ending his life, at least for his parent's sake, and in that very second he promised himself never to let the bullying get to him and maybe even fight back against it.
Overrun with emotions, Jules got up and grabbed DeMarco into a huge hug, well as huge as he could give, Jules was only 5'7 and DeMarco had to have been over 6 feet. He didn't know why he did it; it just seemed like the right thing to do.
"It was my fault" he said "I couldn't help him"
"You can't blame yourself, I'm sure you did all you could but sometimes the harassment is just too much to handle"
"Has it ever gotten so bad you wanted to kill yourself?" DeMarco asked. Jules didn't know how to answer, he wasn't even sure he should answer "well have you?"
"Yeah I have" Jules whispered "I've thought about it a few times"
"Why, it looks like you have a nice life, or at least a nice home"
"A lot of people think that since I dress nice, live in a big house and drive brand new cars that I'm happy, but money can't buy you happiness" Jules said, somberly.
"Make me a promise" DeMarco said staring intently in Jules's eyes "Promise me no matter how bad it gets, you will never ever do that"
"I promise" said Jules in a serious tone. They talked a while longer about DeMarco's younger brother. Jules learned that he was indeed Italian and moved to California with his mom over the summer due to his mother taking a teaching job at the local university. DeMarco also told him that if he ever needed him all he had to do was ask. Feeling more comfortable in his new friendship, Jules started to open up more. He never really talked to anyone as a friend except Aiden, Amy and Damian. Come to find out they had a lot in common other then martial arts and being gifted students. They had to same taste in music and video games, the both loved to run and both were suckers for action movies.
Jules asked him if he left someone behind in New York, hoping that he was gay but figuring he wasn't since DeMarco just confessed that his brother was the gay one. DeMarco commented that he had a girl friend but they broke up way before he had to move, Jules thought he would introduce him to Amy. After talking for about an hour, Jules put on a movie and popped some pop corn while they hung out and just got to know each other. "This guy is pretty cool" Jules thought to himself. It was about 5:30 in the evening when the movie ended.
"It's about dinner time, I should get going before you mother comes home"
"Um, my mom died a couple months ago" Jules said.
"Oh shit, I'm sorry man"
"It's ok, no worries"
"Well, what about your dad, will he be home soon?"
"Uh no" Jules said slightly laughing "I haven't seen my dad in two and a half months"
"Whoa that's fucked up, may I ask why?"
"The company he owns is based out of New York so he is gone a lot" he said. It's the truth but not the whole truth; he knew it mainly had to do with his mother's death.
"Any wild parties?" DeMarco jokingly asked.
"I wish but no, my two best friends spend the night a lot so I'm not alone and my third best friend who lives in New York spent a lot of time here also but since school started it'll just be me"
"Well if you're ever bored or lonely just give me a call, I'll come and stay with you"
"That would be cool, but what would your mom say?"
"Well I'm 18 so what could she say?" DeMarco replied with a grin.
He ended up staying a few more hours to watch another movie and order some pizza, it's the best time Jules had just hanging out in a long time. He ended up telling sharing his suspicions for his father really being gone and DeMarco told him to just give him time and try to be understanding. It was cool to Jules to have someone different to talk to. DeMarco finally left after making plans to meet up with Jules before first period. "He is definitely worthy of introducing to Amy" Jules thought as he closed the door.
It was still hot in California even though it was September, Jules decided to take a quick dip in the pool to cool off before heading to bed. He walked out onto the back deck and took in the scene before him. The backyard of his home was his favorite place in the entire world. It was like his own personal oasis. There was a beautiful salt water pool, a 12 person hot tub and a pool house, but that's not what made it an oasis to Jules. The yard was perfectly landscaped and covered with trees and tropical plants. He would just lie out in the grass among the trees and the bushes and just stare up at the stars. Jules stripped off his close and dove in naked, enjoying the refreshing water on his bare skin.
After taking a dip in the pool, he grabbed his clothes and walked through the house and up the stairs to his room. He had always been comfortable with his body and even though he was small in stature, he was big in all the right places. Since his father left, Jules took up hanging around the house in the nude if he was alone, which was pretty often.
Once he got to his room, he opened his laptop to check his email. There was a few nonsense emails advertizing weight loss pills, there was an email from Damian telling him about his first day at school. Then there was the weekly email from his ex-boyfriend, always saying the same thing "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, please give me another chance" Jules even thought about taking him back a few times, but was always brought back to reality when he think about what his ex-boyfriend Chris did to cause the split.
The two met at Victoria Gardens Mall on Jules's 15th birthday. He was having lunch and a day of shopping with his parents. Chris literally ran into Jules while shopping at Macy's; when their eyes met, it was instant electricity. Chris was 6'1 very muscular all-American white boy high school jock type, Jules was infatuated with him immediately. Chris loved the fact that Jules was small, the top of his head came up to his chest, Chris also loved the fact that Jules was black; he had a major thing for ethnic guys.
They became very close and Jules was in love, and he thought Chris was too. They didn't go to the same high school but it didn't matter to them, they still saw a lot of each other and even with all the bullying and bullshit Jules had to endure at his own school, he was ok knowing he had a boyfriend who loved him. Everything seemed great until Jules got a random text message saying that his boyfriend was unfaithful and only wanted him because his family was wealthy. The email was accompanied with photos of Chris half naked making out with some guy.
Jules called Chris right away to ask him about the email and the photos, and when Chris wouldn't out right deny it, Jules knew it was true and hung up. Two days later Jules' mother died, Chris didn't even come to the funeral even though Jules's parents loved Christ. He hasn't spoken to him since and won't return his emails.
There was one more email; he recognized the email address jakeyw13@gmail.com. Jules knew right away it was from Jacob West, everyone called him Jakey and 13 was his baseball number, he hesitated before opening the email.
It read: Aiden and your new faggot loving friend can't be around you all the time, you are going to get yours and if you ever mention what happened in the locker room freshman year I will kill you.
The email scared him; he knew that it wasn't a harmless threat. The West brothers could be relentless. They hated him for being gay and out and had tormented him since he had known them, matter-of-fact they bullied everyone and thought they could get away with it because their father was a scary cop who hated gay people and black people even worse then they did. Aiden was the only one they really didn't mess with and that was because Aiden was big and didn't take their shit, they were afraid of him, but even them being afraid of Aiden didn't deter them from leaving Jules alone.
After closing his laptop, he set the house alarm and made sure all the security cameras where operational, then climbed in his huge bed in his huge house alone. He knew he wasn't going to get a good night's sleep, he was too scared about Jacob's email, but soon his mind switched gears and he started to think about the great afternoon he had with his new friend. Sleep took him and he had a restful night, even despite the threatening email.
The rest of the week was pretty easy for Jules, he picked up Aiden and Amy in the morning and hung out with DeMarco in the afternoons, he even introduced DeMarco to his two friends. He and Aiden hit it off right away, DeMarco played on the varsity basketball team at his old school and Aiden was looking for new players. Amy on the other hand was very shy and bashful around DeMarco, which was strange because she was normally very out going. One day while at lunch with Amy, Jules asked her about her weird behavior.
"So what's up with you" he asked with a smirk.
"What do you mean?"
"Don't play dumb, you know what I mean. It's like your brain turns to mush every time you're around DeMarco" he laughed.
"I know" she admitted embarrassingly "I don't know what it is about him, he's freaking gorgeous"
"And he's a great guy too" Jules added.
"Do you think he likes me?" she asked.
"Well I know he thinks you're attractive, but I don't know if he likes you seeing as you can't form functional thoughts or intelligent sentences when he's around" He told Amy to open up a bit more, and even said he would orchestrate some time for them to hang out alone so they could get to know each other.
Even though things were going good with his friends, He was still having a hard time with the West brothers. He had third and fourth periods away from his friends and that was the time either Jacob or Joshua would hassle him. He would get pushed into walls or Aiden with it because he had so much on his plate with the homecoming football game just around the corner, and he didn't want to bring his new friend into his mess, even though he told him to come to him if he needed it.
Homecoming came and went and was a great deal. DeMarco and Amy convinced Jules to attend the game to support Aiden in the game and to support him as homecoming King. They tried to talk him into going to the dance but he refused and wasn't budging on his decision, however he was very happy when DeMarco informed him they he asked Amy to the dance and that she accepted, he was glad his friends had gotten together.
The night of the homecoming dance while Jules was at home getting an early jump of homework, he got an email from his dad. He again apologized for not being there for him, and said he wanted to tell Jules why but all the courage left him when he looked at his son's face. Stellan also stated that he thought he should email his excuse and hopefully go from there. His dad said he blamed himself for his mother's death; it was him who was supposed to be at the mall to pick up his gift, not his mother. Lastly; the email stated that he couldn't bear to look Jules in the eyes because he had his mother's eyes and he was ashamed for his son to know that his mother died because of him.
By the time Jules finished reading his father's email, he was in tears. He knew his father was hurting, but he never figured that his father blamed himself for what happened. He fumbled for his cell phone and tried to dial his dad's number but his eyes were to blurry from crying, he had to wipe the tears away and calm down then he tried again. After a few rings, his father answered.
"Jules?"
"I'm sorry dad; I wish you would have told me. I'm so sorry you feel that way, please don't blame yourself, it wasn't your fault" He could hear his father start to break down on the other end of the phone, he had never heard nor seen his father cry before his mother died and hearing him now, Jules knew he was in real pain over this.
"I was afraid you'd hate me if you knew the truth"
"Dad, I don't hate you and I don't blame you, I'm only upset that you left that's all"
"Are you sure"
"I'm positive dad, I love you and I would never lie, you know that"
"Thank you son, I needed to hear that from you and I promise I'll be home soon" They spoke for a few more minutes trying to catch up on time lost before Stellan said he needed to get back to work. They made plans to talk on Skype the following evening, and then Jules went to bed feeling a lot better then he had in months.
The following school day, Jules went to pick and friends up for school. When Amy got in the truck without Aiden, Jules found out that he had partied a bit too hard at the dance and the after party and was now sick. They drove to school as Amy gushed over the perfect time she had at the dance, he listened intently as she regaled how DeMarco was a gentleman and was the best kisser she ever had.
Once at school; they parted ways and Jules went to his and DeMarco's usual meeting spot. All of a sudden he was shoved very hard into a wall, and then punched in the stomach. He became dizzy from the slam into the wall and slid to the floor in pain. Someone grabbed him by the collar and pulled back to his feet. When Jules looked into the eyes of his attacker, her saw both West brothers laughing, Jacob was the one holding him up.
"I told you your friends weren't always going to be around, Aiden isn't here to save you queer" Joshua said standing behind his brother.
"I can't stand to look at you; the sight of you makes me sick. All faggots like you should be destroyed" Jacob seethed as he hit Jules again in the stomach. After catching his breath, he realized the halls were full of students just standing around watching. No one said or did anything, Jules finally realized he was tired of the abuse and was finally ready to do something about it.
After getting to his feet, he looked up as Jacob and said "You didn't mind me being a faggot freshman year when I let you suck me off in the locker room" There was a sudden gasp from multiple students in the hall as they stared and pointed. Jacob's eyes turned red with rage.
"You're a fucking liar"
"Call me a liar if you want, but a couple people saw and you know it" Jules said still holding his stomach where he had been punched twice. Jacob came at him but he hadn't realized that Jules anticipated the attack and gave him an expeditious kick to the nuts. Jacob collapsed and yelled in agony. Joshua was next to advance on Jules, who planted a swift front kick to the solar plexus that sent him flying about three feet from where he was standing. The West brothers were down and the crowd of students that gathered to watch was in shock, no one guessed that little Jules Barrett could defend himself, let alone do a good job at it, everyone looked at him with fear in their eyes.
"Mr. Barrett, to my office now" Jules turned around to see Mr. Kripke, the vice principal standing near him. "Will someone help these boys to the nurse please" he shouted before following Jules to his office. Jules had known Mr. Kripke for many years, him and Jules father were army buddies and he was also Jules's Sifu (martial arts instructor) , and even though Jules knew him away from school, he still had the ability to scare the shit out of him. He was 6'3 280 pounds all solid beef and had a scowl that could stop a bull.
"Sit down Jules"
"Mr. Kripke I was just defending -" but the vice principal cut him off.
"I know son, I seen and heard what happened" he said "I came in as you were getting off the floor, I was going to intervene but I saw you take your stance so I let it play out"
"You knew I was going to strike?" Jules asked slightly shocked.
"Of course I did, I trained you didn't I" Jules nodded, but he kept his eyes on the floor, he knew Kripke well enough that something else was coming. "Those boys deserve what they got, hell I'm actually surprised you didn't do it sooner, I would have told you to but it's against my ethics to tell someone that I have trained to openly hurt someone. I have to suspend you Jules"
"But Mr. Kripke -" he cut him off again.
"I know, but school rules are school rules so I'm sending you home now. I know your father isn't in town but I'll call him and let him know the truth so don't worry"
"But what about them, they started it"
"They will get theirs, don't worry" Jules took a deep breath, his stomach still hurt from being punched and he was still slightly dizzy from his head being slammed into the wall. He got up and grabbed the door knob when Mr. Kripke stopped him.
"Jules, I have trained you since you were 8 years old, you have two black belts in two different forms of martial arts, you are also one of my best students. Don't tell anyone I'm saying this to you but please start to stick up for yourself, I'm not saying to go out and start kicking everyone's ass but be assertive and stand your ground like I taught you. If everyone knew the Jules that I know, no one would want to harm you" Jules smiled at Kripke, formally bowed and said "Yes Sifu, I will"
By the time Jules walked out of the office first period was already in session, he walked to his truck and headed home. On the way, he decided to go check on Aiden and within 10 minutes he pulled into the drive way. The two families were really close and Jules needed no invitation to visit, he walked through the door without knocking, kicked off his shoes and walked in the family room where he knew Aiden was.
"Hey little bro, what are you doing here, what aren't you in school?"
"I ditched and decided to come and hang out with you"
"Bullshit you ditched" he said with a laugh.
"I got suspended for a couple days"
"For what!!!" he shouted.
"I'm surprised you haven't found out by now, Jacob and Joshua started in on me and I got tired of it so I laid into them, knocked the shit out of both of them"
"Well about damn time, all that training was going to waste"
At that moment Jules got a text message from DeMarco saying he heard about what happened and was sorry he wasn't there to help. The text also said that he would get the assignments he was going to miss and drop them off during lunch. Jules told Aiden he had to get home so he wouldn't miss DeMarco and then headed home.
He pulled into his rounded drive-way and parked near the front door. He opened the door and stepped into the foyer, but before he could turn and closed the door he was hit by something hard in the back. He fell face first into the marble floor and was dazed momentarily; he tried to get up and put himself in a defensive stance but was kicked in the ribs. He could hear the crunch and pop of bones breaking as he hit the ground, he rolled over on his side and saw the West brothers in his home.
"You got us suspended for a week faggot and now I can't play in the next game" shouted Joshua as he kicked Jules in the stomach and knocked the wind out of him. Jacob picked him up and punched him in the face a few times; Jules felt his nose break before he fell to the floor again. Joshua flipped Jules on his stomach and held his wrists so he couldn't move as Jacob pulled Jules's shorts completely off.
"Nooooooo" Jules screamed as Jacob got on top of him and spread his legs.
"You know you want it faggot" Jacob said he spit on his dick and shoved it hard into Jules ass without mercy.
"NO Please no" he screamed. Joshua picked up Jules's head and slammed it into the marble floor, knocking him unconscious. When his eyes opened again, he was still on the ground in the foyer with Jacob still pounded in and out of him. He tried to scream but his mouth wouldn't open, he tried to fight free but his body wouldn't move. The few minutes of time actually felt like hours, Jacob began to pick up speed and become more aggressive and Jules knew that he was about to cum and hopefully this nightmare would be over.
After a few more seconds, Jacob grunted and convulsed and dispelled his seed inside Jules' bowels. "Did you like that fag?" Jacob asked as he climbed off of Jules and switched places with his brother. "Oh God, this isn't over" Jules thought to himself and Joshua assaulted his ass hole like his brother did before him. Again it seemed to go on for ever until Joshua climaxed inside of Jules.
When Joshua climbed off Jules, Jacob flipped him on his back and that's when Jules noticed that there was someone else standing in the open door way. He could barely see past his swollen eyes, had to focus before realizing it was their father, Officer West, standing there like he was proud of the rape his sons had just committed.
"That's enough boys, lets go, this little cocksucker get what he deserved for getting you suspended" he said after he spat on Jules. The three of them left without closing the door and leaving Jules naked and bleeding in the foyer of his home. He couldn't call out or move and a pool of starting to surround his legs. There was nothing he could do but just lie there, his eyes started to get heavy and his breathing became shallow and that scared him. "I don't wanna die" he thought to himself as he started to cry. He didn't know how long he had lain there, but he was tired...too tired matter now, he closed his eyes to allow the darkness to succumb him. Just as he did, he heard a car pull up then someone come to the door but Jules couldn't open his eyes to see who it was.
"Oh my God, Jules" it was DeMarco "SOMEONE CALL 911" he shouted. That was it, the darkness took him.
(Author's Note)
I am sorry if the rape scene was a bit much for some readers, but trust that something good will come out of it. I know I also said there would be sex/love making in this story and there will be, so please bear with me. Please email me with comments and suggestions at eric.z.james@live.com
A story always works better for me if I get a clear understanding of what each character looks like. So below are photos of the people that will be written about the most and as a new person is introduced, their photo will be added.
