Chapter 5

I went over to Donny's house the next day just like I told him I would. His step-dad John answered the door. He seemed like a pretty nice man, I remembered once when my mom got remarried and the guy was an asshole; she was married to him for a total of 2 weeks.

I ran up the stairs to Donny's room, I had brought him a rose to get well by. When I opened the door Donny looked up then jumped back in shock. "What?" I asked stepping into the room.

"Wh--What are you doing here? What do you want?"

I stopped walking and looked at him confusingly. "I came here to see you. You know you're sitting here in bed almost unable to move and I'm your friend and friend's should visit their sick friends."

"Well go home, please."

"Why?" I went over to the bed and he scooted away from me. "What's going on?"

"You k--killed him."

"What?! Killed who?!"

"Scott told me that you killed someone, a boyfriend of yours. You shot him in the head and you got away with it."

"Donny!"

"I tried not to believe him, I really liked that kiss, but George came up here with some old news paper articles. There was a picture of you on there saying you killed your boyfriend in big print."

"Well did you read the whole thing?"

"No! I didn't want to and I don't want you here. I don't want to die! Scott told me he was sorry and he gave me a hand job last night to prove it. He still loves me and feels bad for letting his temper get in the way of our relationship. I will NEVER go out with you! You'll end up killing me."

I reached out to touch him but he backed away, "Listen to me Donny. Scott will end up killing you! I wouldn't hurt you. If you don't believe that then nothing has to happen between us. I just can't sit back while Scott hurts you the way he does."

He started crying I reached out again so he could cry on me but he backed away. "Get out of here murderer." I turned and saw Scott standing at the door. "If you lay a hand on Donny I will seriously hurt you."

I looked at Donny and he looked away. As I walked past Scott I whispered, "Same goes to you too bub."

The windows in my truck had been bashed out. John was out there looking at it shaking his head. "I heard the glass break and ran out here to see what was going on. Those two little bastards were out here doing it. I tried to stop them but they broke a tape of yours, the one in your glove box." Damn, the one of Scott and George's little session in the car. "I'd call the cops if I were you."

"No, it's okay. If I were you I'd keep those guys away from Donny, you do know that it was them that hurt him don't you?"

"I know," He said looking at the ground. "I try to keep Donny happy, he told me and his mother not to meddle in his relationship or he'd go and live with his father. So I stayed out of it. They do it again though it would almost be worth having Donny leave, just so he could get away from those two."

I wrote down my number on a piece of paper and handed it to him, "Call me if anything else happens, please. Donny doesn't want me there anymore." He looked at me strangely but said okay.

I didn't get any sleep that night. I feared the worse for Donny, but I kept an open line for a phone call from John and one never came so I assumed Donny was okay.

My last week of school Donny returned. His bruises were yellowing and he seemed to feel a whole lot better; but he was unhappy. Whenever I saw him we'd lock eyes for a second but he would quickly turn away. He would still hold hands with Scott under the table, but George would sit on the other side of Scott and rub his leg. I put my camera and a new tape in my truck (had the windows replaced btw) just incase.

The day before graduation I ran into Donny alone in the stairwell, he looked up at me and started walking the other way. "Donny wait, please."

He stopped and turned around, "Hi Jamie."

"Sit." I said motioning towards the stairs.

"I'd rather not." He whispered.

I sat. "Donny I want to tell you what happened, I should have told you this a long time ago. The guy, the one I--I killed. His name was Cody." I proceeded in telling Donny everything I could about Cody. His eyes grew wide and he literally fell on the stairs into a sitting position. "Cody ran to the kitchen and I slid my way up the steps, I knew that there was no way for me to escape by going outside, Cody could run 20 times faster than me on a good day. 'Where are you sweetheart?' he shouted up the stairs and he climbed them slowly. I found my way to his father's room, Cody's father kept a gun in his nightstand for protection, I figured I'd just grab it and threaten Cody with it till he let me go, then I'd never have to see him again. I pulled the gun out as Cody entered the room; he was holding a butcher knife proudly above his head. He advance and I pointed the gun, he was either too drunk to notice or too stupid to care. He brought the knife down and I fired the gun. The knife tore into my skin and I blacked out." I lifted my shirt and showed him my scar.

He ran up and sat next to me, feeling my scar. "He almost killed you." He whispered. He then felt the spot where he got the stitches. "He could have killed me too." He started to cry. I held him. He let me. "I said something mean to Scott yesterday and he slapped me hard. It hurt like hell; my face is still really sore. That's the first time he hit me without blaming it on his father. He hit me many times last night and kicked me about three times today. I don't understand why."

"Leave him." I said pulling him close, "He's going to hurt you again; he doesn't even care about you."

Donny leaned back and looked me in the eyes; "I love you Jamie."

"Donny, no, please don't say that." My plea went unheard as he leaned in and kissed my lips, "Donny please." He kissed me again and I kissed him back. We just sat there making out in the stairwell for like 20 minutes. It didn't even dawn on me that he was supposed to be in class; it just felt so good; it felt so right.

"Well what do we have here?" Donny and I both jumped and saw Scott and George coming down the stairs. "A murderer and a cheating little bitch. Donny what in the hell do you think you are doing? Oh never mind I don't want to hear it. And as for you, murderer I can't wait to tell the whole school that their precious Jonathan Jamerson Winston is a cock-loving murderer, what a great graduation gift."

"Go to hell Scott."

"Later, come on Donny, let's get you out of this stairwell baby, we have things we have to prepare for tomorrow."

Donny stood up and I grabbed his hand, "Where are you going?"

"I'm sorry Jamie, but I can't do this, I love Scott."

"But you said--" Donny shot me a look that said "Don't get me into anymore trouble" so I let him go.

I decided to stay after school that day and tell what George and Scott planned to do. Our principal already knew and she really didn't like either of those boys. She told me that she would make sure that nothing happened.

As I walked to my car I heard someone screaming. I ran towards the voice to a secluded area of woods by the side of our school. I hid behind a bunch of weeds. What I saw made me gasp in horror. There was Donny on his hands and knees. Behind him Scott was feverishly fucking his ass while George's dick was stuck down Donny's throat. I ran back to my truck and grabbed my camcorder, I wanted this on tape, and there was no way they were getting away with this.

I set up the camcorder to where it could see what was going on, but they couldn't see it. I sat back and watched them torture him, the guy I loved. But why didn't he stay with me? He knew this would happen! I forced myself not to go out there no matter how badly I wanted to.

The two boys finally came inside my love, laughing and calling him a fucking slut. They pushed him to the ground; George grabbed him and pulled Donny up so that he was facing Scott and the camcorder. "Well since you like that murderer so much I'm going to do you a favor: I'm going to kill you the way he killed his boyfriend." I jerked my head up and looked at Scott, he had a gun in his hand. I moved the camcorder to where it could see the gun and still give me enough space to rush Scott and knock the gun away; hurting Donny was one thing but killing him was something entirely different.

"You see," Scott continued "everyone knows that someone has been beating you, but no one knows who. It couldn't have been sweat little me every body likes me. Everyone also knows you and Jamie are good friends, and with his history of being gay and killing his lover, this is a piece of cake." He clicked back the hammer and laughed crookedly. "I sure am going to miss my punching bag. I didn't think you'd be that good of a fuck, but damn, I'm gonna miss that tight ass of yours too."

I got myself set, George moved a little to the side just incase something went wrong, Donny just sat there pleading for his life. I took off in a fast run straight at Scott hitting him on his right side, the side that held the gun. As I hit his arm he fired the gun. We fell hard to the ground, so did Donny and George. I sat up a little and looked at Scott, he looked into my eyes and then down at the gun, "Oh my God!" he yelled throwing the gun to the side. "What did I do? Oh God." We got up off the ground and ran over to the other two boys, there was a lot of blood and we couldn't tell who was hit. I picked up Donny's little body and shook it; I got no response. To my side Scott was doing the same to George getting no response from him either.

"Somebody HELP!" I yelled, "Someone's been shot, somebody please call 911! Oh God Donny, please be okay, HELP!!"

Okay, here's the rest, I was going to wait until Tuesday to send this out to celebrate my 18th b-day, but I just couldn't wait that long =) (that and I told someone I would send it out tonight)

Email me you guys, I think I have everything cleared out now, if I didn't email you back I'm sorry, I probably read it but it got lost somewhere -- theicezone mail is like that for some reason. Purplecockatoo@theicezone.zzn.com

Saving Donny

Chapter 6

I sat in the swing on the front porch of my house. I was alone. I shouldn't be alone; this is graduation night! This is supposed to be a happy day, but it's not, this has to be one of the worst days of my life. I screwed up again. How could I have been that stupid?

When I was younger I had always told myself that once I found someone; the someone I knew I wanted to be with until the day I died, that I should always keep them near me. But I can't even do that. The day that Donny came into my life was the best day of my life. The first time I looked into his beautiful blue-gray eyes I knew that I would be with him for the rest of my life. How could I let him go? How could I let that beautiful boy slip through my fingers?

I stood up and looked out towards the street, seniors crowed the place screaming and running about. I smiled in spite of myself; at least they were having fun, because I surely wasn't. "Hey J?" I turned to the sound of my mother's voice from within the house.

"Yeah mom?"

"Are you going to sit out there moping about all night or are you going to go to the graduation?"

"I was actually planning on sitting here all night if it's okay with you."

She stepped out of the house in her best dress; we'd never been the kind of people to dress up even for the biggest of occasions. "So you are going to sit outside in your suit all night long? I think you should go."

"I think I should go throw myself off a high cliff, but I don't see that happening anytime soon."

"Jamie, you're not going to be like this forever are you?" She put her arms around me and held me tight. "I know it hurts, it hurts a lot, but this is just how things work out sometimes."

"Mom, he meant so much to me." I started to cry, she never really knew how much I loved Donny, she never really understood.

"I know sweetie, but life does go on. I want you to go inside, throw some cold water on your face and head over to the school; I don't want to hear another word about it. I'll save you a seat." She kissed my forehead and headed out to her car.

I went inside but didn't freshen up any. Things shouldn't be this way. I should be with Donny. I went to the fridge and grabbed one of my mother's beers and drank it. I grabbed the remaining ones and sat myself on the floor, guzzling down the rest. I rolled myself in a little ball on the floor and cried myself to sleep.

In my dream I replayed the whole scenario over again. I was hidden in the bush when I saw him point the gun. I ran at him and hit him hard as he fired the gun. But the bullet strayed to the side, missing its target, the one it always hit. Except this time it wasn't Scott under me with a gun, it was Cody, and he had the knife.

"Jamie! Jamie wake up!"

I was snapped open from my dream by my mother's voice. I held tight onto her and screamed. "He's going to get me! He's going to kill me mommy, please make him stop, he's going to hurt Donny mom, please."

"JAMIE!" She screamed shaking me a little, "It was all a dream honey, no one is going to kill you no calm down. It was all a dream."

"He killed Donny mom, he--he killed him."

"Shh--" she helped me up and laid me on the couch, "I think you should go back to sleep Jamie. I'm going to stay here tonight to make you're going to be okay, you go to sleep." I closed my eyes again, seeing once again, the same scenario over and over and over again.

"Jamie?" I slowly opened my eyes. I had a blinding headache. "Jamie, are you awake?"

"I don't feel so good." I rolled over on my side and held on to the side of the couch.

"I can't get him to do anything," I heard my mother say, "maybe you could get a response out of him." My mother stood as the other figure approached me.

"Mom can you get me some aspirin and a glass of water."

"Sure."

"Jamie?" I sat up straight making my head pound even more. I felt hands pushing me back down on the couch, "You shouldn't sit up so fast if you have a headache, you'll just make yourself sicker."

"What do you know?"

"Quite a lot actually. I don't need you throwing up on me this early in the morning."

"I don't need you here this early in the morning."

"Jamie don't talk to him like that." My mother said handing me the pills and water, "I'm heading home, call me if he causes any trouble."

"We need to talk J."

"I don't want to talk now, I want to go back to sleep."

"And have those dreams again? Jamie, you've been having those same dreams since I left, don't you want them to end."

"You're dead, you can't help me."

"I'm not dead Jamie, look at me!" I looked up, searching for his beautiful eyes. But all I saw was black. This wasn't my Donny's face it was nothing but a skull! "You let me die Jamie! I'm going to kill you and take you with me! You're mine forever!"

"No! No! Leave me alone! Stop!"...

"JAMIE!!!!!" I snapped my eyes opened and the first thing I saw was those blue eyes I'd been searching for. I jumped back screaming in terror. "Jamie stop, it's me, Donny, please stop screaming."

"No you're dead, he shot you! I saw it!"

"Jamie, no it was just a dream I'm really here. Look at me!"

"No, I saw him kill you!"

"Don't you remember what really happened Jamie? You saved me? Remember? The bullet went the other way, it hit George, remember? Jamie it was just a dream, look at me." I opened my eyes slightly expecting to see the same grizzly skull I'd seen moments earlier, but all I saw was those beautiful eyes.

"Donny?"

"Yeah, Jamie, oh god." I reached forward and hugged him tightly.

"Donny, it was a dream? You're really here?"

"Jamie you know it was a dream. You had too much to drink last night and the alcohol just made you hallucinate that. Jesus Jamie, that was two years ago."

"But the fight, that was real wasn't it? You left me."

"Jamie, I should never have left, it was so stupid of me. This past week has been the worst week in my entire life, I just hope you will forgive me for leaving you."

"You will come back?"

"Only if you want me." I looked him in the eye and kissed him, "I'll take that as a yes. I brought all my stuff with me just in case." He smiled and I kissed him again. "I thought when people have headaches they don't want sex."

"Sex? Who said anything about sex? I just like kissing you." Our lips met again as I pulled him down on the couch with me.

Epilog

Donny and I sat on the swing looking out at the night sky. In the fall Donny would be starting college in another state. I didn't want to be away from my baby for that long so I decided to buy a place near there and move. I could always find some school to take me, or I could find a job, none of that mattered as long as I had my Donny.

"Donny? You know I love you with all my heart, right?"

"Of course, and you know I love you more than anything in the entire world, right."

"Do you love me more than you loved Scott."

Donny sat back and snuggled in my arms, "You saw the letter didn't you?"

"Yes, this is my house after all, I get all mail forwarded here no matter whose name is one it. I didn't read it, I was tempted to, but I didn't read it. Well okay, I saw that it was signed 'Love Scott'"

Donny turned to me and kissed me, "Jamie, Scott is in jail. He killed George by trying to kill me, when he was raping me I knew that I didn't love him." He thought about it for a minute, "Scratch that, the first time you kissed me I knew it. I love you and that's all that matters. You're my knight in shinning armor, you are my savior, you are mine."

I slipped my arms from around him and slid to the floor at his feet, "Donny, tomorrow we are moving away from here and starting a new life together. I know that you and I will always be together but I want to make this official." I reached into my pocket and pulled out a small ring, "Donald Wayne Anderson, will you marry me?" I slipped the ring on his finger.

"Yes! Oh God Jamie, I--" I sat up and kissed him.

Okay guys, that's all I can write... This definitely didn't go the way I expected but I hope you enjoyed it. I know a lot of you wanted to see something really bad happen to Scott, but think about it. He's sitting in jail for attempting to murder one person he loved and the actual murder of the one he truly loved, and he can't deny any of it because it's all on tape, yeah, remember the video camera. The question is, did Scott really love Donny or was he just using him? Well okay, you can use someone and still sort of love them -- brings back some painful memories. Well anyway hope you guys liked the story. I'll try to come up with another soon, but I'm not making any promises. See ya around.
