I can't believe that I would be this happy with someone and yet here I am with someone who change my life completely love is something I never saw for my self

Leo always knew he was different from other people weather it was the way he dressed the music he listened to or his personality. Leo was a kid with a rough past he had lost both of his parents in a car accident when he 7. Ever since then Leo has never been the same he's lost all connection to other people never talked to anyone even to his aunt whom he lived with since then. The only way that Leo could get emotion out was through his journal. Leo had always have had this black journal with two white roses on the cover. His mother had given it to him heed kept it since then. Leo wrote everything he thought in there from his dreams to his nightmares. Since Leo didn't like to talk to anyone he was bullied by many people at school, they would beat him up call him names just to hurt him. Leo's only response to the insults was to run away from the kids and hide and sit down and hug his knees and cry. Leo never liked to get attached to anything because he thought it would all leave him and he would just be left with another whole in his heart.

Leo sat on his bed in his dark room he was writing down a dream he had had the night before. His aunt walked in to his room "Leo honey I brought you some pepperoni pizza." She said in a mellow voice. Leo closed his journal and turned to his aunt. She had his moms honey brown hair and chocolate brown eyes much like his own she was a little curvier than his mother but not by a lot. He couldn't look at her for long without becoming depressed. His aunt handed him the pizza and smiled at him. She thought he was a very good kid he was smart ,polite but he's been through so much. She never tried to bring up conversation more than a good morning or good night she knew he wouldn't talk to anyone. "Leo honey I'm going to go to the store I'll be right back do you need anything?" Leo tore a piece of paper from a school note book he wrote down what he needed and handed it to his aunt. "Okay Honey I'll get you this I'll be back soon." As always when his aunt went out he always gave her a separate piece of paper with the same thing written on it "Please Be Careful" he didn't want to lose her too.

Leo went back to writing in his journal and finished writing about his dream. Leo always wrote down his dreams because he always tried to keep a piece of a moment where he was actually happy. Leo finished writing and grabbed his phone and put some music on the song "Light up the sky" came up it was his favorite song he closed his eyes and imagined how it would be like to live the song. Leo fell asleep listening to this song and had a dream of true beauty. In his dream he was with someone who he couldn't see the face of but he felt a strong connection to that person as if they were real oh how he wished they were and he could feel their warm embrace and feel happy. He was holding their hand and walking in an open field full of stars and the crescent moon shining down on them and Leo was happy. His aunt came back from the store and took the things Leo to his room when she opened the door she noticed he had fallen asleep she smiled and said to herself "How could someone as sweet as him deserve to feel like he does." She covered him with a blanket and felt him to dwell in his dreams.

A single ray of sunlight came in trough Leo's window and hit him on his face and with that he woke up and saw that he had fallen asleep in his clothes and he had left his journal open. He yawned and rubbed his eyes to become fully awake and closed his journal and headed to his bathroom Leo undressed in and walked in the shower and while the hot water soaked his skin he started to think about his dream last night he thought to himself it would have never ended. He remembered how in his dream the person he was with was nice holding his hand hugging him when the stars started to shine brighter than ever and he kissed the person. Leo thought it was wired that he had a dream about kissing someone when he had never kissed someone before. He decided to leave this thought and finished showering. When Leo got out of the shower he went to get dressed the put on his underwear and walked over to his closet and got his usual attire he wore black skate shoes, black skinny jeans and a black V-neck T-shirt. He walked over to his desk and picked up his journal and placed it into his black backpack. He walked down stairs to the kitchen where his aunt was already making him breakfast as usual. "Leo honey would you like coffee or milk?" Leo pointed to the milk and she served him some and he ate the pancakes she made him. "Leo honey did you sleep well last night, I came home from the store and found you asleep did you have a good dream?" Leo nodded to let her know he did and he knew he did it was one of the best dreams he had ever had.

Leo finished his breakfast pick up his backpack and headed for the door "Leo honey I hope you have a good day." She said smiling Leo waved bye back and headed for school. Leo hated school not because he had to learn but because of how people made fun of him. As usual Leo got to school about an hour early not because he needed to but because he likes to look at the stars and the moon at the break of dawn. He would sit in the little field and write in his journal about his thoughts and philosophy's. Leo liked being in the field in the morning he enjoyed being alone with nature he felt safe and happy. Leo notice it was 7:50 he walked to the door of the school and went the long way as always to avoid seeing the people he didn't like. Leo walked in to his first period class and sat at the back of the class as always and got out his phone and put "Light up the Sky" just to remissness about his dream. The bell rang and his teacher Mrs. Elliott walked in with a kid next to her he was a little shorter than Leo and had long brown hair with dark blonde highlights, he had tan skin and green eyes like an aurora. "Everyone this is JImmy he moved here from Colorado, I hope you make him feel welcome JImmy please take a seat next to Leo in the back." Leo didn't really like the fact that Mrs. Elliott sat Jimmy next to him Leo enjoyed being alone in the back where no one could bother him.

Jimmy sat next to Leo and gave him a sheepish hello with his hand Leo did the same and faced forward. "Okay class we are going to start a new project today you guys will have to work with a partner I assign you to." The class groaned and sighed and listened to Mrs. Elliot. "The project will be due in a week you will have to make a presentation on a song you both agree on and on the artist who wrote it and try to learn about each other a little." Leo Hated the fact that he had to work with a partner but he thought it was for a grade and he had to do so. "JImmy since you're new how about you work with Leo on this assignment." Jimmy looked at him as did Leo. "You guys have the rest of the class to start thinking about what you are going to do." Jimmy pulled up and sat next to Leo. "What song would you like to do?" Leo took his note book and wrote down you pick. "Okay I see you don't like to talk and as for the song how about "Light up the Sky"? Have you heard it?" Leo's eyes widen a little and slowly nodded. "Okay then lets listen to it do you have it on your phone or we could look it upon YouTube." Leo got his phone and handed him an ear bud they listen to Leo's favorite song. Leo kept re-living his dream in his mind over and over again he didn't notice that Jimmy had his journal open in his hands. This made Leo furious this guy just got his journal without even asking and was reading it. Leo took his journal out Jimmy's hands and stud up flicked him off and left the class room right when the bell rang. Leo headed toward his next class and he walked with both hands in his pockets Leo wasn't one who got mad he felt betrayed more than mad, why would he just take his journal and read it in front of him. As this thought was in his head he couldn't understand how someone could just blatantly do that. Leo couldn't believe he had to be partners with him for this project. He decided to ask their teacher to change up the pairing or just let him do it himself. He did like the choice Jimmy thought of the song. Leo kept going through the day he really didn't see much of Jimmy he didn't care at all if he did. He walked in to his last period or as he called it hell this was where he was picked on and bullied the most four people would always gang up on him and take him down as much as they could and they didn't give a dam about it. "Hey Leo want some dick you stupid faggot." Said the worst of the four his name was David. He was the jock on campus arrogant and vicious. Leo's eyes began to water and he walked over to the back of the classroom and sat there hoping they would leave him alone but he knew too well that they wouldn't. David came over were Leo was and hit him upside the head causing Leo to hit his head on the book shelf next to him. Leo griped his head and his lip began to quiver as tears began to fall from his eyes streaming like small waterfalls.

"Hey guys look little Leo is crying like a pussy!" everyone laughed at David's comment and this made Leo even more upset and even more scared. "Take a hit princess your so fucking pathetic!" said another one of the four a girl named Leslie. She was the average sank she had long black hair, Red lip stick, and short shorts that showed all he ass."At least im not the one who sleeps with every guy she can." He wanted to say but now more than ever his words wouldn't come out. Leo got up his face now covered in tears he headed for the door when all of a sudden he bumped into someone Leo looked up to see who he had bumped into it was Jimmy Leo Stared into his eyes and he felt his face get warm. Leo walked pass Jimmy and left the class room the Leo never got in trouble for leaving a class when he wanted because the teachers all knew about what had happened to his parents and figured that he must be still hurting having to see his parents die slowly in the hospital wanting to help but not being able to. Leo ran to his secret hiding spot in the school he ran to the courtyard and ran to hide behind the small shed there full of gardening materials. Leo sat on the cool pavement and hugged his knees and began to cry their words cut him like knifes. He touched his head and felt a large bump on the looked at his hand saw some blood on it. "Are you okay Leo?" a voice said as Leo looked up and saw it was Jimmy.

Leo rubbed his eyes to wipe away his tears so that Jimmy wouldn't see them and think he was weak. It was to no avail Jimmy saw how red Leo's eyes were and saw there were still small tears rushing down his cheeks his lower lips still quivering. Jimmy put his hand on Leo's shoulder to calm him down and Leo let him he felt weird he had never had someone other than his aunt touch him but he felt a warm embrace from Jimmy. Jimmy sat down next to Lro looked at him Leo noticed the compassion in Jimmy he didn't know what to think should he accept it or not he thought it over and slowly faced Jimmy. "Are you okay Leo why are you crying?" Leo lowered his face and looked down towards the floor he wanted to trust Jimmy but if he grew attached he might lose him and he didn't want to feel what he felt the day his parents died it hurt him so much he became mute. " It's okay if you don't want to talk to me I understand I don't know what happened to you for you to be mute but if you ever need anything, anything at all find me your not alone." Leo looked into Jimmys's eyes and saw something he couldn't understand as Leo was deep in thought Jimmy placed his hand on Leo's head where he was bleeding from. "Leo your bleeding we need to go to the nurses office come on!" Jimmy placed his sweater on Leo's head to slow down the bleeding. He took Leo to the nurses office and showed the nurse were Leo was bleeding from. Leo was confused this was the very same Jimmy who earlier today took his journal read it and now he was helping him and caring for him for some reason. The school nurse wrapped Leo's head with a bandage and told him to ice it every 2 hours so he would heal she asked him who had done it to him. Before Leo even could have attempted to do anything Jimmy handed him note book and a pencil, Leo wrote down who had hurt him and how it happened. Okay Leo said the school nurse "ill make sure the principal reads this your very lucky to have a friend like him." Leo turned around to see Jimmy standing behind him holding his now bloody sweater in his hands and thought to himself "friend'' could he trust Jimmy enough to make him his friend. "Leo I'm sorry for reading your journal I hope you can forgive me." Leo looked at Jimmy and nodded slowly. Jimmy smiled "So when do you want to start to work on the project Leo?" Leo again wrote in the notebook "How about tonight at my house?" Jimmy read the note and nodded "what time?" Leo wrote down "After school I'll give you a ride home if you'd like." "Okay then after school." they both got their things and head out the door when the final bell rang they head to Leos house which was about 15 minutes away from the school. Leo opened the door and he and Jimmy walked in to the living room they walked up stairs and put their stuff in Leo's room.

They headed down stairs to get a snack when they ran into Leo's aunt "Leo honey what happed to your head are you alright and who is this young man." Hi I'm Jimmy Leo was pushed against a corner of a bookshelf and he got a cut on his head I took him to the nurse said he had to ice it." Oh thank you I'm Leos aunt would you like something are you guys hungry?" "Yes ma'am we were on our way to get a snack right Leo." Leo nodded at his aunt." I think there is still some of that macaroni and cheese Leo made last night". "Leo cooks?" "Oh yes he's very good, he makes delicious food." Jimmy looked over at Leo who was turning red. "Okay ill try some." Leo felt embarrassed that he didn't think his cooking was that good and he didn't think it mattered at all who had made it. Leo and Jimmy walked to the kitchen and he heated up some of his macaroni and cheese and gave some to Jimmy and he got some for himself. After they finished eating they went back to Leo's room to work. "That macaroni and cheese was grate Leo." Leo blushed at the compliment Jimmy gave him. " Let's start the project so its "Light the Sky" right ill look up stuff about Christina Aguilera you can work on the meaning of the song if want." Leo shook his head to agree. They worked independently for about an hour but Leo couldn't stay focused because he kept thinking about Jimmy. He didn't know what it was but he felt something for him but he didn't know what it was.

"Leo why don't you talk?" Jimmy asked and took Leo out of thought. Leo looked at Jimmy and then at the floor his eyes began to water as he remembered what caused his voice to leave him. Jimmy saw that the question hurt Leo and was about to apologize to him when Leo spoke. " It was when I was seven I lost my parents in a car accident I was in the hospital with them while they died." Leo realized that he had spoken and he had left the safety of his mind. He realized that he just stood there and did nothing to safe his parents. This thought broke one of his walls and he began to cry silently. Jimmy couldn't believe that Leo had talked and to see how much it had affected him to speak. "Leo I'm so sorry I didn't mean to.." Before Jimmy could have finished his sentence Leo kissed him passionately on Jimmy's lips. Jimmy was cut off guard but then kissed back. The kiss was now natural for both of them. Leo couldn't understand what he was feeling he had meet Jimmy this morning and now he was having his first kiss with him. Leo was the first one to pull away from the kiss he looked at Jimmy tears still falling down his cheeks and his cheeks blushing. Jimmy looked at Leo and felt something for him he didn't understand why he had thought he was straight then why would he enjoy kissing Leo?

It had been a month since Leo had kissed Jimmy he couldn't stop thinking about him. His lips were soft and smooth as silk Leo and Jimmy have both tried to avoid the subject when it was brought up.

Leo woke up in the middle of the night with a thought that had been in his mind for a long time was Jimmy the one from his dreams or was it in the moment. Leo reached on the nightstand next to his bed for his journal. Leo began to read his thoughts he had written down about Jimmy. He kissed him but did it mean anything? Leo fell asleep again about an hour after waking up. The same ray light hit Leo in his eyes. Leo got up and looked outside his window and looked at the moon in all its beauty. As he went deep into though he wondered if he could just forget about what happened with Jimmy but at the same time he wondered if it happened for a reason. Leo got dressed and left for school. He arrived at the field he grew accustom to going to in the morning. When he arrived there he was surprised to see that someone was already there and they were crying. Leo walked forward toward the figure in the distance slowly to see who it was. Leo couldn't believe his eyes it was Jimmy and he was covered in bruises and bleeding from his lower lip, his eyes red from tears. Leo got up close to him and he put his hand on Jimmy's Shoulder. Jimmy flinched at the touch of someone else he saw it was Leo he was so scared he thought Leo was going to hit him. Leo sat next to Jimmy and put his arm around him and hugged him tightly Jimmy berried his face into Leo's chest and cried even louder. Leo saw that Jimmy couldn't stop crying and he became worried after Jimmy calmed down a little Leo asked him what was wrong. Leo new the only person he could actually talk to was Jimmy. "Leo this guy went into my room last night threw my window and kidnapped me and took me to the woods in n the park next to my house." "What did he do to you?" Jimmy's face became hard and he spoke "He raped me, He raped me Leo I didn't know what to do every time I tried to fight him he would hit me when he stopped he told me never to tell anyone and I ran here to the school after that Leo please don't leave me alone!" Jimmy berried his face deeper into Leo's chest again crying louder than before and he hugged Leo with all his might. Leo eyes began to water how could someone hurt Jimmy like that he held Jimmy tight and kissed him on his forehead. "Don't worry Jimmy I'll never let anyone hurt you again." Leo sat there holding Jimmy in his arms Leo took Jimmy to his house and clean his cuts and bruises, he carried Jimmy up stairs to his room and laid Jimmy down on his bed, he told Jimmy he had to rest and that later they were going to file a police report. As Leo left his room Jimmy said something that made him stop. "Leo please don't leave me alone stay with me." Leo turned around and walked towards Jimmy he looked down at his best friend laying in his bed beaten and bruised. He sat on the floor next to him and stayed there. "Leo could you lay next to me please if you don't want to I'm okay." Leo stood up and got under the covers of his bed and laid next to Jimmy who hugged him tightly. "Leo please protect me." Leo didn't put too much thought into his dissention he hugged Jimmy and whispered in his ear. "I'll never let anyone ever hurt you as long as I'm with you you'll be safe." Jimmy fell asleep in Leo's arms and Leo thought to himself after all these years of being scared, bullied and made fun of he was now going to protect someone he made a promise to himself and Jimmy. I don't care what I have to do I will be by your side no matter what. Leo fell asleep hugging Jimmy while he slept.

Leo woke up to Jimmy's screaming and crying he figured that he had a bad dream. Jimmy was panting and crying histeractly. Leo tried to calm him down but to no avail he could never understand what Jimmy felt. Leo took Jimmy in his arms and hugged him until he stopped crying. Jimmy was sweating and his clothes were full of blood and dirt. Leo took Jimmy to the bath room and told him to take a shower and he gave him some of his clothes to wear after words. While Jimmy took a shower Leo decided to write in his journal about what had happened today. He thought that if he were to protect him he wouldn't leave his side. Jimmy came out of the shower with the clothes Leo had given him. "How do you feel?" "My body hurts and I'm so tired I can't sleep I keep having nightmares Leo." "I'm sorry Jimmy my aunt is going to be home in about 3 hour and well go file the report." "Leo I don't want to file the report." Jimmy said this and then faced the floor. "Why not Jimmy someone raped you, you have to tell the police." Jimmy looked up at Leo and tears came down his cheeks and falling of his chin. Leo looked at him with compassion and he wondered what else happened to Jimmy. "Jimmy this wasn't the first time it happened was it." Jimmy looked down to the floor and shook his head. "How long has this been going on for?" Jimmy made his hands into fists and spoke his voice trembling with fear "Since I moved the same guy keeps going to my house almost every night and raping me he told me if I ever told the police he would kill me." "Jimmy it doesn't matter what he said you have to tell the police do that he can't hurt you or anyone else." Leo didn't realize that Jimmy's began to water. Leo knew he had been insensitive. "Jimmy I didn't mean to." "It's okay Leo if you think it's for the best for me to tell the police what happened I will." Leo noticed tears falling from Jimmy's cheeks. Leo was deep in thought when a loud grumble pulled him out of his thoughts. Jimmy felt embarrassed he saw that Leo had heard his stomach growl and he felt weird. "Sounds like someone hungry." Jimmy and Leo both chuckled a little bit at the comment. Leo and Jimmy walked down to the kitchen and ate. They talked about what had happened Leo tried not to put him through much. They sat in the kitchen for about 3 hours talking. Leo's aunt came into the kitchen and noticed that Jimmy had a lot of bruises on him. "Jimmy what happened to you?" "Aunt Michelle we have to go down to the police station." Leos aunt was stunned she hadn't heard Leo speak since he was seven. "Leo honey your talking." "Aunt Michelle that doesn't matter we need to get to the police station as soon as possible." Leo looked at Jimmy how was sitting there quietly he could still notice the bruises and the cut on his lower lip. "Let's go you two."

Leo and Jimmy both sat in the back of Leo's aunts Honda CR-V. Leo kept thinking to himself am I ready to be there for someone or am I pretending to be something I'm not? Leo looked at Jimmy he could tell that he was scared just by looking at him. Leo cared for Jimmy he honestly did but he wasn't sure what his feelings meant. They were only a few minutes away from the police station they could see it in the distance. "Leo I don't think that I can go through with this I'm scared." Leo looked at Jimmy in the eyes and saw he was truly scared Leo knew how hard this must be for him it was like him talking about his mom and dad. "Jimmy don't worry nothing's going to happen to you I promise, I'll be by your side don't worry." Leo smiled at Jimmy how sheepishly smiled back. They arrived at the police station and got out of the car as they were walking Leo noticed that
Jimmy was still uneasy and he told his aunt to go on ahead. "You ready?" "Im still a little scared Leo." "don't be its going to be okay." Leo extended his hand to Jimmy "I'll be right here." After a short pause Jimmy held Leos hand and they headed onto the police station. Leo thought that the placed reeked of drugs and alcohol. Leo and Jimmy walked up to an open window were a skinny African American woman with long black hair helped them. "Hello boys what brings you here today?" Leo looked at Jimmy whose face was pale and his eye dim. "I have been raped repeatedly by a guy and beaten." The woman's face showed compassion. "I'm so sorry sweetheart I'll a police man you can talk to and a sketch artist I'll go and get you when they're ready."

Leo and Jimmy went to sit down in the corner of the waiting room. Leo was happy for Jimmy but he knew that the most difficult is yet to come. "Leo." "Yeah I know it's a pretty bad timing right now but do you remember when…" "Jimmy come on the police man is here." Jimmy sat there looking at the woman. "Can Leo come in with me please?'' The lady saw that jimmy was holding Leo's hand and understood immediately. "No problem if it will make you feel more comfortable Leo can go in with you." Jimmy smiled at Leo who smiled back and they walked behind the woman to the room were a tall Police officer with blonde hair and mustache was waiting for them. "Hello boys my name is Officer Gonzalez I'm just going to ask you a few questions Jimmy." Leo felt Jimmy's grip tighten he could feel Jimmy's uneasiness."First off how long has the raping been going on by the look on your face this isn't the first time." JImmy looked down and then back to at Officer Gonzalez. "For the last month a guy has been going into my room and raping me." Leo looked at Jimmy he knew Jimmy was trying to be strong, he was happy that Jimmy was doing this. "Do you know who this person is?" "No ser I don't know who it is all I remember is how he looked like." "Okay I'm going to call in the sketch artist in and he'll work with you I just want you to know that you did the right thing we are going to do whatever it takes to make sure that person never hurts you again." The police officer left the room and a skinny white male walked in and he and Jimmy were talking about how the guy looked like. Leo was thinking before they went in to see the detective what was Jimmy going to ask him about. He thought that he might have brought up their kiss. Leo felt a tug and looked up Jimmy and the sketch artists were done. Leo got up and walked with Jimmy and they drove to Leo's house Jimmy was too scared to sleep at his house and so he stayed over at Leo's house. Leo and Jimmy slept together in Leo's bed falling asleep in each other's arms.

Jimmy woke up in the middle of the night and noticed that Leo wasn't next to him he got out of bed and went to look for him. Jimmy found Leo sitting in nothing but a black V-neck and black underwear on the balcony of his room. He could tell that Leo was upset he saw small tears flow from his eyes and he was looking at the moon. Leo looked at the moon and thought about his parents and how much he missed them. He almost forgot that today counts eight years since their death. Ever since then Leo wouldn't talk but know his life changed because of a boy a boy who he barely knew but had feelings for. Jimmy walked slowly towards Leo and sat next to him. Leo turned and saw Jimmy "Why aren't you sleeping Jimmy?" " I woke up and noticed you were gone and I wanted to know if you were okay." "I'm fine Jimmy go back to sleep." "Then why are you crying?" Im not Crying Jimmy said Leo wiping away his tears. "Leo who are you trying to convince me or you? What's wrong I want to know." Leo gave a small grin at Jimmy's determination to know what was wrong with him. "Its nothing I promise, I'm okay." Jimmy pouted and leaned his head on Leo's shoulder and gave him the puppy dog stare. "Come on Leo you know you can trust me." Leo laughed and smiled and figured he wasn't going to let it go until he knew. "Today marks the eighth year since my parents died and I couldn't sleep I needed to be at peace." Jimmy rememberd how Leo got the last time he spoke and how he began to cry. '' Oh wow Leo I'm sorry I didn't mean to…" Don't worry about it Jimmy I think I'm finally getting used to speak my mind." Jimmy notice more tears fall down Leo's cheeks. Leo smiled and kept looking at the moon. "Jimmy go back to bed I'll be back in a few minutes." Jimmy walked back and laid in Leo's bed waiting for him. Leo got off the balcony of his room and said softly to himself. "Know if only I could tell you I love you."

Leo woke up and noticed Jimmy wasn't next to him. He got out of bed and went to brush his teeth. When Leo opened the door he saw that Jimmy was coiming out of the shower and he saw him naked. Leo felt more sorry for Jimmy he could now see all the bruises the rapist had done to him. Jimmy quickly covered himself with a towel. "Leo what are you doing in here?" "Jimmy all those bruises are from the guy?" Jimmy look at Leo and his eyes watered. "Yes leo all the bruises you saw are from the guy." Jimmy began to cry. Leo hugged Jimmy and jimmy cried into Leo's chest. Leo held Jimmy in his arms and calmed him down. Leo left jimmy so he could change. Leo Walked out side his room to his balcony. Leo couldn't get the picture out of his head all the bruises on Jimmys body. Jimmy walked out to the balcony an sat next to Leo. "Leo now that theres nothing that can interupt us can we talk about when you kissed me?" Leo looked at Jimmy and smiled and he figured that they were going to have to talk about it anyway. "What about it?" Jimmy's face became red "Well when you kissed me I umm… uhh…" Leo laughed a little at seeing how nervous Jimmy was. "Don't worry Jimmy I wont do it again." Jimmy eyes widened " I didn't mean that i…" "Don't worry Jimmy I understand your straight and I'm not in to you." Those last words hurt leo to say them because he knew he loved being with Jimmy and wanted them to be more than friends. Jimmy felt his heart break he was finally going to aceppt the fact the he like guys and Leo was the guy he liked. Jimmy got up and left the balcony heart broken he wondered if Leo even liked him at all. Leo and Jimmy laid in the bed he shared with Leo and began to cry quiately he knew that If Leo didn't feel the same way he did there was no use of him still being here. Leo sat on hos balcony and wrote in his journal and thought to himself why didn't I just tell him I liked him. Jimmy walked out to the balcony with tears in his eyes. "Leo Im going home." Leo was cought off guard by Jimmys statement. "Why?" "Because Leo I want to go home I don't want to saty here knowing you don't like me." Leo was in total shock Jimmy just told him he liked him. "Jimmy I…" "Don't worry Leo I'll be okay bye." Jimmy turend around and left Leo's room Leo ran after Jimmy he was going to try to convince him to stay. Jimmy got into his dads car and he left Leo was too late. Leo felt crushed he found out Jimmy liked him and he let him go.

Later on that day Leo tried to txt Jimmy but Jimmy wouldn't Txt back, he called but was sent straight to voicemail. Leo became worried was it his fault that Jimmy was upset. "Who I'm I kidding it is my fault I just should have told him I liked him!" Jimmy was at his house in his room on his bed. "Leo I love you." Jimmy began to think about how much had been through with Leo in such a short time. He wished that Leo felt theh same way. Tears filled Jimmy's eyes he began to cry softly not making a sound he knew Leo had tried to reach him but he knew if he was to get over Leo he would have to cut him off. Jimmy fell asleep crying. Leo sat in his balcony and thought to himself. I should go find jimmy and tell him I like him. Leo kept thinking about doing this but he was scared the old thoughts came back to his mind. "If I loose him wil I go back to being the person I used to be." Leo grabed his journal and began to read everything he had written since he had meet Jimmy. Leo got to the page were he had written about his dream. He noticed that Jimmy had things in common with the person in his dream. The warm embrace, the feeling of happiness and the kiss. "I knew that there was something but I didn't want to accept it. Im going to tell him no matter what. Leo head out the door and ran to Jimmy's house.

Jimmy woke up to the feeling of a hand on his mouth. "You sstupid son of a bitch I told you not to tell the police get the fuck up or ill kill you!" Jimmy got out of his and felt the man touch him he moved his hand up and down Jimmy's back. "don't even try to run or ill shot your fucking brains out!" Jimmy felt a gun touch this head. The man tied Jimmy up and carried him to the park like the last time he had raped him. Jimmy tried to struggle but the man didn't care. When they got to the park the man put jimmy down on the floor. He began to kiss Jimmys neck he tore jimmys clothes leaving him naked and started to hit him. Jimmy beganto cry he knew what was coming next he wished someone could help him but he knew that if he made a noise hed die. The man hit jimmy with a branch he had found and jimmy had bruises and cuts with every swing. Jimmy knew that he would die if this didn't stop. "Know come your favorite part you piece of shit,'' Jimmy closed his eyed in pain and he didn't want to see what was going to happen next.

Leo got to Jimmys house and knocked on the door. Jimmys dad answered the door Him and Jimmy had the same color eyes. "Excuse me can I talk to Jimmy." "Your Leo arent you?' "Yes sir." "Thank you so much for helping my son you can come in hes in his room up satirs." "Thank Mr. Bennett." Leo walked to Jimmys room and knocked on the door. "Jimmy its Leo can we talk?'' Leo got nothinjg in response. "Come on Jimmy please I need to tell you something important." Stil no response came Leo's way. Leo became frustriated and opened the saw that jimmy was gone and he saw that the window was open. "Oh no Jimmy!" Leo jumped out of the window and ran to the park next to Jimmys house. "Im coming Jimmy!" Leo got to the Park and ran into the woods. "at this point I don't care what happens to me as long jimmy's okay." Jimmy felt like he was in hell the man was touching his naked body. "Your so soft kid I wish I could just take you and keep you in my basement forever but they'll come looking for you, ha who am I kidding no one cares about you." Jimmy felt even worse no one did care about him if someone did would he be alone right now. Leo was franticly runing through the woods he stopped momentarily and call the nine one one he told the woman that the rapist that was reported a few days ago had the victim again. "I just hope im not too late."

Leo kept running he found shoe tracks and he fallowed them to see if they could lead them to Jimmy.

"Lookie here Jimmy aperrently someone does care about you stupid fool after im done with him im coming to try the new product." The man grabbed jimmy and began to rape him again.

Leo ran over to Jimmy who was tied up and shaking and crying. He held jimmy in his arms and Jimmy berried his face into Leo's chest. "Its okay Jimmy He wont hurt you anymore its finally over."

It had been two days since Leo saved Jimmy from his rapist who turned out to be David the boy who bullied Leo. Leo had a large bandage covening were he was stabbed he had to use crouches for two weeks. Jimmy got out of the hospital yesterday he was in deep care because of all the bruces and cuts he had gotten. Leo decided now that everything has over he could tell Jimmy how he felt. Leo was getting ready to go to Jimmy's house when he heard his phone ring. "Hello." "Hi Leo its Jimmy." "I know I have caller I.D." "Haha very funny I wanted to know if you wanted to go to that medow in the woods?" "The woods jimmy are you sure?" "Yeah Leo im sure ill meat you there in 10 minutes." "Okay Jimmy im on my way."

"Its funny isnt it Leo?" "What do you mean?" ''We meat about two mounths ago and already we've been trough so much together." "I know its so werid how much you have changed me."
