Chapter One

All heads in the classroom turned towards the doorway when it suddenly opened about five minutes into class.

There were four boys walking into the classroom. One, the oldest, was Caleb Danvers: short black hair, dark brown eyes, well toned muscles, tall (about 6'5"), deep bass voice, and a slightly Native American complexion. The second one was Pogue Parry, the second oldest. He had light brown hair that traveled to his shoulders in a slight wave, hazel eyes, a beautiful baritone voice, a tan and muscled body, and he was only two inches shorter than Caleb. The next two boys were the youngest, but just as gorgeous as their friends. Reid Garwin had blonde hair that wasn't quite as short as Caleb's, blue eyes, a low tenor voice, slightly paler skin than the others, and he was just about as tall as Pogue. Tyler Simms, who was the youngest, had short dark brown hair, warm emerald green eyes, a smaller frame than his friends' yet still some muscle, and he had a very delicately musical yet deep alto voice. All four of the boys were strikingly beautiful and well known throughout Spenser Academy as The Sons of Ipswich.

The four Sons were rumored to be the descendents of a 17th century coven of witches. The four are said to be warlocks who attain even more power when they ascend on their eighteenth birthday; this is true. There were originally five families in the old coven and up until last semester at their school they thought the fifth had died off… they were almost tragically wrong.

The fifth Son, a boy named Chase Collins, had come to Spenser as just a regular guy. He tried to befriend Caleb and the others but couldn't gain all their trust. He sent Pogue's girlfriend and Pogue himself to the hospital. He threatened to kill Sarah, a blonde beauty who had her eyes on Caleb, and almost succeeded. He used Sarah against Caleb and tried to steal Caleb's powers as he ascended. He probably would have succeeded if Caleb's father hadn't willed him his own powers, making him incredibly strong. Supposedly, Chase was killed in the old barn that had burnt down because of the fight that took place inside its ancient walls. However, the firefighters found no trace of Chase what-so-ever. The mystery of Chase and his fate is still a constant worry for the beautiful Sons, especially now when the last of them would be ascending…

As the boys took their seats, all the girls smiled invitingly at them, the boys glared. The girls loved them; the guys were jealous, that's the way it always was.

The teacher resumed his droning lesson on the dead and old writers of Old England. He didn't care why his students were late, someone always was it seemed. They probably had some bad excuse anyway…

"Psst… Reid," a very busty and beautiful raven-haired girl whispered as the blonde-haired Son took his seat next to her, "You want to do something with me tonight?" She smiled kinkily at him and crossed her legs to make her skirt rise slightly.

Reid gave her an appreciative glance, his eyes running over her long legs… He grinned at her and she swooned as the expression caused many more girls around the class to sigh in contentment. "When should I pick you up?" he asked her, switching from his grin to a haughty smile that only brought on more female attention.

She smiled and said that it didn't matter to her. She wrote her number down on a piece of paper and slid it into his pocket, her hand seeming to linger on his leg. "Call me," she said in his ear before pulling away to listen to the teacher.

Caleb watched this whole thing from his seat two rows behind the blonde with something between boredom and nausea. He turned his head slightly toward the youngest of his friends. Tyler sat on Reid's other side, where he always sat. He smiled at Reid and said: "You are such a whore." Reid laughed and agreed, obviously missing the look of pain shoot through the younger teen's green eyes. Caleb could have choked Reid for being so stupid. How could the blonde be so close to Tyler and yet be completely blind to his obvious affections?

He and Pogue had caught up on Tyler's feelings and had cornered him about them. It took some persuading, but they finally got the youngest of them to admit his feelings for the blonde. Pogue had wanted him to tell Reid, he and Caleb could both see how much it hurt Tyler when Reid would boast to him about the girls he had been with, but he had refused. He had been adamant about never telling Reid how he felt because he clearly liked girls and maybe one day it would stop, maybe he would stop loving Reid the way he did. Caleb and Pogue had let it go, not wanting to push Tyler after already making him admit to something that was undoubtedly hard on him, but they could see that Tyler's feelings wouldn't get any better. In fact, Tyler had come to them soon after and admitted that they were getting worse. Tyler was hurting and Reid was an imbecile.

To make it easier on Tyler though, he was ascending soon, and Caleb had all the sarcasm he could muster when he thought this. So, not only was he hurting from unrequited love, but to top it off he was worried about ascending. Then of course, there was the whole Chase issue. Caleb had the strongest feeling that the fifth Son was not gone, far from it. He believed, and had told his friends, that Chase would come back, even more dangerous than before. Caleb could have grabbed whatever higher being ruled over them by the throat and strangled him for all the strife he'd laid upon Tyler's life. Tyler was the baby of the group, and Caleb had always had the biggest urge to protect him; Pogue had admitted to feeling the same way. Standing by as Tyler was hurting inside and out drove Caleb and Pogue insane; what good came of having some great power when they couldn't even use it to make things easier on one of their closest friends?

Pogue, who sat next to Caleb, nudged him to get his attention. When Caleb was looking at him he nodded towards Reid as he flirted with the girl next to him. "I wish I could beat some sense into him," he practically growled out, watching as Tyler's eyes filled with more and more hurt. "Why is he such a slutty asshole?" Caleb agreed wholeheartedly.

Pogue admired his youngest friend though. He thought it very brave of him to act normal around Reid, and to act as if he wasn't hurting inside. He was incredibly strong because he could still smile around the one he loved even when said loved one bragged on and on about the girls he'd slept with. When Reid asked Tyler for help with his dates, like giving him a ride or loaning him some money, Tyler would roll his eyes but then smile and help out in any way he could. He was always happy to help Reid, with anything. Pogue would have snapped by now. He would have either admitted his feelings or tried to stay as far away from Reid as he could. Reid was obnoxious when it came to women, and Pogue had not the slightest doubt in his head that Tyler got all the dirty details when they were alone in their room. This was another thing… Reid and Tyler were roommates… How could Tyler stand it?

Not only did Reid and Tyler spend all their school time together, but they spent it away from school the same way. They were both on the swim team with Caleb and Pogue. They both thoroughly enjoyed hanging out at Nicky's, a local hangout equipped with good food and pool tables, and then they shared a dorm. They had all their classes together, they sat together at lunch, they hung out together when Reid wasn't out with some new girl, and then at the end of the day they shared a small little room with two beds. Pogue concluded that Tyler was hurting constantly throughout the day, not even being able to heal at night when he slept seeing as how he basically slept with the source of his pain. That alone made Pogue want to wring Reid's neck. He loved Reid, he did; they were like brothers but… Gods… He knew Reid was stupid, he was always teasing the blonde about it, but how could the idiot not see the constant pain he was putting Tyler through? One day Tyler wasn't going to be able to smile through his pain; Pogue hoped it didn't take Reid that long to notice. He feared that Tyler would never be the same if that happened…

Lunch

Reid watched as his best friend hardly touched his food. Sure, it was lunchroom food, but it wasn't that bad… He was just sitting there twirling the noodles around on his fork. "Tyler," he said, causing his friend to jump. Tyler looked to him with that smile on his face… Honestly, did Tyler think he was stupid? He knew something was wrong… although he couldn't even begin to fathom what it was. Why had Tyler been acting so strange lately? He was even more quiet than usual and he had that stupid smile on his face. If he hadn't known Tyler so well, he wouldn't have noticed how odd the smile looked, how fake it was and how… ugly it was… Yes, he thought his friend had a pretty smile (he was man enough to admit to it) so why was Tyler not really showing it? There was the matter of his ascending soon, of course, but that couldn't be it… Damn it… what was it? "What's with you lately?" he asked his friend.

Tyler's green eyes looked tired as he replied. "Nothing, I'm just not hungry…" He continued to twiddle his fork around in his school bought spaghetti.

"You're lying!" Reid exclaimed, angry. What could Tyler not tell him? Weren't they best friends? He told Tyler everything, from how much he hated his professors to his next big date… Hmm… That was it! Tyler had always been shy, if he had someone he liked, he wouldn't exactly tell Reid about it; he would expect him to figure it out on his own… Reid sat back in his seat, proud of himself for figuring out his friend's problem…

"What?" Tyler asked him, his green eyes confused as he caught sight of Reid's sudden smirk.

"Nothing," Reid replied, not letting his friend know he had him figured out. Now, if only he knew who it was that Tyler was, now quite obviously, in love with…

"Hey guys," Caleb said as he sat down next to Tyler, Pogue sitting across from him. "How's it going?" He noticed Reid's smirk. "What's with him?" he asked Tyler; the boy shrugged and looked down at his barely nibbled food. Caleb sent a concerned look to Pogue who returned it.

"Is the spaghetti that bad?" Pogue asked their youngest friend, knowing full well why the boy wasn't eating.

Tyler mentally groaned. Pogue knew perfectly well why he had barely touched his food. Must he point it out…? "I'm not hungry," he replied, sticking to what he had told Reid. His stomach clenched painfully; he was starving… He hadn't been able to eat a good meal at all since the beginning of the week, exactly two weeks before he ascended. First, he was nervous, any food he got down was rejected by his nerves and it came back up. Then, there was Reid… he was going on another date; he had been doing so well too. This would be his first date in a month almost. Tyler had been hoping Reid had lost interest in screwing everything in a skirt… apparently not; he'd gotten six numbers that morning alone. Tyler's stomach clenched painfully again, this time hunger wasn't the cause. He stood up, taking his tray with him and said, "I think I'll go to the library. I have some homework I forgot to do."

Reid and the others watched as he lazily dumped his tray and exited the lunchroom. They all had the same thought: Since when did Tyler forget to do his homework?

Reid smirked at his two remaining friends. "Have you noticed how odd Tyler has been acting lately?" he asked. The two shared a knowing look and nodded; Reid smiled. "I have too, and I think I've figured out why…"

Caleb's eyebrows shot up to his hairline, Pogue's following suit. Could it be that Reid had finally figured it out?

"He's found some girl that he's mad for and he's too shy to tell us…"

No… it couldn't…

Caleb sighed, trying to find some way to correct the blonde without downright telling him… "What if it's not a girl?" he questioned, Pogue shooting him a warning glare.

Reid looked surprised, almost as if Caleb had slapped him in the face. "Not a girl?" he repeated, making sure he had heard right. His oldest friend nodded an affirmation. "Hmm…" He suddenly gasped, "You could be right!" Pogue and Caleb looked at him for an explanation. "Well," he began, "you have to see how uncomfortable he is in the showers after swim practice. And how he always looks a little green when I talk about all the girls I date… I think you're right… Tyler is gay."

Pogue could have broken Reid's nose for his stupidity. It didn't seem to Pogue that Tyler was gay; he didn't like guys, he liked Reid. In his opinion there was a huge difference; in fact, Tyler had never been known to like anyone except for Reid. He wasn't uncomfortable in the showers because of his teammates; he was uncomfortable because Reid always chose the stall next to him. And he didn't look green when Reid would go into detail about his dates with girls because they involved girls; he went green because they involved Reid. Pogue was sure that each time Reid described a date he'd been on, which almost always ended with sex, it cut a little deeper into Tyler's heart. The blonde was just giving himself away to any girl with a pretty face, while Tyler most likely sulked in their room and dreaded when Reid would come back because he'd then have to hear about another person to have a taste of Reid when he never could. How could Reid call himself Tyler's best friend when his actions were tearing through said friend's heart and killing him?

Pogue wanted to grab Reid's empty tray and bang it over the idiot's blonde head for a while. Maybe if he hit hard enough, he'd knock the stupid off his brain. He was certainly willing to give it a try…

Caleb watched as Pogue's hands twitched towards the blonde's lunch tray. He smirked, basically reading the long-haired biker's thoughts. He would have loved to let his friend beat some sense into Reid's thick skull. Unfortunately… He swatted Pogue's hands away, the blonde not even noticing. He was too busy looking around the lunchroom for a guy he deemed worthy of his friend's affections. Pogue glared in retaliation then put his hand in his pocket, but not before making a strangling motion towards Reid when his back was turned. Caleb nodded, fully understanding the feeling. His own hands itched to force Reid to see since he obviously couldn't do it himself. He hoped more than anything that it would be sooner rather than later when Reid would finally notice. Even if Reid didn't return Tyler's feelings, which Caleb thought would happen, he would still help Tyler feel better. He would help him find somebody worthy and Tyler would be able to smile for real. The suspense was killing Caleb the most…

After School

"Simms!" the enraged swim coach yelled angrily, gesturing with his clipboard for Tyler to come to him. The boy did so nervously. "What was that?" the coach exclaimed, glaring at one of his best swimmers. He had been informed by one of the boy's friends that he had not been feeling well; Danvers had said that he could barely eat his lunch. He liked to think of himself as an understanding guy; if one of his boys was supposedly feeling ill, he'd cut them some slack. They were his boys and he loved all of them as if they were his own sons. However, when of those boys was as good as Tyler Simms and could only swim the time he had just gotten, sick or not, he needed a hell of a good excuse. Not: 'He couldn't even eat his lunch.' He glared expectantly at the green-eyed boy.

Tyler fidgeted under the angry scrutiny of his coach. He knew he had done a bad job, but he just hadn't felt like swimming. Which was odd for him; swimming had always made him feel better, no matter what. However, not even the cool feeling of water against his skin could lift his spirits. If he wasn't distracted by his upcoming ascension, then he was distracted by thoughts of Reid. He could somewhat clear his head of his dreaded eighteenth birthday, but Reid was stuck. He could either hear the blonde talking with their teammates or he could watch him as he glided through the water, his muscles rippling with every stroke he made. It was like torture.

"Well…?" his coach prompted, expectantly.

"I'm sorry Coach, just a little distracted. Would you like me to try again?" he asked, knowing the coach would approve of his answer. He loved it anytime the guys offered to try harder because he believed it was his excellent coaching skills building up their want and need to be better.

As expected, the coach nodded approvingly. "Yes," he said, "and your speed better be doubled this time…" he finished with a grin.

Tyler nodded and smiled, something he felt he'd been doing a lot lately. Why was he the one feeling like this? Why did he have to be the weird one? He was the one that followed the rules, he was the one who actually did his school work, he was the one whom everyone assumed was the only normal one of the four Sons… How wrong they were… Why did he, the one who did everything the way he was supposed to, have to be the most abnormal of all of them?

He walked to the board that he would have to dive off of, waiting for his coach to blow the whistle.

Why did he have to fall in love with one of the biggest players in school, who just so happened to also be his best friend? Why did Reid have such a hold on him when he obviously liked girls? What did he see in his obnoxiously girl-horny best friend?

He dived into the pool as he heard the high-pitched tweet of his coach's whistle.

Why did he even care for someone who would never return his feelings? Sure, Reid was gorgeous; he had all the girls in school throwing themselves at him. His pale blonde hair was always styled as if he had just woken up and his cool blue eyes always sparkled when he smiled genuinely. He had the perfect body that tons of guys wished they could have, with broad shoulders and lean muscles; his skin was a pale, creamy color that caused people to drool. He was just as beautiful as Caleb and Pogue: why couldn't Tyler like one of them? They didn't screw anything in a skirt and then describe it in full detail to him later.

Tyler's heart clenched. Reid might as well have been carving into Tyler's chest with a butcher knife every time he got back from a date and decided to share his experience with him. He felt his heart tear every time Reid discussed how he'd felt while with some girl. He thought it would get easier to listen to and that his heart would harden to the painful talks, but it didn't get better, it got worse. And when Reid was asleep and Tyler was basically alone, he could barely breathe from the pain that racked his body. His body would always shake with the effort it took for him not to cry and scream from the horrible ache in his chest.

Tyler was suddenly glad that he was in the water. This way, when he got out of the pool, no one would notice his tears…
