2. Chapter 2 To Discover Love

Confessions of A Hidden Truth;

Jim almost ran from the classroom in his effort to get away from both the topic of his nightmares and his supposed adopted brother. He had worked hard to cover his tracks and now, this assignment may have just ruined everything. Jim just went straight to his and Bones' dorm room. Once there he flung himself onto his bed and stared at the ceiling. His past was hidden for a reason and he did not want anyone to find out. If they did he would be an object of pity, horror and disgust. He just couldn't deal with that from anyone. The door of the dorm swung open. He glanced at who was standing in the doorway. His two best friends, Gaila and Bones' stood there with worry etched on his face. He sighed and sat up. Maybe it was time that someone heard at least part of his story.

'Hey' said Gaila 'What's going on? How did Prof. Spock know you?' Jim sighed once again.

'My life,' he started 'has never been simple and has been filled with pain. If I tell you, you will be disgusted with me.' They both entered the room properly and sat down either side of me.

'Never Jim' said Gaila 'I'm an Orion, I could never be disgusted with one of the few who can resist the pheromones and Leo is a doctor, he won't be either. You can tell us anything because we love you.' She gently kissed his cheek.

'She's right' said Bones 'You can tell us. We wouldn't care, even if you tell us you were JTK' he laughed slightly. Jim just remained silent. Gaila gasped. Jim stood and removed his shirt revealing all of the torture and 'training' scars.

'I have many names,' Jim started 'one of which is JTK and another the name that my Vulcan parent gave to me, Surel.' Gaila stood and gently traced a scar that ran from his shoulder to his hip.

'You can tell us anything Jim' she said 'You can tell me anything and I would still love you, this changes nothing.'

'My story starts the day I was born…'
