It was the little things, why he wouldn't have anyone over to his place,
He looked at his boy: Randall Boa Vista as he was wrenching on one of his rides
"How many makes this one?" Liam asked as he heard a groan
"Less than thirty…when I'm not busy I'll give you a detailed count of my rides." Randy groaned out as Liam nodded at that and then when they heard Sonar pulses he saw Randy just drop his head as he then grabbed his cell and slid his finger across the screen then put it to his ear
"What did she do this time?" he asked in a tired sigh then as he nodded he sighed
It was later on when Liam got out of his GTO and went up to his boy's house. He pulled out a wallet and picked the lock to get inside the house and as he did, he could hear sobbing as he went in
Liam found Randy curled up in a ball surrounded by bottles and then he couldn't believe it as he crouched down and put his hand on Randy's face
"Randy…" Liam whispered as he saw Randy look at something and Liam just got up and saw the cabinet doors were opened half of them filled with booze…
"All she cared about is where she was going to get her next drink…and if it's not that…sleeping with guys from Pali-Hall and Beverly High…" Randy whispered at that then he looked at Liam with tears in his eyes
"I…I can't take it! I've been dealing with this since I was a fucking kid and dad walking out on us. Back then; it wasn't bad she went from lightweight to casual to social to high school social then Frat and finally overboard. The Overboard started six months ago…it doesn't matter if I bring home A's or B's all she cares about is the next cock to suck, to fuck and get drunk." Randy replied as he saw Liam get up and then pull Randy up onto his feet
"Where's your room?" he asked as Randy just blindly headed for it and when they got there; Liam walked in and started to find empty duffle bags as it took Liam clearing out his dresser drawer to realize and it was like Liam could sense it.
"No you need to do this…do you really want to continue like this?" he asked as he saw Randy just close his eyes and was wondering why Randy pulled out his cell but all Liam needed to hear was the sounds of three tones and he knew
"My name is Randall Boa Vista…most likely you're seeing my address on your screen… I need the nearest sector car and bus to my house…ever since my dad left when I was four; my mom started a gradual and slow increase in her drinking…six months ago she graduated from Frat drinking to Overboard hardcore drinking…all she cares about is where she'll get her next drink or the next cock to suck or fuck as she's been going through all the males at Pali-Hall and Beverly High from ninth grade to teachers…she buys booze for the students and they party here. And when I hit 15 I had to stop having a life to take care of her when she's like this. I'm requesting help in getting emancipated by judge…it took a really good friend to help me realize that I can't live like this any longer or I'll just lose it and kill my mom." Randy replied with his eyes closed as he nodded at that
"Thank you…"
Liam stood there as he saw Randy then look at him
"No…I made sure she would pay by credit card each time she went out I made sure all she had were her cards…she's not here…you can trace her cell phone." And Randy gave it to the operators as they got a lock on it a few minutes later
When Randy finished, Liam was loading up Randy's Impreza…the one with the Yoo-hoo design as he thought it would be better. And he took some of Randy's gear into his ride…including Randy's Surf boards and wetsuits.
Luckily Liam's parents were gone on a two month honeymoon starting last week so he had the house to himself.
Randy and Liam brought the gear in and into his room as Randy just sat on the bed heavily and Liam joined him. He put an arm around Randy's shoulder and then he heard Randy break down and cry again.
Liam knew that Randy was at the end of his rope…he knew it and he was glad that Randy let him save him.
Liam then eased them onto the bed as he pulled Randy into his arms and stayed like that till Randy fell asleep…which he did a few hours later.
Liam then got up and took off Randy's boots and just stripped him to his boxers and left a note as he went downstairs.
Liam just sighed as he was topless and leaned against the Island counter in the kitchen
He knew that Randy didn't want to admit it, he didn't want it to be real but he knew that Randy took big steps today
Liam also wanted to tell Randy that he was attracted to him; but knew that would have to be put on the backburner till he felt Randy was ready for that revelation.
He just ran his hands through his beard wondering what to do when he just decided to let Randy set the pace
He then went back up as he set down the two liter bottle of Nestea and watched Randy sleep. Randy woke up a few hours later as Liam saw him sit up and look around then at Liam
"Thank you." Randy replied as Liam nodded at that
"No worries man, you're my boy." Liam replied smiling as Randy nodded at that and then Randy looked at Liam
"Lee…thank you for giving me that life line; I really needed it man; I mean I'm going through a lot in my life and my mom and her drunken acts and her crap is 80 percent of it." As Liam looked at Randy
"What's the rest of it?" Liam asked as Randy sighed
"I've discovered that I have a thing for guys and you're the only person I want to know. I just don't want to lose…" Randy started as Liam moved over and put a comforting arm around Randy's waist
"It's cool with me man, I just want you to be happy." Liam replied as Randy nodded at that and sighed as he felt a big weight was lifted off of his shoulders at that.
"Nothing is going to change between us; you have me and the others…besides if Ryan, myself, you, Harry and Navid could handle Ethan coming out of the closet and dating George…we can handle anything." Liam replied as he saw RJ smile
"Yeah, there you go; that's what I want to see." Liam replied as Randy looked at him
"Half of my cars are at Santa Monica Airport hangar 6 and 7; Lee…does it make me bad in the way that I stopped caring about her? I haven't been able to have friends over, hang out, or do what I want to do because of her." That's when Liam saw Randy turn on the light; and moved it so Liam could see; he saw the wound on Randy's right arm that's as wide as two fingers spread. Part of the skin looks like a skin graph after having surgery on the arm; pins being placed inside and he had the option to go under the knife again to clear it up but he never did.
Liam took Randy's right arm into his hand and he felt Liam tracing it as he KNEW he did the right thing by getting Randy out of there.
That week;
Their relationship increased, and in the locker room during gym, Liam was there for Randy as they showered together before and after… and during class Liam was there when they saw the news break the story about his mom.
They saw Randy just start to spaz out Volcano style…and Liam was trying to get Randy to look at him so it took him five times to bitch slap Randy enough to distract him.
Liam then took Randy and slammed him into the wall and in an authoritative tone
"Randall I want you calm, I want you cool NOW!" Liam barked out as he saw me staring at him and then slowly nod as he nodded too
He also knew who the hell was responsible for leaking it and he would deal with Naomi when he got back
50 minutes later
Liam kicks in the door and storms over to Naomi lifting her up out of her seat and slammed her into the wall.
He then held her head straight as he stared into her eyes making damn sure that she was looking right into his irises.
"Look here, you bleached blond bitch. Just because I WON'T go out with your sorry skank ass; does not give you the fucking right to go blab to the press and the media. So I'm going to tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to go watch him and hope he doesn't try and take his life again for the sixth time over his mother's drinking…I have a feeling that Randy would know exactly what criminal charges you did as would the cops. Mess with me or him; and you'll be asking yourself "Why do I get the feeling I'm not carrying enough life insurance?" right after seeing me and Randy." He then stepped back as Naomi looked horrified and Liam left as he could hear her start to cry.
When he got home, he found Randy…in the Jacuzzi taking a long soak
"Is there room for one more?" Liam asked as he started to get undressed while he saw Randy had his eyes closed
