Chapter 35

"I'm sorry, Mr. Webb, I guess I came at a bad time, but this called for immediate action," stressed Tiner. "Otherwise I would have let it go and waited."

"Yes, I think I understand. What did you need to tell me?" he asked dreading to hear. "Have a seat, this could take awhile."

"No, Sir, I'd much rather stand," replied Jason. "I came home from work to find Tom and MJ locked in each others arms and kissing. I don't know how far it went, Sir, but I do know that those are MJ's jeans."

"Tom, what have you got to say for yourself?" asked his angry father.

"I told you that I love MJ, what more do you want me to say?" Tom asked

"You're too young to know what love is, so I'll hear no more of that, Thomas," ordered Clay. "Tiner, keep your son away from my boy. This wouldn't be happening if he had a normal family life. If I catch him back here I'll get a restraining order. Have I made myself understood?"

"Dad, just because you don't like the idea doesn't mean you have the right to rule my life! MJ has a better life than I do! And you can't keep us apart!"

"Watch me! I'll send your little ass to military school and you'll be crying every night for mommie," warned Clay. "Now go to your room and get out of those jeans so Tiner can take them home to MJ."

"Oh yeah, dad, that's a great idea! Send your gay son to an all male school! You sure you don't want them right here and now?" Tom unzipped them to reveal he had on no underwear.

Clay reached over and grabbed him by the scruff of his neck, "Son, keep it up and I'll see you don't see the light of day for a good long time. I'll also see you don't see another male for five years. If you don't believe me then try me, son."

"You know in this day and age, I would think you would just want me to be happy, guess that crap about loving me was all wrong too? Do what you like. You can't stop love, dad, it will always find a way," he left the room took off MJ's jeans and writing his email and cell phone number on a small piece of paper he stuffed it in the pocket then took the pants back to the living room. "Mr. Tiner please tell MJ...never mind..." he left the room again.

"Tiner, I appreciate your bring Thomas home. But I would really like for you to keep MJ away from him. He's a bad influence on Thomas at this vulnerable stage in his life. If I have to I will take out that restraining order to keep him away. I will even send Thomas away from his home and family to keep the two apart."

"I understand Mr. Webb and will have a long talk with MJ just as soon as I get home. I apologize for everything and hope we can nip this in the bud," responded Tiner. "Have a good day, Mr. Webb."

"It's a bit late for that Tiner. I trust you can find your way out and don't forget the jeans," replied Clay turning to find one peaceful place in the whole house. Wherever Becky was.

Going home embarrassed after his conversation with Clayton Webb, Tiner went looking for Michael. Opening his son's bedroom door, he found him lying on the bed playing a CD.

"Michael, we need to talk," signed Jason.

"Sure, Jason, what about?" asked MJ sitting up on the bed and crossing his legs.

"What about? I come home and find you with Clayton Webb's son locked in each other's arms, kissing and you want to know what about! Not only that but he was wearing your jeans," he yelled throwing the jeans at MJ.

"Chill Jason, he was just wanting to experiment and I was helping him. If not me then it would be somebody else." shrugged MJ.

"Then let it be somebody else or Webb will have a restraining order signed and filed against you. You are not to go over to see Tom again. If he gets that order and you break it then it'll cost us money and could put you in juvenile detention or worse yet, one of us in jail."

"Jason! He's my only friend."
