22: Too Far
=Harvey's POV=
[June 21st, 2017]
I could finally say that everything was perfect in my life. I had my parents, my Godfather, my aunt, uncle, and cousin. I had my friends, my staff, business, and of course, my beloved husband. My father was no longer mayor; he retired after the last election. My mother still owned her animal hospital, and my dad helped out from time to time there. Garrett was now working in an auto shop. My aunt and uncle still had their pizza place, and Seth was working for his boss directly, taking a trip every few months for business. All my friends worked their jobs, except Zack and Ashley right now as it was summer break for the school. Ashley was an elementary school teacher, and Zach worked as a special needs teacher for younger children in the same school Ashley was employed by. Ford was working in a psychology office, and Heather was a nurse. Roslyn and Travis both worked their jobs, though, I believe Travis and Garrett worked together now.
Roslyn and Eli were dating, they had gone on five or so dates after I introduced them to one another on Christmas Eve. I believe they got together in March 2017. Seth and Calista were friends, but liked one another and went on dates still; there was nothing official between them, but I could see something starting soon. My husband continued going to Dr. O'Conner; Trayden admitted that it helped a lot, and he was healing finally. Tray was taking the anti-depressants but had been recently considering to be off of them since he felt better. I didn't mind as long as there wouldn't be drastic changes if he were removed from the pills. Trayden and I also discussed him stopping therapy at the year mark of him having started going, but perhaps we'd stop him earlier than that. Trayden said he felt better than he had in years, and had put the past behind him.
Another significant event in my life, preferably mine and Trayden's is that today is our three-year wedding anniversary. I had such a fun day planned for us, and then our night would be just as entertaining since we'll end up making love. Currently, the time was 7:10 am, and my husband was still fast asleep beside me in the bed. Trayden loved to sleep in, especially after a long night of work. I smiled as I kissed his cheek, then Trayden snuggled up close against me. I locked my arm around his midsection.
"Good morning, beloved," I whispered in his ear.
"Mm, morning," Trayden replied as he turned in my arms, so he was facing me. I moved some of his black hair out of his face, then kissed him gently.
"How did you sleep?" I asked gently.
"Always good with you beside me. How about you?" Trayden inquired.
"I slept fine. Should we get up and begin our day?" I offered.
"But I'm so comfortable. Do we have to move right away?" Trayden groaned.
"I assumed you might want breakfast, but if you prefer we spend all day locked in bed, then I can show you what other uses us being alone has," I tempted. Trayden blushed trying to hide his face in my chest while I let my hand slip down his front and into his pajama pants to run my hand over his length. Trayden moaned a bit.
"Ah, Harv," Trayden breathed out as I started stroking him a little.
"Do you want me to wake you up, Love?" I asked as I felt Trayden's cock begin to harden. Trayden bit his bottom lip, not sure how to answer it. I kissed him lightly on the lips, looking into his green eyes before he nodded for me to go ahead.
~Lemon Start; Harvey & Trayden~
As soon as Trayden gave me the go-ahead look, I withdrew my hand from inside his boxers and turned him, so he was on his back and under my body. I kissed Trayden deeply, sliding my tongue along his as I slipped my hands under his shirt and pushed it upward and out of my way. My kisses trailed to Tray's neck, and then down his chest and stomach. I hooked my fingers around the waistband of his sleep pants, then pulled them down along with his boxers until they were off Trayden's figure.
"Harvey," Trayden panted. I smiled as I continued to kiss down farther until I reached his erect cock. I carefully took it into my hand, then licked around the head before lowering my mouth over the appendage, beginning to bob my head up and down on it. "Ah!" he moaned as I saw Tray grip the bed sheets. While sucking and licking Trayden's length, I also began to stroke him up and down, following the rhythm of my head movements. I pulled my mouth off and looked up at my husband while stroking him still.
"Do you want more?" I asked him.
"Weren't we…going to save that for later tonight?" Trayden questioned.
"It's our day, Tray; we can do whatever we want. I already warned people to leave us be," I reminded. I stopped stroking my husband and moved to kiss him again. "Tell me what you want, Love," I asked as his eyes met mine.
"Make love to me," Trayden said. I smiled and kissed him deeply as I sat us both up to remove my pants and boxers; I hadn't been wearing a shirt initially, and Trayden's was out of the way. I captured his lips with mine as I laid him back down on the bed. I opened the drawer to the nightstand and pulled out the bottle of lube, then I poured a decent amount into my hand before wiping it around Trayden's read, and then used the rest on myself. While kissing Trayden, I used my arms to lift his legs up and then place the head of my length at his ass; I pushed myself in as Trayden moaned out.
I began moving my hips back and forth, bringing my cock in and out of Trayden's rear while he moaned. Of course, I did too. I swore to the Gods that there was nothing better than getting to have sex in the morning. "We go one round, then get ready for our date today?" I asked him. Trayden nodded to me as I smiled and continued to thrust into my husband, and we both enjoyed the feeling it gave us. After twenty minutes, I sat back on my knees while thrusting still, and then reaching a hand down to stroke Trayden's length, adding to the pleasure. The best part about Trayden and I making love is that we could go for hours if we wanted just by changing positions. However, my goal at the moment was to wake my husband up with a good time, then we were going to enjoy our anniversary. After all that, we'd get home, and I would show him I love him all night.
Ten more minutes passed as I felt Trayden's length starting to twitch in my hand; my indicator he was about to cum. "Harvey, I'm gonna cum," I smiled when he said it as I started to move faster bringing myself to release more quickly.
"Me too, cum with me with, baby," I told him. A second later, I came hard within my husband as he orgasmed as well. I stopped thrusting and then took my hand off his cock before kissing him deeply. "I love you," I panted a little.
"I…love you…too," Trayden tried to catch his breath. I pulled out of him, and then we laid there to ride out the pleasured feeling we had.
~Lemon End; Trayden & Harvey~
Once we had calmed down, I grabbed my boxers from the floor, and his. "Go on and shower, I'll start breakfast," I told him as I cleaned off with an old towel from the basket, then slipped on my underwear and pajama pants. Trayden nodded as we shared a kiss, and then he slid his boxers on before leaving the room and entering the bathroom to shower. I reached the kitchen and pulled out the eggs, bacon, and bread to get started on our morning meal.
=Normal POV=
Harvey and Trayden enjoyed the breakfast, then Tray cleaned up while Harvey showered. After that, the two headed out and left the apartment to start their day together. Harvey got them tickets to Six Flags in Massachusetts, but they had to take the ferry to Rhode Island first, then jump the train to get to the theme park. Harvey and Trayden planned to be gone all day, and into the evening for when they got back for a movie, then dinner together. Andrew was in charge of The Edge in their absence but knew to call Harvey if there was a problem.
[Six Flags New England-Agawam, Mass]
Harvey and Trayden stood at the gate, waiting for it to open up at 10 am. The two lovers planned to spend two hours riding roller coasters, and then swing over to Hurrican Harbor; better known as the water park.
"Happy Anniversary, Love," Harvey smiled to him as they linked hands when the guard moved the rope out of the way.
"Happy Anniversary, Harvey," Trayden replied as they hurried through together to catch the rides before the wait times got outrageously long. The lovers hit every roller coaster they could while making their way to the water park, which opened at 11 am. By the time Harvey and Trayden reached Hurrican Harbor, it was already 12:20 pm and they decided to get lunch before hitting any water rides. The meal was two burgers, platter of fries to share, and then a beer each, Harvey and Trayden found a shady spot, then sat down to enjoy their food.
After eating, and waiting twenty minutes; they were right back in it with getting on rides and having a good time. Harvey and Trayden had a lot of fun, and they stayed until 3 pm, then left to make their train back to Rhode Island which went at 3:45 pm. Once they arrived in Providence almost three hours later at 6:55 pm, they took a cab to the ferry departure point. An hour and twenty minutes later, they were back on Archia Isle, and more than ready to have dinner together.
[Archia Isle-8:15 pm]
"Today was…I don't have the words for it, Harvey. Thank you," Trayden said as they got off the ferry, then took Harvey's car to the place where they would eat dinner.
"You're welcome," Harvey smiled. After a ten minute drive, they stopped at a small place to eat since they were too hungry to wait until they got home and too tired to cook even if they had made it back.
[9:30 pm]
Both of them were tired when they got home, but there was still more to do that they couldn't pass up. Harvey and Trayden showered together after locking up the apartment, and then they moved to the bedroom to have sex. The entirety of that lasted two hours, bringing them to 12:10 am by the time they finished, kissed, and finally went to bed. It had been another perfect anniversary for them, now they were ready to sleep, and wake up tomorrow for another day.
[6/22/17-4:50 am]
Lurking in the darkness of The Edge was none other than Drake Nyght. The man scoffed as he moved up the stairs to the patio entrance of Trayden and Harvey's apartment, and picked the lock to get himself inside. Drake made his way through the home until he reached the kitchen and started pouring gasoline on the floor from the stove. Drake moved silently as he got gas on everything he could, including the stairs leading down into the bar, then he ripped the gas line from under the oven as it hissed releasing the fumes into the air. Drake smirked as he backed out of the sliding glass door, but not before he lit a single match and tossed it inside the gasoline-drenched apartment. Drake closed the door and put a board on the track to keep it from opening when the boys inevitably tried to get out to escape the inferno.
Once outside, Drake put a cloth inside of a half-filled bottle of alcohol, and then he lit the tip before hurling it through the bit picture window, and then he did it again two more times. With The Edge slowly burning, Drake looked up to see the orange glow from the windows of the apartment. Drake rushed off, proud of his work. Upstairs, when the flames hit the leaking gas, there was an explosion, and the Haddock lovers were awake instantly.
"What the hell was that!" Trayden asked quickly.
"I don't know. Get dressed, and stay in here for now," Harvey said while pulling on his boxers and sweatpants, then a tank top. Trayden nodded as he quickly put his clothes on while Harvey moved to the door to open it, but burned his hand on the handle. "Ow! Fuck!" he cursed holding his hand.
"Are you alright!" Trayden inquired with worry. Harvey looked at his hand, easily a second-degree burn. Why would the handle be hot?
"I'm…fine, babe," Harvey told him. "Just stay back," Harvey now put his hand on the wood, feeling that to be warm as well. The only way a door would be hot was if there was a fire on the other side. Harvey caught the scent of gas as his eyes widened. Harvey moved back a bit, and then kicked the door open. Instantly, there were flames.
"The apartment is on fire!" Trayden panicked with fear.
"It's okay, calm down. We'll be fine, let's get out of here," Harvey told him. Trayden nodded as Harvey grabbed his cell phone, wallet, keys, and flash drive off the nightstand, then he looked around to see Snooze, their calico kitten that Harvey and Trayden adopted on their twenty-fifth birthday, hiding as far from the fire as he could. Trayden got Snooze, then returned to Harvey's side. The two made their way to the main entry door, as Harvey checked it for heat. "This door is hot too," he said to himself as he grabbed a magazine off the table, then opened the door to see flames engulfing the central stairwell that lead into the club. Harvey quickly shut the door; okay, this was bad. Harvey grabbed Trayden's hand as they moved to the sliding glass door, coughing a few times from the smoke. Harvey tried to open it but found that he couldn't. Upon further inspection; he saw the wooden board on the track. 'Someone set this place on fire, and I bet my life that I know who is responsible,' Harvey thought.
"Harv," Trayden coughed. "Break the glass," he said.
"We can't. As soon as air hits these flames, it'll cause a backdraft. We'll be okay, I hear sirens coming. Let's get back into the bedroom; the fire hasn't hit there yet," Trayden nodded to his husband as they returned to the bedroom, hoping that rescuers came soon.
[Elsewhere]
Ashley's cell phone ringing woke her from her sleep; she checked the time on her alarm clock. 5:40 AM. Ashley got her phone and answered it.
"Hello?" she said tiredly.
"Ashley!" Seth's voice shouted.
"Who is it, babe?" Zack wondered now.
"It's Seth. What's going on," Ashley asked now as she sat up in bed.
"The Edge is on fire! It's all over the news! We're all going there to make sure Harvey and Tray are alright," Seth informed quickly.
"Why wouldn't they be alright?!" Ashley demanded.
"Because the news reporter said that firefighters responded to a call from the motel across the street who reported seeing someone starting the fire in The Edge. And then there was an explosion on the second floor…" Seth said quietly.
"We'll meet you there," Ashley said quickly before hanging up.
[The Edge]
Sullivan, Victoria, Garrett, Jamie, Seth, Samuel, and all the friends were standing across the street behind the police barricade as The Edge was up in flames that the firefighters stood firm in trying to douse. However, the scariest thing about this was that Harvey and Trayden were nowhere to be found, as the assumption was that they were trapped upstairs. Andrew and the staff had arrived not more than ten minutes ago.
"Why aren't you sending anyone up there to find my son and son-in-law!" Sullivan bellowed.
"We can't until we get the fire out. Someone was already sent upstairs to check, and if we open the sliding door, it will cause a backdraft. The safest route is to enter from the lower level," the fire chief informed. The family and friends stood there, feeling helpless at the situation. Inside, the fire was getting worse as Trayden was terrified.
'I have to get him out of here,' Harvey thought before standing up. "Come on, we can't wait on a team anymore," he said as Trayden got up and Harvey led him near the kitchen, coughing as he grabbed the broom handle and pushed the attic entrance open. "I'm gonna lift you up. I want you to go to the window and climb down the fire escape," Trayden nodded as he put Snooze on his shoulder. Harvey picked Trayden up as he got through the entry, and pulled himself up.
"What about you!?" Trayden asked looking down to see that Harvey couldn't reach.
"Don't worry about me; go! I'll find another way out. I promise!" Harvey called to him. Trayden nodded and disappeared from sight. Harvey looked around needing another exit. In the attic, Trayden reached the window as he opened it and looked down.
"Look! It's Tray!" Ford yelled. Instantly, they looked up to see Trayden climbing down the ladder slow. Trayden reached the bottom and let go while coughing. A firefighter went over to put a blanket around his shoulders, as a paramedic helped bring Trayden to the back of the ambulance to give him oxygen.
"Trayden! Where's Harvey?" Victora cried.
"Still…trapped inside," Trayden managed.
"How did you get out?" Zack asked.
"Harvey opened the attic entrance, then lifted me up so I could get out, but it was too high for him to reach. Harvey…promised he would find another way out," Trayden looked at the building in flames with worry. Trayden knew how this happened, Harvey told him when they were waiting. This was an attempt at murder, and there was only one person Harvey knew wanted revenge; Drake Nyght. Trayden was pissed because it made perfect sense. Inside, Harvey needed to get out because he couldn't take the smoke anymore. Harvey grabbed the fire extinguisher from the laundry room as he took a breath. Harvey kicked down the stairway door, then he activated the extinguisher and made his way down the stairs as quickly as he could, and then found himself dealing with a wholly engulfed bar. Harvey could see the outside past the flames, of course, he would have to get through them to get outside.
"There's someone in there!" Calista shouted pointing to the inside of the bar.
"It's Harvey!" Andrew said. "And he's trapped in there! Get him out!" he ordered the firefighters. However, before anyone could do anything; there was another explosion which forced everyone to turn away to avoid debris. All eyes focused on the blaze inside the bar where Harvey had been.
"Harvey…" Trayden whispered in fear. Suddenly, something came crashing through the window and rolled to the ground. "Harvey!" he cried. Harvey coughed hard, trying to catch his breath, though it sounded like he was choking. Harvey moved onto his side while trying to get up, still coughing.
"Get him out of there!" Heather scolded the paramedics. Trayden shoved the blanket off and rushed to his husband. Two EMT's reached Harvey with an oxygen mask, but Harvey's arms gave out as he hit the ground.
"Harvey," Trayden said seeing his husband passed out. "Harvey?" he said more concerned when Harvey didn't respond.
"It's alright, son. I believe he might have passed out from smoke inhalation; we'll take him to the hospital, and you too. The firefighters will handle things from here, but you both need treatment," said one paramedic. Trayden nodded.
"Andrew, get me an update as soon as you can. I'm going to the hospital with Harvey," Trayden called.
"You got it, Tray. Let us know how Harvey is doing!" Andrew replied.
"Will do!" Trayden yelled back as Harvey was placed in the ambulance and Trayden climbed in after him.
"We'll meet you there!" Sullivan said as he was leading the group of friends and his family away. Trayden nodded before the doors were shut and the ambulance left the area, headed straight for the hospital. On the way there, Trayden used his phones to check The Edge outside cameras, and sure enough, he saw his father there and starting the fires. This meant Drake was also responsible for the fire in the apartment too; the one that trapped them and they could have been killed. Trayden would not let his dad get away with this. Trying to kill him and Harvey was where Tray drew the line. Drake Nyght had gone too far.
