The Help of Love

Nathan shot up from deep sleep and sat up in the trucks bed. Once his eyes focused in the darkness of the night he looked around and remembered they were at the beach. He rubbed his eyes of the last bits of sleep and felt some sweat dropping down his chest. His heart began slowing down from it race car beating which eased his nerves. In a minute he got up off of his makeshift bed in the trucks bed and got out without waking his friend. His feet landed softly on the sand and made a little noise as the truck waddled.

Aelita, who was sleeping nicely, awoke when the truck swayed slightly. She stretched out on the front right seat and removed her towel that acted as her blanket.

Nathan looked around and then to the shoreline. The smell and the sound of the little waves hitting the beach embraced him like a mother's hug would feel like. Yet, instead of helping him from his nightmare of reality he started crying. He held in or repressed a lot of old memories and problems from his past and now they were leaking out. He knew his friends would hear him sob and scream so he looked around for the best place to hid to do so. The beach water wasn't a safe haven for him at night, the beach was…well the beach too open, and then the dunes came into view. Yes perfect, so Nathan ran to them in the night and through the vehicle road to the vegetation covered dunes.

Aelita was ready to fall asleep when in the corner of her eye she saw one of the boys running to the dunes the truck faced. She questioned herself as to why would one of them be escaping to the sand hills? It all didn't feel right so she got out of the truck as covertly as possible and closed it. Then she darted off into the direction of the boy.

Dunes

His feet were bare and so he could feel every twig and leaf he stepped on. Clumps of sand collected on his feet navigating around the barren trails to the highest dune. The feeling was like walking in a dead forest to anyone.

Inside him he was building up everything the nightmare uncovered, to release later on. Hopefully with the mild wind at the peak would help cancel out his voice, that was his only goal and then he'd go back to sleep. Those monsters still roared in his face, the very image he still remembered them with open ravenous mouths.

In a few minutes he finally reached the top of his organic hill and the caress of the coastal winds hugged him. He fell on his rear and let the sand fall under him a foot or less. Thinking of all that troubled his mind, at the peak of it all he screamed out what others would hear as a battle cry or the last one of a dying warrior charging into battle. Now with his throat irritated and soar he fell onto the sand in a fetal position sobbing as he punched the sand.

Aelita made it half way to the tallest dune when she heard Nathan scream out. Which made her trip and stubble to a fall of surprise. When she regained herself she made a straight line to the source hoping the teen wasn't hurt or in some sort of trouble. Instead of taking the around way she darted right up the dune and at the top her eyes saw the boy in agony.

"Nathan! Nathan are you alright!" she panicked sliding down to him.

"I could of made a difference, I could have saved her…." He cried out angrily.

"What….are you hurt talk to me!" she tried to sit him up and check for any wounds but soon found none.

"She's gone and suffering somewhere and I can't do anything about it!" he suddenly rose up and kicked at the dune top furiously.

She could sense his pain at something, his heart and soul afflicted by a guilt. His tears accumulated sand and it looked like he cried a desert. Nothing seemed to come to mind that would quell this anger and sorrow medically. So she waited for him to get it out of his system and then she interrogated him.

He sat down staring blankly at the open plains and new houses under construction about two miles away.

"Can you tell me what is ailing you?" she asked kindly.

"She was torn from my hands…"

"Who, who was taken from you?" she felt confidence coming to her method.

"My litter sister…disappeared in that black car and the cops never found her again…."

"Your sister? Can you tell me all of what happened." She came closer to him and now sat right by him.

Aelita caressed his face with her hand and she noticed it immediately brought him back into reality. He turned to her as if in shock with is eyes wide open.

"My sister my little sister. We were walking from school, it was a great day I remember. She had just gotten an approval to be transferred to the school for gifted children. Her and I were walking home to our old home back then, when a black car with silver chrome bumpers started tailing us. We ran after that, but all of the sudden I was struck in the face with something as we passed by some alley ways. When I awoke too, the last thing I saw was a group of men struggling to get my sister into their car. She was a fighter though…she did leave a few gashes on two of the men's faces. I believe she knew by then that her life was over so she wanted to leave me a trail if that ever comes my way. I tried to get up and do something to help her but one of the men had a stick with blunt tips around it and struck me on the left shoulder blade. They sped off before either I or anyone nearby could get help or be of help. That car so pitch black……."

"Did you ever find her?" Aelita listened intently.

"The police helped me recover since my shoulder blade was fractured all around and cracked from the force of the weapon. I told them everything and the nearby cameras of a market store just down the street caught the whole thing in action. Which for me was a lifetime…. After a year of investigation and no leads, they just about given up on. But an unknown source sent me key evidence that showed what happened to my little sister. Those men were dealers in a smuggling ring around the international world. Catching children and selling them to pedophiles as slaves for sick things. I'll never forget what the police told me later on when I grew up, what they'd possible do to her, my family was the first to hear though about everything. My mother told me my sister would probably die in several years from the horrors she'd meet. I was only six and she five and a half. My family fights against one another over the stupidest things but I guess that's just the pain and guilt of losing her. Leaving me to bear more weight of the incident. Those men were never caught…."

Aelita had no words with which to respond to, she and the others didn't really know the source of all the torment he and his family went through. But now she knew, which would explain his need to protect people. It must have been his way of trying to cover up what he failed to do for a family member.

"She was as close to me as a mother's bond, I guess I was like a father to her. The way she looked up to me and….and….I failed to protect her like a father would. I…I only hope to god that she didn't live more then a month in that hell she was taken into." Nathan said as he choked on tears and a lump in his throat.

The pink haired girl didn't know such horrible things could happen in pure daylight in a neighborhood. She felt herself cry from his pain like an onion being peeled. He curled up sitting, Aelita wanted so much to make him feel better with love which was so tragically torn from him.

She ended up kissing him into submission, replacing agony with love. The two made out for a few minutes on the sand just lost in their own world of passion. He mostly held her head and shoulders gently as they kissed, while she tightly hugged around his chest. In the heat of the moment, Nathan removed her mini skirt started groping her chest through the top piece of her swim suit. Which caused Aelita to break the kiss and let him tend to her neck as she moaned. His hands rode along from her breasts to her hips and back up again, sending shivers down her spin even in this humid summer night. Aelita let her hands roam his muscular back, modeled just right which appeased her hidden lust for him.

The boy, out of nowhere, pushed the love even more by having his hands go under her top piece. He fondled her and soon removed the clothing off of her person. She breathed in heavily and arched slightly as his tongue licked her breasts. The act went on for some time till he began to move his attention to her special place. Aelita removed his pants and boxers as he her last clothing.

"Aelita I…" Nathan tried to say something in the passion of it all.

"Yes, please I want you. I had no idea how much pain you were in and I want to heal you." She responded holding his face to look at her.

"This is your first?" he tried to not remember that torment.

"Yes." She told him.

"I'll go soft and slow." He said to her catching her lips in another deep kiss.

As soon as his lower garments were at his knees and hers as well. He gently went into her sex, the first effect was her biting down on her thumb and groaning out the uncomfortable feeling. He nudged her with his nose to signal he would go in farther, she responded by biting softly on his lower lip and laid back down waiting.

The black haired boy did so, his first thrust hit her virgin barrier and his second broke it. In the process she yelped at the pain but moaned louder in pleasure as the pain subsided into an enjoyable sensation. As he moved in and out of her, she moved her legs around his waist to secure a better position on the shifting sand and plants they laid upon. When she started to moisten, he breathed out it is his first time too. With his arms keeping him hunched over her, her arms around his neck, they two started going at it more vigorously and deeper then before. Aelita could feel something build up in her like a growing fire that was being fed by the love making. Nathan could feel something as well so he slowed down in order for his beauty to enjoy more of what he was experiencing. Which left his hands free to massage her bare breasts, doubling the sensation for her.

Her walls tightened and lubricated much more then earlier ago. She was almost up, the excitement, the thrill, and the passion brought her up to climax. She yelled out the unimaginable feeling which no words could express. Her voice drowned out by the wind and waves of the coast. Nathan got even more out of it and finished shortly after.

Some people would say that true love heals almost anything. For Nathan it did, his past once again buried.

He lay on top of her spent as did she laying on the ground exhausted. They spent five or more minutes just recovering some energy listening to nature sing her songs. The stars in the night sky were truly a magnificent ending.

The two parted and dressed, then as they were leaving a small fleet of seagulls were sitting around their exit path.

"I guess we had an audience huh?" Nathan joked as his normal self.

Aelita just giggled holding his hand as they walked back to the truck. They, age of fifteen and sixteen, recanted on the amazing action just moments again. Every single detail flashed in their minds, which overrode the pain that sparked it. Nathan thought of Aelita differently now, Aelita then same, they stepped over a line that there was no going back to. Things have been set into motion which might cause some unwanted complication in their school career.
