True Love

Chapter 3: The Secret

Cameron stared at his backyard. There was a huge pool right smack in the middle of it. WOW.

"Knock knock," Frank interrupted Cameron's thoughts.

"Huh," Cameron said.

"I have to go take care of something," said Frank, "I'll be back in time for dinner… I'll bring Chinese food."

"Ok," was all that Cameron said.

Once Cameron was sure Frank was gone, he picked up his cell phone, and dialed Bradin's number. Ring… Ring… Ring… No one picked up. Cameron set the phone down on his bed and set out to explore the house. The rest of the house was pretty much completely white as well. Cameron came upon the last room there was to explore. He opened the door and walked in. To his surprise it turned out to be a library room. Cameron had always loved reading books, well, at least the interesting ones. And now he had this mini library to his disposal, well hopefully. He skimmed through the titles of the books and then headed towards the window. This window was facing the street and the opposite house on the opposite block. This one particular house, the one right across from his house, called his attention. Cameron stared at it for a while. Right when he was about to turn away, he noticed a teenage boy sit, with his back towards Cameron, on the top right hand window. The boy, though his face wasn't visible, looked so familiar. Just then this guy came into the teenagers room, walked towards him, and smacked him in the face. Cameron flinched and looked away. When he turned back to look at the window, the shades were down.

Ring… Ring… Cameron entered his room as his cell phone began to ring. Seeing as that it was Bradin, he picked up, "Hey you."

"Hey you yourself," replied Bradin, "So, you called?"

"Yeah, I was alone here at my house and I figured you might want to come over and…explore"

"Ah, that sounds tempting, but I'm giving a lesson right now and I promised aunt Ava that after my lesson I would help her prepare this dinner thing she's hosting for some fashion people back at the house."

"That sucks."

"Yeah, it does," agreed Bradin, "Well, how about tomorrow, I can drop by then."

"That sounds great," replied Cameron, "I'll message you the address later."

"Ok, I have to go now," said Bradin, "Bye Cam…I love you."

"Love you too," said Cameron and then hung up.

-NEXT MORNING-

Kurt's car came to a halt in front of the school, "So…see you at home," he said.

"Sure," responded Cameron as he exited the car. Seeing as there were still five minutes till the bell rang, Cameron looked for a familiar face. He spotted Mike leaning against a tree.

"Hey, what's up," he said as he reached Mike.

Being interrupted from his thinking, it took him a while to answer, "Umm…oh, the sky," Mike finally said.

"Ah, how original," joked Cameron, "So what happened yesterday?"

"Yesterday?"

"Yeah…you were absent."

"Oh…yeah, that…its just that…" As Mike searched for a lie, flashbacks from the previous day ran through his mind.

-MIKE'S FLASHBACK-

Mike had just finished getting ready for school when his stepfather, Dan, entered his room. "It turns out your mother had the morning shift today," he said.

"So," Mike responded.

"So since I'm off today, it means you get to stay home instead of going to school," said Dan with a grin on his face.

Realizing what he meant, Mike ran for the bathroom. Inches away from reaching it, Dan grabbed him by the arm and flung him onto the bed.

"What have I told you about fighting it," Dan said as he climbed the bed and positioned himself on top of Mike.

The teenager tried pushing the man off of him, but with no success. As he desperately looked for a way of escaping, his hand came upon a book. Mike grabbed it and smacked Dan's head with it, in the process making him tumble off of him. The teenager ran for the door, but wasn't fast enough. Dan tackled him into the door, with Mike's shoulder firmly pressed against the doorknob.

"Now, now, remember what can happen to your mother if you don't submit yourself to me," Dan said as he dragged Mike back to the bed.

Remembering all the threats, Mike just laid there as Dan began undressing him and himself.

-END OF FLASHBACK-

"What," questioned Cameron.

"Uh…it's just that my stomach…was…hurting really bad…yeah that's it," Mike replied as he turned away. Not buying it, Cameron grabbed him by the arm, "Are you s…"

"Ah," Mike backed away.

"Did I hurt you," asked Cameron.

"No…YOU didn't."

"So why did you back away in pain?"

"Its nothing, forget it."

"Let me see your arm."

"What? No."

"Let me see it," Cameron grabbed Mike's forearm and raised his sleeve so that the arm was revealed. On Mike's arm laid a purple bruise, four inches in diameter. "What happened? Who did this to you," Cameron interrogated the nervous looking teenager.

"Umm…I got hit with a ball the other day…a soccer ball," replied Mike.

"A soccer ball?"

"Yeah I swear."

"Are…" Cameron was interrupted by the ringing of the bell, "Damn it…see you during lunch?"

"Yeah," said Mike.

-LATER AT LUNCH-

Cameron spotted Mike sitting at a lunch table all by himself, apparently doodling something on a notebook. "Hey Mike," said Cameron as he sat down next to him, noticing it was a sketch pad not a notebook.

"Oh hey Cameron," Mike said as he closed the sketchpad and stuffed it in his backpack.

"We didn't get to finish our conversation in the morning," Cameron pointed out.

"What conversation," Mike pretended not to remember.

"The one about…" Cameron began, but was interrupted as a water balloon hit their table, splashing water on Mike's face.

"Stupid freshmen," Cameron yelled at the students who were busy throwing water balloons at each other.

Mike was wiping his face with his shirt as Cameron turned back towards him. Cameron's eyes accidentally slipped and noticed Mike's golden toned stomach, just slightly revealed. The teenager quickly fixed his gaze on a tree in front of him and tried to ignore the boy next to him.

"So, what conversation were you talking about," Mike questioned, still acting clueless.

"The one about your… whoa," Cameron saw Mike's face, "Where did that come from?"

"What?"

"Those two bruises, you didn't have them a minute ago."

"Well, you know how Cody had Ben punch me the other day," Mike said, "My mom suggested covering it with that makeup powder of hers…you know, so it wouldn't look so bad."

"That explains the bruise on your cheek, but what about the one underneath your eye?"

"Oh, that one…uh…I…got hit with a ball there too."

"Was it with a soccer ball too," Cameron asked in disbelief.

"No, this one was done with a football," Mike said, "I was playing some football with my stepfather yesterday."

"I thought you weren't feeling too good yesterday?"

"I wasn't at first, but you know, it went away."

"No I don't know."

"Well, it did happen like that," assured Mike, "And now if you excuse me, I have to go talk to one of my teacher's about getting the work I missed yesterday."

As Cameron saw Mike walk away, he couldn't help, but think that he was hiding something from him.

The rest of the school day was boring. Teachers talking and talking about who knows what, while the students pretended they were paying attention, but in reality they were too busy text messaging. During sixth period, Cameron and Mike didn't get a chance to talk because the teacher was too busy trying to get everyone to fall in love with the art of drama. On the bus ride, they didn't get to sit together because Chase sat with Cameron. Upon reaching the bus stop where Cameron got off, he was surprised to see Mike get off as well.

"So, you live around here," questioned Cameron.

"Yeah," answered Mike, "I live down on Jones Ave."

"What a coincidence," said Cameron, "So do I."

"Cool," Mike said as both teenagers walked down towards Jones Ave. Then, upon reaching it, they turned and walked down Jones Ave.

"So, it seems as though Mrs. Winston has pooped her lid," Cameron commented, trying to break the silence.

"I guess she's just madly in love with her teaching," Mike said.

"Well, this is where I stop," Cameron said pointing to his house.

"Hmm…what and even bigger coincidence," spoke Mike, "I live there, across the street."

Cameron looked to where the other teenager was pointing. It's the same house where I saw that kid get smacked in the face. Could that have been Mike? That would explain the other bruise he has underneath his eye.

"So…see you tomorrow at the bus stop," Mike interrupted Cameron's thoughts.

"Huh…oh, yeah…of course," Cameron replied, "Lates." Both teenagers headed to their houses.

Cameron set his backpack down on his bed and went looking for Frank. Upon realizing that his father wasn't there, Cameron headed to the library room. When he was about to enter the room, the doorbell rang.

"Oh, hey Bradin," Cameron said after he opened the door.

"Hey sexy," Bradin said as he gave Cameron a peck on the lips, "Wow, its…a big house," the older teenager said once he was inside.

"Yup, it is," agreed Cameron, "Come." The younger teenager grabbed Bradin's hand and led him upstairs.

"This is my room," Cameron said as they entered it and then gently pushed Bradin onto his bed. He climbed on top of Bradin and began biting his neck.

"Whoa, what's the occasion," said Bradin as he began getting hard.

"No occasion," Cameron replied through his teeth, too busy to open his mouth, "I just wanted to pleasure my boyfriend."

"Oh," said Bradin as he remembered that he had said that to Cameron the first time he gave Cam a blowjob.

Cameron unbuttoned Bradin's tight jeans and slowly pulled them down a bit, "Ooo…how juicy," he said upon setting his eyes on Bradin's manhood.

Cameron licked the tip just to tease Bradin. Then he took it in whole. Slowly, he began going up and down. He pulled away for a second and lifted Bradin's shirt up a bit and licked the area around the belly button. Biting skin along the way, Cameron directed his attention back to the erect body part in front of him. He wrapped his mouth around it and sucked. Then he began going up and down again, but with a quicker pace then before.

"Oh…yeah…faster…" Bradin managed to say through moans.

Ring…Bradin's cell phone began to ring. Ring…

"Aren't you going to answer that," asked Cameron as he freed his mouth. Ring…

"Nah, just keep going," replied Bradin. Ring…

Cameron was about to take Bradin's manhood in again, but was distracted by the ringing. Ring…

"I cant focus with it ringing," said Cameron, "Just answer it."

Bradin picked up the phone and answered. While he was talking to someone, apparently to Derek, Cameron gently stroked Bradin's dick.

"Well, can't I just help you later," Bradin spoke into the phone, "Ah, ok then, I'll be there in ten minutes."

Bradin hung up the phone, "See, I told you I shouldn't have answered, now I have to go help Derek with this project of his," he said as he buttoned and zipped up his pants.

"Crap," said Cameron as he walked Bradin to the door and then to his car.

"We'll continue this later," Cameron said as Bradin entered the car.

"Ok then," Bradin agreed and then drove away.

-LATER AT MIDNIGHT-

Dinner with Frank had been lame. The entire ten to fifteen minutes that it lasted had been absolutely lame and quiet. Now, Frank was fast asleep. Since Cameron couldn't fall asleep, he went down to the kitchen to drink a glass of milk. During the trip back to his room, he paused at the top of the stairs and looked at the door leading into the library room. Cameron decided to just go check things out. He entered the room and headed towards the window. Cameron looked across the street at the opposite house. He looked at the window where he had seen the boy the day before. Cameron saw nothing so he headed back to his room.

Little did Cameron know, something was going on in that room. Mike was laying naked in his bed. A single tear ran down Mike's cheek as Dan harshly pounded into him.
