Randy and John got to the house and settled in. Randy walked into the house and noticed that nothing had changed. It looked the same as when he had spent his summers there as a kid with John and his parents. He also noticed that it had been cleaned and all his stuff was moved in. He looked at John and John just smiled saying, "Mark and I cleaned it while Glen kept you company at the hospital." "You and Mark seem to get along. Is there something going on?" he asked smirking. John laughed nervously, "I just met the man. He seems nice." "And he's your type," Randy said. "Well, Glen's your type," John said blushing. Some family members and friends had always thought that John and Randy would get together, but that was not so. They liked the same type of men; they both liked bigger somewhat ruggedly handsome men. That's why John never understood why Randy had been with Dave and he voiced that opinion now, "I never understood why you were with D…,"John was saying. Randy interrupted him saying sadly, "Please John, don't mention his name right now. I'm going to go take a nap." John sighed, "Okay Randy, I'll wake you up in a little bit." Randy went upstairs to where he knew his room was and lay on the bed falling fast asleep.
Randy woke up himself a few hours later, he felt dirty. He wanted to take a shower but needed help to wrap his broken arm so he wouldn't get the cast wet. So, he walked downstairs and found John in the kitchen getting dinner ready. "Hi John," Randy greeted. "Oh hi Ran," John said, "I was just going to stick dinner in the oven and then go and wake you up." "I was going to take a bath could you help me plastic wrap my cast so that it doesn't get wet?" Randy asked. "Sure can," John said and helped Randy wrap his cast. "You better get up there to take your bath. Mark and Glen will be here in about an hour," John said teasing Randy. "All right, I'm going," Randy said. He walked to his room to get jeans, a t-shirt and a hoody, He went to the bathroom started the water for his bath and gingerly got undressed. This was the first time he had seen his naked body since the attack. He looked down at his too skinny body, broken arm and the bruises littering all over his body. The bruises were starting to heal a little but they had turned to an ugly puke green color. Looking at his body made him sick. He slowly got into the tub and welcomed the warm water as it soothed his body. Soon he was done washing up and got out to get dressed. He put his clothes on and noticed how baggy everything was on him. He figured he either had to by all new clothes or start working out to get his body back. He thought that he would probably work out because it was cheaper, besides John had a gym in the basement of the house. He finished getting dressed and went downstairs.
When Randy reached the bottom of the steps he heard voices coming from the tv room. He walked in and saw that Mark and Glen had already arrived and were drinking a beer and watching tv with John. "Hey, Randy. Do you want one?" John asked. "Yeah, I'll have one," Randy answered and sat next to Glen on the couch because John and Mark were sitting on the love seat. John came back and handed Randy his beer. As Randy drank the beer he watched John go sit next to Mark and kind of snuggle into the crook of Mark's shoulder as Mark wrapped his arm around John. Randy smiled as he watched the scene and Glen who was watching Randy said, "They look happy, don't they." "Yeah, they do look happy," Randy said with a sad smile, "he deserves to be happy." Randy looked sadly down at his hands in his lap and was surprised when he saw one of Glen's hands gently grab his. Glen was surprised that Randy didn't yank his hand away but looked at Glen surprised, "You deserve happiness too, Randy," Glen said. In that moment John announced that dinner should be ready and they went into the dining room.
After dinner, they decided to watch a movie. They all took the same places as before. Randy was watching the movie when he looked over and saw John and Mark kissing. A slow sad smile appeared on his face when he felt a hand take his "Randy you deserve happiness too," Glen said looking into Randy's eyes and watching tears start to form. Randy turned his sad smile to Glen and asked, "I do? Are you sure Glen?" "Yes Randy you do. I was serious when I said that. I believe you will find happiness soon," Glen said. That was it, the next second Randy broke down and tears started falling. Glen gently wrapped his arms around him and consoled him. John looked up from kissing Mark and started to say "Ran, what's…," but Glen just shook his head at him over Randy's shoulder. John nodded his head in understanding and leaned into Mark as Glen's hands gently rubbed Randy's back. Randy stayed in Glen's arms until it was time for them to leave, in which Randy raised his head and said, "I'm sorry for crying all over you." Glen gave a gentle chuckle and said, "Don't be. I'm not." Randy blushed at that gave him a quick hug and him and John watched the brothers until they pulled out of the driveway. A couple of houses down, another was watching the brothers as they drove away. With a sadistic smile on his face, he said, "Soon Randy, soon," started the car and drove down the street passed John's house with no headlights on and turned the corner.
