Chapter 1

A Secret Revealed

Fourteen year old Justin opened his eyes, and saw the sun shining in through his bedroom window radiantly announcing the start of a glorious March spring morning in western Georgia. Glancing at the clock on his night stand he saw that it was five minutes before seven. He stretched his full 5' 4", 110 pound frame at the same time as Cougar, his tawny overweight cat. A smile crossed Justin's face as remembered what happened yesterday. Just after the start of second period, the PA system announced "Justin Blake please report to the principal's office". The slight tawny complexion on Justin's face blanched as his classmates said in unison 'Justin is in trrrouble.' All except Kyle, who when he saw Justin's face, knew the fear that his best friend was feeling. But, then Kyle was the only one who knew Justin's guarded secret that was the cause of his fear. The rest of his classmates didn't know what would happen to Justin if he was in trouble. Justin looked at Kyle as he slowly made his way to the classroom door. Kyle smiled and mouthed, "It will be OK." As Justin walked down the hallway, his heart began to beat faster and his breathing was almost to the point of hyperventilating. It will not be ok and Justin knew it, if he had somehow got into trouble his dad 'the general' would know by tonight. That would mean he wouldn't be able to go to school for a few days until all the signs of his father's punishment had disappeared.

• • • Kyle had found out Justin's second most guarded secret last fall by accident. When Justin hadn't been in school for several days and wouldn't answer any phone calls or e-mails Kyle got on his bike after school and rode the two miles to Justin's house. Parking his bike on the lawn he had gone around to the back patio door, like he and Justin always did, and knocked on the door. When no one answered he walked into the house. Once inside, he had yelled hello but nobody answered. He could hear Justin's mom running a vacuum in the family room in the basement so he went upstairs to Justin's room. What he found when he walked into Justin's room had shocked him to the core of his being. Justin lay on his bed in a pair of black boxers his left eye was purple and green, and swollen so much that it would have been impossible to see anything out of it. His other eye was swollen also and there were tears running down his cheeks. His whole torso was covered in bruises. He had head phones on listening to music so that he hadn't heard Kyle come into the room. Kyle's young body shook with rage as he looked at his best friend. Always short tempered anyway, his anger was at full tilt at whoever had done this to his best bud. Kyle reached out and gently shook Justin's shoulder. When Justin slowly opened his right eye, and saw who was standing beside his bed, his face went white with fear. "What are you doing here Kyle", he shouted? "You didn't return any of my calls or e-mails so I rode over to find out what was wrong. I knocked on the patio door but there was no answer so I opened it, and heard your mom vacuuming down in the family room, so I came up on my own." "You have to go right now, if mom finds you here she will tell the General that you saw me and he will kill both of us." Justin rattled as his body began to shake and tears poured down his face. "Your father did this to you" questioned a shocked Kyle?

"Yes," Justin nodded as the tears flowed down his face even faster.

"We have to tell someone, Justin" Kyle yelled back. "Noooooo please don't tell anyone, if you care about me don't say a word. Just leave right now before my mom finds you here, and I promise as soon as I come back to school I will tell you everything." Kyle left, and five days later Justin came back to school. When Kyle looked at him in home room, Justin wouldn't even meet his eyes. As the bell rang for math class instead of walking with Kyle, Justin hurried to class not talking to anyone or answering any of their questions about why he had been out of school for the last two weeks. In third period English class Justin and Kyle had seats in the back row side by side, and when Justin still wouldn't talk to him Kyle wrote a note to Justin that said. "YOU PROMISED, if you don't talk to me I will go and talk to Miss Haywood." (the assistant principal).

Justin read the note and looked at Kyle with tears glistening in his eyes and mouthed "Please don't.".

"At lunch then." Kyle mouthed back. Justin gave a little nod and turned his face back to the front of the room and the teacher. When the bell rang marking the end of fourth period, Kyle headed to the restroom to take a wiz. After stowing his books in his locker he hurried to the lunch room, thinking to himself that there is no way I am going to let Justin get away without telling me everything. After filling his tray with what the students called 'how can they make anything taste this bad' he walked into the seating area. Glancing over to the table where his and Justin's group always sat. John, David, Zack, Mel, and Jen were there, but no Justin. Kyle scanned the room to see where Justin might be sitting, but he wasn't in the room. "Kyle, wassup with Justin," asked the table of his friends as he set his tray down. "Don't know" Kyle answered back as he again scanned the room. "Did any of you see where Justin went after class?" "No, we thought he was with you like always," they answered. Where could he be Kyle wondered? Then he remembered another time last year when Justin had been upset and had gone to the outdoor bleachers that time. "See you guys in science," Kyle said as he tossed his untouched food tray on the dirty dish belt. No one was supposed to be on the sports field during lunch so Kyle had to pretend that he was going to the restroom in the gym in order to get out a side door without being seen by a teacher. Kyle found Justin sitting at the far end of the bleachers crying. He walked up to Justin and wrapped his arms around his best friend and held him as he cried. He kept saying "it will be alright Justin I promise." And as he held Justin Kyle could feel him shake as he silently wept. Kyle then did something that he never would have done under any other circumstances, he took Justin's face in his hands and began to kiss his face and stroke his hair. Kyle had kissed a few girls like any other normal ninth grader, but this was the first time he had ever kissed a boy. Kyle drew back and said "Justin, I love you as much as I can and it kills me to see you hurting like this. That bastard should be thrown in the Brig and the key tossed into the ocean for doing this to you. This isn't the first time he has done this to you, is it?"

Justin looked up into Kyle's eyes and saw two emotions warring there. One was hatred, and the other was love. "Nooooooo" Justin wailed as the tears flowed anew.

Kyle didn't know what to do, he only knew that his best friend was hurting like no one he had ever seen. At first he considered slapping Justin's face as he had seen actor's doing in movies, but then remembering all the pain his best friend had already suffered. Kyle instead did something that for the rest of his life he never truly understood. Without even thinking about it, he bent down, took Justin in his arms and kissed him on the lips just like he would a girl. At first Justin tried to pull back, but then he began to respond and their tongues touched. Kyle heard Justin utter a quiet moan, then he began to feel the tingling in his groin that he got when he kissed a girl. Suddenly Kyle realized that he was as hard as a rock, and broke the kiss. Justin looked up at Kyle and said "WOW!". "I'm not gay!" Kyle almost shouted. "I know, but what you did made me feel better, and we don't need to tell anyone OK."answered Justin. Kyle gave Justin a high five, and then said "Are ready to talk now?" "Can I come over after school today instead, and we can talk then." "Sure, but will you be able to come over." asked Kyle? "I know I'm not usually allowed on a school night, but if I tell my mom, it's so you can help me to catch up on some of the notes from class, I think she might let me. The General would never allow me to have any excuse for not bringing home all A's. Let's go call my mom and see if she will go for it." The two boys walked back into the school. Justin called his mom from the pay-phone in the gym hallway. At first she said "no", but after Justin explained that there was no other way for him to get the information she said "ok, but only until 5:30, I'll call the General and have him pick you up on the way home." For the first time that day, Justin's face had a smile on it like the old Justin. As they walked into History class, everyone could see the difference in Justin, and they both got high fives all the way to the back of the classroom where their seats were. The next two classes flew by quickly and then they went to PE. Justin had the last locker next to the wall and Kyle's was just before it. "Kyle, will you stand in front of me while I get dressed, some of the marks still show on my ribs?" "No problem bud," Kyle answered. "But, what are you going to do about showering, you know there is no way you can leave the gym without taking one?" "I don't know, maybe we can think of something in class. We better hurry, if we're late Mr. Aker will make us run laps and I'm too sore to do that." The class worked on basketball dribbling drills the whole period so Justin didn't have to run much. When the coach blew the whistle for showers, he yelled "Justin and Kyle, pick up the balls and put them away before you shower."

Justin thought there is a God after all, and by the time he and Kyle had put all the balls away, most of the guys had finished their showers. The two boys had taken their sweet time putting away the balls until the coach yelled "shag your asses boys, I don't want to be here all night waiting for you two." They had hurried and finished and then gone into the locker room. There were only two boys left and they were getting dressed. "I've a meeting in five minutes that I can't be late for. Can you two behave and not get in trouble if I leave?" asked coach Aker.

"No problem sir." the two boys answered in unison.

"And don't let me find out you were messing around in the showers either." he said as he looked intently at the two of them.

Both boy's faces got red. After the coach had left, Kyle asked Justin "Do you think he saw us at lunch?"

"I sure hope not. That's all I need is for someone to tell the General that they think I'm gay, then he would really kill me." "Look Justin, about what I did out on the bleacher, I'm not even bi, never mind gay, I saw you hurting so bad that I had to do something to comfort you." "I know, so we just have to make sure that we don't ever give the coach any reason to think different," answered Justin. "OK, lets hit the shower." said Kyle. The two boys undressed, grabbed their towels and walked into the shower room and began to shower. Having been best friends for the past seven years and having played on several teams together, as well as two years in PE they were used to seeing each other naked. As they began to wash, Justin turned away from Kyle. Kyle thought Justin was acting kind of weird, but maybe he had marks where he didn't want him to see. Kyle finished and went to get dressed. He was all dressed and Justin was still in the shower.

"Come on Justin we got to get out of here before we get in trouble." Kyle shouted into the shower room.

"Why don't you meet me at the bike rack," asked Justin?

But, before Kyle could answer, the soccer coach came in and seeing Justin still in the shower, shouted "Blake get your skinny little ass out of that shower before I have to tell coach you were messing around in there."

"Please don't say anything sir, I'll make sure he gets out right now and we will leave right away," said Kyle. "Justin, come on or you will get in trouble again" Kyle whispered loudly into the shower room."

"I can't yet." answered Justin.

"Bullshit!"

Kyle walked fully clothed into the shower room and turned off Justin's shower head, grabbed him by the arm and tried to pull him out of the room. Justin was still turning his back to him and trying to stay in the shower room.

"What to hell are you doing?" Kyle grabbed Justin by the shoulders and turned him around? Justin's face went from his normal light tan to beet red in one second. Kyle looked down and saw what Justin's problem was. "Hey bud, I've seen your pocket rocket plenty of times maybe not already to shoot off into space, but it isn't anything to be embarrassed about. Hell I get boners all the time now too, it's not like you were going queer on me, it's just hormones. So come on and walk right behind me and I'll stand guard while you get dressed." His face was still beet red as Justin followed Kyle into the locker room and got dressed. As he was dressing, all Justin could think about was if Kyle knew the real reason that he had the hard-on was because of thinking about the kiss that Kyle had given him out at the bleachers, then instead of covering for him he would be beating the shit out of him.

"Let's get out of here" Justin said as he finished tying his last sneaker lace. Just as they got to the bike rack Kyle grabbed Justin's arms and made him look into his eyes. "Justin I don't want you to worry about what happened in the shower. Hell, why do you think most of the guys wear their shirts out of their pants and real big T's at that? We all get hard-ons all the time and we need to cover it somehow. It just happened to you in the shower, no big deal. My dad, and I had a long talk about getting boners last year. He told me that at our age it just happens, even when we definitely don't want to have one. He told me when he was fourteen he was on the wrestling team and the boys were always popping boners but no one ever made a big deal about it, of course wearing a jock helped hide them. I will tell you a secret if you absolutely promise not to ever tell anyone." "OK, you can trust me." "Welllll when, oh shit this is really embarrassing, but I'm going to tell you anyway. You know when I kissed you this noon and we were kind off doing that tongue thing." "Ya."answered Justin. "Well I kind of popped a boner when we did that, and you know I am as straight as they come, but it felt real good and sometimes little Kyle does things I don't want him to." Justin punched Kyle in the shoulder, and said "You really are the best bud any guy has ever had." The two boys unlocked their bikes and began riding to Kyle's house. Neither one spoke for a few minutes as they rode side by side. "Hey Kyle, did you see what Marcy was wearing today", asked Justin. This time it was Kyle's turn to blush and he did a good job of it. Justin knew that Kyle had it really bad for Marcy, and he loved to tease him. Especially since Kyle was too shy to even talk to her, and instead just got this sappy look on his face whenever he saw her. "Well I guess we are like twins, we have both had boners and red faces today, laughed Justin. The two boys looked at each other bursting into a fit of giggles as they rode the last hundred yards to Kyle's house. As they entered the house Kyle's mom stepped out of the livingroom and said "I'm glad to see you are better Justin. Kyle told me you had been out of school for almost two weeks. What happened honey?" "He just got banged up riding a dirt bike two weeks ago, answered Kyle. "Did you get hurt bad honey?"

"Ah mom, enough of the honey stuff, we're not little boys anymore were almost men." said Kyle.

Kyle's mom gave off a little giggle herself and then with a mischievous grin on her face she said, " I know you two are becoming men, don't you think I notice that my two favorite boys who have always dressed as neat as a pin, suddenly start wearing your shirts untucked and borrowing your father big T's." At that moment both boys' faces turned as red as a ripe Cortland apple. "Oh my, I guess I made the two of you blush," Peg said as she laughed so hard that tears ran down her cheeks. Then she took one of her hands and slapped it with the other one saying, "bad mom, bad mom, hehehehe." By that time both of the boys were rolling on the floor laughing. Kyle looked up at his mom and said, "I love you, but you are such a nut sometimes." With that over, the two boys with arms over each others shoulders, and a can of pop in their other hands, went up to Kyle's room still giggling. "Alright, enough delays, now tell me what happened and why that bastard beat you," Kyle stated in an almost military fashion. "No sugar coating anything and don't leave anything out because I know you too well." "Alright you deserve to know. You remember a couple of Tuesdays ago we got back our those big history papers. Well I got an A, but Miss Hopper made a note that even though it was a great paper if I had done a little more research I would have had a paper that could have been entered into that DAR statewide historical essay contest. I didn't know it was that important so I hadn't done my very best. I thought as long as I got an A it would be OK. I left my papers on the General's desk like always when I got home and forgot about it. He got home late that day and mom and I had already eaten. I was out back hitting a tennis ball with my bat. And I guess I swung too hard, because just after the General had sat down to have a drink and look over my papers I hit a curve ball and it broke the window right behind his desk. I knew I was in big trouble for that, but never expected for him to be mad about my getting an A. I knew that if I didn't go inside and take my punishment right away for the window it would only be worse. When I got inside, my mom had just come from the General's den and she looked at me and said 'why did you do that, you know how he is?'. When she said that I wished I was could somehow disappear. I knew this was going to be a bad beating. I walked into his den and stood at attention like I always have, with my eyes cast toward the floor. "What ta fuck did you think you were trying to pull with this stunt you lazy little, sorry ass, puke.' "General, I'll pay for the window, I was playing in the back yard with a tennis ball like you said I could, and I guess I hit it wrong because even though I was facing the way you told me. But, the ball went foul and hit your window sir.' Then he just stood up and walked around his desk with a piece of paper in his hand and said 'not the fucking window you lazy ass faggot' and he just hit me in the face with his fist". Kyle couldn't believe what Justin had told him so far. The General stood six foot five and was all muscle. He always keeps in shape by working out with a punching bag and in the boxing ring. His dad had told him 'the General liked to knockout his subordinates in the boxing ring just to show everyone that he wasn't just the base commander, but also still the baddest of all the bad asses out there.' "When he hit me, I flew across the room and hit the door in midair. He walked over to me and grabbed me by my shirt and lifted me off the floor. 'This isn't about the fucking window it's about fucking up on this paper'. "But, but dddad I got an A.' Then he slapped me like I was some kind of paper doll. My head bounce around l as if it was attached by a spring. "You can't get better than an A,' I said. Then he held me up in the air with his left hand and began punching me with his right hand. All of a sudden I pissed myself, and that's when he threw me to the floor and began to kick me, yelling that I was a filthy faggot pussy boy. I passed out and didn't wake up until the next afternoon." "My mom came to my room to check on me, when she saw I was awake she said, ' Justin how could you be so stupid to as to talk back to the General? He told me I can't bring any food up to you. Until you can come down to the table and eat with the rest of us you don't get any food. Do you have any candy bars or anything else up here to eat?' "I might have one in my backpack, but that is about it.' "Do you have any of your allowance left, if you do I will go to the store and get you something to hide in your room until you can come downstairs.' "Yea, I have seven dollars in my wallet.' " I'll take it and bring you some candy and power bars, will that be ok?' "Sure mom that will be great.' "Justin I wish the General wouldn't hurt you like this, but you know there isn't anything I can do to help you.' "I know mom, you have to do whatever he says, I just wish you could both love me like Kyle's parents love him. I miss Jeff as much as both of you do, but I am your son too.'

Penny's face had been red with shame and guilt as she had walked out of Justin's room to go to the store to get the things for him, before the General found out. By this time Justin was crying so hard that Kyle could hardly tell what he was saying. "On the day you came over, all I had eaten for the last three days were the candy and power bars my mom had hidden in my room for me. It hurt too much to try and walk downstairs until the next day. That first day I couldn't get out of bed by myself and I ended up wetting my bed while my mom was out getting me the food and I had to lay in it until she came home and changed it for me."

Kyle wrapped his arms around Justin and they cried together for a long time. "Justin we have to tell my parents about this, they love you and my dad is a Psychologist at the base he will know what to do so that the bastard can never hurt you again. Maybe you could even come and live with us." "Kyle I told you that no one can know!" "Don't be stupid, next time he will kill you, you know that don't you?" "Kyle please, you know who my father is and everybody thinks there just isn't any better man. No one would believe me and my mom would back the General to the hilt. So I would just get beat more." "Justin, man I love you and I just can't let this go." "If you say one word to anyone I'll deny it, and then your family will be in deep shit with the General. Not only that, but I will never speak to you again. But you won't have to worry about that because your dad will be transferred to the worst duty station in the Army. I know he may be a Captain, but a General outranks him by a lot and your family will be in deep shit." "Justin you can't expect me to do nothing." "OK I'll tell you what. If it happens again I will tell Miss Haywood, I promise." "Alright, but if it happens again, and we both know it will, if you don't tell I will and let the chips fall where they may, deal." "Deal?" Justin said.
