Disclaimer: I do not know any of the celebrities mentioned in the story, and I do not know the true sexuality of them either. This is a work of complete fiction, and you must be 21 to read it.
Thanks for all the feedback guys. I now have an editor, and hopefully things will start looking better. Sorry about all of the mistakes last time. Hope this one turns out better. Big thanks to Paul my editor.
Hey Guys! I am attempting to write another story. I felt like I was waiting for new chapters to come out on other stories. So, I thought I would give it a shot. If you have any questions or comments, or ideas, please e-mail me at elktonboi@aol.com. Feedback will be necessary for me to write this story. I need to know what you like and what you don't Like. This story isn't meant to get you off. So, don't write asking for sex scenes. A lot of the things in this story are based on my ideals, and I am a virgin (so not a lot of action)!
Last Time:"Josh," I said grabbing his hand gently. " I can't go any further. Can you get to the terminal all right?" I asked. "I put my number in your phone, so call me if you need anything at all. Even if you need someone to talk to call me. Justin is meeting you in Baltimore. So, You should be okay." Josh pulled me towards him and buried his face in my neck.
"Thank you, Jackson. I promise I will repay you." With that, he gave me a soft kiss on my neck and looked me in my eyes. His kiss sent jolts through my body. It almost look like he wanted to kiss me again in front of the whole airport. Instead, he just smiled. "I will call you soon. Bye." With that, he let go of my hand, and headed on his way. I felt like something happened with us, and I was tempted to call his name and tell him I wanted to go with him. Instead, I just walked away trying not to get my hopes up.
Chapter 2
It had been a few hours since I dropped Josh off at the airport, and I was worried about him the entire time. I was trying to do anything to keep me busy, but it wasn't working. It seems that the media heard about Josh's mom, and it was all over the news. It was on the TV, radio, and computer. So, I opted for a nap.
Let me tell you a little more about my life. I have lived in Charlotte for about a year. I moved here after my parents kicked me out when I came out to them. They were strong Southern Baptists, and they thought I was living a life of sin. My grandma graciously took me into her home. She lived in the nice area of town, and I had everything I wanted. She stopped talking to my parents shortly after they kicked me out, and she was the closest thing I had to a friend. We did everything together. Shopping was our favorite pastime. I thought that I would finally be happy until the fateful day that I received the call that no one wants to get.
Memory I was napping as usual when I was awoken by my phone. "Hello" I spoke into the phone.
"May I please speak to Jackson McFarland?" An unknown voice asked.
"This is he. Who is this?"
"My name is Liz Darcy, and I am a nurse at Presbyterian Hospital." As soon as she said that, my heart shattered. "We need you to come down to the hospital. It seems your grandmother has suffered from a heart attack." I hung up the phone and called my friend.
"Hello?" A queeny voice came over the other line.
"Trent, I need you!" I managed to say between sobs.
"Jackson? What's wrong?" He asked.
"Please, just get here." I hung up the phone and collapsed on my bed. I began sobbing. I didn't know what to do. The one person that saved me was now dying. I must have been crying for 20 minutes or so when I felt a pair of arms wrap around me. I knew instantly it was Trent, and I was happy he had a key to my uptown townhouse.
"What happened, Jackson?" He asked while caressing my cheek.
"She's dying Trent." I wailed.
"Who?" he asked.
"Grandma Jane. She had a heart attack."
I don't really remember the details of that day. By the time Trent and I got to the hospital, Jane already passed away.
End of Memory
I would have never made it through that tragic day and the days after if it wasn't for Trent. He was there when no one else was. It ended up that my grandma left me her entire estate which summed up to be somewhere around the amount of $45 million. I distributed it around the family, and I even gave some to my parents. I ended up with $23 million after everything was over. Having money is nice, but I would rather have my grandma any day of the week.
I woke up from my nap, and I decided I would cook a very late dinner. Halfway into cooking the chicken, my cell phone rang. Instinctively, I answered it without looking at the caller ID.
"House of Beauty, This is Cutie. How may I help you?" I said into the phone thinking it was my friend Trent. All I got on the line was a giggle. I then realized it wasn't Trent. "Oh my god, I am so embarrassed."
"Don't be, I thought it was cute." A soft voice said on the other line.
"Who did I just embarrass myself in front of?" Please don't be Josh.
"The one and only Josh." I could almost imagine the grin he had on his face.
"Hey, how are you? I was worried about you today."
"That's sweet. I am doing ok. The doctors think my mom is going to pull through. I am so lucky I didn't lose her." I could hear him sniffle through the phone.
"Hey, you didn't lose her though. Now you are going to have to cherish the rest of the time that you have with your mom. You have to keep reminding her that you love her." I whispered into the phone.
"I wish someone was here with me. I don' think I can deal with this on my own."
"What about Justin or the rest of your family?" I asked
"Their good for that but I need a different kind of comfort." I was confused as to what that suggested. "I wish you were here. You were so nice and gentle with me at the airport."
"I was I was there too. I hate to hear you in so much pain." I had tears coming down my eyes as well.
"Why don't you come then?" He asked
"Josh, why do you want me there? Wouldn't that cause trouble with your family and friends?" I asked. I didn't want to get in the middle of his family drama.
"You would only be here supporting a friend, and that's what I really need right now." Josh pleaded.
"All right, let me check some things out with my job, and I'll give you a call back when I figure it out." I told him.
"Great! I am going to try to book you on the next flight up. Call me, OK?" Josh asked.
"Will do. Call me if you need anything at all. Bye." I hung up the phone and sunk into the couch trying to figure out what I was going to do.
Josh's POV*
I had just hung up the phone with Jackson when I heard Justin speak up behind me.
"Care to tell me what that was all about?" Justin asked Josh.
"Is there a reason why I should explain anything to you?" Josh asked bitterly. Justin knelt down in front of Josh and looked him in his eyes.
"Josh, I can see that you're hurting. I know that our mom's stroke was a big part, but even before that I could tell something was going on. Please talk to me. It hurts me to see you call for a complete stranger to come help you when I am right here." Justin was still kneeling in front of Josh.
"Curly, I am just not ready to talk to you about it yet. I promise I will some time soon, but not yet. You are my best friend, and you always will be. Sometimes you need outside reinforcements, and that's what Jackson is to me. We bonded somehow on the car trip, and I need him here." Josh started to get up, but Justin stopped him by gripping his hand.
"That's cool Josh. Just remember that I am always here for you, and you can come to me in any situation. I'll always love you, bud." Josh pulled Justin into a hug, and they were both happy for the time being.
Jackson POV
"Trent," I spoke into the phone while rampaging through my house trying to find everything I would need for the trip." I don't know why I am even considering going to Baltimore to help a complete stranger. He needs me, and that's all that matters."
"Jackson, you are wasting your time. You are getting your hopes up, and nothing will come out of it." He spat.
"I don't care if something comes of it or not. He needs someone, and he chose me. So, I am going to hop on that plane and help him." I hung up the phone and headed out the door.
*****Will Jackson go to see Josh, or will he bail out before he gets there? Stay tuned for the next episode :).
