Of unsound mind.

Part 17

The homecoming, and the letter.

Manny asked how's things going with Keith, I told him it's been three months since we made it official that we're dating, I can remember when I our parents found out, at first, daddy Pierre didn't seem excited for us, but now that he sees how happy Keith makes me, he's somewhat okay about it. And he knows how daddy James is, Manny said in dad's words as long as his boys are happy than he's happy for us. Manny said he knows what dad Pierre said, we both said it at the same time, as long as I and Keith are safe, and still get the help we both need then he'll be fine with our relationship, we both laughed.

Manny asked when will Keith be back from his trip, I told him on Saturday I miss him so much, I wanted to go with him, but school started again so I stayed home, he calls me every day and tells me what he's doing. Speaking of calling he should be calling me soon, Manny said he's going to get his family and head home tell Keith hello for him, I told him I will and say goodbye to Jamie and CJ for me, Manny left the room and I waited for Keith to call me.

Twenty minutes later bae called, he asked me how my day was, I told him the same ole stuff just classes, and Kim told me to tell him hello, he said she better not be after his man, that dick is his. I laughed Keith said when it comes to me, he's not joking I know him, he said he'll be home Saturday and we can spend the weekend together, I told him I know what he wants, bae said after a month he's ready for a tune up his hole is getting tight.

CJ came into the room and said he'll see me tomorrow, I told him I'm on the phone with Keith, I'll call him later he said OKAY and left the room. Keith said it's funny I'm CJ's uncle and he's older than I am and about to graduate college, I told him age is just a number.

I told him I have some good news for him, but bad news for other people, he asked me what's the news, I told him Blake killed himself, his folks are taking it hard.

Chandler, maybe Blakes crimes caught up with him and he couldn't deal with it, bae said he thought he knew Blake and that was the last thing he thought he would do. I said he was a rapist, so he really didn't know him, anyway I don't want to talk about him. Bae said he wanted to be the one to tell me, Chandler said he has his hand down his pants, I told him to wait for me to come home, I'm just as horny as he is it's only two more days. As much as I enjoyed Rome, it wasn't the same without him here with me.

Chandler said for me he'll wait, and we'll take a trip together, we talked for an hour and said we love each other and hung up, I'm not going to say I'm not happy about Blake taking his life, but I'm not sad for him either, it's his parents I feel sorry for. I know I wanted to kill myself after I was raped, and I know my folks were hurt that I wanted to die, but I'm going to try and be strong no matter what.

A few days later I went home, mom asked me how my trip was, I told her we did talk every day and I told her, she said she just missed me, anyway I have some mail Mildred put in my room, dad said I'm looking good the trip did me well. I told him it was okay, dad said he's sure I missed Chandler, I smiled and went upstairs. I started to unpack, but I'll do it later I'm going to see my man. I packed another bag; I went through the mail mostly junk mail, but I saw an envelope from the lab, I started to open it, I said no I'm going to be with Chandler and I'm not letting what's in that envelope ruin it.

I went downstairs and told mom and dad they know where I'll be, mom asked am I coming home tonight, I told her I'm planning on spending the weekend with Chandler, she told me I've been gone for a month I can spend some time with them, I told her we can have lunch on Monday, I just left.

 I called Chandler and told him I'm on my way, he said go to the old house in the woods he'll be waiting for me, I told him I'll be there in five minutes, he said he'll be waiting. I hung up, I'm going to be with my man, I can't wait to see him.

I got to the old house and Chandler walked up to the car, he opened the door and pulled me out and kissed me, he said he has a surprise for me I got my bag, and we went into the house. Chandler walked me to the hall he told me to close my eyes, I did, and he took my hand and led me to the bedroom he told me to open my eyes.

Chandler you did this for me, he said yes, bae had candles and flowers all over the room, he kissed me and said sit down he has dinner for us all of my favorites, and don't worry Jeff won't come near this place. And he told his folks we'll be together all weekend. We ate and talked and afterwards we showered together, I got cleaned up and got a condom we made love and later we fucked I made sure Chandler used protection, I could tell my bae missed me just as much as I missed him, and both times the condom was full. We laid down and Chandler asked me am I okay he wasn't too rough with me was he, I told him no I'm just tired from my long flight, I've been a little out of the weather for a while I just need rest, babe just held me and said get some sleep we have all weekend to do what makes us feel good, I closed my eyes wondering what's in the envelope.

(The letter)

Tina and I were watching the evening news, and there was a follow-up about the boy who killed himself, in a local bath house, Tina said that's so sad about the young man probably feeling he couldn't talk to anyone about how he was feeling. I said it is a lot of young people need help, I'm just glad we got Keith the help that he needed, Tina said thank God, he didn't hurt himself. Tina said she's calling it a night; I told her I'll lock up and join her upstairs.

I locked up and went upstairs there's a light on in Keith's room, I walked down the hall, and I went in there to turn the light off, I noticed all the mail on his bed, I looked at it, wondering if he got any replies from some of the colleges he applied for. There was nothing from colleges just junk mail, but I saw an envelope from a lab, why would Keith have a letter from a lab, I took it and turned off the lights. I went to our room and Tina was coming out of the bathroom she asked me what I had, I told her I found it in Keith's mail it's from a lab, she asked why a lab would be sending anything to Keith. I looked at her and said if a lab sent it to Keith, he had some lab work done, she said what kind of work she took the envelope from me, I told her she can't open that it's for Keith, she asked me what I was going to do with it.

 I told her I started to open it, but I can't we told Keith we trust him he'll tell us what's it about, I don't think he saw it. Tina said then we should open it, she walked over to her dresser and got a letter opener and opened the letter.

She read it, she turned and looked at me with tears in her eyes, I asked her what it is, she walked over and gave me the letter, I read it, oh my God this can't be happening, I hugged Tina, and she cried in my arms. Damn just when things were going right for Keith, we have to tell him. Tina said oh God she hopes he's being safe with Chandler, he once tried to take his life over what happened to him, he could try it again.

I told her let's pray to God that the results are wrong, she said God she really hopes so.
