I think joeys POV

He honestly forgot he was in a strangers house and was wondering exactly where he was. His thoughts were interrupted when another nice looking man walked through the door. The man said "hi I'm Gerard, um Brendon why is there a strange man here?" "Well I found him tied to a tree left to die so I did the human thing and helped, I am a doctor sweets" Gerard got a look of complete fear and then after a second so did Brendon and they both turned to me with fear still in their eyes. It took a second to realize why they did that. Brendon and Gerard must be secretly dating (haha) of course they could get killed all I had to do was walk up to a guard. I wouldn't do that though since I'm gay myself. "Guys it's okay I'm gay too" I said and their faces filled with relief of not being killed.

   I got to know Gerard and Brendon pretty well that day. I found out that they've secretly been dating 5 years now and that they met at a concert they were both playing at. I found out Brendon was a lead singer in a band called Crazyness At the hoedown (idk but that was the fist name I came up with) and Gerard was the lead singer in a band call My witchcraft Love (those are supposed to be what the names would be like in older times)
   After a little more talking I asked Brendon how bad of a condition I was in and he said it was pretty bad but mainly just bruises, nothing broken, I was relived after that. Gerard then asked if I'd like to stay for dinner but I didn't want to intrude so I just lied and said I needed to get back to the farm I worked on, even though I didn't have a job. Then Brendon asked which farm and I told him "I work for Mr. Wentz" because that's the closest farm to my home. Both of them got a puzzled look on their faces. "Petes are friend and I just visited him yesterday and he said he wasn't missing a farmhand" Gerard said. I then got nervous because I'm not the best liar. "Joey do you have a place to stay and food to eat? Because if not you could stay with us and help around the house and garden, we don't mind actually it'd be nice to have someone besides Pete to talk to. We never take chances because we're afraid of getting killed and all" Brendon said. I got super nervous and didn't know what to say. They've already done to much for me I could ask for more. "No it's fine I have a house and plenty of food" I lied. "Joey it's okay if you need a place to stay. Together we both got enough money from our music and I'm a doctor so you being here wouldn't be a problem and plus we have that extra bedroom that Gerard would sleep in if we weren't dating. Also it wouldn't be to bad to have another person to help, I'm always with patients and Gerard here has a store so it would be nice" Brendon said concern laced his voice. I couldn't find a way out of it. Something I learned today was that both Brendon and Gerard were very persistent and always wanted to do the right thing so I had no choice "fine... But anytime I get annoying tell me and I'm out of here."

Later after dinner

   "Damn Gerard you can cook thanks!" I said complementing him because I haven't tasted food like that I'm well...  since ever I guess. "Thanks Joey" Gerard said. "Hey-" Brendon was interrupted by a knock at the door. He got up went to the door but when he opened it he was shoved to the ground. He instantly yelled run to Gerard and me after he saw Pete beat up and bruised. Gerard was reluctant but after enough demands from Brendon he did and him and me set off into the woods. After a couple of minutes running we stopped to take a breathe "they (breathe) must've found out (breathe) were gay" Gerard said in between big gasps of air. "How?" I asked. "I don't know but by the looks of it I don't think it was Pete and your gay and have been with us the whole time so...." "Wait doesn't Pete have a farm hand? Maybe he over heard something and told?" I asked. Just then he got a look of fear on his face. He fell to the ground with a great cry. "Wha wha wha (sob) what if he's dead!?!?! I I I (sob) I can't live with out him!! He's my compass but now I'll forever be alone" he then just bursted into tears. I dropped down and hugged him but I knew I couldn't make him feel better. After sitting there for about and hour we decided to go back and check the house. When we got there the outside seemed fine but the inside was destroyed. There was blood everywhere and everything was flipped and just a mess. When we got to the kitchen Gerard let out a horrible screech and collapsed on the floor crying. He scooted over to his now dead lover lying on the floor in a pool of his own blood. Neither of us knew what to say. I then walked back to the bedrooms to see if I could fine Pete and he was dead too but he was hung from the celling. The whole sene was was just horrific and no longer filled with good memories, the few I had, I walked back into the kitchen to see how Gerard was. He had a knife, gasoline, and a pack of matches next to him. "Go" he said no emotion in his voice. "What? I'm not leaving you like this" I said. "Joey... just please... let me do this I can't live with out him... he was the one who saved me when I thought nothing could. I love this man with all my heart and if I can't tell him that every single day then I don't want to live. He was lock to my key, the stars to my moon, the one who saved me from myself. But without him why would I stay?" He laughed a little at the end, not a normal laugh the one that has no hint of humor. "I know he would do the same for me.... go I don't want you here. You still can have a life, those people didn't know you were here so you can still get away... please Joey, just go and let me do this" a tear slid down his cheek. I knew if he stayed he would just me miserable so I walked away. I walked a couple meters then stopped to look back at the house. After a minute or so I saw a small flame that soon engulfed the whole house. I knew he had done it.

   It's been a week since the whole homophobic issue. I needed something that could get me food and shelter since my house was re-claimed. I knew I had only one option.... I had to offer myself to the king or prince since he's not married. (Let's just say you had to be married to be king) I slowly took the "walk of shame" to the castle. When I walked up to the doors a guard stopped him and asked what business I had. "Well sir I've come to offer myself to the king since I can't find work" I said. "alright I'll take you to another servant" the man said. He walked me down a hall a little way and then we turned into another hall and found a servant. "Take this man to the king he has come to offer his services" the guard said. The other man just nodded and led me to a different hall. This one was different it was much longer and two big double doors at the end. He quickly walked me to the double doors and opened them. As we walked in I was caught in a older (not by much) mans eyes. They were green with a hint of hazel, he was gorgeous and I just wanted him to ra- my thoughts were interrupted when the servant guy started to talk  "Sir this man said he has come to offer his services" the other guy who I'm assuming is the prince dismissed the servant guy and he quickly left. It was me and him.

Haha sorry for that little death. Please don't kill me
