TH - Long lost friend Chap 8

Bill, Georg and Tom entered Georg's home and made themself comfortable
in the living room.

Bill plopped onto the couch followed by Tom that sat next to him
twiddling with his thumbs, nervious to be in another persons house.

Georg sat across from them in a small chair,
and rested his elbows in his knee's.
Looking at Tom.. Then Bill, then back at the unknown male, Tom.
He sighed deeply.

"So.. What happened to Andreas?" Bill spoke up.

"I kicked him out. I found him in my room fucking smiling..
Proud of himself for what he did.. He was bleeding too."

"Urm yeah I kinda threw one of your lamps over his head, sorry.."

Tom looked over at Bill with wide eyes.
A small fragile thing like Bill can defend himself?

"Don't worry about it, I would of done the same.."

Bill looked down at the floor.
He felt terrible for putting Georg in a position like this.

"Bill... Did he hurt you, in anyway?.. Urm rape?.." Georg asked nerviously.

"No.. But I think he.. Tryed to.."

Georg threw himself out of the chair and pased back and forth,
trying to bottle up the anger that built up inside of him.

Bill and Tom watched him causiously.

"So what did he do..?"

Bill hesitated to answer.
He knew what to say, but he knew his cousin wasn't going to like it.
Tom knew what Bill was going to say too. He felt heartbroken.

"He.. Touched me.. And kissed me.."

"That mother FUCKING!-" Georg swung his arm out a smashed a vase into pieces.
He winced at the pain but he couldn't care less.

Bill whimpered and hid his face in Tom shoulders like a small child.
He loved his cousin very much but it frightened him to see him like this.

"Alright thats enough!!"

Bill and Georg looked up at Tom shocked at his outburst.
Tom wrapped his arm around his fragile friend and looked up at Georg in anger.

"Okay I understand what it feels like to have someone you love very much to get hurt.
But it doesn't mean you have to smashed up objects in the room!
Don't you think Bill has been through enough?!"

Georg looked at Tom in disbelief.. And hatred.
He walked closer looking down on him.

"Are you saying I don't care about MY cousin!!?"

Tom stood up, feeling the threat that Georg was throwing at him. And got to his level.
Leaning in closer.

"I wasn't saying that!"

"You was implying it!!"

"No I wasn't! Your just making this worse for Bill!"

"Who are you anyway!?" Georg hissed. "What makes you so special for Bill!?"

Georg pushed his forhead onto Tom's pushing him away, trying to make him back down.
But Tom was having non of it.

"I think Iam the one that helped it! The one that helped him when you weren't around!!"

Georg grabbed at Tom's collar tightly. And clenched his teeth.
It was becoming all to violent now.
Bill held onto the couch pillow, holding it close to his chest.

"Now you listen here bitch! I don't know who the hell you are, or were you came from!
So I would advise you to fucking stay away from my cousin!!"

Tom grabbed onto the other males hands trying to release himself.
But Georg was too strong for him.

"BILL MEANS THE WORLD TO ME!-" Tom screamed.

"DIDN'T YOU HEAR ME??
I SAID TO STAY AWAY FROM HIM!!"


"Make me.."

Georg raised his hand up and curled it into a fist.
He threw his knuckles into Tom's jaw with force recieving some cracks.

'Shit...'

Considering Tom was a ghost, he was still in human form, and had feelings.
The punches were excruciatingly painful. But then again.. he never felt so alive.

"STOP IT!!" Bill cried out. "YOUR HURTING HIM!!"

Bill sprinted behind Georg and clinged onto to his bloody fist tightly,
trying to stop the fight.

Georg shot a glare at Bill.

"WHAT DO YOU CARE!? HE'S NOTHING BUT A FAKE!!"

Georg shook his hand away from Bill grasp,
And threw him back onto the couch.

"HE ONLY WANTS TO HURT YOU!!"

"THE ONLY ONE WHO'S GETTING HURT IS HIM!!" Bill screamed.

The room fell silent.
As the echoes of punches imediately stopped.

Georg slowly looked back at Tom, realising what he has done.

Tom was black and blue, and his lip was badly cut.
He struggled to keep his bruised eyes open.
Blood escaped from his nose and his mouth as it trickled down Georg's hand
that was the only thing that was holding Tom up.

He looked like a rag doll.

"Oh my god... What have I done.."

Georg realised him,
as Tom's limp body fell gently onto the small chair.

Bill pushed Georg aside forcefully and collapsed to the floor next to Tom. Crying.
He wrapped his hand around Tom's as there fingers danced softly.

"Tom...." Bill whimpered.

Tom looked up at Bill and forced at smile upon his face.
He coughed and wheezed violently as blood splattered and onto his chest.

"Tomi..."

Tears started to trickle down Bill face.
He shot a glare at his cousin that was on the floor. Still shocked.

"HOW COULD YOU!!"

"Bill... Iam... Iam........ Just.-" Georg stuttered.

"YOUR A MONSTER THATS WHAT YOU ARE!
HE WAS ONLY TRYING TO HELP!"

"Bill Iam sorry!"

"I HATE YOU!" Bill spat.

Georg felt his heart break. And it stung like hell.
Bill.. His beloved cousin.. hated him?
He looked down at his feet. He was truely a monster..
He was only trying to keep his cousin safe.. But this time he has gone too far.


--------------------


It was getting late.

Bill held Tom up as he limped down the street.
Tears still fell from Bill's face as he tryed to hold back the little squeeks he made whenever
he cryed.

"Bill it's okay.. Iam dead." Tom spoke softly. "Remember?"

"No your not! Your still a living being just like the rest of us!
He shouldn't of done that to you!"

"Bill he was only trying to protect you.."

Bill didn't understand it.
Even when Georg beat the living daylights out of him, he still forgave him.
Tom was truely a strange being.. that was full of love.

Bill pushed his front door open and pulled Tom inside carefully. Shutting the door.
He made his way up the stairs and into the bathroom with Tom still in his arms he rested him on the bathside.

"Does it still hurt?"

Tom chuckled. "Like a bitch."

Bill laughed softly, and began filling up the sink with warm water.
He reached up to the cabinet and pulled out a first aid kit and placed it next to Tom.

"Whats that?" Tom questioned.

"Its a first aid kit.. Haven't you seen one of these before or something?"

Tom only shook his head and smiled sweetly.
Bill smiled back and turned off the taps.
He then opened the kit that was full of bandages and plasters and pulled out the some cotton buds.
Dunking them in the water he began to gently wipe at the dry blood on Tom's cheek.

"So when you was a kid and you got little scratches and cuts,
your mother didn't use the first aid kit."

"No."

Bill got another clean cotton bud and started wiping away the blood again.

Tom winced. "Well she had another thing to heal the wounds."

Bill was able to clean up the blood well.
And began to dab at the open wound on Tom's lip. It looked extremely sore.

"Oh really?.. And what was that?"

"Well like most mother's, she just use to kiss the wound.."

Bill looked up suprised.

"And did it work?"

"It did actually!" Tom laughed. "It always stopped the pain."

Bill stopped dabbing at the wound and looked up at Tom, as there eyes met,
they both blushed in six shades of red.
He slowly leaned in and kissed Tom's lips softly.
Never in his life has he ever kissed a boy, especially one like Tom.

Tom's eyes widened, he was shocked at his action.
But soon he caved in as his eyes fluttered shut. He kissed Bill back passionately.
His lips were so soft and irresistable.

Soon the room was full of butterflies breaking free, and echoeing heart beating wildly.

Tom lifted his hand and stroked Bill's delicate cheek bones.

They both stopped and looked deeply into each others eyes.
With toms hands on both sides of Bill's face, holding him closer. There noses touched.
Not wanting to break eye contact.
There breathing increased rapidly..


"Thankyou.." Tom whispered. "You made the pain go away."
