Part 17

Cindy and Charlie spent the next hour just sitting together on the sofa gently holding each other talking, about anything and everything. The telephone ringing interrupted their discussion and Cindy got up to go answer it. The first that he knew there was a problem when he heard her voice cry out "OH NO!" and he immediately got up and went to where she was standing by the phone and wrapped his arms around her.

When she hung up the phone, she turned around inside his arms and hugged him tightly. With tears streaming down her face, she looked up at him. "There's been an accident and my Mom and Kathy are hurt bad and being taken to the hospital!"

"What happened? Are they going to be ok?"

"That was Dad and he said Mom's car got hit broadside and that the medics got his phone number from Kathy and called him. Mom's unconscious and apparently has a bad cut on her head from hitting her head on the door post, but they think she'll be ok. Kathy has a broken arm and leg, both on the right side; the car that hit them hit right on the door beside her. She also may have some broken ribs and internal injuries, they won't know until they can x-ray her and run some tests, but she's awake and talking to them but in terrible pain. Dad's going to swing by and pick me up so we can go to the hospital and be with them. Charlie, I have to go..."

"Of course you do Cindy, you need to be with your family. You go when your Dad gets here and don't worry about me, I'll be fine here."

"But Charlie someone has to be here with you?"

"Call Carol or Candy or Susan, maybe one of them could come over. If not, I'll be ok until Mary gets home, it's only a few hours... It's not a big deal for me to be alone for awhile."

"No I can't let you be left alone, I'm responsible..." she sternly replied and then made several phone calls, until someone finally answered. "Max? It's Cindy... is Susan home? Shit! I need someone to come stay with Charlie for a couple of hours until his sister gets home. My mom and Kathy were in a car accident and I need to go to the hospital with my dad. You will? Great!"

Turning back around, she told him what was going on. "I tried Carol and Candy and no one answered, so I called Sue, but she's not home. Max answered the phone and said he'd come stay with you until your sister gets home, is that ok with you?"

"Sure no problem, I met him yesterday, he's a nice guy. We'll just hangout until Mary gets here, but it's really not necessary Cindy. I can be alone for awhile..."

"No, someone has to be here in case you need help. That's why you father hired Kathy and expects that either she or someone else responsible will be here with you. So is Max ok really? I mean he's younger than you, but then so are all of us..."

"Max is fine, now let's clean up your face and get you ready; I expect your dad will be here soon and you need to look good when you visit the hospital." He replied and kissed her forehead, then led her to the bathroom and washed the tear streaks from her face. "There, now you look normal except for a little redness in your eyes. You don't want your sister or mother to see you crying, it will make them feel worse than they do. You'll have to be brave Cindy, they'll probably look pretty bad when you see them, you know bandages and all. But you have to let them see that you think they will be alright."

Ten minutes later a car pulled into the drive, it was her father. "Go Cindy, I'll be fine, Max is on the way. Call me when you get back and let me know how they're doing, I hope both of them will be ok... tell Kathy I love her..." he said giving her a final hug and pushing her towards the door. Cindy, whispered 'I will' and ran out to the car and was gone. Charlie just stood there looking out the window, his arms wrapped around himself, worried about his best friend.

He was still standing there ten more minutes later when Max came running down the street and looking at the house saw the naked boy standing looking out the window. He didn't bother with the doorbell or knocking, but charged into the house and found Charlie standing stock still, tears streaming down his face. "Charlie?"

Charlie turned his head and hugged himself tighter, "Kathy's hurt really bad..." he whimpered and was immediately grabbed in a tight hug by the other boy. The emotional dam broke and Charlie held on for dear life as he cried against Max's shoulder. "She's my best friend in the whole world, I... I can't lose her..." he whimpered.

"You won't," Max whispered as he guided Charlie away from the window and over to the sofa and then sat him down and was going to sit beside him, when Charlie just moved onto his lap and buried his face into his shoulder again, still crying and his whole body wracked with tremors.

Max didn't know what to do or say, so he just held the boy and stroked his head and body, trying to sooth him as much as possible and let him know that someone cared. Charlie continued crying until he couldn't anymore, and then realized he was being held by the other boy. Max realized that something had changes because he could feel the other boy get tense.

"You ok now Charlie?" he softly asked, his fingers lightly brushing the long blond hair away from his face, then sliding his hand over the shoulder and stroking his back.

Charlie sat up and was very red faced when he looked at the other boy. "Yeah I'll be ok... Uh thanks for being here Max... I didn't think something like that would happen... with me... you... you were really nice... I'm...a wreck... I... I should get up..."

Turning Charlie's head, so that they were eye to eye, "Charlie I'm not letting you move until I'm sure you're ok. You needed to be held and I held you, so quit being embarrassed about it. I'd feel that way too if my best friend were hurt badly, so just relax a little and when you're back in control of your emotions, I'll let you get up, if that's what you want. But until then, I'm going to keep right on holding you." Then lightly kissed Charlie's cheek and pulled him in tighter until Charlie laid his head against his shoulder, and the tenseness seemed to drain from his body and his breathing softened.

"Thanks Max," Charlie whispered and snuggled into the boy, his legs wrapping up and pulling against the other boy's side. They sat like that for a long time until finally Charlie moved his legs back out some and lifted his head, then leaned up and kissed Max on the cheek. "You're really a nice guy Max, thanks for doing that for me... I just lost it... and I don't know, it was strange being held by another boy like that..."

"Feel better now?" Max asked looking down into the still red and puffy blue eyes.

"Yeah, I think I'll be ok now."

"Want to sit up or would you like to be held some more. I don't mind doing this, you're kind of nice to cuddle with you know."

Charlie thought about it for a minute before answering. "Actually I wouldn't mind being held for a while longer if that's ok with you. Normally I wouldn't even consider asking another boy to do that. But you're different than any other boy I know. You're really nice and well it feels good being held by you..."

<chuckle> "Well we'll just stay here and relax then. Talk if you want or just enjoy being close, whatever you want Charlie. You know you're different than most other boys, very open emotionally and I like that. Most boys would have tried to hold all that inside and then gotten all angry and broke something; they're afraid to show emotions and all paranoid about touching another boy. No wonder my sister is all 'hot to trot' about you."

"What? What are you saying?"

"I'm saying that you are a very desirable boy. My sister and all of her friends are always talking about you and how nice you are and how much they'd like to get together with you and how sexually attractive you are," he said with a chuckle then patted Charlie's rear. "You are one hot property Dude, every girl from 9 – 15 years old in this area wants your hot little body."

"You're Kidding!" Charlie responded sitting up quickly.

"No I'm not, I hear them all the time at our house; almost every girl in that 'Angels' group wants to throw you down and have their way with you."

"Shit, I don't need this..." Charlie replied, leaning back down and resting his head against Max's shoulder again.

<chuckle> "Relax Dude there are worse problems to have; than having all the girls after you. This way you get to pick and choose. From what I've heard, you could have any girl you wanted on whatever terms you want."

"Uh Max... could you do something for me?"

"What?"

"Uh.. my name is Charlie, please quit calling me 'Dude'... I'm not some 'surfer' type and I'd rather know that you're talking to me and not someone else." <chuckle> "OK Charlie, not a problem; guess I've been watching too much TV and picked up that slang. But since we are the only one's here, I'm obviously talking to you and not some other guy."

"Max, can I ask you something really personal? You don't have to answer if you don't want to."

"Sure Charlie, I'll try my best... What do you want to know?"

"Max, how did you get into doing... you know sex stuff with boys? God this is so embarrassing to even ask!"

"God you weren't kidding when you said 'really personal'; but ok I'll try and answer as best I can." Then paused and was obviously thinking. "Actually I don't remember not doing things, at least with my brother. You know I have a brother one year younger than me right?" and Charlie nodded. "Well we've always been really close, you know baths together and sleeping in the same room and well, Nick's my best friend and we've always played together. And you know our family are nudists right? (another nod) Well that means we've been naked together more than clothed really. About the only time Nick or I wear clothes is going somewhere like school or church or out in public like when I came over here. So seeing my brother naked all the time and him seeing me and us doing all the normal boy stuff like playing sports or wresting or whatever, means we're used to body contact with another naked boy. Same thing when we went to the naturist camps; always lots of naked boys and girls and no one ever thought it strange or unusual that there was lots of body contact between naked kids."

"Didn't parents try to stop that? I mean at least boys and girls?"

"No it was considered natural and it wasn't sexual. If a kid skinned a knee or fell hard and needed a hug or held; then they got it. Didn't make any difference whether it was a boy or a girl; us kids stuck together and helped each other however was needed."

"Well that's different..."

"Not really, the only difference was we were naked. So anyway as we got a little older, and I say that because we've always gone to those camps and stuff ever since we were babies; every once in a while a boy would pop a boner and it wasn't any big deal. The first time I had one, I was playing with a few other kids and they got excited and wanted to check it out; so there I am sitting with my legs open as both boys and girls are checking it and feeling it and it felt good, no matter who was handling it. As other boys got them, the same thing happened and we'd all check each other's hard-ons but it still wasn't anything really sexual more curiosity."

"Kind of like playing 'doctor' then, you show me yours and I'll show you mine?"

"A little like that, but not the same either, since we were all naked all the time. I mean, I've seen naked bodies all my life. Babies, little girls and boys, teenagers, men, women, all shapes and sizes. If I wanted to see a girl up close, usually all I had to do was ask. Not like sneaking peeks or something. Actually for me it's more sexually arousing to see a girl flash her panties under her skirt or in a skimpy bikini than to see her totally naked." He explained with a shrug. "Being naked isn't necessarily sexual, where a girl flashing her panties at you is, especially if she's doing it intentionally." "It's the 'forbidden' thing then I gather?"

"Right, what's hidden is sexual, what's out there in the open isn't necessarily. So anyway back to boys, because I've always been interested in sexual stuff with girls. Nick and I used to sleep together naked all the time; still do mostly. Anyway when we started getting erections, it would happen at night too when we slept together and it felt good to rub it against another body; and it just kind of progressed to using our hands to rub each other, you know. We'd have dry orgasms doing that, because neither of us were old enough to shoot cum yet. My brother has always loved being held by almost anyone and it was usual for us to hold each other while sleeping, and we kind of experimented different things, some intentional and some more accidental. You know like I'd wake up in the middle of the night with his leg between mine and my dick rubbing on it or feel his boner between my legs as we slept, him rubbing it back and forth between my thighs, not even waking up while doing that. So it just kind of progressed between the two of us; and then we'd talk to other boys and found out about jerking off and so we'd do that together intentionally and then tried doing it to each other. It always felt better with someone else's hand doing it than my own; but that's not unusual for other boys to do either; a friend of mine in the Boy Scouts says they do that all the time."

"Yeah other guys have told me that too; but I was never in the Scouts."

"Then an older boy showed me some porno magazines that showed all kinds of sex stuff, oral, anal, regular, gay, you name it. Anyway the boy and I talked a lot about sex and he said I should do whatever felt right to me and not worry about what anyone else thought. I should mention that he later told me he was gay, but he never tried to do anything with me. I saw him with some of the other teenage boys, and even saw him being done by two guys at once back in the woods; one in his mouth and the other fucking him and he was loving every second of it; but they didn't know I was watching. And all of that gave me new ideas."

"He never tried anything with you?"

"Never! He said he wasn't into little boys; just teenagers, preferably with big muscles and large cocks. Told me that nothing was better than a big one in his butt, rubbing his prostate."

"Yeah I know about that gland, Mary found it kind of accidently once and it's real sensitive."

"So that was about two years ago when I was 9 and Nick was 8 and we were learning to kiss girls and not feel antsy about it. Well we'd practice kissing at night, and I found it was just as nice kissing him as kissing a girl and he liked it too so we practiced a lot. And then we tried some other stuff and I sucked him for the first time and he did me and it was really great. So we did that a lot too. Then one night I woke up feeling his dick all hard and pressing against my butt and I remembered about butt sex and used some lotion to lube him and then let him in me and it was really nice. He'd fucked me for a good ten minutes before he woke up and realized what was happening and I just told him to keep going because it felt so good. The next night I did him and he liked it too; so it became a regular with us."

"So do you just do it with him?"

"Initially, and still mostly only him. When I was 10 we got another boy involved and soon there were 4 of us doing it at the camp. But here at home it's just Nick and me. We take care of each other's needs, if you know what I mean, but I've only been with one boy here in town, and his family moved away about 5 months ago. So other than sucking you yesterday, it's just Nick and me. I get lots of action from girls here so it doesn't make any difference to me. I just love sex, and don't care whether it's a girl or a boy as long as both of us want to do it."

"How does he feel about it?"

"Nick? He's a sex maniac! Anyone, anywhere, anytime! That boy wants it all the time and he's really good at it."

"Does he do girls too?"

<laugh> "All he can get! But he prefers boys. Why do you think the two of us are naked at home all the time? Charlie, one of the things we discovered is that when a boy is naked and has a boner in the presence of girls, especially young ones, is that they just HAVE to touch it! They HAVE to feel it and explore it and play with it! Nick's favorite thing is to be around when Sue has friends over and have himself hard for them. Yesterday morning there were some girls over and he slides up beside this cute little 10 year old sitting on a lounge chair by the pool and all but pokes her in the eye with it. She tried to ignore it for a few minutes, then just gets up and takes him inside and he gets a blowjob without a word being spoken."

"Wow! You're kidding right?"

"No, it's happened to me too. My unofficial statistics are that doing something like that results in 50% give you a handjob; another 45% Blowjob about 3-4% fucking if she's active to begin with and around here most are; and the rest just want to feel it and explore it but don't get you off. So the odds are good that you'll get some sex action."

<Laugh> "Guess there's good reason to be naked then!" Charlie exclaimed.

"There sure is as far as I'm concerned!" Max replied, "Besides, I like you naked Charlie and my offer still stands if you ever get interested."

"Oh... that was what we were talking about wasn't it. <sigh> Max other than when... you were sucking me yesterday, the only experience I have with boys... was really bad..."

"How bad? I'm assuming you were forced..."

"Raped is the proper term," Charlie said and his body trembled to emphasize it.

"Shit! I'm really sorry Charlie, I didn't know..."

"It's ok Max, you were really nice yesterday... it was totally different..."

"Can you talk about it? Do you want to?" Max asked concern in his voice.

"I think I can, and I need to tell someone I can trust, and after you just telling me your entire sexual history; I feel I can trust you..."

"You CAN trust me Charlie, I'd never tell anyone unless you gave me permission..."

<sigh> "Four boys all like that Ricky Martin character, bullies, used to beat me up all the time and steal my lunch money. Then about a year ago they got me cornered and made me suck them or get pounded. Then that became a regular, at least one of them every day at school and somewhere else if they could catch me alone. Then about two weeks before we moved here one of them caught me at school and drags me into a janitor's closet and bends me over a table and jerks my pants down and... just jams in it, no loosening me, no lube, just forces it in and fucks me. It hurt so bad Max..." he said with tears streaming down his face, "I had blood in my underpants for two days... then the next week he and one of the other guys do it again in a boy's bathroom, at least that time they used some liquid soap to make it easier, but it still hurt really bad, but I at least didn't bleed that time. Those two did it two more times before we moved. They were too big to fight and I didn't have any way to get away..." he finished openly crying. "No one knows that, not even my sister, I told her it was just part way in me, not that it happened all the way or more than once. Please you can't tell anyone!" he wept.

Max gathered his head against his shoulder and hugged Charlie tightly, his free hand stroking his back as the boy cried against him, his other hand gently massaging the back of his neck while he murmured words into the crying boy's ear, so softly that he couldn't understand them but the sound was soothing. When the boy finally seemed to gather himself together some, he moved Charlie's head back so he could see him and gently stroked his cheek with light finger. "I'm sorry Charlie I don't know what to say to make you feel better. Just know that it doesn't have to be like that and that it won't happen here. I'll make sure you never have go through something like that again."

"You're making me feel better just holding me Max, I know you'd never treat me that way." Charlie replied and then lifted his head and kissed Max, their lips meeting lightly, then firmer, then Charlie put his arms around his neck and pulled Max in hard and put his whole body into the kiss. When they pulled apart, Charlie just whispered, "Thanks Max, you're really a great guy."

Max smiled at him and then lightly kissed him again, then pulled back and brushed his hair back; while his hand stroked down the boy's back, and rested on his behind where he gave it a gently squeeze. "Charlie, you are one great kisser, but unless you want to do more, we should stop, because you're getting me a little excited..."

"You're pretty good yourself Max, but I suppose we should stop. I... I don't want that right now... maybe some other time though, because I really like you and the way you treat me... I... I just have to get past what happened..."

"I understand Charlie and I'll be ready whenever you are. Just know that I'd never hurt you and never force you to do anything... You're too nice a boy to do that to... but I wouldn't do that to anyone..."

After one last long kiss, Charlie moved off of his lap and sat beside him, his arm around the boy's waist and Max's arm around his shoulders as they just sat together enjoying holding each other and talked about other things until the phone rang.

Charlie answered the phone and it was Cindy to give him a report. "Both will be ok, Mom's got a concussion and needed a few stitches. Kathy has a broken leg and arm, but you knew that, she also has two broken ribs, apparently the crash forced her elbow into them, but no serious internal damage. They're going to keep both of them over night and then they can come home."

"Well at least they'll both recover then, I'm glad it wasn't worse..." Charlie replied.

"Charlie are you OK? You sound a little shaky."

"Yeah, I was really worried about Kathy... and your mom of course, I was afraid I'd lose my best friend... but Max is here and helped me get through it... I'm glad he came over," he said as he felt arms wrap around him from behind and a light kiss on the side of his neck. "So Kathy's going to be laid up then?"

"About six weeks or so, they said," <giggle> "Charlie you won't be the only one in diapers, she won't be able to use the bathroom normally with those casts on her arm and leg. <giggle> Maybe you can come over and help change hers! That could be fun, besides you can take your medicine here just as easy as over there and help me take care of her."

"Would your mom be ok with that?"

"Sure why not? You two sure can't get up to anything with her in those casts."

"OK well I'll have to check with my Dad and find out what he wants to do. She sure can't take care of me anymore and you'll be tied up taking care of her... So I'll have to see what he wants. Cindy tell her I love her and I'll be over to see her when she gets home."

"I will Charlie, she perked right up when I whispered your message to her before. Bye Charlie see you tomorrow..."

"Bye Cindy." He said as he hung up the phone, then leaned back against the warm body behind him. "She's going to be ok," he murmured and got a little tighter hug before he was released.

"Glad to hear that Charlie, she's really a nice girl," Max softly told him. "You two deserve each other, you're both nice people." He said then released him with a pat on the back.

"Max are you hungry? I need to eat something before I take my noon pills. How about a sandwich or something?"

"Sounds good, come on I'll help," he replied and the two of them headed for the kitchen.

The two of them were sitting at the table eating and joking when Mary arrived home. "Hey Charlie," he said as she set her bag down, "Uh hi Max, where's Kathy?"

"Well the short version is that she and her Mother went on a shopping trip and Cindy was here earlier. Then her father called and said they'd been in a car accident and that Kathy and her mom were being taken to the hospital and that he was coming to pick her up. Cindy tried to get Carol or Candy to come over but no one answered the phones, so she called Susan's house and Susan wasn't home, so Max offered to come over and stay with me. So he's been here all morning and I'm fine."

"Any problems?"

"No, I was a little emotional worrying about Kathy but Max and I talked and I'm ok now. They'll both be in the hospital overnight, then come home, but Kathy has a broken leg, broken arm and two broken ribs, so she won't be able to be here. I'll need to check with Dad and see what he wants to do."

"I suppose I should drop my lessons so I can be here then," she replied.

"That's not necessary Mary. Max has offered to come over and stay with me and we get along well. He can tell me to take my pills or call if there's a problem just as well as you can."

"Max? Are you comfortable doing this? I mean sometimes he needs a diaper..."

"Not a problem Mary, my brother needed them when he had a spot of bedwetting last year, I can change them, no big deal."

"What about Cindy?"

"She'll be tied up mostly helping Kathy. With two casts she's going to need Cindy more than I will."

"I don't know..."

"You're sure about this?"

"Yes I am, so I'll talk to Dad this evening."

"Max are you ok doing this?"

"No problem for me, I like Charlie and I don't see any reason I can't. I may have to bring my brother over if both my sister and mother are gone, but Nick won't cause any problems and that may only happen once a week or so, probably not that much if my Mom knows what's going on."

"He's that little guy I saw at the pool party? He's what 8?"

"Yeah, that's him, but he's 10, but like Charlie he's small for his age."

"OK then I guess, you two have it worked out..."

"We do," Charlie replied, "Like I said, I'll talk to Dad this evening, I'm sure he'll be ok with it, he just wants someone to be here that can call for help if I need it and make sure I do what I'm supposed to medical wise."

"Well I suppose I need to talk to Max and fill him in on the medical end of it then," she said looking at her brother.

"OK so I'll leave you two to talk about me and my problems. I hate having to listen to me being talked about that way." Charlie said getting up and leaving the room.

Charlie was down in the Rec. Room when his sister came down looking for him. "Did you take your pills?" she asked.

"Yeah I took them before you came home, they don't bother me as much when my stomachs full."

"OK just checking. Charlie I talked to Max and he understands about your infection and what he needs to watch for and what to do if needed. So I don't have a problem with him being here if that's what you want."

"Sis I'd rather have him than some girl I don't know that well. I think I know him better than even his sister; and Carols just not going to be available, she already has her hands full babysitting most days. Max and I get along and we'll be fine."

"I know Charlie and I'm sorry about pestering you about it; I just have trouble trusting boys to take care of you properly. But Max seems different than most boys, he listened carefully about your medical condition and seemed concerned to make sure you don't have problems. I think he can be trusted."

"I think so too Mary, that's why we talked about it before you came home. Max is a nice guy and he took good care of me this morning, especially when I was all emotional over Kathy. I trust him and you should too. Mary, I love it that you worry about me, but you don't need to worry about this. I'll be fine and if not Max can make the phone calls, just like you can. So relax about this and worry about how good you'll do swimming."

That evening, Max came over after Charlie called him and talked to his father. After their meeting, Mr. Miller was satisfied that the boy would look out for his son and it was apparent that the two boys got along together. So Max was hired to replace Kathy effective the next morning.

"Dad would it be ok for Max and I to go visit Kathy every day? She going to be laid up wearing two casts, one on her leg and one on her arm and would probably appreciate a visit?"

"Of course you can Charlie; she's your friend and has done a wonderful job of taking care of you, it's only a short distance to their house and I'm sure she'd appreciate your visits. You need to take those walks we talked about so just stop by when you're out for your walk. Make sure her mother knows you're visiting though."

"I will and thanks Dad. It'll be different having a guy to hang out with, but Max is really a good guy, I like him."

"Yes he seems very responsible for his age and your sister says he was very attentive and concerned about you when she briefed him on your condition. So unless he proves to be unreliable, he'll be the one with you. Now I need to call his mother and brief her on our agreement and that he'll be spending morning here."

"OK thanks Dad."

"You're welcome Charlie, I'm glad you've met another boy you like so that you can have more friends."

That night Mary diapered him and he went to sleep in his bed wrapped in her arms. He woke the next morning to the feel of a soft hand in his diaper. "What?" he moaned his face still buried in his pillow.

"Sorry Charlie, just checking you. Your sister said you woke up wet every morning, and she wasn't kidding, you're soaked," Max softly replied while removing his hand and then patting Charlie's hip. "Come on time to get up and get that wet thing off, then you can take a shower and I'll fix you some breakfast while you're taking your shower."

"Oh hi Max, yeah ok, I'll get up..." blushing at the thought of his wet diaper being checked by another boy; a boy two years younger than himself.

"What would you like to eat?" Max asked.

"Oh... just scrambled eggs and toast, maybe bacon... Max I can fix my own breakfast."

"Well I have to do something while you shower. That is unless you need help taking a shower?"

Blushing again, "No, I can do that myself thank you very much!"

"Just teasing Charlie."

"Yeah I know, I'm just not awake yet."

"So get up and I'll get that wet diaper off and you can wake up in the shower."

"Yeah ok, damn you're as pushy as my sister."

Max took his hand and pulled him up to a sitting position and then sat beside him and wrapped an arm around his shoulders. "Charlie, I'm not normally pushy but I'm hungry too, so I need you to get up so I can fix both of us breakfast."

"So why didn't you just say so?"

"Because it's more fun to do it the other way. Now stand up and I'll take that diaper off and get you see you all naked and sexy."

"So are you going to be naked too when I get down to the kitchen?" Charlie replied with a smirk.

"If you want that, sure no problem as far as I'm concerned."

"Well I haven't gotten so see your hot bod yet so it's only fair."

"Charlie I'm not hot, I'm skinny and not overly endowed, you're much bigger than me down there."

"But yours gets a lot more use than mine," <snicker>.

"That is a problem easily corrected," he snickered back and then gave Charlie a smack on the bare butt and pushed him towards the door, "Go shower, you stink!" Then laughed as Charlie quickly dashed across the room.

When he came into the kitchen he found Max just setting two plates on the table and as promised naked and he stopped to look him over. "Not bad Max, I really like that all over tan," he said as he walked up to him and then looked up at the bigger boy.

"So to answer the questions you haven't asked but want to know," Max said putting his hands on Charlie's shoulders. "It's 4 ¼ inches hard and about half as thick as that nice one of yours. My balls are bigger but that doesn't mean anything. You can look if you want and I won't object to your touching if you're so inclined. I'm no hunk my any means. I've grown six inches in the last year and as a result I'm skinny and awkward at times, because my muscles haven't gotten used to my new height yet. "

"Wish I had that problem." Charlie said a little sadly. "As far as looking and touching, I was just kidding you Max, I like hugging you and well kissing's pretty good, but I'm not ready for doing anything else yet... maybe never..."

"Then we'll hug if you want and kiss if that's what you want and just relax together. I like you Charlie and I'd never do anything to spoil that."

Charlie just stepped forward and hugged against him and then kissed Max on the cheek as their bodies melded together and then kissed his shoulder before stepping back. "Thanks," he said smiling up at the taller boy, then turned away. "So let's let eat before this stuff gets cold!" then sat in a chair and was joined as Max sat beside him, their arms and legs brushing against each other as they ate.

They spent part of the morning in the back yard laying in the sun and both of them enjoyed putting suntan lotion on each other, getting a massage in the process. Their conversations were about just about every topic that came to mind and both of them felt closer as a result. About 10:00 the phone rang and Charlie answered it.

"Hey Charlie, Cindy here, just wanted to let you know that we're home, Kathy's pretty bruised up but seems to be taking it all pretty well. Mom's got a headache and the medicine she's taking is making her sleep a lot. If you want to visit, it's ok whenever you can come by."

"Thanks Cindy, I've got to take my walk yet, so I'll stop by when I'm out. How are you doing with all of this?"

"I'm ok, moving Kathy is a problem, she either has to use a bedpan or a diaper and that's going to be a hassle but otherwise, I'm doing fine."

"She's not that much bigger than you?"

"No she's not, but then she's got probably 40 pounds of plaster between those two casts and it hurts her when I have to move them, so that makes it harder."

"Well if I can help let me know, I'm not all that strong but I can help some anyway."

"Thanks Charlie, so far, we're getting by, she used a bedpan earlier, so right now she's in a diaper and those I can change without much problem. I'll let you know if I need help."

"OK then well I'll see you later when I'm taking my walk. Probably in an hour or so."

"OK Bye."

"I take it Kathy is home?" Max said from behind him.

"Yeah, Cindy said moving her is a problem due to the casts."

"I gathered that from your end of the conversation. So are we taking this walk? You're supposed to do that you know."

"Yeah I know, then it's more pills at noon and fighting an upset stomach with them and feeling tired from them and then Mary comes home and just as I'm feeling halfway decent, it's time to take the evening pills and it all starts over again."

Hugging him from the side, Max ran his fingers up and down the back of his neck getting a little shiver in response. "Charlie I know you hate those pills and the way they make you feel, but you need them and apparently they're working, since Mary tells me you don't have daytime accidents anymore and can feel when you need to go. So you need to take them on schedule to get that infection done with."

"Yeah I know," he replied turning into face the other boy and resting his head against his shoulder. "I just hate feeling this way all the time and I hate that I need diapers every damn night. I don't feel it at night at all and I'm starting to get worried I never will."

"Charlie, Mary said the ones you take at night are twice as strong as the daytime ones, and that they make you sleep soundly, so of course you're not feeling anything at night. Hopefully once the infection is knocked down more they'll change to a different pill and then you'll feel it at night like you do in the daytime."

"God I hope so! I don't see me sleeping in diapers for the rest of my life; I don't even want to think about that..."

"So let's get some clothes on and take your walk then go see Kathy and Cindy and you won't have to think about it so much. Thinking bad things like that doesn't help anyway."

"You're right Max; thanks for being here with me, I just get so depressed at times. Sorry for dumping on you..."

"Charlie, I consider you a friend and that's one of the things friends do for each other. We're there when you don't feel good and try to help." He said patting Charlie on the back.

"Thanks," Charlie said as he gave Max a tighter hug then stepped back, "I consider you a friend too Max; I just can't get over how nice you are to me..."

"Come on let's get dressed and take that walk." Max replied and they moved from the hallway and Charlie went to his room, while Max retrieved his clothes from the kitchen.

Near the end of their walk they approached Kathy's home and Charlie was nervous as he knocked on the door. Cindy answered it almost immediately and smiled when she saw him. "Hi Charlie; Max, Kathy's excited that you're coming to visit."

"Hi Cindy, how's she doing?" Charlie asked.

"In pain and trying to get her mind around what's happened to her. I should warn you Charlie, she's kind of doped up on pain pills and she looks worse than she is. Her face is swollen and bruised and she can't move much. If you touch her be really careful." Charlie nodded that he understood and followed her through the house to Kathy's room.

When he stepped inside, he gasp then tried to get himself under control, Kathy was laying on her bed with her right leg hanging in the air from a metal pole and sling, and her right arm likewise covered in white plaster, she had a bandage around her head and the entire right side of her face was swollen, and black and blue. "Kathy?" he weakly managed to get out, "Kathy? What have they done? Oh baby..." he whimpered as he crossed the room and gingerly sat on the edge of her bed and wanted to hug her but couldn't see any way to do it so he took her left hand in his and held it to his lips and kissed it.

"Charlie, I'm better than I look," she croaked, "Don't cry Charlie, I'll get well again," she said wiping tears from his face as she gave him a small smile, the only movement of her face she could manage.

"Kathy I want to hug you but I know I can't because it would hurt you. Can I kiss you without hurting you?"

"Left Cheek," she said with a chuckle, then winced in pain the laugh had caused. "Ribs" she said after the grimace. Charlie leaned over her and gently kissed her left cheek and stroked it with his fingers then returned to sitting on the edge of the bed. "I've been so worried about you Kathy... will you really be alright again? You must be hurting."

"Only when I move or laugh," she replied, "They've got me all doped up on pain killers and mostly they do the job. But I'll be ok. The arm and leg were clean breaks and my ribs will be better soon, and I bumped my head pretty good when they hit us. That will be back to normal in a few days, once the swelling goes down. I know I look pretty bad but it could have been a lot worse. I never saw the other car until it was like 3 feet from my car door and never had a chance to even react. Just Bang and then crunching metal sounds. I woke up in the ambulance and managed to tell them to call my dad and give them the number."

"Kathy is there anything I can do to help you or make you feel better? I feel so helpless..."

"Not really, just come and visit, I'm bored to death stuck here in this bed." <giggle> "Oh shouldn't have done that. Lean over here a minute," she asked and he did, then she whispered, "You can come help change my diapers and maybe finger me into feeling better."

Charlie blushed bright red, but nodded that he would do just that.

"Max, good to see you," she said looking over Charlie's shoulder where the other boy was standing by the door. "Are you taking care of Charlie today?"

"Yeah Kathy, I came over yesterday after your dad called Cindy and well Mr. Miller hired me to replace you since you're unable to look after him and Cindy will need to help you. I didn't mean to take you job but someone needed to help Charlie and well we get along together so I ended up doing it."

"That's ok Max I know you'll take good care of him, you're a nice boy and care about people. It'll probably be good for Charlie to have another boy around. Just make sure he visits me ok?"

"No problem on that one; he'd be over here 24/7 if he could. He loves you Kathy, but I think you know that."

"Hey you two, I'm right here you know," Charlie said looking sternly at them. "I can tell her how much I love her myself Max; and I do love you" he said, looking back at her.

"Sorry Charlie," both murmured. But she was smiling at him and gave his hand a squeeze. "I love you too Charlie and I know Max will take good care of you."

"Kathy time for another pain pill," Cindy announced from the doorway.

"OK, well I guess that ends our visit Charlie, those suckers are really high powered and it'll knock me out in about 10 minutes and I'll sleep a couple of hours," Kathy told him. "Charlie I'm really glad you stopped by and please come visit me? I love my sister, but I need to see you too."

"I will Kathy," he said leaning in and lightly kissing her again before standing and patting her hand, before putting it carefully back on the bed and moving so Cindy could give her the pill. "Get well soon Kathy, I miss you," he said with tears welling in his eyes as he turned then stopped and hugged Cindy. "Take good care of her and call me if there's anything I can do to help." He softly said, then left the room.

"He's taking this really hard," Cindy said after he left.

"Yeah, his heart's breaking..." Kathy replied.

"Well at least he's not alone. Max will take care of him, he's a good guy." Cindy replied as she took the water glass back from her sister.

Outside, Max wrapped an arm around him as they walked. "She's really hurting Max, every breath she took hurt her and there's nothing I can do. All those bruises and broken bones..."

"Just be her friend and visit Charlie, she'll get through this, she really perked up when she saw you; just seeing you is good medicine for her." He replied rubbing Charlie's back as they walked.

"Max thanks for being here with me, just you being here really helps." Charlie softly said, "This is all so hard to deal with and you've been so supportive. Kathy's right you're a good guy." He continued as they entered the house, then stopped and hugged his new friend.

"I just did what I could Charlie, you're a good guy too and I had to help where I could." He replied while returning the hug. "That had to be tough seeing your best friend like that, I don't know I could have handled it as well as you did."

"Did I have any choice? I had to try and be brave for her; what else could I do?"

"Not much when you can hardly touch her without causing pain. You did good though."

"Well I need to eat and take some of my own pills," Charlie replied, stepping back, then drink that shit to settle my stomach and just crash for a couple of hours. God I hate that medicine."

"OK then let's fix you some lunch," Max said and guided him to the kitchen and fixed soup and grilled cheese sandwiches for them, while Charlie just sat at the table in a daze and mechanically ate his lunch then took his medicine. Max had just finished putting him to bed, when Mary arrived home.

"How's Charlie?" she asked when he came downstairs.

"Emotionally drained and tired right now Mary. We just visited Kathy before lunch and I could tell he was devastated by how she looks and how much pain she's suffering. He wanted so much to help her but could barely touch her without causing her pain. He's taking it all pretty hard. He took his medicine and he's sleeping right now."

"I figured that would happen, he loves her so much."

"Mary, isn't there some other medicine he can take? He really hates how that stuff affects him and how it makes him feel. After every dose, he's so tired and gets really emotional over even the smallest things. I can deal with the mood swings, but I hate seeing him feel bad like that and I know the medicine is amplifying it."

"There are other medicines Max but the doctor said they're not as good and would take much longer to deal with the infection. It's better to deal it and the side effects, using this stuff and get it over with quicker and him back to normal."

"Mary, the other thing he said was he was worried that the night wetting wouldn't stop. I told him what you said about the night medicine being stronger and causing him not to feel it; but he's really worried about that."

"It is stronger Max almost twice as strong, but we really don't know if he has permanent damage and won't until the infection is gone and the medicine completely out of his system. Worst case as of now is like he is now in the daytime. Feeling it in the daytime and having to go frequently and maybe diapers at night."

Upstairs, Charlie lay on his bed listening to their conversation coming up through the heating duct and just turned over and cried himself back to sleep.

Two hours later, Mary went up and woke him, stroking his back and when he woke, he jumped up and ran for the bathroom. "Thanks for waking me Mary, that was close," he said blushing as he returned.

"You ok there Charlie, I know you're worried about Kathy?"

"Yeah I'm ok, but she's hurt so bad Mary, it was just so hard to even see her that way."

"I know it's hard Charlie, but she needs to see you, just you being here will help her heal. She loves you Charlie and you need to let her know you love her too every day, to keep her spirits up."

"I know Mary and I'll do whatever I can to help her. That's all I can do..."

"So how are you and Max getting along?"

"Good Mary. I'm an emotional mess I know that, I'm so moody and have these big swings in my emotions, but he's right there when I need him to be and doesn't seem to mind having to hold me or talking me through them. He's really a nice guy Mary, you could do a lot worse than getting together with him as a boyfriend."

"So now you're looking for boyfriends for me?"

"No of course not. I'm just saying he's nice and maybe you should take a good look at him, he's got potential and wouldn't mistreat you. He's smart and not bad looking and well I just think you two would be good together."

"Ok Charlie, I'll take a good look at him in that regard." She said smiling widely at him. "If he's anything like my brother, he just might make the grade."

"He's very open Mary, I like him and I think you will too. Besides, he's young enough that if you don't like something, you've got lots of time to mold him the way you want." He replied grinning back at her.

"Yeah and he looks good naked too," she said with a chuckle, "And since he and Sue are doing it regularly, he knows what he's doing to please a girl. So Charlie are you going to fuck him? Sue says he's active with his brother and she loves watching them. If you do, then maybe you could give me a better report."

"Other than his brother and sister, he doesn't do that Mary, he's only done a couple of other boys at their camp last summer and only a couple of times. He and I've talked about that and he and Nick just kind of grew up together, playing around. He's offered to get to get together with me if I wanted, but he doesn't push for it; just says he'd like to try it. Really Mary I don't need to fuck him to make a recommendation. He's very sensitive and a nice guy who cares about how people feel. You could do a lot worse."

"I'm just teasing Charlie, you don't really need to do that, unless you want to. I like Max too after talking to him. He IS nice and he's really concerned about you; so that makes him a winner in my book right there. So yes I'll take a closer look."

"Ok so what's for dinner? I'm hungry all ready and it's not even dinner time yet?"

"I don't know, I haven't figured that out yet, but come on and I'll fix you something. It's good to hear that your appetite is perking up. You need to eat more if you want to grow, you're too slim for the height you are now, let alone if you grow some."

"It's not that at all it's just that I'm far enough beyond that last dose of medicine that I want to get something in me, before I have to take more of that crap and have an upset stomach again."

Following an uneventful evening, Charlie went to bed, diapered as usual and spent the night wrapped around his sister's firm body. As usual he woke to the feel of a hand in his diaper, and just groaned, his face buried in his pillow. "Yeah I know time to get up and I'm soaked again." He grumbled.

"Yes it is and yes you are," came the reply in a boy's voice.

"What? Who?" he replied startled and rolled onto his back. "Who are you?" he asked when he saw the voice belonged to a small dark haired boy with green eyes and a big grin on his face.

"Nicholas Anthony Hudson, at your service," the boy replied bowing theatrically; it was then that he noticed that the boy was naked. "But you can call me Nick!" he finished with a smile.

"Oh, Max's brother. Uh... where's Max?"

"Downstairs fixing breakfast, he said to wake you up and help get that wet diaper off, then for you to come down after your shower."

"Sorry guess I'm being rude, Hello Nick, nice to meet you and all that."

<giggle> "That's ok Charlie, I'm not too swift when someone wakes me up either, but yeah it's nice to finally meet 'The Charlie' I've been hearing so much about."

"God don't even start on that, those girls are making this such a big deal," he said sitting up and rubbing his eyes, then stood and Nick immediately removed his diaper leaving him standing there naked.

"This thing is really heavy, you must have peed a couple of times at least," the boy observed.

"Yeah, that's usual these days, I don't feel it at all at night, the medicine they give me just knocks me out and I rarely wake up during the night."

"That sucks," he said as the dropped the used diaper into a covered trashcan. "But it's just at night right, no daytime accidents?"

"None recently, none since last week anyway."

"Well that sounds promising, like your getting well. Max says you have the same kind of infection that Robert had; but he ended up with either a tube in his dick or diapered all the time; so you must be getting better. That's good."

"Better than I was, I went a few weeks where I wasn't feeling anything at all and absolutely no control day or night. Really had me scared I'd never get better, it just kept getting worse all the time."

"Like I said, sounds like you're getting better. So go take your shower and I'll see you downstairs with my brother." The boy replied and patted Charlie on the arm.

"Hey wait a second. You're 10 right? But you're smaller than me."

"Yeah and you're 13 and the size that I SHOULD be. We're both undersized for our ages and I hate being this size. People constantly treat me like I'm about 7 years old."

"Tell me about it, it sucks I get that shit all the time... well I'll see you in a few minutes," Charlie responded and went to take his shower.

When he arrived in the kitchen, he found Max and Nick sitting at the table digging into eggs, potatoes, toast and bacon and a steaming plate was waiting for him. "Morning Max, this looks really good."

"Hi Charlie, sorry we didn't wait for you, but it was ready and well I was hungry." Max replied.

"So Nick here is your 'Sex Maniac' brother you told me about?" Charlie asked grinning and glanced at the small boy who immediately turned bright red.

"Me? The Sex maniac? He said that? Oh.. you'll pay for that Max..." and quickly stood and plopped his behind on his brother's lap and then wiggled, rubbing his bare butt on Max's crotch, then resumed eating his breakfast as if nothing was unusual. Max just sat there flabbergasted, trying to figure out how he was going to get food from his plate to his mouth with his brother in the way. Then just lifted Nick and put him on his feet beside him.

"You can sit on my lap AFTER I finish my breakfast," he directed sternly, then swatted the laughing boy's behind. Nick just went back to his chair looking smug that he'd flustered his brother.

After that, breakfast went quickly and all three boys joined in cleaning up the kitchen when they were done. "So what are we doing today?" Charlie asked, looking out the window and seeing that it was raining. "Sure can't lay out sunbathing today."

"Got any games?" Nick asked.

"Yeah, there's a ping pong table downstairs and I've got a PS2 so we could play some electronic games if you want, only problem is both are two person at a time games.

"So we'll just alternate. Winner takes on the next player..." Max replied. "Charlie, you didn't take your pills when you ate, so you need to do that..."

"Yeah I know, I was putting it off... You know how much I hate the way they make me feel..."

"But you need to take them." Max replied handing him the pills and a glass of water.

"OK here goes, and another good breakfast ruined," Charlie replied as he downed them then took a big spoon full of Maalox. "God I hate that shit, tastes like chalk, I need to get more of that pink stuff."

"So on to the games," Nick replied and Charlie led them down to the Rec. Room.
