Just A Number..

"When I left he was out cold..." Zac whispered, throat still hurting. "Memaw kicked him in the head to see if it'd make him remember... I don't know if it worked though..." Zac sighed. He wanted Quincy and his momma...

"Well baby im sorry....."
He walked to his house and opened the door, carring Zac to his bed.

"I'm the one who's gotta be sorry Quincy.... and I am. I love you." He buried his head in the pillow on the bed.

'I love you too baby....So much." He laid down and pulled Zac to his chest. He hated this for him....he rreally did.

Zac massaged his throat as he laid there.
He always was so comfortable in Quincy's arms, so safe. But he felt like he was going to throw up.... he couldn't sleep.

"Sweetheart is there anything that might make you feel better?"
He could tell he wasnt helping.

Zac shook his head slowly.
"M-maybe momma but he don't know who I am..."

Quincy growled as someone knocked on his door.
"Its fucking six in the damn moning." He grumbled as he got up and went to his door, leaving Zac alone in his room.
He came back grinning, sitting beside Zac.
"I got something for you."

"hmm?" Zac murmured, looking up at him curiously

Kevin came rolling into the room.
"I gave him his chair back."
Kevin grinned at him.
"Hey baby..."
Quincy smiled, nodding his head.

Zac beamed.
"Momma!" He exclaimed hoarsely. "Y-you remember?"

"Yes I do baby I-Im so sorry." He opened his arms for Zac.
Quincy had said Zac was hurt...

And Zac was. His throat was killing him. It was still bleeding and every now and then he'd have to spit out a bit of blood. He stood and walked to the bathroom, he spit out some of the red liquid before hugging his mother tightly. His throat was bruised on the inside too...

"Zac bay whats wrong?" Kevin pulled him into his lap, looking his throat over.
"Quincy what in the fuck did you do!?"

"Momma, Quincy didn't do anything... it was my own fault." Zac sighed and laid his forehead on Kevin's shoulder, taking Quincy's hand.

"Oh Zac baby what did you do?" He looked at Quincy, saying he was sorry with his eyes as he held his baby.

Zac swallowed.
"Isuckedsomeguysdickformoney...." He said very quickly so his words ran together.

Kevin gave him a look.
"You gave head for money?"
He brushed some hair from Zac's face.

Zac gulped with a wince and nodded, looking down, ashamed and scared of how his mother would react.

"Baby, why did you need to do that for money? Im sure your father had it...You didn't need to do that.."
Kevin was pissed.

"I was trying to pay back Quincy and... I was upset and... its a long story. So, short version. I was stupid, some guy offered me money to give him head. I said yes but then I ffelt bad so I told the guy to stop. He wouldn't. Quincy found us and killed him.."

Kevin smiled at Quincy.
"Thank you."
Kevin made Zac look at him.
"You make a mistake but dont let it happen again. You dont take those offers for ANY reason."

Zac nodded.
"I won't momma... trust me." He hugged his mother tight and whispered in his ear. He didn't really want Quincy to hear..
"Momma... that was my first time giving head... I-I wanted it to be with Quincy." He buried his head in his mother's shoulder.

Kevin hugged him tightly, kissing his temple.
"I know that....I know baby.....It makes it that much worse..."
He already knew that, knew That Zac wanted Quincy to be his first time too..."

Zac kissed his mother's cheek.
"A-are you okay momma?"
