Some say love, it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed. Some say love it is a hunger, an endless aching need. I say love, it is a flower, and you its only seed.&amp;quot; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Luke Snyder....the love of my life. The other half that makes me complete as a whole. The one reason my heart still beats. The truth is....&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;It was all an accident. A complete and utter accident. Looking back, I really hadn&amp;#39;t planned on any of it happening. In fact, I can honestly say that I hadn&amp;#39;t even planned on falling in love with him. It was an accidental fall. Or maybe it was love at first sight. Either way, it was not on purpose (though I doubt that falling is ever on purpose). When I finally realized I had fallen....I wasn&amp;#39;t surprised at all. There was just something really special about him, that always kept me coming back for more. And I couldn&amp;#39;t help but wonder if I was the ONLY person in the world who could see just how special he was. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Back then, I couldn&amp;#39;t get Luke out of my head, no matter how hard I tried, and I couldn&amp;#39;t leave him alone. Maybe it had something to do with the &amp;quot;connection&amp;quot; I felt the moment we first met. Right from that moment, there were uncontrollable emotions surging through me. The overwhelming sense to protect him, and the longing to see him happy and smiling....the longing to be the single source of his joy. Looking back, I&amp;#39;ve realized that maybe....just maybe....it was all just meant to happen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description></item><item><title>Happy One Year Anniversary!!!</title><link>http://www.lukeandnoahfans.com/page/Happy+One+Year+Anniversary%21%21%21</link><author>twins1729</author><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.lukeandnoahfans.com/page/Happy+One+Year+Anniversary%21%21%21</guid><pubDate>Wed, 20 Aug 2008 09:39:47 CDT</pubDate><description>&lt;i&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;One Year Ago...&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;5&quot;&gt;This site was created by &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lukeandnoahfans.com/account/twins1729&quot;

I will take this old coot up to the main house and see what I can get myself into.&amp;quot; Marcus scoffs &amp;quot;A pile of dishes that you were supposed to take care of last night is all you&amp;#39;ll be &amp;quot;getting into&amp;quot; sir.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke and Noah look on the old couple with laughter and joy in their minds. To still be together and obviously very much in love after so many years. Luke thought to himself, &amp;quot;I only hope that will be Noah and I.&amp;quot; Luke takes Noah&amp;#39;s hand and they walk over to the front door. Both of them reach for the lock having been given their own set of keys. &amp;quot;Oh anxious to get in are we?&amp;quot; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah says with a huge grin on his face. &amp;quot;I should say the same for you. Whatsorted thoughts are running around in that mind of yours Noah?&amp;quot; Luke playfully nudges Noah out of the way with his hip and unlocks the door. &amp;quot;After you, please I insist.&amp;quot; Luke motions for Noah to enter. As he walks through Luke looks on in amazement. &amp;quot;That&amp;#39;s mine! I am so getting some of that he had better watch out!&amp;quot; he gives an ecstatic smile and follows Noah inside and closes the door behind him.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;So...&amp;quot; Noah says his head spinning around the living room. &amp;quot;Why don&amp;rsquo;t we get started unloading. The faster we get it all out the sooner we can enjoy our new place.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke grabs Noah by the back of his head and yanks him forward slamming his lips hard against his own. Noah taking a moment to catch on begins kissing Luke back. Tongues swirling around like ribbons in the wind. Luke wraps his arm around Noah&amp;#39;s waist and pulls him in grabbing a handful of Noah&amp;#39;s shirt. Their kiss is strong and forceful. Luke finally breaks the kiss and steps back. &amp;quot;There! Now I can go ahead and start unloading beat you outside.&amp;quot; With that Luke heads out to the truck. Leaving a breathless weak kneed Noah standing there mouth wide open with a look of awe on his face.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke grabbed a box from the truck, triumphant. *Lets see how fast i can get him to unpack now* He chuckled to himself, and walked back to the cottage as quickly as he could with the box in his hands. The plan was to simply move everything from the truck to the first room he could find, and then he and Noah could make up for lost time. *Speaking of Noah...* Luke put the box down inside the front door, and looked around. &amp;quot;Noah?&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;Right behind you.&amp;quot; Noah walked past him with a box that said &amp;quot;Kitchen&amp;quot; and Luke followed him in. &amp;quot;Where did you come from?&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah put the box on the counter, and smiled at Luke as he started walking back to the truck, Luke hot on his heels. &amp;quot;I went around the side. There&amp;#39;s a sliding door from the living room, and i wanted to see if i could beat you.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;You seem awfully confident there, Mayer. Care to make a wager?&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;Sure.&amp;quot; Noah took a step towards Luke, standing straight, so he was looking down at him. &amp;quot;Whoever unloads the last box wins. And the loser has to unpack.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke smirked, &amp;quot;You&amp;#39;re on.&amp;quot; He started to turn away when Noah grabbed his arm and pulled him back. &amp;quot;What?&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;We have to seal the deal.&amp;quot; And with that, he walked them back 2 steps, until Luke&amp;#39;s back was up against the wall, and dove down to Luke&amp;#39;s mouth. Luke was struck with the force of the wall and the kiss at the same time, and every thought in his head disappeared. His hands grabbed for Noah, pulling him closer, but Noah pulled back, smiling mischievously at Luke&amp;#39;s bewildered state. &amp;quot;That&amp;#39;s for earlier. Now hurry up Snyder, or you&amp;#39;re gonna lose.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah laughed as he jogged back to the truck, Luke taking a few breaths to calm himself before running after him. &amp;quot;Cheater!&amp;quot; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah grabbed another box as he passed Luke on the way to the front door. &amp;quot;Oh come on now what&amp;#39;s fair is fair. I do believe you started it.&amp;quot; He reaches the front room and places a box labeled &amp;quot;Linens&amp;quot; on the couch. He quickly about faces and runs back outside. Luke had two boxes and was going rather quickly. Noah raised his brow and picked up his pace. &amp;quot;Oh so you are trying to be he-man now I see.&amp;quot; He says as Luke passes him staggering a bit from the weight of the two boxes. &amp;quot;No I am not He-Man I am THEE Man.&amp;quot; Luke calls back to Noah as he reaches the front door.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This was it Noah and Luke return to the truck and see there are two final boxes. They shoot one another a look and then grab a box each. It is a race to the finish. Luke takes off quickly Noah just a hair behind when all of the sudden Luke trips causing him to lose balance but not fall. Noah takes the lead and he shoots he SCORES!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah says breathless but celebratory &amp;quot;I Win! Looks like I get to watch you unpack.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke catches up and tosses the last box on the floor. &amp;quot;Yeah well I don&amp;rsquo;t know if I will have any strength left for &amp;quot;tonight&amp;quot; if I am left to unpack all by my lonesome.&amp;quot; Noah looks up as if to suggest he is thinking about it. &amp;quot;Well we cant have that now, I suppose since you did pack the truck alone this morning the least I can do is help unpack. Besides this is supposed to be part of what makes moving out so great. Making it Home.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;They both give a nod and put their arms around each others shoulders.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;Lets get started&amp;quot; Luke says, and they both got to work, dividing the boxes between them so that the workload was equal. Noah started in the kitchen, wanting to at least make sure they had plates and cutlery sorted for dinner that evening. Luke decided to start moving his clothes into the closet. He grabbed his and Noah&amp;#39;s suitcases into the master bedroom, and forced himself to keep singing in his head to distract himself from the presence of the bed.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah finished unpacking, and did a quick spot check reminder of where he had put everything. He stepped out of the kitchen and walked back in, hoping that he&amp;#39;d placed the few things he knew Luke would look for in the most obvious and accessible places. When he was happy with that, he thought about what he should unpack next. &amp;#39;Maybe i&amp;#39;ll see how Luke&amp;#39;s doing.&amp;#39;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Walking to the bedroom, he kept looking around, reminding himself that this was home now. He still couldn&amp;#39;t believe it. He reached the bedroom and found Luke looking at the cupboard, impressed with his own efforts. He saw Noah in the corner of his eye and smiled, &amp;quot;Ta da. All done.&amp;quot; Noah smiled and walked into the room further to see. He looked at Luke with an eyebrow raised.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;And just where exactly are my clothes meant to go?&amp;quot; The closet was packed full with Luke&amp;#39;s many shirts. It was a sea of stripes. Luke looked mildly indignant. &amp;quot;Your clothes are in there.&amp;quot; He reached in and forced the last of his shirts away from the edge, to reveal Noah&amp;#39;s Java work shirt.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah laughed. &amp;quot;It&amp;#39;s a good thing i prefer using drawers.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke smiled at him sweetly, &amp;quot;I know. That&amp;#39;s why i did this.&amp;quot; He walked over and opened the top and second drawers, Noah&amp;#39;s clothes stacked neatly inside. &amp;quot;See? I&amp;#39;m not the worst boyfriend in the world.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;No, you&amp;#39;re not.&amp;quot; Noah walked up to him and let his hands settle on Luke&amp;#39;s waist. They smiled at each other for a moment, and Noah licked his lips, then realized that they were letting themselves become distracted. &amp;quot;We really have to hurry up and finish unpacking. If we keep going like this, it&amp;#39;ll never get done.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;I know.&amp;quot; Neither of them moved, the magnetism too strong to fight. Finally Luke tore his eyes away from Noah&amp;#39;s and forced himself to take a step back. Looking at the floor, because he knew looking at Noah would break his resistance, he turned and pushed the drawers back in. &amp;quot;So... I&amp;#39;m going to go find something else to unpack.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;Me too.&amp;quot; They rushed out of the room.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah decided he would try and rearrange the living room. Since they truly didn&amp;rsquo;t have much to unpack he wanted to see if he could make the room feel more like it was theirs. He walked over to the couch and stood there with his hands on his hips. Thinking of where to move the piece of furniture. Luke walks in and opens a box of cd&amp;#39;s. He decides to set the stereo up so that they could listen to some music while they finished unpacking. Once he was done setting up he pulls out their 3 Doors Down cd and puts it in. &amp;quot;I dream about this sixteen days away, now your here and my head lies.&amp;quot; the lyrics begin and Luke starts putting their cd&amp;#39;s in the cd rack. &amp;quot;Besides your body pillowed under mine, you were poison spinning round my mind.&amp;quot; The lyrics continued. Luke stops for a moment &amp;quot;Perhaps I should put in something a little less dramatic&amp;quot; he thinks to himself. &amp;quot;I don&amp;rsquo;t want to lose the mood&amp;quot;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He kneels down and searches through the cd&amp;#39;s. He pulls out a mixed cd and decides to place it in and push play. As the music begins he continues putting the remainder of the cds up. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description></item><item><title>Nukelover</title><link>http://www.lukeandnoahfans.com/page/Nukelover</link><author>Nukelover</author><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.lukeandnoahfans.com/page/Nukelover</guid><pubDate>Wed, 20 Aug 2008 08:05:08 CDT</pubDate><description>&lt;u&gt;&lt;i&gt;Author:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/u&gt; Nukelover&lt;u&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Biography:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/u&gt; I&amp;#39;m not a writer, but I enjoy the characters of Luke and Noah. I try to take what is given on the show and build from there. I like to use the show as inspiration, but build my own characters within the stories. I try to entertain and yet still retain the essence of the characters. Most of my stories are about Luke and Noah, but some may concentrate on other characters and Luke and Noah are just involved in the story. I hope you enjoy my stories.&lt;u&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Stories:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;ul&gt;  &lt;li&gt;  &lt;b&gt;Indian Summer - &lt;/b&gt;Luke is still in his wheelchair.

He was so adorable and he was all his. &amp;quot;Well, after last night, you deserve to sleep in.&amp;quot;   &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke got up and pulled on his sweats and grabbed a t-shirt before heading into the living room.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Amy was sitting at the table, eating a bowl of cereal and leafing through a magazine. &amp;quot;Hey Amy.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Amy looked up briefly. &amp;quot;Hey Luke. You guys really slept in. It&amp;#39;s almost 10.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke smiled to himself. He and Noah had heard Amy come in just before midnight, as they continued their late night escapades, that had traveled throughout the apartment. &amp;quot;We were really tired last night.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Amy continued to look at her magazine. &amp;quot;What did you guys do?&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke went to the kitchen and got some orange juice. &amp;quot;Not much. Just stayed in and watched a movie. How was yours?&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Amy smiled. &amp;quot;It was awesome. Rick and I are both into the Mummy movies and this one didn&amp;#39;t disappoint.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke grabbed a bowl. &amp;quot;That&amp;#39;s good and your friend&amp;#39;s house? Were there a lot of people there?&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Amy got up to put her bowl in the sink. &amp;quot;Just three couples. Some friends of Rick from the basketball team and their girlfriends.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke knew what Noah would ask next. &amp;quot;Were their parents there?&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Amy nodded. &amp;quot;Yeah they were. I don&amp;#39;t know about you guys. If Rick and I wanted to do it, we could do it anywhere. He does have a car.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke knew what Amy was saying was true, but Noah would feel better anyway. &amp;quot;I know. Well, I&amp;#39;m glad you had a good time.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Amy turned to go to her room. She kicked something on the floor and bent down to pick it up. &amp;quot;Eww, who left a sock in the kitchen.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke bit his lip, as he thought about he and Noah&amp;#39;s romp on the island. He quickly straightened his face as Amy turned around. &amp;quot;It&amp;#39;s probably mine or Noah&amp;#39;s. I did laundry last night. I had one that didn&amp;#39;t have a match. I must have dropped it on the way down to the laundry room.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Amy dropped the sock in Luke&amp;#39;s hand and smiled, as she turned back towards her room. &amp;quot;Wow, you guys really know how to spend a Saturday night. Some old movie and laundry.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke smiled down at the sock. &amp;quot;Yeah we do.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;//////////////////////////////////////////////////// &lt;br&gt;Luke and Lucinda came into Java. Luke smiled as he waved at Noah behind the counter. Lucinda had a stern look on her face, as they made their way to the table. &amp;quot;Darling, the organization doesn&amp;#39;t just pay for itself. You have to have other sponsors to help the fund grow, plus benefits. Otherwise the money will dry up in no time.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke pulled out the chair for his grandmother before he sat down next to her. &amp;quot;... but we just had that benefit a month ago.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Lucinda nodded. &amp;quot;I know, but that was just the start. We have to keep it going. It takes years before it will be self-sufficient and in this economy it will take longer than it would in prosperous times.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke frowned at his grandmother. &amp;quot;Then what do you think we should do?&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Lucinda opened her purse and pulled out a piece of paper, as Noah came walking over. &amp;quot;Hey guys. What&amp;#39;s going on?&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Lucinda looked up at Noah. &amp;quot;Noah Darling, I&amp;#39;m so glad you came over. You&amp;#39;re involved in this too and I know that Luke values your opinion.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah pulled out a seat and sat down. &amp;quot;I&amp;#39;m on a break right now. What do you need me to do?&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Lucinda opened the paper and held it out for the boys to see. &amp;quot;Well, a portion of the funds from Damian were used to set up the foundation. Then there are the ones that have already been slotted for certain families, but we still have some funds left, plus the proceeds from the benefit. I propose that we invest most of the money in some profit ventures in order to help fund the daily operations. Here is a list of possible companies.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah looked at the list. &amp;quot;Have your lawyers checked out these companies?&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Lucinda nodded. &amp;quot;Oh yes darling. Most of them are well established and are involved in my personal operations as well. There are a few which are newer. Those can be a little riskier, but would probably have more of a profit margin.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke looked at the paper. &amp;quot;Grandma, neither Noah or I are business majors. Can&amp;#39;t you just decide for us?&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Lucinda shook her head. &amp;quot;This is your money Luke. You have to be involved in it. You can&amp;#39;t just turn it over to someone and expect them to handle it. If something goes wrong. You will still be the one held accountable.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah nodded. &amp;quot;Besides. You were the one that decided to do the nonprofit organization and you said that it would be a chance for us to work together. You can&amp;#39;t just be responsible for writing speeches and press releases. You have to be part of the daily activities.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke smiled. That&amp;#39;s why we spend time with the recipients. I&amp;#39;d rather someone else do all the dirty work.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Lucinda folded up the paper and gave it to Luke. &amp;quot;There is a summary of all the companies. Why don&amp;#39;t you go on the Internet and get a feel for them on your own. Decide between 3 or 4 of them and then I will arrange a meeting and we can go over what we know about them.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke nodded. &amp;quot;Okay Grandma.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Lucinda got up. &amp;quot;Good, good Darling. You will feel a lot better if you participate in the different aspects. It will mean even more to you that way and it will make you feel good.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke and Noah watched Lucinda as she left. Noah looked at the paper and Luke rubbed his hand up and down on Noah&amp;#39;s arm. &amp;quot;I know what will make me feel good.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah smiled shyly at Luke. &amp;quot;Luke this is serious. A lot of children are depending on you.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke nodded. &amp;quot;I know. I just really didn&amp;#39;t realize how much work it was going to be.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah put down the paper and put his hand on Luke&amp;#39;s. &amp;quot;...but it&amp;#39;s good work. Work that is making a difference in people&amp;#39;s lives. Just like I wanted to do.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke smiled. &amp;quot;I know. I said that I&amp;#39;m doing this for you, but I&amp;#39;m doing it for me too. Those kids are so special and to think that they might not be able to get the surgery or medicine they need, or their parents might lose their jobs, because they want to be at the hospital with them, just breaks my heart.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah nodded &amp;quot;...and they are so grateful and happy. We are really making a difference.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke nodded. &amp;quot;Yeah we are. Well, I guess we should go over the list as soon as possible and get back to my grandma.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah got up. &amp;quot;I have to get back to work, but I&amp;#39;ll be home at around 6. We can go over them tonight.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke put the paper in his pocket. &amp;quot;Okay, I&amp;#39;ll see you then.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke kissed Noah on the cheek on his way out of the coffee shop.&lt;br&gt;///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////&lt;br&gt;Winston walked into Damian&amp;#39;s home. He looked around. &amp;quot;It looks like you have done quite well for yourself.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Damian walked over to the bar. &amp;quot;This is what happens when you invest your money wisely and what I want for my son. Would you like a drink?&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Winston walked over to Damian. &amp;quot;Well, we were never this well off, but the army was good to us. I just wanted my son to be a good man and respectful. Not a ...&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Damian held up the drink for Winston. &amp;quot;You don&amp;#39;t have to say it. It pains me to think about what my son has become too...and to think that his mother and that family condone it.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Winston took a sip of his drink. &amp;quot;Well, I don&amp;#39;t see what we can really do about it. They are together and are supported by the people around them.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Damian smiled his sinister smile. &amp;quot;We just need the right kind of leverage.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Winston snarled. &amp;quot;Leverage? I don&amp;#39;t know if I care anymore. My son has made it known that he doesn&amp;#39;t believe in any of the things I value. If it was up to him, I would have never made it out of the county.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Damian frowned at Winston. &amp;quot;Are you a wanted man?&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Winston leaned back on Damian&amp;#39;s sofa and ran his hand over the material. &amp;quot;Very nice. I was, but nothing that my death couldn&amp;#39;t take care of.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Damian sat in a chair and leaned forward. &amp;quot;So, Noah thinks that you are dead. That will add to the element of surprise.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Winston shook his head. &amp;quot;I&amp;#39;m not going back to the states.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Damian put his glass on the table. &amp;quot;...but you have to, or Noah won&amp;#39;t give up on Luke. We have to hit them both at the same time.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Winston finished his drink. &amp;quot;You&amp;#39;re under the assumption that my son wants something to do with me. I told you he betrayed me.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Damian took both of their glasses and went over to fill them again. &amp;quot;All sons want and need the approval of their father. Luke said he didn&amp;#39;t want any part of me or my money, but when I sent it, he took it.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Winston took the drink from Damian. &amp;quot;Yeah. Who turns down money when it&amp;#39;s thrown at him.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Damian sat down again. &amp;quot;No. He said he wanted no part of me and that I didn&amp;#39;t exist to him. He took the money, because he wants to believe in me. Your son wants to believe in you too.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Winston thought back to his and Noah&amp;#39;s conversation on the boat, before the police showed up. &amp;quot;When I told him that I still loved him, he did soften.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Damian nodded and took a sip. &amp;quot;See. He wants you to be a part of his life, like Luke wants me to be part of his. We just have to make them think that we want the same thing and get them away from the Snyders and each other.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Winston leaned forward. &amp;quot;I&amp;#39;d love to just kill them all. That would take care of the problem.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Damian frowned, obviously Winston Mayer had a short fuse. He hoped that it wouldn&amp;#39;t be a problem, but he had to trust him. He needed him to get Noah out of the way. &amp;quot;No that would never do. Finesse is what we need. We both need to find a weak point for them. You&amp;#39;re dead so they won&amp;#39;t expect anything from you. I just need to find a way into Luciano&amp;#39;s life that he won&amp;#39;t expect. Then we both need some trust and some leverage.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Winston raised his glass. &amp;quot;Well, here&amp;#39;s to leverage.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Damian sipped his drink. &amp;quot;Yes. This will take some planning, but first we need to find their weak point. The place of least resistance.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;//////////////////////////////////////////////&lt;br&gt;To be continued...&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lukeandnoahfans.com/page/Not+With+My+son+ch+3&quot; target=&quot;_self&quot;&gt;Chapter 3&lt;/a&gt;&lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description></item><item><title>Not With My Son Ch 3</title><link>http://www.lukeandnoahfans.com/page/Not+With+My+Son+Ch+3</link><author>Nukelover</author><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.lukeandnoahfans.com/page/Not+With+My+Son+Ch+3</guid><pubDate>Wed, 20 Aug 2008 07:36:29 CDT</pubDate><description>&lt;u&gt;&lt;i&gt;  &lt;table align=&quot;bottom&quot; cellpadding=&quot;3&quot; class=&quot;wp-border-rows&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;&gt;  &lt;tbody&gt;  &lt;tr&gt;  &lt;td width=&quot;100%&quot;&gt;  &lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;Title:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt; Softer Side&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;Chapter:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt; 3&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;Rating:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt; PG 13&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;Summary:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt; Amy tries to help the boys, while Damian and Winston part ways.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;Characters:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt; Amy, Noah, Luke, Damian, Winston&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;Genre:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt; Drama&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;Warnings:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Disclaimer:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;i&gt; This site is no way associated with &amp;quot;As the World Turns&amp;quot;, CBS, P&amp;amp;G, or Van Hansis and Jake Silbermann.

Noah walked into the apartment. &amp;quot;What&amp;#39;s that smell?&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Amy looked up. &amp;quot;Nail polish. I kind of like the smell.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah walked over and got a bottle of water from the fridge. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#39;t think I&amp;#39;ll ever get use to all your rituals&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Amy shrugged. &amp;quot;Awe come on. I think you and Luke could learn a thing or two from me.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah walked over next to his sister. &amp;#39;Like what? We know how to cook and from the looks of your room we are better at cleaning than you.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Amy frowned. &amp;quot;So I like the lived in look. I know where everything is.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah took a drink of his water. &amp;quot;Okay. When was the last time you saw your I-pod.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Amy went back to her toes. &amp;quot;Okay. So I don&amp;#39;t know where everything is. You&amp;#39;re the one to talk. I&amp;#39;ve heard you ask Luke where things were plenty of times.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah chuckled. &amp;quot;You&amp;#39;re right. I guess we&amp;#39;re both bad at keeping track of things. Well, what are you suppose to teach us.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Amy smiled. &amp;quot;How to get in touch with your feminine side.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah frowned. &amp;quot;I&amp;#39;ve got about as much of a feminine side as I want. I&amp;#39;m gay remember. Besides, I hope your not talking about painting my toes, because that&amp;#39;s not my color.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Amy rolled her eyes at her brother. &amp;quot;Very funny. I know you&amp;#39;re gay, but you were raised on an army base by your dad, not much of an opportunity to get in touch with your softer side.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah raised his eyebrow. &amp;quot;I think Luke likes my sides the way they are.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke came into the apartment and heard Noah&amp;#39;s comment. &amp;quot;...and especially your backside.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Amy wrinkled her nose. &amp;quot;Eww. TMI.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke smiled. &amp;quot;What are you talking about?&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah kissed Luke on the cheek. &amp;quot;Amy wants to put us in touch with our feminine side.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke giggled. &amp;quot;Didn&amp;#39;t you tell her that we&amp;#39;re gay?&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah shrugged. &amp;quot;I did, but she didn&amp;#39;t think that was good enough.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Amy shook her head. &amp;quot;Forget it. I&amp;#39;ll just take my toes and my polish in my room.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke walked towards the bedroom. &amp;quot;Don&amp;#39;t leave on my account.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Amy waddled to her room. &amp;quot;I&amp;#39;m not, but you guys will miss me when I&amp;#39;m gone.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah nodded at Amy. &amp;quot;Of course we will.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke turned and looked at his boyfriend before he went into their room and caught his eye. They both smiled and shook their heads.&lt;br&gt;///////////////////////////////////////////////////&lt;br&gt;Luke and Noah were laying in bed going over the list that Lucinda had given them. &amp;quot;All of these companies seem the same to me. How are we suppose to decide?&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah read over some of the descriptions again. &amp;quot;Well, these two seem to really be into the environment. That&amp;#39;s really a hot topic now. There&amp;#39;s always the link between cancer and pollutants, so it would be good if we could choose a company that is trying to help the environment. Improve the air quality and save resources. We wouldn&amp;#39;t want a company that is contributing to the problem. We are trying to help these kids not hurt them.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke nodded. &amp;quot;That&amp;#39;s a good point. See I knew there was a reason that I loved you.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah smiled. &amp;quot;Besides my good looks.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke frowned at Noah. &amp;quot;Who said you were good looking.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah stuck out his lip. &amp;quot;Emma said I&amp;#39;m handsome.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke smirked. &amp;quot;That&amp;#39;s just because you always compliment her cooking. Hey look at this one, it does pharmaceuticals. That might be handy.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah shook his head. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#39;t know, we don&amp;#39;t want to be accused of asking for favors.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke thought for a minute. &amp;quot;Isn&amp;#39;t that the whole point, maybe they will want to be a sponsor. Donate drugs or something along those lines.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah shrugged. &amp;quot;Maybe.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke rubbed his eyes. &amp;quot;I&amp;#39;m getting tired. I think we are going to have to find out more about these companies. I know Lucinda doesn&amp;#39;t want to put too much influence into our decisions, but I don&amp;#39;t see how she can&amp;#39;t. This is too important for us to not have her input.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah took the papers and put them on the night stand. &amp;quot;Well, I don&amp;#39;t think it would cause any trouble if she guided us one way or another. She did say that she has used some of the companies in her own personal accounts. We just need to find out which ones. Those would probably be the best.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke turned off the light. I don&amp;#39;t want to think about it any more tonight. I want to get back to what makes me feel good and your soft side.&amp;quot; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah pulled Luke in tight. &amp;quot;Hmm. my hard one is so much better.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke made his way under the covers. You&amp;#39;re right. It is.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;/////////////////////////////////////////////////&lt;br&gt;Damian and Winston were sitting in his parlor. &amp;quot;Well, I guess this will be the last time that we will see each other.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Winston leaned forward in his seat and nodded. &amp;quot;I guess, but what if we need to contact each other?&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Damian got up and filled his glass. &amp;quot;If all goes as planned we won&amp;#39;t need to be in contact. You will go your way with your son and I will be on my way with mine.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Winston got up and walked over to Damian. &amp;quot;I&amp;#39;m not sure if I like this plan. I&amp;#39;m the one taking all the risk.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Damian handed Winston his glass back after refilling it and walked back over to his chair. &amp;quot;You&amp;#39;re dead, Winston or should I say John. I have made sure that your papers are in order. I can get Luke here, but it will be difficult if your son is around. It&amp;#39;s much better for you to distract him by using that cousin of his that we talked about. As you said she is dispensable, and he is quickly attached to people from what you told me about him and that Iraqi woman that you said he married.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Winston sat down across from Damian. &amp;quot;Yeah, that is another one of my son&amp;#39;s weaknesses. His attraction to strays, besides that he is too trusting.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Damian took a drink. &amp;quot;I will get Luke out of Oakdale as we discussed. That will allow you to put your plan in motion. Once they are separated, we will be able to carry out the rest of our plan and they will never see each other again.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Winston finished the last of his drink. &amp;quot;You do make it sound simple. You just make sure I have the money I need, just in case my son isn&amp;#39;t as glad to see me come back from the dead as we are hoping. I don&amp;#39;t want to have to find a job once I reach my final destination.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Damian got up. &amp;quot;Everything is set up as we agreed, but understand, if you fail and Noah messes up my plan, you will not only not get a penny, you will have to answer to me.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Winston got his coat. &amp;quot;You don&amp;#39;t know who you are messing with Grimaldi.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Damian walked back over to the bar. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#39;t think you understand. There are bigger people than me involved here, so don&amp;#39;t sell me short.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Winston grunted. &amp;quot;Fine. We have both made our threats.

Taking the phone after thanking Luke for bringing it to him and closing the door Luke heads back downstairs and out into the barn for more chores to get done. All you could hear upstairs inside the house is Noah sitting on the bed in tears after hanging up with his mother as he wanted to really break the phone but since it wasn&amp;#39;t his or his parents leaving it alone would be an good idea.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;  &lt;font size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Going downstairs hanging it up and rushing out the back door letting it slam hard against the frame as Emma was in town doing her thing, Luke and Aaron were in the stalls cleaning for the horses to be fed and redone again as they cant be rebrushed.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;  &lt;font size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;quot;I&amp;#39;d better go see whats going on Aaron sounds like Noah is upset about something, be right back to help with the horses.&amp;quot;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;  &lt;font size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Before Aaron could say anything Luke was gone as Noah was sitting down at the pond tossing rocks into the water not hearing Luke coming up behind him as he felt Luke&amp;#39;s hand on his shoulder as he jumped up almost knocking Luke down.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;  &lt;font size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;quot;What did I do now?&amp;quot;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;quot;Nothing Noah, I heard the door slam to the house so I came to investigate everything alright?&amp;quot;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;  &lt;font size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;quot;No Luke it&amp;#39;s not. My mother decided to call and tell me her happy news, she&amp;#39;s getting remarried. Get this not to my dad but to someone else.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;She wants me home for the fucking wedding, I&amp;#39;m not going. If she wants a happy I do wedding then me staying away from all the event will be the best idea, I go and they won&amp;#39;t be walking down the asile as husband and wife when that preacher asks &amp;quot;Does anyone object to this marriage.&amp;quot;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;Sorry Luke I can&amp;#39;t do this, Damn I should had known she would pull this shit when I left.&amp;quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;Watching Noah getting up taking his shirt off and kicking his shoes off running into the pond as he went under water swam to the middle grabbing an innertube swimming around on it for awhile as he just relaxed as the tears just rolled down his face. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;Noah would you like for me to fly back with you now or just wait here for you to come back? I don&amp;#39;t think you should be alone Noah.&amp;quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;I am alright Luke honestly just need sometime to adjust to everything going on around me, funny thing is that she never mentioned about marriage to Dan before until today over the phone to me in person. Why tell me over the phone? Makes no sense.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luke sits down on the grass pulling Noah shirt onto his lap holding it tightly against his chest as he began tearing up as well seeing what Noah was going thru. As he went thru it as a baby. (I think) Watching Noah on the tube floating on his back with a ball cap on keeping the sun out of his eyes wiping more tears away.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;Babe that is one question I can&amp;#39;t answer for you only your mom can. Doesn&amp;#39;t make sense tell you what why don&amp;#39;t we fly back to Atlanta summer&amp;#39;s half over and when is she planning this wedding to be? Did she tell your dad yet? Or is that your job to break the news to him?&amp;quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;We fly back now Luke the tickets are going to cost an extra few hundred dollars and I don&amp;#39;t have that kind of money lying around. Do you? Not that it matters because I am not with you for money! Find us someone with a private jet or a huge pocketbook I&amp;#39;ll be all set and ready to leave right now.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;She told him I guess she told him the minute I left that day, just couldn&amp;#39;t tell me until now because I was just having so much fun between that first day until now. So they save the bad news for last minute hurry up we got to get your dress suit for the wedding. Oh by the way Noah sweetheart your in the wedding! Bullshit I wouldn&amp;#39;t be in that fucking wedding if they paid me a billion dollars.&amp;quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;Hon let me ask you this does this man have kids of his own? Maybe they feel the same way about your mom as you do their dad. If you bond together the marriage won&amp;#39;t happen could work.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;Haha what a laugh Luke Snyder, he has kids. His son Jake who is a year younger than us loves the idea he&amp;#39;s getting another mother and his daughter who is the same age is your sister Faith, she&amp;#39;s what 9 10? she is thrilled of the whole idea. Guess she likes the fact she is having two older brothers now instead of one. Me the hot cute one she calls me.&amp;quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;Yeah well 10 years old or not Noah I wouldn&amp;#39;t worry about her too much after they get married she won&amp;#39;t think of you as the cute hot one. She&amp;#39;ll just look up to you as the older brother. Faith is 9. Jake I take it is in our school then?&amp;quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;No he goes to school in Conyers where his mom lives, Dan gets both on the weekends. Reasons are he has a bad temper only when things don&amp;#39;t go his way telling my mom anything about it she think its because he works hard. Shit my dad works hard too but he don&amp;#39;t throw things around the house over little things.&amp;quot; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;My Grandmother Walsh has a private jet and some money which would you prefer the private jet to take us back home or would you rather take the jumbo plane back from Chicago to Atlanta? We go on her private Jet we go from the small airport here in Oakdale and land at the small airport not too far from where we live Noah.&amp;quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;Jumbo jet! Gives more freedom to prepare for a speech you know a bullshit make believable convincing come on heartbreaking sob poem, actually show that I care about thier wedding.One thing that&amp;#39;ll make me happy is if you&amp;#39;ll come be my date at the reception?&amp;quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;I&amp;#39;d be honored Noah Mayer!

I sat close to Noah, hoping he wouldn&amp;#39;t hear my heart banging in my chest. Dad, after a slight pause, decided to get the ball rolling, since I was a bundle of nerves.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;Noah-we are so glad to have you here. I want you to know that you are welcome to stay at the farm with Luke for as long as you like.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah smiled at him. &amp;quot;Thank you Mr. Snyder, that&amp;#39;s awfully kind of you. I really love the farm-some of the best memories are from here. Your whole family has always been so good to me.&amp;quot; He tapped his iced tea glass with a fingernail and threw me an apologetic look. &amp;quot;I probably need to get back though-I mean, not right away. But I have a job, and well, it&amp;#39;s important to keep up appearances with Ameera and-&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Mom cut him off. &amp;quot;Noah, we all think you should stay with us for awhile. Take a nice long break. You need one honey, you really do.&amp;quot; She shot me and expectant look and the ball was served to me. Oh shit.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I grabbed his hand. &amp;quot;Noah, what we&amp;#39;re trying to say here is that you need people around you right now. People that love you. We are all really, really worried and going back to your old life isn&amp;#39;t the best idea.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There was a short, heavy silence and Noah frowned slightly, processing this. Then a light seemed to dawn and he turned to me, staring really hard. It was like angry laser beams hitting my face. He was furious.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;His voice was shaking. &amp;quot;You-you told them? I can&amp;#39;t believe-fuck, Luke! I trusted you!&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I clamped down on his hand as tight as I could. &amp;quot;Noah-Noah-just listen. I was really scared for you and I had to tell someone. You can trust my family, we only want to help you. I love you, they love you. So please, please, please don&amp;#39;t be angry.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He wrenched his hand away as if I was burning it. &amp;quot;Who else did you tell, Luke? You didn&amp;#39;t-please tell me you didn&amp;#39;t tell Ameera!&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I nodded miserably. &amp;quot;Noah-technically she&amp;#39;s your wife and she also is your friend. I had to tell her, along with Liza and Ben.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;Oh, Fuck!&amp;quot; Noah just exploded and turned over a chair as he stood. &amp;quot;Why didn&amp;#39;t you take an ad in the goddamn Oakdale Times while you were at it! it would have been a great headline-&amp;#39;Queer Kid Loses It, Thoughts of Suicide and Self Mutilation&amp;#39;. Read all the gory details on page 3! &amp;quot; He started to storm out the door and I went to follow, but dad grabbed his arm, almost yanking him backwards as he did so.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;Noah Mayer-I need you to calm the hell down RIGHT NOW!&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It was dad&amp;#39;s &amp;#39;I&amp;#39;m In Charge&amp;#39; voice. He didn&amp;#39;t use it often, but when he did, it stopped you in your tracks. It worked with me since I was two and it worked on Noah.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Dad clasped him by both shoulders, gazing directly in his face.&amp;quot;That&amp;#39;s better. Now look at me Noah, because I really want you to pay close attention.&amp;quot; Noah did, very reluctantly. &amp;quot;There is nothing to be ashamed of, son. You have had a hell of a lot happen to you recently, things that would make, anyone, no matter how strong they are, break down. Coming out-I know how tough that is because of Luke. What your father did and him going to prison, the truth about your mother, Luke in that wheelchair-it was a terrible ordeal that must have taken it&amp;#39;s toll. And I wish to god we had found another way to to help Ameera. That messed both you boys up.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Dad sighed. &amp;quot;And I feel awful, Noah, for not checking up on you after you and Luke broke up. Lily and I both do. It&amp;#39;s difficult being a parent, because you need to support your kids, take their side, be their back up. But I should have at least made sure you were going to be all right. We made you a part of our family, and then didn&amp;#39;t treat you like one when it all went south. I love all my kids, and I feel like you are one too. I hope you can forgive me.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I realized that tears were streaming down my face as I waited for Noah to react. And for a few endless seconds, nothing. Then he said in a very small voice, &amp;quot;Of course I do, Mr. Snyder-I-&amp;quot; And then, the dam broke. Noah literally dissolved into big heaving sobs, shoulders shaking. It was agonizing to hear, as it sounded like there were being dragged from some lost, lonely place inside him. He covered his face with his hands, but dad pulled them away and wrapped him up in a hug. I came up behind and stroked Noah&amp;#39;s back while mom began crying too.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Dad patted his shoulder and murmured, &amp;quot;That&amp;#39;s okay buddy, just let it out. I think you have been holding on to this for a long, long time.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I had a sudden insight how enormously important this was to Noah. He never got any kind of parental approval or reassurance. He thought the world of my father, and constantly told me so. I could also sense a tiny bit of envy, and who could blame him? I couldn&amp;#39;t imagine being raised by that cold, angry psychopath. In comparison, even my whacked out family must have seemed like heaven. Yeah, they drive me nuts, but there is also love, warmth and kindness, something Noah did without his entire life. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah finally stopped crying after a few minutes. He pulled away from dad, tear streaked and shaking. I grabbed his wrist and guided him back to the table after setting his chair upright again.&amp;quot;Sit down, Mayer.&amp;quot; I said gently. He did what he was told, rubbing his eyes with the back of his hand like a little boy. Mom had found a box of tissues and she set them in front of him after taking one herself. Noah pulled one out and wiped his eyes and blew his nose. I followed suit. We were quite the team.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah spoke first, his voice was hoarse.&amp;quot; Sorry. I don&amp;#39;t usually break down like that...&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;Noah-why are you apologizing for crying?&amp;quot; I asked. I had actually only seen him do it twice now, and I had a bad feeling it was new all territory.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He crumpled up the tissue. &amp;quot;All roads lead to Winston Mayer, I guess. My father always made me feel it was something to be ashamed of.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;Honey, what your father doesn&amp;#39;t know could fill the Library of Congress.&amp;quot; Mom reached out and rubbed his shoulder. &amp;quot;He&amp;#39;s an ass. How he ended up with such a sweet kid I&amp;#39;ll never know.&amp;quot; Noah gave her a weak smile. &amp;quot;So-are you staying here with us on the farm?&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah took a long breath.&amp;quot;Yes. Thank you. I&amp;#39;ve missed it here so much, and really, the ICE has been kind of a non-issue lately.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Dad sat down at the opposite side of the table, right across from Noah. &amp;quot;There&amp;#39;s one more thing, son...&amp;quot; He then looked at me. Crap. Thanks, dad. I braced myself for another explosion.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;Noah..my folks and I feel that you need to see somebody. Someone professional.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah narrowed his eyes. &amp;quot;Like a...psychiatrist?&amp;quot; His face actually went white. &amp;quot;I-I&amp;#39;m not crazy.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I put my hand over his. &amp;quot;No one is saying that you are. I wasn&amp;#39;t when I went to see one.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah blinked. &amp;quot;You never told me that.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I concentrated on our joined hands. &amp;quot;Because it&amp;#39;s not so easy to talk about. My alcoholism. I was such a total train wreck then. I could down a bottle or two of booze in a day. I almost killed myself, Noah. But that awful urge is gone now, because I asked for help and I got it. I&amp;#39;m always going to be an alcoholic, but Dr. Weis showed me what triggered my need for it and how to cope. They do really help, Noah. You can say things without worrying about judgement or consequences.&amp;quot; I picked up his hand and kissed it. It was the sort of intimate gesture I would not normally do in front of my folks, but I wasn&amp;#39;t worrying about it now. Noah&amp;#39;s eyes were locked into mine and I could tell he was on the edge of losing it again.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;So please don&amp;#39;t be scared. I will be with you every step, I promise. And I want a promise from you, too. Remember what you said to me in the hospital when I thought I would never walk again? You made me swear that I would try and get better. Well, I want that from you, now. Can you do that?&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A few tears went down Noah&amp;#39;s cheek. &amp;quot;I said that I could never refuse you anything Luke, and I meant it. I love you Luke, so much. So yes, I promise.&amp;quot; He threw his arms around my neck and pulled me close. I hugged him tight, patting his back. Mom and dad got quietly up from the table and it looked like they were going to make a discreet exit. Mom was crying again and dad looked both moved and proud of me. I silently mouthed &amp;#39;thank you&amp;#39; before they left the room and I hoped the immense gratitude I had showed on my face.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah and I held each other for what seemed like hours, the only sound was our breathing and the ticking of gram&amp;#39;s kitchen clock. I just buried my face in Noah&amp;#39;s shoulder, feeling the warmth of his body. We finally had to pull apart because it was an awkward position and we both were getting stiff. Noah leaned back in his chair looking as fragile and torn up as an old rag doll. I wasn&amp;#39;t much better. It seemed like years had passed and it was only ten thirty in the morning. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I played with Noah&amp;#39;s left hand and funnily enough the stupid wedding ring didn&amp;#39;t bother me anymore. I sighed, and suddenly needed some air. &amp;quot;Want to go for a walk or something? It&amp;#39;s a gorgeous day out.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He gave me a slight smile. &amp;quot;A turn around Snyder pond?&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I got hit with a great, brilliant idea. It was just the ticket. &amp;quot;No-on second thought, we&amp;#39;ve done the walking thing to death. How about a ride? As in horses?&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah looked surprised. &amp;quot;Horses? Me?&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I yanked him to his feet. &amp;quot;C&amp;#39;mon, it&amp;#39;s perfect. Trust me.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;*****&lt;br&gt;We went out to the stable, hand in hand. It had been awhile since I had been there, but I got a big, happy greeting, whickering and stomping, heads poking over the stalls. It was such a comforting place to be, I had been tottering around piles of manure since I could walk. The smell of a stable, next to Noah, is one of my favorites-alfalfa, leather, dust, oats, horses. I went over to my big black gelding, Rambler, who was stretching his neck out in my direction. I stroked his cheek while he snuffled his lips over my face. I kissed his big, softer than velvet nose. &amp;quot;Hey, baby boy-hi there.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Noah hung back,very quiet . He was always a little edgy in the stables, even though he had come out here with me quite a bit. He was good around the horses, never talking too loud, and gentle and slow when he
