Does the Feeling Go Both Ways?

Eventually Landon woke. His body jerked slightly and he looked around appearing to be disoriented.


Reaching out, Trey touched Landon??s unbroken hand. ??You??re in the hospital.??


Landon??s eyes eventually focused on him. ??Are you enjoying this???


Trey considered his words more carefully this time. ??No, not particularly. It??s been fourteen years. A lot??s changed since then.??


??Are you up for talking about??about what happened back then??? Trey asked.


??Why did you tell my father that I??m gay? He beat me so badly I could barely walk for days. He threw me out of the house and hasn??t spoken to me since. Why, Landon, why???


Landon looked like he was going to shatter. ??Because I wanted it to be me.??


??What??? asked Trey. Landon??s comment just didn??t track.
