Jason's Story - Chapters 29-37 free porn video

Author's Note: Thanks to Joni W for her help in editing. Comments always appreciated. Chapter 29 The crowd erupted in anger. Everything seemed to happen at once. Coach Osborn rushed to Jason, while yelling at the umpire, Brad and the coach of the Tigers. Brad tried to give an innocent look, putting both arms out in a questioning way, saying, "What, it slipped." The Tiger's coach ran out to the mound shouting at Brad, "Not on my team!" The umpire immediately pointed at Brad, and said, "You, you are out of here. That was deliberate." Meanwhile, Jason was holding onto his head, his coach had reached him and said, "Jason, hold still. Are you ok?" Brad was arguing with his coach and the umpire. The crowd, made up of families from both teams, was united in yelling at Brad. Brad finally walked off the field, into his dugout and kicked the helmets, dumped the box of practice balls, and threw the water cooler. He was completely out of control. Brad's coach and one of his assistants, finally grabbed hold of Brad, and sat him forcibly down on the bench." "Brad, you sit right there, and don't move. Don't say another word. Nobody on my team pulls the kind of stunt you just did. You sit there, and I don't want to hear another word from you. I have not seen your parents today, are they here?" Brad shook his head no; his eyes glued on the scene at home plate. Jason was now sitting up; he had taken his helmet off, and was sitting on the ground. His coach was kneeling in front of him. Kristine and Richard were close at hand as well. "I'm ok, coach, really," Jason said. "Jason, that was a pretty good hit on the head, we have to make sure. Thank god you got your head turned at the last moment; it was headed right for your nose." "Coach, it hit the helmet. It felt like a bell ringing around me, and knocked me over, but I'll be ok." "Ok, stand up slowly, take it easy." Jason got up slowly. Took a couple of good deep breaths, and closed his eyes. The umpire and the Tiger's coach came over, and asked, "Is he ok, Coach?" "I think he will be. Jason, take your base, but I am going to put in a pinch runner. I think you need to sit out the rest of the game. You look pretty shaken." Jason made the obligatory attempt to protest, but really did not push too hard. Jason walked to first base, and the crowd clapped in acknowledgement. Once he touched first base, Coach Osborn sent out a pinch runner for him, and Jason walked into the dugout, to another round of applause. The rest of the game was uneventful. Jason's team costed the rest of the way to an easy win.. Jason and his parents spoke with Coach Osborn after the game. "Ok, first off, you should know that the umpire, their coach and I signed a formal complaint to the league about Brad. Not only did he throw at you, which there is no doubt of, but the tantrum in the dugout shows he has no control of his temper. He will at the very least be suspended, but I expect he may even be kicked out of the league. We have also filed an injury report, so please have Jason checked out, and submit any out of pocket expenses to the league. That's what our insurance is for. Here are the forms." Brad was still sitting on the Tiger's bench. His coach had called his father, and Brad was not allowed to leave until he had taken responsibility for him. Brad continued to stare at Jason with rage in his eyes. As Jason finished packing up his equipment and was heading to the car with his parents, Brad's father pulled into the lot. He got out of the car, slammed the door and headed over to the Tiger's bench. As Jason and his parents were putting his equipment bag in the trunk, they heard Brad's father and coach getting into an argument. "What do you mean suspended. For hitting a kid with a pitch! It's part of the game, you jack ass." "Not deliberately throwing at the batter. No sir, it's not. Brad was upset because the kid made a great play on him, and got a hit off of him, the previous time he was up at bat. He threw at him twice, the second time right at his head. This is not acceptable. Then when he was ejected, he tore up the bench area. He needs to learn about anger management." "That's bullshit. You wait, you will never coach in this league again you moron. Some wuss gets hit by a pitch and cries, then you kick the best kid you have off the team." "Mr. Johnson, go ahead and try. I know the league rules, and they are not going to take this incident lightly. This complaint was signed off by the umpire, me and the other coach. As for the boy your son went after, he didn't do anything to deserve being thrown at, this is a rec league and it's about sportsmanship. Something you and Brad obviously don't get." "I know about this kid, he has been giving Brad a hard time at school too. Almost got Brad expelled a few weeks ago. He is hardly innocent." At that Richard lost it. "Alright Johnson, enough of that nonsense. Your son is the one with the problem, not Jason. Brad objected because Julie Sanders was not interested in him, but was interested in my son. He went after Jason at the mall, and then at school. There are plenty of witnesses that saw it. I'll tell you right now, this has gone far enough. Brad could have killed him today. You had better get him into some counseling, and perhaps get some for yourself." Brad's father turned toward Richard, and said, "Or what, gonna have your lawyers come after me. No wonder your son is a wuss." "Well at least we know where your son gets it." Mr. Johnson came up to him, Richard stood his ground. "Gentlemen, is there a problem here?" Officer Dowling asked. "Johnson, I think it's time for you to cool down. Richard, go take care of Jason." "Ok Tim." "Johnson, I'm writing this up. If I find out that there are any other problems between you and Richard or Brad and Jason, it will be on record. Now take Brad and go home." "Fine. Brad, come on." Brad and his father got into his car and left. "Richard, I can't do too much, but if Brad keeps after Jason, let me know. Maybe we can work on building a harassment case. I'll talk to the D.A. about this and see what we need." "Thanks Tim. I just don't want this to keep escalating like this. That boy needs to be reigned in, but the apple doesn't fall short of the tree." "No, it doesn't, does it." Jason's Coach Osborn came over, "Tim thanks for getting over here quickly. I thought that was going to get ugly." "No problem, thanks for calling me." Richard said, "Thanks guys, we need to get Jason over to the clinic. I'll catch up with you later." "See ya. Hey Jason, great game today. Get the all clear, we need you on Tuesday." "Thanks Coach." Chapter 30 They spent the better part of the afternoon at a local walk-in clinic, where Jason was checked for any signs of concussion. Fortunately, he was declared to be fine, but was told to take it easy, and to be very careful if he felt any dizziness, or got a headache. Jason and his friends had intended to go skating that night, but his parents ruled that out. He called Julie and told her about what had happened and that he would not be able to go. Julie called back after speaking with the others and they decided to skip skating and asked if they could come over to Jason's house. His parents were fine with that. They popped a movie in the player, in the family room, and paired off by couples. The conversation steered to discussing the events at the game. "So what do you think is going to happen?" Kathy asked. "I don't know. I think Brad will be suspended, probably kicked off the team. His coach wants him gone. Dad got a call from the D.A. tonight as well. They are looking at whether they can build a case for harassment. They want to get Brad in front of a juvie judge, if they can and get him ordered into some kind of anger management program. They agree that he seems to be out of control. The D.A. was not sure they could make a case of it though. They have started a file and will be speaking to the school on Monday." The movie was awful, so they turned it off, and put on some CD's. "Oh, I love this song!" Kathy said, "Come on." She pulled Steve off the couch to dance. Steve said, "But I don't know how." Kathy replied, "Then I'll teach you, silly. It's not hard. Just do what I do. Come on girls, drag them up here too!" Julie and Sue laughed and pulled Jason and John up. They cleared some room by moving the coffee table to the side and the girls taught the guys how to dance. They were not about to win any contests, but the boys relaxed and started to have some fun. Then a slow song came on. Kathy and Sue were going to take a break, but Julie took Jason by the hand and pulled him close. Jason was awkward, having never danced a slow dance before. Julie said, "Like this. Let me lead for now." The other four watched for a few moments, and then Kathy took Steve's hand, and Sue took John's. Again they were awkward, as they moved with the music. When it was over, Sue asked Julie, "Where did you learn to dance like that?" "From my father," she replied. "He and Mom love to dance, and they started to teach Brian and me almost as soon as we could walk." "Can you teach us?" Sue asked. "Sure. If you would like?" The others all nodded in agreement, so they queued up some more slow music, and Julie showed them the basics. Kristine came down to check on them, and found a full-scale dance class going on. "What's going on?" She asked. "Julie is teaching us all how to dance," John answered. "So I see. You all seem to be getting the hang of it," Kristine said with a smile. "I think so Mom. Would you care to dance?" "I'd love too." Jason took his mother's arm and began a dance. Richard came in, and with a smile, reached out to Julie. When the song was over, Kristine said, "Well, that was fun. Thank you Jason." Richard said to Julie, "You are quite good. You have obviously danced a lot." "Yes sir. Mom and Dad feel that everyone should know how to dance, and they made sure that Brian and I learned right from the start." "Well as much as I hate to do it, it's just after 10, and I'm afraid we have to take you all home," Richard said. They helped clean up, and then got into Richard's car. He dropped off everyone else before stopping at Julie's house. Jason walked her to the door, and asked, "Are you going to be able to come over tomorrow, Julie?" "Yes, I'm looking forward to some time with my friend Kelly," she answered. "She tells me she is looking forward to seeing you as well." Chapter 31 The next day Julie came over early. "My Aunt is coming over with one of her friends this afternoon. She is an expert with make-up," Jason told Julie. "Cool! You think she will give me some help too?" Julie asked. Jason laughed, "I can't see why not, but don't hold me to it." "I won't. Too bad Kathy can't be here. She is really good, like I told you, but she always likes to learn more." "You know, I wonder how Kathy and Sue would react if they were to know about Kelly. There are times when I really wish I could come out to them. I know I can't, especially since if they were to find out, Steve and John would have to know, and I am definitely not ready for that." "You know, I think the girls would be fine with it. I don't know John and Steve well enough yet. It might be more of an affront to them and it would definitely be more difficult for them socially. Guilt by association." "I know. Oh well, not going to happen. But it makes me appreciate you even more. I love our Sunday 'girl' time. Not that I don't enjoy our Saturday boy/girl time! Last night was certainly fun." "I feel the same. You know, it really doesn't matter much to me how you are dressed, your just you." Jason just sat back and enjoyed that thought. "So what are you doing for summer vacation? It's only another month away." He asked. "I don't know. We will probably go someplace, but Mom and Dad haven't told us where or when. How about you?" "We always go up to the lake house for a couple of weeks. Usually in early July." "That sounds like fun." "I wonder if Mom and Dad would let you come. John came one year, and Steve did another year. There are three bedrooms. We don't usually use the extra room. I'll have to ask." "That would be really cool." "Yeah, it's very secluded. I already talked to Mom; I'm planning on spending almost the entire time as Kelly. We are even gonna get me a girls bathing suit for swimming in the lake." "Isn't that a bit risky? What about tan lines?" "I burn really bad. So I use a very high SPF suntan lotion, so I rarely tan. We're going to stick to a one-piece swimsuit. Mom said we would pick something that will look like a tank top, if I do tan." "Ok... I guess that would work." "Why don't we go ask her if you could come?" "That sounds good to me. I might have to work on my parents to get them to say yes. They do like your Mom and Dad. I had to laugh, because they said, 'There kind of liberal, but not rabidly so.' I know your Mom told me that mine are 'kind of conservative, but not oppressively so.' She thinks my parents may not react as badly, as I think they will, if they find out about you and more importantly, about me." They went and found Kristine, and Jason asked her if Julie could come with them. "Maybe. We would have to get permission from your parents Julie. We certainly have the room. I guess the question is whether your parents would trust us to properly chaperone you two. Let me talk to Jason's father, and if he is ok with it, then I'll give your mother a call, Julie." Later in the afternoon, Sally, Emily and Sally's friend Michele arrived. They set up in the kitchen. Emily went into the family room to watch her cartoons. "Ok Kelly, we'll start with you. Don't worry Julie, I've got lots of time, we'll make some time for you too." "Thanks!" "Now Kelly, we really need to do something about your hair first. Kristine, if you will let me, I will need to cut her hair. Trust me, I won't do anything to cause problems when he presents as Jason." "Well ok." Michele clipped a wrap around Kelly's neck. She went to work, while Kristine looked on with trepidation. When she was almost done, she said, "Now, if we brush it like this, no one is going to think it is at all feminine." "I will agree with that," Kristine answered. Michele dug into her supplies, and pulled out a set of clip in extensions, selecting the ones that most closely matched Jason's hair. She went back to work, applying the extensions and then reshaping Jason's hair. Kristine and Julie both looked on with major interest. Michele made sure that they could all see exactly what she was doing. When she was done, Kristine said, "Wow. I've never used extensions, but they look great. It totally changes her look." "Ok, let's work on the face now. I'm going to clean up your eyebrows first. Again, not enough to cause you problems at school. But even guys brows don't need to be quite that bushy." She then cleaned off the make-up that Jason had put on painstakingly that morning. "This was not bad, but let me work with you here." Michele got out her make-up kit. Julie looked on with great interest, and said, "I had to work with what I had." Michele said, "Julie, it was actually very good. But I have some experience, particularly with girls like Kelly." "You work a lot with transgendered people?" Julie asked. Michele put her finger to her mouth and said, "shhh.. I'll let you in on a secret... I am a transgendered person." "You are a man?" Julie said with surprise. Jason's eyes also went wide. "Well, not anymore. But I was born male," Michele answered. "So you've had the operation?" Jason asked, but then said, "Oh... I'm sorry that was rude." "Yes. I have," she told Jason, "and it's ok for you to ask. That is one of the reasons that Sally asked me to come here today. We know that you have a long way to go before you will be making any kinds of decisions about such things, and you may find that you don't ever want to. If you find that you and Julie stay together, you may both decide that you don't want to lose that little bit of you that is all Jason. I know you are working with Dr. Daniels. He is really great; I worked with him too. He will definitely help you to figure out what is right for you. Now let me get started on showing you how to bring out your beauty." Michele began to work on Jason's face. She showed her exactly what she was doing, both how and why. She explained why she was choosing each color and shade. When she was done she brought out her mirror and showed Jason. Jason just looked on wide mouthed. "Oh my god, is that me?" Kristine said, "That's amazing. I would never have guessed that she was really a boy, if I didn't know her." Julie looked at Jason and said, "Kelly, you look great." Sally said, "Michele, I knew you were good, but that really is incredible." "So Julie, would you like me to work on you next?" "Oh, would I!" she replied. "Have a seat." Michele cleaned Julie's current makeup off, saying "Let's start with a clean slate." Twenty minutes later, it was Julie's turn to stare in the mirror wide eyed. Kristine said, "Michele that is just remarkable." "They are both beautiful girls, all I did was help to bring out what was already there." She put together a package for each of the girls, with all of the make-up that she had used on each of them. Kristine asked, "How much do I owe you?" "Nothing." "Nothing? You have to let me pay you for the supplies at least." "No. I owe Sally my life. She was there for me when I needed a friend. This is just a down payment on what I owe her, and it was really my pleasure. This has been a lot of fun." Michele packed up her things. "Kelly, I mean it, if you have any questions, or ever need to talk to someone that has been through what you are going through, give me a call." "Thank you, Michele, I will. I'm sure that I will take you up on that some time." "Good, you do that. Sally, I'm going to have to go. I have to get back, or I'm going to be late. I'll see you next week?" "Yes. Thanks for everything." Sally replied. Chapter 32 Kathy, Steve, Sue and John were having dinner at the food court before their movie started. "So guys, have you thanked Jason yet?" Kathy asked. Steve looked at John and said, "Thanked him for what?" "For getting us together, silly," Sue replied. "Well... Not exactly, though I guess we should. I never would have believed that you and I would get together. You, Julie and Sue are all so pretty, and popular, you could be with any of the guys, but here you are with us ... not that I'm complaining!" John said. "You know guys, if we hadn't started hanging out together, because Julie wanted to be with Jason, we would not have gotten to know you. It's funny how that works, but I know we are both glad it did. I guess we all owe Jason's cousin Kelly, a thank you." "Kelly? Jason doesn't have a cousin Kelly," Steve said. "Sure he does. He and his mom both told us so." "I've known Jason since kindergarten; his family lives here in the area, and I've met them all. He only has one girl cousin, and her name is Emily, she is about seven. He has a couple of boy cousins, Tom and Billy, and that's it. Right John?" Sue and Kathy looked at each other, and Kathy said, "Oh ... well I would have sworn that is what they said, I must be confused." "You must have misheard them." The next day Kathy and Sue called Julie together. "Ok... What the heck is going on Julie?" Kathy said. "What do you mean?" "Jason doesn't have a cousin Kelly. We know darn well that he told us that he and his mom were shopping for his cousin Kelly, and his mother confirmed it," Kathy told her. Julie tried to think fast, and in order to stall asked, "How do you know he doesn't have a cousin named Kelly?" "Steve and John told us last night. They know all of Jason's family, and told us that Jason only has three cousins, Emily, Billy and Tom," Sue replied. "Maybe Kelly is a friend of the family, you know like my 'Aunt' Joan, who really isn't my aunt." Kathy and Sue looked at each other, showing they both found this unlikely. Kathy said, "The Aunt is honorary, so that you are not calling her Mrs. Peterson, but you would not refer to Cheryl as your cousin. Come on Julie, we know, you know something." "Kathy, Sue.... " Kathy's eyes went wide with sudden comprehension, "Oh my god, Jason is Kelly, isn't he!" "No! What would make you think that?" Julie said, perhaps a bit too emphatically. "It has to be. Why else would he lie about a cousin he doesn't have, and you know all about it. That's why you suddenly found him so interesting." "What?" Julie was now panicking. "Come on Julie, we've been best friends for years. You don't think that we did not know that you were just faking interest in boys, all this time? Sue and I have always thought you were gay, and if you are, it doesn't bother us. Jason must seem like a godsend, a boy that is also a girl. You can have it both ways. That explains everything. You left us in the accessories place to go next door, to the shoe store, but you came out with nothing, and then you went right over to Jason and started talking to him. That is so not like you, you must have seen, or heard something, in that store. In fact, now that I think about it, Mrs. Anderson had a bag from that store when she came over and joined us. You did see something there!" "Kathy, you are nuts." "Julie, I don't think so. Look I understand. If I'm right, then you can't acknowledge it, because I know you would never betray a friend. But Julie, you know me, I wouldn't either; and neither would Sue. You have been our friend forever, and Jason has become a friend, if he really is Kelly, we won't betray him. We are not going to ask you to either. But please, if this is true, talk to him for us and tell him he can trust us. We don't want secrets like this between us." "Kathy..." "Julie, it's ok. So are we all getting together tonight? We promise we won't bring this up. I doubt that the guys would be ready to deal with it ... assuming I'm right of course." "Kathy ... yes of course we are getting together tonight. I'll see you later." Julie hung up the phone, and called Jason right away. "Jason, we have a situation. Kathy and Sue have figured out that you are Kelly." "What! Did you say something to them?" "No, of course not. I didn't tell them anything. I haven't even confirmed it." "How could they have figured it out? You sure you didn't say something by accident?" "Jason, you know me better than that! John and Steve told them that you don't have a cousin named Kelly. They put two and two together and came up with the truth. "Oh my God. Damn, I should never have told that lie. But damn it I never expected you three to get to be such close friends. What the hell are we going to do?" "They wanted me to talk to you and tell you that you can trust them. I think you can, but Jason, I can't promise that for them. I'd say we need to have them over and talk to your mom. Maybe we can get together at your place, before we all go out tonight. Could you go ask your mom?" "Ok, let me ask her." Julie waited for Jason to come back to the phone. "Mom agrees, we need to talk to them." "Ok, I'll give them both a call, and set it up. Jason, it will work out. You and I will deal with this together." Julie hung up, and called Kathy and Sue back. "Kathy, look, I called Jason. We all need to talk. I need you both to come over to the Anderson's house with me, before we go out tonight." "So is that a confirmation then?" "No Kathy, it is not. But you are not going to believe me either way, so we need to get together and talk it through. I'm sure there is a logical explanation, and we are going to get it, before you jump to conclusions, ok?" "Fair enough." Chapter 33 Julie, Kathy, Sue, Jason and his mother sat in the family room. Kathy started off, "Mrs. Anderson, Jason, I know this is awkward. I'm sure that Julie has told you what I suspect. Last night we were out with Steve and John. We were talking and I mentioned your cousin Kelly. Steve and John were adamant that you don't have a cousin named Kelly. I tried to figure out why you would have lied about it. Sue and I have long suspected that Julie is gay, so we were pretty shocked when Jason and Julie got together. The way that it happened, was just so sudden, such a change, it just did not make sense. Jason you are a nice guy and we have gotten to know you, John and Steve since then, and believe me, I'm glad. We just couldn't figure out what had made her go over to you, at the mall. Then lunch the next day." "Go on," Jason's mother said. "But once I realized that you had lied about having a cousin, that you were buying all those clothes for, I remembered that Julie had come out of that shoe store, and went right to you. Then I remembered that you had a bag from the shoe store yourself Mrs. Anderson, it all clicked into place. She must have seen Jason picking out girls shoes. Jason is Kelly, isn't he?" Jason's mom answered for them, "Let's say for the sake of argument that this was all true, what would you do with that information? I'm sure you know that even the rumor of such a thing, would be very dangerous for Jason, especially with this lunatic Brad after him." "If it is true, then our best friend Julie, has found someone that has made her happier than we have ever seen her. We would be happy for our friend Julie, and would want to share in her happiness. I would want to be able to talk to her about it, and to really get to know the person that is making her happy. I would not want anything to hurt her, or my new friend Jason." Sue shook her head in agreement. "Ok, that is a very fine answer, Kathy. What about Steve and John? You both are getting pretty close; this would be a pretty big secret to keep from your boyfriends." "Mrs. Anderson, there may come a time when that might be an issue, but I don't see how it is any of their business, at this point. We are just dating. I like him, he likes me. We are getting to know each other, but I am not about to tell him my friend's secrets, nor do I expect him to tell me about his friends. If I were gay, or was a guy, he would have a right to know, before we got too involved, but the fact that one of my friends is secretly gay, or that another one wants to be a girl, it's not something he needs to know about." Sue said, "That's how I feel about it too." "Jason?" His mother looked at him. Jason closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said, "Mom, I have to trust them. Kathy, you are right. I am Kelly. " Kathy said, "Jason, thank you. I promise that you won't regret it. In the past couple of months I have really gotten to know you as Jason and I have seen how good you are for Julie. I hope that I can get to know you as Kelly some time as well." Sue, "Jason, you don't have anything to worry about from me. I would like to get to know this friend of Julie's, that has made her so happy." "I think I'd like that," Jason answered. Jason's mother said, "I think I'm getting a headache. I can't believe how this has snowballed from a stupid mistake. Jason, I'm sorry, I should never have taken you to that mall." Kathy and Sue made to protest, but Jason's mother put up her hand to stop them and said, "I don't mean that as a dig on you girls. You have all been unbelievably supportive, but it is only blind luck that it was you three and not someone that would have made Jason's life hell. Even with that, Benjamin Franklin once said, 'three people can keep a secret, if two are dead.' The circle has just grown, and sooner or later, it will expand, not because you are trying to hurt Jason, but because someone will catch on. Maybe it will be Steve or John next and they may, or may not, be able to accept this. Maybe it will be one of your parents, but sooner or later, it's going to come out. There are too many people that know now." The girls gave her a look of apology. "It's not anyone's fault, it just is. We'll deal with it as it happens. Ok, I think you all have dates tonight, if I'm not mistaken." Jason and his friends all nodded. "Good, then I'll drive. If the boys ask, you three were over at Julie's house and I picked you up first." Chapter 34 The friends were taking a break from skating and sharing some fries at the snack bar. "So Jason, I hear you did fairly well in your game today," John said. "Yeah, much better then Tuesday. On Tuesday I struck out four times, because I was flinching with every pitch. I just couldn't help it. My dad really worked with me the other night, and today I was able to stay in there, and got a couple of hits." "I hear Brad is out of the league," Sue said. "Yes, his father went nuts about it. They had to have the police come and have him escorted out of the hearing at the league board office." Jason told them. "I guess that explains where Brad gets it from," Kathy said. "I would say so," Jason replied. Taking advantage of a lull in the conversation, Julie asked, "So Kathy, Sue do you know what you are going to wear to the eighth grade graduation dance next week?" "Yes, Mom and I picked up a new dress," Sue answered. "Mom and I are going to go shopping tomorrow," Kathy answered, and then asked, "How about you?" "I have that dress I wore to my cousin's wedding in May. Mom says that will have to do," Julie said. "Oh, I remember that dress, you look great in it," Sue said. "I know, I do love it, but I would have loved to have gotten a new one," Julie answered. "I'm really looking forward to it, especially with the dancing lessons you have been giving us all," Sue said. "Yeah, I'm actually looking forward to it too," Steve said; John and Jason both agreed. "It's hard to believe that school is almost over for the year. We have just a couple more weeks to go. Next year we will be in high school" Kathy said. "Yeah, back to the bottom rung of the school again. It was kind of nice being the top dogs this year," John said. "It was at that. So what are you all doing for the summer?" Sue asked. "Well, we're heading up to our lake house for a couple of weeks, right after school gets out. Julie is going to be coming with us this year," Jason said. Steve said, "Oh Julie, you should enjoy that. I know I did last year. Lots to do up there, boating, fishing, swimming." "Yeah, it's lots of fun. I got to go a couple of years ago," John added. "I think it sounds great, but I hope you guys don't resent Jason asking me to go this year instead of one of you," Julie said. "Oh, don't worry about that Julie. We have both had our turn. Besides, I can hardly blame Jason for wanting to spend time with you. If I had a place like that I'd have asked Kathy. Anyway, my parents are taking us to Disneyworld, so I couldn't have gone with Jason this year anyway," Steve said. "I wouldn't mind going to Disneyworld with you," Kathy teased. Steve replied, "If Mom and Dad would let me, I'd have asked you. But we won't have a spare bedroom, and somehow I don't think they're going to let us share a bed." "No, I suppose not," Kathy said. Jason asked, "How about you Sue, what are you doing?" "I have to go spend two weeks with my Dad, and I'm sure I'll have to put up with his girlfriend. Argh. But I'm sure we'll do some fun stuff, like six flags. Mom and I will probably spend some time at the beach; she usually rents a place for a week." Sue answered. John said, "That's what we do too. I wonder if we could get them to arrange it for the same week. That would be really cool." "Maybe, Mom hasn't set it up yet, so why don't you find out what your parents are doing and let me know," Sue said. Jason said, "I don't know about you, but I'm ready to get back out on the rink. Julie?" "Sure, let's go." With that they cleaned up their table and headed back out to skate. Later that evening, Jason took Julie aside, "John is going to a ball game with his family tomorrow, and Steve has a big birthday bash for his Grandfather's sixty-fifth birthday, do you think we should invite Kathy and Sue to hang out with you and Kelly tomorrow?" "I think they would like that, and it would be a good time, since the guys are busy elsewhere. You sure Kathy isn't going with Steve?" "Yeah, I asked him, and he said it's at some fancy expensive restaurant, and he was told that they really could not afford to invite her." "Ahh. It's your call. They know about Kelly and they really would like to meet her. Of course, Kathy is going to want to meet Michele. She was already jealous of my new look." "Well, that is not going to happen tomorrow, but I will see what I can do. By the way, what did you tell your Mom about that?" "Oh that a friend of your Aunt's is a makeup specialist, and that she was having some fun with your mother, and did a free makeover for me, while she was at it. I told her that you were bored to tears, although you had to admit I looked pretty nice after she was done. I also told her that she made up a gift for me, because she had so much fun. Mom was kind of jealous. She said, next time, call her and she'll pop right over." "Oh that would be good. Then I'd have to be the jealous one, since I would have to sit and pretend to be bored." "Poor Jason..." Julie laughed. Then she said, "I'll ask Kathy and Sue about tomorrow." "Sounds good." Chapter 35 The next day, Julie was over at Jason's house early. Julie wanted to make sure that Jason looked his best for when Kathy and Sue first met Kelly. They added the extensions into Jason's hair, and then set it as close as they could to the way that Michele had done it. When they were done, Julie said, "Damn Kelly, I cannot believe how much different that makes you look. Kathy and Sue are not going to believe that it's really you." About noon, Kathy's mom dropped Kathy and Sue off at the Anderson's, on her way to work. She watched from the car to see Jason's mom open the door, wave hello, and let the girls in, before pulling out of the driveway. Once inside they met up with Julie who told them to wait in the family room. A few moments later, Julie came into the family room with Jason. Julie said, "Kelly, let me introduce you to my friends, Kathy and Sue." "Is that really Jason?" Kathy said. "No, it is really Kelly," Julie said. "Oh... I'm sorry, Kelly, that is going to take a little getting used to, but wow, you look good." Sue nodded in agreement, and said, "You don't have to worry about us telling Steve or John, if they saw you dressed like that, we could lose them." Jason blushed, but said, "Sue, that is very sweet of you, but I know that I don't look half as good as the three of you. But even if it were true, which it is not, you would have nothing to worry about, because I'm already taken, by Julie." They popped some CD's in so that they could sit around and talk. "Kelly, Sue and I are here and we intend to treat you just like any other girl. But we are going to need at least one promise from you first." "I guess that depends on what you are asking me to promise," Jason said. "If we are going to treat you like a girl, that means you are going to hear us talk about things that we would only share with other girls, and that means that anything you hear as Kelly, you need to keep to yourself when you are with the boys as Jason. We will also expect that things you hear as Jason, that are meant to be between the boys, you won't share as Kelly." Kathy said. "I have no problem with that, with the exception of, if I heard about someone doing something to intentionally hurt someone," Jason said. "I think that is fair," Sue said, "I would want you to try to stop something like that." Kathy nodded her acceptance then said, "Do you mind if we ask you some questions. We are really curious, but it's ok if you don't want to talk about it." "I don't mind. If I'm not comfortable answering, I'll let you know," Jason answered. "Do you want to be a girl, or do you just like dressing like one?" Sue asked. "I'm not sure. The time that I get to spend as Kelly is really wonderful. When I get dressed, I can feel myself relax and just get comfortable with myself. When I'm Jason, I feel more ... tense and like I have to watch what I do and what I say, so that people don't see Kelly in me. I think a lot about how wonderful it would be to actually be a girl. At the same time, I know that I can never really be biologically a girl on the insides. There are surgeries and medicines I could take to help me look and feel more like a girl, and I do think about them, but they scare me. The thought of cutting off my, well you know, is kind of scary, though there are times when I would do it in a minute, if I could. Then again, someday I want to be a parent and I need that part of me for that to happen. Plus, if Julie and I somehow manage to stay together, till we are old enough, she might have something to say about that as well." "Kelly that will be your call, if we are still together, we will work it out. I guess I wasn't able to hide how I felt from Kathy and Sue, there is no doubt that I like the way girls look. But I always thought that a girls, well you know down there, is gross. But if we are still together at that time and you need to have that surgery to make you look like a girl down there, I think I can get past that." "Ok, but why do you think you feel this way?" Kathy asked. "I wish I could answer that. I just do. Dr. Daniels tells me there are lots of theories. Some suggest that it's all controlled by the way the brain is wired. Apparently, studies suggest that transgendered men have brains that look more like women's brains. I don't know; I just know it feels right." Sue looked thoughtful, "Even with surgery though, like you said, you can never be fully female. You can't get pregnant; you don't have to deal with a period." Julie jumped in, "Sue! ..." Sue looked at Julie and said, "Julie, wait. Look those things are so much a part of being female. Kelly I don't mean to sound condescending, because I want to be supportive, but what do you think about that. I want to understand." "Julie, it's ok. I told them I would answer their questions, and it is a fair question." "No, Kelly it isn't. Are women that have gone through menopause still women? They can't get pregnant, and they don't have periods. Sue would not say they were not fully women," Julie said indignantly. "Of course not, but they spent most of their lives dealing with it. It's not the same," Sue answered. "Sue, there are also women that for various reasons cannot have children and there are some medical problems that can cause a women to never have a period. You still would not question it," Julie said. "Julie, I don't know. I really don't. There is more to being a woman than periods and worrying about being a baby time bomb, but I don't know. I just want to know what Kelly thinks about it. I am not trying to attack her," Sue stated. "Sue. I don't have an answer for you. I am jealous of you all because someday you can have children. I know what a period is, from health class, but I have no real understanding of what it means to you as women to have to deal with it every month. I know enough to know that it is unpleasant. But let me ask you a question, if you could take a magic pill, and wake up male tomorrow and never have to deal with another period, would you?" "No. Periods are a nuisance, but I like being female. I don't want to be a guy," Sue said. "Whereas, I'm sure that if I could take that pill to make me fully female, I would do it in a minute; I would deal with the nuisance too." Sue nodded, saying, "I see. Alright Kelly I understand." Sue got up, went over to Jason and gave him a hug. "Kelly, you are as much a girl as I am." Kathy picked up the discussion, "Kelly that's interesting; you said you were not sure about surgery, but you wouldn't hesitate to take a pill?" "No. The hypothetical pill would make me completely female, without any of the negatives from surgical solutions." "What if you found that you really preferred being male afterwards?" Kathy said. "It would still be worth it to finally know. Part of my problem is that I have this incredible desire to know what it feels like to be female. What is it like to have real breasts, and to have a pus ... I mean vagina instead of a penis down there. You know you girls actually have an advantage; you know what it was like to not have breasts. For me it's like this incredible itch that I can never scratch. Hell yes, if I had the opportunity to really know, I would jump at it. Sorry Julie, you might as well know that now. God knows what they will come up with in our lifetime." "It's ok Kelly. Hell, maybe I'd take the male pill if you take the female pill. I like being female, but if you got any prettier..." "Ok, ok... ladies, enough..." Kathy laughed. "So Kelly, when are we going to get to meet this wonderful makeup specialist? I love makeup, and you and Julie had makeovers without me!" "I don't know Kathy, but I will ask my Aunt if we can have another session sometime with Michele." Julie said, "Well if we are done grilling Kelly, how did you do today, did you find your dress for the dance?" "Yes, it's great. Mom wouldn't let me bring it in to show you, but it's perfect." "You should see the little black dress Kelly has; I wish she could wear it to the dance. She looks so hot in it," Julie said. "I wish! I'll be stuck with a boring dress shirt, slacks and a blasted tie," Jason said. "I'd rather wear a tie then pantyhose," Kathy said. "I'd put up with pantyhose to wear the dress," Jason replied. "Well, you have to show us this dress then," Sue said, and Kathy immediately chimed in with her agreement. Jason soon succumbed to peer pressure and went up and changed into his black dress. When he came back down, Kathy and Sue just stared dumbfounded, and Julie laughed at them. "See I told you, it really is a shame she can't go to the dance that way. I would love to have her on my arm, wouldn't that cause an uproar?" "Oh yes, it certainly would," Kathy answered. "Kelly, if anyone ever questions your being a girl, they could not have seen you like that," Sue said. "Thanks. Now, I'm feeling remarkably overdressed, so if you don't mind, I'm going to go get changed back." "Go ahead Kelly," Julie told him. When he was gone, Julie said, "You two ok? I'm sorry that I couldn't tell you before, especially about me. I hated keeping it a secret, but I really care about Jason, and I don't want him hurt." "Jules, we meant it. We are happy you have found someone to make you happy. We liked Jason right from the start, but now that we have seen him as Kelly, I can see how much she is a part of him. If he tried to suppress her, it would kill him. We're going to do whatever we can to help." "Thanks Kathy; thanks Sue," Julie said, giving them both hugs. Jason walked back in and said, "Hey, where is mine!" Julie went over and gave him a big hug too. They spent the rest of the day listening to music, talking and just hanging out. They got on the Anderson's computer and had Jason create a screen name for Kelly, so that she could join in their online chats, since time for the four of them to spend together, with Jason as Kelly, would be limited; it would seem a little strange for them to be over at Jason's house without John and Steve, on a regular basis. In Jason's dreams that night, he was at the dance with Julie, in his black dress, walking on clouds. Chapter 36 Julie and Jason walked into the school gym with John, Sue, Kathy and Steve. The gym was decorated with balloons and streamers and a sign that wished the graduating eighth graders luck in high school. A DJ was up on the stage and there were refreshments along one wall. There were a few couples and a few more girls out on the floor dancing to a fast paced song, but most of the boys were congregated over by the refreshments, and most of the girls were gathered up by the stage. The three couples went right out on the floor and danced together. After the first couple of songs, they took a break. Jason, John and Steve went up to get drinks for themselves and the girls. Julie went up to the DJ and put a request in for a slow love song and also an older big band tune, the DJ was a bit surprised but agreed to play them soon. As they cooled off with their sodas, Julie told them to get ready to show off. They had practiced quite regularly and all three couples were now pretty good together. They were ready and headed straight out to the floor when the DJ played their first selection. They were the only people on the floor, and everyone was watching them very closely. When the second selection came and they got into the swing of the song doing some fancy moves, the crowd got into it and was clapping to the beat of the music. When the song was over, they walked off to the applause of their classmates. "Whew that was fun!" Julie said, as they got in line for some drinks. Jason noticed Brad on the opposite wall glaring at him. However, the party was well chaperoned and Brad couldn't really do anything more than glower. Jason just made sure to stay away from him as much as possible. Several of the other students came up to them and asked where they had learned to dance like that, and they freely shared that Julie had taught them. Later that evening, Jason and the three girls had set up a private chat room and were discussing the evening. "Well I hope you all enjoyed that as much as I did" Jason wrote. "I know I did!" Sue replied. "Me too," Kathy added. "It was great. I just wish you could have been there as Kelly. You were quite handsome, but you're beautiful in your black dress. The guys would have been quite jealous and you would have been with me," Julie said. "I would have liked that as well, I'm sorry that you did not get to have your wish. I know how good that feels though, because you were beautiful and the guys were all jealous that you were with me." "Especially Brad," Kathy said. "Yeah, did you see him; if looks could kill you would be dead," Sue said. "I saw him and I stayed as far away from him as I could. I was glad when he decided to leave. I was also glad that Mom was picking us up so we didn't have to risk walking home," Jason answered. "Well that's enough about Brad. Kelly, you all ready for next week?" Julie said. "Yes. How about you?" Jason replied. "Yup. I can't wait, two whole weeks with my girlfriend Kelly is very cool," Julie said. "It's going to be fun. I'm looking forward to it." "Julie told us that you got a really cute one piece suit, Kelly. I wish we could all go together," Sue added. "I like my new suit. I wish I could get away with wearing a bikini like Julie's, but it will have to do," Jason said. "You are really going to be Kelly the whole time?" Kathy asked. "That's the plan. The lake house is really secluded; we don't typically see a whole lot of people, unless we head into town. We will bring one boy's outfit just in case, but we are not planning on using it." Jason said. "Damn! Mom is yelling at me. I have to go; it's still a school night," Sue said. "Me too." Kathy said. "I'm afraid I do to," Jason said. They all said goodnight and logged off. Chapter 37 Julie splashed Jason and dove under the lake water. "Hey!" Jason said and dove under the water after her. When he caught her, he grabbed around her waist and pulled her to him. They came up for air, and Julie gave him a quick kiss. They climbed out and sat on the edge of the wooden dock. On the other side of the dock, a small motorboat named Kristine was tied to the dock. "Kelly, this is great! I am so glad you invited me." "I'm glad you were able to convince your mother to let you come. I wasn't sure she would go for it." "I don't think she would have, but she trusts your Mom and Dad to make sure we don't do anything stupid." "I'm sure she trusts you too," Jason said. "Well probably, but I'll admit it, if it were not for your parents, I might do something we might regret." "I hear you. Well, we should be good about that, but it doesn't mean we have to be perfect angels." "My word Kelly, I do believe you just might be trying to seduce me," Julie winked. "Who me? I'm a good girl, really I am," Jason laughed. "You most certainly are. You look good in that suit." "Thanks, but nothing compared to you." "Don't sell yourself short, you look good. I doubt anyone would be able to tell that there is more to you than meets the eye," Julie said seriously, then added, "That trick that Michele taught you really helps to hide your, you know what." Jason blushed, and to change the subject said, "So you want to stay out here and swim some more, or something else?" "Well, I'd like to get a bit of sun, but you really shouldn't tan. However with that 50 SPF, it would take quite a bit for you to tan, but you still need to take care because you will still tan, even with sun block, especially if you spend too much time in the sun." "No problem, I'm putting my wrap on." Julie laid out her towel on the dock in the sun, and put on her sunglasses, lying on her back. Jason sat in a lounge chair under a deck umbrella and opened up a book. A bit later, Jason's Mom and Dad came down with a pitcher of lemonade and some cookies. "Hey, how is it going down here?" Jason's mother asked. Julie sat up and took off her sunglasses. "Great. This place is wonderful, thank you so much for inviting me to come with you." "It's our pleasure my dear," Jason's father answered, than he asked, "How is the water?" "Nice, Dad. Maybe a little cool, but once you are in its refreshing," Jason said. Jason's dad, acknowledged it, took off his shirt, and jumped into the lake. When he came to the surface, he said, "Phew... you call that a little cool?" He then swam out to a buoy about 20 yards out in the lake and then back. He climbed back onto the dock and sat in another chair near Jason. "So what do you two want to do the next couple of weeks?" Richard asked them after a while. "Julie, have you ever water skied?" "No, I haven't," she answered. "Not today, it is a bit late, but maybe tomorrow we'll go out on the lake. It's fun if you want to give it a try." "Sure, I'd like to give it a try," Julie answered. "Kelly, are you still going to go fishing with me or are you going to give up on fishing," Jason's father asked him. "Dad, you know I love to go fishing with you, why would you think I wouldn't want to?" Jason asked with a puzzled look on his face. "I don't want to make any assumptions, Kelly. Jason liked to fish, but I'm still getting to know my daughter Kelly. Besides, you have a guest." Jason frowned, "Dad, I'm still me. I like the same things I always liked and that isn't going to change. As for Julie, I don't know if she likes to fish, but if she wants she is welcome to come with us, if she doesn't, I'm sure she can find something else to do or more likely she can enjoy sleeping in." "Kelly, I'm just checking," Jason's father said. "Dad, you never asked that when John or Steve were here with us. You and I have gone fishing in the mornings ever since I was old enough to hold a fishing rod when we were here at the lake. You know I have always looked forward to it. John and Steve were welcome if they wanted, or not if they didn't. Why do you all of a sudden feel that would change?" Jason said. "Because you aren't Jason anymore. You're this girl I don't know. I just don't know how to respond to all of this, I'm sorry. You know I'm trying to be supportive, damn it, but it's too much too fast sometimes. You and your mother agreed that this whole trip you would be Kelly, I haven't tried to fight that, but forgive me if I have trouble knowing how to react to it. I'm doing the best that I can, so just don't take it the wrong way." "How would you like me to take it Dad? Because I'm a girl I shouldn't like to fish? Are you worried that I'm going to be squeamish about worms all of a sudden? This is who I am Dad, I've always been Kelly, you and Mom just didn't know it." "Kelly! ... Damn, I'm sorry, look I did not mean it that way. I know that many girls like to fish, your Aunt Sally for instance even Jessica enjoyed it when she was younger. But you are changing Kelly, you have interests that you didn't have before and that may mean that you'll lose interest in the older things. Look at you, standing there! All I see now is a pretty girl, I know that Jason is still there somewhere, but you look so different the way you are dressed, it is hard." Jason took a deep breath, while his mother and Julie looked on. "Dad, I'm still me. This is who I am. I have never felt so ... I don't even know how to describe it ... at peace, I guess, with who I am in my whole life. I can't help it, that's how I feel. If I could throw a penny in the well, make a wish and have it come true, I would wake up tomorrow with real breasts and a vagina and I would've always been Kelly. I know that is not going to happen. In fact, what is going to happen is my body is going to start to change even more, this damned body hair that is still mostly light, is going to get darker and thicker, especially on my face. My voice is going to finish changing and my Adam's apple is going to become pronounced. I still look ok today without too much help, but not much longer and I hate it, Dad, I just hate it. My goddamned body is betraying me. I don't want to grow up to be a man! I'm sorry that hurts you. I see it in your eyes whenever you are looking at me and you think I'm not watching, you don't know how much it hurts to know how much I've disappointed you. ... Damn." With that Jason broke down and started to cry and then ran into the house to his room. Julie was the first to react and ran into the house after him. His father started in as well, but Jason's mother stopped him. "Richard, this is not going to go away." "I know Kris. I have known that for weeks. I was not trying to attack him. Really I wasn't. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm doing the best I can." Kristine sighed, and said. "I know you are. I don't know what to do either. I didn't realize how much he was worrying about the changes his body is going through. I know I was hoping that he would grow out of it as he went through puberty, but I really don't believe that is going to happen. And if that is the case, he's right; his body is about to make things much harder for him. If things go the way I really think they're going to go, the changes he's going through are going to make that so much more difficult. There just isn't much time left before that happens and it is too soon to make any decision like this. He needs more time, but his body isn't going to give it to him." "No, it isn't." "Unless we do something to give him more time," Kristine said. "What do you mean?" Richard asked. "I've been doing a lot of reading, as you know. There is a relatively new treatment option. There are some medicines that can delay puberty. The process is reversible, but it is still controversial. It would buy him time." "That seems pretty drastic. Is it safe?" "Cutting his penis off is drastic, but ultimately that may be what happens. This is far less drastic and is at least reversible. From what I have read it appears to be safe. I don't even know if we could get his doctors to approve it, but I think we have to talk to them about it and soon." Jason's father looked resigned and nodded his agreement. "We better go in and talk to him." "Richard." "Yes?" "We better go in and talk to her," Kristine said. "I'm sorry; yes you're right, we better go in and talk to her," he replied. They walked into the house and knocked on Jason's door. They could hear him still crying and Julie trying to comfort him. After a moment, they heard Jason say, "Come in." They opened the door and saw Jason lying on the bed, with his head on Julie's lap. Julie was holding him and caressing his hair and back making soothing sounds. She looked at his parents, particularly his father with barely restrained anger, daring them to make things worse. Jason's father face showed remorse and Julie's expression softened. "Kelly, I'm sorry that you felt attacked; I really did not mean it that way. I know that this is not easy for you either. Your mother and I really need to talk to you about what you just told us, but before we do, I have to tell you again, you are not hurting me, or your mother. We love you and while we don't always understand, that is not going to change. Whatever path you chose, that is not going to change. I can't tell you that I won't miss Jason, but I will love Kelly just as much." Jason's father said. His mother and father sat next to them on the bed, and started to rub Jason's back. Jason sobbed for a few more minutes, finally got himself under control and sat up. "I'm sorry for losing it," he told them. "No, Kelly, I'm sorry," his father said. "Kelly. You are worried about the changes your body is going through?" his mother asked. "It's more like disgusted, than worried. I know what is happening and why, I just don't like it." "I've been doing some reading and there may be something we can do to postpone those changes, while we figure out what is right for you," his mother said. At that Jason and Julie both looked at her with surprise. "Postpone, what do you mean? How?" Jason asked. "There are drugs that can put puberty on hold so to speak. They are reversible, so if you decided you wanted to continue becoming a man you could stop taking them and let nature take its course. But if you ultimately decide to have surgery, then you would start taking female hormones to go through puberty as a girl," his mother explained. "Really, they can do that?" "Yes, from what I have read it is possible. You would still be genetically male, but you would at least avoid having to go through the electrolysis, and your voice will not deepen any further. Also the body fat distribution would be more feminine." "What do we have to do? Would you allow it?" Jason asked. "I don't know; we have to speak with your doctors. If they agree and it is medically safe, then yes, your father and I have already agreed that we would allow it." Kristine looked at Richard, who nodded his agreement. With that Jason reached out and hugged his parents, then turning to Julie, invited her into the group hug.
