A/N: Thanks for the reviews. Sorry this update took so long. Strong Language. Adult scenes. Borrowing MMA Fighters.

Not much time had gone by, but so much had happened. He wasn't the same boy that was Evelyn's Boyfriend. He wasn't sure what to say. He just looked at her.

"Umm….how you doing?" Roy asked.

"Good. Can I come in?" She asked. He nodded and Evelyn came in and sat down. They watched TV and Evelyn asked him all kinds of questions. Like why he'd hadn't called her, and why he'd barely spoken to her at school. "I know you want Guy time with Burke, Roy. But….I'm your girlfriend" She said. "Yeah" Roy said. They arranged to meet up this weekend.

"So...you'll call me right?" Evelyn asked. "Yeah, I'm sorry I've been….off lately" Roy said. She kissed him on the cheek and left. His Mother came into the living room and asked Roy who was there. He answered her.

"Roy you could have asked her to stay for dinner. Evelyn didn't have to go. Call her if you want" His Mother said. Roy nodded, but he didn't. After doing his homework, he wrote a note to Nathan and put it in the barn. As far as Roy knew, he and Nathan were the only ones who went in there. In the note he asked Nathan to meet him at the Miller Hunting Grounds tomorrow.

It was the only way they could have some privacy. Nathan wasn't talking to Roy at school. He couldn't handle seeing Burke and Roy together. He'd taken up sport as a new hobby and had found some new friends.

Nick Diaz and Rory MacDonald were the cool guys in school. They were older athletes and He hung around with them now. Roy noticed the change in Nathan but he couldn't talk to him about it. Diaz and MacDonald wouldn't have been too happy.

"So class, homework is Double division, I want it in by Monday" Mr Lomax said. Roy sighed. Hated Maths. One it was hard, Two, it reminded him of Nathan. In the early days, Nate had offered to help him with his Maths Homework.

They'd stuck together ever since. Roy struggled with his Homework on his own looking forward to meeting Nate tomorrow. Roy counted down the hours. When he got home from School he showered and changed.

He got calls from Burke but for once, he ignored them. Roy had a peaceful sleep that night, dreaming of Nate planning what he was going to say. The things that he was going to do with him. It made his heart beat fast. He woke up in the morning to hear a loud knock on the door. He heard his mother calling his name.

"Roy honey….it's Burke!" His mother shouted. Disappointed Roy got ready for school and met him downstairs.

Roy, come here" Burke said dragging him outside towards the barn. He pushed Roy against the outside wall of the barn and punched him in the stomach.

"Don't ever fucking miss my calls again Roy. I'm watching you" Burke said. To make things worse., Burke invited everyone to the Miller Hunting Grounds for Target practise.

"Come on Roy, are you coming?" His friend Johny asked.

"You bet he is" Burke said. Roy was meeting friends at Six and was planning to meet Nathan at Eight. So hopefully he would have more than enough time. But what if Nathan didn't show up? Or what if he came late?

What if his friends wanted to stay for Three hours instead? There were so many things that could go wrong. After a school-day of his friends pressuring him to go, Roy said that he would.

Roy went to Miller's Hunting Grounds. He had fun, when Burke wasn't checking up on him all the time. They fired at Clay pigeons and Bulls-Eye boards. After returning the guns, they went Burke's house to get beer, and then drank it in the park.

Roy pretended to drink his. It was getting dark and his friends were too drunk to notice. "Roy, my Brother's got new parts for the Four Double Three Lexus. All of us were gonna take it out for a spin so…." Burke started to say.

"Tonight?" Roy asked. All of the Boys nodded. Now Roy realised why Burke hadn't told him until now. More peer pressure. That he couldn't take.

"I've gotta go" Roy said.

"Where?" Burke asked.

"Seeing Evelyn?" Robbie said smiling. Roy nodded. "Roy wait…." Burke said, but he couldn't finish his sentence, Burke's little Brother came towards them and Roy saw this as his chance to escape.

"Burke, Mama wants you back…. right now" His little Brother said. Burke ignored him.

"Roy get back here" Burke shouted. But Roy kept walking then ran when he thought he was far away from them. He went back to Miller's Hunting Grounds and waited outside on the bench. Of course he was worried that Burke would come back. Roy's stomach was still bruised from the punch Burke gave him this morning.

Roy saw a shadow walking towards him. Was it his friends Johny? Martin? Chris? Robbie? Was it Burke? Had he come to punish Roy for running away? As the shadow crept closer, the Security Guard put the motion sensor lights on.

"Hey Nate" Roy said.

Nate's hair looked well brushed. He was wearing a checked shirt and Three quarter lengths with light Grey Trainers. Roy wanted Nate to do something. Hug him. Kiss him on the cheek. Touch him….anything. But Nate just stood there.

"So?" Nate asked.

"Umm…..how are you?" Roy asked. He felt guilty for sounding so awkward. But Nate wasn't making this easy.

"How's Burke?" Nate asked. Roy sighed.

"Nate….I know you feel….like….I picked you over Burke" Roy said standing up. He didn't touch Nate, he didn't want to freak him out.

"But…..I'm doing this for us. I have to hang around with Burke. If I don't…he'll hurt the both of us" Roy said.

"Roy….I've gotta go" Nate said. He started to turn away, and Roy couldn't let him go.

"Nate, wait. Don't be mad at me. Everything I've done with Burke has been to protect you" Roy said. But Nate shook Roy's hands off.

"Nate" Roy said.

"Protect me?...Roy...I saw you" Nate said quietly. Roy looked at him and shrugged.

"What do you mean?" Roy asked. Nate turned his way but didn't look at him. Roy figured he was still pissed off about Burke.

"Nate...what are you talking about?" Roy asked again.

"Roy…..That night...I saw you and Burke in the woods….Together" Nate told him.
