Author's note: This story takes place after Jayden has chosen to date no one. Jayden has just finished helping Leroy and Aldo get together and is leaving the park to head home. That’s where the story comes into place with Sam Hell, the Devil Boy intervening and catching Jayden alone, still hurt from yesterday’s war. Notice the title change.

Jayden can still hear Aldo and Leroy kissing behind him, and he grins knowing that Leroy is finally getting the boy that he has always wanted. Jayden might be alone, but his rejoices for his friend, and he knows that deep down he will be okay. He’s heading toward the bench to wait for Gino, but is steamrolled by an unexpected visitor…Sam Hell, also known infamously on any playground in the city of Bartlet as Devil Boy.

“Well, well, well look who I found,” Sam gloats bumping into Jayden.

Jayden staggers on his crutches but manages to stay upright. “What do you want Hell?” demands Jayden his eyes icy.

“I still owe you for yesterday,” Sam Hell says clinking his leg bracelet against Jayden’s crutch.

Looking down Jayden sees the police ankle monitor, and grins. “Maybe you should stop breaking the law then,” Jayden suggests smugly.

“That’s the last time I can, or I go to big boy jail.”

“Better watch your step then,” Jayden advises narrowing his eyes.

“Oh, I will. Unlike you who really needs to, how’s your ankle? Looks all sore. I’ll make sure that you get crippled in two weeks, and even though it won’t be me who faces you, I will guarantee that Dougie boy makes you beg for mercy,” Sam Hell growls, spit flying as he leans threateningly into Jayden. “Doug has it in for you Jayden.”

“Get bent,” Jayden says and starts to walk away. Sam Hell grabs one of Jayden’s crutches.

“Where do you think you’re going? We aren’t done yet,” Sam Hell snarls his red eyes even brighter in daylight flashing warningly. “I owe you a beat down, and I plan on filling up a little flask to give to your brother with your juices inside.”

Jayden’s heart skips a beat, and he licks his dry lips thinking fast. “There’s teachers…”

“Too far away, and they will never hear you. Besides, don’t you remember who my bunk mate is? Your ex little Bill, who’s heart you crushed today.”

Jayden pauses considering, “It’s complicated, and not something I am going to discuss with you.”

“Well, I get to have that discussion with him, and every day moving forward. I live with him, and if I don’t get to get even with you Bill might just have a little accident. How does that Jayden, should Bill have a little accident?”

“You wouldn’t!” Jayden protests.

“Accidents happen every day, but they can be devastating. You don’t want to Bill to get hurt, would you?”

Jayden closes his eyes, praying for internal strength. “Okay, where are we doing this,” Jayden asks.

“I have a car, follow me cripple,” Sam smiles, showing his white teeth, his thin red lips curling.

Reluctantly, Jayden follows, his head looking downcast and defeated as he slowly walks behind him towards the parking lot. “You don’t own a car,” Jayden says.

“Doesn’t mean that I don’t have one. I have many talents Jayden, and if you joined me you would have learned that being poor can be fixed…”

“By breaking the law and stealing things. I don’t need anything that badly,” Jayden says.

“Not yet, when you do; you will sing a different tune, ” Sam says darkly.

“You don’t need this, you can walk,” Jayden says getting into the front passengers seat of a red Toyota. “You do know that red cars stick out more, right?”

“True on both counts, but red matches my eyes. I was born to stand out Jayden,” Sam Hell states, flicking the lock button and Jayden can see that Devil Boy true to his nature has removed all buttons for the windows, and removed the handle to exit the vehicle.

“That’s a bit excessive,” Jayden says rolling his eyes.

“Shut up, and buckle your seat belt. It’s time for the final ride,” Sam Hell says lacing his voice with dark intentions.

“Back to the metal cage wrestling ring,” Jayden asks.

“Nope that outfit already moved their location, we are going to their new one. Once they heard my name, Devil Boy I instantly was put into their extravagant wrestling league,” Sam Hell explains driving down main straight and then some side street before heading to the other side of the docks into the warehouse district.

“I bet they eat up your act,” Jayden says shaking his head. “So why keep coming back to me?” Jayden asks.

“It may surprise you to know Jayden, I enjoy torturing you quite a bit.”

“Figures, I have the worst luck in that regard,” Jayden says running his hands through his short brown hair in aggravation.

Chuckling Sam Hell drives a bit further until he finds the location that he is looking for sliding into an open space. Turning the car off he shepherds Jayden inside who walks slowly towards their destination not looking forward to what the Devil Boy has instore for him.

“Wait until you see the ring,” Sam Hell grins his red eyes flashing as he pulls the door open.

Cautiously, Jayden moves in front of Sam Hell as he enters the building dread filling his core. Stopping in the doorway Jayden gapes at the sight before him, as Sam leans into his back and from behind his shoulder he whispers into his ear he whispers, “Like it?”

Only one cage is present, but in it are everyone he knows are chained to the sides, every boy from his brother Gino, to all of his ex-swim teammates are chained up, but the blood pouring down from in-between their legs gives him a start and he screams.

“Jayden, Jayden wake up!”

***

Jayden’s eyes burst open and he looks up at the sun in confusion, slightly delirious with the taste of metallic in his mouth. Gino continues to shake him on the school bench looking at him in concern, passerby’s have stopped to watch his screaming in his nightmare has made his previous classmates curious.

“You’re okay, it was just a nightmare,” Gino says reassuringly, pulling him into a tight embrace his arms strong and powerful pull him into his chest.

Jayden closes his eyes trying to get his worst fears to vacate his mind as he digs his fingers into Gino’s sides clutching him back which such intensity that he shudders against Gino’s chest.

“It was awful,” Jayden manages to say into his brother’s shoulder, he wipes his mouth and sees a bit of blood. “I think that I bit my tongue,” the images of that cage still flash before him each time he closes his eyes, and the laughter from the Devil Boy haunting him.

“I could tell,” Gino says looking concerned. “But whatever you were dreaming of, it’s over now. I’m going to take you home. Your leg okay? Can you walk? I have tissues in the truck.”

Jayden nods, and Gino pulls away leaving one hand protectively over his shoulder. “Then let’s go home.” He smiles, getting to his feet and leading Jayden to his truck.

That was... The darkest story yet!

Dear Anonymous,

It really was. It was my hardest to write. One more to go, and then all of the power is in your hands along with the other readers to make a really big consequential decision!

Sincerely,

Jimmy

Holy shit! I do not want this one to win! Sam Hell is so vile. Bill is stuck with living with that? Poor kid.

Did... DID SAM HELL REALLY JUST DID THAT? I mean, I know it was just a dream so even if this wins (WHICH I HOPE TO GOD IT DOESN'T) I guess Gino and all of Jayden's friends packages getting turned into paste isn't Canon, but like, it was still SUPER dark! And yes, I have expressed my hatred of Bill for some time now, but, I don't know if he deserves to live with this maniac! (Okay, maybe he does deserve it a little, but I wouldn't want his baby nuts to get squished into mush by this maniac!)

Dear Anonymous,

It's a choice, but judging by everyone's reactions so far, it does not appear to be anyone's first choice. Potentially we are in the clear!

I will absolutely be shinning a light into Bill's home life soon and you will get to see what's going on in the house with his new foster brother's!

Dear Anon Uno,

If this one gets chosen, Jayden will absolutely be having this weird and horrifying nightmare. It won't be his reality, but I have a storyline to go with his nightmare; and as you can see it would be a dark story indeed.

Bill is certainly in a pickle. As I mentioned above I will be showing off just how much of one very soon. Bill's family life will be getting examined in detail soon. That depends how soon though depending on the vote!

Thanks for taking the time to write in my friend!

Sincerely,

Jimmy

One story left "The End" and then the big vote!

I can't wait to see what you think of the finale of the story!

Sincerely,

Jimmy

Dear Anonymous,

You will absolutely being seeing more of Devil Boy. Sam Hell has become a real threat to our boys, moreover him living with Bill is going to be bringing him more directly into the lives of Gino and Jayden and those that they care about most! I'm super happy anonymous that you are enjoying him in our little saga!

Sincerely,

Jimmy
