It wasn’t too long after Star, Crista, and Kole arrived at the Vargas house that afternoon, that the three of them joined Sky in the living room to choose a viewing selection before dinner that night. Brie and Connor were slightly surprised that the four had chosen to remain downstairs, but the weekend was still young they supposed, and they would take that surprise happily, while it lasted. The adults moved to the kitchen for their afternoon wine or coffee before dinner preparation, while the teens remained in the next room scrolling through programming options.

Their decision making process was soon interrupted though, by a loud pounding at the front door of the house. That pounding was accompanied by Curt shouting through the door, “get out here, fag!”

They all froze up more than a bit as they looked to Sky, as he was the one among them who had already personally experienced the scope Curt’s wrath only a month earlier, and in such a horrible way. Sky took a deep breath as he got up from the couch they were all sitting close together upon.

Star spoke up first, “you’re not really going to open the door, are you?” she asked with a bit of panic as Sky pushed himself up off the couch.

“Just call the cops” Crista put in pleadingly, “it can’t be legal for him to be at the house of one of his victims, can it?”

“And two of you are actually here” Star corrected, reminding Crista that she had actually been the victim of the original charge, trivial though it seemed next to the eight rape charges.

“All four of us are together, and our parents are in the next room. And he’s still got the cast. What can he do, other than just bitch and threaten us?” Sky shrugged as he took a step toward the door.

“He can still pull a trigger with his left hand, Sky” Star warned him desperately.

“Well good thing you’ve got two other people to help you rewind the world this time then, right?” Sky told her with another shrug as he moved to the door with a deep breath. At that point, the commotion had also brought Connor and Brie from the dining room to the living room as they looked at all the teens questioningly. Though all of them were too tense right then to offer the mads any explanation.

Sky then opened the door and stepped outside thankful that the tiny foyer did make it difficult for one to see much of the living room from the porch. After all, Sky may not have been afraid of being on the receiving end of any bullets himself, but he surely didn’t want Curt to have a chance to take aim at any of the others in the house if he did have that damn gun with him again in this life.

“Pretty sure you’re not supposed to be here” Sky greeted his attacker with as much volume as he could force into his voice right then.

“Gimme the fucking video, fag” Curt bit out angrily.

“Whatsoever do you mean?” Sky returned, trying his best to keep his composure as Star and Crista listened from inside, giving each other a questioning look, as Kole simply looked down, though he now had also moved to a place just inside the other side of the door, out of Curt’s sight, but ready to jump to Sky’s defense, psychically if not physically.

Curt glared back at Sky, teeth clenched, face red with anger, cursing that arm of his once more, “gimme it, or there’ll be nowhere to hide after I get this cast off” he threatened.

“Too late. You already did what you were gonna do to me. And I’m still here. So threaten me all you want. It doesn’t change anything anymore now” Sky told him with an eerie calm, and almost acceptance of whatever Curt planned to do to him next time.

His three companions inside all looked down then as they were once again reminded of Sky’s apathy for any harm coming to himself anymore. He was numb to it at that point. And the fact that he had willingly went out there, it made them fear that he might even possibly welcome it if it would lead to his own death.

Curt just scoffed angrily, “you’re right. I’m already done with you. But if you don’t gimme that fucking video, you won’t even recognize your sister after what I do to her! That other freak’s freak girlfriend got off easy! Star won’t be so lucky!” he growled as Star and Crista both shuddered in their seats on the couch and Kole flinched, biting his lip in anger.

And as the man at the lab pointed out in their last life, that was Sky’s hair trigger right there. He glared back at Curt as the boy began choking and wheezing, and reaching for his throat. That was when Kole quickly stepped out of the doorway and placed a hand firmly on Sky’s shoulder to attempt to stop that psychic assault before Sky found himself being the one locked up in this life too, after murdering Curt with just his mind, yet again.

“He doesn’t have the video, Curt” Kole growled at him, once his touch had broken Sky out of that impulse to murder him right then and there; or at least had broken him out of it, for the moment.

“Well, then you give it to me, you prick” Curt managed using anger to cover his shock and even possible fear, when he was once again able to breathe or talk again, anyway.

That was when Connor stepped through the doorway and glared coldly at their unwanted visitor. “I know I didn’t just hear you threaten my daughter a minute ago, did I?” Connor told him with ice in his tone.

“We’re just having a discussion” Curt retorted as he eyed Connor, “they gimme what I want, and I’ll be on my way.”

Kole interrupted then, “how about this? You never ever touch Star, or Crista, or anyone else and we won’t post that tiny prick of yours all over the internet. How’s that for a deal?” he offered with his own icy tone.

“Maybe I’ll just make sure they can’t talk, after” Curt growled back.

Having made his way to the safe in their in-home office before returning to the living room and stepping outside, Connor then raised his hand, and the revolver he now held, “I will shoot you where you stand, boy. Now get the fuck away from my son, my daughter, their friends, and off my property before I see if they’ll throw me in jail or throw me a parade for ridding the world of you.”

Curt simply glared back. Though when Connor cocked the gun, he quickly headed back down the steps and got back into his car with a slam of the door and a squeal of tires on pavement. Sky then looked back at Connor, “fuck, dad” he exclaimed with a raised brow.

“You’re too young and pretty for jail. I’m not” Connor replied as he gestured for the younger men to follow him inside, “now what’s this about a fucking video?” he asked after he closed and locked the door behind him as everyone in the house sighed in relief before turning to hear that answer as well.

Sky looked down and Kole spoke up, “there’s not really any video. Curt just thinks there is” Kole attempted that ever so brief explanation.

“So, the video that you two are apparently blackmailing him with, doesn’t really exist?” Connor repeated slowly, not sure if that explanation impressed or terrified him. “And is what he thinks is on this phantom video actually so damning that he would agree to your terms? I mean, he hardly seems the type to feel guilty about anything he’s ever done, on camera or off.”

Kole sighed as Sky continued to let him handle that answer too, “he thinks we have a video of him masturbating while he watched two guys having sex” Kole danced around that truth as all the jaws in the room dropped except Sky’s; he just blushed and looked away. Kole added, “so believe me, that’s one thing Curt would never want anyone to see, ever.”

Connor just shook his head, “and why does he think the two of you would have such a video?”

Sky then finally spoke, “do you really want us to answer that?” Of course, that answer just caused both the mads to pale as they looked quickly away from their son and his male lover.

“I guess we could make an actual video exist” Kole smirked as he looked at Sky who just shook his head back at him. Kole then continued more seriously, “but no one will ever have to know this video isn’t real as long as he keeps his hands, and his dick to himself, right?”

They all just shook their heads then, and attempted to go back to their evening, despite how much more tense it had now become for all of them.

Once dinner was finished, the adults were further surprised when the teens returned to the living room instead of upstairs. “So, they’re not here for another orgy this weekend?” Brie whispered to her husband as they began loading the dishwasher, both of them still unaware of the secret of that silver room, despite all the other secrets they had found out about their children since that school year had begun.

“Are you complaining?” Connor returned.

“Just trying to figure out what changed” Brie assured.

“Are we sure anything has, after that comment about the video?” he asked as Brie glared. He then added, “well, their lives have been a little stressed lately” Connor shrugged as she just gave him a doubtful look. He then just sighed, “I have no idea, Brie.”

When the adults passed through the living room about twenty minutes later, they gave the teenagers another slightly puzzled look as they had already turned their attention to the TV. Of course, they were all squeezed onto the couch together, instead of spread out between the sofa and the recliners, so the intimacy between them was still apparently there. Sky and Star were sharing the middle cushion, as they held one another’s hand. Crista was curled up next to Star, and Kole was next to Sky, as Sky’s head lay softly against his shoulder, while Sky’s and Star’s fingers still gently caressed each other’s.

The two parents then gave each other one more wary glance before heading into their own room for the night, sure that if anything would trigger another lust-filled night upstairs, it would have to be their departure from the room.

Though, another half hour passed as the teens silently continued watching the TV screen, despite how far away their minds actually may have been right then, all things considered. That was when Crista looked up at Star, who looked particularly distant, and not exactly relaxed.

“You look very tense” Crista stated the obvious as she gently squeezed Star’s other hand, pulling the cover more tightly around their legs. After all, it was now nearly the middle of October, and the temperatures in the evenings had already started dipping to the forties.

“Imagine that” Star mumbled as Sky gently squeezed her other hand from where he had been holding it since they took their seats.

Crista then looked down the couch at her three lovers who were all trying their best to pay attention to the TV instead of the millions of thoughts racing through their ever so powerful brains. Thoughts about the future and Curt, and continuing their mind games, and dealing with his return to school, and wondering if the blackmail would work; and a million other things.

Taking it upon herself to at least try and put a dent in that tension, Crista reached under the cover, and placed her hand on Star’s bare thigh below the hem of the skirt she wore that day. “Yes?” Star asked as she looked over at the younger girl.

“I didn’t say anything” Crista smirked as she turned her eyes back to the TV, but didn’t remove her hand from the other girl’s even paler skin beneath that warm blanket and out of sight of anyone else either in the room at the moment, or who might pass through again later.

Star just shook her head and tried to return her own attention back to the TV as well then. Though, that plan was doomed to fail as Crista then moved her hand upward until it reached Star’s panties, causing the older girl to bite back a small smile at last.

“Do we need to go... somewhere?” Star asked Crista as the two boys at the other end of the couch then looked at the two girls curiously.

“But we’ll miss the next episode. It’s a good one” Crista teased as she didn’t look back at Star, though still slid her fingers inside her panties causing the slightest gasp in Star as she bit back another smile and tried to keep her gaze on the screen in front of them.

Though Star’s attempts to keep her eyes on the screen did take a further hit as Crista slid her fingers inside her and caused her to have to bite back another gasp. That was when Sky and Kole looked back at her again. Sky spoke then, “you all right over there?” he had to ask.

“Fine” Star answered a little breathlessly as Crista’s fingers began moving inside her under that cover, causing her breath to become a bit ragged.

“O...k” Sky replied as he looked back at where Kole just wore a questioning smile as well.

Then Crista upped the ante and began caressing Star outside as well, as the older girl whimpered slightly and tilted her head back to try and regain her composure.

“Still fine?” Sky had to ask as he and Kole continued to look at the girls curiously while Star’s hand squeezed Sky’s even tighter as she tried to bite back that next quiet moan.

“Getting better” Star whispered through broken breaths as Crista continued watching the TV with a guilty smile.

“Where’s your other hand, Crista?” Kole had to ask, though in a whisper, as his questioning look turned into a smirk as he noted that that hand was indeed hidden from view under the cover.

“I’m sure I have no idea what you could be implying” Crista smirked back, and let her thumb rub against Star again as Star’s body began to shake as she bit back another moan and her nails dug ever so slightly into Sky’s hand.

Kole and Sky couldn’t help allowing their own chuckles then as it became obvious exactly what was going on under that cover at the moment. Kole then just had to speak up, “yeah, I think the weekend has officially begun.”
