The What If    If Ross's parents had never died in a car accident, he would have become a mechanic, and lived an average life.    Jason would have been arrested for murder in his later twenties, as he would have gotten sloppy without Ross's help.    Aaron would never have been kidnapped, and he would have eventually married Ivy.    Danny would have still been with the Pastor, and possibly would have been killed by him, as Aaron wouldn't have been as protective of Danny. Best case scenario for Danny would have been to leave the Pastor disabled with PTSD, living out the rest of his life with his parents on disability.    Jacob and Nick would still get together, but much later, as it would take Nick a year into college to realize he liked men.    Without Aaron, Tie would have eventually started dating Liam, and Liam would still have quit, since he can't control himself when he is in love. Well that’s it guys! I will be finishing up a Fantasy story as quick as I can before starting my next BL (Outline is already in progress!). I’ll be trying to give weekly updates from now on so wish me luck, I do want to keep everyone that follows me informed.

   Oddly enough, Ross had an average childhood. He grew up in a middle class family, and was an above average student. However, that changed rapidly when Ross turned fourteen. His mother and father were killed in a car accident, and whit no other living family nearby, Ross was sent to live with his aunt and uncle down south.    Ross hated it. He hated the new city, he hated his new school, and he hated his cousin, Jason. For what it was worth, Jason hadn't done anything to Ross, he even liked him, but he still gave Ross a lot of space.    It didn't take long for Ross's grades to plummet, and he started refusing to even go to school. Instead of disciplining him, his uncle decided school would be a waste of Ross's time, and had him get his GED. With this in hand, Ross started working with his uncle in the renovation business he ran.    Ross still had a lot of pent up rage and anger, but using the hard labor as an outlet, he seemed to calm him down. His uncle realized rather quickly that Ross had a head for business and started teaching him the finer details of how the company was run. He did not do this for his own son, Jason, simply because Jason showed no interest in the business.    At first, Ross figured it was because Jason was an idiot, but the longer he stayed with his aunt and uncle, the more he noticed something was wrong with Jason. Ross would notice Jason watching the girls across the street, and one night he noticed Jason was missing from his bed.    Ross thought that was strange, but didn't realize what Jason was doing until he discovered several pairs of girls underwear hidden under Jason's mattress. When Ross brought it up with Jason privately, Jason didn't try to hide anything and told him he stole them at night from the neighbor girl's room.    Ross explained to Jason that it wasn't okay to do that and that he could get in a lot of trouble for doing it. Ross was more disgusted than anything, and it just further proved to him that his cousin was a freak.    Jason shrugged it off and had said he'd find other ways to have fun then and left it at that.    Jason's reaction concerned Ross, since he wasn't sure what his cousin had meant. He soon figured it out. Later that night, Jason tried pinning Ross to his bed. Luckily for Ross, he had five years on Jason, and easily kicked him off. Ross beat the hell out of Jason, and told him that if he ever touched him again, he'd kill him. That was the one and only time Jason looked afraid.    After the incident, Jason didn't bother Ross, though Ross did notice a lot of the neighbor's pets started disappearing. He woke up one night to Jason burning something in the backyard, but never said or did anything.    Ross ignored his cousin and focused on the business more when his uncle was diagnosed with cancer. Slowly, Ross ended up running everything on his own as his uncle's health diminished. He died when Ross was twenty-two years old. His aunt had been beside herself, so Ross took over the bills. Jason didn't seem to notice, as he was focusing on his senior year of high school.    Ross's aunt committed suicide within two months of her husband's death, leaving Jason in Ross's care. For the most part, this did little to change their day to day lives, as both of them were too focused on their own lives to notice the loss of someone else's.    Despite having a cold personality, Ross had little trouble wooing women, and often went out to bars after work. He never kept them for very long as he would yell, and occasionally hit them, when he was drunk. Everyone left him eventually, so Ross never even noticed when one of his girls would leave and never return.    It wasn't until one bad fight with one girl, that Ross truly lost his temper. The pair had been screaming at each other as they always had, but, in his drunken rage, Ross threw her down the basement stairs. It wasn't until he heard the loud snapping sound as she went down that he realized he had screwed up.    Ross didn't check on her right away. Instead, he closed the door, sat at the kitchen table, and played solitaire until he sobered up. Once he was sober, Ross went down the stairs with a strange hope that she had simply broken her leg and passed out.    His hope quickly diminished when he saw her in a puddle of blood at the bottom of the stairs. In a trance like state, Ross had straightened her out and set her head right before sitting on the steps, watching her lifeless form.    He couldn't say how long he sat that way, but eventually he heard movement above him. Jason was at the top of the stairs, smiling at him. He seemed pleased that Ross had finally hurt someone. Jason laughed, and brought a large blanket down the stairs and reassured Ross that he would help him take care of it, but, in return, Ross had to help him as well. Ross had quickly agreed, as he had no idea how he was going to deal with the mess he'd gotten himself into.    Jason wrapped the body up in the blanket and had Ross help him put it in the back of Ross's van. Jason then drove them several miles out of town, and showed him a small abandoned house.    They carried the body into the house, and Ross vomited so suddenly it took him a moment to realize while he'd gotten sick. The whole house smelled like rotting meat. Jason didn't notice and asked Ross to open the cellar door. The smell was worse than Ross could imagine. A morbid curiosity made him look into the cellar, and he suddenly realized where some of his girlfriends had gone.    Jason tossed the newest addition down into the mass grave, shut the door, and led Ross back out to the van. They were quiet on the drive home, but Ross realized what Jason wanted from him. Ross had no trouble attracting women, but Jason couldn't attract flies.    That was how their 'partnership' started. As the years passed, Ross became more jaded to what they were doing, and their technique slowly evolved. One fact never changed: Ross was terrified of Jason. Ross never forgot the one time Jason had tried to pin him down, and he had been lucky enough that Jason had only been ten at the time.    As they aged, and Jason grew larger than Ross, he wondered if Jason ever realized how easy it would have been for him to pin down and overpower Ross. For this reason alone, Ross continued to be with Jason as he did until his death at forty-one.
