Eric 
______________________________________

Eric's heart went out to Ash he could not even try to fathom what kind of abuse he has had to go through with his life in Alabama. He did not have to worry about his family that much, if he really wanted to he could just fly away and go stay with a relative. 

"Well porn does have its uses." He said with a dark chuckle. What dark? Were did that come from. 

"Well I am sad that you had to go through that, my family was cool with me being bisexual, and the only person who was awkward was my dad. But 	I am sure that you will get a great guy who likes you for you, I mean your not ugly Ash, so smile some more ok and stop holding things over your head so much, its not good for you." He said with a smile, the boy still looked stunned, he probably thought that Eric was going to reject him or something. Ash needed a friend, no he needed a brother, and Eric would be that or more if it went in that direction. Something in his heart and soul knew that was the truth. 

Eric got up with pain and sat on Ash's cot and ruffled his hair. "Now breath boy, everybody likes you here, so stop worrying." He said with a smile and a thicker German accent than usual.
