Authors Note: The song I used was "Have A Heart" By Bonnie Raitt.

The Pacifier

By: Pam Marks

Tommy sang an old song under his breath as he walked through the parking lot of Angel Grove mall "Finally. I thought I would never get here." It had been sixteen years since he had been here and it was now eerier seeing the mall had not changed.

"Hey Jason!" Ducking quickly in a small hallway he shut his eyes at the call "He's back. What's he doing back?" Muttering the words under his breath he took a pacifier out of his pocket and lifted it a little bit to his mouth before violently throwing it to the ground.

Peaking out around the corner he didn't see Jason anywhere. Coming out around the corner he hid his face behind his hand and ducked into the gap hurriedly. "Tommy?" Squinting his shoulders at the call of his name he turned to see a husband kiss his wife on the cheek "Thomas you said…" The conversation trailing off as Tommy headed to the back of the store he sniffled a little and ran into one of the dressing rooms located there.

Hey
Shut up.
Don't lie to me
You think I'm blind but I got eyes to see
Hey
Mister, how do you do
Oh pardon me I thought I knew you.
Would you stand back baby 'cause I want to get a better look
The big man who couldn't handle the little bit of love you took

Gulping in a big intake of air he moistened his lips Ok Oliver you are being a big baby. Deciding that what he was doing was crazy he slid off the wall of the dressing room "Jason! My man! Youth Center later?" Shutting the door a crack at Zack's booming voice not that far away he peaked out it as Jason came up to him his shades blazing in the afternoon sun that filtered in the mall from the sun lights on the ceiling.

Cringing Tommy slid back in the dressing room fully his light colored jean jacket falling down his shoulders a little "Help." Tommy muttered as he tip toed back against the wall letting the door close on it's on.

His white tee shirt hugging his form and his boot cut blue jeans hugging his legs and covering his white tennis shoes he let out a sigh "Ok." Getting off the wall he out his brown long hair up in a ponytail again and straightened his jean jacket.

"How long have you been back in town?" Hearing Zack and Jason pass by the door he stiffened.

Pressing his ear to it he listened in "Oh you know a while. Long enough to go see the rents and a few other people. Hey have you seen Tommy around?"

"No not for 16 years. Maybe Kim has."

Hey, hey, have a heart,

Hey, have a heart
If you don't love me, why don't you let me go?
Have a heart, please, oh don't you have a heart?
Little by little you fade while I fall apart.

16 years ago….

"Dad stop it!" Screaming at the pain that erupted through his head and body Tommy screamed as another explosion ripped through the house.

"Oh my God! I am going to die! I just know it!" Screaming he started to deflect blows from his dad, mom and anyone else that might be there delivering them from the shadows.

"AHHHH!" Letting out a scream as his mom's mean words cut through night air and seemed to slice his arm open. Feeling verbal blood seeping down his blue tee shirt he cringed Where's the power when you need it?

With a plop he hit the wall hard and sunk to the floor half unconscious as his dad and mom left the room. Looking at the window he seized up as his dad had cut him off from escaping or leaving long ago with his verbal abuse. "Then die. If you are going to die then die. After all you are just like your mom you can't be wrong!"

Shivering at his dad's yell from down the hallway he hugged himself as he began to slowly rock himself in comfort. Everything had become to much his dad and mom's abuse to everyone else's abuse to everyone else shipping out on him to everyone losing control and seemingly driving there car into a tree.

"Hey baby." Tensing he opened his eyes that he had not even realized he had shut.

Seeing Jason standing over him he stiffened tensed "Jason what are you doing here?"

"Hey. Come on lets go." Grabbing his arm Tommy began to struggle a little.

"Let's go?" Tommy asked unconsciously as blood began to seep from his nose "Yeah let's go." Feeling a cloth placed over his mouth and nose Tommy inhaled sharply.

"Jason! Jason I can't stay…awa…awake. Jason!" Eyes flying wide Tommy came to the heart stopping conclusion that Jason didn't want to make off with him or leave with him. He wanted to kidnap him.

"Jas…" Coughing he shut his eyes by force from the chloroform on the cloth and felt Jason toss him over his shoulder before the stinging night air met him seemingly snapping him awake.

Hey, have, hey a heart, hey, have a heart.
If you don't love me, why don't you let me go
Have a heart, please, oh don't you have a heart
Little by little you fade while I fall apart

"Baby how can you say you should be free and I should pay and pay?" Singing the words under his breath softly from the song that was playing over the loud speaker he shook his head.

5 seconds ago….

"Jason wait up." Running to catch up with his kidnapper that was named Jason he came to a stop when Jason clutched his chest.

It had been a long time since Jason had kidnapped him but on Earth a mere five weeks "Jason." Stampeding out the words he watched helplessly as Jason slumped to the ground unconscious "Jason!" Running to his fallen companion he sniffled as the tears began to make his way down his face as he knew he was gone.

"Jason." Whispering the name of his kidnapper he peaked the door open again he stiffened as Jason's eyes slid to the side as if sensing him.

Oh Oh Oh darling, I love you so
I told you yes, and then you told me no
Baby, how can you say
You should be free and I should pay and pay
And you talk and talk about LOVE and what you need
But sooner or later your love is gonna make me bleed

Hey, hey, have a heart, hey, have a heart
If you don't love me, why don't you let me go
Have a heart, please, oh don't you have a heart
Little by little you fade while I fall apart
Oh, Oh

Talk on, talk on, but love is what you need
And sooner or later that love is gonna make you bleed

Hey, hey, have a heart, hey, have a heart.
If you don't love me, why don't you let me go?
Have a heart, please, oh don't you have a heart?
Little by little you fade while I fall apart.
Oh Oh have a heart
(please)
Hey have a heart

(Please) Hey

Have a heart
