Hay thanks for all the views so far guys!
I was writing this chapter but then deleted it because I felt it was too soon for the two of the main characters to meet. So this chapter is about Jerome when he was twelve so I hope you enjoy.
The bathroom was the safest place in Jerome's house because of his, what he has to call 'Parents' he couldn't cope with them he hid a shard of mirror in the bathroom behind a tile on the wall that neither one of his 'Parents' knew about so when ever he needed his stress taken away.
Jerome made The First cut,
The second,
The Third and so on untill he had ten cuts up his arms. He didn't scream in pain or anything he's been cutting for two years now since he was ten simply because the people who were ment to care and love him, hit him and hated him and he was kept outside in a tent with holes in. He was treated like a dog and was only allowed in if he was good meaning if he didn't run away or didn't make a fuss. He's not even completely toilet trained so he can't tell when he needs to go so he's beaten if he shits in the house or pee's. The only thing he knew in the bathroom was the sink and shower. The most scary place in the world for Jerome as he's afraid of water because of the rain in the middle of the night in the tent which made him ill and made him think all water was bad.
He watched the blood drip down to the floor looking at his naked body because his parents didn't even clothe him. He felt like he had to die until that day.
"JEROME ARE YOU IN THE HOUSE YOU FUCKING STUPID BOY! WE DIDN'T SAY YOU COULD COME IN THE HOUSE!" his dad was standing at the door to the bathroom looking at his son who's blood was staining the designer towels laying on the floor. "YOU FUCKING LITTLE MISTAKE!"
"IS JEROME IN THE HOUSE?" screamed his so called mother to her husband.
"YES AND HE'S GOT BLOOD ALL OVER THE TOWELS!" his farther was furious with him and took the shower head and tried to hit him with it. Suddenly the police barged in to the house.
"MR AND MRS CLARKE YOUR UNDER ARESST FOR CHILD CRUILTY!" was all the officer who was out side with a megaphone. Jerome's neighbour who moved in the day before called the cops as she saw the naked boy in the garden being beaten with a frying pan. It made a huge uproar because Jerome's parents where wanted criminals any way for killing a member of royalty in Africa.
His parents where put in a police car and then a woman with dark hair came in and covered Jerome with a towel, "Hello sweetie, my names Trudy. I'll be taking you some where safe." She comforted the small boy in front of her who hardly had any thing on him he was just flesh and bones but extreamly tanned. "Do you know why?" She asked so soothingly and Jerome gave her a huge hug.
He didn't reply.
"Can you speak?" she asked concerned with a sad smile on her face. Her eyes where like diamonds Jerome couldn't speak he never learnt how to. He only really communicated with pictures.
Jerome took her to the garden and he drew a picture of a small boy who could hear what was going on but his mouth taped up.
"Is that how you talk to people?" she asked with sympathy in her voice.
He drew a picture of a happy boy with someone talking to him to show yes.
"Come on sweetie let's get you some clothes." She had tears in her eyes when she noticed the cuts all down Jerome's arm.
He gave her a smile that was brighter than the sun itself.
When they left his house he noticed a man running away with cars chasing him.
"Don't worry they'll get that horrid man." He gave him a hug and took the boy to the House of Anubis a foster home for children.
Trudy walked into the house and a little boy ran in to see her with the new boy.
"Trudy, Trudy can the new boy share a room with me?" He asked after he looked the boy up and down.
"That depends Alfie?" She said with a loving smile.
"On what?" He asked he was really happy there was a new boy and he needed a room mate or he would be lonely for ages.
"If he can borrow a few of your clothes as he doesn't own any. Only till I go shopping for them tomorrow?" She asked so politely.
"Yes he can now can he be my room mate?" He asked with a big cheesy grin on his face.
"Yes Alfie you can have him as a room mate if he wants to of course?" she asked Jerome the last bit.
Jerome was looking for a stick to draw a happy boy in the mud out side that he passed.
"Oh I'm sorry sweetie, I forgot." She said she was so feeling stupid that she forgotten he can't speak.
"Why not?" Alfie asked.
"Alfie he doesn't know how to speak in word and can only talk with pictures." She explained to the young boy.
"I can teach him please." he asked so hopefully.
"He's like a little baby he doesn't know how to defend himself." she said.
"I'll defend him please Trudy?" He asked battering his eye lids. Alfie did that when he really wanted something but Trudy falls for it every time.
"Yes. Now let's get him settled in shall we?" She gave in because of Alfie being cute and adorable.
"Is he the new boy?" asked four girls from upstairs in unison.
"Yeah and he's my room-mate." Alfie was so glad and dragged the young minded boy into his room.
"Patricia, Joy, Amber and Mara get Eddie I've got to tell you about Jerome. It is serious."She said the girls ran down the stairs and got Eddie from his room and pulled him to the living room to know about Jerome better.
"Come on Jerome you'll be late for the shoot." Alfie who now was twenty-one but said in a childish way.
"Coming Alf's." Jerome told Alfie. He turned to his side where Trudy was standing.
"Thank you Trudy for everything." He smiled to Trudy as she gave him a giant hug.
"It's hard to believe that nine years ago you didn't say a word and couldn't be toilet trained or use a shower and now you're an incredible actor Jerome." She was crying happy tears. "Promise me you'll come back to visit." She ordered him with a playful pat on his shoulder.
"I will." He said he didn't want to leave yet although he only saw her the day before. He tried started to walk to the car before Trudy took his wrist.
"Promise me one more thing before you go?" It sounded more of a question then a request.
"Anything." Jerome said smiling at Trudy who hasn't ever changed.
"Find yourself some true love." she ordered.
"I-I-I'll try," He gave her one last hug and got in the car.
The car started to move and Jerome and Alfie waving from the window to Trudy and some of the kids.
"Next stop London hay pal." said Alfie elbowing his best friend, "Find a nice girl for you." He was being playfully saying it with a wiggle of the eye brows.
"No!" Jerome screamed at Alfie.
"I was joking we'll find a nice boy for you. You never know someone might be just as messed up as you where when you where twelve like that kid who was sexuality attacked by his Step dad. I believe that was the same day that you got to meet me." He said with his classic cheesy grin on his face.
"What are the chances in that happening Alfie and don't say I'm gay out loud everyone know I told the press I don't need you bragging." Jerome was annoyed at Alfie for saying such things. "What was the name of that kid anyway?" asked the man of twenty-one who didn't learn to use the toilet untill seven years ago.
"Never released, all we know is that he was twelve and that he didn't want anyone to treat him differently." Alfie said as he turned on the radio. The song was there favorite song of all time.
"Oh My God is that our song?" Jerome asked Alfie.
"It is my friend our beat." He confirmed.
"Fabian Rutter you're an amazing guy making this song." Jerome was dancing in his seat completely out of rhythm.
"What's it called again Jerome?" Alfie shouted over the music.
"It's Don't make a fool out of me!" Jerome sang over the voice on the radio.
"I can't wait to get to London we can thank him in person." Alfie was telling Jerome who was super pumped and forgot what they where talking about before hand.
"London here we come!" They both said in unison as they parked at the train station.
