This is just a short chapter that I decided to put in, Okay I didn't write the song I put in this chapter, if I did I'd be like 100 years old, and I wouldn't even be writing this. The song is called Baby Mine from Dumbo, here's the link, watch?v=iCgDgJsTR_w sung by Bette Midler because I love her. Also any grammar mistakes in Jeff's quotes aren't mistakes, he just talks like that. So anyway here's the chapter, and thank you for reviewing! I want to know if people actually like this!

"He said he hated me! He doesn't love me," Jeff ran into the room, nearly tripping over a chair. Nick nearly stumbled backward as Jeff fell into his arms. He began to sob hysterically, tears running down his face.

"Shh, Jeff he didn't mean it," said Nick, whose heart broke.

"He did Nicky, he hit me!" Jeff pulled his shirt up to reveal a nasty bruise just above his bellybutton. He let his shirt got and he pressed his face to Nick's chest. Nick felt his tears seep through his shirt and onto his skin.

"Please don't cry Jeff," he whispered as he began to rock him. "If you stop crying I'll sing you a song." Jeff stopped crying and looked up at him, tears still running down his face

"Really?"

Nick took his hand and sat him on the piano bench. They were in the basement, which was also the music room. He sat beside him and hovered his fingers over the keys. He took a deep breath and began.

Baby mine, don't you cry.

Baby mine, dry your eyes.

Rest your head close to my heart,

Never to part, baby of mine.

Little one, when you play,

Pay no heed what they say.

Let your eyes sparkle and shine,

Never to tear, baby of mine.

If they knew all about you,

They'd end up loving you too.

All those same people who scold you,

What they'd give just for the right to hold you.

From your head down to your toes,

You're not much, goodness knows.

But, your soul precious to me,

Sweet as can be, baby of mine.

Nick meant it; everything in the song was true. He was beginning to love Jeff, maybe more than a brother would but he wasn't going to do anything to him, he would never hurt Jeff.

Jeff wiped away the last of his tears and gave Nick a hug, "Thank you for making me feel better."

Nick said nothing but hug him closer.

"You sing really good, Nicky."

Nick smiled, "Thank you."

Jeff pulled away from him, "Nicky would you be my prince?" He looked away bashfully, "I want to marry you, you're so nice and I like you."

Nick didn't know what to say, he didn't want to reject him, he didn't understand. But he didn't want to say yes because he didn't want to get in trouble with Father. He nodded anyway, "Yes, I'd love you be your prince."

Jeff hugged him again, "Can we have a wedding with the birds and deers, like in Enchanted at the end?" Jeff paused, "And you can sing and play piano!"

Nick laughed, "Anything for you!"

Jeff got to his feet, "I'm going to go draw our wedding, I'll show you when I'm done!" Without letting Nick answer he ran out of the room, down the hall, up a staircase, and into the play room. He took out his crayons and paper and began to draw their wedding, with the birds, and deers, and piano. He couldn't wait for him and Nicky to get married.

Nick swallowed harshly; he decided to just go with it. He couldn't break Jeff's heart, but he was lying to him. Gay marriage wasn't even legal yet, and where would he find the animals? Nick mentally slapped himself, they weren't really getting married, they wasn't even going to make it out of this house. Nick shook his head and put his fingers over the keys. He shut his eyes and lost himself to the music he played.
