Chapter Six: Lies

"Why did YOU do this? How am I suppose to cover up your cuts and bruises? HUH?" Nick yelled at Justin, who sat in the corner, crying. There was blood on his shirt and pants.

Justin did not speak.

"Wait." Nick thought aloud. "We'll just everyone that you got into a fight with someone kid, and I couldn't get there fast enough because I was in the bathroom! Perfect!" Nick smiled.

"Let's go!" He yelled picking Justin up by his shirt collar and leading him from the bathroom.

Cody had gotten off work late and was at home now. He and Zack we're watching football. Jeremy was rolled up on a chair.

Nick and Justin entered the house.

"What in the hell?" Cody asked in a furious tone.

"He got into a fight while I was in the bathroom." Nick sighed, looking hurt.

"I can't belive it! You never do anything like this." Cody looked confused, and as if he felt Justin's pain. But he didn't. He didn't even know pain. Not this pain.

"I'm sorry." Justin said as tears began pouring from his eyes.

"Don't be, buddy. It's okay. Little fights happen all the time." Cody hugged him.

Jeremy was angry. He knew that Nick had done this. He knew it! Jeremy's stomach hurt, and he felt sick. Nick smiled at him. That was it. Jeremy ran to the bathroom and puked. Zack hurried after him.

"What's wrong?" Zack asked through the door.

"Nothing. I just feel sick." Jeremy coughed.

"Okay. I'll be out here if you need me." Zack walked back into the front room.

"Well, I'm really sorry Cody. I should have been watching him closer." Nick rubbed his chin.

"It's fine, I understand. Don't blame your self. It's not your fault." Cody stood up to Nick's level.

"See you tomorrow. I have to go." Nick waved, then left.

Justin ran up the stairs to his room and sat on his bed, crying. Soon, Jeremy emerged.

"What really happened? Are you okay?" Jeremy ran to his brother.

"It was Nick. He hurt me. Like he hurt you the other day." Justin cried.

"It's okay." Jeremy hugged him. "I will never let him hurt you again. Even if that means sacrificing myself." Jeremy allowed a few tears to fall down his face.
