Chapter 32: Repeat After Me


Jake tugged at his shirt, "Come on, push me higher…please?"

Rory looked down at him and rolled his eyes," You can't go any higher kid" He stopped the swing, pulled him back and then pushed him forwards again," Is this better?"

"Yeah Rory…higher, higher!" Jake giggled out in delight.

Rory rolled his eyes. "Dad, can you take over for me? I think he's getting too happy"

Jeremy rolled his eyes as he switched places with his son," You know, Rory, you could smile every once in a while"

"What's the fun in that?" Rory asked.

"Is that a smile?"

"No, it's a demeaning smirk" Rory laughed out and covered his mouth.

"I knew my son could show more than one sullen emotion" Jeremy smiled as he ruffled up Rory's hair and resumed pushing Jake.

"Hey, dad, I love you and all…but don't touch the hair, okay?"

"Okay, kid, go inside and help mom with the food, I want to eat"

"I wanna eat too daddy" Jake called out, he was trying to reach the tree.

"Uhh…dad, should he be doing that?" Rory asked, scratching his head quizzically.

"I wanan fly, Rory!" Jake called out.

"Dad!" Rory yelled.

"Huh?" Jeremy called out to see Jake flying out of his seat." Oh fuck…umm...I mean, never curse Rory…uh…" He began running around to where Jake was going, his legs still propped up in the air, and began to land…right where the gate is at." Umm Rory?" He was panicking now.

"Dad…calm down." Rory said quickly, he ran and grabbed the inflatable pool and ran over to the gate and then tried to catch Jake, which broke his fall and then landed in the pool. Jake laughed and hugged his brother," That was fun, Rory!"

Rory coughed out as his dad ran a hand through his hair." Good job Rory" He walked over and hit Jake on the arm," Don't ever do that again!" He snapped worriedly," You could've gotten hurt, or hurt your brother!"

Jake's eyes welled up with tears. " Now you made him cry, dad" Rory sighed out, pulling Jake against his chest and ran his fingers through his brother's curly locks of hair and whispered into his ear," Dad doesn't mean to hurt you, but we were worried. Okay"
"Okay, Rory" Jake sniffled out. He kissed him on the cheeks and hugged him tight," I love you Rory"

Rory sighed and rolled his eyes as his dad smiled at the sight of them," Yeah…whatever kid" He pushed some of the hair out of his face as he whispered back," Love you too, kid"


"Jake, you're not cynical" Michael said, patting his head.

"What's the bad thing in that?" Rory asked, raising an eyebrow," My ego and personality would beg to differ "

"It works fitting on you" Michael said with a content wink," Anyways, Jake, what's the problem?"

"I dunno, something feels weird" Jake sighed out.

"Are you getting that strange tingling in your pants again?" Rory half joked.

"No, but I'm sure you are" Jake said and stuck out his tongue," I feel like something bad is going to happen"

"Is that a statement or a question?" Michael asked, worried.

"Never mind him" Rory waved his arm," I'm pretty damn sure the best thing in our lives will happen tomorrow"

"I hope your right" Jake sighed as he climbed up to the next branch and sat down next to Rory," But then again, it's not as if you'll die tomorrow or something"


Andy poked his head through the beaded curtain that was the door to his room and listened to his parents argue. "I will not, have some silly fag as my son, Marie" His father yelled," Look, I have a certain political stance to hold…"

"I know that Gene, and that's why you just can't kick him out of the house. What will the press think?"

"Fuck the press" His father said strongly," I think I need to smoke"

"Look, just let him stay for these last weeks, and then we can get rid of him" His mother said calmly," Maybe drop him off with Angie"

"Fine, if this doesn't work…" He trailed off, adjusting his tie.

"It will" She placed an uneasy kiss on his cheeks," I'll go make breakfast, you go wake him up"

"I'd rather if you do that, Hun. I'm going to go get started on my speech" His father said and stride out the hallway.

His mother watched as Andy sighed and threw the curtain back and flipped onto his furry pink and blue bed. "I can't believe that they're doing this" murmured, picking up the phone and calling one of his best friends.

Somewhere near the Triangle, Brian picked up the phone, holding a drink in one hand," Hey my bitches and hoes"

"It's me, Andy" Andy sighed, rolling his eyes. "And for the last time, I'm not your hoe"

"Oh…sure…look, Lemmy, turn off the bath water" Brian said to the waiter, yes, he had his own personal waiter, "I'm on the phone with Andy…Oh, Andy, he said hi"

"Hey Lemmy" Andy smiled, remembering that last day on the yacht…sweet bliss. "Look, Bri, I need someone to talk to"

"Then call your boyfriend Pete or Ryan, I'm taking a bath!" He stopped," Owww! Damnit, scrub softer Lemmy, I want my skin shiny clean!"

"Do not tell me you have Lemmy washing your back" Andy sighed out.

"I won't then, lower, beyotch!" Brian snapped at Lemmy.

"My parent's are gonna kick me out the house" Andy sighed, "I just found out."

"Then stay at my house, you know that Pira will let you in…"

"Her name is Paris" He corrected dully. Andy was bored of the way he tossed his riches around and commanded his servants, but he was his best friend anyway, so whatever. "And I can't, I want to go some where else,"

"Then go get Pete and hang out with Ryan or something" Brian said dully.

"Bri…" Andy said his voice soft.

"Fine, look, I'm not there, so I can't like…kick your dad's ass. What I can do is offer you my house to abuse and shit until I get back…"

"Which will be?" Andy asked, running a hand through his hair.

"4 weeks, the first day of school, you'll see me. And then you can stay for however long possible" Brian said, you could hear water moving around and the occasional squeak. "Lower Lemmy…yeah…right there'"

Andy looked around his room," Everything? I have to move?"

"Hell yes…" Brian said, "Take it all, take the room next to mines and set up…um, when you get these, pick up the video phone so we can really talk"

Ahh..the kicks of being rich.

"Fine" Andy sighed, "I'll pack up then"

"Love ya, kid, see you in a few"

"Ciao" Andy sighed, throwing the phone down and looking at his room, what to pack?
-


"Andy, Andy wake up" Marco groaned, looking over at Ryan, who was sleeping with his mouth open and then at Pete, who was sleeping with his legs propped up on the table.
Ah…he loved Hollywood.

Andy sat up, shaking his hair back into place perfectly and yawing," What's the rush"
"I wanna spy on Dylan" Marco said, rolling around, pulling the same pair of jeans on." Come on!"

"What about those two?" Andy asked, motioning towards the other two sleeping.

Marco rolled his eyes," Screw em', come on, the faster we figure out what's going on the faster I'll be able to sleep" He grabbed his sun glasses and dragged him out the door.


One of Jake's eyes slowly opened, the other one stayed, he was still have submerged in his sleepy slumber. He heard someone whisper something, and then someone looked around, with one eye open mind you, and then saw Michael and Robert staring at him, smirking. He sat up half way before he noticed a tug on his arms. Looking down, he saw that he was tied with his own tie to the bedpost.

He groaned. He didn't want to be anywhere near them, not now at least.

"It's time to play a game" Robert said, looking at Jake slyly.

"Yep, pop quiz, 5 seconds to answer, multiple choice" Michael chimed in.

"You will tell us everything that's bothering you…" Robert said, glancing at his watch.

"A. yes…"

"B…yes…"

"C…yes"

"Or D…yes" Robert said. He clicked his tongue and shook his head.

"Oh…time's up" Michael said, shaking his head, "So what's the answer?"

"None of the above" Jake moaned out, closing his eyes again.

"Not so fast, boy wonder" Michael said, propping his fingers between Jake's eye lid so it wouldn't close fully. " Robby, get the tape"

"You've been hanging around Andy too much" Robert sighed out.

"No, fool" Michael rolled his eyes," To tie him up…legs too, I don't want him escaping"

"Oh, okay" Robert wandered out of the room. Michael sighed and slid down next to him," You always have to make it complicated"

Jake blew some sweaty hair out his face," As long as it's still about me"

Michael smiled as Robert came back into the room and snapped the tape in his hands like a whip," Electric tape, extra heavy"

"Oh, it will be" Michael giggled out," It will…"


Dylan turned the corner only to turn and go back around. He crashed right into Randy.

"Woah, I thought the bathroom was that way…"

"And so is Marco…" Dylan sighed.

"Delightful!" Randy said, turning the corner and looking at the shaggy haired boy. " Marco!"

Marco and Andy both glanced up at the same time," Do you know him?" Andy whispered.

"I dunno…nope" Marco whispered back.

"He's hot" Andy smirked.

"Yeah…should I go over and talk?" Marco asked, confused.

"Only if I get to come with you" Andy said, dragging him over there.

"Hey…" Randy trailed off, the kid was shaggy cute. Kinda like the cute boy next door who is a boy scout." I've heard so much about you…"

"Really?" Marco asked, happily," You read my writing?"

"No" Randy said.

Marco's face dropped.

"I'm dating your boyfriend" Randy finished.

Marco's face hit the floor. Andy stiffened a laugh, his face was priceless.

"Oh Dylan…" Randy called out. He looked around, Dylan was gone.

He looked at Marco, who had somehow found his way to the floor and laughed," Nice meeting you…" He trailed off and walked off in search of Dylan.

He was going to have a good laugh out of this.


"It's been 2 hours Marco, it's safe to say that he's gone" Andy sighed, squatting down next to the curled up figure on the floor.

"He just rubbed it in my face! That asshole!" Marco cried out.

"Come on, crying is not gonna do you any good. We need a plan, revenge!" Andy raised his freshly manicured fingers up to prove a point.

Something glinted in Marco's eyes" Yes…revenge"

He looked at Andy in the most dark way possible," Oh no!" Andy said, shaking his hair," Hell no"


"So…why are you here again?" Remy asked, blocking Jake from going through the doorway to his hotel room. Well actually it was Randy's, but Matt, Dylan and him were staying there as well. After last night he decided that he'd have to be a bit more edgy to this Jake character, he might be trouble.

"I want to hang out, since you will be coming to my school next year-" Jake began.

"You act as if you own it"

"I do" Jake said, straightforward.

Remy blinked as Jake continued," It's good if you get in with the right crowd at an early stage in the hazing"

"Hazing?"

"Oh, you know how boys have their fun" Jake said coyly," We're not gifted and talented for nothing." He assumed the stance at the door and pushed some of the hair out of his face," Look, I know you don't like competition, and I'm not trying to become your competition, I just want to have some fun. And judging by your performance from last night, I would assume that you do too"

"First of all, don't assume anything. It's not good. And second, why should I want to hang out with you?" Remy asked, leaning against the door frame.," Besides, you called me a bitch!" He said the last part with somewhat of an accent.

Jake cocked his head to the side," No I didn't"

"The look said it all" Remy said dully.

"Well seeing and hearing are two different things" Jake smirked.

"Seeing is believing"

"Believe me, if I though you were a bitch, I'd say it to your face" Jake said tiredly.

"All right the-"

"Bitch"

"Excuse me?"

"Bitch. I told you if I thought you were a bitch I'd say it to your face" Jake shrugged," Now all honestly aside, you'll probably prove me wrong later on-"

"Is that an assumption?" Remy smiled.

"No, it's a fact. Now can I please come in?" Jake asked again.


"Let…me…gooooo!" Andy cried out as Marco dragged him down the stairs," This isn't the type of revenge I was hoping for!"

"And what type were you planning?" Marco said, tugging harder.

"I dunno…forcing him to watch Dawson's Creek for 4 hours straight, hiding his scripts…but never this" Andy yelled out.

"Oh well, Andy, you said take a risk!"

"Not this big!"

"There's no such thing as too big" Marco said.

"Don't I know it" Andy said to himself.

"Anyway, I need to do this…and I need someone to do it with"

"I am not your tube monkey!" Andy said," Why didn't you get Jake or Robert…or , oh here's a though, Ryan!"

"For the last time, I am NOT kissing my son, and sure as hell ain't gonna be Robert, and Ryan's well…out of the picture-"

"He's out of something" Andy murmured again.

"What?" Marco asked.

"Nothing. So I'm your only hope?" Andy asked timidly.

"Pretend it's mission impossible…" Marco sighed," You can be Tom-"

"Well what are we waiting for then!" Andy asked, picking Marco up and throwing his over his shoulder," The faster we reach our destination the better"


Adrian woke up in the hospital bed with literally no sight, he began to panic, feeling around, but still couldn't see anything. "Doctor, he's awake" A nurse called out as the doctor came inside the room," Adrian?" He called out.

"Why can't I see anything?" Adrian demanded automatically.

"It's a little side effect of the surgery, what your experiencing currently is nothing more than a little…eye jet lag, almost , they're just a little lazy right now, but you'll get your eye sight back in a few days. Oh, there's someone here to visit you, after she leaves I'm going to have to ask you to get some rest though" He explained fully before leaving the room with the nurse in tow.

"Michael?" Adrian asked expectantly.

"Please Adrian, always after the boys" The girl said with a casual eye roll

"Piper…." He trailed off," What a pleasure"

"Please spare the formal talk Addy, you were never good with it"

"You didn't say that last year in Kenny's back room-"

"That's the past" She said, sitting on the bed with him and pushing the hair out of his face. His eyes were swollen and closed, his skin was pale and his breathing was short of shallow." Hard life?" She asked teasingly.

"It's a turn on when you mock me, truly it is. But what's the real reason that you're here?"

"Your kid" Piper said, dropping the basket into his lap. The baby inside cried.

"You just dropped Tilly on me like that?" Adrian snapped, sitting up and grabbing the bundle into his arms.

"I thought you couldn't see"

"I'm not dumb" Adrian sighed out," I know how to handle a kid correctly"

"I'm leaving her with you" Piper said standing up.

"What? The hell you are, where's she supposed to stay?"

"That's your problem. I've taken care of this little drama issue for 2 years now, it's your turn. Incept, let's make this permanent, because neither me or Ivan want a child anymore"

Piper began to leave when Adrian stopped her.

"You've got to be kidding me, you can't do this and who the hell is Ivan?" Adrian called out.

"I can and I am. Have a nice life Addy boy, take care of Tilly" And with that she was out the door but came back in," Oh and some greasy looking kid named Trent said hi" And then she was gone again.

"Daddy" Tilly said happily.

Adrian threw his head back against the pillow, he couldn't even see his daughter. He had to get a hold of Michael somehow.


It's almost over, I promise
