It's still not mine, but the property of Disney. I just took my Geology Mid Term and I think I did okay. There's two more chapters after this and then the story is done.
After school, Jamie walked into the squad room.
"Jamie. What are you doing here? There were no calls," Brooke said in surprise.
"Gotta talk to Alex," Jamie responded. "Is he in?" he questioned.
"Yeah. He's in his office," Brooke told him.
"Thanks," Jamie said. He walked past her and up to the office where his supervisor was. The boy knocked.
"Come in," he heard Alex say. Jamie opened the door.
"Jamie," Alex said in surprise.
"Can I trust you?" Jamie wondered.
"Is this a trick question, Jamie?" Alex wondered. Then, off of the boy's look, "Yes, you can trust me." He motioned for the boy to continue. Jamie ran his fingers through his hair and blew out a breath.
"I can't believe I'm actually doing this," he said.
"Doing what?" questioned the supervisor.
"I…I need you---" the boy trailed.
"What?" Alex prodded.
"I need you to call the cops for me," Jamie finally said.
"The cops? What's going on, Jamie?" Alex asked.
"The abuse has been getting worse," Jamie admitted.
"Abuse?" Alex repeated. How could I have missed it? He always wears long sleeves. Even when it's hot, he thought to himself.
"Don't blame yourself. I've had a lot of practice hiding it," Jamie said, reading the man's expression. "But the thing is: I don't think I can take it anymore. He's getting pretty crazy. If I don't put a stop to it, he'll kill me," he continued.
"Jamie, bud, I'm sorry," Alex apologized.
"Alex, I need your help," Jamie said softly.
"I'll make the call," Alex said. He picked up the phone and began dialing.
AUTHOR'S NOTE
I apologize if Jamie seems out of character here, but this is supposed to be his breaking point here.
