Chapter Five: The Park

"Jeremy?" Zack asked grabbing Jeremy's arms. Jeremy tried to pull away from Zack, but Zack's strength was too much.

"What is wrong with you?" Zack asked, finally getting Jeremy to come to a hault.

He could see Jeremy in the other room.

"Nothing. I am just having a dad day." Jeremy sobbed into Zack's chest.

Zack hugged him back.

"Are you going to be okay buddy?" Zack asked.

"Yeah." Jeremy pulled away. Jeremy went into the bathroom.

Zack made his way into the living room again.

"What was it?" Nick asked, knowing that Jeremy hadn't exposed him.

"I don't know. Do you want to take Justin to the park? Maybe if Bradley hangs out with him a little while...I mean, he is about Jeremy's age."

"Sure." Nick agreed with a smile.

Nick led Justin out the door, Zack didn't notice his resistants.

Jeremy came back into the family room.

"Where's Justin?" Jeremy asked looking around in alert.

"He...went to a friends house." Zack lied. Zack didn't want to mention Nick because he didn't want Jeremy to be mad because he hadn't gotten to go to the park.

"Oh." Jeremy sighed.

"Why don't you and Bradley go play?" Zack asked.

"I don't want to play." Jeremy said rolling up on the couch.

"Are you sure your okay sport?" Zack asked again, this time setting by Jeremy.

"Fine." Jeremy yawned, and soon, dosed off.

PARK

"So Justin? What do you want to do?" Nick smiled looking around. It was a cold morning and no one was there.

"Go home." Justin looked at the rock he was kicking.

"We can't go home. Jeremy needs some alone time." Nick smiled.

"Yeah! Because you hurt him!" Justin yelled, tears covered his face.

"I did no such thing." Nick screamed grabbing Justin's hair and throwing him to the ground.
Justin spit dirt from his mouth. It was beginning to bleed.

"Don' you be lying boy." Nick said, more calmly.

"I'm not. I saw you. In the room." Justin had stood up.

"No you didn't!" Nick had never been so furious.

Nick kicked Justin back to the ground. He continued kicking him, until his face was bruised. Nick then dragged the boy into the boys bathroom.

"You want to be like your brother? Well, if not, it's to damn late!" Nick screamed, unbuckling his belt.

"Pull your clothes off!" Nick demanded.

Justin got to his feet and tried to run. Nick grabbed the back of his shirt and yanked him back.

"I said pull them off!" Nick screamed, violently ripping the shirt up over Justin's head. Then, he moved down to Justin's pants, as the boy cried, Nick muffled his screams for help.
