Chapter Twelve: He Doesn't Want You
Jeremy woke with Nick watching him from across the room.
"Good night?" Nick asked.
"Sure." Jeremy muttered.
"I have to tell you something about your dad, okay?" Nick asked, setting down on the mattress in the floor, also Jeremy's bed.
"What?" Jeremy asked, a gleam of hope in his eye.
"He made me do this. He told me to take you and never look back. He doesn't want you anymore. Jeremy, I'm not lying." Nick looked sad.
"You are lying! My Dad would never say that! Never!" Jeremy protested, tears catching in his throat.
"I swear buddy. That's why it's been eight months and no one has came. No one is looking for you Jerm, no one. It's just you and me now, Okay?" Nick asked rubbing Jeremy's shoulder.
"But..." Jeremy's tears broke and ran down his face. "Your lying. I know he wouldn't. He loves me!" Jeremy protested.
"He doesn't love you. Cody hired me on purpose. He wanted me to get you off his hands. The night he hired me, he old me that I had to take you and run, so I did." Nick stood up.
Jeremy finally looked convinced. Nick smiled. His lie was working.
"Why?" Jeremy asked crying.
"That's why I didn't want you to call him. He, well, he doesn't want you to talk to him. He hates you. I'm all you have. Your stuck with me, I'm stuck with you." Nick tried to smile.
Jeremy was silent. He just cried. Long tear drops fell from his eyes.
"I'm so sorry, Jeremy." Nick bent down and hugged him.
Jeremy beat his fists into Nick's back.
"Take me home! Take me home to my dad!" Jeremy cried screaming.
Nick hit Jeremy in the face.
"Shut up! I told you he doesn't want you anymore. I'm all you have. Okay?" Nick screamed, and for some reason, tears fell from his eyes as well.
Nick turned to leave.
"Nick?" Jeremy called, his crying was soft.
"What?" Nick asked.
"I l-l-Love you." Jeremy stuttered. "Your all I have. I realize that now. You care for me. You love me. But no one else does. It's just you and me now. For ever." Jeremy said as tears streamed down his face.
Nick took Jeremy in his arms.
"I love you too." Nick smiled an evil grin. He had Jeremy right where he wanted him. And now, things would get so much worse...
