====================================== If I Ain't Got You -- Chapter 17 by JT Poole
// Orlando, FL -- Florida Hospital -- Nick's Room //
"Come on Nick we have to leave now." Jane stated, going around the room gathering her things that were lying around.
"What? Where are we going?" Nick asked.
"We are going back to Tampa. You are being transferred to the care of a doctor there." Jane spoke as Aaron jumped up.
"What are you trying to pull mom?" Aaron asked.
"I am not trying to pull anything." Jane stated.
"Nick, bro you don't have to go. I thought you loved Justin?" Aaron spoke.
"I do love Justin." Nick spoke.
"Well if you love him stay here with him." Aaron stated.
"He has no choice in the matter." Jane stated. "You stay out of this Aaron, this doesn't concern you."
"It does concern me. You are interfering in Nick's life, taking him away from something that he needs, because you can't see past your own stuck up vision." Aaron stated. "So what if Justin's in a wheelchair, that doesn't mean he can't make Nick happy. You don't see how Nick changes when he's with Justin. When he's away from Justin, he goes back into his own world, but when he and Justin are together, he livens up again."
"I don't care. I don't want that cripple with Nick." Jane stated. "And to keep that from happening, we are going home."
"We are not going anywhere mother, you can leave if you want, but me and Nick are staying here." Aaron stated.
"I am your mother, don't talk to me like that!" Jane screamed at Aaron.
"Yeah that's right you are my mother, the woman that claims to love me so much. The woman that has been stealing money from me and from Nick. Yeah some mother you are." Aaron stated.
"What the hell?" Nick asked, walking in front of Jane now. "What is he talking about?"
"Oh you don't know? Well to start, mom here has been stealing money from me and she probably has been doing it to you too. I had my lawyers go over my account spending with a fine tooth comb and they found out that mother here has been skimming money from me." Aaron stated. "Further digging showed that she had both me and you fraudulently sign power of attorney statements to have her in control of our finances."
"What are you talking about Aaron?" Nick asked, looking at him strangely. "Is this true mom?"
"No it's not true, Aaron is making all of this up." Jane stated.
"Oh am I?" Aaron spoke, walking over to his jacket and pulling out the forms that his lawyer had given him. "Check this out."
"Mom, this says that you were granted power of attorney of me and my finances three years ago." Nick stated, reading the forms. "What have you taken from me?"
"I haven't taken anything from you." Jane stated.
"That's a lie and you know it." Aaron stated, handing Nick another document to read. "This one is your bank statements showing all your deposits and withdrawals and this is a statement of your earnings. The figures on both documents don't match."
"Wait a minute! Both of you just stop. I need to sit down on this." Nick stated, walking over to the chair and sitting down, with Aaron following him as Jane stood in the spot she was in, non-moving.
"Bro, she's been stealing from both of us. I had our lawyers go over everything and they have reversed the POAs that she had us falsely sign. So you are in control of your own life, she can't force you to go anywhere Nick. Stay here, be with Justin. If you want, I will stay here with you." Aaron stated, hugging Nick. "You are my brother and I want you to be
happy."
"I am not going to stand here and listen to this." Jane stated.
"Fine mother don't listen, it would be better if you leave. You will be in court soon. I hope you haven't spent the money you stole from us, you will be giving it back." Aaron stated.
"Nick do you honestly want to stay here? Do you really want to be with that cripple? I am trying to save you from ending up being hurt by this so called relationship." Jane stated. "You stand to gain nothing from this."
"I love him mother. I am going to stay here. I don't care if he's in a wheelchair or not. Our love is more than physical it goes way deeper than that." Nick stated, tears in his eyes. "I have gained his love and that's enough for me."
"I don't understand you Nick. I have tried; I have tried everything in my power to change your mind of this lifestyle, I just wish you would stop all of this madness. There's a woman in the world somewhere for you." Jane stated.
"Mother I am gay, get over it. I will always be gay. There's nothing going to change my way of living and I am not giving up on Justin." Nick stated.
"Nick you being gay is a sin." Jane stated. "You are a sinner against
God."
"Well if he's a sinner, so am I." Aaron stated, coming out to his mother and Nick.
"What!" Jane screamed.
"That's right, I am gay. I have always been gay. But I never chose to tell you because I saw the way you acted towards Nick. Now I just don't give a flying rats ass about it anymore." Aaron stated, getting up and walking out of the room.
"Oh my God, I don't believe this! Both of my boys are gay and their father. Am I being punished for something? Is everyone in the world gay!?" Jane screamed, grabbing her purse and walking out of the room leaving Nick there reading the documents that Aaron had given him.
// Down in ICU -- Kasai's Room //
--- Mark's POV ---
This has been a very trying day for all of us. First JT gets his bad news this morning that his childhood enemy was coming to work with him, then me and Kai get into all this drama we are going through, now this happens. I guess God is testing me to see how much I can handle. This is all just a little too much for us. JT is strong, but he isn't that strong. He has gone through too much over the last couple of years; I see this as the straw that breaks the camel's back. Please God get us through this, please.
"Daddy J, Daddy J help me, please help me." Kasai spoke in his sleep. "They are hurting me, they are hurting me, make them stop. Please make them stop. I will be a good boy, I promise, just make them stop."
"Oh God, he must be having a nightmare about what happened." I spoke, getting up out of the chair, wrapping my arms around him. "Oh God, please take this pain away from him."
"Hi there?" Aaron spoke, walking into the room. "Sorry for intruding, but Nurse Sebastian said that I could find Mr. Poole in here."
"Hi. He went back to his office on the second floor." I tell him.
"Is everything okay?" Aaron asked. "What happened if you don't mind me asking."
"I do mind, could you leave please, me and my son would like to be left alone." I tell him, still hugging Kai as he opened his eyes again and hold on to me crying.
"I'm sorry. Thank you for telling me where to find Mr. Poole." Aaron stated, turning and leaving the room.
"It's going to be alright Kai, I promise you that, it's all going to be alright." I tell him rubbing his back as he cried in my arms.
"I'm so sorry Daddy Mark, I should have listened to you." He spoke.
"Shhhh, don't worry about that right now. Just get your mind off of that." I tell him, rocking him back and forth.
"They hurt me Daddy Mark, they hurt me bad." He tells me sounding like a person who has lost all their innocence.
"I know Kai, I know." I tell him, crying now with him. "The pain will go away, you just have to give it time."
"I want it to stop now. I can't take it Daddy Mark." He tells me, crying harder now, as I do all I can to try and calm him down.
// In JT's Office //
"When they brought him in the ER they did the rape kit on him!" JT screamed.
"Well we can't found the specimens for that." The officer spoke.
"What! What do you mean? I saw the doctor on call catalog the specimens." JT screamed. "You need to go down to the ER and ask to speak to Andrew!"
"Look Mr. Poole you need to calm down and listen to what I am saying." The officer spoke.
"I don't need to calm down, you need to get down to the ER and do your job!" JT screamed walking back behind his desk. "I have things to do, please leave now!"
"Mr. Poole, if you would just..." The officer stated as JT cut him off.
"I SAID NOW! GET THE HELL OUT OF MY FUCKING OFFICE AND I MEAN NOW!" JT screamed, as the cop stepped out of the office bumping into Aaron at the door.
"Oh sorry kid, I don't think you want to go in there right now." The officer stated, putting his hat back on and walking down the hall.
"Excuse me, I'm here to see Mr. Poole. Are you him?" Aaron asked, standing in front of JT.
"Yes, that's me, how may I help you?" JT asked, calming down and taking a sip of his coffee.
"I'm Aaron, Aaron Carter, I'm Nick Carter's brother." Aaron stated.
"Okay, nice to meet you. Now what can I do for you?" JT asked.
"I want to know what can be done about Nick? Basically I want to know can my mother force him to leave here and go elsewhere if he doesn't want to leave?" Aaron asked.
"No she can not force him to leave if he doesn't want to go. If he says no, then she has no control over him unless she has power of attorney over him or she has some form of guardianship over him." JT explained.
"Well she had power of attorney over him and me, but I had our lawyers reverse that." Aaron stated. "What I am getting at is that if his doctor was to say that he was `crazy' could she use that and force him to leave and go where she wanted to take him?"
"She possibly could, but I don't think anyone here at this hospital would diagnose Nick as being crazy." JT spoke.
"What if she brings an outside doctor in to see him?" Aaron asked.
"Well she could do that, but if Nick isn't doing anything to make anyone think he's crazy, then there's nothing your mother can do." JT stated. "Does this have anything to do with Justin?"
"Yeah I think so. She doesn't want Nick and Justin together." Aaron stated.
"Well I say that Nick is sane as anyone else in here. He's not crazy, he's just had a little bit of bad luck in his life is all." JT stated as Mark burst in the door.
"Baby they have a suspect." Mark spoke, walking over to JT and hugging him. "Oh, sorry, didn't know you had someone in here."
"You are the guy I just saw downstairs." Aaron stated.
"Oh yeah, I'm sorry for the way I behaved down there." Mark stated. "I was just having a bad moment."
"It's okay. Mr. Poole maybe we should reschedule this." Aaron stated.
"Yes, yes please. Just leave me your number and when a time is convenient I will give you a call." JT stated as Aaron shook his hand and got up to leave.
"Baby, baby they have a suspect. One of the guys responsible has done this to someone else before." Mark stated.
"How do you know this?" JT asked.
"The cops are down in the lab with Andrew. They had him and another technician perform the analysis. The DNA analysis is complete and they have gotten a match to one of the people that it matches." Mark stated. "They are going to go get the person and see if Kai can identify him."
"Do you think he's ready to do that baby?" JT asked.
"No, but he needs to do it so they can be punished for what they did." Mark stated, as JT's pager went off.
"That's Andrew. Let me call him and see what's up." JT spoke, picking up his phone and dialing Andrew's phone.
"Yo JT, I think you and Mark better get down here and quick." Andrew stated.
"What's going on?" JT asked.
"I tried to get them to wait until you or Mark were with him, but they brought the guy that attacked Kasai into the room and he woke up and saw him and flipped out." Andrew stated.
"What!" JT screamed. "Baby get down there now, I will be down, just get down there now. The guy is down there with him and he's going crazy!"
// Justin's Room //
"What are you doing kid?" Christina asked, walking into the room with Justin.
"Nothing, just sitting here doing nothing as always." Justin stated.
"You sound so down sweetie, what's wrong?" Christina asked. "Wait, don't answer that."
"Well I was going to tell you." Justin stated.
"Yeah I know and you were going to start downing yourself again. I am stopping you right now. I want to hear something positive." Christina stated as there was a knock at the door.
"Come on in." Justin called out as Nick walked into the room.
"Hello Justin." Nick lightly spoke, walking into the room. "Hi Christina."
"Hi Nick." Christina spoke, hugging Nick.
"Justin are you busy right now?" Nick asked.
"No baby, I am never too busy for you." Justin stated, reaching out his hand to Nick. "Come here."
"Oh that is so sweet and romantic. Should I leave the room?" Christina asked as Nick sat down in Justin's lap.
"You don't have to leave Christina, I just wanted to come be with Justin, you don't have to go." Nick spoke.
"Cool." Christina spoke just as there was another knock at the door.
"Come in." Justin called out again as JC walked into the room.
"Hello Jus..." JC trailed off locking eyes with Christina. "Chrissy wait, please. I just want to see how he is doing. Don't do anything please."
"What the hell do you want Josh?" Christina asked. "I told you never to show your face here again. You don't handle directions well. I guess I have to beat ya ass again."
"Look Chrissy I am not here for trouble, I just want to see how he's doing." JC stated.
"He's doing fine now leave!" Christina screamed just as Lance and Marshall walked into the room.
"What's going on...What the hell are you doing in here?" Lance asked as Marshall had to grab Lance and keep him away from JC.
"Damn I just came to see him, I guess I better go since you have bodyguards all around this place." JC stated, walking out of the room past all of them as Lance, punched him in the back of the head and closed the door.
"Good fucking riddance." Lance stated. "Justin are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Thanks guys. I really don't want to deal with him." Justin spoke.
"Well you don't have to. Hopefully he got the message loud and clear, if not I can always beat his ass again." Christina stated.
"You beat him up already, once was enough." Justin stated.
"You did that to him? Whoa I better not get on your bad side." Marshall spoke, stepping behind Lance.
"I wouldn't do that to you, besides, I am quite sure you would give me a run for my money." Christina stated, patting him on his back. "But you know me, I hate Eminem."
"Yeah I still remember that song." Marshall stated.
"Well you inspired me to sing it." Christina stated, sitting next to Justin and Nick. "So what do you two have planned, if anything?"
"Well we are going down to the Solarium and chill out for a bit." Nick spoke.
"Oh cool, that sounds so romantic." Christina stated.
"It sure does. Baby why don't we do stuff like that anymore?" Lance asked, wrapping his arms around Marshall.
"Because we never have time for stuff like that now." Marshall stated.
"We have time now, we aren't doing anything." Lance spoke. "Let's go do something nice and romantic."
"Okay, come on." Marshall stated, grabbing Lance's hand and pulling him out of the room. "Me and my love bunny will be back in a few hours."
"Oh wow, now it's just me all alone." Christina stated.
"You can hang with us Chrissy if you like." Justin stated.
"No no, you two go on, I am going to find me something to get into. I will be back later you two." Christina stated, leaning down to kiss and hug both Nick and Justin. "Don't do anything I wouldn't do."
"Great, that means we can do anything." Justin stated, laughing at Christina as she started blushing.
"I'm gonna get you for that Curly." Christina stated, laughing as she walked out of the room.
// Down in the ER //
"Get away from me! Don't come near me!" Kasai screamed out as Mark ran into the room.
"I'm here buddy, I'm here. Shhhh, it's going to be okay." Mark spoke, wrapping Kasai in his arms and hugging him.
"Daddy Mark he's here, he's here!" Kasai screamed out.
"I know I know. Just calm down, it's going to be okay baby, it's going to be alright." Mark stated, rocking Kasai back in forth.
"Mark is JT coming down?" Andrew asked.
"Yeah, he's on his way down. I think he was getting into his chair when I left to come down here." Mark stated.
"Just say you know, when he gets down here keep him calm, this is going to explode beyond us." Andrew stated.
"What do you mean Andrew?" Mark asked, looking over at Andrew strangely.
"Let's just say one of the people that hurt Kai is someone that has powerful parents." Andrew stated.
"I don't care if his parents have power or not. He hurt my baby and he needs to be punished for it." Mark stated.
"I know that Mark. I am just saying that this could possibly get pushed under a rug somewhere and never be heard about again." Andrew stated.
"This will be heard until the person responsible is punished." Mark stated as he heard a commotion outside.
"Hey Jared, officer where is the person that hurt my child?" JT asked, rolling into the room. "Andrew, where is the guy?"
"He's right there, you just past him." Andrew stated, pointing at Jared.
"Where?" JT asked looking around.
"Jared is the guy." Andrew stated.
"What!" Mark screamed jumping up, grabbing the kid and started slamming him into the wall. "You hurt him, why did you hurt him?!?"
"Mark stop!" JT screamed as the officer and Andrew both tried to pull Mark off the kid.
"Get the hell off of me!" Mark screamed, still holding the kid by the neck now, still slamming him into the wall. "I'm going to kill him! He needs to die for hurting Kai!"
"Daddy Mark stop. Please stop." Kasai spoke softly.
"Oh baby." JT stated, getting out of his wheelchair, and walking over to Kasai, holding him in his arms.
"Daddy J stop him before it's too late. I need both of you." Kasai spoke, tears running down his face.
"Mark Wahlberg let the kid go." The officer spoke. "Let the kid go, you are killing him."
"I am going to kill him!" Mark screamed.
"Mark release my boy!" Larry Tanner screamed, running into the room
"Your boy raped our son!" Mark screamed as the police officer and Andrew tackled him.
"Let the police handle this Mark you have done enough." Andrew whispered into Mark's ear. "Come on let's take a walk, JT can take care of Kai."
"I am not leaving out of here!" Mark screamed. "Not until that little bastard pays for what he has done!"
"Andrew please, take him somewhere and let him cool down. Once he has done that, then bring him back." JT stated as Kasai cried in his arms.
"Jared are you okay?" Larry asked.
"My head hurts dad." Jared spoke.
"What is this all about?" Larry asked, looking back and forth between JT, Andrew and the police officer.
"Your son raped my son." JT stated.
"What? That's not possible. My son isn't a fag." Larry stated.
"Excuse me!" JT screamed. "I said your son raped my son!"
"And I said it isn't possible! My son is straight, he doesn't sleep with boys." Larry stated.
"Apparently he does, he raped my son and the police have the DNA to prove it!" JT screamed.
"Daddy J please stop, don't get angry." Kasai spoke.
"Everyone get out! Get out now!" JT screamed as everyone left the room. "Baby everything's going to be okay."
"No it isn't, Daddy Mark is mad, you are mad. I shouldn't have snuck out the house." Kasai spoke.
"Don't worry about that baby, just think about something else." JT stated, as Andrew came back into the room.
"I gave Larry the report so he can read it for himself and the police is taking Jared into custody now, he also told the officer who the other person was responsible. They will pick him up too." Andrew stated.
"Good." JT stated, hugging onto Kasai. "Where's Mark?"
"He left. He said he needed to go home." Andrew stated.
"Oh God and you let him go in his current state of mind? Andrew can you stay here with him, I need to go get Mark." JT stated, sitting back down in his wheelchair and leaving the room.
