So last chapter... Leo and such... somewhat dramatic... and such... What happened? Who is this Jamie? Why is Leo so bi-polar around Adam? He's bipolar right around him right? Sudden change in personality.. and such... anyways!
'She Keeps Me Warm' is the title of this chapter. The thing is though that the 'She' part of that doesn't make sense. 'She Keeps Me Warm' is a song by Mary Lambert and it's a about gay relationships. More specifically hers. But it has the message about love and such... So I made it the title of this chapter cause this chapter is about accepting each other.
This chapter is gonna be about Leo and Isaac. Leo has some explaining to do and Isaac has to tell someone about Kale. Who? Find out by reading! On with the show!
LE – Chapter 42 – She Keeps Me Warm.
Leo's POV
Did I really just tell Annie about Jamie? Shit shit shit!!! How am I gonna cover this up? "What do you mean about Jamie?" I remained quiet. "Leo answer me! Your knee is hurt and now your saying some guy named Jamie is screwing you. Can you explain something in detail please?"
"Fine, I will!" God dammit my knee is sore! "Could I get some ice for my knee first?"
"For me to get ice I would have to tell my mom."
"Whatever, I don't care anymore." Annie left the room. How the hell did I end up here like this? What did I do to get into this situation?
A Hour And A Half Earlier
"So where are we going mom?" Annie had just left. I still have no idea what my mom is talking about. Going somewhere, she never mentioned that to me this morning.
She was unpacking groceries in the kitchen when she quietly responded, "Jamie is coming over."
I didn't hear her very well the first time. "What, your to quiet, I can't hear you."
She got loader. "I said Jamie is coming over." No... No he's not. She can't be telling the truth. "I know I said..."
"You said never again!" I was standing in the kitchen already. Tears forming out of fear and betrayal. "You said you wouldn't do it ever again and now he's coming back!"
"Leo, calm down, let me explain."
"No! You said that Jamie, anyone for that matter would never come over for.... 'that'!" My mom have had some money issues and Mark took it upon himself to get her some more money. What she didn't know was he was whoring himself to older men at the age of 16.
This resulted in my mom basically becoming Mark's pimp. He would get set up every other weekend and I would hear it all. When I turned 12, Jamie wanted some fun with me. Mom's deal was double or nothing, Jamie agreed to the $200 for me.
I ended up with a specially crafted pair of gloves that had links on the back of my hands and a very tight pair of briefs on. My mouth was gagged and the links attached to a bed in in the basement. Jamie had his way with me for over an hour. He's 48 and fat, it was not a fun time.
Now Mom was letting the guy back in after THAT!! She didn't know I was gagged and linked to the bed tell after everything was over with. When she found out she said that no one would ever do anything to me again. In fact she stopped everything completely.
"Jamie has agreed to pay five times the amount and will not use any sort of bondage. He has also agreed to go at the pace you fine comfortable."
"I FUCKING HATE YOU!!!!" I stormed up to my room and started crying. At 5:30 mom called for dinner. I went down grabbed my plate and walked right back up to my room.
Between bites I was gathering my things to leave. I couldn't leave through the front door, mom would stop me. I had to sneak out my 2nd floor window. The best time would be just after Jamie arrives. So I ate as fast as I could and waited.
At 6 I heard a car pull up, it was Jamie. I watched as he walked to the door and knocked. Mom answered and welcomed him inside. Scumbags both of them. That's when I opened my window and pushed the screen out.
There wasn't any doubt they would have a brief conversation and then call me down. So I grabbed the backpack I prepared and threw it out the window. I got up and out but slipped and ended up falling out of the window.
I landed and my right knee landed on the stick I found hanging out with Annie the other day. The stick only broke a bit off the top but my knee was royally fucked. When I tried to stand I couldn't. So I grabbed the stick and used that as my right foot. I had to move quickly, they would find out I was gone soon.
My destination was already set, Annie's. Now I had an issue. When I show up he's gonna wonder about my knee. "Fuck this hurts." Yes it hurts so bad that I had to say something. Hey, it made it hurt a little less. There is still Annie to deal with...
Current Time
Annie and his mom come into his room. "Pull up your pant leg, Leo. Let me see your knee." I did so as fast as I could. "It's swelling, we should take you to emergency to have a look at it."
"No, it's fine. I'm sure as soon as the swelling goes down I'll be fine."
His mom continued to look at it. "We'll have to call you mother that you're here. Anthony get me the phone and an ice pack." Anthony left the room to gather the things. "How did this happen Leo?"
I looked away, "I was sneaking out and I fell onto a stick that was laying below my window..."
"What were you sneaking out for?" She had a serious look on her face. A mother's 'you better tell me the truth face.'
"I wanted to hang out with Annie..."
"He said that you had to go somewhere and you two couldn't hang out today." Annie came back in and handed both objects to his mother. "Leave this on your knee it'll make the swelling go down and pain go away. If it gets to warm tell Anthony to get you a new one or call for me. Call your mom and tell her you're here."
"Yes ma'am." She left the room. Annie looked over at me as she closed the door. I sighed, "Here's what happened..." And I told him. Everything. I finished up with, "And since you answered the phone and just hung up they'll be over here soon."
"You mom doesn't know where I live. Neither will this Jamie guy."
"He's a techie kind of guy. He can track phones off a single phone call. That's why I tried to stop you." Just as I finished there was a knock at the door. "Expecting company?"
"No..."
"It's either my mom, Jamie or both then."
Annie got up to answer the door. As he did I heard his mom say, "Hello, how can I help you?"
It was a man who spoke, "Yes, I was looking for my nephew Leo, is he here?" Jamie... I am not that guy's nephew, gross.
"Leo is here, he never mentioned an uncle though..."
He chuckled, "I just came into town for a visit today. Was expecting him to be home. His mother said he would. When I got there though he was no where to be seen and his window screen was pushed out. His mother said he might be at his friend 'Annie's' house."
I shouted, "He's not my Uncle! I don't know of any uncles in my family!"
There was silence. Annie looked from me to presumably his mom and then back to me. Jamie spoke again, his voice shaky, "He's never met me before today. He couldn't have known me beforehand."
Then Annie's mom saved me, "Where is his mother? Shouldn't he be here as well?"
"She is not with me..." He stated it slowly. Caught! YES! I'm Safe for the night!
I mouthed a thank you to Annie as his mom spoke, "Well, since I don't know if you are his uncle or not, I'm sorry but he wont be leaving my house. If you bring his mother over then I will release him from my custody but before then, no."
"I understand ma'am. I will return shortly with his mother." Then the door was closed.
Annie's mom walked to the door way and looked at me, "Do you know who that was?" I shook my head, 'yes'. "Who was it?"
"My mom's co-worker Jamie..."
Her look couldn't have gotten more serious, but it did... "Why did he come here to pick you up, and not your mother?"
"I don't know Mrs. Justice." Bold face lie.
"I think you do." She wasn't believing my bluff. I remained silent. "If you don't answer me I am calling the police Leo."
So the police will be called either way? Fun... Might as well say it. "He raped Leo when he was 12 and was gonna pay his mom to do it again!" Annie beat me to it.
His mom looked at me. No words could describe the shock and fear in her face. She looked at me for answers but I looked away and remained silent. "Leo, I am calling the police. You are going to stay with us until this is all sorted out. Okay?"
"Yes, Ma'am." She left the room taking the phone with her. No doubt calling 9-1-1 on her way out.
Annie looked like he was about to cry, "I'm sorry but I had to. You didn't look like you were going to and I didn't want you going back there anytime soon."
I smiled and simply said, "Could you get me another Icepack, this one is getting kinda warm." He left the room nodding.
That night my mom was arrested for prostitution, raping a minor, and abuse. Jamie was arrested for raping a minor and kidnapping. Weather or not these charges got anywhere was a question for the justice system... the question I have is: How long till this gets around school and to my brother?
Isaac's POV
Okay... Over the past couple of days... well weeks, and I need to tell someone about Kale. I just need to! I can't keep it in me I need to scream it out! Well maybe not scream but say something I shouldn't.
So I thought about it allot. I even mentioned it to Kale, who just said "When ever your ready, we'll go public." He continued telling me that I could tell anyone I want, he wouldn't care. I think he's the best!
As I said though I have thought about this allot! Since I feel the need to tell someone I will tell someone who I have full confidence in. Mostly cause she's binded by a legal contract to not say anything to anyone. Cheryl is always good to talk to anyways! Now it's just a waiting game to get to the Youth Centre.
My mom knocked me out of my zoning out. "Isaac, are you going to the Youth Centre tonight?" I was about to leave right at 6pm. I normally don't.
I nodded as I opened the door. "I told you last week they are having a dinner there tonight."
"That's right you did. I forgot, have fun!" She smiled as I left.
I ran the entire way there. Free food is a good reason to run, okay! Plus I think I might just scream if I don't tell someone soon. Thanks to Kale who has got me running 3 or 4 times a week I'm getting pretty good at it.
When I got there Colby was just bringing something from inside his truck, "Do you need any help Colby?" I said breathing heavily.
He stood up and looked me hunched over, "Ran all the way here?"
"Ya... So do you need any help?"
He smiled and handed me a box of bread, "Bring this in for me. The doors should be unlocked."
I walked up and another kid held the door open for me. I said thanks and continued my way to the kitchen. Cheryl was hard at work cooking the dinner. The smell was going through out the building. Spaghetti dinner might be simple but she is making it much more awesome!
She made the sauce from scratch. She had hand picked tomatoes from her green house. Basically she grew everything and there was several cutting boards each with different vegetable on it.
So I set the box down on the counter out of the way. "Hey Cheryl!"
She turned towards me, "Oh hello Isaac. You are certainly here early."
"Free food is good food!" We both smiled and had a little laugh. "Would we be able to talk after dinner is done?"
"Sure, Isaac, what's on your mind?"
"I just wanna get something off my chest."
She looked at me for a moment. Her facial expression said she was worried but it changed as she continued to stare. "As soon as I'm done cooking and serving food we can talk. In the meantime wanna cop up some onion?"
So I ended up helping her chop almost everything. I'm apparently really good at chopping things. Dinner was successful. Some people who never show up to the centre showed up and such. It was a good time in all.
When Cheryl was free she went to her office and I fallowed. I closed the door behind me and looked at her. She said nothing. I had to say something, "I have a boyfriend!"
She was caught off guard but continued, "This is what you had to get off your chest?" I nodded, "How does he feel about you not wanting to go public?"
"He's okay with it. He said to take my time with it."
"That's good." We ended up talking for a little bit about life in general. It was a nice conversation. It ended with Cheryl asking me an important question, "So Isaac, do you know if you are gay, bi, or bi-curious."
"For now... I'm gonna say I'm gay. Until I'm proven otherwise at least!"
