I searched the whole house and I couldn't find it. How could I be so stupid? All them memories gone. I looked in the wardrobe and that's when I remembered the broken floor board. I ran downstairs and grabbed a knife then used it to lift up the floorboard. There was a shoebox. I opened it and it had a picture album and some other things. I also found my weed stash under the photos. I was looking through the photo albums.
??: who are you?
I turned around and there was some women standing there on her phone
??: someone's broken into my house. Please send someone
She just looked at me
??: who are you?
Jaylen: this used to be my house. Who are you?
??: Jessica Peters
Jaylen: Peters? You related to Brandon Peters?
Jessica: he's my brother
Jaylen: what?!
Jessica: you know him?
Jaylen: that motherfucker killed my parents
Jessica: you're Jaylen EvansJay pov
We had a call to Jaylens old house. There was a home invasion. Me and Erin went over there and as we got to the door we could hear shouting. We ran into the house and towards the shouting. We ran into a room and Jaylen was holding a knife pointing it at some lady
Jay: Jaylen put the knife down
Jaylen: her brother killed my parents and she thinks she can live in their house
??: please my kids are gonna be home soon
Erin: Jaylen think about what you're doing
Jaylen: he shot them in their sleep! He took away the only family I had left! How the fuck is that fair?!
Jay: it's not fair Jaylen I know that but what good would it do if you end up in juvie huh?
Jaylen: it's not bad enough that her brother killed my parents but she also takes over their house. How the fuck can someone do that?
Jay: give me the knife Jaylen
Jaylen: I can't
Erin: Jaylen you can
Jaylen: I want to hurt Brandon how he hurt me.
Jay: Jaylen give me the knife now!
He just started pacing up and down
Jay: Erin get her out of here
??: this is my house
Erin: it's just so he can de-escalate the situation. He can't do that when you're in there
They both left
Jay: I need you to talk to me kiddo
Jaylen: no no no
Jay: What do you feel right now?
Jaylen: angry. Really fucking angry
Jay: give me the knife. I don't want you to hurt yourself
Jaylen: maybe I should! I fuck up everything. If mom and dad could see me now they'd be disappointed. They would hate me
Jay: Jaylen
Jaylen: I don't know who I am anymore. I don't recognise myself. I'm physically and mentally exhausted.
Jay: you're a brilliant young man who's a little lost. Please make the right decision bud
He handed me the knife
Jay: let me take you home but first you're gonna apologise
He took the shoebox and we went downstairs
Jaylen: im sorry Jessica. I'm sorry for scaring you
Jessica: it's okay. I know this probably doesn't mean anything but im really sorry for what my brother did to your parents. I didn't know this house was theirs. It was the cheapest house I could find. I'm a single mother with 2 kids and this house was the only one I could afford. If I knew then I wouldn't have bought it
Jaylen: it's not your fault. Keep the house. I'll leave
Jay: Erin can you take Jaylen to the car?
They both left
Jay: do you want to press charges?
Jessica: no his life has already changed I can't do that to him
Jay: im really sorry for what Jaylen did. I know there's no excuse but these last few months he has been struggling. He was put into care and had to move to a foster family in San Diego
Jessica: im sorry for what Brandon put him through
Jay: I should get going
Jessica: if there's anything he needs please let me know
I left and went out to the car. I started driving. I dropped Erin off and went home.
Jaylen took his shoebox and went up to his room. I went over to Kelly and gave him a kiss
Kelly: how was work?
Jay: okay. There's something I need to tell you both
Lena: is everything okay?
Jay: I had a call about Jaylen today. He broke into his old house and when I turned up he was arguing with the homeowner. I went into the room and he was threatening the lady with a knife
Lena: what?!Lena pov
Jaylen stumbled downstairs. He looked really off balanced
Lena: hey you okay?
Jaylen: f-fuzzy
Lena: let's lay you down
Jaylen was just mumbling. I helped him lay down. His eyes kept rolling back and he was tryna fight it
Kelly: we can't let him go to Antonio's like this
Jay: I'll ring him
Jay left to make the call
Kelly: let it happen bud
All of a sudden his body tensed before forcefully convulsing. After a few minutes the seizure stopped and after a while miner he began to come around. He tried to sit up
Lena: slowly honey
He was just mumbling tryna get his words out
Lena: what's up sweetie?
Jaylen: f-f-fuzzy
Kelly: another seizure?
His eyes started rolling back
Lena: let's lay you back down
He laid down and started seizing. Jay walked in
Jay: just told Antonio said he'd drop by tomorrow so Diego can say goodbye.
After a few minutes the seizure stopped and he began to come around. He tried to sit up so I helped him
Jaylen: t-tired
Lena: why don't you go up to bed?
Jaylen: b-but Diego?
Jay: he's gonna come and see you tomorrow
Jaylen went upstairs
Kelly: what times the flight tomorrow?
Lena: we have an open ticket so whenever Jaylens ready I suppose
Jay: chicken and chorizo pasta for dinner?
Lena: sounds nice.
Kelly: me and Jay were thinking what if Jaylen had Daniel as a therapist?
Jay: it will be someone he knows and who knows him
Lena: but he wouldn't be able to see him
Jay: Daniel can do it through a zoom or phone call
Lena: yeah I'll talk to him about it
We had dinner and I packed our bags
