THE BOY IS MINE

Part 26: MY CARING BASTARD FRIEND.

Lowell drives in silence as he takes Jordan along to his place to help him out with his wounds and scalds before anyone else sees them or maybe before he gets infection on them or something.

Jordan grunts in pain again as the car bumps on another speed hump and he glares at Lowell.
Lowell: Sorry.
Jordan sighs sitting up straight avoiding his body to touch or to get near anything that might inflict his wounds.

Lowell: We should take you over to my place so that I can take a look at your-
Jordan: Do you want to finish me off over your place now Lowell? Do you really hate me that much that you would do anything to get rid of me?
Lowell: No of course not, I just want to help you get better Jordy.
Jordan: That won't be necessary, I will take care of my own burns at my own house just take me home.
Lowell: Jordan don't be so stubborn how will you explain this to your family? You can't tell them the truth so what will you say happened to you?
Jordan: They won't find out about the truth, I will hide it from them and they won't see me like this.
Lowell: Jordan please don't, just let me take care of your burns and then you can leave afterwards please. We don't have to talk to each other or anything. I understand that you are mad at me about everything and I don't blame you. But since I am the one that caused all of this to happen let me at least fix it.... Please.

Jordan sighs and nods at that.

Lowell: Jerome is away for the whole week so you don't have to worry about him.
Jordan: Just drive Lowell.

It goes silent and Lowell continues with his drive home.
Jordan sighs texting Thomas and Rose that he is held up at the friend's place....  And he will probably be back much late so they shouldn't wait up for him.
He sighs looking out of the window feeling so emotional...he is literally heartbroken over this betrayal. He was starting to regard Lowell as his own brother but he does this to him?
So despicable!

Lowell finally reaches the Adams' mansion and it's the first time that Jordan steps inside it.

Lowell helps Jordan with limping inside the house and he helps him get seated on top of his bed and then attends to his burns.
Lowell: I think you will have to sleep over because this doesn't look good Jordan.
Jordan: No I can't do that, I-
Lowell: You will sleep here with me and that is not up for discussion... This is not looking good you need my help.
Jordan: Ow please why do you even bother yourself?
Lowell: You are my friend and I have to make up for my mistakes Jordan, come on please let me help you.
Jordan: Please don't, drop this act because it doesn't suit you at all... We are not friends you and I, not anymore.
Lowell: I suppose that you will never forgive me for this.
Jordan: Of course I won't, isn't that obvious?...what the hell did you think would happen after getting me burnt up like this by that damn bitch?
Did you seriously think that I was going to regard you as my friend again, what if I had died back there, then what?

Lowell sighs getting seated right across him and then he gently applies some ointment to his scalded arms and chest.

Lowell: I did what I thought was best for my family and I was just battling with trusting you. But that was all before I actually got to know you okay, I hate myself enough for this too.

Jordan whines enduring the itching sensation from the ointment and Lowell looks up at him continuing to smoothly rub his fingers across his burnt skin and Jordan watches him closely as Lowell attends to him.

Jordan (Whispers): But you were going to kill me tonight.
Lowell: I did what I did to beat Angela on her own plan, I had to use you to kill her and for that I am sorry.
Jordan: So I was nothing but a bait for you two to kill each and then kill me on the process of all of that, isn't it?
Jordan: No.. at least not on my side, I would never kill my only friend.
