THE BOY IS MINE

Part 31: END OF THE ROAD FOR US.

Jordan: Just drop me home, I don't want to spend another night with you.
Lowell: But who will help you with your wounds Jordan? Your family can't know about this remember?... Stay at my place at least just until you are better and can properly use your arms.
Jordan: I will figure something out. Just drive me home and then bring my bike later, you can't always corner me on your side I will do my own stuff by myself.
Lowell: Fine I understand, you don't need to bite my head over this any longer.

Lowell sighs driving to their neighborhood and first drops Jordan home.
Jordan jumps out of the car without any word and just walks away heading inside his house. Lowell sighs starting his car to drive off.
Lowell: Great.. not even a goodbye to make my day any better...what a grumpy moron.

Jordan huffs walking inside his room and strips off the uniform stressing the hell out.
The police will probably show up in his doorstep any time now.
Perhaps he should just flee and never come back.
But what good will that do? How will running away solve anything for him?

"(Hits Jordan's shoulders) Hey Sonny you are back, I didn't hear you walking inside."

Jordan groans out loud and flinches moving away from his hold and Thomas turns to him concerned.
Thomas: Hey what's wrong?.. what's with your arm?
Jordan clears his throat turning to him.

Jordan: Nothing... just tensed muscles from sleeping on one side that's all.
Thomas: And what about your hands why are they scalded?.. what the hell burnt your hands Junior?

*Silence*

Jordan fiddles his fingers trying to think of a lie but a voice disturbs him from the hallway.

"I am the one that burnt him"

Lowell walks inside and then turns to Thomas.
Lowell: I'm sorry the front door was wide open Mr Hans Sir so I invited myself inside..
Thomas: Richards... Not Hans.
Lowell: Mr Richards forgive me Sir.
Thomas: It's fine just tell me about his burns, what happened?
Lowell: I mistakenly poured boiling water on him whilst we were cooking at my place the other night. It was an accident and I am really sorry about that.

They both glare at Thomas and Thomas sighs nodding.

Thomas: You need to be careful next time, is there anything that you need for your burns though Sonny?
Jordan: No Dad I'm fine... everything is fine.
Thomas nods and then nudges Lowell.
Thomas: Let me leave you two, Junior do tell Rose that I went to attend something at work if she asks okay?
Jordan nods and then Thomas walks away leaving them covered in silence.

Lowell: I told you not to come home just yet Jordan, now look he saw your hands what will happen once he sees your whole body?
Jordan: No he won't and I will make sure of that. I was just too careless with my hands just now because I am usually home alone around this time.
Jordan: Anyways did you bring my bike?
Lowell: Yeah it's outside.
He hands him the keys and then their hands touch, locking fingers for a moment.
Jordan looks up at him.

Jordan: I hope that you will stay away from me after this and I mean it Lowell.
Lowell: Will that make you happy?
Jordan: Yes it will make me really happy and you don't have to worry about me reporting you to the police when they come for me, I will take full responsibility for everything.
Lowell: Jordan...
Jordan: And that will be all Lowell.... Now please leave.
Lowell looks at him with pleading eyes and Jordan sighs looking away.
Those eyes.... They trigger something in him.
Jordan: Don't look at me like that, please just go.
Lowell: Fine then I will be gone.... Forever.
Jordan: Thank you that will be really appreciated

Lowell finally lets go of his hand and then he turns to walk away and Jordan sighs watching him make his way out of the house.
This is the end of Freak head and Redhead friendship. They can never be friends again because the betrayal is too great to forgive, he nearly lost his life because of it.
But he will definitely miss him so much though, that one thing is for sure.
