THE BOY IS MINE

Part 47: A NIGHT FULL OF PROBLEMS.

••TWO DAYS LATER••

Jordan rocks himself on the chair zoned out thinking and trying to make sense out of everything, including his own memories.
But they all come back to haunt him that all this time Petey has been living his best life just when he had to hustle every day and night to get fed. Petey saw him struggle, he caused all of it but yet he also blames Miranda for keeping the truth from him about Petey... All this damn time!

He shakes his head and looks out of the window, how beautiful the city is across him.

Jordan: I can't call Petey.. I don't want to see him or hear his voice because if I do I might do something that I will regret to myself and I don't want to hurt myself, I want to hurt him. So hence I will do Jerome's job tonight and get some money to fly myself to Petey, I have to kill him with my own bare hands.

Jordan huffs clenching his fists as he continues to look out of the window.

••MEANWHILE AT GOLD REEF HIGH••

"Hey Lowell, even today?"

Lowell looks at Jordan's empty chair beside his and then he shakes his head looking up at them.
Lowell: I tried calling him countless times but he won't pick up and nor does he reply to my text messages. Has any of you talked with Anastasia perhaps? He might have been talking to her.
Scott: He dumped her before disappearing.
Lowell: Oh...
Justin: We did go check at his house but there seems to be no one in there, do you think he had a reason to relocate?
Lowell: No...but he might be locking himself inside the house. I guess I will have to go check on him myself tonight.
Scott: Okay, but do keep us posted if you find him.
Lowell nods.
And they walk back to their seats leaving Lowell frowning all by himself. He huffs browsing through his phone's gallery and checks out the pictures that they took together during the school trip, he huffs side smiling and then kisses his face on the screen.
Lowell: I love you Jordan, please don't leave me.

He huffs putting his phone down and covers his face.
He has never been this defeated and stressed before.

Petey receives complaints from Jordan's school about Jordan's absenteeism and he covers for him.

Petey looks up at Dylan sighing non stop and then shrugs.
Petey: There is no other way around this mess, I have to face him and talk to him. I think it's time that I told him the truth Dylan.
Dylan: Well it's not like you have a choice Boss, you have to pay him a visit and talk to him.... Tonight.
Petey: I was thinking about tomorrow since he has a job to attend to with Jerome tonight.
Dylan: You do realize that he might not come back from that job right?
Petey: What do you mean by that Dylan?
Dylan: Jerome is not a big fan of yours and only God knows what he might put your son up to just to make your life a living hell. So you have to be there before Jordan goes for that job and talk to him..

Petey huffs getting up to stand across him.

Petey: In that case then get everything ready so that I can leave immediately... I'll come back when I know that he has calmed down. It might take a while but this is a huge problem for us to deal with. So cover for me to the girls, make up something.
Dylan: Okay, just go.

Jerome: Hey Lambert Junior, you are quite early my boy, should I get you something to drink?
Jordan: Call me Hans and no I don't want anything to drink, thank you.
Just take me through what I have to do here so that I can do it and leave.
Jerome smirks at him and then nods.
Jerome: I need these guns delivered in the lost town right out of the city, in a warehouse and there you will meet with a man named Canon and Canon is our guy.
Jordan: Okay, so what kind of warehouse is it?
Jerome: Mackenzie will drive you there so you don't have to worry about the map or whatsoever.
Jordan nods taking the heavy bag and he grunts picking it up.
Jerome: Oh and Hans..
Jordan looks up at him.
Jerome: Be safe out there...
