Love hurts?

I'll be there

Jermaine's POV

It's been days now and Michael and Ocean still haven't moved from there bed. They just lay their holding eat other staring blankly into space. I've tried to get them to eat and they haven't slept. They just lay there motionless and every now and then I hear them crying.

After fixing them both up some breakfast I head into their room and their still just laying there. "I brought you guys some breakfast." I smile through pursed lips and they don't say a word. I go over and open the curtains and sit at the edge of the both. "You two need to come out of this room"

"For what?" Michael mumbles faintly "because it's not good for you just laying here. And some woman called the house earlier and said something about a missed doctors appointment but wouldn't tell me what for" he doesn't say anything, just shrugs at me disinterested "have you been taking you medication?" He doesn't answer me and I go over to his draw "Michael, you need to take these every day!" I say sternly noticing he hasn't taken it in days. I go over and hand it to him and his sits up. Quickly swallowing them dry. "Happy now?" He says coldly laying back down next to Ocean. "I will be once you've eaten and come downstairs"

"I'm not hungry" Ocean mumbles faintly "just try and eat something please? We need to talk about what we're gonna do about DJ"

"DJs gone remember?" Ocean mutters and they both start sobbing again. "And he'll be back with you both soon. We just need to work out where we go from here" I try to reassure them but they don't say anything. "I'd like to speak to your therapist" I say to Michael and he frowns confused "why?"

"Because I wanna help you, but I don't know how and you won't tell me what I'm supposed to do" I say concerned and he shrugs at me disinterested "do whatever you want"

"Well I need you to call him. He won't tell me anything without your permission and Ocean I'd like to speak to yours too if that's ok?"

"She sees the same one as me now" Michael mumbles. "Can I speak to him about you too?" I as Ocean softly and she nods disinterested and I turn back to Michael "so will you call him?" I ask and he nods. "Thank you....I'm just gonna head out for a little while. I have to run some errands and get some groceries will you two be ok?" They both nod not saying anything. "Try and eat something" I smile through pursed lips placing the tray of food on the bed for them.

Sherri's POV

For days Jessica has been walking around with a huge smile on her face and hasn't once mentioned Ocean. I understood why she wanted to keep Duncan and I agree it is for the best him being with Jessica instead of two teenagers who have no clue what they were doing or how to care for a child, but I never wanted her to take him like this.

"Coffee?" Jessica smiles coming into the kitchen with Duncan. "I'm off you work" I say in a neutral tone "I have a busy day myself" she smile "me and this little guy are gonna go do some shopping" she coos at Duncan "how can you be so cold about all of this?" I shake my head in disbelief "she knew what would happen if you went back on our deal" she shrugs "anyway, why are you being like this about it? You even agreed with me Duncan would be better off with me"

"Not like this!" I snap "you said you were going to do it gently and let Ocean see he's better off with you and let her get on with her life and be a child again. Not throw her out in the street leaving the two of them heartbroken and having Duncan wailing for his parents"

"And now they can be kids again. They'll thank me in the long run" she shrugs. "What you did was cruel. It was cold hearted and just plain cruel" I frown in disgust "well it's done now. Nothing we can do about it"
