Jeremy's Past

Jeremy's Past

It's a regular night at the pizzeria, and with their shifts done and finally on their off's the guards decide to talk about their past, before working at the pizzeria. "So who's first?" Vincent asks.

Scott smirks and puts his arm around his little brother. "Us of course." The guards looked at each other to agree, and they nodded.

"Sure go ahead." Jeremy said holding onto a box tight.

"Okay." Vincent replied. He and Scott open up a box and reveal a blue and red cape. "When we were little, these capes we used for many things." He explained.

"Like what?" Mike asked.

"Pirates!" Scott cheered with a smile.

"Super Heroes." Vincent cheered as well. Their friends laughed seeing how their friends was acting making Vincent and Scott blush in embarrassment.

"That's pretty cool." Jeremy said with a smile.

"Thanks." Vincent replied still blushing. Jeremy smiled, and he saw his best friend Mike, go up next.

"Alright. Well before I start. When Jeremy and I were kids, we would go on many adventures together." Mike explained.

"Oh!" Jeremy remembered with a smile. "I remember."

"Yeah are mom's were so worried about us." Mike replied.

"Why?" Vincent asked.

"Well mostly Mike and I would explore we would sneak out of the house." Jeremy explained.

Mike chucked. "Sorry I always got you in trouble with your mom." Mike apologized.

"Its okay, and sorry too." Jeremy said. Mike smiled and hugged his best friend.

"Here is mine! My medal for reading the most books." Fritz said. He waited for a bit, but no reply only a smile. To not make this more awkward he sat back down. Jeremy sighed knowing he was next and showed everyone a police officer's hat. Mike's eyes widen knowing who used to wear that hat.

"Jeremy is that?" Mike asked.

Jeremy nodded. "My dad's police hat."

"Your dad was a police officer?" Vincent asked. Jeremy nodded in reply.

"That's so cool!" Fritz cheered.

"It was." Jeremy replied. He then gave a small frown, and looked like he was ready to cry.

"Wait!" Scott said noticing the tears from Jeremy's eyes. "I'm guessing your dad."

Jeremy nodded. "Yeah, died." He said as the tears started to fall. The guards, except Mike, who knew what happened to his father looked worried for their friend, and Fritz went to him and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"I remember you telling me this Jere." Mike said looking sad as well.

"I'm sorry." Vincent said looking down.

"Its my fault okay." Jeremy said, almost like yelled it.

"No its not." Fritz said.

"If you heard the story you would see it was my fault!" Jeremy yelled as tears streamed down faster on his face.

"Well. What happened?" Scott asked.

Jeremy sighed. "It happened a month before I moved into Mike's neighborhood."

Flashback

Jeremy was 5-years old playing on his room, when he saw a 'BREAKING NEWS' story about a police chase, and he saw his dad's police car chasing the criminal. He then went outside, and saw the criminal get out of his car, and start running. "Go dad!" He cheered.

Suddenly, the criminal spotted him seeing he was one of the officer's son's, and decided to do a little payback; he grabbed his gun and went over to Jeremy, ready to shoot him. Jeremy was confused and scared at what was going to happen, so he closed his eyes, and covered himself.

He then heard 2, maybe 3 shots and when he opened his eyes, he saw that his dad saved his life, by taking two shots to the stomach and one to the chest.

"DADDY!" Jeremy screamed, he hugged his dad's dying body, as his blood soaked through his clothes.

"J-Jeremy." Jeremy's dad, Jordan coughed. "I'm sorry." Where his last words, as he closed his eyes and died.

"Daddy." Jeremy said, but no reply. "Daddy! DADDY!" Jeremy screamed. Jeremy's mom, Eliza and the other officers came by to arrest the man. One of the officers told Eliza that he husband is dead, and once she heard it, she cried just like Jeremy. The officer walked towards Jeremy.

"I'm sorry Jeremy." He said. Jeremy turned around, as tears fell down on his face. "Your father is gone."

Jeremy's eyes widen as he refused to believe it. "No! NO! It can't be!" He screamed.

The officer shook his head. "I'm sorry." Jeremy cries loudly and runs off.

"Jeremy!" Eliza yelled to call her son back, but he didn't just kept on running. She then went off to chase him. "Jeremy! Come back!"

"Leave me alone!" Jeremy yelled as he continued running. Eliza caught up to him, and hugged Jeremy tight, crying onto him. Jeremy struggled to let go. "Let me go! I want daddy!" He yelled.

"Daddy's gone now!" Eliza yelled, stopping Jeremy from struggling. "I'm sorry." She whispered as she hugged tighter. Jeremy stood there for a few seconds, and cried on his mom.

A few days later, Jeremy hasn't recovered and all he did was stay in his room looking at his dad's picture. Even after the funeral Jeremy didn't get any better. Eliza decided it was best for her and Jeremy to move, since now their area is a bad place, and didn't want Jeremy to get hurt.

Eliza sighed and went to Jeremy's room. "Jeremy." She said, but Jeremy didn't look up. "I think its best we move from here."

"MOVE!" Jeremy yelled.

"Its too dangerous here honey." Eliza said putting her arms around Jeremy, and hugging him tight. Jeremy hugged his mom back and cried some more. For the next few days, Jeremy and his mom start packing and move to their new house.

End of Flashback

Jeremy was wiping the tears from his eyes. "And that's when I moved, met Mike, and tried to forget about my past." He explained sniffling a bit. Mike went to Jeremy and gave him a hug, and Jeremy hugged back.

"I'm sorry for your dad, Jere." Scott said going to his friend, whipping the tears from his eyes, and hugged him back.

"Me too." Fritz said also going to him.

"Same." Vincent replied.

Jeremy gave a small smile. "Thanks."

"Anytime." Mike said. Jeremy smiles and hugs his friends back.

Jeremy then looked at his dad's hat, and decided to put it on. He looked and saw his dad's reflection, but quickly went to Jeremy's own reflection.

"It suits you." Mike said going to Jeremy and putting his arm around him.

"Thanks." Jeremy said putting his arm around Mike. Mike pats him on the back. "Do you think my dad would be proud of me?"

"I'm sure he would." Fritz said.

"And don't forget he's always watching you." Vincent said with a smile. Jeremy smiled and hugged Vincent, he was surprised with the hug, but he hugged Jeremy back. "You okay?" He asked.

"A little." Jeremy said as he wiped his tears away. Vincent then gives him a tissue. "Thanks." He blew his nose and wiped his tears away.

"Anytime." Vincent replied.

Jeremy smiles and Vincent smiled back. "Thanks for comforting me you guys." Jeremy said whipping the rest of the tears from his eyes.
