¤¤¤¤  Song for the chapter is              " Thanks for the memories" by Fall Out Boy  ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

Detective Nora Roberts came back and waited for Blake to wake up. She watched as he had night terrors while he slept. His body covered in sweat. The tremors that swept thru him,  let her know that the abuse he faced has been pushed so far to the back of his mind that he pretends it never happened while hes awake. 

How could this happen. How could every one ignored what happened to him. As soon as he mentioned his father,  she just never knew he had a kid.

Now she just needs to get him to cooperate and they can put his parents away. Shes seen alot and this always got to her when she kids victims of their own parents.

Blake woke up and was now looking at her. "Was there something else you want?" he asked.

"I was wondering if you would talk to your mom wearing a wire so we catch them in their lies." She asks him.

"Yea ok." He said looking down at his hands.

"I can understand that this is an uncomfortable situation.  They cant get away with treating you like this."

"I know"

"Is there anything I can get you that will make time go by faster? "

" no moms supposed to be bringing my stuff tomorrow so I can leave.  I will be fine when I get my guitar"

"ok I will be back in the morning. " she tells him and leaves.

She picks up the pictures from the Doctor and discusses the bruises and scars that cover his body. She asks about using a meeting room to talk to the mother. She then goes home for the night thankful her kids are safe from having to have parents like his.

The next day came and I was struggling with the loneliness that came with it. Detective Nora came in and put a recorder in my room that I have to turn on when my mom came.

Its around one when she finally shows. She slowly opens the door and I hit record. She comes in with my back pack and guitar.  She sets the guitar on my bed and looks away. 

"thanks" I tell her. She just nods and looks around my room. Not sure what shes expecting to see. I wonder if shes thinking about Jack.

"your still leaving? " she whispers.

"Yeah as soon as Im released. "

She nods again still not looking at me. "Things should of been different.  Its too late now. Our life changed for the worse when Jack died."

"It dont matter anymore.  Nothing matters anymore and maybe things will be better for you when Im gone."

" I doubt it."

"Mom I forgave you along time ago. I wish it was me that died not Jack. I cant change what happened but Im not coming back and hopefully that will be enough. "

"It will never be enough for your father. He hates everyone. "

"Why did you tell the cops that I did this to you and him?"

"Hes just going to attack me worse if he goes to jail when he comes out. I dont want him chasing after you when you leave either. Besides your a minor they wont do anything to you, if we dont press charges."

"ok mom. You can go. Thanks for everything. " I tell her. She just looks at me and leaves.
