Broken Home, Broken Hearts

**Chapter 4**

(Jasper P.O.V)
>>>Thursday>>>>

I woke up to the sound of arguing I pulled my pillow over my head. I didn't feel like going to school ether. It was pouring down rain and I was going to have to sit in the same car as Danny and I don't think I could handle all of that. Rolling over in my bed, looking at my phone I had 5 missed calls from my dad. There was a soft knock on the door. Pulling the covers over my head and I fake coughed.

"Jasper.....bro?" Danny peaked through the door closing it shut. I felt my bed lower a bit as he sat down and patted my shoulder.

"I don't feel good." I simply stated trying to sound as convincible as possible.

"Look, I apologize about what I said yesterday out on the field. It wasn't right.....I understand if you hate me and all, but it just disturbs me that dad broke up our family just to be with-"

"Apology accepted. Please leave your upsetting me." I turned the opposite way.

"Your not coming to school to day? Is it because of Brock? I warned him...." To be honest the last thing that was on my mind was some dumb overgrown adolescent child trying to get some attention.

"No I don't feel well!" I said a little louder than I intended.

"Okay...Okay" Daniel left and a few moments later I heard his car engine roar to life. After about a couple of hours of roaming the tv I picked up my iPhone and scrolled through my contacts there really wasn't much of anyone in here just mom, dad, Danny, and my only two friends I has back home, Skipper and Kevin. There was a small knock on the door.

"Come in?" I tried to say but it came out as more of a question.
"I have work today at 2:00 and Danny gets home at 6:00.....are you comfortable staying here by yourself or would you rather me drop you off at Practice with him?" mom was pulling her long brownish golden hair into a messy ponytail. She was the CEO of the Happy Homes Real-estates.

"I'm good here thanks anyway."

"Honey.....listen about what Daniel said......."

"Mom I told him it's okay...."

"No, we need to talk about this" She sat down on the recliner chair in my room.

"I am very disappointed in your father and I know you are too....he didn't even tell you that he's really in Nebraska with his Fiancé."

My heart stopped. Did she really just say that my dad left me here for some man ?

"Mom why are you telling me this?!" I looked out the window. Why can't they just mind their businesses and give me chance to figure things out by myself.

"Because you deserve better. I want you to live with us.....Permantly.." she caressed my hair. So many things were running through my mind. I love my father I don't want to just abandon him, but he did kind of abandon me in away.

"Is this all that you wanted!!!!!! your telling me these lies just to try and coax me into living with you?!!!!!" My dad isn't gay and he's not getting married, I refuse to believe it. I pulled away from her and I could feel my skin boiling in anger and disgust.....but she was my mother as well.

"Honey it's not like that!!!! please just hear me out." she pleaded grabbing my hand. I stood up an walked around a bit to calm my self down.

"I'm not making any promises, and I'm standing by dad and I know he would never betray me." I spoke clearly .

"Okay Jasper....I'm just trying to warn you, don't bite the hand that feeds you." she tried kissed my forehead but I backed up. More like don't bite the hand that feeds you lies. She left out the room and I went to to take along shower So I can think about what's going on logically.
***********

It was 3:00 and I'm outside playing basketball to clear my mind at this court yard around the corner from my house. The sky started getting darker and I heard a bunch of thunder but I just ignored it and made a shot from the 3 point line. I decided to take a break and jogged over to the water fountains next to the dance studio I used to dance at in the summer. No big deal just a couple of hip hop classes for like the first month.

"I've been waiting patiently watching

the time go by....heyyy

Anyone can see that I've been waiting

for the day when you'd look my wayyy,

Can you give me a sign cause I can't read your mind...

And time won't tell you how to see when love is blind......."

The soft music blared from the studio and I peeped inside curiously.
Jamie did various combinations of beautiful twist and turns and kicked his leg all the way up and leaped.

"I've been waiting for you,

anticipating what you do,

Please don't play these game with me my heart is sensitive you see,

I've been waiting for you, sick of waiting for bad news,

come on let's make a
new, cause I've been waiting for you."

He leaped high in the air. He danced with such emotion and passion, and his facial expressions were so deep. He was really telling a story. He was wearing nothing but black tights. As he turned I examined his body I noticed marks all over him.....I didn't like it. After executing the last move he put back on his shirt and sat down with his back facing the door.

"Hi Jamie" I said shyly knocking on the side of the wall.

"Jasper hey, why didn't you come to school today!!?" Mixed expressions of suprise, embarrassment and worry crossed his face.

"I wasn't feeling good today....umm I like your dance?" I walked closer to him and he stood up quickly.

"Y-you seen me?" Jamie was shaking.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" I tried to touch his arm and noticed the marks and he pulled his arm over his shoulders and backed away.

"It's ugly.....I'm sorry" he ran and put on and jacket and zipped it all the way up. Why was he apologizing to me?
"No, no it's okay. I just was saying your an insane dancer."

"Thanks" he mumbled before running out.

Something was wrong with the cheerful boy like teenager I saw a couple of days before and I was going to figure it out.
