Derrick + Miles : SEASON 2 (boyxboy)

CHAPTER NINETEEN: GET AWAY FROM ME!!!

BRIAN

Today is the first Saturday I've had any alone time in a long time.

Brenda & Tori went to get their nails and feet done and Derrick went school shopping with Troy, Keldric, & Evan.

He recently told us that he & Miles are no more.

He said he isn't going to give up on Miles though.

I told him if he loves Miles the way he says he does then fight the good fight.

There's a knock at the door.

Well my Saturday alone is over.

I looked out the peephole.

It's Nick.

I opened the door.

BRIAN: NICK.

NICK: HEY BRIAN. CAN I COME IN FOR A BIT.

BRIAN: BOY GET IN HERE. YOU KNOW YOU CAN COME HERE ANYTIME DAY OR NIGHT.

Nick walked in the house and I closed the door.

We took a seat.

BRIAN: I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM YOU IN A WHILE. WHAT YOU BEEN UP TO?

NICK: I'VE ACTUALLY BEEN GOING TO MY THERAPY SESSIONS AND WORKING MY ASS OFF AT THE FACTORY AND LOOKING AFTER HALEY & TAMARA.

BRIAN: HOW HAVE THE THERAPY SESSIONS BEEN GOING?

NICK: SO FAR SO GOOD. DR. DAWSON HAS BEEN HELPING ME TO RECOVER MY MEMORY. I'LL HAVE THE OCCASIONAL FLASHBACK HERE AND THERE. SHE'S SUPPOSED TO PUT ME UNDER HYPNOSIS MY NEXT VISIT.

BRIAN: HYPNOSIS? AREN'T YOU SCARED?

NICK: NO. WHY SHOULD I BE?

BRIAN: NO REASON AT ALL. I'VE JUST NEVER MET ANYONE WHO'S BEEN HYPNOTIZED BEFORE.

NICK: IT'S A FIRST FOR ME AS WELL. THERE'S SOMETHING I WANNA ASK YOU.

BRIAN: WHAT IS IT?

NICK: I KINDA HAD ANOTHER FLASHBACK LAST NIGHT.

BRIAN: WHAT WAS IT ABOUT?

NICK: I WAS WATCHING THIS COMMERCIAL ABOUT THE ARMY AND THIS FLASHBACK CAME TO ME. IT LOOKED AS IF ME & YOU WERE ARGUING ABOUT ME JOINING THE ARMY.

BRIAN: YEAH I REMEMBER THAT LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY. I BEGGED YOU NOT TO GO, BUT YOUR HEART AND MIND BOTH DECIDED THAT YOU WOULD SO YOU WENT.

NICK: IT LOOKED THAT WAY.

FLASHBACK TO 2009...

NICK: MOM, DAD, BRIAN, I'VE DECIDED TO JOIN THE ARMY.

BRIAN: THE ARMY? WHY?
