Chapter 25: You Can What?

J E R E M Y (Jeremy's P.O.V.)

"What do you mean you know where she's at?" I glared at my so called 'father'.

When Ma told me to calm down before, all that flew out the window when this man said this.

"I'm just saying whatever I know." He shrugged.

"Listen James. When you told me you needed to talk to me about something important, I listened. I didn't want to. But, I gave you a chance. Now, I'm so close to kicking you out of my house!" Ma told him threateningly. I would have given her a high five if this wasn't serious.

"I'm being serious Michelle. Stephanie was important to me too. She was my little girl." He cried out.

"You didn't think she was your little girl when you kicked her out of the house!" I yelled.

"I know that. I regret it now. But if I know where she is, let me help!" He sobbed.

"I don't believe you." Ma snapped.

"I do." All of our heads snapped to the door and we saw Dom standing there with red, swollen eyes.

"Baby!" Ma cried. She walked over to Dom and grabbed him into a hug. Dom wrapped his arms around her and squeezed gently.

"My son, at least you believe me." James smiled. Don looked up from the hug and just gave a blank look to him.

"I'm not your son. But as long as you know where my sister is, I will show you respect." He snapped. James looked taken back and his eyes watered.

"I just want to show you that I want to come back." He chocked out.

"I think you should leave." Ma whispered.

"What about Stephanie?" Don yelled.

"Do you really think he'll help without wanting anything back?" Ma questioned.

"I honestly don't want anything! If I know where my little girl is, I want her back. I want her back in the family that loves her!" He yelled back.

"Ma, I don't care what his motives are behind this. We all know this, that you thought Stephanie would never be back. And now that she is, you're not doing anything to bring her back!" Don yelled. Her eyes widened and tears pricked her eyes. This whole time I just stood quiet, not really wanting to make the situation worse.

"I want her back Don. I just don't know if I can trust the man that kicked his daughter out in the first place." My fist clenched and I just glared at James.

"I don't know how many times I'm going to tell you. I regret kicking her out. It was on instinct and I really want you all to have your family back." He replied.

"Then tell us where she is!" I finally spoke up.

"She doesn't live too far from here." He smiled.
