Chapter Fifteen

***ROLLAND POV***

I groan as something pushes me trying to wake me up. I swat at it and hear a childish giggle. I smirk, knowing Allen was trying to wake me up and I knew what he was going to try to do. Before his hands and meet my side to tickle me I snake my hand out and grab his wrist yanking him onto my bed. I roll over and sit on him tickling his sides. He shrieks with laughter. 

"NO FAIR! I thought you were sleeping!" He howls in between his giggles. He squirms under me, kicking his feet trying to get away but I continue to tickle him. "UNCLE UNCLE!" He gasps his chest heaving as he laughs. I stop my torment and roll over, my feet landing on the ground. 

"That's what you get for trying to wake me up." I grumble stretching and hearing my back crack in a few places. Allen wrinkles his nose. 

"That is so gross." He says getting up and fixing his hair. He tosses me clothes and points to the door, indicating I needed to take a shower. I swear sometimes this kids acts more like my mother then my little brother. I take the clothes he picked out and head to the bathroom. I notice the clock in the hall way and Grin. Allen had gotten me up a half hour earlier then normal so that I could get to the shower before Jeff. Smart kid, I knew there was a reason I loved him. I take a shower, enjoying the hot water and contemplate using it all. Sighing I get out, making sure there is plenty of water left, I didn't need to listen to Hank yell at me for making his son take a cold shower. I snicker. that boy NEEDED a cold shower to calm his wondering lust. I towel dry my hair, though it was still damp and then quickly check out the clothes my brother had given me. I swear this kid was trying to pimp me out or something! He gave me my dark green skinny jeans, a black tank top and a black and white plaid short sleeved shirt to go over it. It was button down so I could leave it opened. I put my clothes on and quickly run a comb through my now messy and wet hair before pulling the door open. I shout in surprise. 

"Holy S**t Jeff! you NEED to stop sneaking up on me like that!" I grumble, my voice rumbling through the quiet hallway. I can hear the sounds of Allen talking to Karen in the kitchen. I go to move but Jeff shoots his hand out placing it between me and the wall. I glare at him, folding my arms across my chest. "What?" I snap. He just looks at me and steps closer making me back up against the bathroom door. He presses flush against me. 

"Why are you with some flamboyant high school fairy?" He asks, a sneer on his lips. My anger boils and I shove he away from me. 

"Don't you DARE talk s**t about Oliver! you don't know him!" I growl, my hands balling into fists itching to pound away that smirk on his fishy face. "now Get out of my way. I need to eat before school." I move to leave again but he stops me, placing his hands on my chest and pushing me back against the wall. What did I tell you, cold f*****g shower for this one. He presses himself against me again, his face inches from mine. 

"You just need to be with a real man that's all." He says rubbing against me. It takes everything in me not to puke as bile rises in my throat. I try to move away from him but he has me up against the wall. Trapped. I look at him and give him my best glare. 

"Well when you see a real one let me know." I snap grinning when I see his anger rising inside him. I try to once again break away but again he stops me. "Listen this whole stopping me from eating thing is getting boring. Find a new game to play." I sigh and move. He grins and traps me to the door, placing both hands on either side of my head. he leans in, his lips almost brushing mine. 

"I'll show you a real man." He breaths before crushing his lips to mine. Shock runs through me and I don't move, all anger deserting me as he presses himself closer to me, his hands going to grip my hips as his mouth works against my unresponsive ones. He tries to pry open my mouth and I finally move. I lift my hands and roughly shove him away from me. He stumbles and thuds against the opposite wall. I stride over to him until I am at level with him. Perks to freakishly tallness? I can look down at him, forcing him to look up at me. I loom over him. 

"Try that again boy and see what happens." I growl my voice low with a threat. He glares at me before pushing past me into the bathroom. Before he shuts the door he turns around and gives me a sneer. 

"Be careful now, we wouldn't want Allen to be taken away from you now would we?" He says and slams the door. My face pales and I stagger a little, my hand reaching out to grab the wall to steady me. Great! not only was Lucas dangling Allen in front of me but now Jeff was too? How was this fair? My appetite deserts me and I miserably make my way to the basement to grab mine and Allen's book bags and spray on my cologne, knowing Oliver loved the smell of it. I put my shoes on and snatch Allen's out from under his bed and head back upstairs. I slink into the Kitchen and slide into a chair next to Allen. He looks at me and gives me a concerned frown, silently asking if I was ok. I smile and nod. He shrugs and passes me some of his sausage links. Not wanting to upset him and take one and bit into it chewy slowly as I wait for him to be done. I text Oliver.

TO Oliver:
do we have time to drop off 
Allen at the Middle school?

I get an almost instant reply.

From Oliver:
Yeah, I'm outside already.

I grin and get up

"Come on Al, Oliver is taking you to school today." I say ruffling his hair. He bats my hand away and gets up, carrying his plate to the sink and grabbing the lunch that Karen had made him. I hand him his bag and shoes which I had left in the living room and he quickly gets ready. We walk outside and I smile when I see Oliver leaning against his car. I open my arms and he slides into them giving me a huge hug. "Hey babe how was your night last night?" I ask after giving him a kiss. He frowns. 

"Jeremi came home late with a busted lip, She wont tell us who did it though." He says in a low voice, meaning Jeremi was inside the car. I frown. Did Lucas hit her or something? would he really sink that low? I'd have to talk to her later about that. Oliver turns to Allen and smiles. "HEY ALLEN!" He says cheerfully. "Ready for school?" He asks. Allen just groans. 

"DO you know how hellish seventh grade is?" He asks as Oliver opens the car door and moves the seat so I can slide in. Allen sits in the front after Oliver fixes the seat and goes around to jump in the car himself. He looks over at Allen and gives him his big toothy grin which always takes my breath away. Damn was I in love with this kid. 

"Hey at least now you will gain some cool points." Allen looks at him with confusion. "Trust me, you pulling up in front of the school in this baby will guarantee you some cool factor." He says revving the engine. He was right, this car was beautiful. Allen lights up, his whole face brightening with his child like smile. He leans over and hugs Oliver Hard. 

"Thanks Oliver you're amazing!" He says. I look out the window as we back out of the drive to see Jeff climbing into his own car. Since the Mazda had tinted windows he couldn't see me exactly but he looked in the general area of the back seat. He smirked and waved his phone at me. I groan, digging my own out of my pocket. 

From: Creepy a*s Foster Brother. 
Hope you enjoy your last few days with the Fairy. 
You'll come to me soon. in more ways then one ;)

Ugh the F*****g CREEP! I quickly text back.

TO: Creepy a*s Foster Brother
Whatever you say little boy. 
Oliver is more of a man then you could ever be. 
and I would know.

From: Creepy a*s Foster Brother:
Play nice. You dont want Allen taken away from you now would you? 
You'll see my side eventually. dont worry I can be patient. 

I ground my teeth together. Curse my luck! I was being threatened on both sides. I clutch my phone tightly in my hand glaring at Jeff's smug face as the car drives away toward the middle school. I feel a light tap on my shoulder and look to see Jeremi, my eyes widening at her appearance. Her lip was split and swollen and her cheek had a nasty bruise on it reaching under her eyes which already had dark bags under them. 

"Hey are you ok?" I whisper low enough so that Oliver and Allen cant hear me. She looks at me and nods. 

"Fine, it wasn't Lucas don't worry. Just some girls from a neighboring girls basketball team, they roughed me up trying to intimidate me since we are playing them eventually once the season starts." She says shrugging. I shift in my seat and open my arms letting her lean into them. Since Oliver and I had been dating me and Jeremi had become close too and it wasn't uncomfortable to let her lean against me in the car. " I think I got something on Lucas, we can talk at lunch when we are alone." She whispers so low that even I had to strain to hear her. I nod once and shift again making her move. The Middle school comes up ahead and We pull into the student drop off lane. Allen peers out the blacked out windows as kids scare at the car, a group of boys in his grade practically drooling over it. I lightly punch Allen's shoulder. 

"Oliver wasn't joking, see those kids, they are drooling over the car. You're set for life now." I say making him giggle and nod. We move up the line and before he gets out Oliver reaches into the glove compartment and hands him a pair of sunglasses. 

"I got a new pair here take these." He says and Allen slips them on. My little brother turning from cute shy boy to little stud muffin in two seconds. Damn when the hell did my kid brother grow up? He looks over at me and grins his childlike smile before slowly getting out of the car. 

"HEY HOPKINS is that YOUR Brothers car?" A boy says sauntering over to him. He shakes his head. 

"Nawh its his boyfriends car? got a problem with that?" He stutters his shyness kicking in. The boy shakes his head and slaps him on the back. 

"Nawh man you're brothers boyfriend is cool is he has that car." And the two walk off. Before disappearing into the school Allen turns around and gives me a thumbs up. I laugh as I climb out and get into the front seat. 

"Thanks for that babe." I say kissing Oliver deeply he giggles. 

"Anything for that kid. He's just too sweet." He says pulling out as the car behind us honks the horn. "How Rude" he says in a childish girly voice. Jeremi groans in the back seat. 

"Oliver you are not Stephanie Tanner! Stop acting like her!"

"You got it dude" He says, dipping his voice to sound like a toddler. This time I groan.

"And you're not Michelle Tanner either!"

"Oh My Lanta! then who am I" Jeremi and I both groan.

"YOU'RE NOT DJ EITHER!" We shout at the same time. Oliver grins and busts out laughing. I shake my head and take his hand as we head to Kenna's

"Hey babe why do you always make movie references. I mean I know you're a TV movie nerd but still, you surround yourself in it." I ask, something that had been on my mind since that first day I saw all the posters in his room. He shrugs as he pulls into Kenna's driveway.

"Well with my condition I wasn't allowed to play sports or play outside when Jeremi had her friends over, I couldn't play on a trampoline or play pass the football. I didn't really have many friends. So I stayed inside and watched Television and movies and Presto I became the nerd you see and love today. My parents don't mind." Just then Kenna comes bustling out of her house, her Weiner dog yapping behind her.

"OSCAR GO BACK IN THE HOUSE!" SHe calls to him. I quickly get out and move down the seat as she dives into the car. "Quickly get in before he licks you to death!" she cries and I jump in before the dog could reach me. We peel out of the driveway laughing as we speed off toward the school.

***JEREMI POV***

Oliver Grabs Rolland's hand as we make our way inside the school, Kenna leaving us to go speak with her drama teacher. I follow being the boys to Oliver's locker when I gasp. Up ahead Lucas and Lewis were standing in front of each other in a stand off. I push past my brother and run toward them. As I near I can see the way Lucas was holding himself, favoring his left side, specifically his knee. Oh gosh did his parents hurt him when he got home last night? AS I get even closer I hear what they are saying to each other

"She is none of your damn business you piece of s**t!" Lewis spits. Lucas just gives him a murderous glare, one that almost rivals my famous glares. Damn Lucas was Scary!

"Call me a piece of s**t one more time. I dare you." He growls, his fists ready to fly. Lewis drops his glare when he sees Me coming toward them. Lucas glances behind him and I gasp. he looked like he had had the s**t beat out of him, his hair unkempt, dark bruises under his eyes from lack of sleep. And I could see it in his eyes the pain from bruises that were hidden under his Shirt. I walk over and stand beside him giving a small weak smile before Glaring at Lewis, hate filling every pore. 

"Get out of here Lewis Its over. I'm done, nothing you will say will make me go back. Now GO!" I shout making Lucas wince. "Sorry" I mutter. Lewis just stares at me, anger filling him. He takes a step toward me but Lucas steps up. 

"You heard her Leave." He says pushing him back. "we don't want a repeat of yesterday do we?" Lewis just spits at Lucas and turns to me. 

"Whatever your loss B***h you weren't even a good f**k." He snarls and I cant help but laugh. 

"I wasn't good? Hunny you wouldn't know what Good was if it smacked you in the face. Plus you cant say anything with that.... well You know." I say holing up my thumb and pointer showing a small size. Lucas bursts out laughing as Lewis's face blooms red. He pushes past people and disappears from sight. I Look at Lucas and open my mouth to speak but just then Oliver and Rolland rush up. 

"OMG TWIN ARE YOU OK?" Oliver wails rushing to me and pulling me into a hug. I rolls my eyes and look over at Lucas. 

"Talk later." He mouths and walks away, I could see in his walk that he wanted to limp but he kept himself strong, refuses to let anyone see him being weak. I shake my head. that poor kid! suddenly I don't want to show Rolland the voice recording. Maybe I can get Lucas to lay off another way. Maybe I can talk to him. Oliver snaps in my face and I blink, shaking free from my thoughts and look at him. 

"Are you ok? You just zoned out there? OMG ROlland I think she's going into shock!" Oliver says concern oozing out of him. I shake my head and put a hand on my brothers shoudler.

"I'm fine Olly, trust me. Its just. I cant believe he was a dick like that." I say. Rolland snickers. 

"That whole bit about small dicks. Nice move." He says laughing a deep booming laugh. Yeah I can see why Oliver was attracted to him. Damn that voice. Kenna shoulders up next to Oliver and loops her arm through his, resting her head on his shoulder. 

"What'd I miss?" I shrugs and head to my locker, letting Oliver and Rolland fill her in. I hear her hysterical high pitched laugh above the crowd and snicker. I open my locker and was just about to shut it after getting my things when I hear my recently new Ring tone go off.

There's just so much God damned weight on my shoulders All I'm trying to do is live my motherfucking life Supposed to be happy, but I'm only getting colder Wear a smile on my face, but there's a demon inside 

Hmmm Why was Lucas calling me. I pull my phone out of my pocket and unlock it, killing Five finger death punch's song

"hello?" I ask hesitantly. 

"OOOOH You're a GIRL!" Comes an angelic voice. I take my phone away from my ear. Yup it was definatly Lucas's number on my screen. 

"Um who is this, Why do you have Lucas's phone?" I ask shutting my locker and leaning against it. I hear a musical laugh. 

"This is his older sister. Tell the kid that he left his phone here and to meet me in the parking lot." She says.

"Ok why didn't you like Call Arnold or something. that's his best friend." 

"You're number was the first in his recent contacts, didn't realize that you were a girl, your name is Jeremi after all." She hangs up and I just stare at the phone. Weird. I put my phone in my pocket and head down the hall to my first period as the bell rings loudly above me. AS I pass an empty room the door opens. 

"Jeremi in here." Someone hisses and I look to see Lucas peeking out. I follow him inside and he locks the door turning to look at me. "I just wanted to make sure you were ok, you from yesterday and this morning." He says limping over to a desk and easing himself into it. I put my bag down and go over to him leaning against the desk next to him. 

"I'm fine, but are you?" I ask eyeing his knee. I noticed he was wearing baggy jeans so that the fabric didn't touch his knees. He shakes his head and I reach out. "can I?" He just shrugs and winces. I lift his pant leg and gasp when I see the nasty swollen thing he called a knee. "What did they do to you?" I whisper more to myself then to him. but he heard. 

"Lets see, I didn't get home when they wanted me to, I didn't do the dishes in time, I didn't answer my Dead phone when they called. Oh and apparently I lied when I said that I stayed after to tutor someone in math. all in all a typical normal day in the Carver household." He says in dry humor giving me a sarcastic smirk. I roll my eyes. He shrugs again and winces, sucking in a breath as his hand flies to his chest. I automatically reach over to lift his shirt, so use to doing that with Oliver. He bats my hand away. "If you wanted to see me without a shirt on all you had to do was ask." He says, slipping back into the Lucas everyone else saw. but now that I had seen a softer side of him I wasn't going to let him get off that easy. I lean back and cross my arms. 

"Why do you do that?" I snap. He looks at me with surprise. 

"Do what?"

"You act like this big hot shot with an ego the size of nicki manji's a*s! yet I've seen the real you. You're a nice caring guy. Why do you always have to act like an a*****e to everyone else. WHY?" I ask a little to aggravated. He just narrows his eyes. 

"What am I suppose to show my sensitive side? I'm sorry I'm not a wimp!" He snaps getting up. I roll my eyes and push him back down. 

"NO you don't have to show your sensitive side jeesh just stop being a violent bully! You're scary, and frankly Mean."

"What are you trying to get at?" 

"Like with Oliver. What did my brother ever do to you beside being nice to you? sure he's sarcastic but he only is when you are a dick to him." Lucas glares at me and I almost back down, F**K he was scary! 

"I can do whatever the f**k I want!" He roars. Something pops in my head. Its a low blow but maybe it will work. 

"You know when you beat up on Oliver, you act like your Parents. An abusive Son of a b***h who beats on kids who cant defend themselves." And with that I turn around, grab my bag and Slam the door shut behind me.

***LUCAS POV***

I stare after her in pure shock. Was she right?

Was I really acting like my Parents when I beat up on Oliver? My mouth drops open and horror errupts in my already hurting chest.

"Holy F**k I am!"
