Merome: Hate is a Strong Word

Chapter 10

Hey guys, what’s going on? I’m sorry I kept you waiting for a few days… but here you go! I hope you all enjoy :)

+++Jerome’s P.O.V.+++

I heard a knock on my door. Luckily my Mother had already gone to work and my Father is out of town Mitch and I were sitting in my living room playing GTAV. I paused the game and got up and walked to the door. I looked through the peek hole and a twenty something year old man was standing there with his hands in his pockets. I opened the door and we made awkward eye contact. 

“Hello, My name is Markus Phylls. I’m Mitchell Hughes’ butler. Is he here?” The man said. I knew him from some where but I couldn’t figure out where I knew him from. I nodded and invited him in. He accepted my offer and stepped in. 

“Mitch!” I called from where we were standing in the main room of my house. A few seconds later Mitch walked in and he smiled when he saw Markus. He walked over to him and gave him a quick hug. “I didn’t think you’d actually come here.” Mitch told him. “Are you ready to go?” Markus asked Mitch. Mitch gave him a nod. “I will go get my stuff.” Mitch answered and climbed up to my room.

Wait, what does he mean? No one is going any where unless I know where they are going. 

A few minutes passed and then Mitch showed back up. "Alright, I’m ready to go.” Mitch said. He started to leave but I grabbed him by the arm. “Can I talk to you in the living room for a moment?” He gave me a nod, dropped his bag and followed me into the living room. “What?” he asked. “We both know I can’t stay here for long. I’m going with Markus for a while.” 

“Okay…” I told him. He have me a quick hug and then he walked out… for all I knew, he could be walking out of my life forever.

+++MItch’s P.O.V.+++

We arrived at Markus’ house in a few minutes. By house I mean apartment. It’s pretty different from the large houses I’m used to, but I can make it work. Markus and his boyfriend, Cameron walked me inside to a small home on the third floor. “This is my apartment.” Cameron said unlocking the door with a key he had on a necklace. He opened the door revealing a small, but cozy room. It had several leather couches and a few chairs that matched. “You can stay here for as long as you need. I’m going to be staying with Markus a few rooms down. If you need anything, just knock."

+++forty minutes later+++

I set my bag down on the bed. Cameron is nice for letting me stay in his house for a while. He’s even letting me use his bed. 

I set a pillow down in the window sill and sat down, staring out at the street below. Until now, I didn’t realize how much I actually miss my family… I wish I could back time to when I was five and my family actually cared about me. I felt a hot tear roll down my cheek. I wiped it away quickly, but more kept rolling down my face. Soon there was full blown sobs. I guess there’s nothing I can do to stop it…..
