Camping Gone Bad (2)

Jahseh's pov:

I walking over to the bathroom trying to make sure I was quick.
I opened the door in a swift motion causing me to hit someone.

" I'm so sorry" I quickly apologized.

" oh it's....." the person stops while staring at me with confusion.

" Jahseh" he mumbles out in a curious tone.

" yeah... uh.... do I know you" I asked still confused.

" it's Nick your old neighbor" he informs me.
It took me a moment to recall the name.

" Nick" I yell out remembering.

Nick and I were more than just neighbors, we used to be best friends.
When I was having problems with my mom he would always be there to help me.
I lost contact with him once my mom practically forced me to go.

" yeah we're you been all this time" Nick asks still in shock of seeing me after all these years.

" I..I.... it's complicated" I respond truthfully.

" we looked for you everywhere and your mom only lied saying you went to live with your dad" Nick informs me.

" well let's just say I'm in a good place now" I assure him not really wanting to get in too deep.

" hey you should come up to our camp site for a bit" Nick offers.

" uh I don't know" I say remembering I should probably go back to Stokeley.

" come on this will be such a surprise to everyone" Nick tries persuading me.

Being best friends with Nick allowed me to get close to his family.
They all made me feel like I was apart of them.
The nights I had no where else to go they would always be there.

" alright" I say agreeing.
Nick grabs ahold of my hand dragging me up to his camp site.

" Mama look who I found" Nick yells out as we reach his camp site.

" is that Jahseh Onfroy" she says gasping.
She comes over giving me a large squeeze.
I give in to her comforting touch.

She then stops and turns stern saying " now where have you been?"

" I rather not talk about it" I say shyly.

" I think you at least owe us something" she urges me.

" well my mom sorta sold me" I inform them waiting for a reaction.
I really didn't want to talk about this subject but maybe they could be the ones to finally relieve me of all that pain.

" oh dear.... I'm so sorry honey" she tries consoling me.

" it's ok now" I quickly assure them.

" how'd you get out" Nick asks this time.

" well it's complicated but now there in jail" I inform them assuringly.

" where have you been staying then" Nick mom asks.

" well I started on the streets until this man found me and saved me" I continue to inform them.

" I'm so glad your ok" she says hugging me once again.

" but we do have some news" she informs me in a serious tone.
