His Little Boy

"I think... I think I was so in love with the idea of saving myself that I didn't realize I was letting myself drown. " "And now?" "And now you're my lifeboat." It was only meant to be a favour. Only meant to be for a few weeks. Yet when Stryker Odello finds himself a Daddy for a scarred little boy, he finds the darkness that swamped his life cracking and splits of light shining through. High functioning alcoholic at best, meeting the needs of the little proved more challenging than he first anticipated. Broken and distrustful, getting through to Jamie Sinclair was a hard feat. Both damaged from the past, hurt and cautious, could they learn to let go and figure out how to love again? Or was life's only joy to direct a tragedy?

#Chapter39

He wasn't sure what was wrong. Not when so little seemed to be right. Jamie was right, but even that was wrong. The situation, the whole screwed-upness of it all... it was wrong.

/"Nothing,/" he managed to say. /"Go back to bed./"

He hadn't drunk anything yet, but somehow, as though prematurely preparing, he felt like he had.

/"No,/" Jamie said defiantly. /"Not until you tell me what's wrong./"

If he had been in a stable mindset, Stryker would have been impressed. The boy who a few weeks back wouldn't have said boo to his own shadow was standing there telling him no?

/"Jamie,/" he breathed, squeezing his eyes shut. He didn't want to look at him. Didn't want to see the harsh judgement or the bitter disappointment when Jamie realized, as he had been bound to figure out sooner or later, that he was just a loser. /"Please./"
