#6 of Nightmare on Jefferson

I know this doesn't seem like a horror, but I like to build up drama.


"Dang boy you got a gift." , said Jake, panting.

"Uh, well thanks."

"He's my card you dog."

"You're a florist?"

"Do you smoke?"

"Tobacco? No, never."

"Ha! I meant weed."

"I tried it when I was younger, but that's really it."

"You should stop by my shop, teach you a little something. Here is my card."

"Thanks but I don't think I should see you again."

"Then come by to buy some flowers for your doggy buddy."

"Fiancé."

"Yeah, I know that, but seriously come by." "Yeah sure, okay."

Jake patted Williams chest and left the bathroom.

"Shit, I shouldn't of done that. I need to go take Dane home."

William left the bathroom but didn't see that fox. He paid for his drink and left.

"Hey Dane, want to go home?"

Dane had been crying, and William could see the tear trails in his fur. He took his paws and wiped Danes face.

"You know I love you. I don't want anything to tear us apart."

Dane looked up at William with his sad little face, "I'm sorry Will, I wasn't thinking. I love you too."

"Let's go home, and you can cook, because I can't."

They both laughed and then William started the car and they headed home.

"William! I can't find my dad's stuff."

"I have no idea what happened to it, I swear I brought the boxes down here."

"This is weird. How do boxes just get up ad leave?"

"They don't."

Dane gave William a look, "You don't say?"

"Don't give me that!"

"Well! I can't find those dang boxes!"

"Let's just go to bed. We can find them in the morning."

"Yeah, I'm tired."

Dane grabbed Williams paw and they left the basement. Dane opened the door to their room and his fathers belongings were placed in the same way they were before.

"William! Is this some kind of sick joke?"

"Uh...no. I've been with you all day. When would I be able to do this?"

"Who else then Will?"

"I don't know Dane!"

"Really? Sure Will, sure. It's not like my dads stuff magically appeared here. You probably didn't even pack any of it, that's why they boxes weren't in the basement."

"Screw you Dane, I did pack your dads crap, and I brought it down."

"Crap?"

"Don't even start! I'm leaving. Bye Dane, see you tomorrow. You can pack your dads crap."

William stormed out of the house an got into his truck. He sped down the road to town.

Dane stood in the room and was getting redder through his fur. He started to knock things of counters and was yelling, "Why is this happening?" He sat himself on the bed and curled up with his knees to is chest.

Then a whisper,"He doesn't love you."

Dane's heart nearly stopped, he wasn't even breathing

"love, no love, there is no love."

Dane finally spoke, "Fuck, I'm going insane."

The wisher became erie, "He doesn't know love, how could he love you."

"Stop!"

The whisper became soft and was barley heard, "Never."

"Dane covered his ears and closed his eyes.

"This isn't happening. It can't happen."

He went under the covers in tears from what he heard.

Dane ha stopped and looked for the card Jake gave him.

"Doubt he'd be at work but I'll drive by just to see where it is."

He drove up the the flower shop and sure enough Jake was inside, with a customer.

He parked, got out, and went up to the shop. He exhaled and went inside.

"William? Already?"

"I just thought I'd stop by the shop, but I didn't think you'd be here."

"I'm always here, I live upstairs."

"That's convenient."

The customer, a jaguar, cleared his throat to get Jake's attention.

"Oh sorry, that'll be four hundred dollars."

The jaguar payed and left.

"Expensive flowers I assume."

"Yeah they get quite pricy. Follow me."

William looked a the bundle of cash and then to the register. He looked quite confused. Jake unlocked a hidden door behind a shelf. They entered.

"These are my children."

"Oh my god!"

There were rows beyond rows of marijuana plants. So many different types.

"You like it?"

"I don't know what to say. This is a lot of weed."

"Want to try?"

"I...I guess."

"Great come out back."

Jake grabbed a pipe, already packed. They went out back and it was very cold.

"My gosh its freezing out here!"

"Here, smoke it."

William took the pipe and Jake lit it for him. William kept coughing, and didn't stop for a good 5 minutes.

"Dang boy, I guess you haven't smoked in a long time."

"I never liked it when I was younger."

"Well, how do you feel?"

"Happy."

Jake smiled, "That's good." Jake took a toke and handed it to William. "Finish it up."

"I don't think I can."

Jake locked the door, "Finish it or you can't come back in."

"Jake, unlock this door."

"Finish that and I'll let you in."

"God dam it Jake!"

William tossed the weed out into the gutter.

"Are you kidding me right now? Did you really just do that?"

"Let me back inside, I'm freezing."

Jake opened the door.

"Well come in."

William walked in and Jake grabbed him and threw him up against the wall with his chest touching it.

"I let you in here, you smoke my weed, and throw it in the gutter? You ungrateful shit."

"Get off of me!"

Jake was strangely stronger than William even though William was way bigger.

"You're gonna pay.

Jake stripped William against his will.

"Jake, please don't."

"Shut up! I said you're going to pay, and if you don't do as I say I'll go tell your pup about us.

William sighed, "Fine."

"Good boy."
