in the shadows of Craig Lawence
CHAPTER 1
Craig came to us in the middle of my freshmen year, maybe I should say Craig choose us when I was in the middle of my freshmen year. See Craig gets whatever craig wants, craig wants a new sports car that’s worth more then our house craig gets it. Craig’s mother died when craig was 8 and I was 4, so he was raised by his father who was a sad, pathetic, desk boy who would never become anything more, craig knew this and knew this wasn’t what he wanted for his life. Craig learned to manipulate people and things to his liking and by the time he was in 5th grade he had become king of the town he lived in at that time. Craig never wanted any siblings cuase that would mean his power could be threatened which is where I come in, the scrawny, little, swim team, freckles galore, red head who couldn’t stand up against a toddler.
I never understood why craig took a liking to my family, it obviously wasn’t because of my mother who he hated deeply though mum loved craig (just like everyone else). Now I know your thinking that craig had nothing to do with my mother and his father getting married but in truth, they hated each other, it was ALL about craig, my mother loved craig he was the greatest son anyone could ever have, and craig’s father did whatever craig told him to and craig wanted to be apart of our family.
So the date was set, they got married over Christmas vacation and craig became my step-brother though I’ve never called him that out loud. Craig liked our house so they moved into our house and craig moved to my school. Within a matter of days craige had taken over my school single handedly and everyone loved him and did whatever he said, he even dated the head cheerleader the first week and made all five of the bible bells commit the sin of sex before marriage.
Every single person in the school worshiped him but me, and my oldest childhood friend, Lena. Lena was a beautiful, shy girl who stood about 5’4” and had long rich brown hair, always tied back in a pony tail or piggy tails sometimes. She was thin and could have been a cheerleader if she wanted to, but she didn’t believe in that kind of stuff. I had hoped to make Lena my girlfriend but I was much too shy and afraid to ruin our friendship.
Craig never talked to me inside school and I never told anyone I lived with him. Lena would have hated me if she had known he was my step-brother. So I kept that secret from her too.
Craig had taken over my mothers room, seeing as it was the biggest in the house, and my mother and his father had taken over my room, forcing me into the attic. It was quite cold in the attic and I had to bring in a heating unit so I didn’t freeze to death that winter.
About a month after craig had moved in and taken over my school I started to talk to him.
We were sitting at the kitchen table watching the tv that craig had made them put in. “hey craig” I said neverously, never having talked to him before.
“yeah?” he asked turning his head to look at me. His blonde hair bounced the slightest when he moved his head.
“c-c-can you help me with my math?” I asked though I was almost done and knew it like the back of my hand, I was hoping I could warm him up to me and get some advice on asking Lena out.
“sure kiddo” he said, he never called me by my name, it was always kiddo, baby, kid, always something that reminded me how much younger then him I was.
He walked around the table and stood over me, he looked at my problem I was pretending to be stuck on and started to explain “see all you do is replace that with that” he pointed and took my pencil, pretty soon he had finished my math for me.
“thanx” I smiled weakly looking up at him.
He messed my hair and gave his normal big grin “no problem babys”
I blush at this gesture, and looked back down at my paper. I figured he would now go back to his seat on the other side of the table but he didn’t, he sat down next to me, I looked over at him with confussion in my eyes.
“so you finaly gonna start talking to me or was this a one time thing?” he asked still gleaming “was starting to think you were never gonna learn to talk” he chuckled and I understood he was making another reference to me being a baby.
“I talk” I said “just, I don’t know, I’m just shy” i looked him in the eye but there was no hurt behind his words, nothing for me to be upset about, he said it all in a caring way, I cant explain but it was like when I was little and dad would call me his little baby boy though I was nearly 7 and by far not a baby anymore.
He nodded at me and went back to watching the tv, but from then on we started to talk more and he always sat there, next to me.
CHAPTER 2
I lie under the covers of my bed, the unit heater is up as far as it goes and im still freezing, I hear a knock and call out “come in”. its now the middle of febuary and me and craig have been getting along fine, talking about a lot of stuff, and Lena, oh Lena she’s plotting craig’s down fall but hey what can ya do.
Craig walks up the stairs into the attic and looks at me “you look cold, little boy” he says, he still is yet to call me by my name.
“its cold up here” I say and squeeze the blanket tighter, he walks over and and sits on my bed next to me.
He puts his hand on my forehead “I came up here to tell you some girl just came over with cookies, want some?” I nod my head smiling. “good” he says and pulls my covers off me, revealing my cotton, footed pajamas with a viper doing down the front. He chuckles and grabs my hand “come on baby boy, lets get you some milk and cookies”
I blush and say “please don’t tell the kids at school I wear these, its just so cold up here and there warm”
I smiled at me and rubbed my head “no problem baby” he leads me to the kitchen were he’s already set up two plates of cookies and two glasses of milk. I sit down at my seat and start eating and he sits down next to me.
“thanx craig” I say munching on the cookies and turning to look at him. He nods and eats.
Craig finishes eating his cookies and turns to me “you wanna sleep in my room tonight, toddles?” he asks, toddles was his own word for toddler.
“thanx craig” I say and hug him quickly then finish eating my cookies. He grabs my hand and leads me to his room as if I don’t know where it is, ive only lived in this house since the day I was born. He pulls out a mattress from under his bed, im not sure why its there but it is and he throws some bedding on it and a pillow “ly down, or do you need some help getting into it?” I blush and ly down and he starts tucking me in. he kisses my forehead “night my baby” he says.
“night craig” I say.
CAPTER 3
I’ve been sleeping in craigs room for the past 3 months, and its starting to get warm up in the attic. Its may if you haven’t figured out. I haven’t gotten anywhere with Lena, but Craig is turning out to be a realy nice guy.
Im thinking about how to ask craig to help me with the Lena problem when I walk in my door. I throw my stuff on the couch and go to craig’s room. I open up the door and there’s craig. Oh the horror, the shear horror. I run from the door and up to the attic. I lock the attic door and dive under the covers. Oh god, how could…that was disgusting. Soon I hear a knock coming from my door “go away!” I yell.
“come on, let me in” craig calls from the otherside “don’t make me call the police saying your gonna kill yourself”
I sigh and get out of bed and walk to the door and open it then run back to my bed and dive under the covers. Craig walks over to my bed and sitts next to me.
“now let me explain” craig says
“no” I cut him off “your disgusting, how could you”
Craig pats my head “its not what it looked like”
“then what was it?” I ask “there those not little kids in diapers? You pedo”
He sighs heavily “no, they weren’t little kids, well kinda”
“what do you mean kinda?” I say
“let me show you what I was looking at” he says and pauses “come out from under those blankets”
I poke my head out and he shows me this magazine, on the cover there’s two ADULTS! IN DIAPERS! My eyes go wide, why would adults be in diapers?
“see baby, this is called infantilism” craig says “can you say that? Infantilism”
I look at him still confused “why? Who? For what reason would u do that?”
Craig chuckles “fun” he says and opens the magazine to a page with step-by-step illustrated directions on diapering “that’s what I was looking at”
“why?” I ask
“you baby” he says
I jump out of my bed and run to the wall not wanting him to get me “stay away from me”
I look at craig “fine” he says and puts the magazine down and leaves, closing the door behind him.
I walk back to my bed and start to flip threw the magazine, I read an article on this thing “infantilism” apparently it’s very popular and can be a lot of fun. I look at the magazine along time till I figure ill go bring it back to him. I walk down from the attic, hiding the magazine incase I see mom. I go to knock on his door but I hear a soft crying sound from inside. I slowly open the door and there craig is, almighty craig, on his bed crying. But why? Did I realy upset him that much?
I walk over and put the magazine down. I stoke his hair “what wrong?” I ask in a soft voice.
He looks over at me “just go away” he says “im sorry that I scared you”
Im suddenly crying cuase hes crying and I throw myself ontop him, hugging him “I’m sorry craig” I say “you don’t scare me” hes stopped crying and its just me crying now, he sits up and scoops me into his lap and my face is in his chest.
“awww, poor baby, its ok, ive got you now” he says.
I relies he planned this out and stop crying. I look up at him “I’m not a baby” I say and pause just looking at him “but you can call me one” I say and rest my head in his chest again. He rocks me slowly till I fall asleep.
