When He Texted..

|Chapter 9|Protecting Others

Jimmys P.O.V
-----------------------------------------------------------

I was running away from that girls cage... I forgot her name. I tried acting as if I was never there in the first place.
Instead of going to my room I went to the kitchen where Mr.Brad was.

He didn't look like he was in the best mood so I tried I stay silent because when he's mad, he's scary.

Mr.Brad slowly turned around and saw me sitting at the yellow circle table. "Jimmy why aren't you in your room?"

"It's boring up there I wanted to be with you."

"Jimmy you only come down when I tell you to so for now go back up to your room!!"

I turned around and stomped up to my room. It was really small and dirty. It only had a tiny bed and a closet with my clothes in it.

I jumped on my bed because that was the only thing to do that wasn't so boring. I would rather be with Mr.Brad or the girl rather then being up her all by my self.

I was afraid of the dark and my room was really dark. I didn't have any light source in my room and that always got me worried. I opened my door and went down stairs quietly and slowly so Mr.Brad didn't hear me.

I walked back to the girl in her cage and saw she was cold. It was a small, dirty and cold area plus she seemed nice. So I ran up to my room and grabbed a pillow and blanket for her. I gave them to her and she took them.

"Thank you Jimmy."

She remembered my name.

"No problem...."

"Jordan" she said to me.

I don't know why Mr.Brad took Jordan she seemed really nice, a lot nicer then the other girls he took.

I looked at Jordan as she laid back down and the pillow and wrapped the blanket over herself.

I heard Mr.Brad walking and got scared, he can't know I was here! I tried to hide behind the cage and Jordan looked confused. I looked at her and said "Shh"

Jordan nodded and Mr.Brad walked in the room.
"Where did you get that blanket and pillow Jordan?"

"Found it" Jordan said trying to hide the fact I gave it to her.
Mr.Brad was observing the room than he saw my sock.

"Jimmy, Jimmy come here."

I slowly got up and walked over to Mr.Brad, he was mad at me.

"I specifically told you not to leave your room without me telling you and not to come in this room. You broke both those rules and gave her a pillow and blanket?!!"

"She was cold.." I said with my head down, looking at the floor.

"Hey!! He didn't do it I asked for the blanket and pillow. I told him to stay here with me and when you came I told him to hide." Jordan said protecting me.

"Why did you listen to her Jimmy?"

I shrugged my shoulders.

"Let's go Jimmy"

Mr.Brad pulled me to the kitchen and I waved to Jordan and she waved back to me.

"Look Jimmy, I know your only 9 but you gotta do what I tell you to do in order to stay out of trouble."

I nodded and Mr.Brad gave me a sandwich. It was my favorite type of sandwich, Nutella.

Nutella sandwiches are my favourite, I love them. I get them once a week but the rest of the days I eat salad and strawberries.

"Jordan may be hungry!" I thought to myself. Mr.Brad left to go go his room and I stayed to "eat"

I ran back to Jordans room and gave her half of my sandwich.
She took it and started eating the sandwich.

"Thank you Jimmy"

"Thank you for protecting me."

She smiled and I did to. I felt bad for her but was happy she wasn't sad anymore. I didn't know what Brad was doing to her while I wasn't there but I wanted to find out.

"Has Brad been mean to you Jordan?"
I asked while taking the last bite of my sandwich.

"I'll tell you if you give me a free answer."

"Deal!" I said a little to loud.

"Brad so far hasn't done anything to bad to me, but I'm scared he will."

"Mr.Brad seems mean but once you get to know him he's pretty nice."

"Alright my turn Jimmy, where are we right now?"

I wasn't suppose to tell her that. It was a big question and I would get in a lot of trouble.

"All I'm aloud to say is we are underground.. far underground. I got to go now."

"Wait Jimmy!!" I heard her scream for me to come back but I kept running. I was scared Mr.Brad would find out I talked.

I went up to my room and locked the doors. I jumped on my bed and heard someone in my closet.

I knew exactly who it was.

Before opening I whispered "You can come out."

The door opened and it was Jenny!

"Jimmy my favourite 9 year old little boy!"

"Hi Jenny."

I say while waving.

"Can you go talk to Jordan, I think she is sad and I don't want her to be sad."

Jenny nodded and went threw the doors, she went down to talk to Jordan.

The night ended and I hoped that Jordan wasn't sad anymore. Mr.Brad could be scary at the start I just didn't want him to make Jordan even more scared than she already was.
