Jack

Terrified.

That's what I'm feeling right now. Terrified. My father walks over to me stumbling. That's all he ever is, drunk.

"It's time for your beating." He says messing with his belt. I back away shaking so much. He takes off his belt and folds it.

"Stop backing away." He slurs. I don't listen. Still backing away makes him even more angrier. Oh no I messed up. He takes a big step towards and you could hear the belt coming in contact with my skin. I screamed in pain.

"WHEN I TELL YOU TO DO SOMETHING YOU LISTEN!" He screamed at me. He hit me again.

"STOP! PLEASE!" I cried out. Another hit. And another. Repeatedly hitting me with his belt. He stopped then got on top of me and pinned me down. I struggled out of his grip, but it was no use.

"NEVER IGNORE ME AGAIN!" He yelled in my face, "DO YOU HEAR ME?!" I still struggled. Then he picked up my arms and slammed them back on the ground making me stop.

"DO YOU HEAR ME!" He yelled again. I whispered nodding.

"Y-es." I choked out. He punched me in the face then got off of me. All i heard was the front door slam. He always leaves the house. I get up slowly trying to get my balance. My legs give out underneath me, I caught the counter and stood myself back up.

I walked over to the couch and plopped down. I cried and cried. I want mom back.

My eyes snap open and expecting to be in the cold dark alley, I wasn't. Instead I was in a room. My eyes met with beautiful blue-green ones.

"Jack. What happened?" He questioned taking his hands off of my shoulders. I sat up and shook my head. My vision was getting blurry. I was crying. Jonah pulled me into a hug. I was going to pull away, but being in his arms made me feel. Safe.

I hugged back tightly and cried into his shoulder.

After that long hug he pulled away.

"Here let's go get your mind off of whatever you dreamt about." He suggested.

"O-Okay." I stuttered.

"First off, you can get a nice hot shower, and then I will take you out to eat." He said. I nodded my head, then realized something.

"B-But, I need clean c-clothes." I said. He thought for a second then went over to his drawer. Rummaging through it he pulled out a hoodie and a pair of joggers then handed them over to me.

"These are some of my old clothes. You can wear these until we go to the store to get you some." He said.

"T-Thanks," I said, "Where's y-your bathroom at?"

"When you walk out take a left, and then second door to your right." He explained. I walked out and followed the directions. I entered the bathroom, shut and locked the door.

Then I turned the water to hot and stripped down entering the hot water.

It felt nice to have a nice shower after a while. I felt cleaner and didn't smell nasty.

I slid on the pants then the hoodie. The hoodie was big on me, but oh well. I walked out of the bathroom and went to find Jonah.

"Oh hey Jack. You ready to go?" He asked. I nodded my head. He grabbed his keys and motioned me to follow him, so I did.

We pulled up to this place called. Chipotle?

"Ch-Chipo-Chipotle?" I struggled to read it. He chuckled.

"Yeah this is Chipotle." He turned the Carr off and got out. We entered the place and the smell of food hit me. My stomach growled.

"Go ahead and find a spot, I'll order the food." Jonah said. I didn't respond, and I went to find a seat.

Jonah

I grabbed the tray and went over to Jack. He stared at the food I put in front of him.

"Go ahead." He looked up at me then back at the burrito. He unfolded the rapper and took a bite. His eyes lit up and took another bite. Aww he's adorable. Wait what? Jonah stop you can't catch feelings for a boy you just met.

Can I? I shook my thoughts away and started up a conversation.

"So umm. What do you like to do?" He stopped eating and swallowed the bit that was in his mouth not looking up.

"Skateboard," He answered, "what about you?"

"Read and watch Harry Potter." I answered truthfully. He chuckled a slight smile on his face.

"You're smiling." I said. His face quickly went back to a straight face.

"Well you were smiling." That cute smile appeared again.

"Okay on and off with the smiling, huh?" I said. He let out a little laugh. That. Was the cutest thing ever.

"Tell me more about yourself. You're interesting." He looked up and out eyes locked.

"U-Umm," He stuttered, "I have three sisters. Four, but I haven't really met her yet. My mom, she left us when I was little."

"What about your dad?" I questioned. He flinched at the mention of 'dad'. It grew me curious.

"My-My dad?" He said, I nodded, "We uh didnt really have the best father son relationship." My eyes widened. I knew what he was talking about.

"Did he?-" he cut me off with a simple nod. I got up and wrapped my arms around him. He didn't he's irate to do it back.

"I'm so so sorry you had to go through that." I said.

"It's fine." His voice came out muffled due to his face being in my chest.

"Don't worry. I'm here for you. We can go find your sisters. I promise you that."
