37.

"It's about to be 12 and Jacques isn't here we have to go look for him" Jacques mom said desperately

"Look how Jacques ruined another thing for us" Ari said whispering, He told me he was with Chase I really wasn't worried but it was weird he wasn't answering his phone.

"He told me he was with Chase we can go get him" I said loudly

"We?" Ari added

"I'll go get him Wanda" Jacques dad said trying to make Mrs.Webster calm down

"No I have to go too isn't he with Chase you know that Chase is a good boy but they both aren't answering" Jacks mom said in a worried tone

"Let's go to Chase's house and pick Jacques up if he's there" my momma added

They all agreed I got in the backseat with Ariana.We took our own car because we thought it would've been better. The car ride to Chase's place was quiet, Ariana was annoyed facing her body towards the window.

"Two more minutes until 2009" I said trying to break the awkward silence

"Yea we should've been getting ready for the countdown but we here instead" Ari said with an annoyed tone

"We can do the countdown here baby it's okay" my momma responded to Ari

"It's not the same I wanted to show off my dress I was excited and my parents aren't answering their phone anymore" Ari said laying her head on my shoulder

I hugged her and rubbed her shoulder softly as I kept calling Jacks phone but it always went to voicemail.

"Nick go knock on Chases door with his dad" my mom said parking on Chases's driveway

I asked Ariana to come with me and she agreed.. thankfully she did I had nerves all in my body. I walked with Jacks father to Chases's front door and knocked three times. We waited ten seconds before knocking again no response.
"They not here Jacques" Mrs. Wanda said tearing up
(Btw Jacques was named after his father if y'all didn't know)

"We can go to his friends houses and check"

"Nicki you know his friends right please tell us their addresses I need to find my baby" Mrs.Webster said

I tagged along Mrs. Webster's car with Ari looking for Jacques but every house we went to Chase or Jacques weren't found.

"What if Jacques is home" Ariana said

"Jacques get back home I need to see if our baby is home" Mrs. Wanda said

We pulled up to the driveway and saw Jacques laying on the grass knocked out cold. I watched as his father cursed loudly while his mom tried calming his father down. Jack tried balancing himself when his father struck a punch to his face. Jack lost his balance and fell on his two knees. Hit after hit his father punched as Jacques tried covering his face. His mother tried pushing him away from Jack but it was no use he was stronger than her. I saw blood dripping from his nose and him trying to crawl to his front door. I got off the car hearing Ariana call out my name but I couldn't take watching Jacques intoxicated and getting punched. I pushed his father away and grabbed Jack trying to make him lean on me so I would have control over his slumped body. His face was bloody and bruised with cuts his dad yelled at me to put him down but I ignored him. I felt him grab my arm roughly pulling me back. Ariana got out the car yelling at him to let me go. He listened and released me from his grip. I told Ariana to call my mother and tell her to pick us up fast. She nodded and dialed her number waiting for my mom to pick up. I walked with Jack basically carrying him to sit on the sidewalk with me. He kept groaning and touching his face.

"Jack we were worried looking for you what happened" I said rubbing his hand

"Nick not right now" he said in a soft voice

His mother came rushing to Jack crying and hugging him. "Jacques baby don't do that again I was worried" she kept crying "momma I'm okay where's dad" he responded, he looked like a little boy in his mother's arm.

"Nicki go home baby, Jack can stay with me" she said rubbing my arm

Jack got close to me again, hugging me. "Ma let me stay with Nick right now dads mad and I can't defend myself" he said trying to speak clearly. "Okay Jacques nick call me when you get home please" she said quietly. She wiped her tears and kissed Jacques forehead apologizing for his fathers actions. Jack was out of it trying to calm his mom while he was bloody himself. Once my mom saw me and Jack sitting on the sidewalk she ran to us helping me carry Jacques into the backseat with me. He laid on my lap while I tried to clean his face up.

"Nicki what happened baby why is Jacques beat up" my mom asked

"His dad beat him up once he saw Jack laying on the grass passed out" I answered my mom

"Ariana you wanna stay with Nick or do you wanna get home" I heard my mom ask Ari. I tried blocking out noise and only focusing on Jack. I wasn't even mad at Jacques anymore I was just hurt.

My momma helped me get Jacques to my bed she left and wished us goodnight. I took Jacks shoes and sweater off making him comfortable. "Jacques lay on ur back and once I'm done cleaning you up you can sleep I promise" I said rubbing his head softly

"It's gonna hurt" he said annoyed

I headed to my bathroom grabbing a bottle of hydrogen peroxide and a washcloth. I kneeled on the side of the bed, he closed his eyes and groaned once I added some hydrogen peroxide to his cuts I then cleaned the dried blood from his face. I ran downstairs to my kitchen getting an ice pack and running back upstairs to my room where Jacques was. I placed the ice pack on his cheek and finished cleaning the left side of his face. Once I was done I laid with him covering him and myself with my puffy blanket. He fell asleep as I kissed his forehead and caressed his cheek. I really wonder what happened that left him knocked out on the lawn. I knew he was drunk and probably high at the same time but I've never seen him like that. I tried calling Chase but he wouldn't answer my phone calls. I texted Ron to try to contact him in some way to make sure he was safe.
