⚠️TRIGGER WARNING⚠️
"So, business meeting, huh?"
"Mhm."
JJ frowned and looked at the girl, "are you okay? Is everything okay at home?"
"Yeah, yeah, uh can we not talk about it."
He turned a corner, "What makes it so bad that you, you know," he gestured at her leg.
"JJ-"
"I can help with it you know, look you're obviously scared to go back, for reasons I don't know, so why don't we just, I don't know, go away for a week? We were fucking shot at, we should dip."
"I need to go home, blondie, they're really strict."
"Lex, what do they do?"
"JJ- I-"
He looked at her sadly, "I know what it's like, I know what you're going through, if you tell me I can help."
"I don't know how to talk about it, it's not like what your dad does to you."
JJ sighed and took another corner, "do they hurt you?"
"I mean kinda, but not really. They used to hit me when I was younger, but then they stopped-"
"That's something at least-"
"But now almost every time I do something, my dad will lunge at me, but before he can, well you know, my mom stops him, and don't get me wrong, it's not because she wants to help me, it's because she doesn't want her husband arrested."
They stayed silent for a while, a few tears falling down the girl's face.
"You could move in with John B, he'd love it-"
"They'd kill me, like no messing actual murder."
"Lex-"
"We're here."
"Lex, wait, please let me come with you."
She shook her head and silently got out of the car.
"I'll see you later, blondie."
The boy sighed and watched her walk away.

"Mom? Dad? I got here as fast as I could-"
"Your mothers out, you missed the meeting."
"Oh, right."
"Yeah fucking oh right, you embarrassed us."
"I'm sorry."
The man got up from where he was, "sorry isn't going to help us now is it? We do everything for you and this is what I get? You show no fucking respect."
As he got closer, Alex backed away; her father was quite obviously drunk.
"Dad-"
"Don't dad me you fucking bitch."
He lunged at her, his hand round her neck.
The girl screamed out but no one came.
Tears ran down her cheeks, the pain was worse than she'd imagined it to be. Sure she'd been hit by other people, but it was different when it was her own father.
"Get out of my sight, you disgust me."
She ran up to her room and shut the door, a familiar numb, fuzzy feeling sweeping over her.
