Jeremy's POV
I laid down in the bathroom, crying to myself. My father was drunk. As usual. I need to get out of here. This house in general.
There was a small whimpering outside my door... Kevin! I had completely forgot! Opening the door I gasped then pulled him in and locked the door. He had a bleeding red cut on his face. It didn't look like if was knife cut... more he was whipped.
I stared in shock, "What h-happened? What did he d-do?!" My eyes began to tear up he was only seven and he had a soon to be scar on his face.
Quickly grabbing a rag I dabed his cut- er, slash. His big Brown eyes were red from crying. Looking up at me he hugged me as tight as his little arms could.
"Why... Why does Daddy do this to us?" Dad had a job and only spent the money on beer. I sighed Kevin and me never got much to eat because we didn't have the money. I didn't want my younger brother to end up like me, I wouldn't let it happen. There was one problem needed to grant the wish though. A job. I had an idea.
"H-Hey Kevin, wanna look for a job with m-me?"
"Yeah..."
I jumped out of our bedroom window turning around just in time to catch Kevin. The bedroom was on the second story but we were able to learn how to get out without getting hurt. The trouble was getting back in. But we'd deal with that later.
It was a chilly day in fall, in a few days it would be winter.

Kevin and me had been walking for awhile when we finally reached the town. Looking around Kevin pointed out a 'Help Wanted' sign. It was for Freddy Fazbears Pizzeria, they needed a night guard. My eyes brightened as we walked up to the pizzeria. Kevin almost ran, we had went there a lot when we were younger. The last time we went there was during The Bite of 87'.
I was ten and Kevin was two, a young boy around my age had just passed the 'Do Not Cross' Sign and got bitten on the frontal lobe of his head. Foxy had been the one to cause that. Our family rushed us out of there be for we could see anymore.
That was when Mom was with us, I thought sadly.
Gettling dragged in by Kevin made me happy. At least he was here.
We jogged up to the counter, where who I assumed was the boss was standing. "How can I help you, good sir?" He asked me happily.
"I-I wanted to a-apply for t-the job."
"Yes, of course! What's your name?"
"Jeremy Fitzgerald."
"You're in!" I almost jumped for joy. Kevin let out a tiny squeal.
The boss looked down at him still smiling, "And who might this be?"
"H-He's my l-little brother Kevin." Kevin nodded shyly and hid behind me.
"Oh dear! What happened to your cheek Kevin?" I looked down to my sibling who was staring back at me nervously.
"I tripped on the concrete."
"Well I hope your cheek gets better!" He handed my my work uniform.
"T-Thanks," I said smiling.
"Oh, one more thing. Get here by 11:40 tonight. You will have a partner with you to help you throughout your first week."
"Oh O-Ok," I stuttered wondering who the other guy was, "C-Could we by s-some pizza to go?"
"Sure, and its half off now that you're an employee," He chuckled, "Here you go!"
We left the pizzeria happily. A few blocks down we sat and ate the pizza. It was acually pretty good.
Kevin got some on his uninjured cheek. I laughed and he wiped it off with is sleeve.
Things are finally starting to look up, I thought cheerfully.
[A/N: Well that was the first chapter! What do you think so far? I plan on posting every two or three days. Don't panic if I stop updating for awhile, I'll probably just be taking a break.
Um... I drew the cover myself... I'm using Rebornicas Au so yeah...
