Separated (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 11

Jason
I shivered as I opened my eyes. I looked around and saw that I was still outside. Justin was snuggled in my chest, looking adorable as he slept. I stared at him, not caring how creepy it was. He had so many problems with his life, but still managed to keep a smile on his face. Even though sometimes it could be a fake smile, he still did it. I want to help him with the food situation because I know I could afford it and I'm going to give him food so he could eat. I know for a fact he will reject it because of how stubborn he is, but I won't let that happen. Also, his father punched him. I stared at his bruised cheek, the swelling went down a little, it looked painful. My dad wouldn't ever put a finger on me to hurt me like that. Yeah sometimes we joke around, but that's playful and what Justin's father did was out of anger. I wanted to protect Justin from the things that hurt him. I don't know why but I feel like I have to keep him safe and right now he is safe in my arms.

I took it my phone to see the time. It was 10:25pm and I'm surprised my parents haven't called me to- I was cut off my my phone ringing. Oops spoke to soon. I knew Justin woke up and he started to sit up so I could answer it. "Hello?" I said casually. "Jason Andrew McCann!! How come you aren't home? Where are you? Are you okay?" My mom screamed into the phone and scaring Justin and I. "Um..I'm okay mom don't worry. I'll be home soon I promise." "Okay please me carful walking home." Her voice showing worry. I said bye and hung up. "So...you have to head home now?" Justin said clearly not wanting to head back home to his house. I don't blame him. I wouldn't either. I don't want him to be in his house with his father. For all we know he could still be angry and will take it out on Justin again. "I don't want you to be at your house alone with your father, so come to my house with me." I tried to convince him. He frowned and shook his head. "I have to get home, My dad will be worried about me." He said. "Then I'm coming with you." He froze and shook his head again. I gave him a confused look. "You don't want to come into my house. It's dirty and now it'll be awkward around my dad. It will be torture for you to be in that house." I shrugged my shoulders to show him that I don't care. In all honesty, I was a little scared, but I don't really care if he had money or not. He seemed to think about my offer until he nodded his head which showed he agreed.

We walked back to his house. It wasn't that far just a couple minutes away. I looked at the small house in front of me. Justin looked away, probably embarrassed because my house looked nothing like his. I gave him a small smile to show that I didn't care and I won't judge him. We went in the front door and it was dark. There was a little light, but that was it. The house looked old and moldy. Everywhere my eyes landed on, there was dust. Not to mention that it was freezing in here. I shivered a little, they probably didn't have heat so I won't say anything. I didn't see Justin's father anywhere so I guess that was a good sign. Justin grabbed my arm and pulled me upstairs into what it looked like his room. "I'll get some blankets for you to have incase you get cold." He said and left. I took this time to look around his room. It was plain. The walls were white and didn't have any decorations. His bed was small to fit one person. I saw a desk in the corner of his room. I went over and saw a notebook. I picked it up and opened up to the first page. It was song lyrics. I flipped through the pages and the songs were really good. He was talented. I glanced back over to put the book down until something caught my eye. It was a jar and on the top it was labeled 'money saved for guitar' and there wasn't a lot of change in there. I wondered how long he was saving for. "What are you doing?" Justin said as he came back with a pile of blankets for me. "Nothing, just looking around."

"Don't brake anything." "I wasn't planning on it." I smirked. He came over by me and noticed I was looking at the jar with little change. "I've been saving for about a year now." His voice was sad, like he doesn't even try with it anymore. It's like he just gave up on it. Before I could even reply he walked away to set up a bed for me. I decided to drop the subject for now so I don't upset him more. "You better call your mom so she's not worried." "I'll just text her since I know she's mad I'm not home yet." I texted her saying I was sleeping over a friends house and shut off my phone. I yawned, tired since it late and I usually go to bed early. I laid down on my bed Justin made up for me and he did the same with climbing into his bed. Silence filled the dark room and I heard soft snoring meaning Justin fell asleep. Not long after that, I was asleep too.

🌸I have lots of ideas for this story that I think you guys will love.
How do you think Justin's dad is going to react when he sees Jason? Do you think he will apologize for hitting Justin? Thanks for reading🌸
