Spitfire squeezed his hands tightly into a fist,

but they both continued to shiver uncomfortably,

he sat up from laying on his back and stood,

walking over to his dresser,

he had a small mirror fastened to the wall,

it was the only place to stand to get a full-body image of himself,

he put his hands in his pocket and walked out of his room,

" Well?" Buddy asks,

" He's still in town,

he'll be over in a few minutes," Spitfire says,

taking a deep breath,

"Hey uncle," he asks softly,

Buddy turns around to look at Spitfire,

" Yeah?"

" Have you ever done any... Well... any kind of drugs

when you were young?" Spitfire asks curiously,

Buddy shook his head,

following a chuckle, " Surprisingly enough, No, I and your uncle Buddy the 2nd used to smoke a little weed from time to time behind mom's back,

but never got into any sort of heavy drugs,

can I ask why you brought this up?"

Spitfire shrugs, " No reason, I was just curious," he adds,

" Beau is supposed to pick me up tonight,

I'm a little worried about Dad, though," he frowns,

" Why?" Buddy asks,

arching a brow,

" Well, he hasn't talked to me other than this morning, I'm afraid he's angry at me," Spitfire worries, " he might not let me go,"

Buddy sighs, " ugh, dad's huh" he laughs,

Spitfire nods,

lifting his hand to see if it stopped shaking,

it was still trembling but hardly noticeable,

he then took his hand,

placing his fingers on his slightly swollen cheekbone,

Uncle Buddy was not aware of the abuse happening to Spitfire,

" Uncle?" Spitfire says slowly,

lowering his hand,

Buddy turns again to face Spitfire,

" Yes?"

Spitfire froze in silence for a few seconds, " Oh... Nothing,

I just wanted to say I love you," he says, cracking a small smile,

 Buddy was always a fun person to be around,

but he had no idea what Adam was doing to Spitfire nearly every night,

Spitfire simply didn't have the courage to tell someone about the abuse,

" Awww, I love you too," Buddy smiles,

and stretches out for a hug,

Spitfire smiled back,

hugging his uncle tightly,
