Toby was in the locker rooms after PE, and Tate and Billy walked in with smirks on their faces, snickering as they approached Toby.

"Oh great, it's the freak show." Billy spoke, leaning against the locker next to Toby's.

"What do you want?"

"Getting tough, are we?" Tate pushed Toby against the lockers and spat in his face.

"You know what happens when you get all tough now, do you."

Toby nodded. He tried being tough but also wanted to listen to Jack and ignore them, but it was impossible. He's tried. No matter how much he's wanted to not listen to Jack, he's tried.

"We should teach you a lesson, huh, freak show?" Billy said in his annoying taunting voice.

Toby panicked and punched Tate in the face and ran out of the locker rooms. He immediately thought to find Jack, so that's what he did. As Jack was the only one who could calm him down. He was the only one who could protect him.

Jack was walking out of math and went to lunch. He heard loud and fast footsteps, so he turned around and found Toby tackling him to the ground.

"What's wrong? Why were you running like a maniac?"

"Tate and Billy..."

Jack'sgut feeling was right, he places his hand on Toby's shoulder in attempting to comfort him, "Fuck, don't worry about them for now, your safe with me." Jack helped Toby up and went to the cafeteria and sat down.

"Can I ask you something." Jack asked, after a few minutes after eating.

Toby looked at him, "What?"

"Why do Tate and Billy hate you so much?"

Toby sighs and shrugs, "I've been asking that myself. I don't know why they hate me. What did I do to them? Nothing! Absolutely nothing!"

Jack pulled Toby into a hug and stroked his hair, Shh, it's okay, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ask that."

Toby stayed silent and cried in Jack's arms, and the older boy ran his hand up and down Toby's back.

It took Toby two minutes to calm down, but every time he would, Toby would just break down again because of how overwhelmed he was over the situation.

"I don't know what I did to deserve this!"

"Shh, don't talk, just calm down. You're gonna make yourself worse, just calm down and breathe." Jack soothes him.

"I don't know what I'd do without you." Toby whimpered, looking up at him.

"Me too." Jack mumbles
