Jackie's POV
I've been down in the basement for two hours now, and i'm pretty proud of myself for not screaming. I've seen a few things move but I just close my eyes and ignore it. I crawl over to the corner and hug my legs, I really hope that I get let out of here soon. I feel the tears start to overflow and quickly wipe them away, after a while I hear the door being unlocked. I don't stand up or move because I know that whoever it is, they aren't here to let me out.
"Um... hello?" a male voice says.
"W-who's t-th-ere?" I ask.
"I'm Alec. I saw what happened with your parents, obviously, and wanted to see if you were okay," he says.
"I'm f-ine," I say back.
"Where are you?" he asks.
"O-over he-re," I reply and see him looking round until his gaze settles on me.
"Oh there you are," he says, walking towards me.
"Y-yeah," I say, and he sits down beside me.
"Are your parents always like this?" he asks me and I nod.
"Yep," I say.
"Um... I'm sorry about stealing your room," he says with a nervous laugh.
"I-its ok-ay," I tell him.
"I...err... I found your journal thingy," he says.
"Y-ou d-didn't re-ad it did y-ou?" I ask quickly.
"No but I did bring it for you," he says passing it to me.
"Tha-thank you," I say gratefully.
"I know you don't know me, but if I asked you something...would you answer it honestly?" he asks.
"Um... I d-don't know ma-maybe," I tell him honestly.
"Okay, I guess that's better than a no... do they hurt you?" he asks. I quickly stiffen. Should I tell him?I don't know. Maybe I should, he's probably going to see it anyway.
"Yes," I whisper.
"Do you know why?" he asks softly.
"No," I tell him. He stays quiet after I say this and it really confuses me. "Why a-are you being ni-ce to m-me?" I ask him.
"What?" he says confused.
"I s-said why are y-ou being n-nice to me?" I repeat.
"Because you seem like a nice girl," he says, still confused.
"Bu-t nobody i-is nice to m-me," I tell him sadly.
"What do you mean nobody is nice too you?" he asks.
"I get b-bullied at sc-hool," I admit.
"Do you know why?" he questions.
"N-no, but I th-ink its bec-ause I stutter," I say.
"Do they hurt you too?" he asks and I just keep quiet "You can tell me you know," he says.
"I-I don't know, y-you don't even kn-ow my n-name," I tell him.
"Oh... Um so what is your name?" he asks.
"I'm J-Jackie," I say.
"Hmm... I like your name," he says slowly.
"T-thanks," I retort.
"So do they?" he asks.
"Yes," I squeak.
"Don't you have any friends?" he says.
"No, n-nobody likes me," I tell him.
"Oh... well I like you, so now you have a friend," he says.
"B-but why?" I ask.
"Why not?" he challenges.
"B-b..," I try to say but am interrupted by someone shouting Alec's name.
"Crap I need to go... see you later," he says and quickly runs up the stairs. Wow I have my first friend...
