Until I collided into you (Scott x Clay fan fiction)

Part 25- Love is an important thing

Scott's POV

I couldn't stop thinking about what happened.

I've never seen Monty stand up to his dad so confidently before. It was only when Mr de la Cruz hurt his sister when he'd care to fight back, at least that's what he told us a while ago. Monty usually spent more time trying to hide his home life away rather than sharing it with his friends. It's understandable why. There's only been twice where I've gone over to his house to hangout, once when I was eleven, another when I was fifteen.

When I was eleven, I remember going over to Monty's residence with Bryce and Justin to play pass in his front yard. Things were a little more simple back then, as Bryce was kinder to everyone, and he wasn't a rapist. Monty still had a quick temper, but he could control it more easily. Then Justin never changed, he just remained his charming self throughout all his school years. His damn smile just did it all.

(Flashback)

I remember walking up to the house with little Monty standing at the door, forbidding us to go in. Even though Bryce, Justin and I were tired from walking so far to his house. Bryce pleaded him for water and was getting frustrated. So, Monty did give in, telling us we could only be inside for a little since his dad was asleep, and to be quiet.

We all were only kids. We didn't know any better than to run around like idiots, play hide and seek, and whatever else kids do. So once I saw an apple sitting on the kitchen table, my first thought was to grab it and start passing it around. Younger Justin gave me a grin while motioning to me. We began to pass it back and fourth across the room while Monty got Bryce water.

We did it for about 30 seconds until Bryce joined us, so did Monty. But he told us all to try and be quiet if we could. Giggling had completely filled the house and we had all forgotten about Monty's dad who was asleep. As Justin went to throw the apple to Monty, it hit him in the stomach and everyone laughed. "Guys shhhh be more quiet" Monty mouthed trying to contain his laughter, nearly failing. He then leaned down to pick up the apple off the floor.

That's when mine and Justin's laughter was quickly wiped away from us and we became more serious, as we saw a large man towering over little Monty. Bryce kept giggling as Monty didn't know yet and muttered "oh hello Mr de la Cruz, we're sorry if we woke you up". Monty shot his head up as he heard his fathers name, and by the look in his eyes it seemed as if his body had run cold. Monty's dad shot Bryce a cold stare before turning back to Monty.

"Stand up" he demanded.

Monty grabbed the apple and stood up, not daring to look his father in the eye. Mr de la Cruz then kneeled down to his eye level. "I thought I told you not to wake me up with your silly little games boy" he whispered to his son.

"Dad, I'm sorry, we tried to be quiet I promise" he whispered back.

Bryce, Justin and I now felt awkward as they were whispering but we could still hear every word that fell out of their mouths. All that we could do was sit in silence and listen.

"And this apple?" Mr de la Cruz snatched the apple from Monty's hand and brought it to his face "you could have broken something throwing this around you little shit" he said enraged That's when little me stepped forward.

"Mr de la Cruz, we were going to go play in the yard but we got distracted. We are sorry we woke you, but please let Monty come play with us outside" I pleaded. His dad just stared at me with a frustrated look on his face, then looked at the rest of the gang. All of us returned the gaze back with pleading eyes.

He ended up shoeing us away out the door, keeping little Montgomery inside. Bryce, Justin and I looked at each other with worry as we could hear painful yelling coming from inside the small one story house. All of us not understanding a thing at the time, we were quite freaked out, so we booked it from Monty's house out of fear.
