Vance did spend the night. They watched a movie together in bed. "Vance can I ask a question?" "you just did" Bruce ignored him "uhm.. how many times has your dad done that to you?" oh. "uhm.. just the time he did today." "Vance, don't lie to me." Vance didn't like telling people anything about him. Especially when it was something like this. "uhm. over 14 times. this year.. it's the same every year. Since I was 6." "omg.. what I wrong with him?" "don't worry about me.. I'm used to it. Yesterday was the least hurt I got from it." "with that many bruises?!" "mhm.. my mom doesn't know about it. if I tell her my ,dad says he'll take me and my sister away from her." "I'm so so sorry Vance." "it's.. fine. Your the first person I told other than that ratty therapist. first session and they already said things to people." they continued the movie.
Vance's pov: I woke up before Bruce. crap. Bruce's leg was on top of Vance's with his head leaning on his shoulder. he didn't think they would stay like that all night. he tried getting out without waking up Bruce. He still woke up, though. "good.. morning" "morning Bruce." they went downstairs to eat breakfast. Bruce's mom was home from work, she worked at night. Along with his dad. That's why Vance never met them. "oh hello, who's this Bruce?" "Vance? Ooh the one your always talking abouttt?" "shut up. uhm.. Vance. Not in that- way." "I know." "just.. making sure." his mom smiled. "so how old are you Vance?" "I'm a year older. I'm 17." "Amy told me you guys were playing together the other night. thank you, she seemed really happy." Vance smiled. He kinda liked hearing that. even though he was 9 years older than the girl. "we're gonna head to school now. Bye mom." "bye have fun!"
lily (Vance's older sister pov)
(btw Lily is 18)
she was at school and found Vance. "hey Vance." "Hi. Uhm, this is Bruce. My friend." "Hi! I'm Lily. I'm Vance's sister." Bruce smiled back at lily. "Hi! Vance never mentioned he had a sister." "He doesn't tell a lot of people much. I wouldn't surprised." "can I asked something that made make you both a little uncomfortable?" Bruce asked "uhm, sure." "uhm.. did your dad. Ever do that to you?" I took a while to respond. I don't think I should tell him. But obviously if Vance had told him in the first place, he could be trusted. So I did. "uhm, yes." Bruce apologized to both of them once again. He just felt like it was so unfair that they had to go through that and couldn't even tell anyone. especially when Bruce knew he wouldn't have to go through that. So he would never know how Vance felt.
Bruce's pov: it was a Friday. Vance and Bruce finished there project. Vance was going over to Bruce's this weekend. Bruce got to school and saw Vance freaking out. "Vance what's wrong?!" "my sister failed her exam and if my dad finds out when she gets home who's knows what'll happen and I can't see her like this not aga- Bruce cut him off "Vance calm down, you know the spare bedroom in my house you normally sleep in?" "mhm..?" "she can come when you come over and sleep there. You'll just sleep with me." Vance had been grateful for Bruce. Everything he had done for him. wait did I get that last part? Sleeping with Bruce?! last time they did that they got REALLY close to each other. but if it would help his sister, he would do it. "thank you so so so much Bruce. for everything you've done for me in general." Vance hugged Bruce. "it's okay Vance." they got to Vance's house. Lily was shocked when she saw the house, it was so nice compared to theres. then she saw Amy. "YOU HAVE A SISTER?!?" "yes." "I LOVE TINY CHILDREN OMG" Lily looked so excited "Lily calm down she's 8. "Bruce who's this girl? Is she coming to play with me?!" "no she's just staying here this weeke- "YES I AM HERE TO PLAY WITH YOU LETS GO" They ran up to Amy's room.
it was getting really late. "oh crap. Amy really has to go to bed. Can you come with me?" "yeah sure." "Amy time for be- they saw Lily and Amy in sleeping. It made Bruce smile. lots of kids didn't wanna be friends with Amy for whatever reason. so seeing someone 10 YEARS older than her wanting to hang out with her made him happy for some weird reason. "okay ig she's already sleeping," "my sister looks like a rat when she's sleeping." Vance said out of no where "Vance!" "What?! It's true!" "she looks better than you at least!" "what are you talking about I'm hot when I'm sleeping!" "keep thinking that." "BRUCE!" Bruce ran back to his room and Vance tackled him to the bed. "VANCE" Bruce tortured him by tickling him everywhere. Bruce hated being tickled. Vance continued sitting there like a weirdo and tickling him. "VAnce STop!" "VAN- "okay okay I'm done!" Vance chuckled. he started liking being Bruce's friend, maybe even a best friend. "you suck, you rat."
In the morning Vance's pov: he woke up to the doorbell, so did Bruce. "who's that?" "shit. shit shit shi- "Vance who is it?!" "my dad!" "don't worry. I'll answer the door you and Lily go in my closet." "thank you." him and Lily went in the closet whilst Bruce answered the door "hello? do I know you?" "are you friends with Vance's friend?" "uhm.. yes. Why?" "Is be here right now?" "no, I haven't seen him since school yesterday. Sorry." "can I go see then?" "no?" his dad walked inside anyway "hey! Get out of my house!" "no." "I will call the cops if you don't leave now!" "WATCH IT KID." bro does this guy bring a belt everywhere or something? I'm not scared of this ratatouille he can't take me if I tell my parents nuh uh. "sir. get. out." he took off his belt "BRO YOU GONNA HIT ME WITH THAT?!" "if you don't shut up, yes." "dangg. I'm not scared of you I have parents to tell." Vance's mind *bro what is he doing he sounds stupid lmao* "where's your room." Bruce wasn't gonna tell the truth ofc "downstairs on the right." "upstairs it is then." "are you stupid I said it was downstairs?" Luckily Vance had locked the door so he couldn't get in Bruce's ACTUAL room "why is this door locked huh?" "idk it was locked when we moved in." "one more room that they'd be in then. "no get out of there!" "brucey who's this?" "uhm, just. Dads friend." he didn't want his sister to be scared. "kid, was there a boy here named Vance along with a girl named Lily?" Bruce looked scared. he knew she wouldn't know to lie. "uhm, no sir. It's just me and my brother." oh never mind then. "I'm leaving now." "thank you omg- "excuse me?" "sorry I don't like have a random 50 year old man in my house" "I don't look that old!" he left
Vance's pov: "really Bruce? not you acting stupid in a SERIOUS situation." "nah I did great." "Bruce he would have found us if we didn't lock the door dumbass" "right. Oh well! He's gone now. and Amy pretty smarttt" "that isn't dads friend right?" Amy asked "nope. Good job. And DO NOT tell the parents there was a creepy old man in the house." "Lily you good?" she hadn't said anything. she just looked scared. "Lily?" "what if he did hurt Bruce, Vance." "he wouldn't have hurt him Lily it's fine!" "no it's not. none of this is okay the fact that I had to stay at my brothers friend house cause of this is NOT OKAY!!" "Lily I'm fine, if he did hurt me I'd call the cops." Bruce had said "she left and went downstairs to the spare bedroom. "I'm gonna go see her" Amy had said. "Amy, she needs to be alo- Amy had already gone downstairs "Lily?" "hi Amy." "are you okay?" "I'm fine.." "are you sure?" "yes.."
