My Professor and Me - Scarlett Johansson

Secrets are Told

Y/N POV: 

I'm worried about what Jay is about to tell me. And I'm wondering why he wants Scarlett there. I take a look at her, and I can't read her face. She looks worried but also angry. 

Y/N: Bubba, go sit in the other room, Scarlett and I will be right in. 

Jay runs to the other room, and I put my bags down on the counter. 

Y/N: Scarlett, what's wrong? 

Scarlett: You need to let Jay tell you. 

Y/N: Why is he asking us both there? 

Scarlett: He told me about some things in the car and I advised him that he should tell you. He asked if I could be in the room with him too. I couldn't say no to him. 

I swear the more I hear the more worried I get. What could he possibly have to tell me? Scarlett and I walk into the room and take a seat with Jay. 

Y/N: Okay bubba, what's going on, you can talk to me. 

Jay: I know mommy, I'm just scared. I don't want you to be mad at me. 

Y/N: I don't want you to be scared about talking to me. Why don't you tell me, and we can go from there okay?

Jay: Well, I don't want you to be mad at me like dad is. He said if I told you, you would be mad at me and wouldn't love me anymore. I told miss Scarlett and she said it's important to tell you. 

Y/N: Jay, I will always love you. I have loved you since the day you were born, that will never change. 

Jay: Well, I don't like going to dads. He is never there. He ignores me all the time and just leaves me in my room. He says I'm not allowed to leave my room at all. He also said that I was a mistake. He left with some friends on Wednesday and didn't come back till Friday morning. Mommy I was alone, and I didn't know what to do. He said if I told you, you would agree with him and send me away. I didn't want you to be mad. Please don't be mad. I'm sorry mommy, I'm really sorry. I told him I wouldn't say anything, now he's going to be really and hit me again. Mommy don't tell him I told you. 

The anger in me was boiling. But all I cared about was my little boy crying in front of me. Asking me for forgiveness. I broke down crying and reached out to him. Judging by Scarletts tears, he didn't tell her the whole story. 

Y/N: Jay, come her bubba. Mommy is always going to love you. I am not mad at you at all. I will never send you away. I am so sorry you were alone for two days. He should have been there for you. If you don't want to see him, you don't have to. But I do need to ask some questions. 

Jay: Okay. 

Y/N: How did you eat while he was away? 

Jay: I made a peanut butter sandwich. And then I ate some chips. 

Y/N: Where did he hit you?

Jay: He grabs my wrist and hits my head or stomach or back. Sometimes he kicks my legs. 

Y/N: Jay, I need to see if you have any marks or bruises on your body. If you don't want Scarlett, here she can leave. 

Jay: No, she can stay. 

I take a look at Scarlett to see if she is comfortable, she just nods her head and I know to continue. I take a deep breath and list his sleeve. He had bruising over his wrists, stomach, back, and some on his shins. I know that I'll need this evidence for court, so I start taking pictures for a lawyer. 

Jay: Mommy, are we done? I want to go color with Rose and talk to Lizzie. 

Y/N: Of course, go ahead.
