Later when we woke up it was about 10. Yn was already up with Reese they were watching a show.
"Morning jack" she said as she gave me a warm smile
"Mornin yn" I said then went by Reese "good morning to you to mr" I said as I tickled reese and he giggled a bit
"I made you some bacon and eggs" yn said
"Thanks yn" I said as I went into the kitchen and grabbed the food
"Anytime" she said

I sat down and began to eat. I pulled out my phone my dad had texted me over 20 times he was saying "jack come home" then "GET YOUR ASS HOME" "JACKSON COME HOME!!" There was more and more, when I finished I knew I had to go but if I stayed here I would be in more shit when I go home.
"Hey yn I'm going to go home I'll text you if I need you okay?" I said as I got up
"Wait why?" She said looking concerned
"My dad needs some help with the yard" I said
"Okay but if you need anything you text me understand?!" She said in a concerned tone
"Got it" I said as I threw on a hoodie then began to jog home
I open the door slowly then quietly walk in.

"D-dad?" I say as I go into the living room to see my dad sitting on the couch
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!" He screams
"I-i-i was at a friends house" I say
"OH REALLY?!" He yells he starts to get up
"Y-yes" I said my dads close to my face
"WHICH ONE!!" He yells he's so close to my face that I could feel his hot breath on my face
"B-Bryce" I say
"OKAY YOUR GOOD FOR NOW!!" He goes back to the living room and sits on the couch "MAKE YOURSELF USEFUL AND GET ME A BEER!!"
I walk slowly to the fridge then bring the beer to him
"WHY ARE YOU SO FUCKING SLOW?!" He yells as he beings to take off his belt. My hand is sticking out holding the beer.
"YOU FUCKING SLOW POKE!!" He yells then hits my hand so hard the beer falls out and smashes on the floor
"GREAT CLEAN UP THIS MESS NOW!!" He yells but I'm stunned to speak all I could do is look at my hand he hit it so hard it was bleeding
"DIDNT YOU HEAR ME?! CLEAN UP THIS MESS!!" He slapped me across the face
I held my face with my bloody hand and began stuttered
"Y-y-y-y yes father" I say as I run into the the kitchen but decide to run out the door I hear my dad scream "GET BACK HERE BOY!!"
But all I do is run and I don't look back. I run to yns house I knock and knock on her door until she opens it

"What is it Jac-" she stops and looks at my bloody hand and face "get in" She says in a comforting voice
I walk in her house and she brings me into the bathroom as she cleans my hand up she asks "jack what happened?"
"nothin just was running and t-tripped" I said I knew it was a horrible lie but it's the only thing i could think of
"Your lying it was your dad wasn't it?" She says
"Yeah...with a belt...then he smacked me b-but the blood on my face is from my hand" I say holding back tears
"Hey hey hey it's okay" yn said as she gave me a hug and I couldn't stop crying. I never felt a lot of comfort in my own family.
I always felt like I roamed around from a friends house to a friends house but when I'm at yns I feel like this is my home...the one I was meant to have.
As yn finished cleaning up my hand and wiped off the blood from my face she suggested going by reese and I did

"Hey buddy!!" I say as I pick him up and he giggles
"HEY YN IS IT OKAY IF I TAKE REESE OUT?" I yell out to yn
"Umm" I hear the hesitation in her voice "yeah sure but take my car...and you have your license right?" She asks
"Yeah and don't worry I'm only taking him to target I wanna get him something" I say as I'm holding reese
"Okay but please be back in 30" she says
"Got it" I say and I head to the car, i buckle in Reese then begin to drive to target when we get there I take Reese out then start walking to the toys
As we're walking down some of the isles I enter the "sporty" one
"Let's go down here bud" I say then that's when I saw it a little basketball hoop with a ball
"You wanna get into basketball?" I say as I pick up the box
"You know I don't think your kid talks yet" I hear a voice say
"Oh um he's not my kid" I say as I turned around to see a brunette haired girl
"Oh my bad sorry but you know he doesn't talk yet right?" The girl says
"Yeah I know" I say there was an awkward moment of silence between me and her
"Um jack...Jackson dean" I say as I give out my free hand for her to shake
"Paige...Paige Taylor" she says as she shakes my hand
"Well nice to meet you Paige but I gotta go you see his mo-" she cut me off
"It's fine jackson" She says as she began to walk off
"Wait!! Paige could I get your number?" I asked
"Yeah just give me your phone" she said
"Y-yeah okay um here" I say handing it to her
"Done I'll text you hey it Paige" she says as she walks off
"Okay bye" I say as I put my phone in my pocket then grab the toy
"Did you see that man!! We got her number" I say in a singy songy voice

I paid for the toy then went back to yns house.

"Jack?" She said
"Yeah it's me" I say as I walked into the living room and put Reese next to yn
"What did you get him?" She asks
"I got him du nu nu nu!!! A basketball hoop!!" I say
"Jack he can't even walk yet" she said
"Still we could just teach him young" I say
"Okay" she says

I take out the pieces and build the little basketball hoop then grab the ball.
"Give me Reese" I say
Yn gives him to me I put the little ball in Reese's hand a help him shoot it. After a couple tries Reese was already making it in
"NO WAY!! HES A NATURAL!!" Yn says
"I knew it"

And as that's how the rest of the afternoon went me holding Reese as he threw the ball into the hoop
A couple days later Reese had took his first steps and if I'm being honest I was happy that I was there to see it
