I met with Alexa and Bella soon and I told them everything that happened yesterday. We then talked for ages. The sun was almost down when Alexa said she had to go because she didn't want to miss the next train. Bell and I started walking until she had to go down a different street. I then showed up to Jakes house. I opened the door and Jake was in the living room doing push ups. He was wearing a long-sleeved shirt. I was so confused but he didn't notice me until I kicked him slightly
"why are you wearing a long sleeved shirt mate"
"because I can" he says sitting up
"your hiding something"
"you are too, your hiding why you ended up here"
"ok, my dad hit me, a lot"
"oh, so you dealt with it for how long"
"a long time, but after the whole killing myself deal he denied ever doing it, then we fought about it. Then he hit me again, but that wasn't why I left"
"then why did you leave"
"he- um" I didn't want to tell him why I left. I didn't want to tell him I liked him
"that's fine you don't have to tell me, want some coffee" he got up and started walking to the kitchen.
"wait wait, I told you why I left you tell me why your always wearing long sleeves" Jake sighed
"um well, it's complicated"
"I promise you I won't tell a soul, I swear on my life" Jake sighed again and walked over to me. he sat down on the couch. I sat down too, he then pulled up his sleeve, it showed dozens of scars and bruises
"holy, what happened"
"I happened" I looked at Jake and he was tearing up
"Jake why didn't you tell anyone"
"cause I worried that they would think I'm doing it for attention"
"this is bad"
"yeah but I can't bring it up because my friend will think I'm crazy"
"that's fucked" Jake was on the brink of crying and I pulled his sleeve down and hugged him. He hugged me back. We stayed there for a few minutes "do you still want that coffee" I whisper in his ear.
"yeah, I'll make it"
"no I will make it," I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a cup, I made coffee and gave it to Jake. We turned on the tv and watched some movies. Later Jake fell asleep on my shoulder, I didn't want to move. I fell asleep later.
