Jasper was a soft spoken boy, he was very quiet and timid. If you saw his outfit alone, you would think of him as a Teddy bear. As he woke up in the morning and got ready for work. Issues up one shirt and slipped a sweater on top of it, this was his morning routine. Every morning he ruffled up his shoulder length hair, putting on the tiniest bit of makeup before petting his big German Shepherd good bye and walking out the door. He walked to work, wanting to enjoy the day before he was stuck cooped up in a cafe. " what a lovely day, I wonder what customers I will meet today. " Jaspers spoke as she got to his job. He clocked in early like always waving his other coworkers hello as he got ready to start his shift." hello Jami it's lovely today. " Jamie was one of Jasper's coworkers who usually kept them self. And so Jami gave Jasper a dismissive wave hello, and went back to work. Jasper smiled, this was their normal routine, as the day went on, many people rushed into the doors, get their coffee, which ask for, didn't tell anyone is that he loved to listen in the conversation, to figure out how to make their day a little better. This woman came in who was swamped with paper work and just made the coffee hearing her on the phone she had forgotten to eat, and so he gave her a grilled cheese on the house to brighten her day and give her one less thing to worry about just for love to do this, he would do this everyday like a little routine, some people called him a God send all he said was that he's just being helpful today was like no other, he was doing, like he always did, then someone came in, he didn't recognize they had never been to the cafe before he was tall, compared to Jasper, who is 5 foot tall. This man had to be around 6 feet the man was wearing a business suit. Check was short on the sides, but long on top, he had a tattoo peeking out from his collar.
" hello, I'm Jasper, welcome to the cafe, what can I get started for you today, sir." Jasper said looking up at the man, the man left a soft sigh before speaking." my name is Julius, I just need a simple large black coffee and a croissant, can you handle that for me, darling? " Jasper blushed, Julius's voice was deeper than he expected, just realize he need to be professional and quickly shook his head and smile looking up at the man." I can get that started for you right now, sir, and don't worry about paying sir, I got this one." he smiled before making julius says coffee getting his food ready and then personally handing it to him.
" thank you, Jasper., if I can get you anything in return, let me know. " Julius handed Jasper a piece of paper, his phone number scribbled down on it. He then winked as Julius got up, grabbing his food and drink, and leaving Jasper was starstruck, he never thought anyone would give him his number, let alone a tall, handsome man like Julius, he kept that in mind, putting the number in his pocket and getting through with the rest of his shift had become pitch black by the time he left, he. was exhausted. And the last person who was happy, he said, he would lock up and clean for the night. Decided to walk home the longer way this time, perhaps a walk is what he needed to give himself with more energy, so when he got home, he could get some work done that he needed to do as he walked, he cut away into an alley, which probably, looking back now, wasn't the smartest thing to do as he walked here to whistle, he turned to see a man standing there with what looked like a bat in his hand. Jasper got nervous, he was never confrontational, nor did he really know how to stand up for himself. He turns to me, keeping him in eye sight "m-may I help you? " Jasper said staring the man down as he got closer to Jasper close door, he could now see the man's face, it was one of his regulars in the cafe, one of the regulars that always gave him a hard time by hitting on him and make him uncomfortable. He slowly started to move away. Jasper thought if he didn't make it finally could slip away and make a run for his house, but this didn't work the man swung the bat hard, knocking Jasper in the head, causing him to fall to his knees. He put his hand on his head, moving it away, there was blood his blood and made him tear up in pain. The man just looked at him then smirks and evil grimacing smirk that would be burned in a Jasper's head for the rest of his life." nowhere to run now cutie time to get what I'm owed." the man spoke grabbing Jasper by the hair, Jasper didn't know what to do, so he let out a hellish scream. Yelling for help, pleading for somebody to hear him anybody, and luckily for him, his screams were answered.

" what was that you boys Wait here, I'm gonna check that out." spoke, Julius, as he was just about to get into his car, he stopped when he heard the screen, he grabbed his gun and made a quick pace where he heard the hellish scream seeing Jasper bloody and beaten and a man holding him. He got pissed and aimed the gun to the man's head." if you want to live, I suggest you hand me the boy and you walk away, or I make it disappear from the face of the earth." Julius spoke his deep blue eyes and brown skin shining in the moonlight. The man realized that Julius wasn't playing around and dropped Jasper before running away, realizing his life was more important than Jasper. All Jasper could do was lay there in pain as Julius picked him up in one foul swoop and started to walk to his car. " I've got you, don't worry, I'm going to take you back to my home and I'll patch you up, you can rest there. " Julius spoke before walking to his car and placing him inside ever so gently before sitting in the car himself, letting Jasper put his head in Julius's lap as the driver drove them, the Julius is home. At this point, Jasper at falling asleep, he would stay that way until morning light.
