//Brianna's POV//
I have no clue what's happening but it gives me a nervous thrill in my stomach. After I ran out of classroom, the new kid, which I learned is Jack Johnson, came after me and told me to ditch with him. I've never ditched before, but Johnson makes it sound like it's no big deal, so I go along with it. This could go two ways. 1, We could have a lot of fun and not get in trouble, or two, we could get busted and my parents will kill me.

Johnson walks me down the hall, holding both of our books with one hand and my hand with the other one. I'm not going to lie, no boy has ever held my hand, or really talked to me unless they were telling me to die or how worthless I am, so this feeling is foreign to me, but I have to admit, I like it. I try to hide it, but a small smile takes its place on my face as I look down at me and Jack's intertwined hands. Every once in a while Jack looks back at me giving me a dimpled smile and I feel my cheeks heat up every time. We both walk in a comfortable silence, the only sound filling the empty hall is our vans squeaking and kids shouts behind the classroom doors as they joke and laugh with eachother.
"Jack?", I ask and he pushes the schools doors open to the outside parking lot. I'm surprised no one's busted us yet.
"Yeah babe", he says walking towards a midnight blue Mustang, which I assume is his car. My cheeks heat up even more when he calls me 'babe'.
"Where are we going?"
"My house", he says unlocking his car, throwing our books in the back. I don't even question him. He never let go of my hand.. He walks over to the passenger door and opens it saying,
"Your thrown awaits my queen", and I start hysterically laughing. He just smiles at me as I get in. He lets go of my hand and closes the door walking to the drivers side of the car.

The drive is silent. Its not an uncomfortable silence, it's comfortable, even though we have no clue who each other are. I lean my head against the door and Jack turns his radio on. 'Kid in love', comes on and I smile. I love this song. I start quietly singing, something I do to relive stress.
"Maybe I'm just a kid in love. Maybe I'm just a kid in love. Oh baby...",I get cut off by clapping. Shit! I forgot I'm in Jack's car. I look up to see we're stopped at a red light, then I daringly look over at Jack, getting mesmerized by his baby blue eyes.
"You're really good", he smiles.
"Don't lie Johnson, I suck", I say laughing, which causes him to instantly frown.
"Don't do that", he whispers shaking his head, looking down at his lap. I furrow my eyebrows and look at him in confusion.
"Do what?"
"Put yourself down, it makes me sad", he continually frowns.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to make you sad.", I apologize.
"It's fine just don't do that"

After Johnson told me to not put myself down the car ride was very uncomfortable. I shifted towards the window and pulled my knees up to my chest. The radio continues to play in the backround, now playing 'See you again' and I can't help but notice Jack humming to the rhythm of the song. I start humming along with him and neither of us address it. We finally pull into the driveway of a beautiful house.
"Is this your parents house oh my god it's beautiful!", I say. It's a huge two story home, with a pool, and two garages.
"Fjbbfidj", Jack whispers.
"Huh?", I ask.
"What, uh nothing let's go inside", He smiles.
---//Jack Johnson's POV//---
'Stupid, Stupid, Stupid!!!!!!!', my mind screams at me. Brianna told me my house was beautiful and I couldn't keep my big ass mouth shut so I said,
"Just like you"
Thank god she didn't hear me. Currently, I'm opening her car door for her. She gets out and as she does, well I sort of look at her butt..... I'm an 18 year old guy, what can you expect? I walk us up to my front door pulling my house keys out from my binder and unlocking the door. I open the door and let her in first walking in behind her.
"This is your house?", she asks looking around.
"Yuuppp", I say popping the 'p'.
"Do you live alone?" She asks turning around, so I accidentally bump into her. She falls backwards and I catch her pulling her into my chest.
"Sorry", she whispers looking down. I pull her chin up with my finger.
"Don't be and to answer your question, I do live alone, well me and my room mate.", I tell her. She nods and I let her go.
"Come on", I smile at her. She's so shy, it's adorable. I grab her hand and chuckle at her blushed cheeks. I walk us both to my room.
"Hey Jack?", she asks once we walk in my room.
"Yeah baby girl?"
"Why did you bring me here?"
"To take your mind off the pain", I whisper.
"Why do you care? I mean no one does."
"Would you be suprised if I told you I've been in your shoes before, well still am?", I quietly say.
"You? Yeah I would", she says sitting on my bed.
"Well be suprised then", I say sitting next to her. Me and Brianna are side by side looking forward into the wall mirror. She looks up at me, her features softening.
"What do you mean Jack?", she asks her voice cracking a little. I have no clue why, but I feel like I can trust Brianna with my life. Call me crazy, but I do. I turn my head, looking at Brianna's bruised and tear stained cheeks. I look down at my wrists, covered by my jacket and I start pulling my sleeve up. Brianna's eyes snap down to my wrists and her eyes widen.
"No", she whispers tears forming in her eyes. I lift the sleeve of my jacket up revealing my cut up wrists.
"Jack these are recent", she chokes out, grabbing my arm, laying it on her lap, and then lightly tracing each cut.
"Yeah, last week", I sigh. Brianna let's go of my arm and then grabs her sleeve. She hesitates, then looks at my wrist and pulls her sleeve up.
"Oh my god", I whisper.
