AN: Another high school story.

~Clint~

I slammed my locker closed after the long day i've had and pressed my forhead against it. Nat grabbed my shoulder and turned me around "Hey dumbass, ready to go?". I rolled my eyes "Yeah". She smiled and grabbed my hand. Nat had been covering for me for years. She pretended to be my girlfriend to keep the other girls away from me. I wasn't into them, but they would not leave me alone. I didn't know who I was into, but I knew it wasn't anyone in the school. Other girls are terrified of Nat, and I don't blame them. She's a little bit crazy. I had a reputation as well. I got into a lot of arguments and fights. Many of the new kids tested me, but I shut it down quickly. She walked with me until we got into her car. "Eventually you're going to have to explain that we weren't dating. Wanda keeps getting jealous of you and people keep threatening to tell you i'm cheating on you with a girl" I laughed a little. "Don't you enjoy the attention though?" she rolled her eyes "Shut up". I smiled to myself and she started driving.

She pulled up to my run down house "I don't know why you don't just stay at mine. We have the room". I nod "I know Nat. You tell me every day. See you tomorrow". She nodded and I closed her car door before going inside. I slowly and quietly made my way up the stairs. A hand covered my mouth and pulled me into a room. I struggled until a familiar voice spoke in my ear. "Calm down shit face" I elbowed Barney and he let go. "Come on little bro. Didn't think you'd be that mad" I scoffed "Really? You disappeared for 3 weeks". He nods and covered my mouth as our father was moving around downstairs. "Shut up. He's going to hear you. Come on" he pulled me along behind him and we went out the window. I followed him down the roof before we both jumped down. I pushed his hand off from around my shoulders and started walking. He ran after me "Come on bud. At least hear me out". I scoffed and shook my head before walking faster. He caught up to me "Please?". I stopped and rolled my eyes "Alright, fine". He nodded and walked with me "The day before I left, you were out of the house. Dad was pissed. He took it out on me and almost killed me. I had to wait for him to get drunk enough for me to get out. I got a job and finally got a two room apartment. One room for me and another for you".

I knew where it was going. I knew he was going to say it. There was a reason I didn't leave the house I was in. I still remembered how my dad used to be. Barney remembered, but didn't believe he was still in there. I knew he was. I couldn't leave him here by himself. He would die on his own. "He's not going to let me leave" he nods "I know. I'm working to get custudy of you right now". I nodded, knowing that my time was running out. He continued asking about everything that had been going on recently. I answered vaguely and mostly kept my life under wraps. I was close with him before he left, but he left and didn't tell me anything. I was angry, so I kept out a lot of details. We eventually circled back to the house "You gonna tell dad you're back?". He shakes his head "He didn't even know I was gone". I nod and he stops with me "I'm not gonna be able to see you much bud. I have to get things in order to be able to get custudy". I nod and he smiles "I'll see you soon". He wrapped his arms around me "See you later Barney". He nodded before leaving. 

I watched him walk away before going into the house. I was met with my father 2 inches away from me. I jumped and he shoved me, making my back hit the doorknob. I winced and he scoffed "Pathetic". I huffed "Asshole" I muttered under my breath, but he heard me. I was met with a hard punch, but knew better than to fight back. It would lead to something a lot worse than this. I held my lip and waited until I heard his door slam upstairs before I left the house. I had an overnight bag with me as I mounted my motorcycle. I drove to the cliff I liked to sit at and smoke. I sat with my legs dangling off the edge and took a long puff of the cigarette. Of course my time to myself got distroyed by the one person I hated more than anyone. "That's not good for you" I rolled my eyes at the blue eyed blonde that decided to sit beside me. "I don't care. Leave me alone" he was a senior and I was a junior. He was also 18 while I was 17. I didn't care though. I huffed in annoyance as he stayed sitting beside me. "What do you want?" he shrugged and looked over the side of the cliff.
