Chapter 21

                              Jj Maybank POV

I lied.

I lied to Ellie, I said I was sleeping at John b, and here I am, walking to my house. I know my dad is home, even with what he does to me, he's still my dad.

I open the door, walking in the damaged house. My dad was sitting on the couch, a beer in his hand, coke on the table in front of him.

The same blue eyes I have look up at me, once he sees me, the man I call my father stands up, walking towards me dangerously slowly.

The tall man points at me, "what are you doing here, son" before I can even answer, his fist meet my perfectly defined jaw.

My mouth leave a groan of pain, he hits me over and over, making me fall into the floor. He crawls on top of me, his hands reach my throat, he press against it, cutting my breath.

I couldn't breathe, tears reach my eyes, bruise slowly forming into my face and body. I somehow manage to get him off of me, and I run.

Away from my house, from my dad, from everything. I run toward Ellie house, once I'm in front of the window.

I can see through the glass Ellie and Kiara, sleeping. I shake my head, and go down the window.

I didn't want to derange her, making her worry about me and having to take care of me so I walk toward John b house.

Once I'm in the house, I lay down on his couch, knowing his dad is somewhere else for his search and that John b won't mind.

I fall asleep, my bruise still not clean, the cut on my lip still looking awful. The morning I wake up, receiving a good morning message from my girl, saying Kiara had to leave and that she didn't walk outside in the dark alone.

Every time I was away from Ellie I made sure she was safe. Which I answer her text with a quick "good girl" smiling to my self.

I get up from the couch, my best friend was still asleep in his room, not aware of my presence in his house.

I sneak out and walk toward Ellie's house. Once I arrive in front of it, I sneak in her room by her window. She smiles at me walking towards me, "hey princess" she giggles, but once she's close to me her giggles fade and her smile drop.

"What happens? Did John b do that? Did he founds out about us?" I shake my head, a small smile tugging at the corner of my mouth with the sadness slowly leaving my chest at her presence.

She wraps her arms around my neck, hugging me tightly. "No he didn't do that" her arms slowly drop from my neck, she stares into my eyes with realization.

"JJ-" I cut her off, "it's nothing, I'm used to to it, it's not like he never did this" anger, sadness, cover her beautiful face, a tear roll down her face.

My large hand reach her face, wiping the tear away with my thumb. "Don't cry over me, never cry over me" she shakes her head, multiple tears running down her face which I wipe away.

"I'm going to kill this asshole!" She exclaimed, anger replace her usual sweet voice. I didn't think she was serious, until she walk fast toward her closet, her footsteps hitting the floor with how angry she was.

She grabs a sweater, kiss my cheek roughly before walking out her house before I can even react. I try and walk towards her, but she runs so fast I can't even reach her.

I throw my arms in the air as I see her silhouette running away from me toward my house.

Toward my dad, I was a strong men and he could beat me up so easily, I couldn't imagine what he would do to a little sweet kind girl like Ellie.
