Confusion~ A Merome Story

Chapter 8: MOVING IN

Jerome-
I have abusive parents. It's bad, no one knows, not even Mitch.

I don't want to involve him, I don't want to hurt him. But, I'm in love with him, he's concerned if I'm hurt.

I would be concerned if he was hurt. The thing is, I could leave school. I will be bullied because I punched JJ.

I'll tell people he tried to cut Mitch. He could've cut his veins. Well a anywAy, today's the day Mitch gets out.

We walk out to my car. (Yes he can drive) I put Mitch in the back before I climb into the front. Mitch whines.

"What?" I ask.

"Why are you leaving me in the back?" He questions.

"Climb over." I instruct.

"Mitch, if I had a problem, I can tell you, right?" I ask.

"Of course Jerome."

"Well, my parents, abuse me." I admit.

I think he is crying because I pull up my sleeves and uncover rows and rows of cuts and bruises.

"I-I'm sorry." He said.

"Don't be, it's not your fault." I say looking into his golden eyes.

"I can't handle you going home and being hurt. And I can't do anything about it." He says.

"I live alone though." Mitch says. His grandparents always leave him money.

We stop at his.

"See ya later then?" I say.

"Stay Safe. Ok?" I say.

"Ok." I say and drive off.

TIME SKIP

I'm in my room. I've received my beating already.

<3 Mitch is Calling

What? I text.

You Ok? He replies

Nope. Got my beating. I tell him.

Pack your stuff and come live with me. Ok? He sends.

Really? I ask.

Really. I love you! See you soon.

Mitch could've just saved my life.

Thanks so much Mitch, you've just saved my life.-Bacca.
