Jack's POV
"God, that was a terrible movie." I say, walking out of the Theatre with my friends.
"Yeah, you would expect that with a title like Batman Vs. Superman it would be way more epic." Sarah agrees.
"Well I thought it was okay. I actually thought it was pretty cool!" Ken argues, popping up beside me.
"Ken, what the h*ll is wrong with you?" Felix laughed, walking up next to Ken.
"What? I liked the movie!" Ken pouts.
"Whatever," I laugh. "I need to get home before my brother does, I don't want... I-I don't want-" I start to choke up.
"Hey, its okay, Jack. We understand what you mean, you don't have to say it." Sarah interrupts.
"O-okay. C-can we please hurry?" I stutter.
"Yeah, of course," Felix says. "Come on." He motions for us to follow.
We were walking down my street late at night, when we heard the faint sound of screamo music playing. As we got closer to my house, the music only got louder. Oh God, please no. I thought.
As we approached my driveway, I saw a black Porsche sitting crookedly in the middle of it. I stopped dead in my tracks.
"Woah, Jack, what's wrong?" Sarah asks, her voice full of concern. I feel the all too familiar sting of hot tears in my eyes.
"He... He's here." I manage to choke out.
"Who's here? Jacob?" Felix asks. I just nod my head in response. I couldn't move. I was too scared. I felt a few tears spill out of my eyes and glide down my face, tickling my cheeks. Everyone looked to my house.
"It does look like the music is coming from your house, Jack. Oh wait-- how are we going to get you inside without him noticing?" Ken asks. I look over at the car.
"W-well, judging b-by the way he p-parked, I-I think he's drunk." I stutter. I'm always stuttering. A lot. Especially recently.
"Dang, that makes it even worse," Felix says. Sarah pulls me into a tight yet comfortable hug.
"You'll be fine, Jack," she reassures. "I promise." I pull away.
"You can't promise me something like that. You don't know what he does and what he's doing." I look her straight in the eye.
She looks down.
"You're right, I'm sorry." Guilt laced her voice. I wanted to tell her not to be when Felix interrupted.
"We could try to sneak you in through the window-" he starts.
"But if you get caught-" Ken chimes in.
"Then you're dead." They say in unison.
Felix glared at Ken.
"Would you care to let me speak next time?" He says.
"Sorry." Ken says, dragging out the "s".
"Anyways," Felix rolled his eyes. "If you just straight up go through the front door then he might not notice. If he does, however, then he won't go as hard on you than he would of he caught you sneaking in."
"I'd call it our best shot." Sarah says.
"Okay then. Thanks, you guys. Maybe you should stay back 'ere in case he tries to hurt you guys as well." I say.
"No way! We're walking right up there with you, and we will stay right by your side the whole time." Sarah says confidently.
"Erm... I don't think that's a good idea..." I say.
"Sure it is. Like she said, we're right by your side the whole time." Felix says.
"Um, okay. If you really want to." I slowly turn on my heel and start trudging forward. After what seemed like ages, we reach the front door, and I turned the knob. We heard a crash from inside, and the door swung open. I stumbled, since I was still holding the door handle.
"Well, look who finally decided to come home," Jacob said, grabbing my shirt collar with a beer in his other hand. He pulled me close. I could smell the alcohol on his breath. He stared into my eyes with ones full of rage and anger. This isn't the Jacob I used to know.
"Hey! Put him down!" Sarah calls. Oh God, no! Sarah, what are you doing? I think. Jacob's cold eyes look up from mine and scan my friends.
"Oh, you brought friends," he says, dropping me to the ground.
"Please don't touch them!" I plead. He looks down at me.
"Why should I listen to you?" He kicks me in my ribs. I stumble over, seeing as I was already on the ground.
"Don't ever do that again!" Sarah takes a step forward. Jacob winds his arm back.
"Sarah!" Felix calls, and pulls her by her arm out of the way. The glass bottle hit the ground and smashed into a million pieces. Beer splattered all over the driveway. Jacob cursed under his breath and stormed back inside. I looked at Sarah.
"Oh my God, are you okay?" I stand up, but immediately fall back over. My torso is killing me.
"Am I okay? What about you?! Are you okay?!" She runs over to me. She hesitates for a moment, then reaches out and touches my ribs where he kicked me. I flip out. She immediately retracts her hand.
"Oh God, you can't stay here! Who knows what he'll do to you?" She says. Well, more like yells.
"Where else is there for me to stay?" I ask.
"You can come over my house," Felix says. "I have room."
"But all of my clothes are still inside." I say.
"You can borrow some of mine." Felix says simply.
"I don't think they'll fit." I laugh lightly, causing my ribs to slightly ache.
Ken peered inside.
"He's asleep." He says.
"I can go grab your clothes for you." Felix offers.
"Thanks but... I just don't know. What will he say to me tomorrow?"
"Nevermind tomorrow. Please? I think its for the best." Felix says. Sarah nods her head in agreement.
I sighed.
"Okay, fine. But only for one night. I'm scared to see what he'll do tomorrow. Hopefully he's on one of his depressed days." I look down.
"Come on, we'll walk you to Felix's house." Sarah says.
I look up at her.
"Thank you. Really, I mean it." I look around at all if them. Sarah smiles.
"Anytime bro." Felix ruffles my hair.
Sometimes, my friends are the best. They're always there for me, and are always fighting with me instead of against me.
But sometimes they just aren't enough...
