Just Friends

When I Was Young

"When I was a kid I wasnt treated well by my brother, and some of his friends.....um...one day..he came home drunk A-"

"Your brother is of drinking age?"

I nodded "He is older now. This was when he was around 23."

"Please continue"

"Uhm...he came into my room with one of his friends. They pinned me down and stripped me, then they tied me up and gagged me. Then they took turns sticking things inside me and raping me. Everytime I made a sound to signify that I was in pain, they hit me." I said. I was sitting in a court testifying against my older brother, who was facing 20 to life in jail, for multiple Rape and molestation charges.

"My mom filled charges after they found out a few years ago. We even moved away, but my father stayed statting the only reason it happened was because I some how turned him on, my father said i deserved it." I finished looking over at my brother then looking down scared of him seeing me.

"You lying little SHIT!" my Brother yelled. The court room broke out in cops trying to restrain my brother and keep me safe. People inside the court room were yelling and conversing amoungst themselves. In the end my brother was found guilty of all charges, and i was on a plane back to South Korea. Still scared from what happened in the court room, and having to talk about the worst day in my life.

When i got out of the airport my bestfriend, and secret crush was standing there by a pole on the phone and eating a lollipop. His black hair was messy like he just woke up. He was in all black from head to toe, and his jawline could cut glass.

"Jackson!" I called running to him with my stuff. If you were to picture an anime where the background is all one color, there were flowers, those little sparkly things around me, that cutesy music was playing and i looked like a chibi charater running with my arms out and bags with me, Thats what this moment would seem like.

"Bambam" he said hugging me. "How was your trip?" He asked patting my head making me blush. I told him i was going to visit family. I didnt want him to know that I was raped when I was younger, Or that i was testifying aginst my brother. It was too embarrassing. Plus, Jackson is a firm believer of 'having your brothers back.' He was raised by only his brothers after an accident that happened in hongkong after his final fencing tournament.

"Uhm...good" I said kinda looking down.

"You lie" he said hooking his arm around me and walking with me to his car.

"Haha...you got me" i answered kinda uncomfortably. "My family talked a lot about things that happened in the past.... It was just uncomfortable you know."

"Yeah. The past is the devil and all it does is try to make you its bitch." He joked. But he did know what i meant neither one of us liked to talk about our past, it was too painful.

(Jackson Pov)

A week ago my best friend went back to Thailand to vist family. I was left with my brothers again, its not bad....but not great. When I Was young. I fenced a lot, and My last tournament was the worst day of my life. One of My brothes was arrested my parent's were dead. I was taken back by the entire scene. Just thinking of it messed with me. I was raised by my two other brothers. We had minimal guidness. What we did have was drugs, alcohol, american trap music and a neighbor gang in the slums of Hong Kong. Then shit went down in the gang and we had to move to the broke ass hidden projects in Seoul. Do you get the picture? Home life SUCKED!seeing bambam againg was the best moments of my life.

"So we going to hang at your moms crib or mine" i asked as we walked to my car.

"Yours is fine since you and authority dont go well together." Bambam joked, causing me to make a face. It was a smirk frown. A smrown....yeah a smrown.

"Fuck you mean. I love your mom. The only authority I like. Mom authority." I smrowned at him as we neared my car and got in.

"Then My house?" Bambam looked at he and smiled like he was a 10 yr girl. "I mean my mom hasnt seen you in a while and i know how much she likes you and thinks of you as her own. So i just thought youd want to say hi." He added realizing he got too excited. And leaning agint the door. His word we're kinda offensive. But Im a kinda offensive person so i didn't  really care. But deep down I long for that kind of love again. The love only a mother and father could give. Bambam knew half. But i barely remeber the small bit i had.

"Your house it is.~" i wang starting my car and making way to Bambams house. I was excited to see his mom. And i was excited to feel that motherly love.
