Elliots Picture haha It's Elliot from H2O Sawg >>>>>>>

Zander POV
The bell finally rang for math to end one class down four more to go. I quickly got out of my seat and grabbed my bag, Alex following close behind me.
"Mr. Maddix can I speak to you for a minute" he said without taking his eyes away from grading home work. I heard a couple of oohs from my buds.
"Good luck man I would hate to be you right now." Alex said trying to withhold a laugh. Louis and Zach gave me a strong slaps on the back as if say,'don't fuck anything up' oh did they know me all to well. I rolled my eyes in the direction of Mr. Uriah. I walked over to his desk.

"Mr. Maddix I have a proposition for you" he said with a menacing smile. Now when teacher had a proposition for you it usually ment 'I am going to make your life as miserable as humanly possible without killing you.'
"And what makes you think I would agree to anything you have to say" I smirk in which he returns with a a humerous laugh.
"Well that's because you have no choice in that matter...if you want to fail this class that is." he says finally looking up from his papers with an arched eyebrow his glasses hanging low on his nose. Was he blackmailing me! Some 35 year old,hair receding, basement living asshole,was BLACKMAILING ME! Oh was he messing with the wrong guy.

"And as far as I know you need to pass this class in order to graduate so I suggest you make a wise choice" as much as I wanted to say something smart back he was right I did need to pass this class and I couldn't afford to heara mouthful from mi mama.
"What is it them."I said relentlessly through gritted teeth.
" I always new you were a smart boy." he spoke.
"Now I have a student you must know him now after his dramatic display."
Oh I thought, this had something to do with Jesse.
"I have been very concerned with him, I'm sure you have noticed his bruises."I nodded.
"You're his teacher why should you, or me be concered on what going on with him."

For what I know he is a small, scrawny, and likes to steal so their is no wonder he gets beat up.
"Well as a teacher it is my duty to guide and oversee my students and Jesse I think needs a little more overseeing than that I could provide." Okay that didn't sound creepy at all.
"I don't see how I come in on this?" I said confused
"Ah ha that just it i want you to befriend Mr.Winston and see whats going on in his home life." he replied. No way was I befriending that little dweeb.
"Isn't that invasion of privacy?"
"Not if you want to pass this class Mr. Maddix."
WellI guess I have no choice. I was so gonna get back at home for this.
"Fine it's a deal." I groaned. Mr Uriah held out his hand and I placed mine in his and shook on it. This was the beginning of our agreement.

Jesse POV
I woke up on the bench at the park next to the woods the sun was already starting to set. Had I really been asleep that long?
Shit.
I'm late again.
I ran as fast as I could to pick my brother up from day care. She said I couldn't be late again. But that ship has already sailed.

I arrived at the day care wheezing and panting but I had no time to search for my inhaler through my mess of a backpack.
"Mr. Winston your late again." she said with a hint of annoyance. All the other children from the day care were long gone.
"I know and I am so so sorry I lost track of time and I-"
"You know what we promised Jesse you have to pay me for the extra hours Elliot stays here. I hate to do this I really do but I have to pay the bills as well." Sympathy coated her voice. I felt a small body hug my waist.
"Jesse where were you!" He shouted.
"Sorry buddy time got away from me." I picked him up in my arms and ruffled his hair a little bit while he giggled his small cheeks going red.

"How much do I owe you Kelly"
"45 bucks." Kelly said shyly. I knew she was only doing what she had to. I reached into my pocket and pulled out the last bit of money I had. That 45 dollars was suppose to last me and Elliot the rest of the week and now it was gone and it was only Monday.

All because I was late .

I don't know what I'm gonna do.

Kelly grabs the money with both Hands and nodding a thank you and I smile in return. A fake smile. And headed out the door.

Elliot and I arrived at home at 6:45. My dad was home passed out on the coach in a dead like sleep. If only he were really dead.
"Jesse I'm hungry."
Damn I had no money I had to so something.
"Okay I 'll get us something to eat." But I didn't want to leave him alone with our worst nightmare.
"I need you to do something for me okay." Elliot nodded I bent down to his level so that we were eye to eye.
"When I leave I need you to go up to our room and lock the door and don't come out until i come back do you understand." I said sternly to him. He shook his head vigorously. I ruffles his hair and head out the door I lock the door and prayed nothing would happen to him.

I would die if anything happened to him.

Zander's POV

There he was in the store again he was wearing the samething he was yesterday and the same bruises in the same places. He walked to the back of the store and pulled out some lunch meet and bread and came up to the cash register his dark brown hair flailed everywhere and his beautiful green eyes met mine.

Did I say beautiful? I could tell he gives an internal sigh of seeing me again when he drops his items on the conveyer belt.
"I-I'm sorry about t-taking the beer and stuff" he said while hanging his head low.
"You owe me 20 bucks now pay up." I said harshly and he flinches back like it was a normal reaction for him.
"I'm s-sorry I don't have any money."he whispered.
"Then how do you expect to pay for this food? It sure as hell not free." I know I was being an asshole but I didn't want him to think I was soft...which I wast!
"Look my brother is hungry and I have no money and need it please I have nothing to eat I will pay you back later I promise." he begged his eyes becoming glossy with tears he looked so vulnerable and small almost like a child.

I felt the need to console him.
He was so...
Broken.

" Whatever you can take it." I said to him his face lit up like Christmas morning and he leaned over the counter and gave me a hug. His warm arms around my neck made my hair stand on edge tingles running down to my toes.
It felt weird
"Thank you soo much Zander" and he took the food and left. He knew my name? My heart was beating a little faster than it should.
What the hell was that?
