"Jarrett! Guess what?!" I ran up to my only friend.

"What?!" He had the same amount of excitement. But it seemed fake.

"I'm going on tour, with my dad!" I exclaimed.

"That's great Bri." He hugged me. I looked up at his face and noticed the black eye.

"What happened?! Who the fuck did that to you?!" I yelled.

"It's fine, I just fell." He responded coolly.

"No, you don't fall and get a black eye, who punched you?! And if you don't tell me, I'll heave you another one." I joked.

"It's-I'm fine, Bri, you don't have to worry."

"I'm not letting you walk into school until you tell me." I sat on the ground and held onto his leg.

"Let go of me! Briona! You're a nut, you know that!" He yelled at me while I smirked. "Fine, it was my dad. He's been doing it for a while now." He explained to me.

"Why doesn't you mom stop him?"

"She's dead." Oh.

"I won't tell anyone. I promise. Let's go inside." I walked in with him behind me. We were still early by fifteen minutes, so I took him to the bathroom, and put foundation and concealer on his bruise.

-*~+~*-

We go through first period, and when the bell rings I run to the counciling office.

"Can I speak to someone?" The receptionist nods and points to a closed door.

"My friend is being abused. I want him taken out of the household." I say without letting him speak.

"Do we have proof?" He asks calmly. I've always had a knack for acting and so, the fake tears begin.

"H-he ha-as, has a bru-bruise, on his e-eye." I blubbered, "I just want him to be safe!"

"Please calm down Miss. I'm calling a parent." He informed me and left the office. I pulled out my phone and texted Tyler. He's been my ride lately.

Briona: Come pick me up pls.

Tyler: Why?

Briona: Patrick's gonna send you soon, why not come pick me up now?

Tyler: Why is he going to send me?

Briona: I'm crying in the office.

Tyler: Patrick just texted me. I'll be there soon.

Jarrett came in, followed by the counselor. Jarrett scowled at me, little did he know, I had a better idea for him.

-*~+~*-

"Déja vu." Tyler mumbled.

"Get in Jarrett. You're living with me, till someone better adopts you."

"Thanks." He grumbled.

I put in my earbuds and turned on my music. Patrick knew a couple people looking to adopt a teenage boy. I smirked.

Two updates in one night :)
