Staring up at the ceiling my mind was starting to remember what happened a few weeks ago,how innocent he was..how we shared our time together.Slowly i turn my head to the side and smile at him as we make eye contact with each other,our hands holding one another and it felt so nice to just be here with him. I could stay here forever just staring into his light blue eyes. "Aren't we suppose to head to school?" I ask..

Jack slowly gets up,grabs his glasses and places them on, "I don't feel like going today...you should go."

He stares back at me but mostly spoke to himself. his mind has been somewhere else in these couple of days. He hasn't been sleeping a lot,his place is a mess and he's hasnt been teaching classes a lot. Jack is gonna get fired if he doesnt head back soon.


"I wanna stay." I whisper.

Jack got up from his spot on the bed and started to search for something.that something was a vinyl.a familiar song came up. "Hey,i know that song.it's A Beautiful Lie by that band! 30 seconds to mars."

"Yeah it's one of my favorite songs."

"The singer of that band reminds me of someone."

I glanced over to him with a smirk on my face. He looked over to me and smiled shyly looking away. "You do have to go to school though. You don't want your parents to find out you've been missing classes." I just shrugged my shoulders and walked to where he was absently looking outside the window.


I wrapped my arms around his waist from behind and I felt him tense a bit before he slowly unwrapped my arms around him,his hands were shaking as he held my hands gently.


"L-look..i-i don't think it's safe f-for you to be here." "I-I mean i don't want you to end up like me in this dump ever since my wife left me i've been a mess."

"Y-you had a..wife?.."

"I'm sorry i never told you before."

"What happened to her?"

"She just left me without saying a single word."


I stared at him trying to read him but it's impossible. He's also a lost soul like me...we've been abandoned,lost,scared and no one has cared for us. I glanced down at the window and saw people standing by a fire,people smoking,the cops right outside not doing a damn thing. that's how things here in Gotham,are no one cares.


Jack looked back at me when we heard a phone ring. It's my phone. Looking over at it i saw it was my mom calling. It can't be does she know ive been skipping classes. "I'll be right back..im going to buy some food you want anything?"


"I'm not picky just grab whatever you want."


He gave me a small smile,grabbed his dark hoodie and walked out the door. I sat there on his bed and examined the room. The walls had a few holes,the wallpaper was peeling. I looked around back again and spotted a pocket knife. I guess it's for protection I mean this city is a dangerous place to live in.


I took a few more steps closer and saw that the knife has blood on it and it's fresh blood. Has he been cutting? I jumped up a bit when I heard gun shots right outside a few block away minutes later the door opened and Jack stared at me his eyes seemed scared. "Jack! why does that knife have blood..w-what were those gunshots for?!"


"I'm s-sorry...it helps me.Someone was murdered a few blocks away the man who killed them nearly shot me so I ran away and i'm okay."

I walked over to him and hugged him. "Please don't hurt yourself ever again."


Jack with one hand hugged me back and promised that he wouldn't. Little did i know that the blood wasn't from him..it was from someone else and that inside his pocket jeans was a gun and on his hands there was more blood from a man and woman he murdered outside.


I am so sorry again for not publishing a chapter i've been caught up on finishing watching an awesome tv show which is Mr Robot and i'm just one episode away from the season finale. Btw i'm also gonna begin watching Westworld,Z Nation and finishing iZombie...so yeah it's my own fault for not updating....Please enjoy anyway!!
