sundays were especially grim for me. specifically this sunday because i was away from a newly found friend. instead, i was back at my disgusting home sitting next to my sleepless brother.
justin and i didn't really enjoy hanging out in the living room with that jackass seth around, but we really did miss our mom. unfortunate how she went to shit after dad died. considering the situation, we left to hide away in justin's room.
"i refused to tell you exactly where i was last night and why i had only come home this morning," i said straight out as we entered his room. i wish i could though, he means a lot to me.
"the fuck are you two doin' in there?" yelled a raspy voice, accompanied by a few bangs on the door. i flinched knowing whatever just started wasn't going to end well.
"nothing, man!"
"y'all gotta' be up to some shit if you're actually spending time together!" yeah like he would know when the two of us hang out.
"dude, just leave us alone!" justin yelled through the door. he's trying to keep his calm, i could tell. i suppose that ticked off seth though, because the next thing i know, the doors lock has been broken and we're being pushed out of the room.
"don't you dare fucking talk to me like that, boy! i pay these bills!" seth threatened. he pinned justin up against the wall, by his neck, choking him in the process. he struggled to get any words out, so he instead motioned me to leave with his hands.
instead, i gripped onto seths arm in an attempt to pull him off but he just swung his arm back full force and i was on the floor. with a grunt i brought my hand up to find my nose bleeding.
"hey- stop! please, just get off of him!" i yelled as i got back onto my feet. justin let out a few coughs, sporting a red face, before being let go of.
"i shouldn't waste my damn time on a scum like him anyway."
ignoring his comment, i tend to justin who just told me get some stuff and go while rubbing at his neck. with those words, i went off to my room to gather some clothes and my phone and he did the same.
at that, we left and didn't know where to go. justin called bryce and jessica a few times and i tried zach and sherri but none of them answered. this left us to keep looking as we meandered down streets, side by side.
god, shits really hitting the fan right now. i wish i just did it- i wish i just fucking did it! i should've just shoved my head under that water and taken a huge fucking breath and i wouldn't have to be here right now!
but then where would justin be? we vowed to get though all this shit together. what would he do if i just opted out? what would he do when if i never showed up at school on monday- just like hannah didn't. would it ruin him?
it would and i couldn't do that to him. i'm all that he has right now.
with that we kept walking, kept calling, all until we came upon a street i walked home from not to long ago. it was alex's street. the sky was turning dark now and we really needed somewhere to go so i just went with the 'fuck it' option. i jogged up to the house and motioned justin to follow.
"mads, where are we going?"
i wiped some blood off my nose and kept walking, him close behind. tears were stinging both our eyes.
"somewhere safe justin, somewhere safe."
