  *******

      All Haies could think of was Jacksons father kissing the maid on there way out. Plus Jackson was still pretty shaken up from it, she tried her best to help cheer him up. By introducing him to every band she loved since she was a child on there way to a coffee place. She tried to tell him jokes, but he would only give that forced laugh that was hollow and sad to hear. She wanted to tell him about her father that he wasn't the only one with daddy problems .

    She knew where they was going to, a cool little café uptown. All the girls go there after school all the time. She went with them too of course, heck she ran on coffee. She remembered one time her mom toke her there and got her a pastry to eat. That's the only time she remembered, her mother not being high. She could see the colors of her eyes, a beautiful blue likes her. Her smarts was showing too, she would help her do homework for the first time. Thou of course it all went down the hole, when dad came back.

    When they pulled into the parking lot Haies didn't even notice they had parked. She was to caught up into the childhood memories.

    "Haies.. Haies", Jackson shook her.

     " Yes, yes am here", she said.

    "You ok up in there".

    "Am I ok? Are you ok?".

    " NO am not...just...forget it".

   When he yelled at her like that, she just clamped up not able to move. For, she had been yelled at to much in her life, and thought she was going to get hit. Thou it only happened for only a moment and it was gone. She was hoping to god that Jackson didn't see that panic in her eye, but from the way he looked at her she knew he saw it.

   Of course he saw it, it was plain as day. No one has ever seen her like that before, cause everbody she talk to wanted her or him to like her. They try to suck up there feelings and put on a show, but not Jackson.

   Thou lucky enough he didn't say anything. All he did was open the his door and walked over to hers and help her out of the car.

    When they got a table with there coffee and pastries,  only Haies got one. They didn't bring in there homework they both knew it was hopeless to. They was to shaken to do anything, yet only think of the project they have to do in two weeks from now.

    Haies wanted to say somethin about what just happened, but couldn't instead she said this

    "kjhajhsudh"

     "What was that", Jackson said with a smile.

    Here it is, here is my chance to tell him now or never.

    " I...um... have  family problems too, and you're not..um..alone".

    There she did it, thou she felt she need to go on.

    "My father he bets me, and got my mother hocked on drugs. He was nice at first you know...never hitting me, giving my mother the love she needed and wanted. Then he lost his dream job, to a piece of crap job. He blamed us, my mother and me for nothing.  That's when he stared to drink, but at first it wasn't ten cans a day just a can with dinner. Thou that wasn't enough, it went up to two cans every dinner then three then four and so on. Finally it became to where he would get drunk every night, and if I didn't do something right, BAM smacked. When it first happened, I screamed and he would do it over and over again till finally I wouldn't scream."

   Then Haies got real close so close it looked like they was about to kiss and she whispered.

    " I would take it every time, so when I was trying to cheer you up Jackson, I was trying to make  you happy cause I already have enough sadness in my world of hell. I don't need yours , cause we are friends and friends make each other happy not angry or depressed. They help each other out...understand".

    When she was done she sat right back down in her set, and drank her coffee. Looking out the window and not meeting his eyes. She didn't want him to she her tears.
