Laurens, Do Not Throw Away Your Shot

6~99+

(John's POV)

I approached the old apartment I lived in as a child. So many memories flooded my mind. I didn't want to be here, this is the last place I'd want to be right now. I would much rather be home curling up with Alex and Philip, watching a Disney movie but no— that's not how life is treating me...

I took a deep breath and knocked on the door of the worn down building, shortly after doing so a large man with a stained shirt and boxer shorts on swung open the door.

"Henry..." I scowled

"Jack, welcome back, make yourself comfortable" He slurred, he was drunk but not as drunk as he usually was which was a good sign... I guess.

I left my suitcase by the door in case I had to make a run for it.

"When is my first appointment?" I asked

"Eager are ya?" Henry chuckled

I rolled my eyes "Sure, so when is it?"

"9:30 a.m tomorrow morning" he said

I nodded and went upstairs to what used to be where my bedroom was. It was horrific. I cleaned off the mattress and pulled out my phone. There was no Wi-Fi here so I decided to check my text messages.
