Alone with four pups

Ch.5

            Jacob's pov
I woke up the next morning and did the same thing I do every morning. I get dressed and check on my pups. Of course they were still sleeping as always. I went and ate breakfast before heading to school with Brandon.
"So Jacob? What are you doing after school today?" Brandon ask.
"I'm going to talk to someone. I promise them we would meet up and talk again this afternoon. Why?" I said.
"Ok. Nevermind." Brandon said.
"What is it Brandon?" I ask.
"I was going to figure out what is going on with this girl. She is friends with the girl that I was hanging with yesterday. She asked me to help figure what was going on with her friend. She thinks her friend is being abused and is trying to push everyone away." Brandon said.
I was quiet for a minute. I hate abuse. Jayla was abused by her ex boyfriend. She would never let me help her. Now maybe I have the chance to save someone else from being abused.
"Ok. I'll help you but after I keep my promise to the person I talked to yesterday." I said.
"Thanks." Brandon said.
We finally arrived at school and I got out and went to class.

         *Time skip after school*
I walking to the woods where I met Ember yesterday. She wasn't there. I waited and waited until I was about to give up and I leave. I went to walk off but someone stopped me.
"Wait!" Ember said.
I turned around and saw her. I looked at the her.
"Sorry. I took so long. I was busy. I'm glad to see you came back." Ember said.
"It's ok." I said as my phone went off.
"Are you sure?" Ember ask.
"Yes. You're fine." I said.
We started talking about alot of things. I was starting to become comfortable with her. Which is weird because we don't know each other that good? We talked until it got dark and we both had to go home. The whole time I was walking home, I was thinking about Ember. She had a bruise on her cheek. When I ask about it, she would dodge the question. Something is going on I know it.
 
   I finally made it home and I saw Brandon. He looked alittle mad.
"Where have you been? I been texting you. You promised to help me." Brandon said.
"I'm sorry. I was talking to Ember and I lost track of time. I'll make it up to you. I promise." I said.
Brandon was quiet then his eyes got big.
"No. It's ok. You can talk to her. I thought maybe you was just trying to get out of helping me." Brandon said.
"I still feel bad. I'll help you tomorrow." I said.
"No. It's fine. Just talk to Ember. I know she's having a rough time since she lost her dad and  everyone treats her bad. I know you'll help her." Brandon said.
I nodded and walked into my pups room. They were awake and giggling when they saw me. I played with them for awhile. After I finished playing with them we ate dinner and  I put them to bed.  I went to bed and fell asleep still think about Ember. Something is wrong and I know it.  I'll figure it out one way or another.
