We heard sirens. Police sirens. Then we heard a door open. Jeff went to his bedroom door and told to me and Liu "You two stay here. I'm going to go check it out." And with that he left the bedroom. Me and Liu were in his bedroom alone until he decided to go to his bedroom. "Don't worry Amber. I'm just going to my room to get something." I nodded and he left. I was then in the bedroom alone.

I heard commotion downstairs and I got a little worried. Then I heard someone walk down the stairs. I got worried and, me being curious, I opened the door and peeked my head out. It was Liu walking downstairs. Once he got down, I walked out of the bedroom and peeked at the bottom of the stairs, and looked at the front door. Jeff was trying to convince the police officers that he beat up the three kids, but Liu was the one who was going to be arrested. I looked at him and he had all of these scars, scratches, and bruises along his arm, while he was holding a knife, 'proving' that he beat up the kids.

He was taken into the backseat of the police car to be taken to juvie. The car then drove off leaving Jeff crying. I couldn't help but start to tear up also. His dad pulled into the drive way a couple minutes after. He noticed Jeff's face and knew something was wrong. "Son, what is it?" His father asked concerned. Jeff couldn't answer. I started to walk downstairs crying. "I'm sorry but-" I cut off Jeff's mother with the reply of "I saw everything. I'm so sorry Jeff." I looked towards Jeff with tears blurring mine and his vision. Then his mother walked his father inside to break the bad news to him. I walked towards Jeff and hugged him to comfort him. We wept driveway for about an hour, we walked back inside. Jeff seeing his parents shocked, sad, and disappointed, we kept walking and not looking at his parents.

Once we were up to his room, I grabbed my bag and told him "I guess I should leave. I don't want-" I was cut off by Jeff walking towards me and hugging me saying "No. It's fine if you stay. And I want you to stay. I want to be comforted. I want someone who can comfort me without the arms of parents. So can you please stay?" I looked up at him and nodded, smiling a comforting, yet sad, smile. He then pulled away and I put my bag back in the corner and I got out a dog whistle. "What's that for?" Jeff asked me with a hoarse voice from crying. "It's so I won't have to comfort you alone." I answered him and then blew the whistle. Then a wolf appeared. Before he could ask I said "This is my pet, Atlas." Atlas went to Jeff and sniffed him. She then wagged her tail and looked up at him. I just chuckled. "She's taken a liking to you Jeff." He then crouched down and pet her head down to the end of her back. He  smiled. A comforted smile. I smiled back. He then sat on his bed and patted the spot next to him. I sat down where he patted and then Atlas jumped onto the bed and laid her head on my legs. I gently petted her while she dozed off. Jeff kept staring at Atlas. That is until I spoke up. "I have to tell you something." "What is it?" He asked with concern in his voice. "Well I got scared at 2:37 this morning. I saw a horrific face and I can't sleep now." I told him looking down and my lap. "I did too." He said looking down at his lap. I looked at him with shock then I started to talk again. "I'm scared. I don't want to get hurt." After those words, I felt arms around me and this arms belonged to Jeff. "It's okay. I'm here." I snuggled into his chest and started to doze off. I then whispered something to him. "He also said 'Go To Sleep' and now I don't want to sleep, Jeff." "It's okay. You won't get hurt while I'm here." He answered me. I then fell asleep in his embrase.

I woke up and heard a soft snoring. I looked up to see Jeff sleeping. I decided to just go back asleep. And so I did with Atlas cuddling with us.
