||Mitchs POV||
We are walked into Jerome's bedroom and he immediately picked me up. "Let me see" he whispered.
I nodded as he sat me in his lap. I took off my shirt standing up. I showed his the fresh cuts across my back. I heard a gasp as his fingers touched my cuts. I winced. Jerome immediately removed his fingers. I heard the sending noise looking over. "Talking to Preston" he whispered. I nodded.
He pointed to the wrap on my chest. I looked at my feet as I removed it. It had stoped bleeding so the words where clear. Sobs finally rolled out of Jerome mouth. I hugged him tightly running my fingers threw his hair. "Please don't cry babe." I begged.
Jerome shook his head stopping after a moment. "How could someone hurt something as amazing as you? Especially like this?" He asked as Preston and Matt burst threw the door.
Matt looked away Preston gasped covering his mouth with his hands. "Mitch are you okay?" Preston asked.
I nodded turning to look at them. They both yelped seeing the word carved into my chest. I couldn't. They saw me. The cuts. Everything. Even the fat parts of me. I grabbed my shirt pulling it back on.
Matt spoke up finally. "We have to call someone. Mitch you can't take all this one day you'll die!" He said. I just...shrugged.
Jerome looked at me. "Mitch. You don't mean that. You don't wanna die" he said. He wasn't a question more of a beg. I slipped past everyone opening the door. "I just realized that I left my mom. I have to go" I mumbled.
I shut Jerome's door. I looked around spotting rope on the counter. I tied it around the door nob tying the other side to the stair case. Now they couldn't open the door. I ran down the stairs and out the front door. I ran down the street to my house walking in. My dad was home. "Welcome back fat ass. Come here" he huffed.
He slapped a belt in his hands. I moved slowly closer to him. I felt the belt hit me. I screamed in pain collapsing on the floor. I saw my mom appear at the top of the stairs. I shook my head. I saw tears stream down her face as she went to hide. I felt a burning sensation threw out all my cuts.
Salt water.
He was poring salt water on me. I sobbed in pain as he smashed a bottle on my back. Then another. Two became six and I was barley awake. Finally he smashed the last one walking out. I heard the car start. He was leaving for the night.
I felt arms around me and I looked up to we my crying mother. "I'm so sorry mitchy. You don't deserve this hold on!" She begged running upstairs. She came back down with wraps bandaids and tweezers. She rolled me onto my back. She ripped off my shirt to get to the glass.
It felt like day of pain. I didn't scream once. I was to tired. I listened to her sobs and her loving words. He would take a break every once and a while playing with my hair softly. Then she would continue till all the glass was gone. She placed a bandaid on every cut. On the larger ones she put a gaws type thing with media tape. She didn't miss anything.
She rolled my onto my back gasping as she saw the word on my chest. She broke into sobs. "We have to leave. I've saved the money please Mitch. Enough is enough!" She begged...
I had to. I'm sorry Jerome. I'm sorry ember. I'm sorry Preston. I'm sorry rob. I'm sorry Brendan. I'm sorry Matt. I'm sorry vikk. I'm sorry Lachlan.
I nodded slowly standing up with the help of my mom. She ran upstairs grabbing her wallet helping me to the car. I slid in as she walked around to her side. She got in starting the car. I sighed as we drove off. We didn't look back we drove. I picked up my phone calling ember.
"Mitch?" She asked.
"Hey ember" I replied trying to sound calm. "We finally did it. Which means-" I said trailing off at the end.
I heard her erupt in sobs from the other line. "O-Okay. Stay safe mitch." She said hanging up. I looked at my phone blocking the whole pack. Except for one number. Jerome's. I needed to disappear but I knew sometimes I would need to hear his voice.
Time skip
It had been a solid month. I had read every message Jerome had sent me that day probably fifty times since we left. We staid in a hotel so he couldn't find us.
I looked at my phone staring at my lock screen. A photo ember had taken that night at the slumber party of him carrying me around the house. It was my favourite photo. I continued to look at it.
I finally opened my phone going to calls. I immediately pressed his name. I needed to hear his voice. I muted myself just listening. He picked up after a few rings and my heart was crushed. "Hello?" A female voice asked. I immediately hung up. I sat up blocking Jerome's number. I should have known. I should have known!
"MITCH ARE YOUR BAGS PACKED?" My Mom yelled from the washroom. I sighed. Mom had bought a house back home. Near embers. It was only a month away but we had gotten news that my father remarried so we where safe to go home. Welcome to the real world fokes not everything is good but bad doesn't last forever.
I sighed standing up. I grabbed me and my moms bags. "YEP LE GOOOO" I yelled running to the door. She laughed walking out.
We walked out of the hotel after checking out. We got into the car and started to drive. It felt like days though it was only seven hours till we pulled up to our new house. I noticed ember sitting in her hammock out front with a book on her face. Ohhhh this would be good.
I walked up to her. I stayed quiet. "Hey. I'm your new nabour. The names benga" I smirked.
I saw her freeze. Her hand slowly removed the book from her face. "MITCH!" She screamed jumping on me, Knocking us to the ground. I laughed hugging her tightly. "Your back!" She smiled a stray tear falling down her face.
I nodded as we rolled in the grass hugging. "So any knees about the pack?" I asked. She shook her head. "Does the school know about poofless?" I asked again she shook her head.
I sat up jumping to her feet. "Welcome home mitch party at my place!" She giggled.
I nodded. "What if we don't tell them that I'm here and I like am in like a wrapped box or something?" I asked.
She nodded rubbing her hands together. "This is gonna be fun" she laughed maniacally.
I chuckled walking over to my car pulling out a large empty box. "The great this about moving" I smirked. We ran into her house towards her room. We sat on the floor staring to wrap up the box until it looked perfect.
Hellyeahhhhh
