We'd Be Better Off Together
Chapter 44: "No Escape From This Hell"

{TRIGGER WARNING}
"Kiss me like the world is going to disappear," Jack muttered under his breath. They been in here for 3 days already. They would get limited water and food. Jack wouldn't eat. He would drink some water, but no food.
"Jack you have to eat," Sophia said.
"No." This always happened. He would refuse to eat the food. He always did. Noah would always just stare at Jack, glaring. Jack was always to busy trying to find something sharp on the ground but there was nothing.
He needed to cut. He needed to. Everytime they would bring in forks for them to eat Jack would have to use every amount of energy to not get the fork and jab it into his wrist.
But one day... he broke.

"Here. Take the food," The man threw in the food. A fork clattered near Jack. He took the metal object when no one was looking. He kept it with him until night.
***
The room was dark, only one light supporting the dark room. Everyone was asleep except Jack. Jack pulled out the fork and softly jabbed it into his wrist.
His breath hitched as tears began running out of his eyes. He dragged the fork across his wrist, blooding spewing out. Noah groaned as he heard Jack's soft sobs.
"Jack what are you — Jack!" Noah screamed. Noah ran over to Jack and took him in his arms. He threw the fork across the room, putting Jack's head in his chest.
"Look at me. Look at me!" Jack's eyes went to Noah. Noah bent down and kissed Jack roughly. Jack immediately kissed back, wrapping his arms around Noah's neck.
"Jack, why did you cheat on me?"
"What?"
"You cheated on me, the man said so."
"Noah I️ would never cheat on you!"
"And I'm suppose to believe you?"
"Why would I cheat on you?"
"There was a video of you and another guy."
"Fucking Joey."
"What?"
"Some guy kissed me."
"Did you kiss back?"
"Wh-what?"
"You did didn't you?!"
"Noah I️—" Jack was cut off with the door slamming open.
"Where is he?" His step-mom came in, wiping her mouth, vodka dripping from it.
"Ah!" She said. She went over and gripped Jack's neck.
"Let me the fuck go!" She began choking him. That's when everyone woke up. Noah ran over and pulled her off of him. She charged at Jack again. Picking him up and tossing him into the ground, taking her fists and punching him back and forth in the head (kinda what Billy did to Steve in ST2)
"Stop! You're killing him!"

Romance"Finn," Jack whispered, tapping his shoulder. "Yeah?" Finn said as he turned to the smaller boy. "Who's that?" Jack asked Finn who was sitting on the right of him. "That's Noah Schnapp," Finn responded in a whisper. "Why?" "Oh. No reason Finn," J...
