Chapter Nine

Mac's POV

Yeah, I knew about Jac and his bruises. I know that his dad beats him. Trust me I've reported him many times but he always calls in favors or does some unbelievable shit to get out of it. I feel bad for Jac but no matter how many times I try he's always stuck there. His dad makes him wear hoodies so they don't see the bruises. We decided to not tell Jen because we knew that she would freak out so when she did find out we knew that there would be no calming her down. "YOU KNEW?!" Jen asked me. Welp, there's no going back. If I don't tell her the truth, she'll kill Jac's dad. Then again, she's going to kill him anyways. sigh "Since first grade. Look, Jen, I have tried on multiple occasions to get him out of this situation but I can't no matter how much I want to." "We have to find a way to help him!" Jen said. "Don't bother. It's hopeless." Jac said coming from behind. Perfect timing. "JAC! D-DID HE HIT YOU AGAIN? PLEASE TELL ME HE DIDN'T.", Jen practically screamed at him. Jac ignored her and I can see why. How do you tell someone that your dad just gave you a new bruise?

 We walked to school. At lunch, we were sitting at table 4 like normal. We were talking about Jac's dad when Nikko sat down next to me. "Hey guys! Whatcha talking about?" Me, Jac and Jen gave each other a look that meant "Do we tell him?" There was a long pause before Jen said "Nothing." Guess we're not telling him. Nikko looked at Jen intensely for a while. "You're lying. It has something to do with Jac and his family life." What the fuck? How did he know? T-that's crazy! "How the fuck did you know? Jen asked. "I have a gift. " Nikko said. "Now, whats happening with Jac?" We explained to him that his dad is abusing him and that we need to do something about it. "I don't know what to do," Nikko said. "What if Jac stays at your house Mac for the time being? At least until we know it's safe." Jac and I looked at each other and we were thinking the same thing. 

"SLEEPOVER SPECTACULAR!" "Oh god...," Jen said. "Sleepover what?" Nikko said. "We have a sleepover every year. Jen doesn't want to come because she thinks its weird that its two boys and one girl. Want to come with?" I asked Nikko. We would get to know Nikko better. And we would probably be better friends then we are now. Nikko didn't hesitate to answer. "Sure! Sounds like fun!" "Cool. Today at 7." I said. The bell rang and we headed off to band. The rest of the day was a blur. It went by so quick. 

I arrived home and got everything ready for the SLEEPOVER SPECTACULAR. What's wrong with me? Anyway, the doorbell rang. It was Jac. This was going to be a fun night. Later Nikko arrived. This night just got better. We did what we usually did. We did random shit. After that, we played a bunch of games. When I looked at the clock it was 2:30 A.M. That quick? We were all kind of tired so we decided to go sleep. I hope I don't sleep talk...

MEANWHILE

Jen's POV

The boys were having their annual SLEEPOVER SPECTACULAR so that meant I had nothing to do except plan revenge on Jac's dad... I decided to call the girls. They were my best friends before I met Jac and Mac. After that, we all started drifting apart. We had made an agreement though. If any one of us needed help from the other 3 (There are 4 of us in total), we would all meet up at my aunt's house no matter what. We had stayed in touch so we have eachothers phone numbers. All we needed to say was this one thing in the group chat and everyone would meet up within 10 minutes. I know I can count on them.

JenniDaGirl: Hey girls! I know this is a bit out of the blue but.... Code Blue. 

Christie: WHAT?! I'LL BE THERE IN 5.

BrookeTheBookWorm: We haven't used code blue since him and that was serious... I'm guessing we need our sleepover supplies? 

JennaRoRo: JENNI OPEN YOUR DOOR IM ALREADY HERE. 

JenniDaGirl: Thank you SO much!

Code Blue was last used when Brooke's father almost killed her mother. We don't talk about that. Jenna is currently unpacking her supplies. Aunt Monica knows about these sleepovers. She has joined us a few times before. "Honey, Christine and Brooke are here. Do you want me to lead them up to your room?" "Yes please, Auntie. Thank you so much!". 

~Le Time Skip~

For the past 10 minutes, we have been catching up with eachother. I feel like I should tell them the reason I called them up now. "Its been nice catching up but its time to tell you the reason I called all of you up here. Code Blue. We all know that stands for someone is being hurt." Jenna is like the mother of the group. "We know it isn't you. You would punch that person in the face, so who is it?" Christine is the most innocent one out of the bunch. "Does it have to do with those boys you hang out with?". So there's Christine and Jenna. And then there's Brooke. She's uhhhh unique. She sort of reminds me of Nikko. She can tell exactly what the situation is. "It's about that Jacob kid, isn't it? His dad is abusing him.". All I did was nod. They all seemed strangely calm. Jenna spoke first. "What weapons did everyone bring?". I took out my signature pocket knife which I always carried. Jenna took out her razorblades, Christine took out her lighter, and Brooke took out her pepper spray. Perfect. 

We decided that we would find out where Jac lived and give his dad a......warning. Just a few nicks and burns, nothing too serious. We also decided that if he continued, we would continue. We have never really killed anyone but we were close once. Let's just say that person put a restraining order on us... OH WELL. 

~1 Hour Later~

Its been an hour and we finally found his address... We are currently dressing up in the darkest clothes we can find so we can go give his dad a warning. I still cant believe nobody knows its us. Im even more surprised that I'm still the ASB President. Oh well.... Time to go give a warning to that asshole!
