Truth Or Dare

Chapter 14 Confrontation

Jack shifted in the doorway uncomfortably. His eyes darting randomly side to side.

After a few tedious seconds I spoke.

"We need to talk."

"Now." I add.

Jack looked back into the house before stepping outside with me, closing the door behind him.

"You alright?" He meekly asked me, avoiding eye contact.

"Me, alright?" I scoffed. He reported me to the police and he has the audacity to ask if I'm alright.

"Look I need to go my mum is cooking dinner," Jack grabbed the handle to walk back inside but I pulled him away from the door. Putting my body between him and his exit.

"Ethan..." He whined.

"You owe it to me to at least talk!"

"I can't," He pushed past me and opened the door.

"Jack!" My patience was wearing thin.

"Goodbye Ethan!" That bloody dick.

"I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

As I was about to walk away I heard the door unclick and a soft voice.

"Ethan?" I half expected it to be Jack but it was his mum.

I ran my fingers through my hair out of frustration and waited for her to continue talking.

"What happened?" I'm taken back by her question. I came here for the answers not a question.

"Honestly I don't know," I sigh taking a seat on the curb, Jill surprised me again by joining me.

"He's changed, he's not my boy anymore," The tone of her voice was heartbreaking. She is on the verge on tears and I'm in no state to comfort her right now.

Before I have time to reply she speaks again.

"He's smoking, drinking and I've seen him go to his room with six different girls in the last four days. I blame it on that new friend that's staying with us. Jake. And my poor niece loves this Jake. I don't think anyone can change that."

Tears started to spill from her eyes.

"Help me Ethan. Help him."

With this statement I feel trapped. Jack isn't the guy I became friends with he's different and not a good different.

"I can't." This couldn't be more truthful. I honestly had no way to help him, he was a sinking ship as soon as this whole situation happened now he has hit rock bottom unable to swim back to surface or be saved by someone. Me.

Without looking back to see a disappointed Jill Tenner I get back in the car and drive away.

I feel like a really bad person my updating skills are lacking, I have just had a bad time exams, funeral planning and problems with 'friends'. So sorry but please continue to comment-vote-read and I don't mind you correcting me or asking questions haha :)
