Jack's POV

"When I was little, my dad was the best....he'd take me out to ball games, play catch with me, y'know, the usual....." I trail off, looking at my hands.

"And when I told them I was bisexual, my dad was angry, he disappeared for 2 days. When he came back he reeked of alcohol, he was abusive, he'd hit my mom for 'raising a child that way', and he'd always yell at me. Always. He'd yell at me for being such a- such a-" A tear makes it's way down my cheek and I can't complete the sentence because I hate that word so, so much.

"It's okay, Jack." Zach rubs my back soothingly.

"And when I bought home my first boyfriend, he went crazy again, and then he calmed down a week after. I swear he tries, but h-he scares me s-s-so much...." I start stuttering as the painful memories come back to me.

"And now...he's hitting my mom. I bet. He hit me too." Zach sucks in a sharp breath and hugs me even tighter.

Without him asking, I take off my shirt and turn around so Zach's facing my back, letting him look at the 'healed' scars.

"They're not really healed, because the memories that come with them never go away. Honestly, they're ugly, and my back used to be numb." I say, and I feel Zach kiss a spot on my back, on a scar, I'm pretty sure

"What are you doing?" I ask him.

"Healing you. Making sure you can still feel on your back." Zach says as he continues. He kisses every scar on my back, and then wraps his arms around me, resting his face in the crook of my neck.

"Jack Avery, I swear on my life that this will never happen to you or anyone you love, ever again." Zach mumbles.

"Your scars tell me that you're someone who never gives up, that you're selfless, that you're strong. And there is no part of you that's ugly." Zach finishes.

"Thanks, Dean." I say playfully.

"No problem, Robert." He replies, laughing, as he slips my shirt back on me.

"Dean, I think I'm gonna go for a walk." I stand up.

"Want me to come?" Zach offers.

"No, I need some time to think." I reply, hoping he understands.

"Okay Robert. I understand." Zach says, looking sympathetic.

"Thanks Dean. I love you to the stars-" I say, looking at him.

"And back." Zach finishes the sentence.

"Be safe, Robert. Love you!" Zach shouts as I walk out the door.

I put my earbuds in my ears and start listening to music, and start walking.

10 minutes later(b/c im lazyyyyy)

I'm waiting for the light to turn green. I'm the only one here, but it's ok. Not many people come to this park.

The light turns green and I start walking.

Out of the nowhere, a red Mustang starts speeding across the road and I'm standing there, stunned.

I feel a pushing sensation in my side and everything goes black.

Zach, I'm so sorry.........

Zach's POV

Why hasn't Jack come back yet?

"Zach, chill he's probably fi-" Daniel gets cut off as my phone starts ringing. All 4 of us in the room stare at it until I pick it up, my hand trembling
