Wait For Me (Roadrat Highschool Au)

You're A Dream

Mako had stared at the note. He stayed up late with the small piece of paper between his large fingers,debating whether he should put the number in his phone.
It was such an obscene thing to obsess over,a small heart drawn on the note.
Mako had immediantly dismissed the idea of Jamison writing it in a romantic sense. Maybe it was left over from a discarded love note? But to who? Jamison,in the two days he had known him,has never shown any interest in anyone.
He huffed,sitting up on his messy bed,and pulling his phone out of his hoodie pocket. He turned it on and went into his contacts. He pressed the "add new contact" and his finger hung over the bar.

Pushing back his anxiety,he typed in Jamison's number. Once he was done typing in the number,he went into the messages.
He actually hadn't though about what he was going to say. Eventually he decided to go with the most basic intro-message.

12:34 M-Rut: Hey,is this Jamison Fawkes?

He pressed send on the message and waited anxiously for a response. Whilst he waited,he got up and began taking his shirt off. His lazy ass of a father never got the AC in his room fixed,so he was always hot.
It was a good thing they were entering the more chilly months,popping open a window was the best he could do.

Bing!

Mako turned, stepping over to his bed and grabbed his phone.

12:38 Rat: yep!!!!! Hi mako wht r u doing up so late

12:39 M-Rut: can't sleep. Did you find the book yet?

12:40 Rat: ya itz gonna com in tmrw

12:42 M-Rut: ok cool,thanks James.

12:45 Rat: yeh no prob big guy

12:45 Rat: btw whats ur fav animal

12:49 M-Rut: pigs,why?

Jamison took a while to respond,but when he did,it was with a screenshot. Mako's name (M-Rut) was changed to Hoggy 🐷

12:53 M-Rut: oh sweet,how did you do that?

Jamison texted him a little tutorial and it took Mako a bit to figure it out,but he sent Jamison a screenshot of his new name

12:58 Ratty 🐭: it's perfect m8 I 💚 it

Mako laughed to himself,realizing how hard he was smiling now.

They talked for another 30 minutes before Jamison stopped responding,thinking he had just fallen asleep,Mako turned off his phone and layed on his side,drifting to sleep slowly.

"I can't fucking stand this anymore! I'm leaving you,you fucking pig! Don't fucking touch me!" Carol shoved her clothes into the back of her small black car. Ron was behind her, his shirt soaked with rain.
"You bitch. You're not fucking leaving!" He grabbed Carols arm forcefully, pulling her to him. She struggled,kicking him repeatedly.
The rain got harder and it was harder to hold onto Carol,his grip began to slip and she got away from him. Carol's shirt was ripped in two places,the rips were long and ragged,they exposed her bruised and tan skin underneath.
She growled,turning to him and punching him in the nose. Ron fell onto his ass,he had tried to soften the landing with his wrist,which broke under his weight.
He howled in pain,staying on the ground. Blood ran down from his nose,he sputtered and spat the blood out of his mouth. Carol looked down at him in disgust,and went to the other side of the car.
Before she got in,she looked up. Mako was looking through the second story window. His face held a scared and confused expression. She shouted "I LOVE YOU" but with the glass between them and the rain,it sounded like a whisper. She got in the car and started it up.
Mako should've moved,he should have ran downstairs and he should've begged his mom to stay. His mom was the only thing between him and his father.
But he didnt. He stayed put and he stayed quiet.
Mako watched in silence as his mother drove away from him. Mako watched in silence as the only person who loved him drive away.
His father came in and screamed at him,blaming Mako for her departure. He didn't answer,he only his his face between his hands and he cried. His father only screamed louder.
"You piece of shit."
" Worhtless. "
"She left me- because you"
"You did this to us"
"She hated you"
Mako uncovered his face with his hands,snot and tears ran down his scrunched up face.
"Fuck you."

His father beat the shit out of him. Yelled at him some more,and left. Mako was on the floor now,curled up tight. His body screamed in agony and his nose was bloodied. He was sure to bruise.
Mentally and physically.

 

Mako woke up,sweating and shaking. It was cold in his room. He sat up and wiped his face,taking in a deep breath. Mako put on a black t-shirt,and pulled his hoodie over his head.

Turning on his phone,he went to his weather app he checked so often. A cold front had blown in from the north.
He groaned,stepping into his bathroom and doing his usuals routines. Quickly brushing his teeth and hair,washing his face,and slathering on his deodorant.

Mako stepped outside of his house,his father had already left as his truck was gone. Groaning at having to walk to school in the cold weather.

It took him only 15 minutes to get to the school,which was pretty good considering the cold front. He stepped inside,smiling at the warmth.
  He made his way to the cafeteria,looking around. He heard a whistle,and turned. He saw a flurry of blonde hair that of course belonged to Jamison.
He was smiling and waving his arms at Mako,smiling widely. Jamison had the book in his hand and he stood up,running towards Mako.
"Ey,Hoggy, got the book! " Jamison shoved it into his hands,smiling proudly. "Alright,y'need to come to my house after school,we're a day late on this project,alright? "
"Yeah,okay."

A/N: sorry this is short,I've been caught up with stuff.
