there he was, tj kippen, beating up his dad.

"you son of a bitch get off me!" he pushed tj against the wall.

"leave me alone!" tj wrapped his hands around throat and put as much force as he could on there.

he started to choke but was still wrestling tj but tj resisted. tj put even more pressure on his throat and slammed him against the wall.

"you stupid fucking bitch!" tj screamed tightening his grip as much and he could, "how dare you do that to carmen and alyssa! how dare you do that to mom! how dare you do that to anyone!" tj slammed him on the floor.

he passed out. this gave tj enough time to put him and his mom, who his dad had knocked out earlier, in the closet tied up. then he could call the police.

he quickly dragged them into the hallway closet and tied them up with some duct tape.

he went to get cyrus out of the attic but he was already coming down the ladder. they called 911 immediately.

"officer you dont understand, you see this bruise on his face? thats from a belt, his dad struck him with a belt." cyrus said pointing at the big bruise on tjs face.

"really?" the officer asked examining the purple and blue spot on the boys face.

"really. his parents also are extreme druggies and they have twin girls that are 4 that tj has been caring for since they were born." cyrus explains.

"and where might they be hm?" the officer asks.

"at my aunts house on mayberry avenue." tj points down the street.

"and how old are you guys?"

"17." tj says.

"where are your parents young man?" the officer points at cyrus.

"oh they're on a business trip. they trust me enough to stay at home for a week or so with tj. they also gave me money and they call to check on me every few hours." cyrus says partially lying.

"we're going to investigate your parents tj, do you need a ride anywhere? this place isn't safe right now..." the officer asks checking his watch. "im sure kevin over there will be happy to give you a ride while i take them to the police station."

"actually can you take us to my friend andi's?" cyrus asks.

"sure can."

~cyrus~

i knock on andi's door and wait for them to answer. i feel fingers slip into my hand and interlock with mine and i look up at tj. i stare into his blueish-green eyes and we just stay like that for a moment.

bex answers the door and snaps us out of our gaze. "why are you guys here its 4am." she groans.

"it's actually really important bex we almost died." i say.

"oh well come in i guess?" she says sleepily moving so we can come in. buffy and andi are crashed on the couch, as i expected. "i guess just sit until they wake up, I'll be in andi's bed because it's better than mine."

tj sits down in the chair and i just stand there not knowing where to sit.

"you can sit beside me." he scoots over as much as he can.

"tj if i sat there i would be 3/4 on your lap and barely on the seat." i say rolling my eyes playfully.

"exactly." tj mumbles.

"what?" i ask because i didn't hear him.

"what?" tj asks trying to avoid what he said.

~

"so your telling me you guys almost died about an hour ago?" andi asks as she takes a bite of her bagel.

"yes we literally just told you the whole story ." i sass her a bit.

"well im glad you're okay cyrus!" buffy says hugging me. i look over at tj and he looks annoyed hmmm.

~tj~

hi im alive im the one who's going through all of this but no noboby cares im alive.

"earth to tj?" cyrus waves his hand in front of my face. "what's wrong?"

"nothing." i reply harshly.

"tj please tell me." cyrus begs.

"it's nothing cy, i promise." i say tapping my fingers on the armrest.

cyrus sighs, "fine."

tj great job you're going to lose him you better stop.
