Next to You ☼ Jack Avery

fifteen

I ran down the stairs and my dad yelled at me, I had texted everyone who knew to come get me and Jack was the only one to respond

the doorbell rang and I opened the door and went to rush out until my dad yelled again

"one sec, i'm sorry if you hear this" I turned

"where the fuck do you think your going?"

"away from you"

"why"

"BECAUSE dad you used to be the best dad in the world, you loved Tonia and Tyson, you could feel the bond that you two had but you fucked it up because your an ass person now, YOU WERE FUCKING EVERY GIRL YOU TOOK TO COFFEE, and then you disappeared after that, and no I don't mean physically I mean mentally, you left like a week ago and I don't think there is hope for you anymore, so if one day you wake up and reality hits you like a fucking bus, call me, but until then, don't even think of keeping my name in your mouth"

we stared at each other and a tear fell down my face

I walked out and shut the door

Jack immediately hugged me, this time I couldn't control my feelings, i've been hiding the overwhelming amounts of pain thats happening on the inside and I finally let them go

I buried my face into his shirt and he rubbed my back as I cried

"why is this happening" I muttered out

"its okay, you will be okay"

I laid in Jacks bed wearing track pants and a hoodie, this guy is just making it harder for me he was being so nice and caring for me

he walked into his room and laid down beside me

he pulled me close to him and I leaned my head on his chest as he looked through his phone

mine went off and I pulled it out of my pocket, Jack started playing with my hair
