Entertain My Faith // Adopted By Tyler Joseph

Chapter 10

Jordan's POV

I was infuriated in what Kenny did. I didn't even know why but I felt a natural instinct to protect Faith at all costs. I look down and saw Faith asleep in my arms, something she did a lot. I gently shifted her off me and set her down on the guest bed. I grabbed my jacket and walked out the door, slowly closing it after me. I went out the front door, ignoring the looks from Brendon, Josh, and Jenna. Using the information Josh told me, I found my way to Brendon's house and went to the backyard, not caring if I was trespassing. There I saw Kenny in a chair who was looking up at Zack, who was talking to him with a furious look on his face. I stomped over Kenny. 

"What the hell did you do to Faith!" I yelled, getting a surprised look from both Kenny and Zack.

"Look- I didn't mean it- I swear-" 

"Then why did you do it?" I yelled at him. 

I went over to Kenny and pulled my fist back, punching him in the face. Sure, I was just some 16-year-old. But Kenny is pretty short and Josh helps me with boxing a lot. I only got in one more punch before Zack grabbed me and dragged me away. Kenny held his face in his hand as he looked at me before running to the front of the house and onto the street. 

"He's getting away!" I yelled from Zack's grip, "He has to pay for what he did!"

"Jordan, calm down it's ok. We'll get him back, he'll pay," Zack said calmly. I had met Zack only once before and I guess he remembered me. 

"Come on, let's get you back to Tyler's."

The short ride was silent as I looked out the window on the way to Tyler's. Zack walked me to the house and walked in. 

"Found this kid," Zack said. 

"Jordan where were you?" Josh asked. 

To which I replied, "Beating the hell out of Kenny."

Josh shook his head but I could tell he was hiding a smile. 

"Where...where is Kenny?" Brendon asked hesitantly. 

"He escaped," Zack sighed, "But we can still press charges, he's not getting away with this." 

Everyone nodded.

"I'm going to check on Faith, she fell asleep," I said. 

Everyone said "Ok" as I climbed the stairs and opened the guest room door. Faith was sitting on the bed, breathing hard. I quickly sat down next to her and put my hands on her shoulders.

"Hey, hey Faith, shhh, breath. It's gonna be ok. You're safe, you're ok," I reassured, trying to calm her.

She breathed hardly some more before finally calming down. Her fingernails gripped into my biceps as she held onto me.

"I'm, I'm sorry. You, you left and I thought you didn't want me around and I was just a bother. I'm sorry," Faith explained hurriedly. 

"Faith, it's ok. I just had to take care of something," I explained. 

Faith looked down then gasped, "What happened?" 

She grabbed my hands and brought my knuckles up to her face, inspecting them.

"Did you?"

"He touched you! I wasn't going to allow him to do that," I said, sighing. I felt the need to protect her.

She smiled softly and reached over to hug me. Brendon then popped his head in, looking at me before looking back to Faith. 

"I thought you'd want to hear this. Ryan turned himself in."
