Insanely in Love

Hah..so..its been a while.  But...I have no reason I'm just uninspired. Here's John's backstory for ya!

John POV

"Stop it!!" I plead to Francis, I beg and I beg and he wont stop, I think its encouraging him at this point, but..its fine, I'll take all this pain as long as he doesn't hurt Phillip..no matter how scarring this must be for him, since Francis is making him watch, but...maybe he will thank me in the future

Eventually..after a very, long time, I've had enough. Francis is passed out, drunk, in the couch.  It's my chance.
Good bye hell!
I get Pip, he's finally sleeping and I have to wake him..poor kid, I tell him to grab his stuff we are leaving. I start gathering some of my things, Phillip grabs his.

That's when I hear it..movement, its Francis..I grab my bag out of fear, for some reason deciding this small turtle plush is a good thing to bring. I dont know, something inside me told me to. I scoop up Phillip, he is only bundled in a small jacket, its snowing outside but this is all we have. I wrap him in my jacket and run outside, I run, I run and I run until I'm panting. We've made it to a Stop N' Rob at the end of the street. I sigh, sliding down the side of the building, look at me..I have no where to go, what was I thinking? I'm dragging my kid with me to, but I couldn't  leave him. I start crying, Pip curls up in my lap, for warmth and comfort and cries with me "I'm so sorry baby...shh.."

"Momma..." Pip nuzzled, sniffling quietly

"Aw, Baby dont get sick..c'mon.." I picked him up,  holding him on my hip as I walk inside the cigarette smelling gas station and sigh, hoping they will let us stay in here for abit. I sit near the back and hold Pip close, he looks so warm in my down jacket.

After a few minutes a store employee comes up to us, a costumer just so happened to be in the aisle near. He had messy black hair, pale-ish skin and wore a hoodie.

"Exscuse me, mam'-"
"Sir"
"Sir, sorry. I'm gonna have to ask you to look around like a costumer or leave"

I nod slowly, Pip stood up and started to collect myself, that's when the costumer looked over "Pft. Get a job"

I sigh, I had a job.

I start to leave, when just as I'm at the door he turns me around "I'm sorry..that was rude of me, I've had a bad day...is there anyway I could make it up to you? You look awful thin, and cold.." he commented, I gave a small smile, I nod ..why do I trust him?

"My lil kid here could eat..."

He nodded, giving me his hoodie, I snuggle in its warmth, he leads us to his car...I'm hesitant..do I trust him? I decide he's safe, after inspecting some of the car, I get in "the little one can sit in the backseat" he comments, I shake my head. "Pip stays with me" he buckle up with Pip in my lap.
