Thursday, same as the previous chapters
JOHNNY ORLANDO

It was Thursday night, and I told Lauren we'd only stay for the day.

I should be ashamed of myself if I told Maddie we would stay the night and go to school the next day.

She didn't expect us today, in fact, she didn't expect anyone to come knocking on her door today.

But she still welcomed us in.

I haven't told her about the school or dad finding us yet.

Neither does she know that Lauren and I are abused by him too.

It was currently 7 pm and Lauren and Annie are in another room upstairs while I was sitting on one of the couches.

"Hey," I hear Maddie's voice.

I look up my phone and see her sit across me.

"Maddie." I spoke. "Just in time, I was just about to tell you that we're leaving-"

"I think you guys should stay the night." Maddie suddenly says.

I give her a confused look.

"Your things for school tomorrow are already here, anyway." She says. "And Annie's asleep upstairs."

"But Maddie-" I start off.

"I insist." She says. "Also, Lauren told me."

Fuck she knew.

"Told you what?" I ask innocently, pretending I had no idea what she was talking about.

"I know your strategies, Johnny." Maddie says with a serious look. "You can't fool me this time."

Fuck she knew.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." I continue.

She gave me look.

I make a pouty face and crossed my arms.

"Yeah, yeah you win this time." I say.

She chuckled.

"I'll go tell Lauren and Annie I have clothes for them to change in." She says standing up from her seat.

"Wait!" I stop her. "What am I supposed to wear?"

"I've got that covered." She says.

I gave her a look.

"I'm not wearing crop tops or dresses." I say, crossing my arms.

She laughed at my statement.

She motioned me to follow her to her room.

And I did.

I followed her until we reached her room.

"Sit." She spoke, motioning towards the bed

I gave her another look as I walked towards the bed.

"I'm not your pet-" I spat.

"Just sit." She says pushing me a bit.

It made me stumble backwards, my butt landing on the bed.

I crossed my arms.

"I feel like a 5-year old who just got in trouble." I say.

"Here." Maddie says bringing out a box from her closet.

"What's that?" I ask.

"Clothes for you to wear." She replies.

I open the box to see clothes that I'd wear. Like the typical hoodie and sweatpants. For men.

Where in the world would she get boy clothes?

Why would she have boy clothes.

"Where-" I spoke before stopping. "Holy shit."

She turns to me.

"You had a boyfriend?!" I ask in shock.

She shrugged, trying to ignore the question.

"You're trying to ignore my question, answer me!" I demand.

"Do you want the clothes or not?" Maddie asks back, holding onto the box

"Answer my question first." I say, with a smirk.

She sighs then nods.

"And you didn't tell me?!" I say.

She rolls her eyes.

"It's not too big of a deal." She says.

"Uh, it is." I tell her before grabbing the box.

Before walking out the door I turn around.

"You're sleeping with them." Maddie says.

She read my mind-

"What are you? A fucking mind reader?" I joke.

"I guess you can say that." She says, pushing me out of her room. "Now go, get your rest. You three are going to school tomorrow. No excuses."

"But-" I start off.

"No buts this time, Johnny." Maddie says before closing her room door.

I sigh and walk to the other room where Lauren and Annie are.
