It was sunday and Jack was having his friends over for a movie night. When Jonah and Corbyn arrived they started setting up

Crash!!!!!!

It sounded like glass was smashed on the apartment above his. Jonah and Corbyn looked at him and he shrugged. Jack didn't know who lived above him, he never met them.

'I've never heard that before' he thought 'Its probably noth-'

His thought were interrupted by a loud cry, it sounded like a boy.

Ja: stay here, I'll be back

Jack went to the elevator and went up to the second floor. He walked down the hall and knocked on his door. A minute later the door opened up and and a frightened young man was standing there.

Ja: hey I was just wondering what all the noise was about?
Za: W-what noise?
Ja: I heard something break and then I think I heard you crying
Za: n-nope, I think your ears are playing tricks on you

Jack didn't believe this for one second. The boy had a large turtle neck sweater on and it was zipped all the way up. He also heard heavey breathing coming from the apartment

Za: thanks for caring sir that's nice of you,but I have to go back in
Ja: what was the noise tho, I know it came from here, are you okay?
Za: wish I could tell you 'bout the noise but I didn't hear a thing
Ja: okay, do you know what it could've been?
Za: It must have been the wind

Jack nodded and went back to his apartment. He had his movie night with Jonah and Corbyn with minimal noise.

Corbyn and Jonah left at about 8pm or so and Jack went to his room. He didn't know what to do about the boy. He was laying on the cool, concrete floor thinking and thinking, piecing everything together the best he could.

He knew something was wrong and nothing made the feeling go away. He wanted to ask more but Jack felt that would be intruding and he didn't have all the facts to do anything about it

'I can't just leave him' he thought

Jack got up and left his apartment, he went to the second floor and walked down the hall until he reached his door. The same boy opened up and Jack asked again

Ja: can I know what the noise was early?
Za: I already said I didn't hear anything, it must be your ears play tricks on you
Ja: it has me worried, I know its something more, what is it?
Za: it must of been the wind, but thanks again for caring

Jack was about to walk away but he turned back and looked at the boy, who was still in the turtle neck sweater

Ja: you really didn't hear anything?
Za: I didn't hear a thing, sir
Ja: call me Jack, I live in the apartment below you if you need
Za: thanks, and I'm Zach
__: whats taking so long

A angry voice sounded through the apartment

Za: I have to go

*the next day*

Jack was setting up his speaker on his balcony to play a song for Zach, Lean On Me. He was hoping that when Zach hears the lyrics he will know Jack is there and he is safe.

Ja: when he hears this I know what I'll say. He said to himself

A couple hours later Jack hard a knock on the door and he opened it. To his surprise it was Zach.

Za: thank you for the song
Ja: I promise I'm not playing tricks on you
Za: I know you're not
Ja: you can always come in
Za: thank you so much this means a lot
Ja: of course, stay hear as long as you want
Za: do you mean that? We don't even know each other
Ja: I can always be your friend

Zach hugged Jack and closed the door. Jack took the smaller boy to the couch and sat him down

Ja: we can talk about the noise when you're ready, are you?
Za: no, sorry
Ja: don't apologize, until you are we can say it must have been the wind
Za: right, it must have been the wind, thank you
Ja: no problem, your always safe with me
