JAKE'S P.O.V

I woke up in that same small closet with a pounding headache. Visions came back to me of the events which occurred earlier. Still in a daze, I got up and left the closet in a hurry and ran out of the school grounds and back home. Home. Its not really my home because as they say 'the home is where the heart is' and my heart isn't here, my heart isn't really anywhere. My life is filled with so much pain that I know of nothing else but I'm still not at breaking point yet. I wish I had what a normal teenager had; a loving home, friends, a social life and just somewhere to feel safe but I have none of those and one day I hope this pain leaves.

As I entered the house I noticed my dad stood right in the hallway with his hands on his hips and an extremely furocious look on his face. Im in for a right treat....

"What are you doing back here you no good piece of shit!?!!?"
I quivered as he stomped over to me and pushed me to the ground
My 'father' proceeded to beat until I was barely breathing, as my reply was nothing but silent please, as to which point he picked me up and threw me out the front door where it was freezing as evening rolled by and it was getting darker, I how I'm terrified of the dark.

"I don't want to see your ugly ass right now, piss off!" The monster in front of me rawred and slammed the door shut in my face.

I shivered as I helplessly got up and staggered towards the park in ripped clothes that are doing nothing to keep me warm. I hate how my life is going, I want warmth and I want love. Nothing I deserve though...

As I managed to get through the park entrance, that was when my weak and fragile body gave up and I collapsed on the ground and began to cry. Cry for everything I didn't have. Cry for the pain. Cry for emptiness in which I feel. This was my breaking poin Soon my cries turned into sobs and I didn't notice the footsteps coming towards me but as this person shook me and lifted my head up, I soon descovered I was looking into the eyes of my bully, Brandon.
I quivered and tried to back away which ended up in me falling backwards and injuring myself some more. But it didn't stop him from coming closer...

"Heyy shhh, what are you doing out in the dark and cold? Its freezing. And your so battered up, you need to be checked. Heyy, don't look so scared, I'm sorry for the past but you need someone right now, and for once I'm going to be that someone that a person needs at their breaking point" Brandon whispered it in such a hushed voice I forgot where I was. He was crouched down and slowly approaching as if I would run away in fright if he moved suddenly.

"What are you doing out here? You should be home where its warm and safe." No where's safe for me... I want to reply but I just can't, I can't reply if I ever wanted to. But I'm going to try..

"A-a-a..." That didn't go as planned... See the thing is, I never got taught how to talk so here I am, talking like a baby. Just as I thought that, thundered exploded from above opus and the rain came pelting down soaking the both of us as I began to cry in fright. I never liked thunder storms. Brandon could see them terror on my face and quickly scooped me up so I was quivering in his lap as he cooed to me trying to calm me down.

"Oh darling, can you not talk? " I shook my head as a sign that he was right and look down ashamed. But he picked my chin back up with his index finger lightly. "That makes me feel terrible, I never new, did your parents not teach you?" At the thought f my dad I began shaking again and brandon looked at me in panic and asked quickly "was your parents mean? Did they beat you up?" I nodded my head as Brandon hugged me tighter which caused me to squeak our from the pain which my dad had caused earlier.

"Oh my goodness, did they hurt you tonight? We must get you to warmth so I can help you. C'mon, I live alone, I'll keep you safe" with that, he picked me up bridle style and carried me to where he lived as I layer helplessly in his arms.
Once we reached where he lived, we got inside and he took me to what I'm assuming he room is and layer me down on an extremely comnfy bed. Brandon explained he was going to get some dry clothes and warm thick blankets for us and that he would change me as I was falling asleep. He left the room and came back shortly with a bunch of clothing in his hand in which he proceeded to strip me from my clothes, dry me and put some sweats and a thick jumper on which were obviously his as they were huge on me. He soon got changed and pulled me into his lap craddlong me like a baby as I clung on to him for some sort of safety and warmth. He mentioned something about calling the guys and and explaining the night but i zoned out froomvthinking too much. Is Brandon changing? Is this my love and safety I had wanted?

I was gently shook out of my thoughts as Brandon started speaking "baby, let me put down, the guys arenat the door and I have to let them in" he was speaking softly as he tried to put be down but I whined and clung onto his neck tighter cause I didn't want to be put down, I was petrifyed.

I think he soon got the message because he started to carry me downstairs and to the front door.

BRANDON'S P.O.V

I opened the front door as carefully as I could with poor Jake in my arms to let the guys in. I called them over so they could help me with his injuries and he needs his rest but he doesn't want to be put down. Once the door was opened they looked in my arms and looked confused as I guided them to the living room and sat down cuddling Jake closer to me and explained
"I called you moved because I found Jake crying in the park severely beat up and found out it was his parents. He can't even talk, they've been abusing him that long" I said this in a hushed voice trying not to disturb the poor boy.

"But we bullied him. Why are you doing this?" Dean stated confused.

I sighed because I know now that I will have to confess to them. I looked down at the timid boy in my arms and whispered quietly "I love him" which they all gasped in reply to but agreed to help me clean up his injuries as we took upstairs to my room and the boys got washcloths and bathed him as I held him. He let out wimpers and squrmed but apart from that, he was my brave boy.
Once all that was finished with we satxon my bed and talk chatted quietly and soon noticed Jake had fell asleep clinging on to me which Jason noticed also.

"We'll let ourselves out and lock the door, you get yourself and this one into bed. We'll call the school up the morning stating your both I'll and cant come in so you can be relax and recover. Goodnight."

I was greatful for my friends. I smiled as they left and crawled carefully under the covers with Jake still in my arms and feel asleep.
