"Jared?" I said crying hugging him. "Taylor, I missed you" he said squeezing me tighter.
*flashback*
My phone started ringing, it was Jared. I answered it, "hey Jared" "Taylor, he's doing it again", his voice was shaky, "it's a lot worse than what he usually does. He's really drunk and my mom is bleeding. He cut her, and he gave me a black eye. He's going for Emma now. I'm scared I don't want her to get hurt." I heard loud pitch scream in the background. "I have to go save her, call the police and be careful, I love you Taylor." I started crying, "I'm going to do whatever I can, I love you too." He hung up.
I called the police. I met them at his house. They were gone, no one was there but their house was a mess.
*end of flashback*
That was the last I heard of Jared. We were best friends, we were closer than that. I loved him. He did anything to protect me. His dad abused him just like mine abused me. After that night I never saw him again, his dad cut him off from the world and no one knew what happened. Now he is back and I feel as safe as ever. I let go of him and looked back. I saw Hunter looking down about to cry.
