Upon Deaf Ears (Part 3)

Start from the beginning
                                    

He looked at the tallest of the group, nodding before backing up. I looked up at him, seeing his pull his fist back. He swung at me, but I was able to duck in time. I pushed him away, running backwards towards my home. I looked back, seeing all three chase after me.

I panicked, seeing my house come into view. My mother and father stood outside, worry clear on their face as they talked to someone in a truck.

"J-Jaren!" I yelled out. All three looked my way. I could see anger on my fathers face as started yelling at the boys behind me. Jaren hopped out of his car, opening his arms towards me. I sunk into them, breathing heavily as I felt his fingers run through my hair.

I sighed, letting his warmth envelope me until a thought forced its way into my head. I backed away from him, sadness seeping into me as i watched him.

'You told them, didnt you?' I signed.

'Those jerks? Why the hell would I tell them, John?' 'Because you really dont want to be my friend?' Jaren stared at me. His eyes were filled with hurt, but I was hurt worse. 'I swear I wouldnt-' Jaren stopped his hands, shock filling his face as he looked back down the street.

'Craig.' I nodded.

I felt tears roll down my cheeks. He told Craig to get them, why the fuck did I ever trust him. I turned, walking back into the house. Jaren pulled on my arm, but I just shook it off. "So much for a new friend."

--------------------

I layed in bed, tossing up ny stress ball and catching it. I did this multiple times, not even stopping when my father walked in. He sat on my bed, cathing the ball mid air. I glared at him, watching as he sat the ball down and grapped the pen and paper from my nightstand.

'John, we need to talk.'

'About what? Theres nothing to talk about.' 'Your mother and I are worried about you.' 'You always are.' 'More so than we already are. Who is that boy?'

'His namr is Jaren. He was my friend until he hurt me.' My dad looked towards the desk, but I already knew who it was.

'Call him back, Johnny.' 'Why do you care?' 'Because youre my son. You need friends. Ill try to let you go, for your sake. Ill deal with your mother if anything comes up.'

I stared at him. What can I say, I was suspicious. 'Did you talk to him?' My dad just smiled at me. 'Talk to him. Let him explain.'

With that, my dad handed me my stress ball back and left the room with a wink. Something was definately up.

I grabbed my phone, seeing the multiple texts from Jaren, along with people in the groupchat. None from Craig though, but I didnt expect anything from him.
