We climb out of the car and right when we pull up, the school bus too.
James steps off the bus, with his head down.
he walks towards his house, he grabs keys out of his jacket and unlocks the door.
he wipes his face and walks in, but before he does so.
He looks at me with sad eyes.
"Whats wrong with him?" I shrug my shoulders.
Then i came to a realization.
"Oh shit, he was bullied." I smack myself in the forehead.
"Well, go cheer him up." I glare at Ethan.
I grab his arm and knock on his door.
It slowly opens, revealing a tired, sad, and red faced James.
"w-what are you guys doing here?" He sniffles rubbing his nose.
"Can we come in?" I ask.
"Sure." He opens the door more widely.
We enter the house.
It's not like our house.
It's not a place where you feel safe.
It's very dull and cold.
"Follow me." James bluntly says, walking up the stairs.
We enter a room, everything was dirty.
The last time we were in his room, it was bright and clean.
He had a smile on his face, even though his mom wasn't here.
But now, his smile is gone and he's hugging himself.
He takes a seat on his messy bed, "S-sit down." he whispers tucking his hands in his lap.
Me and Ethan sit on the bed, lowering it a little.
"Wh-where were you guys." He dully asks, lifting his head to look at us.
"I'm sorry, we had no idea." I say putting my hand on his shoulder, he flinches.
I bring my hand back confused.
"T-they h-hit me. T-they cursed at me, and they t-th-threw s-stuff at me," a tiny sob leaves his mouth, and tears slide down his face.
"T-they called me names like, fag, loser, nobody, ugly." he hiccuped.
"Then, t-this girl, put me against the window and told me to stay away from G-Gray-Grayson." he pulled down his jacket to show the bruises.
I clenched my jaw.
I know who fucking did this.
"It's okay, we will be with you at all times. We promise, right Ethan?" I test him.
"Yea, we promise. I will fucking smash their faces!" we both laugh, but James doesn't move.
He doesn't even show us a fake and forced smile.
James is gone.
