"There has to be more than that. Tell me." I persisted.

Renton sighed. "Honestly, it just gets more complicated."

"Okay, spill." I folded my hands, waiting.

He stared at the table as he began talking.

"I- I don't have- I didn't have a good childhood. My mom and dad, they were never around so my aunt took care of me. She was an evil bitch. To say the least. She thought I could get her money by passing me around to her girlfriends." Renton snuck a glance at me.

I sucked in a breath.

"Some of the women made me do their chores, others made me touch them. They were forceful and mean. I couldn't do anything. Who would I go to? I think my mom and dad knew about it the whole time but said nothing. I couldn't tell because my aunt threatened me. But I told anyway. That's when things got bad."

Thats when!?!

"My aunt convinced my parents I was delusional and that I needed help. They didn't believe me. So, I was violent. I trashed my aunts place and sent her death threats. She got the police involved and I'm on probation. Also, the restraining order."

Renton played with his fingers.

"I lied to you, Jan. I tried to kill myself. I wanted to die. Sometimes, I still do."

This was alot to take in. So many things I want to say to him.

"Can I hug you?" I asked.

Renton nodded, reaching over and pulling me into his chest.

"Rent, I'm so sorry."

It was different now. We were different. Renton didn't want my pity or my thoughts on the matter so I didn't mention it again.

He was a strong person even if he tried to... it doesn't matter. He's still here.

I was chilling with Ryder on his couch when I saw Renton walk by in only a towel,more like shuffle by with his crutch.

"Um" I turned to Ryder. He shrugged.

"What do you mean, you don't know?" I whispered.

"He uses my shower sometimes." Ryder continued to watch The Princess Diaries.

I got up and followed Renton to Ryder's room.

I stopped by the door and peeked in the crack.

He had the crutches on the bed and was standing on one foot.

"Do you need help?" I walked in.

Renton nodded. He had his clothes laid out on the bed.

"I can do it, but I don't mind you touching me." He smirked.

I rolled my eyes. "Come here."

He moved towards me and I put his shirt over his head.

I'm not even going to mention how toned he is because I shouldn't even be looking.

His eyes were focused on me as he slipped on his jeans by himself.

"Well, now that you're all set..." I started heading for the door when Renton called my name.

"Jan, I don't want you feeling sorry for me."

"I don't. Nothing has changed."

Renton smiled. "Good, because I um want to get to know you better."

"But we're friends. We know each other."

Renton sighed. "You're right. Let's go watch that movie."

I smiled and we went to join Ryder downstairs.
