My name is Jasper.
I grew up in a very small house, it was a cottage. It may seem
Cozy for a home, but no, it was hell. My Step-dad was abusive to my mom and to me. He would beat us if we didn't listen to him, or if we did something wrong. My mom was filled with sweetness, she would do anything to make me happy, to put a smile to my face.It hurt to watch my mom get beat.My original dad died so I bet your wondering how my original parents met well here's the story.

Thornton's Society Collage*
Mom's POV*
I was writing down my notes on paper, yeah most kids here hate being in class but they don't know how helpful it will be in the future. I really wanted to study science and go to NASA to study planets. I enjoyed life and nature, if I ever get kids I will do them life and beautiful it is. "Mrs. Lola" my teacher said "yeah?" "Your dozing off" he smiled sympathetically. "Oh sorry" I said, he continued talking.
Later that day*
I was walking to my car all of a sudden a boy called out my name, "hey" I "hello?, can I help you with something?" I asked curiously "yeah, my car is kinda broke down" he said "I, uh need your help" he smiled curiously as he was scratching his head " yeah I could help you" I said "oh thank you" the boy said, he looked about his mid twenties, maybe younger then me. I had helped him with his car " what happened?" I asked " well I was driving here in a rush and I guess I ran over a needle or I don't know, glass? But I guess I just ruined my tire plus I'm out of gas, so thank you for helping me" he said "your welcome" I smiled, I gave him my number if ever needed help with anything else and left.
Dad's POV*
Man she was pretty I thought, but then I sighed as I got home. "Shut the hell up and make the god damn food" I heard my dad say. I was scared. "Hi
Honey" my mom kissed me and left the house to go too work. Everyone made fun of me for having a mom as a sexy bar tender. It sucked for me. "Son, will you be nice enough and go finish the food your stupid mom couldn't finish" he said aggressively "yeah" I said. My parents barely focused on me when I was younger, so I never knew how it felt to be loved. It hurt so bad, it felt like something was missing in my life. I gave my dad his food, and left the kitchen. I always wondered how it felt to have a family that actually cared for you. Then I decided to text the girl
Me: Hey
Her: hey?whats up
Me: Nothing I just wanted to know if you wanna hang out?
Her: oh uh
Her: sure why not
Me: Meet me at Sams Coffee Shop
Her:ok
I closed my eyes and sighed dreamily.
Sams Coffee Shop*
"Oh hey, I never got your name?" She said "oh it's Jacob" I said with a smile " what's yours?"I asked " Lola" she said " nice name you have" she had long wavy brown hair with chestnut colored eyes wit little hints of yellow, her skin was light and peachy, she wore glossy lipstick. She was cherry.
Mom's POV*
He had jet black hair, he also had a mullet. His eyes were dark grey with dark purple. He had unique eyes. He wore a black jeans with a dark gray sweater and a black shirt. He was pretty emo for his age. "I know what you're thinking" he said " yeah I get that a lot, and no I'm not emo" he chuckled. His laugh, it was weak. It even sounded like it hurt. It hurt. "Sorry , if I called you here, I just needed to get away from home" he said as his smile faded away " what's wrong" I asked, he looked at me " family problems" he said with a low growl. I grabbed his hand without thinking and said " im sorry" I quickly removed my hand. He looked at me confused but looked away, awkward silence. I felt uncomfortable. He then stood up and said bye and left. What's wrong with him? I thought. I then left to go home.
Dad's POV*
Why did I leave her like that? All I did was grab her hand. I fell to my bed and closed my eyes. I'm the worst guy she could possibly every meet. I sighed and covered myself up with the covers and went to sleep.
I woke up the next day to my phone buzzing, I grabbed it.
Mail: Hello Mr.Cendall
You have been accepted to TCF bank
Date: October 29, 1998
I GOT ACCEPTED TO MY COLLAGE, I jumped off my bed and started to fist pump into the air and said yes. "SHUT THE HELL UP" my dad said across the room. I scolded to the sound of his voice. I got dressed up to go to work. And left the house.
A few long hours later*
FINALLY, work over. Finally over. It was interesting to working at a bank though , very very interesting,Yet so boring. As I was driving home from work, I was thinking about Lola, how I felt bad that I just left her like that.
Mom's POV*
"Bye Mr.Lopez" I said to my teacher, he was one of my many favorite teachers. I was walking to my car as I heard my flip phone ring. I answered it to a familiar voice, Jacob. Why Jacob.
I sighed and answered the call "hey" I said "sup" he said " what's up?" "I just wanted to apologize for leaving you like that yesterday, I guess when you touched my hand I flipped...I'm not used to people touching me like that"he said " oh, I'm sorry, I-I didn't know" I said "it's fine, just try not to do it again?" "Ok" I said "bye"he said "bye" i said then I hung up. I didn't know he...why did I feel my heart beating fast. I brushed it off and started to drive off. I bit my lip.
Dad's POV*
He was on the bed sleeping...well trying to sleep. He felt better apologizing to her, it just felt wrong. But at the same time he liked it. "SON WHY ARE YOU JUST LYING DOWN LIKE THAT GET TF UP, AND COOK ME FOOD" I scolded at him and he wacked me to the ground "don't you ever look at me like that" I fucking hate my life
