**Benji**

The end off day bell rung in our ears and everyone started to head home. I grabbed my bag and Jorges hand and we walked out the door together.

My dad wanted to see me tonight. He rang me up and told me he had no clue what happened and they let him out of jail the day after. I wanted Jorge to come but I knew that wouldn't end well so he's staying home.

He stepped on the bus and sat at the back. A girl and a boy came up to us.

"Hey these seats sent taken are they?" The girl said. She had short brown hair and long eyelashes with a light layer of blush on he nose and cheeks just like Jorge does.

"Oh, no you can sit"

She smiled and took the boys hand. I've seen him around campus before. Cayman? I think?

"The names addy. And this is my boyfriend Cayman."

"Hi" Jorge perked up from behind me.

I smiled at how adorable he is. We all talked the whole way to our stop and then we had to get off. We both waved at them and walked off the bus.

We thanked the driver and strolled on the damp pavement. The sun had gone behind a cloud and the sky was getting darker. I had to meet my dad at his apartment at 5, so I had a bit more time with Jorge before I had to go.

We walked to our dorm and Jorge unlocked it. I strolled inside and he ran in and jumped on the bed.

We just sat and cuddled for a bit until I had to go.

"When are you coming back? I don't want you staying there for to long, he scary!" He whined.

"No offence"

I giggled at that last line and kissed his cheek. "I'll be back as soon as I can bubba"

He sulked and threw himself under the covers of the bed.

I laughed at his childish gestures and slipped on my shoes. I put Jorges phone on charge just in case he needed to ring me, and I took the covers off him. He pouted at me and I jumped on top of him so he was under my body.

"Kiss me"

"No" he replied.

"Kiss me. Pleaseee" I pouted back at him.

"Ugh disgusting" he laughed and he brought his face up to mine. I kissed him slowly and he wrapped his hands around the back of my head to deepen the kiss.

I pulled away and he whined. I switched on the TV and propped him up on the headboard with Two pillows behind him. I kissed him once more and headed for the door.

"Benjamin?"

I turned my head to look at him.

"Be careful and ring me please."

I laughed and nodded my head. He smiled his adorable little smile which warmed my heart and turned his head back to the TV.

I made my way outside and breathed out a warm breath which formed small clouds in the air in the Amsterdam evening.

The cold air stung my cheeks and my hands made there way to my pockets.

I started walking down the cold streets until I made my way to my dads apartment. He was on the 4th floor so i had to climb the steps of the massive tower blocks.

I made my way to my dads floor and knocked on the door. There was no answer so I tried to open it. It was un-locked so I walked in to find my dad asleep on the couch. The pungent smell of cigarettes and cheap vodka lingered in the air.

I cleared my throat and he woke instantly. He stared at me for a couple seconds before saying anything.

"Oh uhh, hey Benjamin."

I grimaced. Only Jorge could call me Benjamin. No one else.

"Hi dad. Uh...why did you invite me here again?"

"I just wanted to see how you were settling in"

I  slowly nodded my head. I didn't believe him though.

"Not to be rude or anything, but how long will this take? I have, uhh, homework."

I obviously had no homework. I just wanted to get out of here.

"5 minutes. Who is umm, your dorm mate?"

He looked suspicious. If he really didn't remember about Jorge, he wouldn't of asked so I sighed in relief.

"Oh, uhh, it's a girl called...ummm."

"Called What son?" He looked really suspicious.

"Oh sorry I just zoned out I guess." I had to think of a name quickly. "Called Jess."

My dads face softened. I sighed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, that's good."

"Yeah, shes... really nice"

Phew, he seemed to believe me. He smiled and asked me a couple questions about her. It was hard to think of the answers, but I managed to do it without him getting suspicious about it, but I really wanted to get home to Jorge.

"Yeah, umm. I have to get back if that's ok"

"Of course son"

I shut my eyes. I hated that word. The thought Me being his son made me grimace.

My phone started vibrating in my pocket. I knew it was jorge but I couldn't answer until I got out of the apartment block or my dad would get suspicious. I turned around to pretend to grab my scarf from the hook but I ended the call instead.

I sighed and closed my eyes. I just needed to get out of here. I quickly got my scarf on and slipped my hood up.

"I'll see ya later dad"

Luckily it came out smoothly.

My phone stared vibrating again and I squeezed my eyes shut.

I ended the call again and said bye once more before He grabbed a bottle of beer from the counter and said bye back to me.

I walked out the door and as soon as it shut I ran down the stairs faster than I'd ever ran before.

I got to the bottom and got my phone out to ring Jorge. I tried to turn it on but I had ran out.

I panicked and I started to run home. I saw saw a little figure in the middle of the icy streets with no coat on. I heard faint sobs coming from him and I squinted my eyes to see a freezing Jorge in the middle of the streets crying.

I ran to him and wrapped my arms around his small frozen body. He sobbed into my chest and I pulled away quickley to take of my coat. I wrapped it around his body. And took off my scarf to wrap around his neck.

He was shaking and sobbing and he looked frozen. His lips were a lot darker, probably from the cold and his skin was pale and freezing. I picked him up and held him in my arms before I started to quickly walk home.

When we got back to our dorm he was still sobbing. I put him down on the bed and wrapped him up in the covers. I ran into the bathroom and turned on the bath.

Once it was full I brought him into the bathroom and held him in my arms.
