((Lol. Cl*censored*ic.)) Kris pulled her legs into her seat, resting her hands on her knees. She jumped when her phone vibrated. She was glad her ring tone wasn't on and she peered at the text. Oh crap! she thought, looking at the time. She turned to Jared, "Uhm, I have to go, " she said. She was slowly slipping out of her seat.

"Why?" Jared asked, utterly confused, did I do something wrong? he thought he checked the smell of his breath, nope not that it's minty fresh. Then what was it?

"Work, actually. I forgot I had to go in today, and, yeah. You get the picture..." she said, standing up.

"Oh." he said, watching her leave. He just sat there in total darkness, not knowing what to do now. He got up from his seat and threw away the food and drink. He got out of there as fast as he could, not wanting to think what father will do to him when he found out.

Kris tore down the road, trying to get there before her father found out she was late. She waited impatiently for the stick person to appear on the cross walk light. She jumped up and down waiting, thinking Crap, crap crap!

His father came back from the store and asked if he scamed someone yet. "Yea." Jared replied. His father then asked where the money was and which Jared replied,"I spent it. You see there was this girl. . ." Todd wouldn't let him finnish and grabbed Jared by the shoulders and shook him until Jared thought his head was going to fall off. "Are you out of your mind?!" Todd asked raising his voice. "You know what I said about spending money!" People were starting to stare now but his father didn't seem to notice. "And now you'll pay. . ." Todd puched Jared as hard as he could in the eye, then stormed off. Jared held his bad eye with hand and his eyes teared up. His eye started to swell but Jared didn't seem to notice, all he knew was that he had to get away from the people looking at him now, eyes full of concern. He rushed off in the opposite direction and when he thought no one saw him he climbed up an oak tree. He examined his eye with his fingertips, flinching whenever he touched it.

Kris, in her haste, actually observed something. The movement caught the corner of her eye, and she saw someone on a tree. She decided that she'd be okay if she was late once. She jogged up to the tree. Upon closer inspection, she saw that it was Jared. She climbed up silently, coming up next to him. "Are you alright?" she asked, looking at his eye.

"I'm fine." Jared replied, looking away. He didn't want to look her in the eyes. The tears were starting to stop but he couldn't help but want comfort. All his life he had to suck it up and be a man, for once he just wanted to be comforted and be told everything is going to be alright, even when he knew it would not.

Kris sighed, climbing next to him. "I think I have a cold compress in this ratty old thing," she said, pulling out her bag. She searched, pulling all of this senseless junk out of the way. "Ah ha! Here we are," she said, handing it to him. Wow, I didn't know I had that in there! And seriously, how long do those things stay frozen? she thought, putting her bag away.

Jared took it but didn't use it. He didn't know what to do, he is so confused, he knows what being a conman can do to a person, Todd is a perfect example, but he had no choice. Unless he wants to die he has to do what his father says, not exagerating either, his father once took a knife to his throat and threatened him. Jared still has a scar on the back of his neck from that knife, he tried to run away but the knife sliced the back of his throat.

Kris sighed, what was she doing wrong? In her entire life no one had liked her. Not even her father, for whom she had to work. Now she had met someone who liked her for who she was. Was she going about it wrong? What was she doing?

Jared went over to Kris and hugged her, tears rolling down his cheaks. The tears burned his bad eye but it felt good to let it all out. All of the years Jared was threatened and beatened by his father he suddenly remembered now and all the harsh words filled his head.

Kris hugged him, rocking him gently. "It'll be alright," she said softly. For once, her mind was there and now. Not trying to think of a song, not thinking of the past, just there. She liked that.

Jared's tears suddenly dried up, like there were no more tears that he could cry, no more water in his body to waste on crying. He unwrapped his arms around her and with read eyes said,"Thanks for being there for me, no one else ever did that for me."

"You're welcome," she said, not letting on that no one does that for her either. She looked at the sky, it looked beautiful from this far above the ground. It always did.

"I thought you had to go to work." Jared said looking in her eyes, trying to see what she was hiding, if she was hiding anything.

"Well, I've never been late a day in my life. I think I deserve a little lee way today," she said, thinking of what her father would do to her later. She shook the thought from her head, not wanting to think of unpleasant things.
