Chapter 9

The class went by fast with Bobby sitting beside me scared to even look up. Soon school was over and I walked him to his car.

"I'll see you at four".

"O-okay". he said not looking at me.

I open the car door for him and he got in and lock it immediately. I backed away from the car and he drove out of school, i walk to my car and saw West waiting for me.

"Hey dude, you staying for practice?"he ask.

"No I have something to do".

"Well okay, call you later then."

"Okay". he walked away and I got in my car and drove out of school.

I went inside my house and went upstairs to shower . After I was finish I went downstairs and saw my mom and grandma.

"Hey guys I'm going out".

"Ok baby be good". my mom said.

"Bye sweet heart".

I left the house and drove down the street. I arrives at Bobby's house and got out of the car. I went to the door and rang the door bell.

"Go away or I'm calling the cops!". bobby's shaky voice yelled from the other side.

"Bobby its me Ashton". I said.

I heard the door unlock and he opened it. He smile weakly and step aside. I walked in and he close the door.

"Hey Bobby".

"Hi, want to watch TV?". He ask and I nod.

He walked up to the tv.

"Sit". he pointed to his bed.

I sat down and he came and sat down, far as possible from me. I sighed.

"Bobby, why are you afraid?". I ask after a few minutes.

"Nothing".

"Its something, I told you, you can trust me I won't hurt you".

"And I said nothing".

I thought about it for a while, he like a suicidal movie. He doesn't like to be touch, he never go out and he live with his parents.

"Bobby where are you parents?". i ask.

He was silent, he was looking down and his hand but I can his eyes began to water quickly and before I knew it he was curled up in a ball crying his eyes out. What did I just do. I went over and hold him.

"Bobby I'm sorry, I'm so sorry". I held him closer and rocked him. He sob uncontrollably, after a few minutes he calm down and moved out of my hold.

"Don't a-ask anything about t-them please".

I nod and he turn back to the TV as if nothing happened.

We went downstairs later and ate some snacks. I wanted to know what happened to his parents but I didn't want to ask, I wanted him to tell me when he's ready and I hope that will be soon.

"Bobby you know you don't have to be afraid". I said. he looked down.

"Yea I do, people are dangerous". he said.

"want me to pick you up tomorrow?". He looked at me.

"Why would you do that?". he ask.

"Because I want to, plus I can keep and eye on you". I shrug.

"O-okay".
