BOOK 2 GUYS! HOPE YOU ENJOY <3

Ray's POV

I sat next to my husband on the couch.

"Hey beautiful." Andy smiled.

I looked up at him from the tv and smiled as well.

"Hey."

He leaned down and kissed my lips lightly.

"Is she asleep?" He asked.

I nodded.

"Just finished her story." I replied just as our son came downstairs.

"Amelia asleep?" He asked.

I nodded.

"Be quiet." I mumbled.

He nodded and put his finger to his lips, making Andy chuckle.

"Jacob?" I spoke up.

My son turned around and smiled.

"Come sit." I told him, motioning to the couch next to the one Andy and I were sat on.

He did so nervously and played with his fingers in his lap.

"D-did I do something wrong, mom?" He asked in a whisper.

"No sweety." I chuckled. "Your dad and I just want to talk."

Jacob nodded.

"Honey, you're nearly 16. Why don't you go out with friends more? I don't want you ending up like I did in highschool." My words were careful and a little quiet.

Jacob sighed.

"I'd go out... If I had any friends that didn't turn on me every time they'd get beaten when they were caught hanging out with me." He replied.

My heart stopped.

"Do they beat you?" I asked after a moment's silence.

He looked down at his hands and sighed a little.

A few seconds after that, he gave the smallest nod.

I caught my breath in my throat and felt tears pricking my eyes.

My baby...

"Jake why didn't you say anything? We could've done something." Andy stepped in.

I rested my head in my hands and let a few loose tears spill.

"Mom... Please don't cry..." Jacob mumbled, coming over to sit on the other side from Andy.

He put his hand on my back and gently rubbed in a circle.

 "I love you mom." He whispered.

I smiled a little through my tears and rubbed his forearm.

"I'm going to ask. Because i know how it feels to have you parents invade everything. So do you want me and dad to talk to the principle about this on Monday?" I asked him.

He hesitated and looked to the floor to think about it.

"Might as well..." He mumbled.

I sighed.

"Jake... I don't have to if you don't want to." I replied. "But we need to get this sorted. You can't keep going on like this..." 

"I know! I just feel like if you go to her, the beatings will get worse..." He said.

I sighed once again and nodded.

"Just tell one of us if they continue ok?" Andy's low voice joined us once again.

He rubbed my back and kissed my temple.

"Time for bed sweety." I told Jacob.

He nodded and kissed my cheek, then gave Andy a hug.

"Love you both." He smiled a small smile and trudged his way up the stairs.

"I'm so worried about him. He can't go through the same thing we did..." I told Andy, who nodded.

"I know... But there's only so much we can do." He replied and hugged my shoulders tight.

I sighed and leaned into him, drifting to sleep with the tv as peaceful background noise.
