I'm surprised, I managed to sleep through the whole day... Who knows what Mike heard me scream... I don't want to tell him the nightmare, it was too much, even for me... The memory haunted me.

I was cut off when Mike quit hugging me, he gestured for me to sit in my office chair, and I gave him a nod, sitting in the chair. "m-Mike...." I said quietly, soon looking away as Mike sat in a chair he pulled up for himself. "Yeah, Jeremy?" He said, I started feeling scared to ask, it was a stupid question anyways. "I... Don't want to go home after my shift is over.." I say, leaving out the question, Mike tilts his head to the side. "Jeremy, I know your probably spooked by a nightmare. But you have to go hom-" I cut Mike off "I CANT GO HOME!!!" I covered my mouth quickly, Mike widened his eyes, I did something wrong. I soon covered my face.
"Jeremy... Why?" He said, I uncover my mouth slowly. "I don't want to get hurt..." Mike looks at me with concern as I spoke. "Get hurt? jeremy is there something your not telling me?" Mike asked. I nod, looking down at my arms. "M-Mike.. I have to show you.. Something." I said.

I tilted my head. "Go ahead.." I said, I watched jeremy roll up his sleeves... Slices.. Cuts.. Bruises all up his arms... "Jeremy WHAT?! WHY?!" I rose my voice, it must of scared jeremy. He flinched and rolled his sleeves down, covering his face. "My dad.... I just couldn't take it.... He has been getting drunk more often.." Jeremy said.

I nod. "You can stay at my place for a while.... I don't want to see anymore cuts or bruises on your arms... I... I just want you safe... Your a really cool person" I spoke, jeremy wipes his eyes And nods.
