    "Ooooh, good thinking!" Jackyln smiled, grabbing chocolate and vanilla icing. He smiled brightly, grabbing one of those little hand baskets so he wasn't dropping his stuff continuously, walking beside Alec happily. He could be in his home right now doing something more fun, but he seemed happier to be here, not because of the guy in his room, just because he wasn't home. And he loved meeting new friends, no matter how silly that sounds.

    Alec nodded "I wish more friends would tell me that" he said lightly, and made his way over to the cash register. He smiled at the cashier, thanked her and payed all quite quickly. He glanced back and decided to wait for Jacklyn to come through, glancing down at his watch. His found friend seemed to be the type to stay and chat, he wondered how long that would take.

    Jacklyn paid with a twenty, though it only costed 11 dollars, he insisted the lady keep the rest, smiling brightly. She had seemed to be in a bad mood, maybe he caught on to that. He skipped over to Alec, holding his bag happily. "lets go -" As they walked out of the store, he spotted Lika (I think was the dogs name). "Oh, hi (Gender)!" He smiled, petting the dog happily. Then, as he stood up again and his phone buzzed, he pushed his glasses up and checked his text, giving another reply. "Hey uh.. I gotta stop somewhere else. I might see you soon, oh, here." He smiled, handing Alec a small slip of paper. "Thats my phone number. Call any time." He giggled softly, putting his hands in his plush pockets.

    //you're right, and it's a she


    Alec nodded him letting the lady keep the twenty. Smiling a little he followed him out to Lika. The dog jumped up in the air as soon as she saw they. She licked Jacklyn's hand and ran over to Alec and nozed the bag he had. "Later" he told her and glanced up at Jacklyn. He frowned a little, afraid that he was going back to the other baring boyfriend. "Uh, thanks" he said taking the slip of paper, "call me if you need too"

    "Kay~!" Jackyln smiled, before jogging ahead of the two, back to his coffee shop then to his room.

    I had extra muse. xD You dont have to read it, it might be triggering. xD

    //no it's okay, thanks for warning me though!


    Alec stopped at the pet shop and for dog food. He lugged his bags back into the apartment building Lika trotting right behind. Stepping out of the elevator on to his floor, he glanced up when Lika started whining. The dog scurried out into the hall way and to door number nine. "Lika don't bother the neighbors" he hissed, "come on or you won't get any peanut butter"

    Around the same moment, someone banged on the wall in room nine, there were muffled voices, well, a voice. The other was quiet for a moment, someone crying probably. Someone kicked the wall, someone fell over before a familiar voice shouted, "G-get the hell away from me!" In a shaky voice. Then, the door to room 9 opened and the blonde stormed out, fists clenched, leaving the door open. Inside, furniture was knocked over, there was a bit of blood, the couch was knocked over and a vase was broken near the door. And inside the sitting area was the pinkette, bleeding from his cheek, holding his mouth, crying, shaking violently.

    Lika ran between the blondes legs into the apartment and rushed to Jacklyn's side. She whined jumping up and starting to lick and paw at him. Alec quickly moved out of the way of the blonde as he stormed out. Dropping his groceries he went after Lika, hoping this that was excuse enough to go see if Jacklyn was okay. "Jacklyn?" He asked stepping into the room glancing around at the disheveled furniture.

    As blood dripped down his cheek, Jacklyn looked at the dog and tried to smile, but ended up coughing. "O-oh hey Alec!" He called, whiping his eyes weakly and trying to get up, stumbling a bit, his knees still violently shaking. He smiled and pat Lika's head, taking a deep breath and leaning on the wall. "Got your doggie" He said, trying to lighten the mood by smiling.

    Alec nodded "thanks, but I think you need to sit down" he said gently guiding Jacklyn back to the couch. "Can you tell me what happened?" He asked, he tried to give him a comforting smile. Lika stuck near Jacklyn, and kept eyeing the door. "Do you want some water?" He asked, he first needed to calm Jacklyn down.

    Jacklyn flinched, pulling his knees to his chest quietly. He was trying to think of an excuse, "Uh.. we were fighting and Derek got mad so he shoved me...?" he said, obviously lying. "N-no i'm fine.." He sighed. "I got home and was making coffee, whatever, then Derek got mad at me for nothing like usual... He shoved me around then I fell into the vase and it sliced my face... I-I'm fine though..!" He said weakly with a wary smile, that was the very sugar-coated version of what had happened. He was lucky nothing more happened.

    Alec shook his head "Jaclyn, Derek did hurt you right? He struck at you? Grabbed you?" He said trying to make things as clear and concise as possible. He knows he will try to defend Derek and rationalize the situation. "Jacklyn this isn't the first time he's done this isn't it" he said, he wonders if there's another reason they moved.

    Jacky sighed. "Am I really that bad of a liar?" He said with a wary smile, sliding down his jacket, leaving him in a tanktop. Countless scars, new and old form varying objects. Fists, nails, he even had rope burns on his wrists. "He isn't very fun when hes mad..." He said with a weak laugh, before taking a deep breath inward and leaning back on the sofa. On the innards of his wrist were the only injuries that werent from Derek, because they were self-harm cuts.


    //Sorry if triggering. xD

    Alec reached over and gently hugged him. "More or less, I've seen this before" he said, "but you need to realize that this isn't good, you can't sugar coat this forever". He glanced around the room, looking at the destroyed lamb and shoved furniture. "Do you want to come over to my apartment, I can get you a drink, maybe something to eat" he suggested, just wanting to get Jacklyn into a new environment.

    Alec nodded "can you walk there?" He asked standing up. Lika got the intention of them moving. She jumped off the couch and scurried to the door. He put Jacklyn's arm over his shoulder, and started to help him up.


    //it's okay, get some sleep if you can

    Jacklyn smiled, pulling his arm away warily. "I-its fine." He said, getting up and stumbling slightly, but managing nonetheless. "Thanks by the way-" He reached down and scratched behind Lika's ear, smiling. "Its okay now" He giggled softly, looking back at Alec before coughing softly again.


    //Its fine, I'm running around today xD

    Alec lead them to his apartment, quickly unlocking and opening the door. "Here" he said shoving his papers aside and sat Jacklyn on the couch. He closed the door behind him and rushed to the kitchen to get a glass of water. "Do you want to file a police report?" He asked "it maybe good to keep record of these incidents"

    "N-no!" Jacklyn said as Alec asked about the police, holding his cheek quietly and laughing weakly. "I-it's fine, honestly..." He said quietly, grabbing a pillow off the sofa and hugging it tightly, his eyes roaming the room before he pet Lika again, chuckling quietly. "L-lika is a real sweetheart." He giggled quietly, trying to cover his obvious emotion of fear as he was trembling, with something happy.

    Alec nodded, he knew that would be the response. "Okay" he said walking back and handing him the glass of water. He sat down next to him, "do you want to tell me what happened?" He asked
