Prologue

"Now, Mister Jones, tell us one more time what you saw." Said the overweight police officer.

"I already told once, why do I have to tell you again?" I asked tiredly. Tom and I did not want to repeat the story all over again. I was getting too depressed to even think about it.

"Imagine what it is like for him." Tom agreed. That thought gave us strength. We could tell this story over and over until they had it memorized if we had to, we could do it for him.

"Just one more time for the record Mr. Jones, Mr. Fletcher, Mr. Judd." The man said.

I nodded and started the story.

"I was in my room doing homework by my window when I heard a loud bang. Tom and Harry were hanging out and doing home work with me. I ignored the bang as Tom looked out the window, where we heard the bang from across the street at my friend's house. Tom grabbed my arm and dragged me to the window to look out it. I looked at one of the windows and I could see someone's back pressed onto the window, or at least half of the back the rest was pressed up to the wall." I explained.

Tom took over next. "At first I couldn't tell who it was but then I recognized the person as my friend Dougie. I didn't know what was going on and I didn't know where his sister, Jazzie, was, I kept watching and I saw Dougie slide down the wall and he didn't get back up. Then I saw their father, Gary, walk up to him. At first I thought he was going to help Dougie up because he bent down, but when he came back up he was holding Dougie by his collar. I was wondering why Dougie wasn't fighting back but I didn't have time to think about that since Gary threw Dougie across the room."

Harry took a deep breath and continued with the story too. "That is when we ran downstairs and told my dad, who called the police. When the police got there they surrounded the house and after a few tries of getting Gary to come out they busted down the door. We snuck in with them. They all looked throughout the house, and found them in the basement. What I saw I would never forget; Dougie was on the ground hunched over holding his stomach and surrounded by his own blood, Jazzie was laying on the ground, holding her head. They had bruises, cuts and wounds all over them."

"We later found out that Gary had given them a sever drug over dose." Tom concluded and I nodded in agreement, still reeling from the news.

"But he must have been acting weird while he was at school" the overweight officer said.

"He did, but we thought that he was just being stressed out, but, yes, we did think that there was something wrong with him because they always flinched when we went to give him a high-five" I said.

"Was he ever angry or overprotective or something?" the officer continued.

"Dougie, he was really secluded and hated to be alone with us, and when he was, he would always try to find a way to leave. But the only time we became alarmed was when he kept making excuses or why he was always in pain or why he had bruises" Tom sighed, sinking lower in his chair.

I didn't blame him, we've been questioned ever since we went into the Poynter's home, and we were really tired. I just wanted to go home, knowing my friends were ok, and go to sleep.

"All right, I have one more question to ask" the officer said.

"What is it?" I snapped irritably. Harry kicked me in my shin, silencing me.

"Explain everything from the beginning, like, when he started to act weird" the officer replied.

I sighed again; it was going to be a long night…

A/N: So, that's the prologue. What did you guys think, I wanted to start with a 'bang', and I thought that this was it. But I also want to know if you think that I should put my OCs in this, or just two of them, or none of them. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy this fic.
