Chapter 7
Jack finally gets home. He walks in the door and finds his brother and his mom on the couch laughing and talking; he ignores them and goes to his room. He walks into his room and shuts the door. He lies on his bed, puts in his earphones, and starts to blast his favorite song by Scarygirl called We Fix These Scars. He dozes off for an hour and wakes up to his mom screaming at him to wake up "JACK SKELLINGTON WAKE THE HELL UP DINNER IS READY!" Jack groans and takes his earphones out, "What's that? I can't hear you over my Satan music" Jack's mother glares at him and walks out of his room obviously pissed off. Jack laughs to himself and goes downstairs. What he sees makes his boil. A man sitting at the table, not just any man, his father. Jack stands there, fists clenched. "Jack! Long time no see!" Jacks father walks up to Jack and hugs him. Jack pushes him away. "11 YEARS AND NO CALL?! NO TEXT?! NO ANYTHING?! AND YOU THINK I'M GOING TO LET YOU TOUCH ME?!" he looks at his mom, "I lost my appetiteā¦" and storms to his room. He can hear his father coming after him and ignores him. He slams his door closed and locks it, runs to his bed and cries. Jack never cries but at this moment he had every reason to.
