You guys are awesome =D

He sat in the passenger seat of the car while Pam drove him to the house he would be living in.

'Jack, please trust me. You will love it here'

Yeah, just like I loved all the others.

The familiar routine of pulling up outside, grabbing all the things he owned in one bag, making the daunting walk up to the front door and entering the house that you knew wouldn't last.

A man answered the door, bigger than Bobby and with significantly darker skin. He wore baggy jeans and a large striped shirt that exaggerated his, already, broad shoulders. Jack shuffled back a little

and looked to the floor. He reckoned the man was a couple of years older than him and most defiantly able to win in a fight.

'Hello Angel'

'Yo, come on in. Mums in the living room'

He stood aside and Pam strode past him and to the left. Jack shuffled in after her, looking back at Angel while he shut the door. Evelyns small, round face brightened as she heard Angel get the door.

She stood up to welcome them in.

'Hello you two'

Bobby was watching an ice hockey match in the corner of the room and merely waved at their arrival.

'Bobby, be polite'

He sighed loudly and turned it off via the remote, stood up and greeted them monotonously.

'Hello, welcome'

Shit, who was this woman if she could boss around that guy.

'Can I get either of you a tea?'

'Oh, I actually have to go soon, I just wanted to walk Jack in and say hey. Also, I need to have a quick private word with you'

'Oh, of course. Kitchen?'

The two women sauntered out of the room leaving Jack standing in between the two large men. He shuffled uncomfortably and looked to Bobby, who had now turned the game back on, before glancing

back at Angel; who gave a large grin when he noticed Jack looking at him.

No one moved until Pam came through from the kitchen.

Angel went to sit down on the sofa opposite Bobby's armchair as Pam guided Jack toward the door.

'Ok, this is it. Hopefully I won't have to see you again.'

She giggled and then felt increasingly guilty as she looked up into his blue eyes, the eyes that always begged her not to go.

'I just told Evelyn that you haven't eaten yet and you probably should.'

Jack shrugged and looked down at the floor. Things always went bad when she left.

'Jack, I promise you this one will work. Evelyn would never do anything to hurt you.'

He scoffed and moved his gaze back to Pams eyes.

'Goodbye'

She lifted her arm, perhaps to hug him, but he stood motionless so instead she simply patted his arm and walked out of the door.

Jack watched her leave. He sighed and shut the door.

Let the nightmare commence.

He pushed his body from the door with his knuckles, his hand instinctively shot to his abdomen when he felt the familiar sting radiate from his wound. He spun around and jumped when he saw Evelyn

standing at the door of the kitchen.

The two looked at one another for a while. Jack found it hard to pin her emotion, it was something unfamiliar to him. Her eyes seemed tranquil and her mouth was slightly upturned in a small smile. Her

skin, encrusted with wisdom, seemed to radiate a light that outlined her stout shape. Her soft voice shook him from his trance and he realised he was staring directly at her. His eyes went wide and

terrified.

Shit, now he was gunna pay.

'Would you like to see your room now?'

Bobby could see the terror in the kids face through the living room door. He just stood there, his arm around his stomach, his jaw clenched and his nostrils flaring to provide enough oxygen for his racing

heart. Jack finally managed to nod his head. Bobby saw how his eyes squinted shut when Evelyn walked past him. Saw the confusion on the boys face when she merely waved him to follow and he

watched Jack doubt the situation before following her up the stairs. 'Jesus, how could anyone think ma would hit them? She's the sweetest woman in the world.'

Evelyn walked straight at the top of the stairs toward the blue room. She stood by the door frame and gestured for Jack to enter. He stepped past her and stood in the middle of the room.

'This is all for me?'

Evelyn nodded,

'Oh, I thought you would like Jerramiah's old guitar, you seemed to have some rhythm about you and Jerry never played it.'

Jack was speechless, never before had he been given anything like this.

She was either super sadistic and was planning to take it all away, or she was a genuinely nice person.

'Oh, how foolish of me; you haven't the faintest idea who these people are. Bobby is the one who came to the hospital; he is down for a while to help me with you. Angel is the one who got the door he

is my youngest, he will be gone next year. Jeremiah is moved in with his girlfriend, he's meant to be over tomorrow to meet you.'

Shit, three guys. I don't stand a fucking chance.

'Well, I will let you settle in. You will have to have something to eat before you take your painkillers, I will go and make some dinner.'

She disappeared from the doorframe and Jack did another turn in the middle of the room, he was about to go and pick up the guitar when a voice at the door made him jump,

'Your not allergic to anything are you?'

Jack shook his head he watched the space that Evelyn had occupied for a while before turning his attention back to the guitar. It was a beautiful Stratocaster, the brown in the centre gradating to a

deep black around the body.

Awesome.

Jack was about to pick it up when he remembered his place. He reclined his hand, crept over to shut the door and returned to the instrument. He sat on the bed and tried strumming it a couple of times,

it was electric so it was already very quiet without the amp, yet Jack still plucked it as gently as he could. He moved his left hand on the fret board until he found a finger pattern that sounded good.

Well on my way to being a star.

He grinned and continued to fiddle around.

So there is actually a guitar in Jacks room on the shelf behind his bed, i figured that it would probably be his old one, seeing as he plays a different one in the film. I looked it up and Stratocaster is a type of electric guitar and it is the one on his shelf. (thats right, I do research =P). I thought you should know because, to me, it doesn't sound like a real guitar.

Anyway, hope ya'll liked it. reviews are appreciated! =D
