Nice reviews only! :)

Putzie Jacobs was sitting in his room on his bed hugging his legs to his chest and crying because his dad was yelling at his mom and beating her. His father would beat him too, his best friends or Jan don't even know anything about the abuse. Just then he jumped when he heard a knock on his window and he saw Danny at his window. So he got up and walks over to his window and opens it.

"Danny, I'm so glad you're here." Putzie said sniffing.

"Putzie, your eye." Danny said crawling in his bedroom and grabbing Putzie's face taking a good look at Putzie's black eye. "Did ya father do this to you?"

Putzie cried again and Danny pulls him for a hug.

"My father." Putzie choked.

Danny felt his anger boiled up inside of him.

"I'm gonna kill him." Danny mutters.

Just then Putzie flinched when they were heard Putzie's mom screamed and Putzie started to cry and Danny hugs him tight.

"Where are you boy?" Putzie's father screamed.

"Go to my house now." Danny orders him. "Now."

"But Danny..." Putzie started.

"It's gonna be ok Putzie, I'll protect ya no matter what." Danny tells him.

Then Putzie quickly climbs over the window and went down running to Danny's house hoping Danny will be ok. A little while Putzie was in Danny's room curled up in a ball shaking in fear until he heard the door opens and he turns to see Danny.

"Hey buddy, I got something to tell you." Danny sat down as Putzie sat up.

"How's my mother? Is she ok?" Putzie asked him.

Danny looks down and let out a painful sigh and back up at his youngest friend.

"Putzie...you're mom...she's um...she's dead." Danny told him.

"My mommy!" Putzie shouted.

Danny puts his arm around him.

"I'm real sorry Putzie, when I found ya mother in the guest room...I saw her lying on the floor and she wasn't breathing." Danny said. "I wish I could've done something pal, I really wish I saved her in time...but I called 911 and the cop took ya father in jail."

"I'm going to be alone." Putzie said as he cried.

"No you're not, I told my folks and they're gonna adopt you." Danny said.

"Really?" Putzie asked.

"Yes." Danny said nodding his head.

"Thank you Danny." Putzie said wiping his tears.

"Hey, I just want ya to know that um..." Danny started. "That I'll protect you know matter what, it's my job to protect ya."

Putzie started to cry as they stood up.

"Come here." Danny said pulling him for a tight hug and Putzie hugged him back as he cried hard. "It's ok buddy."

He rubs his back.

"Please don't leave me." Putzie cried.

"I won't ever do that to ya pal." Danny said.

Danny felt super bad for his best friend. He is so glad that he saved Putzie from his father, but he felt so bad for not saving his mom in time.
