Jack Pov

I was laying down on my bed staring at the ceiling and the sun is almost rising but I had a confession to make, Okay call me crazy, psycho or mental but I'm not lying when I say that I wanted to kiss Kim again I know the things that are happening to me, I think I'm going to close to her that there might be a connection between me and her but it doesn't make sense just last week we were arguing on how who was going to take care of Ben but now almost kissing again.

I had to think straight I have to stop thinking about Kim- Oh great I just called her Kim again instead of Crawford what the hell is going on with me. I know what going on you're in love Okay I know i'm crazy for wanting to kiss her but love? I can't even be in the same room with her... sometimes Sometime so most of the time do you want to be in the same room with her now you are wrong I do not and I repeat do not want to be in the same room with her But you can admit that there could be a connection between you two?

I- I mean there could be a connection somewhere between us, I could feel it and I think she could to So you are saying you have a crush on her No I do not have a crush on her and are we really back to third grade again with school crushes. Thats okay it would probably never worked out anyway Why? Oh someone worried he missed his chance but that only because I know something you don't. What? Now that mister is something you will find on your own.

I rolled my eyes on how stupid my brains haves been becoming I turned my head to the window to see the sun rose but still dark so I sat up to check my phone 6:50 it said and I smirked at least it was Saturday then I let the darkness go through me and the sleepless me go into something I haven't had in a while since Kim and Ben came into the house a dream.

Ring... Ring... Ring I let out an annoyance sign when I heard my phone ring while I was trying to sleep and by the way that was no help either, I got up and picked up my phone and it read that I had 2 missed calls but that didn't worry me its that its 9:12 in the morning and someone is calling me Then it called again so this time I picked up.

''Hello'' I said when I read the number of the phone calling and it was hospital that I went to a couple of weeks later a ago right away I recognize the doctor's voice that was talking to me in the room .

''Oh Hello haven't spoken to you in a while glad you picked up'' He said over the phone while I rolled my eyes how could he wake me up this early something must not be right if he had to wake me up this early or he just wanted to bother me.

'' Why are you exactly calling I was asleep when you called me'' I yawned but making sure I had annoyance in my voice I pulled the blanket it off since it was getting hot and leaned up to the cardboard putting my arm behind my neck in a comfortable position.

''Im sorry to intrude your sleep but I haven't seen you over a 2 months and before you even left youdidn't answer my question about the radiation therapy and surgery so what do you think about it'' I remained silent on the phone did I want to do the surgery or anything like that I stilldidn't care what was going to happen anyways.

''I don't think so Doc i'm just not going to do it'' I said with confidence I knew my answer was stupid that my life will matter if I don't or do want to do the surgery but I had to act tough and not show any weakness I couldn't.

''Not going to do it, Not going to do it you don't understand the consequences if you don't do this it is all a serious manner'' He yelled into the phone his voice risen and I was surprised over his voice did he really care that much about it no one could care about me not my mom or dad.

''Oh yeah how serious could it be'' I heard him sigh over the phone I acted dumb just to prove a point I knew all the consequences it either you could die in the surgery or you die without it simple as that I wasn't stupid or dumb about it.

'' ... Jack if you don't do this then the cancer will spread and it could make your life end'' He softened his voice at the last part but nothing he said convinced me that I still want to go on with it if I was going to die it was for a reason right.

'' I have heard this about this before and to be honest with you I don't really care whatever happens to me is for a reason right'' I explained to him this time hearing him sign I knew he was shaking his head thinking that I was like a depressed patient but I wasn't I was Jack Brewer.

'' you don't understand how important this is you have to trust me on this'' I rolled my eyes again I couldn't trust anyone never trust anyone is what I say If you trust someone they will either burn you down or be equal.

'' I am living with 2 people who both lost their parents, and I have no time you see they... they can't control but feel miserable everyday and they make me do everything sometimes I can't sleep because they absolutely crazy'' I let out a gulp of air wondering what hell did I just say? I knew I didn't mean it I just had to say something like that to get him off my back.

'' I am going to be honest with you, When I first met you I thought you were arrogant teenager who didn't give one hell about his life and now when I am talking to you now I realized that I was right. Jack you can fix your life you can become something more you can live isn't something you have always wanted to do'' He tells me while I felt anger boil rise up at his words but I try to cool it down.

''Listen Doc I have to go but if I change my mind I will call you okay but I don't think I will change my mind'' I asked and he signed and I wanted to beat his face now because the way he signed like he was the angry one but I was.

''Okay Bye '' Then I hung up but heard a button switch which made me look that I pressed Voice recorder for the whole conversation I didn't think it was a big so ill delete later then flopped myself to my bed with both my hands resting my head and looking up.

So I have Cancer and I'm living with a 4-year-old boy who think I'm his role model when I'm a terrible person, adding to the fact i'm living with Ben i'm also living with Kim who I hated for a long time but of course something happens to bring us closer, something that I thought would never happen but did like it was meant to be or something.

I decide that I couldn't sleep so I got up and went to make sure everyone was still sound asleep I went to my mom and dads room to my mom sleeping in the bed with beer bottles around her typical, then I went to Kim's room to see Kim sleeping next to Ben holding his hand and I smiled at the picture of those two no more anger inside me.

I went down got out some phone numbers to order breakfast then I called Ihops and ordered breakfast like pancakes, waffles, coffee and fruits, They told within 20 minutes they would be here so I went the living room and watched t.v. After 10 minutes the door bell rang and I got up to answer it with the money I am supposed to pay, I opened the door and was shocked when I answered the door.

"What are you doing here" I asked my dad who had a hand on his forehead looking in pain, Now I felt anger inside of me remembering what he did to me over 16 hours ago and he did it in front of Kim and Ben they weren't suppose to know that he does that to me I could take the pain but not the pain of Kim's face when she saw it.

"Um its my house what I can't live in it" I was surprised that he was sober today he is never sober i mean never, He was usually very tipsy and couldn't talk he drank to morning through night he was drunk everyday the only times he actually tried to stay sober is when its a holiday.

"No I thought you were at your friend's house, wait are you sober?" I let him in the house and he looked at me and nodded, While I stood shock maybe he wasn't sober for now maybe he will go and get some beer or shots when we were finished this conversation.

"I was and I told you how i will go to the club well I didn't I actually realized how bad drinking is and I might stay like this for a while I thought of this the whole night" I rose my brows at him, feeling a bit of anger at him he picked this day to be sober then any other day.

"How did you realize that" He cleared his throat and looked his direction to the couch and I nodded and We sat in silence and I glanced at him and I could tell he was trying to get words out all I'm wondering is why does he want to be sober while I put my hands together trying to figure out myself on what is he trying to say.

''Jack before I went to my friend's house yesterday I stayed sober while I was gone'' He finally let out his first sentence, the only sentence that still didn't make sense he stayed sober but he wasn't sober when he came home he was full on drunk and wasted it was even hard to explain.

''Why, you have never stopped drinking before and everyday you have a beer bottle in your hand how are going to stay sober.'' I asked with annoyance I knew my father he wasn't cable in staying sober not even an hour he needed a drink every second that was just him.

''Jack I knew what happen yesterday and I was not happy of what I did and it realize that I am not myself when I drink I will see a therapist for this if I have to its just I remember how I whipped and it drove me insane'' This time I clutched my fist and smacked the table standing up the anger inside bolting up I was mad and my anger is rising.

''Did You think this was the first time! It's not dad this is not the first time you whipped me and I'm not worried about that I'm worried that they watched and saw!'' I screamed and pointed to the quest room, finally letting every anger out of me I was upset still on the fact that they did see and watched all the worst parts.

''They- They saw Oh my god I'm a terrible dad I really am I haven't paid attention to you and Oh my god Jack I'm so sorry'' He cried at me putting a hand on my shoulder which I shrugged away I didn't have time for his pity and apologizes now I was too angry to forgive him now maybe I will never forgive him on what he did.

''Dad do you think I'm actually going to forgive you didn't just touch me you touched a little boy He's 4 dad 4 he already had to deal with the fact that his dad died that boy means a lot to me, Then You touched Kim really you were going to kill her you had a broken beer bottle clutched by her throat! and Ben would be devastated,.. I would have been devastated'' I told him standing up with my dad rubbing his face with his hands like he made the hugest mistake.

''Jack Im am sorry Okay I never wanted any of this to happen and I swear to you I will stop drinking until I die, I will make your mother stop but Jack you have to believe me that I didn't want any of this to happen'' He said to me with tears in his eye and I was shocked he had tears actual tears, He was trying to show me that he was sorry on what he did.

''Dad all your mistakes all the things that you did are way bigger now and I don't know what to do anymore about you Dad Why Would You Do This!'' I screamed some tears on the verge to drop but it was only my dad's tears that escaped, even if he was crying I could let help but let everything out it was just to serious it was no joke.

''Jack Did you really think I wanted to do this okay the moment I realized what I did to you yesterday I wanted to end my life'' He whispered to me which caused my stomach to twist to think Kim's mom ended her life to be with the one she loved but this time for my dad it was take all the pain and misery he caused me that was facing me into life.

''I just... I just don't know what to do Dad Tell me what to do tell me I'm so lost and confused I can't focus if know one is telling me what to do'' I said roughly tugging on my hair looking down at the floor, Just to think about that I've tried everything to keep this family right went down it ruined my life trying to make everything right.

I felt a hand on my shoulder I looked up at my dad's big red puffy eyes, ''You don't have to anything all you have to do is be You.. Be you Jack and I will do everything to stop my drinking okay Jack I already called a therapist to help me Jack'' I looked up at him with confusion he was serious about if he was going to visit a therapist about it.

''Dad I can't be me because the real me is an asshole and wants everyone to go to hell I don't want to be that Jack I want to be normal Jack, I've only been an ass hole when I saw your attitude when you where drunk and thought it was cool'' My dad Jaw clenched and his fist and he stares at me for a moment with tears spilling on his face.

''Jack I know the real you I've seen it you are loyal, Kind and Responsible the only ass whole here is me Jack I deserve to go to hell for what I did to you and all those things about me where right I am a terrible person and father if I would have a choice to live or die about yesterday I would have picked die'' He confidently said to me with more tears spilling and now a couple of tears spilling from my own cheek that I had to wipe.

I felt guilt reach to me so I stepped forward and brought my dad into a hug and I felt him relaxed and crying into my shoulder and I let him ''I love you so Much son'' He cried into my shoulder and I nodded and pulled away he was okay with me not saying it back since he knew I wasn't ready to forgive for all the troubles he has done.

''Okay dad okay I wont forgive you yet but I do trust you that will stop drinking so I better see the progress okay'' I said to him and he nodded with a smile I tapped his shoulder, ''okay and I trust that you will get a haircut because damn that hair needs to go I cant believe I didn't notice this you know I think you got it from your mother'' He laughed which I joined.

''Okay Okay grandpa while your done mocking me you should get some rest you probably didn't get good sleep last night'' I said with a smile and he nodded and head upstairs but stopped midway and grinned down at me, ''Good to be back son'' He smiled at me ''Good for you to be back we were waiting for your appearance'' I smiled and he nodded and went to his room while I was still waiting for our delivery.

When the delivery guy came and brought the food I handed him the money and let him keep the change, I set the food on the table and got plates and forks with napkins and I know what your thinking Tough guy Jack Brewer setting a table and ordering food.

Well then your right that exactly what I am doing from what happen yesterday I just wanted everything to be okay today, After setting the table ready I headed upstairs to wake up Kim and Ben since I didn't trust my dad or my mom yet. I walked in to see Kim fully awake using her phone in a ponytail and her pj's and I quickly moved my shift to Ben who was still fast asleep.

''How is he did his fever go away yet'' I asked Kim who looked up at me with a sad smile and I moved to Ben and clutched down to his level feeling his forehead which we still hot I guess his sickness might be there, I turned to Kim who was shaking her head like I was wrong about my statement that he was sick.

''His fever has gone done I think his allergies are coming but so I think I should take him to the doctors, I tried to make him up but he wouldn't get up'' She moved to the bed to right beside me as the same level she smiled at Ben while I just looked at her the way she was smiling and the way she teeth were white then she turned to me and I looked away quickly.

''Yesterday was a hard day to suck in but I could take you guys to the hospital I have to talk to a doctor anyway about something'' I turned to her and faced her and I felt her staring at me up and down I was a little uncomfortable because she was also staring at my back like she could see the scars through me while I signed in my head.

''You mean about your sickness'' She joked while I stared into space nodding thinking of what the doctor said the cancer will spread and it make your life end Will my life end? Will The surgery even work? all these questions popped into my head leading me to think about the operation and the therapy for the Cancer I Have Cancer.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned to Kim who had guilt in her face ''Jack are you okay you have stared off into space for a while is something wrong'' I gave her a smile then turned to Ben and still had a smile on my face, I reached up to pinch his cheek instead of hearing nothing I heard a tiny grunt maybe I was just hearing stuff?

''Yeah Im just wondering when should we wake up the little kiddo'' I looked at Ben and heard a giggle laughter then turned to Kim who had a smirk on her face and I grinned at her, ''I don't know if he wake up Ben he seems tired you know Ben never wanting to make up just wanting to sleep'' This time I smirked when I heard a ''No'' from Ben's voice.

''Yeah maybe he should stay in bed while he eat Candy, Ice cream, Cake and Watch Sponge bob'' I turned to Kim with a nod and she had a grin on her face. ''No way I love to do that but I forgot Jack how did the chorus go for Sponge bob theme song I have no clue'' We heard Ben mutter ''Aye AyeCaptain'' ''Oh yes the chorus it went like this ''Who Lives in a Pineapple under the sea'' I sang along with Kim who had a cute grin on her face.

''Sponge bob square pants'' Ben answered in his sleep whispering and I chuckled lightly turning to Kim, ''Who lives in a pineapple I think I forgot Kim'' I looked her with suspension then we shifted back to Ben facing the wall while we were facing his back. ''You know what Jack I think I forgot who lives in a pineapple maybe my friends know but they don't watch sponge bob what to do what to do'' I laughed at her Joke to see Ben huffing and puffing like he wanted to jump out of Bed.

''Its Sponge Bob! Okay He lives in a pineapple under the sea Its Sponge Bob!'' Ben yelled leaping out of the Bed to face us while Me and Kim laughed out loud, ''Hey buddy glad your awake I was wondering when were you going to answer that'' I laughed and Ben glared at me saying ''Not funny'' with his arms crossed. ''Sorry Ben but you wouldn't wake up so this was the only way to wake you up'' Kim apologized and I nodded looking at Ben who was looking between Me and Kim.

''I still want Ice cream, Cake and I will watch Sponge bob and will love it'' I nodded smiling at him and put on Sponge bob for him while Kim suggested we all go downstairs but I had to talk to her really quick since she doesn't know about my dad returning and how he might change.

''Um Kim can I talk to you for a minute then we will be right back'' I asked her and she looked at in confusion but nodded and Ben well he was to busy watching Sponge bob to even notice us, We walked to my room and I made sure my parents were asleep and they were there snores are incredibly loud.

''So Jack what did you want to talk to me about'' She asked with a curious tone and I closed the door and locked before stepping forward-looking at Kim who had her arms crossed with confusion in her brown eyes while I licked my lips thinking of an easy what to say this.

''Before you say anything I'm locking the door so Ben or My Par... I mean Mom wont hear you scream of what I'm about to say'' I told her my hands build up into a fist just thinking about yesterday and how he whipped me constantly until I bled which I did.

''Okay but what I would scream Oh my god Jack what did you do don't tell me the police are coming for you'' She put a hand on her forehead while I looked at her with anger to me its was kind of an insult, I glared at her and she notices while she did the same thing back to the fight was going to begin I could feel it.

''Nothing I haven't done anything You know me better than that, I just came here to tell you that my dad is back he came in here in the morning sober and said he stopped drinking and will try to go to the therapist'' I told her and she looked at me in anger her hands were balled up into a fist like she was about to punch me in the face.

''You let your Dad back after Yesterday! After what he did to Ben! You still let him in this house Jack He abused you, He Whipped You! and He touched Ben does he mean nothing to you!'' She screamed to me while I shot her a glare she was kidding right Ben was the most important thing in the family I would forgive myself if something happened to him and it was my fault.

''Are you kidding me! Ben Means so much to me and what am I suppose to do its my dad's house am I really suppose to throw him to the street'' She signed and but her hand on her forehead and started pacing around while I stayed still looking down She was mad and I was the same I couldn't help but bring to the anger.

''No I don't except you to Kick him out of the house I expected you to fight for Ben to fight for us its the one thing I wanted you to do'' I rolled my eyes if she only heard the conversation I had with my dad she would know I did fight for them, I stepped closer to her and she stopped looking into my eyes with anger shedding in it.

''Thats where your overreacting Kim because I did fight for both of you because My dad knew he whipped me but he didn't know he touched Ben or him, I told that is wasn't okay that he made Ben scared and He almost killed you that Ben would be devastated and I would have been...'' I gulped I didn't want to say devastated because then It would think I would have a crush on her.

''You would have been what'' She said looking up at me meeting my eyes that I couldn't tear away from her, ''Nothing Never mind what matters is that I did fight for you guys but your right I did fail'' I told her and sat at my bed with my eyes traveling the floor all the range was going to burst I could feel it.

''Jack what are you saying how did you fail us'' She was going to sit on the bed but I stood up immediately with range my hands in ball fist finally a vision appearing into my mind of my drunk dad and of all the times he has abused me and all the scars he has created made me more and more angry.

''I Made a promise! that I would protect You and Ben! but I failed because He touched both of you who knows what would happen If I agreed to be whip or if you didn't know defense class, but I know you guys would have died you don't know my father when he's drunk'' I yelled slamming my fist into the wall just the fact that the range was bursting more and more.

''Jack stop okay look at me'' She walked over to me and cupped my cheeks while I stood there looking down at her relaxing at her touch, Her touch was like electricity but the good way I grabbed her hand and they were soft like her hands on my face all I wanted to do Is kiss her one more time.

''You didn't fail us Jack if anything you saved us, Jack you risked your life to save Ben and if you did get out of the ropes you would've had saved me to so Thank you for saving me and Ben's life'' She told him letting me go and pulling me in a hug with her chin resting on my shoulder and I put my arms around her hips I felt relaxed by her touch.

she pulled away thinking in deep thoughts maybe about yesterday and I could tell she wanted to see my back because her eyes trailed behind my shirt, ''Jack Let me see your back I want to know if its okay'' I nodded and pulled my shirt up reveling my damn hardcore 6 pack and I saw her stare for a minute which made me grin.

I smirked when she looked up staring at my 6 pack I then turned around and made sure she got a good look at my back, I decide to take off the bandage showing the dry blood from yesterday but it also had scars the looked old scars and many whipped bruises, I felt her brought her hand up to my old scars and creased it and I felt tense and relax when she creased my back her hand were harm and soft.

''What are you doing to me'' I muttered in a very low whisper so she wouldn't hear me but she only looked at my back scanning it while My body exploded when ever she put the tip of her finger of my back if felt really good to have touching my back- Okay that was a really weird sentences I said in my head.

''What kind of monster would do this'' She said to me while I shrugged it off like it was nothing to me it was nothing this isn't the first time it happened this was just the first time Kim saw, ''Jack This has happened before hasn't it'' She plead looking in my eyes as I turned around to face her and the only thing I could do is nod I couldn't lie to her the way he face broke when I told her.

''It has but I don't want to talk about it since it the past'' I told her and she got the clue and nodded but looked at me wanting to say something but couldn't get the word out while I crossed my arm but put my shirt back on since she was finished on looking at my back.

''Jack I have to tell you something'' She asked me and I looked at her in confusion and she licked her lips biting her bottom lip that was driving me insane when she was doing that, ''Yeah what is it'' I could tell she didn't know what to say like she need the right words and I stared at her then she finally let our whatever she needed to sat to me.

''Joe Smith asked me out and I agreed but the problem is that I used to live in my old house and he doesn't know I live here and If I tell I live with you he might think something is going on between us'' I stared at her with shock but truly in the inside I felt angry like I wanted to punch Joe for even asking her out when I heard they are going to date What's happening to me?

''Just don't Tell Joe I live here tell him its your aunt's house or something don't worry Kim everything will be fine now come on Ben's waiting, oh and Kim if he hurts you just come to me I know may ways to smash a persons head'' I told her with a wink and she laughed hitting my chest lightly while I continued to stare at her until the laughter died down.

''Okay but Can you watch Ben this Saturday that's the day I will be with Joe on our date so can you watch Ben'' She smiled and I gave her a reassuring nod then I picked her up and gave her piggy back ride and stepped into the quest room and tackled Ben spinning him and tickling him while he was laughing loudly, Once I told them there was breakfast downstairs they left to eat and I went to my room and grabbed my phone and dialed Number.

''Hello'' I heard say over the other line which made me go silence for a couple of seconds, ''Hi Its Jack and I was wondering when can you start with the therapy and surgery'' I could feel him have a relief sign which made me grinned that he was serious on being cared about me and what happen to me.

''Glad to know you're doing this Jack okay I think we should talk in person so how about on Saturday you come to my office'' My eyes went wide as I realized that I had to take care of Ben on Saturday because of Kim's stupid date, ''You know what that's actually a perfect day but I want the therapy and surgery right after school ends okay'' I told him still not wanting my friends or anyone else to know about my cancer.

''Sounds Great Jack and by the way it's not embarrassing if people know about it's actually brave that you are going to do this'' I nodded and then we both said our ''Goodbyes'' and hung up, I went downstairs to see Kim and Ben eating breakfast they told me to Join but I realized I didn't get the mail yet so I walked out the door and headed to the mailbox, I got the mail and It had all stuff for my mom and dad so stuff for me about college but one letter made me stop my track.

I know your living with Kim Crawford and Ben Crawford and I will let you know is that I'm coming after them and I will kill them right in front of your face like I did with their Father soon. Don't worry If I was you I would stay with them at all times because I wont just kill them with a gun I will torture them first I hope your girlfriend and her brother have fun being killed.
