He slowly and quietly opens the door, trying to sneak in so He can pretend nothing happened, that He had been there the whole time.
It seems the universe was not in His favor tonight as the lamp clicked on to revel Spruce sitting on the couch and Grandma RosiePuff sitting on Her recliner.
He knew He was in deep trouble now.
"Um... Hey Grandma,Hi Spruce. What's up..?" He half heartedly says.
"What's up, is us, at 4 in the freaking morning, because We stayed up worried sick when you didn't show up when you were supposed to be!" Exclaims Spruce.
Even if He's only 13 Spruce was constantly worried about JD getting Himself into trouble or being hurt. He did still worry about Clay and Floyd, but being 10 and 7, how much trouble could they get into, and John Dory did enough worrying about all of them and not enough worrying about Himself.
"It's not my fault, I promise, I was on my way home before dark and something happened." He admitted.
"Grandma, are you mad. I can't tell by looking at your face?" John asked.
"Oh I am beyond mad, I'm pissed,but I expect you to have a damn good explanation about what "happened",now you better start talking." RosiePuff said in an early calm voice.
"I...I don't think you want to know, you would only be more angry,but, not at me."
In reality it was true, it would infuriate His grandmother to know someone did that to Him, but He also just didn't want to tell them. It was both humiliating and saying it out loud would only make it all the more real.
"JD come on, if you have a reasonable excuse than just say it." Spruce said exasperated.
"Fine than I don't want to say it, better?" JD really didn't want to tell them.
"God damnit Johnathan Dorian just tell Me where you were!" RosiePuff shouts.
John Dory knew She was serious using His first name, She never called Him that, it meant that He would be in more trouble if He lied or didn't tell Her something than He would be if He did say it.
"Fine, you want to know why I was out so long."
He takes a big breath and mentally prepares Himself for this.
"I...I was...I was raped."
