“I’m confused, when I came to your house your Dad said he’d ‘make you pay’, but why would he wait so long to do this to you, I mean, that was weeks ago.”
Jer sighed."I had been crashing at a friend's house. I only came home to get more clothes. He came home just as I was leaving."
"And he was drunk?"I asked.
He nodded. "And angry. He smashed his beer bottle against the side of the house and stabbed me with it."
I winced."Oh my God, Jer."
"When I crumpled to the ground he actually looked scared and remorseful for a second but then the neighbor came out and he got in his car and drove away." he explained.
"What did your neighbor do?"
"She wanted to call the cops but I told her not to and then asked if she could drop me off at your place instead."
"So that's how you got here."
He nod
