CRASH! BANG!! CRAAACKK!!!
Some plates from the kitchen or possibly something else were broken due to a fit of total rage. This happens once a week. It feels like Jack. Though it's for differing reasons. But this reason was because of his lover. Not the fact that he was dating a boy. It was because he was a noob.
Of course they hated the fact that he just so happened to be a boy too, which didn't make anything better. How Jack wished he could just live a normal life with his partner far, far away from here.
He ran from the living room where his father was to run to his room where his partner was. When he finally got there he rubbed the tears from his eyes and turned the door knob open. He observed his room. The lights were dim as the only sources of it were from a few lamps and some of the moonlight seeping in from the windows. His walls are draped in posters and tapestries and some photos of him and his boyfriend. Speaking of which, he notices his bed with him sound asleep unaware of the violence in the kitchen. Jack slowly approaches him and then rubs his hand against the boy's cheek. He had known noobs were just warmer than non noobs like himself. Their noobanium just automatically makes them walking heaters so it seemed. Jack had always liked that about him. He finally did speak up. He wanted to tell him what he wanted to do in this situation.
“Nebulous, wake up man.”
He had no input. To be honest he was a pretty heavy sleeper.
“Please Nebulous wake up.”
He was stuck and he could hear footsteps making his way up the stairs. He needed to act fast. He started to shake Nebulous, even squeezing his hand to try to wake him up.
“....guh huh…?”
“We have to go. It's really urgent, c'mon."
I know he was tired, Jack was too. They had to get out of this stupid house though.
Part of his plan was to sneak downstairs and get the keys on the living room table. Sounds easy enough but the thing is, the kitchen was adjacent to it.
“Nebulous get out from the window, I promise the drop isn't going to be bad just climb down the tree. I have to get something for my plan.”
Neb looked like he could barely stand. Luckily though he slept in his normal clothes so it wouldn't be weird if he needed to go anywhere after we bail this house.
Opening the door to the hallway Jack tiptoed down the stairs clinging on to the handrails. As he went down the yelling and the destruction of things got louder and louder. He caught up to some of the things they were saying,
“MY SON WITH A NOOB?”
“WHY WOULD HE LET A DISGUSTING NOOB INTO THIS HOUSE”
his heart felt like it got shot point blank. He was none of those things, Nebulous was none of those. Sure he's rough around the edges sometimes. But he wasn't a demon like what they are describing. He sniffed and sprinted to the dining room to get the keys and then ran back upstairs into his room to pack. He had to make this quick. It got crazy quiet downstairs probably because his parents probably got into his plan.
One toothbrush, toothpaste, a few snacks he kept in his snack drawer, some pictures of him and nebulous, a few cds he and nebulous liked to play in the car, a waterbottle, his wallet, and the guitar he let's nebulous use. These items were all stuffed (or in the guitar’s case just held by hand) in his old school bag which was pretty beat up. It was about time he moved out; he was 19 after all.
As he heard stomping approaching his room he exited through the window Nebulous had left from.
“Phew… now let's get into the car now!” Jack asserted.
He unlocked the car and opened the passenger door to let Nebulous get in. After that he opened the driver's door to get in himself. He turned on the car and drove as far as he could from that hell-hole of a house. The town was dark, like very dark. A few street lights illuminated the pitch black here in there and of course the moonlight was present. The car was warm as he put the heat on.
He heard soft snores coming from Nebulous. For a second Jack's gaze was on him while still trying to focus on the road. He was in a light-ish green-yellow sleeveless hoodie with a purple bloxxer design with a black long sleeve shirt beneath it. He had black jeans on and some converse on with black socks. And finally for his face. He had poorly dyed purple hair that was so long it covered his eyes and went down to at least his shoulders. He currently had his hood around his head probably to serve as enhanced cushioning for his head. The car made a soft hum as it drove across the town. This is going to be a really long drive. He can feel it. They had probably called the cops in efforts to find him and Nebulous. But Jack doubts it. His parents wouldn't be that competent.
“Haha…I don't even know where I'm driving to, Neb.”
He didn't expect some sort of answer from that, he just wants Nebulous to rest after this long night.
Jack would reach his free hand to rub Nebulous’ head
“Im so sorry I roped you into this, now at least you can sleep again like you were”
He lifted his hand away from him to place back on the steering wheel. After about an hour of aimless driving. It had started to rain.
They need to find a place to crash.
That or get caught by the police,
And back to his parents.
