At the end of the day, Cain tiredly left the school, bunched up with his hood over his head, hands tucked in his pockets. He tensed and blinked when he saw Jason waiting for him. Warily, he looked around to make sure his friends couldn't see him, before striding over and opening the door, climbing in and tossing his bag into the backseat. '...hi.'

ROLEPLAY- Riley glaced into the rearview mirror at the couple and he pursed his lips into a line as he pulled away from the curb and onto the road. He kept checking on the three in the back, but did make it to the house in a timely manner. "You're going to feel a little funny for a moment. That's just Amy's wards." He warned softly as the passed a marker in the road that looked similar to a memorial. Soon after he pulled into the driveway of his home. -

'Mmm.' Russell mumbled, half-falling out of the car as Abe helped him out. Leaning very heavily on his partner, the Nephil finally seemed to give in, and quite promptly passed out.

Abe laughed quietly and patted his head gently, before looking at Riley.
Jason grinned at him. "Afternoon, how'd your day go, boo?" He teased, before driving off.

ROLEPLAY- Riley frowned at Russell and he shook his head and sighed. He reached into the back and lifted Devon out, moving over towards the house. The light on the veranda swtiched on and the door opened. Amy was pulling on a bathrobe, her expression stern but there was a kindness behind it. Riley headed inside first and Amy swatted at him, warning him about not calling ahead once again. Once Riley was inside, she turned her attention to Russell and Abe. "Good evening, Abe." She greeted softly, although her eyes were on Russell. -

Cain blushed and quietly looked out of the window. 'Fine.' He mumbled, the word sounding slightly forced on his bust lip. 'Are you taking me home, or somewhere else? I highly doubt you keep seeing me just to play taxi.'

Abe smiled and politely averted his gaze from Amy. "Hello Amy." He said, finding a very interesting piece of wall to look at.
Jason blinked. "Just fine?" He asked, before shaking his head and not pushing him further. "And we are heading out of town for the night. It is the weekend after all."

Cain frowned deeply. '...you're taking me out in my school clothes and a beat up hoodie?' He drily asked, still not looking at him, trying to hide the bloodied state that his face was in. He had soft flecks of blood in his white hair, too, and he felt gross beyond belief. He knew he wouldn't be able to go out like that.

ROLEPLAY- "Come on, in you come." She stepped aside so he had room to come in, jerking her head slightly to the interior of the house. There were no lights on upstairs, and for the moment, RIley had settled Devon on the three seater couch, leaving the loveseat and the recliner free. -

Jason smiled and reached into the backseat, and grabbed a bag. "I had to guess your sizes." He said, tossing the bag onto his lap.
Abe took Russell over to the loveseat and sat him down, before sitting himself next to him and pulling his head into his lap.

ROLEPLAY- Riley left for a moment and came back with a glass of water which he offered to Abe. Amy came up behind Riley and wrapped her arms around his waist. "I'm going back to bed. Be careful if you go out again tonight."
Riley turned around and pressed a kiss to her hair, brushing her face gently. She smiled before bidding the rest of the group a good bye and headed up the steps, a conjured light in her hand. -

Cain blinked, cheeks reddening. 'Why'd you buy me stuff?' He mumbled, taking the bag and looking through it. '...I'm not wearing this.' He concluded, ducking his head more, clearly embarrassed.

Abe took the drink and smiled. "Thank you." He said, before watching Amy. "...you have a gorgeous wife." He said, looking back at him and smiling.
Jason raised an eyebrow, looking at him. "C'mon, live a little. Its that or your school clothes."

Cain was overwhelmed with a coil of anxiety in his stomach, and was struggling with the peer pressure Jason was pushing onto him. 'I need to shower first.' He mumbled, running his tongue over his lip, tasting dry blood.

ROLEPLAY- "I know." Riley responded softly, an absent fondness in his voice as he watched the last of her disappear up the stairs. He turned his attention back to Abe fully, his cheeks dusting a slight red. "Thank you. I'm sure that she'll love the compliment." He ducked his head slightly before peeling off his blazer and loosening his tie.
"Is there anything else I can get you? I'll likely stay out here tonight as well to keep an eye on him." He nodded towards Devon. "You can sleep if you wish. There's a spare bed if you wanted to take your husband to sleep?" -

Russell giggled. 'Abe doesn't sleep.' He mumbled, rolling over slightly, opening his eyes. Yeah... fatigued. He sleepily examined Abe, then Riley, his eyes looking like they were trying to figure out some kind of puzzle.

ROLEPLAY- Riley breathed out a relieved sigh when Russell woke up and gave him a sly grin. "So you've finally decided to join us." He teased. "Would you like some water?" -

Jason blinked, then nodded. "Alright." He said, changing his destination. "I'll let you get what you need at my place."
Abe nodded and picked Russell up, holding him bridal style. "If he wakes up and you need any help, just give me a shout. I'm...well...a light sleeper." He laughed quietly at his own little joke.

Cain sighed softly and bowed his head, knowing he'd have to do something with his face. When they arrived at Jason's, he warily walked in, still hiding his face. He found his way to the bathroom and got undressed, hopping in the shower, watching the blood wash down the drain. He checked his stab wound and cleaned it, then took out some fresh bandaging from his bag and wrapped it up. He stepped out of the shower and towelled himself dry, then attempted to towel dry his hair. With a stab of panic, he realised he'd have to tie it up, since it was wet. Swallowing nervously, he slung his hair up into a messy bun, then hesitantly got dressed in the clothes Jason had bought him. He couldn't argue that he looked f*cking great in them- he just hated seeing his body. Under his hoodie and baggy joggings, he was clearly underweight. He quietly examined his ribs, then examined the bruising on his face, hips, and upper arms from Declan. He sighed softly and slung his bag back over his shoulder, unable to do much else. It wasn't like he'd brought any makeup. He headed out of the bathroom and back downstairs, clearly extremely uncomfortable, ashamed, and embarrassed. --- Russell giggled at Abe's joke. 'No water.' He slurred. 'I'm ok. Thankyou.' He blearily held onto Abe as he carried him.

Jason looked up from where he stood, and immediately frowned. "What happened to you?" He asked, his head tilted, his face full of concern.

Cain flushed a deep red, averting his gaze. 'My b- my- frie- the-' he took in a shaking breath. 'My friends- roughed me up a bit.' He mumbled. 'Declan didn't want me talking to a guy in my class.'

"So he beat the sh*t out of you? Nice friend." Jason said, looking at him again, some serious sarcasm in his voice.

He averted his gaze, shuffling his feet and tugging slightly on his jacket, tearing up ever so slightly at his current situation. 'I- he-' he stammered, looking down at his feet. 'he looks o-out f-for me.' He mumbled, sounding very clearly like he was repeating words that had been drilled into him. 'I sh-shouldn't have spoken to- to Vancha.'

"Liar." He said, narrowing his eyes. "That's rehearsed. How many times has he said that to you while he beat you? No one in their right mind believes that beating someone up is protecting them."

Cain winced, taking a nervous step back from Jason, his back hitting the wall behind him. He swallowed nervously, clearly becoming tentatively afraid of Jason's tone. 'I- he's-' his voice was now trembling much more than before. 'he's all I've had.' He finally croaked, shaking.

Jason saw his fear and calmed down slightly. "He's not a good friend. Not a good influence. He's not going to let you go, you know that right? He's always going to take his problems out on you."

Cain swallowed tightly, shuffling uncomfortably. 'He's not my- I... hes-' he trailed off again, cheeks extremely red. 'i can't do anything.' He mumbled.

Jason stared, his eyes narrowing. "You're together? Dude, that's one hell of an abusive relationship. Mental and physical."

'I'm not- it's not-' he sucked in a deep breath, then promptly slid down the wall and curled up into a ball, releasing a tiny sob. He covered his head with his arms, clearly a learned defensive movement, and leaned heavily against the wall, as if hiding away from Jason.

Jason watched him, then moved over and crouched down. "You know I'm right, don't you Cain. You're just too scared to say so." He slowly reached out and placed his hand on the boys shoulder. "You're safer here than you are anywhere else, you know that right?"
