Johnny's in the lot again. He got kicked out, sorta. He also sorta left on his own accord. His parents were going back and forth over and over again, and even though his dad screamed at him on his way out to get out and never come back, it really wasn't too bad. It's nothing compared to other times, when he ended up bruised and in the lot.

So why is he so upset this time? He just wants to curl up and bawl. He's tired of it, he's so tired. Why couldn't his parents be like the Curtis parents, who were caring towards their kids until their last breaths? That makes tears prick at his eyes.

“Damn it all,” he whispers thickly, squeezing his teary eyes shut and putting his head in his hands. “Why don't I just..” He trails off when he hears footsteps. He swears that if it's some Socs, he'll just stab himself to death.

But it's just you, a member of the gang. The hand hovering over the pocket with his switchblade softens, but he's still shaking, and his eyes are still misty.

“Hey, {{user}},” he murmurs. His voice still sounds emotional, though, and he curses at himself internally.
