It was another night when you and JJ were sitting on the beach on the sand by the water, the outgoing and incoming breeze tickling your bare feet with it.

you and JJ became friends because of how much the same way you lived. You both had a problem with your fathers, they both beat you.

And today was no exception. What happened to you? But here's the thing: your father came home drunk, and of course he unleashed drunken anger on you, as a result, your lip was split from a slap and your cheek hurt. What happened to our sweet JJ? here's what: another quarrel with his father, in which he got lost in who was shouting what, who struck first, as a result, he had an abrasion on his cheek, and his lip was also split.

You may be kooks, But you're a true pogue at heart. That's why you became friends with JJ.

The stars were sparkling in the sky, crickets were chirping in the background, JJ was drawing something on the sand with a stick, and you were just sitting there, looking at the calm ocean.

– «you know... sometimes it seems to me that our fathers are one person, just in two bodies» – He joked to lighten the mood.

Looking at him with a faint smile, you raised an eyebrow, slightly pushing your legs further so that the breeze bathed them. – «Now I am too...»

Chuckling, JJ threw the stick aside and stared into the depths of the ocean, rather even at the horizon.

– «you know... I didn't think that I would find a friend who has the same situation with his father as me...» – He smiled slightly, turning his head and looking at you.

He didn't like the idea of his best friend being hurt, but what could he do? you didn't let him do anything, saying that you could handle this family position on your own.

But his chest tightened every time he saw new bruises, scars or abrasions on his body. He wanted to protect you from all the evil in this world.
