Jordan was kind enough to let me stay with her in her dorm but I didn't want her to know everything. I just told her that my parents were out of town for a few days and I didn't want to be in the house alone. She told me I could stay with her until my parents get back. She didn't know anything about my situation and day by day it became harder to hide it from her and Sarah.67Please respect copyright.PENANAWo9AJaYdSs

I felt like more of a burden than anything else and it was weighing me down having to lie to them constantly about where I live. The only person who honestly knew anything was Ian, and it wasn't by choice either. 67Please respect copyright.PENANAEcoQ00VOrr

I knew deep down if I really had no where to go, I'd have to stay here, with my dad. I couldn't let it come to that. It hurt too much to even think that was my only option. The way he was wouldn't allow me to stay here with him. Especially with my mom gone there was no one left to protect me. Not that she did much of that when she was here anyway.67Please respect copyright.PENANAt31rM1Ir5g

I popped my head up from my phone and looked at him. He was looking at himself in the mirror fixing his hair. He still had a white towel wrapped around his waist and I was starting to wonder if he was just going to stay like that the whole time. I remember him mentioning being in football which explained his body type. He was more buff than Ian and a little shorter. He had a round face and short light brown hair. His eyes were dark blue like an ocean and very pretty for the brief moments I saw them. He didn't really look or make eye contact with me for longer than a few seconds. I assumed this was because he was practically naked and didn't want to make things weird.67Please respect copyright.PENANAAUViEkzTwd

He had a point. It feels like I've been around Ian a lot lately. Plus him walking in on us in bed naked together didn't exactly help me argument. 67Please respect copyright.PENANAyvZLiDXtXR

He hung up the garment bag in his closet and looked at Dean. Dean recognized that he was hinting at him to leave and he collected clothes lying on the bed and exited to the bathroom.67Please respect copyright.PENANA9lUsYZOA26
