Third POV:

There was rustling then the bathroom door opened. Jack dashed into the closet, which was bare and only had a few towels in it. He took off his mask and slid off his bag.

He peeked around the corner and saw a man with unruly short curly brown hair, light skin and a towel wrapped around him along with one draped over his wet hair.

As the man took off his towel Jack ducked back into the closet, a blush sprouting on his cheeks. Who is that?

Jack soon heard a rustle of clothes, then a phone typing. "Where are you?" The stranger said, in an accent?

Jack furrowed his eyebrows and leaned on the door. He heard the man shiver then something shut. The window! Damn it! Jack softly sighed.

There was silence, which put Jack on edge. He heard the man mumble something then type on his phone.

"Pick up you spork." Jack made a face. Spork? Really? Finally, the phone seemed to get to the person the man wanted it to.

"Phil! Where the bloody hell are you?!"

I guess the guy wanted to get to Phil, are they dating?

"Chill Dan, I just went to the store and I got noticed by a girl."

The guy's name is Dan?

"Alright, well hurry up, I'm getting chills from here."

"Okay okay, bye Dan."

"Bye."

Wait wait wait, there is another person coming?! Jack moved his foot a bit but that made the floor creak. The man, Dan, stopped.

"Hello?"

Fuck! Jack held his breath, trying not to let Dan know he was there. He slowly sat on the ground, his hand on his mouth.

"It's okay Dan, there is nothing there, it's probably the vents, yeah, just vents. Not at all a murderer trying to kill me."

Jeez, this dude needs to chill. Jack rolled his eyes. Now Jack wanted to mess with this guy. Jack scooted back a bit so he could see Dan through the cracks.

Dan had a black sweater on with dark blue jeans, his hair now tame. He reminds me of Jay. Jack shrugged and felt around him.

He felt a pebble under his hand and he picked it up, aimed it through the crack at a lamp, and threw it.

The pebble hit the lamp's shade and Dan jumped. Bullseye! Jack suppressed a laugh.

But then Dan grabbed what seemed like a long metal stick but it had three legs and he waved it around.

"Okay, who's in here?! I will fight you! Show yourself!" Jack could see that Dan was visibly scared and he rolled his eyes again.

"I'll call the authorities!" And they won't do shit. Dan seemed to jump again.

"Who said that?!" His voice wavered.

"Shit, I said that out loud?" Jack mumbled. Dan seemed to nod, now holding the metal stick close.

"Who are you?" He said, now a bit calmer knowing it was probably just a kid.

"I'm just some kid that needs clothes, care to help a poor boy?" Jack confessed. Might as well tell him.

Dan dropped the stick and looked around. "Where are you?" Jack sighed and stood, shuffling out the closet and in the open.

Dan's widened and looked at him in pity. "You look awful." Jack chuckled, "Gee thanks." He smirked.

Dan waved his hands around. "I didn't mean it like that, I mean, I meant-" He sighed and rubbed the back of his head. "Do you have anywhere to stay?" Jack shrugged.

"If you count a cold alleyway with two other kids a place to stay, then yeah, I'm good." Dan looked at him sadly.

Jack looked down, now saying it out loud it really is heartbreaking. He rubbed his forearm.

"Totally okay..." He mumbled. Dan looked at Jack's arm, seeing a tattoo on his wrist, a semi-colon tattoo.

Dan looked sadder after that, then he did something only Jay and Joshua did to Jack, he opened his arms, silently asking if its okay to hug Jack.

Jack nodded softly and was embraced by this kind man. Everything after that hit Jack like a train.

He shook in Dan's arms, breaking down and holding onto Dan, spewing out 'thank you's and apologies.

Dan just rubbed the boy's back, mumbling an 'it's okay' every now and then. Soon Jack backed away, wiping his eyes and smiling softly.

"Thanks... Sorry about your sweater.." Dan just waved his hand.

"It's okay..."

"Jack." He smiled and nodded.

"It's okay Jack, I have a lot more. I'm Dan, by the way." Jack nodded.

But then, Dan's phone rang. Dan mumbled something then answered it.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Dan! I'm on my way up in the elevator. See you soon!" Dan quickly looked at Jack, Jack nodded.

"Alright, and I have something to show you when you get here. Bye, Phil."

Phil's in for a treat, sorry if I wrote Dan wrong by the way, I'm not that good at this. ~ Jay
