2:07
this one favor but Jake's done
2:11
sorry doesn't fix what you did," he says
2:14
and hangs up the silence in the room
2:16
feels heavy like his past just came
2:19
crashing back let's rewind to when Jake
2:21
was a kid life was straight up magical
2:24
back then like something out of a happy
2:26
movie jake his mom and his dad lived in
2:29
a small rented house nothing fancy but
2:32
it was home his mom was like a burst of
2:35
sunshine always laughing telling stories
2:38
making every day feel special his dad
2:41
was the fun one playing board games
2:44
teaching Jake how to toss a football
2:47
their house was a cozy bubble of love
2:49
and adventure
2:51
every night felt like a warm happy dream
2:54
but when Jake was nine everything
2:56
shattered
2:57
his mom passed away suddenly the house
3:00
went from lively and warm to quiet and
3:02
sad
3:04
walking through it felt like stepping on
3:06
memories of her
3:08
jake and his dad were both torn up but
3:10
his dad seemed to move on way too fast
3:13
just a few months later he brought home
3:15
a woman named Carla
3:17
"jake this is Carla she's going to live
3:20
with us," he said his voice flat missing
3:23
its usual warmth
3:25
jake looked at her hoping for some kind
3:27
of momlike vibe but Carla's eyes were
3:29
cold her smile fake right away Jake knew
3:32
she was bad news carla's presence
3:34
drained the life out of the house it was
3:37
like even the walls hated her being
3:39
there jake tried to find something
3:42
anything to like about her but every
3:45
move she made felt off her glances her
3:48
forced smiles they screamed she didn't
3:51
want Jake around she wasn't there to
3:54
fill his mom's shoes she wanted to
3:56
rewrite the story with Jake erased
3:59
the way she stared at him like she was
4:01
hiding something nasty made his gut
4:03
twist living with Carla was like being
4:05
trapped in a nightmare simple things
4:08
like breakfast turned into a fight one
4:11
morning Jake's eggs were so salty they
4:13
were gross "carla did you mess this up?"
4:16
he asked nervous she smirked "oops must
4:20
have slipped "eat it anyway Jake don't
4:23
be a brat." Stuff like that kept
4:26
happening one day his favorite shirt
4:28
came out of the wash faded and trashed
4:31
"what happened to my clothes?" he asked
4:33
holding up the ruined shirt carla just
4:35
shrugged maybe the washer's acting up or
4:39
maybe it's time to ditch that kid stuff
4:41
jake was furious but helpless he went to
4:44
his dad voice shaking dad Carla's
4:47
ruining my things she's always mean but
4:50
his dad shut him down jake you're
4:53
imagining things carla's trying to fit
4:56
in stop causing trouble
4:58
those words cut like a knife the home
5:01
that used to feel safe now felt like a
5:03
trap things got worse carla's meanness
5:06
wasn't just words anymore she started
5:09
hurting Jake pinches on his arm twists
5:12
on his stomach always where no one could
5:14
see he'd tried to avoid her take the
5:17
long way to his room but she'd find a
5:20
way one day while he was reading she
5:23
walked in and pinched his arm so hard
5:25
her nails left marks he bit his lip to
5:28
keep from crying out she smirked like
5:31
she'd won some twisted game and walked
5:34
off during a rare visit from his grandma
5:37
she noticed Jake flinch when Carla's
5:39
voice echoed through the house
5:41
"jake is everything okay at home?" she
5:44
asked her eyes full of worry jake wanted
5:47
to spill it all but fear held him back
5:50
"yeah Grandma just school stress," he
5:52
lied forcing a smile he felt awful but
5:55
he didn't want to drag her into his mess
5:57
school was Jake's only escape but even
5:59
there his pain started to show his
6:02
teacher Mr harris a guy who always had a
6:04
kind word noticed Jake wasn't himself
6:08
one day he saw bruises on Jake's arm
6:11
"jake what's this these look bad," he
6:14
said worried jake yanked his sleeve down
6:17
"just fell playing," he mumbled avoiding
6:19
eye contact mr harris wasn't buying it
6:23
if someone's hurting you you can tell me
6:25
you're not alone he said his voice
6:27
steady jake wanted to tell him about
6:30
Carla the fear all of it but the words
6:33
wouldn't come i'm fine really he said
6:36
lying again mr harris's kindness made it
6:40
harder to keep it all bottled up but
6:42
Jake was too scared to open up mr harris
6:44
didn't let it go though he called Jake's
6:47
dad to school jake sat in the
6:49
principal's office heart racing his dad
6:52
stormed in looking annoyed "what's this
6:55
about Jake?" he barked jake stammered
6:58
"mr harris saw my bruises." Before he
7:01
could say more his dad cut him off "you
7:04
making up stories now?" Mr harris
7:07
stepped in calm but firm "mr thompson
7:10
these don't look like accidents we need
7:12
to talk about this."
7:14
Jake's dad got angrier he's fine at home
7:18
jake you talking trash about our family
7:22
jake's eyes stung with tears "it's Carla
7:25
she's hurting me," he blurted out "but
7:27
his dad wouldn't believe him." "That's
7:29
nonsense carla's good to you." He made
7:32
Jake tell Mr harris it was all a lie
7:35
back home his dad locked Jake in his
7:38
room through the door Jake's fake
7:41
concern he's just acting out for
7:43
attention jake felt more alone than ever
7:46
those days were brutal but Jake had one
7:49
lifeline his grandma one night when he
7:52
was distracted and Carla was distracted
7:54
he made a quick call to her grandma
7:57
"grandma it's Jake," he whispered voice
8:00
shaking "i need you can I stay with
8:02
you?" She didn't hesitate "what's wrong
8:06
kiddo?" she asked her voice full of care
8:10
jake broke down the tears coming hard
8:12
"carla's been hurting me and dad won't
8:14
believe me." The next morning his
8:16
grandma showed up like a total badass
8:19
she was tiny but she owned that room
8:22
"i'm taking Jake he's not safe here,"
8:24
she told Jake's dad he tried to argue
8:27
"mom he's my son." But she shut him down
8:30
hard your son who you didn't protect
8:34
carla tried her usual lies but Grandma
8:36
wasn't fooled i see a scared kid stop me
8:40
and I'm calling the cops
8:42
jake grabbed his stuff and they got out
8:44

8:48
