Jayden had half expected Jesse to yell at him, considering he had been gone for so long. But here his brother was, offering him food like he deserved it.
"Uhm. Can I sit here for a few more minutes?" Jayden asked, actually kind of worried Jesse might say no. Jayden felt like the heat was honestly the only thing keeping him grounded right now. He hardly wanted to face the family he'd run from, and only the threat of being beaten could have brought him here. "I'm just- I thought I might get beat up so I ran and I didn't have time to get my stuff." The Kemps would probably just throw it out onto the street.
