You've got to hold on.

Jacks POV

I felt better once I gave Alex the pizza and coffee.
When I got home it was late and mother was waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs.
"Where the fucking hell have you been!? Its nearly 1 in the morning and its bloody freezing outside and its a school night. What example are you showing to your brothers and sisters." She whispered shouted at me.
"Went to help a homeless boy. Technically their not my brothers or sisters." I said and mum clipped round the back of the head with her hand.
"You should of fucking called me Jack Bassam Barakat. And I don't give a shit they are under this rood and so are you so they are family." She ranted and grabbed my arm and dragged me to the kitchen so she could speak a little louder than the hallway.

"Mum I need to ask you a fucking huge favour." I said and sat on the side.
"Get down from there." Mum said.
"Come on, I'm your favourite after all and I'm the oldest so I'm allowed to get away with shit." I said.
Mum just rolled her eyes and lent against the side.
"What's this favour?" She asked and looked at me.
"This homeless boy, he has literally has no where to go, its fucking freezing out there. So if he really has to and that's only if he does because he like the sort of person who would rather freeze to death than go somewhere warm for the night." I said and mum looked at me.
"Basically your asking me if he can stay here. Jacky I don't know the house is full enough at the moment." She said.
"Mum, he's homeless and has no family. He's not like Lily, Jake, Alfie, Bandit and Alice who had their family but because their parents was cunts they was taken away from them. He has no one mum please." I said.
"Where would he stay? He can't have the sofa as that rowdy lot will have him up and asking questions about him." She said.
"Your idea you have four foster kids under the age of 8. He can stay with me. I bet he ain't even a gay boy either." I said as mum gave me a look she only gave me.
"Jacky I don't know. I don't know him and how can I trust him especially because of the kids. They are under protection Jack and you know that." She said.
"Mum I'm literary begging you and he might not even show up. I just want him to know that he has somewhere safe to stay for the night." I said.
"I'm only saying yes because you have school tomorrow and its late so get your ass to bed and be up by 7. You know the rules." She said.
"Aye aye captain." I said and got down from the side and kissed her cheek and went upstairs and crawled into bed.
