The Truth (Reggie Peters)

Chapter 1

Reggie's Pov: 

I climbed into my bedroom widow with a smile on my face like I usually do when I go the my friends' houses. I had looked up just to see me mother with a glass in her hand. She threw it at me than dragged me down stairs by my ear. 

"OWWWW MOM STOP YOUR HURTING ME "  I screamed.

My dad was sitting on the coach drunk as usual  and my mom had anger issues so they would always fight. This time the brought me in to it for sneaking away from it. My mom slapped me across my face and my dad punched me.

They sent me up to my room saying "your such a disgrace to this family"! 

I went upstairs and luckily I wouldn't have to explain this to my friends because it was a Friday night ad there was no school tomorrow. It hurt just to put my head on my pillow.

 I thought that everything would just go back to them fighting and leaving me out of it, well i was wrong my mother, called me down. This time they were both drunk and hitting there 13 year old son. "OwWaa" i shrieked as my mom kneed me in the ribs.

It went on for another 15 fifteen minuets. After the beating they both passed out on the coach. I went to the kitchen to see what time it was the clock read "9:08" I went upstairs and got dressed through my aches and pains.

I decided to Leave through my window just in case they woke up to the front door. I went to the person I trusted most...Julie. 

I climbed her tree in so much pain I knocked on her window as i saw her writing something in her song book. 

"Julie...Help"

Julie's Pov: 

I was writing a song and I heard a knock on my window i was just expecting a sad Reggie not this Reggie. "Julie...Help" he said softly holding his stomach in pain. I opened my window for him. 

"OMG... Reggie wha-" i was cut of by him falling to the floor I could hear my mom coming up the stairs. 

"Put me in the closet i don't want her to know" I nodded softly. I helped him in the closet and quietly put a water bottle on the floor just pretending that is what fell and not my best friend.

She knocked and opened the door. "Oh Julie you had me worried for a second it was just your water bottle" she said laughing as a smiled she closed the door. i made sure she was down stairs before I took Reggie out of my closet. 

"Come to the bathroom with me we have a first aid kit in there"

"ok..." he said as he walked he pain. I wrapped my arm around him for extra support, he looked at me and smiled. I noticed that he was still clenching himself like there was more he didn't tell me.

Once we made it to the bathroom I had him sit on the toilet seat and take his shirt off. At first he was hesitate to take his shirt off because he was hiding something from me, he did knowing I would have found out anyways. He had so many bruises on him i couldn't even count. He look down as if he had disrespected me. I put my hands under his chin lifting his face up "It will be ok someday okay" i said in a reassuring way. He smiled and nodded.

I took one last look at his stomach. I slowly brushed over wear it look like he had broken at least two ribs. He winced in pain as I did that, as more tears came down i just kept feeling worse for him.

"Reggie... I have to tell my parents". He looked at me as if i was crazy. "Julie please don- he was cut of my his own pain. Before I called them up to the bathroom I cleaned all of the blood off of Reggie, anytime I even just gently touched him he would wince in pain. What did they do to this happy little boy?

"Mami, Papi could you please come up to the bathroom i have to show you something" I said grasping Reggie's hand as he pulled it instantly, i could tell how much pain he was in mentally and physically. They knocked on the door and I told them to come in. 

I hoped you guys liked it it took me almost 3 and a half hours to write but what happens after the Molina's find out about what is happening to Reggie.
