Broken Child

Rey

I never knew the meaning of a family.  Ever since I was a kid. All I knew was to do what I'm told. To follow orders.  To obey. Nothing more.
I knew that I had to earn my food, my water, and that I should thank master for giving them to me.
I only knew that crying was wrong,  saying 'no' was wrong, being bad was wrong, struggling and fighting were wrong
Everything thing I did was wrong  tho I tried. I tried hard to please him. I tried hard to please him so that he can maybe accept me, maybe love me, just for a bit , I'd take all of punishment and the breathing, the torture and rape. I can take that. If he could just love me for a bit. But he said it crystal clear that I dont deserve to be loved. I'm not someone who is deserving of love and care. I'm not even a someone, I'm jut a something. Nothing more that an object kept in the basement to be played with and then tossed.
I never complained. I never will. I grew up like this, I grew up weak, scared of the world, hopeless and submissive.
I grew up in need of someone to just look at me and treat me just as little as they treat their pets. Nothing more.

Andy gave his money to the cashier who was looking right at him, at his eyes.
"H-ere the change, h-have a good day she said. Tho she kept looking at him. Is it him, she could never forget those eyes. It was him.

"Th-thank you" he whispered back at her.

She watched him leaving, she couldnt let it go " Casey, could you please take my place for a bit,  I'll be right back" she said and she ran after him

"Hey, Excuse me, wait"she yelled.
He turned to her found her behind him
Taking deep breaths.
"Y-yes?" He said
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry to bother you but. I um... I think I know you."
He looked at the old woman facing him cocking his head in confusion.
"You... know m-me?"
She nodded eagerly her eyes wide with unshed tears
"Yes.. yes I do .. I... you are.. you.." she took a deep breath while Andy still waiting for her to speak. Confused and worried. How can this beautiful woman know someone like him. Andy was never around too many people.  The only people he knows were Alex and jolly.

"You are .. Philips's son.. John Phillips's son " she said .
Unconsciously Andy took a step back, shaking his head.
"I..I dont.. know..what you mean..  I'm so-sorry.." he whispered quickly turning to leave. But before he could take more steps she held his arm.

" i can never forget those eyes of yours . I was always amazed by them. Ever since you were brought to me when you were just a small baby... I fell in love with you the second you were in my arms, before he took you from me." She said with her tears falling.
"I.. I held you.. fed you.. I.. I even gave you a name... Remember ? I...I tried .. taking care of you. But he wouldn't let me....."

...

"Shshsh baby, everything will be okay. I will protect you baby.. shshshs"

She flinched when she heard the front door slam shut,  she quickly put the baby down and wipped her tears. Careful with her new black eye.

"Where is the food ?" The man said looking at her up and down, disgusted with her very existence.
"O..on the table?" She stuttered. Trying to hide the small boy behind her.
He looked at her shaking form, and then at the little boy behind her legs. And as he took step closer to her she took a step back shielding the little soul behind her
"Did you feed the filthy thing again woman?"

"N-no.. no I...I didnt..."
And with in a second she was on the ground holding her cheek that burned like hell .
"Fucking bitch I told you not to feed this damn thing didnt I ? " he said furious looking down at her "DIDNT I ?" He yelled , the telling and the cursing made the little boy cry harder.
Witch made the monster gets more furious. He held the small soul from his weak skinny little arm and went down dragging him to the dark basement and threw the little boy without a care.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP" he yelled, Throwing kicks at the small boy. Cursing and spitting at him.

Everytime the monster leaves. She would sneak down the basement and feed the child with little she had, to not make it obvious. And everytime he finds out, she would get a beating for disobeying him. And so as the boy would take a beating simply for existing.

"Baby.. you have such a beautiful eyes...oh how about I give a name.. I cant just keep calling baby right..." she said giggling with the boy on her lap looking at her with a curious face.
"How about....umm... Ron..No no not cute.. umm how about.. lay...kay...oh Rey..  how about rey..." she talked as if she was waiting for a response but there was never one. She nodded her head smiling at him.. the boy smiled back at her. She took that as a yes.. " ow... Rey it is then huh... my beautiful Rey.."

Days went by. With the same routine

I brought you some food " the petite woman whispered as she gave the boy a piece of bred and cheese

"Come on and eat before he comes come on "
the woman cut the bred to tiny pieces and fed the child

"I'll bring you more food tomorrow okay .. Get some rest "

The food was never enough tho. The boy was almost three. Yet he looked like a one year old child. He was weak and pale. He still didnt know how to walk properly. He still didnt speak.
The monster made sure of keeping him weak. To easily control him. And beat him.

Days go by...

"H-hey sweety ..oh god what did he to you " the woman cried as she examined the little boy , tears were frealy running down her face , her bruised face , the little boy reached to wipe some of it with his tiny bruised hands , he then opened his mouth and pointed to his tumy with a little soumd "ah"
The woman's silent tears turned to sobs and whines not really knowing what to do. She was caught again sneaking food for him, and the monster was more cruel then ever, he beat her so bad she coulndt stand for days.

"I know its been four days I- I am so -so sorry Rey I dont have food I uuh I..."

She wiped her tears with the back of her trembling hands
"Rey.. I - I'm leaving I am so - s-so sorry I can't take it anymore I can't...b-but listen I promise I 'll go to your m-mother and I will tell her everything and she - she'll come for you...I'll tell the police.. they will come for you... I wish I can take you.. "

She knew that he didn't understand a word she said , she just needed to leave she looked at him one last time and turned and right before closing the door she heard a small

"maamuh" ...
