What I tell you stays between us- Chapter 7

*TW-swears and abuse*

Reggie's POV

It's not like me to leave school and not go straight home, well I guess it's not like me to leave school in general but today I couldn't help it. I had too many thoughts circling my head driving me crazy. It was hard enough getting out of bed this morning, but then I had to walk to school, and then sit in these classes where teachers talk and talk about this shit we don't actually need. I couldn't help myself but leave. I really wanted to go home but I couldn't bear to see my fathers smug face right now. Not after what happened this weekend. After the incident on Friday night I feel like things just fell apart...

Flashback to Saturday Morning

Reggie's POV

I woke up to see Jacob and Sarah cuddling up on my bed. My back was a little sore from sleeping on the floor but they looked so peaceful I didn't even regret it. I looked at the clock to see it was only 8:00, my dad should be up soon. I decided to go downstairs to make some breakfast because I knew when my dad woke up he would be hungry and when he's hungry he's normally angry. When I walked downstairs I turned the corner to see my mom snuggled up on the sofa. "Wow, my dad's such a gentleman, letting her take the couch after a fight." I rolled my eyes and scoffed. I tried my best to make breakfast as quiet as possible. My mom deserves to sleep after everything my dad puts her through. I know it takes two to fight but trust me, she's always right. I decided just to whip up some eggs because I was too tired to make a complex meal. Luckily he came downstairs as soon as I finished putting his food out on the table.

He walked up to the table then looked at me with an annoyed look on his face "eggs again?" He started off quiet but as he continued speaking his volume rose "you're too damn lazy to make bacon, or pancakes?" He looked down at the eggs that I sat In front of him and flipped the plate sending the eggs flying all over the table. I wanted to say something, tell him to calm down before he hurts someone, but before I knew it he was picking up the plate and chucking it past my head. The plate slammed against the wall beside me sending pieces of it flying all over the kitchen, and one into my arm. I was in shock. Did he just try to throw that at me or was he just trying to scare me? Either way I couldn't stay in that room with him any longer.

End Flashback

Still Reggie's POV

"Reggie?" I hear a voice across the restaurant yell. I look up to see Logan, Bobby's brother, and a few of his friends. "What are you doing here, you should be at school?"

I gave him a quick not so real smile "I guess I just needed time to think". I laid my head back down on the table hoping they would go away. Logan turned to his friends and gave them a look so they would leave. He sat down across from me for a while, not saying a word. "Do you need something?" I asked with quite a bit of sass.

"It's not like you to leave school and it's definitely not like you to think" he smirked a little as he said that. I couldn't help myself but to let out a little chuckle. He got quite for a moment "Seriously Reg, what's up? You can talk to me. If you want I won't tell my brother, I'm a locked box I promise."

I looked at him and considered it for a moment. Then I went quiet. How do you tell someone that your dad has left scars and bruises on your body? Exactly you can't. I lifted my head up and put my arm on the table. I pulled up my Sleeve to reveal a deep cut and a couple bruises. "My dad threw a plate at the wall and a piece of it got me. The bruises are just from me getting in the middle of my parents fighting." I mumbled under my breath.

"Reggie your dad did this to you?" Logan gave me one of those looks. The 'I know your not okay' looks that I hate. I nodded slowly.

"Please don't tell anyone about this. I'm trying to figure something out. A way me and my siblings can get away from it all. Just please give a little while."

Logan looked at me for a moment. "You're a good older brother, great even. Definitely better than I've ever been." He gave me a quick smile then continued "I promise I won't tell anyone, not until you're ready" he got up and gave me a pat on my back as he walked away. I've been so used to being the older brother, it was nice to be the younger one for once.
