Off The Deep End || A Weeknd Fanfic

Tears of Pain

Sarabis Pov:

"What's your name?"

"Isaiah. And I'm 7. " He smiled as he kicked off his shoes and began to dump the rest of the toys out of his backpack.

All of a sudden Abel emerged from the kitchen and his face lit up.

"You live with the weekender?!"

"Wassup lil man. Its The Weeknd but you can call me Abel." He smiled as he crouched in front of him.

"So how did you get here?"

"I walked. Can I have some juice?"

"Sure. Tell me what happened." I said as grabbed his hand and we all went back to the kitchen.

I sat him on the stool and fixed him graham crackers and apple juice.

After the first sip and a cracker, he began to tell us everything.

"I was playing with iron man when my mommy came in my room and told me to hide in the closet. She told me not to come out until it was quiet and to go to the address on the paper I found."

"Why did she hide you? What was happening?" I asked curiously.

I couldn't help but think someone who hated my dad was the blame for all of this.

"I heard voices downstairs after she left back out and yelling but then I heard pop sounds and it went away."

My heart immediately dropped when I realized the pops were probably gunshots.

 

"Okay, what happened next? Did you see anything?"

"I packed iron man, hulk, black panther, and Batman in my backpack and ran  out out the back door. I was gonna get mommy but I was too scared to go past the mean man outside her door. She's gonna be mad at me." He started to sniff.

I pulled him onto my lap and wiped his tears away.

"She's not gonna be mad. In fact I bet she's very proud of you for remembering what she said and being so brave."

I tried my best to hold back my emotions as he sobbed in my arms.

I felt like he knew something was wrong despite what I had just told him.

After he calmed down he explained how to get back to the house the best he could.

Turns out my father knew where I was all these years because he lived only 15 minutes away from my old house with Moe.

"He's been this close all along." I whispered to myself as the truck came to a stop.

I was about to get out when Abel suddenly reached over and pulled the door back closed.

"I'm not risking you or him getting hurt if the people are still in there." He said sternly as he gestured towards Isaiah sound asleep in the back seat.

"Stay here with him while I go look for the mom. If I'm not back in 10 leave and go get help."

I nodded understandingly as I watched him grab his gun and jog up the driveway.
