The Rope to Hell

Not Again

After a long day of working in the farm shoveling, grabbing, and lifting things, I got home without food and went to sleep. My brother was on the other bed crying about how it's so hard to shovel, he doesn't know what happens when he's not around. I said, " At least you get paid right?" He nodded and he went to sleep while I was cringing in pain, my back had a cut in it my arms were injured by knives, my whole body was gulping I was sitting there waiting for a time to get up. But I just crashed to sleep.
I woke up "GET YOUR ASS UP!" I turned around and moaned. My mom gets back in a few days at least it won't be so bad at her house. As bad as Maneo is he won't do this, I won't let him. I'm staying for my brother not for myself. I heard a match, i know that sound very well. He had a rope in his hand and hit me with it. I fell back asleep, and woke up and saw a flame in my bedroom, I reached across and grabbed my water glass, and poured it on it. He was trying to hurt me because he tied me to the bed from my waist down. I untied myself, "Where the fuck is Jaek". Dad, "Oh he's going to pick his stuff up." " What stuff? I mean you fucking lite me on fire you asshole." "Yea oops, you're not even my son anyways right?" "Dad I'm here for a reason stop pulling this shit." I walk out to get my brother he shoots me with a babe gun and i fall down. I woke up bleeding my whole body is red I'm lightheaded and can't breathe. I clean myself up fall and just lay bleeding on the floor. Jaek " Josh, what the hell happened to you." "Skateboarding accident, always wear a helmet." "Really Josh? I don't need to hear this what's going on?" "I FELL OFF MY FUCKING SKATEBOARD SHUTUP." "Fine, I'll be at the beach let me know..." "Go please I need to rest." "Should I call...." "No get out and go do something." He walked away and I cringed my dad left with him they both went surfing, I got up and cleaned myself up everything stringed my burns, cuts, scabs, infections, and my hunger. I ate mc Donald's and drank water and cleaned up. When they got back they were talking about there awesome experiences. "Josh get me a towel." "Yes maid." I threw him a red towel and gave my brother a brown one. Walked in and slept. I got up the next day, "How are you doing at your dad's?" "Great mom, we did a lot today." "You don't sound okay." "I'm fine just go travel have fun, bye." She hung up the phone. My dad walked in "YOUR FUCKING MOM CALLED ME TO ASK WHAT I WAS DOING TO YOU!" "I didn't tell her shit i promise." " Get out here and do work before i light your ass on fire again." I barely could walk and when I got outside he told me to clean this place up. I looked around it was full of alcohol and drugs,
I walked around found a lighter and a pack of cigarettes put it in my pocket and left. I did the cleaning and when I was done I jumped over the fence and ran away went to the beach and lite five cigarettes. It took the pain away and i just slept knowing I was calm. Two hours later I got dragged into my dad's, "JOSH WHY DID YOU LEAVE THE DAMN HOUSE?" 'I'm tired and needed rest, let me go home okay?" I grabbed my stuff left and told Jaek to go back to his moms while I'm gone.
I got home I had hell's pain on my body I went into the liquor cabinet drank half the bottle, closed it shut and locked my door and passed out. When i got up, my mom was home she was knocking for hours, "Yes mom?" "Josh what are you doing in there?" ",Relaxing, resting, I'm tired." "Open up!" I drank soap and walked out "Hey mom yes?" "Why the hell are you wearing long sleeved shirts in the summertime!" I like to sweat" "Alrighty, go to sleep." I went back in bed and saw a text. " Josh, I was wondering if you wanted to cruise, I have some stuff to show you." I snuck out and met him. "So bro I got weed for you, i know shits hard so yea..." I took a drag and got all bline." "You know I'm not proud of this right? I'm trying to get good grades in school AOP is a bitch and yea my house is another problem." "What will you do?" "I'm going to do drugs to make sure I don't die it eases my pain like Advil never will." He gave me a quart of the stuff and left me. "See you at school?" "Yea bro I will." I ran home. My mom was at yoga Maneo came over to me. "Think you're all tough you dipshit?" "Stop please." "He punched me and I fell down and never got back up". I was twelve.
