Hi, beautiful people!I hope you're enjoying the book so far,let me know your thoughts on it though, it'll help me improve so much, thanks I love you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

************************************Sitting on the bed that has been his comfort for the past twelve years,not this particular one though but every prison bed was the same anyways,he was reading one of the books he had received from the agency taking care of his boy,they had offered to help but he had refused,he had his plans and that includes bringing his uncle to justice,either killing him by himself or  the law taking it's full course,a soft curse made him lift his head,

Smith was rubbing his head and grimacing in pain, Derek could not help the smile that came to his lips,the boy frowned"ahh,funny right?I just bumped my head,why do you think it's funny?"he swung his thin legs down the bed as he prepared to jump, Derek quickly stood up, lifting him without stress and placing him gently on the ground"You bump your head because you sleep like it's your father's house,try being conscious of where you are and see if you'll not stop bumping your head"he went back to his book"thank you Prof."the boy saluted"and don't lift me again I'm not a child"Derek looked at him for awhile and shook his head"how old are you?well I'm just scared you would break your bones if you jumped from that height,your legs are so thin"the look of shock on the boys face so horrible and funny at the same time, Derek could not control his laughter"stop laughing this instant"-"or what young prince?,you can not make me kneel,this is not your palace"the boy made a frustrated sign before leaning on the wall,he yawned, Derek passed him chocolate bar"aw thanks,I am starving"Derek shook his head,the boy eats what can effectively feed three people and still says he's not full plus he remains as thin as a broom stick,he wondered where all the food goes,as if reading his mind the boy suddenly spoke"every food I eat goes to my brain not my body,that is why I'm smart"-"what?you're obviously dumb and your brain is lazy"-"Enough"the boy yelled,

Derek smiled and went back to reading his book, looking at the boy made him Remember his twelve old self,the day he was given to his uncle,his uncle had always wanted him to come stay with him but he was not comfortable around the man he had refused,then his mother suddenly went missing when he turned Ten,it was like everything was turning upside down, feeding was hard,his elder sister had to drop out of school,his father was worse only drinking from morning till the next morning and beating him anytime he felt frustrated and looked for something to take out his anger on,then finally his uncle came for him when he turned twelve,he could still remember the meeting, it was a part of him,feels like a second skin too

~~~~~~~~~~
The rain was a drizzle in the early morning but it was pouring now,his uncle stood at their door post talking to his father after a few exchange they both came into the house,Derek stood at the entrance of the kitchen a sinking feeling settling in the pit of his stomach the moment the man looked at him,his father called him, Derek had a black eye which he tried all his efforts to hide

"Go call Estella here,I need to speak to the both of you"Derek left,his feet heavy as he took the stairs to go find his sister, she was in her room,eyes swollen and tears obviously falling from her eyes"Papa wants you,stop crying"he took a napkin and dabbed her eyes"his sister suddenly broke down into heavy sobs and pulled him into a tight bone crushing hug"you're killing me,stop hugging"she released him but held his shoulder"Derek, promise me that what ever happens you will never stop being happy,you will be strong and overcome it, promise me you will be a man and take anything that comes your way"he looked at her and nodded

"I promise,now come before Papa comes calling"he pulled her up,her big belly was already so obvious,her gown no longer did the job of hiding the bump,she was raped but his father did not believe it,he called her names and since then when he needs a reason to beat her he beats Derek instead,they both went downstairs,the moment they  faced their father he hissed and the distaste in his heart was so obvious"sit"he commanded"they both sat,as young as Derek was he was his sister's comfort,he held her hands and squeezed as they waited for the news to come,their father looked at them before continuing to speak

"I am not going to waste my time trying to explain or give reasons, anything I say now is final and anybody that goes against it will not have it funny,You Estella, you're eighteen and already planning on motherhood, taking care of yourself under my roof his taking up all of my resources,so I've made a decision,one less mouth to feed means a slice of fresh air and freedom"Derek swallowed, already dreading the end of the conversation,he looked up as his father continued"so I've made up my mind that you Derek will be going to stay with your uncle Robin for now,he will take care of your feeling, clothing and necessities you just have to in turn do some chores for him in return for his kindness"e raised his finger to silence Estella who was trying to speak and faced Derek as he continued to speak"you're not permitted to run back when you feel like, you're not allowed to come visiting when we miss you which I doubt will ever happen,we will come see you"

Derek looked at the man that was called his uncle and fear passed through him,making him shiver,there was no room for him and his sister to say a word,his father collected an envelope from Robin,he opened it and smiled,they both shake hands and Derek was hurried to go pack his things while his sister sat there receiving heart breaking lectures, Derek did not have much to pack,just few clothes,his sister hugged him again crying so much he began to worry for the baby,he hugged her back and promised to be fine and so he had left his father and sister to go live with his uncle

~~~~~~~~~'
A small tap pulled him out of his reverie"are you okay?"Smith hovered in front of him, Derek nodded "yea,peachy"he laid down back on the bed,he closed his eyes and did what he had been doing since he was twelve, blocking the whole world out of his mind
