TW ABUSE

George's pov

I wait a little while for the pills to kick in then slowly take a bite from my pancake, the only thing that flows through my mind is food.

Not because I'm hungry.

But I quickly forget that and listen to clays talking.

Hearing his voice is calming.

"Have you been on a rollercoaster" I shake my head, "they're scary, don't go on one" he says, I laugh, "they look fun, I always wanted to go on one as a kid" I say earing my pancake.

"Did you ask your parents?" He asks, I nod slowly remembering exactly what happened that night.

"What'd they say?" He asks, "no" I answer.

~Memory~ (George is 6 in this)

I walk downstairs to my parents who are sitting on the couch watching TV.

I walk into the living room, they ignore me as I do.

"Can I go on a Rollercoaster?" I ask excited.

My dad looks at me, he gets up and walks over to my small figure and towers over me.

He slaps me a across the face hard, my face burns from his hand, then he kicks my hard across the room.

"Get the fuck out you brat" he yells then storms upstairs leaving me crying on the ground.

"George?" I hear clay say, I quickly look at him, "sorry, just thinking" I say and stare into his green eyes that study my face.

He seems unsure.

"About what?" He asks, "this time when me and my bestfriend Wilbur snuck into the staff room in highschool and totally loaded there coffee with soap" I lie, laughing a little he does too.

"Did you get caught?" Clay says, "yes, we got detention for 2 weeks after school, I actually liked the detention though" I shrug taking a bite out of a pancake.

"What'd you do?" He asks.

"We just cleaned the classrooms and shit" I say, "why would you like that?" He laughs.

The real answer is 'because i got to be somewhere other then home' but I can't say that.

"I don't know" I shrug lying again.

"I got suspended from school 2 times" clay says, "What'd you do?" I ask.

"I was like sorta the popular hot boy in school so I mean I like beat up like so many kids cuase I thought I was better then everyone" he says.

"I could imagine you being that sort of kid" I say, he laughs, "your kinda intimating, I mean mostly because your a lot bigger then me, but I feel like if I saw you in highschool I would probably be very scared" I say, he laughs.

"Modt people were scared of me, except for the girls-"

"I bet they drawled over you in the hallways" I say sarcastically, he laughs.

"Who wouldn't?" He jokes, i laugh.
