Secrets

Part 9

The boys don't bring the panic attack up to Louis and they act like nothing happened, for Louis sake. They let him know that they have scheduled an appointment with Kimberly in two days and Drew is happy to pick him up from school and take him. Louis doesn't respond much, just agrees.

When it's time to go home, Andy, Edward and Drew drive Louis, he says good buy to Scott and Harry and Louis tries not feel, tries not to think about how much he's going to miss them and that he doesn't want to leave.

Louis tries to control his breathing as they get closer to the house, tries to hold himself together in front of the boys, they notice Louis acting distressed and keep an eye on him.

His dad is waiting In the kitchen for him and Louis first instinct is to run, he suppresses it though, he goes along with his dads act, as he pretends to have missed Louis, hugs him, hugs the boys, smiles. Louis has to stop himself throwing up.

The boys buy it all and they all chat in the kitchen, they just have no idea.

"So dad Louis needs these antibiotics twice a day for another week, just to make sure his infection clears up completely" Drew says

The boys finish their coffee and get up to leave

"Of course, no problem, I'll look after him" Troy says

The boys nod and smile

"We've booked him another appointment with Kimberly for Tuesday, I'll pick him up from school and take him" Drew says

"Are you sure? Thanks D, that would be great" Troy says

"Yeah, of course no problem" Drew says

The boys are grateful Troy seems to be a little more open to Louis seeing Kimberly

"Thanks, I just want Louis to get the help he needs, I don't think I could go through what happened again" Troy says and Louis has to hold back his tears and anger

"We know dad, it's okay, we're always here for you and Louis" Andy says

Troy nods in thanks and the boys go to leave. They kiss and hug Louis goodbye, promising to see him soon. Louis doesn't miss the way his dad evilly eyes him, the way he smirks at Louis when he makes eye contact. Louis is scared.

As the boys leave, Louis watches them leave the kitchen, leave the house, leave the driveway and leave him all alone with his dad. Louis gut churns with anxiety, he's so scared

Just as Louis suspected his dad turns as soon as the boys are gone. Louis gets pushed against the kitchen wall, hitting his shoulder and the side of his head hard. Troy grabs Louis shoulder and twists it harshly. Troy has dislocated Louis shoulder many times so it pops out of the socket easily, the pain is always the same though, nearly unbearable.

"You're a worthless piece of shit Louis, the fact your brothers care about you is laughable. I will see to it they never want to be around you again" Troy says as he grips Louis harder and pushes him into the wall. Louis screams out in pain

"Shut it you little shit, if you think you're going to take this medicine everyday, you've got another thing coming. I'm pouring them down the toilet. You don't deserve them" Troy spits

"I've got a weeks worth of frustrations to take out on you Louis, and you're going to wish you had died in that emergency, like I fucking hoped you would" Troy spits

Louis tears just fall down his face, he's used to the words, used to the pain, he knows it all to well but he can't find the strength to be okay with it all.

Troy gives Louis a few bruises like normal and when he finally leaves Louis alone, he's broken.

Louis scrambles to his room and locks his door. His dad won't come into his room for the rest of the night, he knows that. Louis heads to the shower and his pain is so bad, his shoulder so sore he has trouble undressing. He just breaks on the shower alone. As much as he thought he could handle coming home, he just can't. He doesn't know what he's supposed to do and he actually wishes he had died in the emergency room, then at least the pain would all be gone .
