Tanjiro POV

I didn't want to leave the hospital. Nezuko was in the car and I knew what she had done. She told them that I kissed another boy and that I was at the hospital.

I bit back crying and I looked away. It was silent the whole way back to my house. I got out of the car and walked into the house. I waited to be beat. I knew it was coming, I just didn't know when.

Brett, Shelby, and Nezuko went into the house first. Brett whispered something to Shelby and she went to my room. I gulped. Brett points to Nezuko's room. Nezuko quickly ran to her room and shut the door.

I was terrified of what was gonna happen. Shelby came back out of my room. He grabbed the back of my shirt and tugged me into my room.

I closed my eyes, afraid of what I was gonna see. "Open your eyes!" Brett said forcefully. I slowly opened my eyes and what I saw was unbearable to see. They had pictures of Zenitsu and me kissing all over the place. I gasped silently. Brett chuckled. I whimpered. "This is what you've been doing with that boy huh." he said. I couldn't speak. I couldn't move. I couldn't do anything.

"Huh!" he yelled as he tugged my hair forward. I shut my eyes. "You little faggot!" Those words stung but they didn't surprise me.

Suddenly he grabbed the back of my neck and led me toward the living room. There I saw some rope and a short steak knife. All the possible scenarios were going through my head.

He's gonna kill me. Or torture me. I silently pleaded that this was a bad dream. I saw Nezuko peek outside her room but so did Shelby. She grabbed a key and slammed the door, locking it.

I could hear whimpering from the other side of it. I took a deep breath. I took a blow to the face. I hit the hard ground and I felt as though I got got hammered in the chest. I screamed. Then there was tape on my mouth. Brett's knees were on my wrists pinning me down. He tied the rope onto one of my wrists and then the other.

Above him I saw what looked like a pole on the ceiling. He hoisted me up and through the rope around it. He tugged to make sure it was sturdy then he tied it down to a hook that was placed in the floor. I whimpered quietly. Brett tugged on the rope and I yelped. He chuckled.

"This will teach you a lesson. He grabbed the knife and slid it under my chin lifting my chin. I tried to plead but it was no use. He put the knife on one of my arms and sliced my arm. I screamed through the tape.

He did the same to the other arm. I screamed again but it didn't matter. No one could hear me. Suddenly my shirt was lifted up and I felt a slice in my stomach. I gasped for air but I couldn't catch my breath. I could hear Nezuko screaming from inside her room, scratching at the door.

Then I heard Brett whisper in my ear, "Here's what's gonna happen, we're gonna go over to your boyfriend's house, and you are gonna break up with him." He said boyfriend and was disgusted. I nodded. He ripped the piece of tape off my mouth and said, "Say it. Say you'll break up with him."

In between breaths I answered, "I'll break up with him." "Good boy. Now let's go!" he yelled. He untied my hands and I fell to the floor. "GET UP!" he screamed again. I got up as fast as I could and I put my shirt back on.

I was barely able to focus on the door but I kept my composure. I rung the doorbell and Zenitsu came to the door. My car was parked right at the curb the windows open and everything.

"Zenitsu. I-am breaking up with you." I said solemnly. "What?! Wait! But-''''Zenitsu please don't make this harder than it has to be." I said out of breath. Zenitsu grabbed my shoulders and held me back. I struggled against him and said, "I'm sorry Zenitsu. This is how it has to be." I struggled to say.

Zenitsu was sobbing and I couldn't bear it. I squeezed my eyes shut and began to say something. Brett began to get out of the car and walk over to us. "Zenitsu. Call the police. NOW! Run!" I screamed as I pushed him out of the way. Brett came running up to me and stabbed me in the stomach. He grabbed me like a sack of potatoes and threw me in the car.

"Tanjiro!!" "Zenitsu find Nezuko!!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. Just then Shelby got into the back seat and held me down. I tried to fight back but I was too weak. She had a cloth on my mouth and nose.

It's... Sed...at...i...

Zenitsu POV

"Tanjiro!!!!!!!! Noooo!!!!!!!!!!!. Gramps!!!!!" I screamed as I ran after the car. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! TANJIRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Gramps came running out gun in hand. He saw me running after the car and chased me down. He tackled me to the ground.

"No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let me go!!!!!!!!!!! I have to save him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I screamed and kicked. Gramps didn't let up he just held me there.

"We'll save him Zenitsu! I promise! Right now you don't have the strength!" he told me. "Yes I do, I need to save him!!!! Please!!!!!!!!!!!!"
