TW: bruises, scars, abuse
Bruce and Vance decided to go to the carnival with the girls. they went on lots of rides. "Let's go on this one!" Vance had said "no. No way. I already get scared from the 'kitty rides'" "cmon brucee." "omg fine." they waited in line for 15 minuites. when it started. Bruce had been screaming. he held Vance's hand. Vance's face tinted a light red. he didn't know why he got excited, though. He didn't even like Bruce that way.
————————————————————————-
Vance's pov: "that was fun!" "no, it wasn't! We went upside down!" "Bruce that's not even bad." Lily had said. "shush!" they saw a man from a distance which looked like Vance's father. wait. it is. "uhm guys is it just me or is that my dad?!" "nonono that definitely your dad." "VANCE!" "uhm, hi dad." "I knew you were with this kid. You too Lily." they both didn't talk, until Vance said something. "how did you even find us?" "I asked Bruce's mother." "you went to my house again, you creep?" Bruce had said "get in the car. now." "no." "excuse me" his father said "I said no." Vance's dad dragged him in the car, along with Lily. "this man is out of his mind!" "brucey where is he taking them?!" Amy asked. "I don't know. but we're telling mom. Let's go"
"MOM!!" "yes hunny? what's wrong?" "Vance's dad is taking Lily and Vance somewhere and he's abusive we need to call the cops!" "hunny. You do not, joke about these things" "I'm not joking mom please!" Bruce was worried about them. "Vance's dad is my coworker. He would never, stop lying to me." "mom I swear please!" "go to your room." Bruce's mom didn't like him 'lying' to her. Even though he hadn't been lying. He had school tomorrow. He was worried to see Vance, he was hoping he wouldn't have bruises. In the morning, he got to school. he didn't see Vance with bruises, he didn't see Vance at all. He didn't come to school for two weeks.
another day, Bruce was expecting to not see Vance at school again. He knocked at Vance's door many times, but nothing. But when he got to school, Vance was there. he looked exhausted. he had scars and multiple bruises across his body "VANCE" he didn't answer. Vance wasn't talking much. "omg what happened?! I'm so sorry this is all my fault if I hadn't agreed to go you wouldn't be hurt I'm so so- Vance cut him off "Bruce. I don't care. it's not your fault." "is there anything I can do to help?" "no Bruce, I'm stuck with him. there's not- Vance fell to the ground. He had passed out. Bruce called a nurse right away. Bruce stayed with him until he woke up. "do you know why he passed out yet?" "yes. I think so. it could be from someone hurting him, punching him, cutting him, or even beating him. Do you know if anyone could have done this?" "uhm." Bruce didn't know what to say, Vance had said not to tell anyone. but he couldn't see him like this anymore. "Bruce, do you know something I don't?" "uhm.. yes. his dad.. uhm.." "what about his dad? What does he do?" "he hits him." "thank you Bruce for telling me."
It had been 3 hours. Vance finally woke up. "w-where am I? b-Bruce?" "it's just me Vance. You passed out." "O-oh." Vance was stuttering a lot. "Is it o-okay if I sleep some m-more?" "yes, I'll stay here with you." "T-thank you" he fell back asleep quickly. after school Bruce woke him up. "hm?" " Vance, we have to leave. Come." "oh okay." they walked together and went to Bruce's house. Vance was still acting different. Until he completely woke up after 2 hours. "wait where am I?" Vance asked "uhm my house? You've been here the past 2 hours?" "no no no no no!" "what's wrong?" "My dad told me to come home after school right away or something bad would happen!" "Vance wa- Vance ran out the house and got home. "DAD IM SO SORRY I PASSED OUT AND COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT EVERYTHING PLEASE DONT HUR-" "what? Hurt you?!"
