Ellie

"Alright, I'm ready. After that day I was the son he picked on. He always asked me if I was going to become a 'faggot' or a 'queer' like my 'worthless' brother, I told him no. But deep inside I felt nothing but hurt and pain and hatred for my father. All he did was talk bad about the son he never wanted to get to know better. Hell, the only one he even remotely paid attention to was Katie, and even that was forced. My mom always struggled with wanting to leave, but she was old fashioned and wanted to stay for the sake of her family. As I got older, dad just continued to tear into me, telling me I was worthless and how I'd never amount to anything."

I wanted to beat the hell out of his dad! Where the hell does he get off!?

"You okay?" He asked

"Yeah, why do you ask?"

"You're squeezing my hand kind of hard." He said

I looked down and noticed he was right and I eased up a little.

"Sorry about that. Keep going, I'm listening."

"Well, leaving my mom for that slut was the last straw. I vowed from that day that if I ever saw my father again I'd lay him out."

"And you did." I smiled to myself

"Yeah. Well at first I wasn't, but I swear if Oliver and Josh wasn't there, he was going to be leaving in a body bag. I'm sorry for what he did to you."

"It's not your fault. I shouldn't have said what I said."

"That's no excuse. No one touches what's mine! And anyone that puts harm to you will be eating dinner through a straw for the rest of their life." He said sternly

"Stop, you know I don't like it when you're violent."

"I'm supposed to protect you. It's the principle of the matter."

"Let's not think about that right now. We're talking about you remember?" I asked

"You know Leo, your father doesn't know the awesome son that he had. You are one of the most intelligent, interesting, funny, protective, and caring people that I know. And I love you."

"Thanks Ellie... means a lot."

"It's only the truth. Continue."

"Well... getting to why I'm always buying you something: the smug part of my personality would say because I can."

"You sound just like a Christian Grey."
