Today was teacher training day so we didn't have school and everyone was on shift so we were stuck at home with mom and Michael. Great. I went downstairs and they had already started drinking and getting strung out. I went to make breakfast for us when I got dizzy and knocked over the vodka bottle. Time slowed down as it hit the floor, shattering from impact, liquid spilling on the floor. I looked at mom and her eyes darkened.
Thomas: I-I'm sorry.
Mom: You stupid little shit. I should've killed you when I had the chance.
Mom pushed me and I fell banging my head on the table knocking over the drugs in the process. Footsteps ran down the stairs following the screams for help.
Kiara: Mommy stop please. Hurting him
Mom: go back upstairs
Kiara: Tommy!
Thomas: I'm okay kee. Go play in the front yard
Kiara ran outside

Michael picked me up and started hitting me. Mom joined in too.
Michael: you useless fucking retard
Mom: the day you were born was the worst day of my life. Now I'm stuck with this burden of a son. Your just like your dad. An unwanted broken kid.
I lost my temper
Thomas: and what are you huh? Your just a junkie who only cares about her next fix. And you Michael are just some sad pathetic junkie who gets off of ruining lives and beating on little kids
He punched me in the face knocking me to the floor and started strangling me.
Thomas: (struggled) I'm sorry. Please. Mom. Help
Mom stood there cheering him on
I kneed him in the groin and ran out the house. Kiara started following me. I kept running until a wave of dizziness rushed over me. Soon enough everything went black.

Shay pov
Dispatch: ambulance 61. Young male unconscious. Humboldt park.
Shay: Dawson let's go
We responded to the call and it was Thomas. He looked badly beaten and was just laid unconscious. Kiara was also there and she looked so distraught and scared.
Shay: hey Tommy it's Shay can you hear me
Dawson performed a sternum rub and he regained consciousness
Shay: hey t can you tell me your name?
Thomas: erm er
Shay: do you know where you are?
Thomas: erm er er
Shay: your in a park. What happened?
Thomas: er I-I
His eyes were fluttering shut.
Dawson: hey stay awake. We need you to stay awake.
He tried but lost consciousness again
Kiara: Tommy
Shay: come on let's take him in
We loaded him into the ambo.
Shay: come on Kiki

Dawson pov
Shay was driving and I was in the back with Thomas and Kiara. We were driving in silence until Kiara started speaking.
Kiara: mommy and daddy mad
Dawson: Why?
Kiara: Tommy
Dawson: can you tell me what he did?
Kiara: I don't know
Dawson: that's okay. Did they do this to Thomas?
Kiara: hurted him 'gen
Dawson: thank you for telling me
Shay: we're here
We unloaded the ambo and wheeled him in
Maggie: what we got?
Dawson: Thomas Gibson. 11 years old. Found unconscious. Briefly regained consciousness for a few minutes. Badly beaten. Heart rate 143. BP 90/73
Maggie: Connor and Will Bagdad
They took him to the room and started working on him
Maggie: anyone called his parents and kelly?
Dawson: don't call the parents they're the ones that did this. I'll call kelly.

Kelly pov
We had just got back from a call and I was getting something to eat when my phone rang. Dawson
Kelly: hello
Dawson: you need to get to med right now
Kelly: huh
Dawson: the call was for Thomas. He's in a bad way
Kelly: shit I'm coming now

I ended the call and quickly told chief before making my way to my car. I arrived at med and shay was waiting for me
Kelly: what the hell happened?
Shay: I don't know but he's badly beaten. Dawson knows abit about what happened but wouldn't tell me until you got here.
We went to the waiting room and as soon as Kiara saw me she jumped into my arms
Kelly: hey princess
Kiara: Tommy hurt
Kelly: Will and Connor are gonna make him all better. Dawson what happened?
Dawson: Kiara basically told me that Zara and Michael did this
As soon as she said that a wave of anger flew through me
Kelly: what!
I looked at Kiara who was sat on my lap.
Kelly: hey munchkin can you tell me what happened today?
Kiara: mommy and daddy hurted Tommy gen
Kelly: did this happen before?
Kiara: yeah lots. Tommy not let bad happen to me
Kelly: thanks for telling me
