Capter 2: You Will Not Break Me

Decker's Point of View:

I wasn't  even able to finish shutting the truck door before Axel started screaming at me. He was so loud and everywhere I could barely keep up with what he was trying to say. Every now and then he would reach over and shove my shoulder. What was supposed to be a 10 minute drive felt like thirty but we eventually made it home.

Axel hopped out and walked over to my door. He yanked me out and drug me by my ear inside. I was hoping Rome was home and he would stop Axel and calm him down but that was just wishful thinking and wishes never come true.

He drug me up the stairs to Kaz and I's bedroom. He began to unbuckle his belt and I knew I was in for it.

(Axel) - "Bend over and put your hands on the bed!"

I knew he could easily over power me if I refuse to do as he said so I do it with an added little twist.

"Yes, daddy"

I try to moan but can't help laughing. Axel and I are really close so I didn't mind goofing off with him if it was Rome though I would have just kept my mouth shut.

(Axel) - "Shut the fuck up, Decker Louis. This is not a time to be joking around."

I knew he was caught off guard and smiled but it only lasted a second before he was just as angry as before.

(Axel) - "You get 15 with my belt for cursing. Then 20 with my belt for the disrespect."

He didn't waste any time before he started.

*SMACK ×15*

With each hit my body was pushed forward.

*SMACK ×15*

Towards the end I had to bite my cheek to keep from making any noise. Does he really think I would let him win that easily?

*SMACK ×5*

After the last stroke I went to go stand up but he stopped me in my tracks.

(Axel) - "Get back down, we ain't done yet."

I can hear him messing around near the desk in our room but I can't figure out what he's doing.

(Axel) - "We're going to try something different seeing as this is a reaccuring theme. You have 5 more with the extension cord for the disrespect."

Shit. I've only seen the extension cord used once and that was when Rome was my age and called Dad a shitty Father after he slapped Axel while drunk. Rome couldn't sit for a week after.

*WHACK*

Fuck that stings. I'm able to hold back tears but I definitely made noise. I couldn't help it.

*WHACK* *WHACK*

The pain was unbearable and I still had two more to go.

*WHACK*

By this point I had a couple of tears rolling down my face but I refused to cry. I would never give Axel the satisfaction of breaking me.

*WHACK*

(Axel) - "Get up."

I turn around, facing Axel, and wipe my cheek.

(Axel) - "I can't believe you Decker. Expelled from school? Out of all of us kids your the one that has a chance to go to college. For fucks sake when will you learn to bite your tongue? Although you think it your not above anybody and everyone deserves your respect. And I've warned you about cussing. I know you think this tough guy persona makes you look grown up but it's fucking childish. You don't see me and Rome cussing out our bosses do you?"

He knew he wasn't going to get anything out of me because I was still mad at him so he threw the cord at me to put up and left the room. Even though he didn't take my phone I knew Rome would as soon as he got home so I went ahead and messaged the guys to tell them I wouldn't have it for awhile.

Man I was pissed. Who the fuck does he think he is? Who consciously whips a kid with an extension cord? He should be scarred from watching Dad use it on Rome I know I am. Like I get he didn't beat me to a corpse like Dad left Rome but for Christ sake. At least I can add my name to the short list of warriors that were able to live to tell the tale of the torture.
