Violet

E I G H T

Elijah POV

Apparently dad thinks im dumb, yea maybe I have no clue why Violet needs to get a doctors appointment but I don't believe its a "general checkup"

Maybe its like one of those wattpad stories, maybe she had abusive step parents who are also in the mafia. Imagine if that actually happened.

I groan as I turn over for the 7th time in an hour.

"Stop fucking thinking elijah." I say to myself rubbing my hands down my face.

Suddenly my body starts feeling likes its on fire. I was literally just freezing what the actual hell.

"Oh my fucking god." I say throwing my blanket off of me, slipping off my shirt.

I look over at my nightstand and grab my glasses. Looking down at my body I sigh, looking at all my scars. Some self inflicted some from the incident.

After the incident I went down a really dark path. I wasnt eating, I was always high, I was hurting myself. I did alot of shit that fucked me up after. I didnt talk about it either I just bottled it all up. I would pick fights with kids so they would hit me just so I could feel something. If i didnt do that i could cut myself.

Eventually all my feelings I bottled up exploded. The day I exploded on dad I remember breaking down crying right there in the middle of the living room. I was sobbing in dads arms for an hour.

After that dad talked to me and made me realise I didnt need to bottle up my emotions and that I could talk to him.

Flashback

William POV
"Oh eli.." I say as I hold onto my youngest son in my arms. He had just broken down and we are on the living room floor.

I grab his face and look him in the eyes.

"Eli talk to me, im your dad and im always here for you just... talk to me" I say in a desperate begging tone.

"It h-hurts." He says before putting his head back on my chest.

I sit there rocking him back and forth rubbing his back whispering "Its okay." over and over again.

After he finishes crying he looks at me with tired eyes. "Before you disappear to your room I want you to promise me you wokt ever bottle up your emotions like this again, always come talk to me." I say looking straight at him with a serious face. He nods at me before going to stand up.

"Say the words you promise" I say not letting him up yet.

"Dad, I promise I wont bottle up my emotions like this again." He says before standing up. I stand up right after him pulling him into a hug.

End of flash back

I groan again as I realise I got lost in my thoughts once again.

I put my hands under my head, looking at the ceiling. I lay there for an hour or so and dont find myself getting tired.

"Dude I just wanna sleep." I groan out turning to my side. Im just looking at my nightstand until I see my phone light up. Indicating I got a text message.

I grab my phone with yet another groan wondering who is up at exactly 3:24. I turn my phone on as it had already turned off when I picked it up. What shocks me is theres a message from Gabe? He's normally not awake at this time. I open our messages before messaging back.

Their messages

Gabe (retarded brother)

U up?

End of messages

After that he left me on read.

I take off my glasses and put both my phone and glasses onto my nightstand. After that I roll onto my stomach as I feel myself shivering.

I dont move tho I just stay there cold looking at the wall.

After i dont know 4-5 minutes of laying like this I see my door open as the hallway light leaks its way into my dark room. I turn over onto my back as i look at whos at my door. Low and behold its gabe. Aka the only person awake right now.

"Whattt." I groan out as he walks to my bed.

"Just came to hang since we both cant sleep." He says plopping down on my bed.

We just sit in silence for a little bit, Before I start talking.

"Why cant you sleep?" I ask him.

"Man I dont even know." He mumbles quietly.

Once again we are just sitting in silence.

We just sit there for about 15 minutes, just looking at the ceiling.

"Why cant you?" He asks out the blue, looking over at me.

"I keep getting lost in my thoughts." I say truthfully.

We once again fell into silence. I dont know how much later but awhile later he gets up from my bed walking over to the door.

"Getting pretty tired im gonna try and sleep, goodnight eli." He says before closing my door behind him.

I might actually try to sleep also.
