I couldn't take it anymore a opened one of my eyes. Shit. I was in the hospital. I groaned at the brightness. What happened? The memories suddenly come back and I quickly shut my eye. What happened to David and Maddy?

"N-Niall?" Said a voice from over in the corner. I look over tool there and see a small woman crying. Instantly I tensed and moved away. Those tears weren't for me. They couldn't be. The woman wept more. "Oh dear leprechaun Gods. Are you OK?" She said. I didn't reply. She wept even more into another boys arms. When the hell did he get there. I started shaking. No. I just want to die. This isn't right. Leave me alone world. Just fuck off and never come back!

"Shh. It's OK mum," the boy said. He had an Irish accent as well as the mum. He looked over at me. I didn't like it and I started tearing up. "Hello." He smiled at me. "Are you OK?" He looked worried. I just shook my head. OF COURSE I'M NOT BLOODY OK! I WAS NEARLY KILLED. WHY DIDN'T YOU LEAVE ME TO DIE? "I'm Greg your brother. And this is our mum." My eyes widened. Am I in some messed up nightmare? What the hell is going on?!

"Oh." Was all I could say.

"Do you remember what happened to you?" Mum said. I nodded. "Oh. Can you tell us?" I shook my head. I'm not going to tell anyone. This is something best kept secret. "Why not darling?"

"I can't." I said simply. Tuff shit if she thinks I'm going to tell her the last 15 years of my life.

"But no one else will hurt you anymore. Everything is OK now. "

"That's not the point. I'm sorry." My voice came out very hoarse and raspy. They look at me confused and sad.

"Why can't you?" Her voice was sincere and desperate.

"If I told you then I'll break. I know it." I said. That was the honest truth. They looked at me with sympathy.

"It's going to be OK. Everything is getting better for you now. Madison and David are gone now. They're not coming back." Mum said. I want to believe her but I can't. Not until they're behind bars. Not until I know they won't come back.

"But mu- I mean Maddy said she wants me back. She says she needs to finish what she started. And she won't stop until she does finish me off." I start shaking and mum comes over to me and I gives me a hug. At first I flinch away but soon I get used to it. She seemed upset about me being scared but soon knows she's going to have to deal with it.

"I'm sorry. It's all my fault this happened. Do you think you can forgive me?" I shrug. I really don't care. "They didn't give you back though. I paid all the money and extra like they wanted but they wouldn't give you back to me." I rub her back slowly in circles trying to comfort her like Greg did. And it seemed to work. She soon calmed down and Greg gave me a smile. 'Well done' he mouthed. I gave him a small weak smile. He looked so happy and so did mum. Why? I mean it's only me. I'm not special right? (he is my special snowflake <3)

"It's OK. I'm fine." Lies. I only just met my real mum and I'm already lying to her. I'm such a horrible child. I knew I deserved all those hits and punches. All those cuts and bruises. All my mental and physical scars. I'm a horrible child. A disgusting person. I don't deserve life.

"No your not. Look at you! Your covered in cuts and bruises! I can only see part of what they did to you I mean look at you! It's horrible! And I've only seen your face, arms and feet." Well imagine what she would think of when she sees my back and belly. Oh shit. Well that's me now fucked. I don't want her crying because of me.
