Chapter 7 - Trauma

One month later :

The final year's examination is over now. The results are also out. Marco used to be the topper but now Elliot has taken his place. Marco is second, David third and Lisa fourth. They spent the entire day at the campus. Everyone at school knows about Lisa and David but they are unaware of the other couple, Marco and Elliot. Finally they decide to celebrate this success at Marco's house.

"El, you go and take some rest okay? I'm staying with David to help him with arrangements." Lisa says. "Fine. Take care." Elliot says back and hugs her.
He looks at Marco but he is busy in giving interviews and meeting with people. So, he heads towards his house.

After he reaches his home he notices something strange. Two bodybuilders like men are standing in front of his house. He goes inside and sees the backpacks on the floor. "Where are you guys going?" he asks Mary. "We are not going anywhere dear." John says from the back. "Then what is this? Whose backpacks are these?" he asks him. "It's yours." John replies. "What? I'm sorry but I don't understand what you are saying." Elliot says. John stands in front of him and gives a creepy smile.

"We are sending you to my friend's house. Don't worry he will take care of you." he says. "No! I'm not going anywhere. No never!" Elliot panics. "I'm not here to listen to what you want or not. It's an order! Go and get ready now!!" John yells at him. Elliot refuses, he takes out his phone to call Marco but John grabs the phone and breaks it. "Please please I don't wanna go anywhere. This is my home. Please I beg you." Elliot cries out. This makes John more angry. He grabs his hand and throws him in his room and locks it.

Elliot begs Mary to open the door but she ignores. He feels so helpless. His head is spinning and he starts shivering. His entire world is being taken away before his eyes and he is unable to do anything. He breaks down completely and sits on the floor. Suddenly he remembers his old phone. He opens the drawer and dials Marco's number.

Over the call :

Marco - "Hey, who's this?"

Elliot - "Mm.. Marco Marco it's me.. it's.. me Elliot.. your Elliot."

Marco - "El?? Baby what's wrong? Why are you sounding like this? Are you okay?"

Elliot - "No.. no.. th.. they are sending.. me away..."

Marco - "What? What are you saying? Hold on I'm coming there!"

Elliot - "Ppp.. please fff... fast.."

Call disconnets!

"Hello? El.. Elliot??? Oh my God! I have to go.." Marco rushes towards his car. He calls David for help.

"No please don't do this to me.. I don't wanna go please.. leave me!!" Elliot screams as they are taking him to the airport. "You deserve this you little shit! Scream as much as you want. No one is coming to help you!" John says from the front seat. Elliot feels dizzy he closes his eyes in hope that someone will come to help him. They are so close to the airport.

Elliot's car is coming from one side and Marco's car is coming from the other side and both cars stop in front of the other just before entering the airport. "Oh shit!" John sees Marco in the car. "Go kill him right now!" he orders the other two men. Both of them got down from the car and started moving towards Marco.

Meanwhile Elliot opens his eyes but he doesn't understand what's happening. Marco gets down and shoots both of them with his gun. After this he pulls John and throws him out of the car. He kicks his abdomen and punches his face. John screams in pain but Marco doesn't stop. He grabs his hair and bangs his head on the car. "I told you to stay away from him. Now you get what you did!" Marco yells. He twists John's wrist causing him so much pain. John's mouth starts bleeding!

Meanwhile, David comes with the cops, he stops Marco from beating John and tells him to look after Elliot. The cops arrest John and call the ambulance to take the deadbodies. Elliot is too stunned to speak. Marco lifts him and takes him to the hospital.

At the hospital:

After an hour Elliot finally backs into his senses. Marco is sitting next to him. He looks at him and hugs him tightly. Marco comforts him. "I'm here baby.. you are safe.. he's gone." he says. Elliot takes a deep breath and looks at him. "I'm sorry, I wanted to tell you this, I wanted to tell you everything he did to me.. but I'm.. I was so scared to do that." he cries out. Marco looks confused. "What? What do you mean by everything? Elliot! Baby.. did he touch you?" Marco stops.
Elliot clears his throat. "Yes! I'm sorry I.. I'm sorry." he says. "Since when?" Marco asks. "Since I was sixteen!" he replies.

Marco doesn't believe what he is saying. "Wait. Did your aunty know about it? Did Lisa know?" he asks. "Yes. They know everything. (pauses) I tried to escape from that house but failed. He.. he blackmailed me that if I say anything to anyone he will do the same with Lisa. After that, whenever John felt like it, he came to me. I was scared. I tried kill myself but Li saved me. That night, after your mom's birthday he came to my room and..." Elliot stops. Marco takes a deep breath, tears coming from his eyes.

"Why didn't you tell me before?" he quietly asks him. "I thought. You will leave me." Elliot looks down. "Oh my God El, don't you ever think that again. I will never leave you. Never ever! I love you okay? You are not alone. It's not your fault." Marco wraps him in his arms.

"Your sufferer ends now. (sighs) I promise you baby, I'll never let anyone hurt you again. And if anyone does I'll burn him alive!" Marco assures. "From now, you are staying with me in my home." he adds. "But.. what about your dad?" Elliot asks. "I don't fucking care about him! You are staying with me and that's final." Marco replies. He kisses his forehead and again wraps him in his arms.

"The doctor said, he is fine now. He discharged him." David interrupts. "How's Lisa? Is she okay?" Elliot asks him. "Yes, she panicked at first but now she is fine." David answers. He calls Lisa and gives the phone to Elliot.

Marco stands up and takes out his phone, he calls the head inspector. "Hello inspector, the only reason I call is, I want to hear his screams!" he says on the call. "Sure sir. Officers I'm putting this phone on speaker, beat that asshole with your whole energy!!" The officer orders. The other officers start beating him and John starts screaming loudly. "I hope you are satisfied now sir." The inspector says on the call. "As of now, I'm good. But I'll be more satisfied when he dies!" Marco replies and cuts the call.
