TW: Abuse & assault
They are about to dig into the food when they hear a knock at the door. Stay right here. I will get it., said Chan. Chan goes to the door, and he freezes. His parents are at the door, all dirty and tattered up.
Hi son How are you doing? I havent seen you in a long time. His mom sniffles.
Hey, Chan, who is at the door?
They walk into the house without Chan's permission and go to the table. Wow, all of this food looks so good! Who made the food? said their dad. Felix looks at them and says, I was making it, but I cut myself, so Chan took over.
Both of them look at Felix and then at each other and say, He has always been weak, honey. He could never do anything for himself., said his father.
Felix has always needed help when it comes to a lot of things, but hearing this made him want to cry.
Chan walks over to the table, frustrated. Why are you guys here?
We need money just to get us by for the week. said his mom.
Chan was thinking about this. I dont have anything to give you. All of this money is for me and Felix.
Come one, but we are your parents. How dare you not have money for us! his mom screamed.
Felix started getting scared because he didnt know what to do.
Hey, Felix, maybe you have something you can give us., said his dad.
He didnt know how to answer, and he was petrified. Uhmm I- I d-dont have m-money to give you.
He started to cry, and he started getting flashbacks.
*Flashback*
Felix was in his room, and his dad came home late at night. It was around 10 pm. His father comes into his room and grabs him.
How is my beautiful son? Can you do a favor for me?
He looked at his father because he was scared of what he was about to do to him. This wasnt the first time his father had done something like this. And he knew that he could say no, or he would end up with a bruise that would stay for about a week.
In a stammering voice, he says, W-what do y-you need me t-to do?
I want you to be a good son for me, and I want you to take off your clothes for me.
He didnt want to do it but knew he had no choice. So, as his father was watching him, he did as his father requested. As a 10-year-old boy, Felix would hope he wouldnt have to deal with this anymore. He just started to cry. And because he started crying, his father hit him.
*End of flashback*
Felix was in that flashback long enough for his parents to be gone. He was crying and had hot tears running down his face.
Felix, they are gone. It's going to be ok.
But what if Dad returns and he doesnt talk to me again?
Chan made sure to reassure his brother that they were never going to come back and that it wasnt going to happen ever again.
Hey, what about this? Lets get you some new stuffed animals and anything else you want to get to make you feel better. And also, you know you dont have to hide being a little from me. I knew this whole time.
He was shocked that his brother knew the entire time, but he was happy that he didnt have to hide it anymore. And because of this, it made him go little.
Channie, lets go. You said we are going to get all of my favorite things. He grabbed Chan and ran to the car as fast as he could, almost forgetting that he had to put his shoes on.
They got to the mall, and he almost ran without Chan.
Hey, Lixie, you cant just run off like that. You need to hold my hand while walking through the mall.
They walked through the mall and the first store that they went into had a lot of stuffed animals in it. The first song that caught his attention was the chicken. He looked at Chan and he grabbed it for him. The shopped for about 3hrs until it was time for them to go home.
They got home and they got ready for bed.
