Chapter 56: Neil Part 2

Max's pov

All I saw was black, I passed out. After I opened my eyes, my ears were ringing and I could barely hear. All I heard was my mom calling my name as she was shaking me to wake up

There were also tears in her eyes. "max! Max, are you okay?" she asked crying. I finally could see clearly and hear better. I shook my head

I felt pain everywhere, my stomach, limbs, waist and my face. He always avoids punching my face because he knows I can't really cover those bruises.

He still did but didn't leave a bruise. "it..it hurts" I whimpered in pain. "where honey? Where does it hurt?" my mom asked desperately. "everywhere.." I said quietly.

"what?" my mom said, not hearing me since I spoke quietly. "It hurts everywhere mom! I can't do this anymore" I yelled as I cried. I heard her let a sob

I didn't see her because I had my eyes closed, as I cried a little while wrapping my arms around my waist, where the pain was. My limbs and waist as if it would stop hurting

But of course it didn't. "I'm so sorry.." she cried. I didn't reply. I broke down, the pain was too much, not only physically but mentally.

Why? Why did I deserve this? I couldn't stop asking myself why. My mom tried to pull me up to hug me, no matter how much I hated her at that moment because of all this I still hugged her back

After a second I pulled away because my limbs hurt. She gave me a disappointing look and a sad expression on her face.

"I-I was gone for like 10 minutes, how did that happen" she asked. I didn't say anything. "Max, please tell me what happened?" she asked desperately.

I coudknt tell her the entire story, the reason why he got so pissed, which was because he heard the rumors from our school about me being a dyke

Even though she might have heard them as well, I didn't want her to ask if I am. I stayed quiet

"max-" she repeated. "He started hitting me and punching me mom! That's what happened!" I yelled. She stared at me.

"okay.." she whispered,no longer insisting. I finally managed to sit up slightly after I tried to calm down a little. "where is he?" I asked

"he um.. He was gone when I came" she said seeming ashamed. "oh.. He just almost killed me and then casually left that's quite awesome" I sarcastically said.

"is be coming back?" I asked. It was a stupid question because I already knew the answer but deep down I was hoping my prediction is wrong

"I-I don't know max.. He probably went to the bar or something, just like every day" she said. I didn't say anything.

"let me get the med kit and ice" my mom said standing up. "mom" I said. She turned around and looked at me motioning me to continue

"I don't want a med kit, I just want him-gone, please I'm terrified of him, he almost killed me mom, Billy was the one who stopped him" I slightly yelled hoping she would understand

"What? He did?" she asked surprised. I nodded. "at least he has some humanity in him" she said. I shrugged. "yeah I guess, he left me here though" I said. She nodded slowly agreeing with me as she looked down

I could tell she was ashamed and tried to avoid eye contact. My mom went to get the med kit and ice for the bruises on my waist and limbs.

I zoned out. Thinking about... El. I had the 'I need el' moment. I needed her there for me, telling me that it will be okay. She makes me feel strong, I try not to give up for her

I want to be there when she comes back, I'm not giving up. I won't let Neil get what he wants. But I couldn't, she will be here in a week.

My friends don't know about this whole situation. Wait.. Dustin does. No, I don't want to worry him. He will try to tell the police or something, I know him. He will loose his mind if he sees me like that

Sure I did tell him a few things Neil has done and all, but I can't show him. Even if I called him? What's the point? Plus my mom would be pissed if she knew I told someone

For my 'safety' actually because as you know, Neil has threaded us that he will kill me . Honestly, at this point I want to sacrifice my life because it's fucked up anyways

If Neil continues like that I'll sure be dead, even if I don't report him to the police. I just want him in jail.
