"WHY ARE YOU CRYING?" My father slapped me across the face as Iclenched my fists.
"YOU DESERVED IT!" He slapped me again as I looked down at my feet.
"YOU WENT BEHIND MY BACK!" He says as my elder brother pulled me away from being hit once more.
I sat on the floor in shock, I was assaulted by a man 25 years older than I am yet... he yells at me for getting an abortion? I knew my father was a horrible, horrible man but not this horrible.
I cover my ears and close my eyes as I heard my brother being strangled the same way he has since day one. Day one being since I was born and maybe even before.
I wanted to hurt my father but he's alot stronger than me. Not only would he get angrier but knowing how Michael is he'd probably take the beating for me.
I just waited for the beating to be over before rushing over to him. I put a cloth to his bleeding nose. "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry, this is all my fault."
"It's fine, I'm used to it..." he says before coughing. It sounded so unnatural for a person to sound it was almost horrifying.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, just because you're used to itdoesn't justify that it's a cruel act." I patted the cloth over his nose until it stopped bleeding.
"It's fine, I think it would have been worse if you kept it to be honest." He let me clean his wounds but winced.
"Yeah but... Idon't like seeing you hurt." "I don't like seeing you get slapped across the face." "I don't like you getting strangled."
I helped him up, slinging one of his arms around my shoulders to support him. I help him onto the bed and I laid next to him.
"Are you okay? It was for days at a time and you can't heal possibly in this short amount of time." He asks while hugging me, almost for warmth... or comfort? I never knew why but he'd do this.
"Yeah it's probably going to affect me for the rest of my life, I'm just thankful he had scissors. I may hate blood but seeing him fall over due to a blade in his balls was so funny." I laughed, Ididn't want to be sad right now after all my eyes are already sore.
