Forest Boy

Chapter 33

Daniel's pov

Joey applied the makeup that i bought him and he did well covering himself. We drove to school and he was silent,i gripped the steering wheel tightly.

Daniel: Are you gonna say something?

Joey: W-What do i s-say.

Daniel: I don't know just talk to me.

Joey: W-Why did you hit joey?

Daniel: You deserve it.

He flinched at my words and i just snarled and we pulled into the school lot. I walked around and pulled his door open helping him out. I then whispered to him.

Daniel: You fucking tell anyone i will destroy you got it?

Joey: Mhm.

Daniel: Good.

He swung his backpack over his shoulder and he winced as we walked inside.

Joey's pov

I couldn't help the limping, my body was just so sore and in pain i didn't know what to do. I wanted to lay down and cry but if i did daniel would hurt me again. Why does he hurt me? I didnt't think i was being that bad, but i guess i was.

Meghan walked up to me and placed her arm around my shoulder and i winced lightly but tried not to let her see it.

Meghan: You ok joey?

Joey: Mhm i'm ok.

Meghan: Are you sure? You're limping.

Joey: Yea i'm ok, i just t-twisted my ankle yesterday.

Meghan: Oh, ok.

She walked away and i got to my locker falling against it. I whimpered and opened my locker placing my head into it. Tears fell down my face and i cried into it. A rough hand grabbed my shoulder and turned me around, shoving me into the locker.

Daniel: Why are you crying?

He pushed roughly against my chest and i lightly squealed right before he grabbed my face. He glared at me and i felt so small.

Daniel: I think someone needs another lesson yea?

Joey: N-No, daniel please.

Daniel: Come on.

He roughly yanked me to the bathroom and he threw me onto the ground.

Joey: J-Joey sorry, please.

Daniel: If you would've listened i wouldn't have to do this.

He then punched me countless times in the stomach and he bruised another rib. He then slapped me and tears poured down my face.

Daniel: You cry one more time, you're going to the hospital.

I nodded and pulled my knees to my chest. He stormed out and i ran to my locker grabbing my backpack and coming back to the bathroom. I pulled out the teddy bear that shane gave me and i cuddled it to my chest. I quietly cried in fear that daniel was gonna come back.

Joey: W-What did i do?

Shane's pov

It was around fifth period and joey limped into class late. His cheeks were flushed red and tiny whimpers left his mouth. Everyone watched him as he sat down next to me putting him next to me.

Shane: Joey, you alright?

Joey: Mhm, joey ok.

His voice wavered and a stray tear fell down his face. I lightly wiped his tear away and he winced at my touch. I then pulled him into a hug, since the teacher couldn't give two shits about us.

Shane: Talk to me after class ok?

Joey: I-I have to meet daniel.

Shane: Well...ok.

He stayed silent for the rest of class and i began to worry about him. Joey is the most bubbly and happy person, he's always content with himself. But right now he seems like someone sucked the happiness out of him and left him with nothing but utter sadness.

I'm gonna try and talk to him, hopefully i can make him feel somewhat better. The class dragged on and finally the bell rang. I walked with joey to his locker and he wouldn't even look at me.

Shane: Joey, come on talk to me.

Joey: I-I.

He was cut off when daniel strutted over and grabbed joey's hand. I could've sworn i saw joey wince when daniel wrapped his arm around his waist but i'm probably seeing things.

Daniel: Let's go joey bear.

He kissed joey's cheek and joey gave a little smile.

Joey: Coming d-danny.

He shoved the rest of his books in his locker and shut it as daniel dragged him along. I had the weird feeling that something was wrong between those two. I want to figure out but i don't know how.

Daniel's pov

After we turned out of shane's sight we stayed there until the bell rang. I punched his ribs again and he quietly groaned as he coughed.

Daniel: I don't want you talking to that bitch, understood?

Joey: Y-Yes daniel.

Daniel: Good.

I punched him one more time just to get my message across and he clenched his eyes tightly shut as i scoffed walking away. I'm not doing anything bad, i'm just teaching him whose boss.

Joey's pov

I then limped to the bathroom feeling completely beaten. I leaned against the wall finding it amazing that i could still produce tears.

My body felt weak and frail, it's only been a few days or a week....i don't know. My body was hurting so much, i just want cudles and kisses....from shaney. I-I don't think daniel loves me, b-but maybe he does.

I don't know anymore....i don't think anyone really DOES love me. Not even mommy...everyone hates me. I sat on the floor pulling my knees to my chest. I don't care that i'm missing class, i need to cry. i have no one byt myself at the moment, i guess i'll have to get used to that.

Joey: Danny still l-loves me. I KNOW he does.....but maybe not.

Shane's pov

Joey had missed another class, i'm really starting to worry about him. The look in his eyes on his outside may have looked happy, but on the inside i know i saw pain. It was as if he was screaming "help me please" he looked desperate.

I'm gonna try and talk to him soon.
