Forest Boy

Chapter 35

Shane's pov

It had been two more weeks and joey looked like he was ready to die. I have no idea why i haven't done something yet, i guess i'm just scared. He had gotten very alert and twitchy, he flinched whenever someone touched him. For a few days i was convinced he was on drugs but he doesn't even know what those are.

The final bell just rang and he had put his head down in the middle of class. He fell asleep but i think i'm the only one that noticed. I packed up both of our bookbags and i slowly shook his shoulder. He put his head up and his face looked so pale and tired.

He had dark bags under his eyes and i saw a smuge on his face. I went to wipe it but he swatted my hand.

Joey: D-DON'T TOUCH ME!!!

Shane: Hey, joey, calm down, i'm not gonna hurt you. What's wrong?

He grabbed his backpack and briskly walked to his locker. I followed him and i put my hand around his waist making him cry out.

Shane: Oh my god, joey what's wrong?

Joey: It's n-nothing shaney.

He then whimpered and suddenly burst into tears and shaky sobs as he pounded his fists against the locker. I took him into my arms and he cried into my shirt as i rubbed his back slowly.

Shane: Hey, joey, shh calm down. It's ok, i got you, what's wrong joeybear?

Joey: W-Well um.

He went to continue but daniel yanked him from my arms. He held joey closely and i swear to god joey looked scared. Ok scratch that he looked like he was absolutely mortified. He shook and cried harder as daniel held him. He looked like he had just seen someone get brutally murdered.

Daniel: It's time to go home baby. Let's go cuddle yea?

Joey: Mhm.

Daniel grabbed his backpack and glared at me as they walked out of the building.

Daniel's pov

I threw him in the car and i got in myself quickly slapping him. He whimpered and shook as he held his now red cheek.

Daniel: WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT TALKING TO THAT BITCH?!?!

Joey: N-Not to.

Daniel: That's right, and what did you do?

Joey: I talked t-to him.

Daniel: Yes you did, and you're getting punished when we get home.

Joey: N-No, please NO!!!

Daniel: You yell at me again you're getting it worse.

I slapped him again and starting the car we pulled from the school parking lot. This bitch is gonna remember who he belongs to.

Shane's pov

Tonight was our annual sleepover. During a random night during the summer we all just planned a sleepover for tonight. I just finished calling sawyer, lisa, cat and meghan. All that's left is joey and daniel. I called daniel's phone and after a few rings he picked up.

Daniel: Hello?

Shane: Um hey, are you still coming to the sleepover tonight?

Daniel: Nah, i'm busy tonight.

Shane: Well that sucks is joey coming?

Daniel: That's why i'm busy...he's sick.

Shane: Oh, alright. Tell him i hope he gets better.

Daniel: Will do.

He hung up quickly and i was weirded out. Daniel sounded nervous, but i just shook it off. I hope joey feels better soon.

It had been a few hours and everyone had arrived and we were all munching on the pizzas i ordered. We were having a circle chat and joey and daniel were brought into our conversation.

Lisa: Oh, where's joey and daniel?

Shane: um, joey's sick.

Meghan: Really? He seemed fine at school. Yes he looked dead tired and pale but that's just because of lack of sleep.

Shane: I think there's more to the story then that.

Luke: What do you mean?

Shane: Today at school joey fell asleep in class and he was scared for anyone to touch him. He burst into tears at his lockers and he looked scared when daniel held him.

Sawyer: I've noticed that daniel always seems angry. Especially around joey.

Shane: There's something going on, and i don't think it's good.

Meghan: Well, i think that they've been fucking like twenty four seven. I mean, joey always seems to be limping and worn out.

Lisa; That's not right, we need to find an excuse to get over there.

Shane: Well joey left his teddy bear that he usually sleeps with here. I might want to take it to him.

Luke: Hell yea you should. Go get it.

I ran upstairs and grabbed the small bear running back downstairs. I grabbed my jacket and rushed out the door going to my car. I turned it on and pulled out of the driveway. I know this wasn't much of a reason to go to daniel's house but i needed to see joey.

I pulled into the driveway and i knocked a few times and soon enough i went inside. It was all silent until i heard something shatter.

Shane: Daniel? Joey?

Nothing again until i heard screaming from daniel.

Daniel: YOU SAID NO AGAIN WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT THAT?!?!

I could hear joey's voice barely above a whimper but i heard it as if it was a scream.

Joey: T-That you would h-hurt joey.

Daniel: That's right now quit your crying and get on your knees you little bitch.

I gasped and quietly made my way up the stairs towards daniel's room. I listen in for more and i could now hear joey's cries and they were incredibly loud by now.

Joey: I don't want t-to.

Daniel: It doesn't matter what you fucking want. Now DO WHAT YOU'RE FUCKING TOLD!!!

Joey: I SAID N-NO!!!

I then heard another smash and a hard slap sound. I had finally had enough and i grabbed the door handle quickly only to find the door was locked. I then rammed my shoulder into the door and broke it open. What i saw made my blood boil and my head spin with anger.
