Tyler's pov
I ushered Josh to come inside and he put his coat on the hook. We both went up to my room and Josh asked me what was wrong. I told him about my dad but I could tell he knew something else was wrong. He asked me what else was wrong so I told him about the red stain on the bath mat, he looked at me worried and pulled me into a hug. His hug was so warm and it lasted for about 2 minutes until I heard the door slam and loud footsteps pounding up the stairs. I told Josh to hide in the closet so he did. Just as Josh closed the closet door my bedroom door burst open. My dad came in holding josh's coat.
"WHO'S COAT IS THIS"
"I-its mine"
"WHERE DID YOU GET IT FROM"
"I-i've had it f-for ages"
"LIAR"
He hit me so hard I fell to the ground. I felt tears welling up and my eyes and my dad called me weak. I listened to him every single word he said I listened. He kicked me in the stomach 1.....2.....3....4 I don't know how many times soon after he left my room and Josh waited till he went downstairs to leave the closet. Josh ran up to me with a even more worried look on his face and picked me up. I winced as he wrapped his arms around my stomach.
"sorry ty" he said
I couldn't talk. Josh took me downstairs and sneaked out of the front door. He opened his car door and put me in the car.
