(The boy and girl were both 13 two years have passed they are 15 now)
No song until I decide one :P
The boy who is now older is cleaning a floor making sure there are no smudges his foster parents expect clean and tidy when they return from date night.
Which is every night.....
He scrubs harder remembering how his foster dad david decided that a good punishment would be hurting the other foster kid a twelve year old girl Annabelle who was sweet and innocent.
The boy scrubbed even harder.
His foster dad tied her to the bed and videotaped as he-
The boy sighs as he picks up the snapped metal scrubber and dropped it in the trash grabbing another of the extra he kept for when that happened and continued to scrub the floor then began on the counter.
What was worse is david forced him to watch the tape.
He thought of Annabelle as his sister and the only reason he hasn't ran from the sick pedophile.
His wife is worse.
She tricks men into giving her money for drugs and gives them sex in return they end up broke and she makes sure to send a video to the mans wife fiancee or girlfriend.
And her husband agrees with it.
The boy sighs as another metal scrubber is bent into the shape of his hand marks after hes done cleaning the house he walks and knocks on Annabelles room.
"Yes?" Annabelles quiet soft voice says the boys anger goes away and he puts his natural calm face on like a mask.
"Its me." He says and waits for her reply.
"Oh come in." She says ending in a whisper he opens the door.
Shes sitting hugging her legs on her bed the same bed David-
He lets go of the handle where dents were beginning to shape from his grip and walks in sitting on the bed.
"Do you want some food?" The boy asks and Annabelle smiles.
"Yes please." She says and the boy nods heading to the kitchen.
He makes a grilled cheese and ham sandwich and walks back to Annabelles room setting th food in front of her she smiles weakly and eats slowly.
They both freeze when they hear the sound of david and Martha his wife coming up the steps.
The unlock the door and there drunk laughter echo's around the almost bare apartment.
"Great there drunk." The boy thinks and makes sure hes in front of Annabelle if david comes into the room.
"Oliver olive or whatever the fuck your name is get out here!" David slurs and I hear him knock something down martha giggles. The boy leaves giving Annabelle a small smile of reassurance.
She replys smiling weakly knowing nothing good comes when they are drunk. The boy leaves closing the door and going into the living room.
David and martha are sitting on the couch obviously they are drunk and on some kind of drug since they are both smoking a awful smelling cigarette type thing.
"Wheres our dinner!" David yells and the boy rushes to make them some burgers after hes done he rushes to give martha and david there food.
David hits him and the boy flinches.
"You took to longgggggg."David says slurring alot a the end.
"Do youuuu think he needs a punishment?" Martha says her face red from the alcohol.
"Yeah I Think sooooo." David says and stands up.
He grabs a belt he has and hits the boy leaving a red mark on the boys arm.
"No honney thats to nnnnnniiiiice." Marthat slurs worse.
David grunts and stumbles to the closet and pulls out a Wooden bat.
David hits the boy on the back making him fall david continues to hit and beat the boy the boy keeps a calm expression as he has to.
"Honey its not working should I get the other one?" David says slurring only alittle.
Yeah! Martha cheers giggling.
"What other one?" The boy thinks as david rummages through the closet soon he pulls a heavy looking metal bat.
The boy flinches inside just at the sight.
David raises the bat to hit the boy and swings hitting the boys side it cracks and bruises a few ribs the boy keeps from gasping for air keeping a calm face he has to do this.
David continues to hit the boy until the boy is bleeding .
"Leave him alone!" Annabelle says shaking with fear and fury.
"What did you say bitch Hey boy stand up!" David yells.
The boy stays still his ribs and chest burning.
"I said GET UP!" David yells kick the boy in the side the boy flinches but is screaming in pain on the inside he remembers a line of a song.
"Everyday every hour turn that pain into power"
And for a reason it calms him.
David raises the bat to hit the boy and when he swings down the boy grabs the bat crushing it in his fist.
He stands up and moves to Annabelle before david or martha can react and takes her to her room blocking the door.
"Annabelle take a few pairs of clothes now." He says calm his ribs or bleeding not bothering him.
David swings the bat at the door making a clang sound.
"Hurry!" The boy says and Annabelle rushes to pack a few clothes and a brown stuffed owl toy she calls mimi nods to the boy.
the boy moves the door open and knocks david down running to the door and running out of the place he lived in since he was five.
The boy and Annabelle run through the streets stopping in a ally.
And the boy falls unconscious from the pain.
