Jesse's POV

School. The most dreaded part of any Monday morning. The sound of my brothers Spider-Man alarm clock went off at 6:30. I just had a feeling.

It was going to be a long day.

Elliot was curled up into a tiny ball against my chest making him look so vulnerable. I stroked his hair out of his eyes,he really did need a hair cut. Elliot eyes fluttered open slowly as he rubbed them with his freckled knuckles.

"Elliot it's time to wake up for school" I spoke softly as I untangled my body from the sheets.

My brother gave a soft groan of resistance. He loved his sleep and hated getting up early but he had to go to school.

"Elliot I don't like school it's too hard" he said to me sadly. It made me sad just thinking about what he had to go through at school.

"Readings too hard Jesse I don't want to go!" He wined while sitting up in bed. As you can tell my brother hates school because he has Dyslexia and it makes school in general much harder for him...I just wish I could take his pain away...

"Well you're just going to have to work a little harder than everybody else. You're just different kinda like Spider-Man." At that he smiled and hopped out of bed and gave me a big hug around my hips.

"Just like Spider-Man" he repeated into my stomach. I giggled.

"Alright now go get dressed and BRUSH your teeth" I said sternly like my mother used to do... Remembering her brought the pain back in my chest.

Remember Jesse just keep busy and you won't have time to think about her.

I walked down stairs to make breakfast while my brother got ready for school. I opened the fridge. There wasn't much. Nothing but the beer from last night four eggs and a couple slices of bread.

Damn.

I guess I wasn't eating today. My brother came first ALWAYS. And my father would beat the hell out of me if I fed myself instead of him first. I cooked the food and placed it on the table just in time for my brother to come down and eat. He sat down at the table and looked at his plate in disappointment. His smile fell, sandy blond hair over his eyes.

"But Jesse we had this yesterday." He pouted.

"I'm sorry bud but that's all we have alright. Now eat up so you can get big and strong." He nodded lightly as he started to poke at his food. It was all we had. I wish I could spoil him with the lavish things life has to offer him...but I just didn't have the kind of money.

I started up the stair to get dressed when I saw my father at the top of the steps looking as worn out as ever.

"Well if it ain't my first little fuck up" he laughed. I quietly tried to brush passed him when he caught me by the collar. No please not now! I screamed in my head.

He threw me to the ground with a thud.

"Do you have any respect for your old man!" He yelled inches from my face. He punched my hard in the face and pulled on my hair roughly.

"I brought you into this world and I'm sure as hell I can take you out!" He screamed punch me one last time right on the nose. I wailed and let out a light cry so Elliot couldn't hear me. I cupped my hands to my nose as I felt blood gush out. God this was painful.

"You better have made breakfast cuz I've got a long day with the bar." He chuckled and walked away. This wasn't an unusual morning it ws actually quite normal to my standards. I pulled myself up gingerly to my feet. My head swayed dizzily from the punches as blood seeped to the floor from between my finger. I went to the bathroom and cleaned myself up. There was a cut on my nose and big purple and yellow bruises from today and yesterday's beatings so I threw on a black hoodie to hide my face and wrists. A pair of black skinny jeans and coverse that were badly worn out to go along and me and Elliot were out the door.
