My Saviors (A Black Veil Brides Fanfiction)

Secrets Revealed

I ran home and went inside, slamming the door. I shook off my close call and went into the kitchen. I put the seasoning on the steak and let it sit in the fridge. I would make noodles and green beans later. While the steak was marinating, I went and grabbed all the laundry out of everyone’s rooms, except mine. I had to do my laundry at the Laundromat; I wasn’t allowed to do it at the house. I put all the white things into the washer and started it. I went back upstairs and stripped everyone’s beds. I piled them by the stairs and I went and remade everyone’s beds. I grabbed the pile of dirty sheets and put them by the washer and dryer. It was only 4:13 by the time I was done. My brothers hung out with friends until dinnertime, and my parents came home around 5:30. I put in another load of laundry and hit start. I went out onto the patio and turned the grill on, letting it heat up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~FLASHBACK~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“You burnt a hot dog?!” My father screamed at my cowering, six year old form. I had just learned how to use the grill, and had made hotdogs. I had burnt one.

“YOU CAN’T DO ANYTHING RIGHT YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHIT!!!” He yelled even louder. He grabbed me by my hair and dragged me to the grill. He turned it on and when it was hot enough he grabbed my small frame and stripped me. He held me above the grill and then he slammed me into the hot grill on my back. I screamed in agony and he released me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~END OF FLASHBACK~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I shuddered at the memory. I had scars on my back from that, perfect, straight, horizontal lines that started at the bottom of my neck and ended at the top of my tailbone. I went inside and grabbed the steak and some tongs. I went out and put them on the grill. I closed the lid and went inside. I set a timer for ten minutes. I put water on the boil and I grabbed the vegetable steamer. I put the green beans in the steamer and turned it on. The water started to boil and I added the noodles. The timer went off and I went outside. I picked up the tongs and turned the steaks over. Thirty minutes later the table was set and the food was ready.

My parents came in and sat down, ignoring me. They started eating and my brothers came home. They started eating, too. I was so hungry. I had to wait until they were done though, because they would ask me for things. They finally finished and I cleaned up. My brothers were playing in their room, my parents watching T.V. Just then the doorbell rang. I ran down to the basement and put another load in the washer, the pervious load in the dryer. I folded the load and put it in a basket. I went into everyone’s rooms, giving them the respective clothing. I went back into the basement, and I heard voices in the living room, but I wasn’t allowed to meet the guests, I had to hide in the basement.

“EMERSON!! GET YOUR ASS UP HERE NOW!!!” I heard my father shout. I ran as fast as I could up the stairs. What did he want?

~~~ANDY’S POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We followed the girl to her house. We had to give her her bag back. We decided to wait until her parents got home because there weren’t any cars in the driveway, and there was no way that she was going to answer the door. She was scared of us. We all sat outside of her house—she lives across from a park—like stalkers. We saw her turn on the grill, and later come out and put something on it. Why was she cooking such an elaborate meal? Strange; we all exchanged raised eyebrows and looks of confusion. She came back out a while later and grabbed the steaks, taking them inside. CC and Jake had gone to feed the ducks, and Ashley had been dragged reluctantly with them.

Just then a car pulled into that girl’s driveway, and what I’m guessing are her parents walked inside. Another car pulled in and three boys went inside as well. We decided to wait another hour to give them time to eat dinner.
