The Truth Behind HIS Closed Doors.(completed)

Part 2

I walked back to our 1965 Mustang Fastback till dad came over and opened the door. I stumbled into the backseat. I then put my hood up and curled the strings that were attached to the hood and was half tempted to put in my earphones in but had changed my mind when I remembered what he did to my last one.

As soon as we got back home I ran inside in a hurry to get there before my dad. My house is a; three bedroom semi detached, which is only three doors away from Leon's. I quickly put my keys in the front door lock and closed it behind me, then called out to see if my younger brother was home.
"JOSH"I called out but there was no reply, I quickly ran towards the stairs but as soon as I got to the first step I felt the hair on the back of my neck stand up as if I felt someone else in the room with me. My heart raced and felt beads of sweat slide down my face as I heard the front door open then close, a large hand grabbed the back of my shirt digging their nails into my back leaving marks then quickly dragging me away from the stairs.

They quickly shoved me onto the sofa in the living room and my chest smacked against the back of the sofa. I quickly removed my shirt to reveal all my white scars and fresh red ones all scattered across my back, I shoved my left fist in my mouth so I could muffle my own screams so that he wouldn't hit any harder to prevent the neighbors from hearing me.

"Let's get this over with" I cried with my fist in my mouth, I instantly heard the sound of my dad taking his belt off, and the next thing I heard were a loud whipping sound straight afterwards the pain screamed down my back, I swallowed back another sob and tried to bite down on my fist to muffle my scream.

Straight after the first one were followed with seven more then he stopped
"You can get up now" He ordered
I done as he said and slowly got up, my back felt stiff and felt like fire spreading all over and my knees were like jelly, my head began to spin and the room spun as soon as I stood up quickly.
"May I leave now?" I sobbed and tears ran uncontrollably down my face, he slowly made my tears worse when he raised his belt as if he was getting ready for round two. He slapped it back down with force quickly making a large gash over my chest ripping through my shirt which the white quickly became stainedwith red.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" I screamed in pain and curled up into a ball, sobbing even harder until I could cry no more.
"Yes go away now child" he said whilst gritting his teeth.

*****************************************************************************

I wobbled my way up the stairs and all the way to my room. I lay down on my bed replaying over what had just happened and the burning pain I had felt. I now have more scars to remind me of the sadness, anger and frustration of my father. I quickly stood back up when the pain from the gash reminded me not to lay on my front. I pulled off my shirt and seen some of the gashes that already started to clot on my back. I went into bathroom and looked into the cabinet where I found bandages to fix the gash, I hissed as I placed the first layer on the gash then a second layer of large bandages around my body where the gash is. I then went into bed laying on my left side and placed pillows in front and behind me so I could't roll onto the gash and scream in pain.

"Good morning " I cheerfully said to Leon quietly since I didn't actually feel like talking but he would find it odd if I didn't say anything.
"Hey Jarred. I am good thanks how are you" he replied with a kind smile which I returned. We all hurried on to the bus
"Whats first lesson?" I asked looking out the Window at the houses passing by.
"Gym"
"OK will you go to my locker with me? My gym stuff is in there"
"Yeah sure buddy" he patted my back it felt as if he stabbed me, I tried no to cringe or show I was hurt.
"Whats wrong with your back did he hurt you again?! He did didn't he! I am saying this to someone. It can't go on any longer, I will tell the police"
"No Leon please, him and Josh are the only family I have left" I pleaded
"If he does this once more, I will say something to police!"
We scurried of the bus and went to the lockers and then to changing room.

I went into the small cubical relieved that no one was using it and went to take off my my dark black shirt; I hissed in pain.
"Are you ok in there Jarred?" Leon called to me in concern
"Yeah fine" my voice wavered.

I quickly just took my shirt off and I put on my trainer's, joggers and rugby shirt. And packed everything, I jogged out of the cubicle and waited for Leon to tie up his laces.

Today class you're going to jog around the college 20 times and will meet up back here. I started on a slow jog as soon as his whistle blew and slowly sped up after the 3rd lap I had to take a break, the gash was hurting too much. I sat in the shade and took a long drink out of my water bottle.
"Are you alright? You're shaking like a leaf" Leon looked down at my left wrist; I quickly covered the sleeve with my right hand. I grabbed my bottle in a hurry ready to escape but he grabbed my left wrist and slid his hand quickly into mine, he held tightly onto my hand and examined the bruises on my wrist.
"I need to help you Jarred" he told me, sadly shaking his head
"I don't...I don't" I was at loss for words. So instead I did the only thing I knew I ran 2 more laps until the gashes on my back and the one on my chest began to burn even more than what they did from the start.

I kept going until I got to the section with the bottle were I bent to pick up my bottle, my knees wobbled under me and I nearly lost balance. A pair of strong arms caught me around my shoulders before I got any further: I managed to get my bearings and steadied myself. I sat on the bench quickly emptying my bottle.
"You need a shower" Leon said looking down on me
"Yeah I will go in a minute" I replied and drank the last mouth full of water " Ok lets go" I stood up and headed for the direction to the shower rooms.

I took off my jeans and socks and left everything else on including my shirt as other people may see whats under it and then my dad would get questioned.
I stepped under the cool water in one of the shower cubicles rinsing down my back, I hissed as the water came in contact directly on the gash. I leaned my head against the tiled wall and raised my hands above my head, letting the water run over me. I decided to take my shirt off as it was starting to rub against the gash and piece of clothing got caught.

"DO YOU NEED ANY HELP?" Leon shouted above the sound of the running water.
"YEAH MATE IF YOU DON'T MIND I CANT GET MY SHIRT OFF ITS STUCK TO MY CUTS" I called back, and close my eyes.
I felt Leon's hands go up my undershirt slowly rising it up to my shoulders ripping off the bits of scabs that were stuck to it I hiss in pain and my hands turn into fists,I keep my eyes tightly closed, Leon then pulls my shirt up my arms and off, Leon chucks it into a corner, he then grabbed at my hips possessively and lean's his head against the centre of my back. He then rests his chin on my shoulder and kissed my shoulder and leaves a trail of kisses up towards my ear then he whisperer's in my ear " I have always wanted to do that to you and more. " Leon moves his hands from my hips and strokes the tips of his finger up my back then he breathed out a sigh "I won't let you get hurt by him again" I took a step away and turned around so we were face to face. Leon dragged my hips towards him and quickly grouped my ars through my boxers and slapped his lips against mine. "No Leon" I pushed at his chest, Leon took a step away from me. " I,I, I am sorry" Leon stammers I pusht past him and out of the shower rooms, I dress as quickly as a can and decide to just go for a walk, to clear my .
