Why Me

Carl's pov

Today's the day, and by that I mean I tell Andrew what really happened all thoughs years. Yes it's going to be very hard for me, yes I'm going to cry, but he needs to know. I know he wants to know so he can protect me, as of right now I only trust him with this information. You can call me a coward all you want he's the one who's been here through everything since they found out. It's late at night and tomorrow I get to go back to school so I decided now is the time to tell him. As I was about to get up Andrew walked in.

Hey why you still up? He asked me

I really don't know, i responded shocking him because it was the first time I've spoken in about three days.

Okay well don't stay up to late, he said

Wait i want to talk to you, i said, he then turned around and look at me confused. He came over and sat on the edge of my bed and I sat up. I just wanted to thank you for everything you've done for me. Taking me in, protecting me, and just in general for everything.

You don't have to thank me, you're like the son i never had i will always do anything for you. He said putting a hand on my shoulder

I'm know and that's why you need to know the whole story about what went on in my house, i said looking at him

You don't have to that's very personal to you, he said giving me a sympathetic look

I'm sure you need to know, i said taking a deep breath. It started when I was four. My mom was pregnant and had a miss carage, that's when the abuse started they always blamed me for the babies death. For a while I thought it was true i really thought it was my fault. Until I started school it was a slap here or there, but then it was a daily fifteen punches it was to make sure I never told. It worked it really did. Then when I was ten they beat be until I said yes to audition for the show. It stopped for a little while until they realized they could still beat me i was a little kid i played outside they could say I tripped or something. And I have always been good in school so when I started bringing home low A's they got really aggressive to the point w-where t-t-h-h-they paid p-p-people T-to do t-things T-to m-me. And R-right a-a-about T-t-that time y-y-yall f-fo-found out. After I was done talking I was a sobbing mess. Sometime while I was talking Andrew pulled me in a hug.

I'm so sorry chandler, you should have never went through that kind of life, Andrew said sounding like he was crying with me. I don't remember when but sometimes that night I fell asleep on Andrews shoulder.
