Painful Life: Garmau AU

Chapter 5

(Im writing this at 4am so sorry if there's some mistakes)

Aphmau's POV:
The school day ended, and I'm walking home. Today we came out early so I'm definetely heading to the park. I dont think my dad would even care if I'm home or not. I doubt he would even care if I went missing. But sadly enough, that is my life. I enter the park and I fo to my secluded area. Most people dont know about this place because there are so many trees surrounding it, so nobody would find me here. I sit down under a big tree that provides shade, and plug in my earphones into my phone. I look through all the songs and play 'Faster Car'.

I really love this song. I dont know why, I just love it. Halway through the song, I hear some ruffling sounds.

And then Garroth emerges from the trees. I look at him surprised that he could find me. "Garroth?" I say. "Aphmau?" He replied. "What are you doing here?" I ask him. "I like to come here sometimes" he said. "Same. I come here sometimes before going to school when I go out early enough since I live close by" I said. "Oh you live close by? Mind If i pay a visit sometime?" He asked me. My eyes widen. My dad would kill me if I bought someone home. Literally. "Uhmm.. Sorry but no. I-I have a very s-strict dad" I say sadly laughing. I dont want him to think I dont want him over. "Oh I understand. My dad was like that too" he said quietly. My eyes widen again and I ask," he was?". "Heh yeah. When my mother was diagnosed with a horrible and fatal disease, he had blamed it on me and my 2 younger brothers. He would also beat us too.

Flashback

Garroth's POV
"You little brats! It's all your fault your mother is about to die!" He yelled as he was repeatedly kicked me in the gut. All I was able to do was shriek in pain. My father was about to punch me and I waited for the blow. But i never got it. But Instead my youngest brother,Vylad(vylad is the youngest right?) , jumped in front of me and got punched right in the left cheek instead of me. My eyes widen in disbelief and I stare at Vylad in pain.

He slowly rose up from the floor and had his left arm holding on to his left cheek. His lip was bleeding. He doesn't deserve this! He's only 9! "Vylad, run away!" "N-no.. I'll stay here w-with y-you.." Vylad managed to muffle out. He was barely able to talk.
