Albus' P.O.V

I was wrapped in the arms of the one I loved most and then I wasn't. I felt the squeeze of apparation and then I was in a small room. It was dark and damp and cold. I was lying on the stone floor next to a thin blanket and a chamber pot. I sat up and looked around. There was nothing else in the room but the blanket and pot. There was a door but it was one like in Gringotts so only one person could open it. What was I doing here? 

"Hello? Please let me out! I- I don't know w-why I'm here! Help! Anybody!" I yelled, trying to sound brave but my stutter betrayed me. I stuttered when I was nervous, a side affect from when I was beaten by my mother. 

"P-please! I-I have a b-boyfriend who loves me a-and I-I'm only t-thirteen! P-please j-just let m-me go!" I said, my voice breaking at the end. I curled up on the floor and began to cry. I had just told Scorpius that I loved him. I was finally happy and whoever it was had to go and ruin it. I cried myself to sleep, waking up when I heard the door unlock. 

"Albus?" It was my mother's voice. I heard her approach me and touch my shoulder. 

"GET AWAY FROM ME!" I screamed, jumping away from her. Her eyes flashed dangerously. "Don't you dare talk to me like that young man!" She scolded, coming up and slapping me harshly across the face. I wimpered and curled up against the cold stone wall. She pulled out her wand and pointed it at me. 

"Encarcerous!" She said, ropes streaming from her wand tip and binding my arms and legs so tight that I could feel them biting into my skin. I cried out, earning a punch in the eye. Tears pooled but I held them back knowing that it would only be worse if I cried. She sighed and left the room. Oh Merlin please save me.

I sat there for what felt like forever before calling out. "Please mum, I'm hungry! P-please l-let me g-go!" I bit my lip. I hated my stutter. She opened the door and stepped inside. I looked up at her pleadingly. "Faggots like you don't deserve to eat. Until you stop your disgusting ways you will not sleep or eat. How dare you even talk to me? How dare you ask anything of me? Filthy scum!" She said in a disgusted voice that was reserved for insects, rats and me. She kicked me in the ribs repeatedly until I felt one crack, letting a cry escape my mouth. She kneeled down slapped me on the face over and over until it was completely numb. "Stupid fag." She spat and walked out of the room. 

The ropes cut into my skin so much that they began to bleed. My ribs hurt and my eye was swollen shut. She came repeatedly and beat me while holding a picture of Scorpius in front of my face so that I began to associate the pain with him. Eventually I just stopped feeling. Everything was numb and the pain just blended in with the rest. Scorpius' became a face that I feared not loved. I no longer cried or screamed. I no longer felt anything emotionally. Everything just became a blur of pain and more pain. I remember being beat one last time before I blacked out and didn't wake up. 

Sorry that was short and very distressing... I actually have no idea how I didn't cry writing this sorry :/ You all probably hate me rn so I'm not gonna ask for votes or anything... so just keep reading! I think it will get better but tbh I actually have no idea so that's great!
