"Uh... my mother... abusive. I wouldn't call her mother. She adopted me. To hurt me. She got me cause I more durable." He stifled a sniffle. "I... uh.., she had friend. Multiple friend. All girls. All hungry. Lived out in woods. No one can hear scream from there." He looked up at Daveed, who was listening calmly. "They rape. They beat. They torture. They hate. Been like that for long time. Twenty year. Years. Long time. One day, only a month ago, I got sudden urge to push one friend. Push on of her friend off me." He shook his head. "Should no do that. Bad idea. Bad move."
"They stumble back. There was expensive antique vase. Shiny crystal flower inside. She rammed into it. It broke. Mother scream. At first- thought she scream at friend. But then she grab me. Most furious I ever see her. She was mad. Her friend grab whip. She gave mother whip. Friend back was bleeding... Mother chained me to floor. It was concrete room. Punish room. She whip me. Whip me so many time, lost count. She left me on floor for days. I would think. There was no single window in house. I was no in chain. She forgot to lock door in state of fury. I got out. My back burn. I grabbed a random backpack. I run out house. But mother... In sleep, she poisoned me. With what I don't know. She noticed me open door. She yelled at me. Send scary hounds to chase me. I went to town. Passed out. End up here." He finished.
Daveed was covering his mouth. He processed the information.

~Daveed's POV
Gee, poor guy. I don't know what to say. That was horrible. If I ever found that lady.... ugh. Disgusting.
"Does it still hurt? Your back." I asked. Benny nodded. "Every day I wake up. It burn. Oh how it burn." He sighed. He shivered. "I don't know if that made me feel better." He said. He finally started crying. I watch him, not knowing what to say. Or do. Usually I'd give someone a hug or pat their shoulder. But it would be hard with this guy. "Hey, Bens." I said. Benny looked at me. I slowly pit my hand on his shoulder. "You's safe here. You's will be happy here!"
Benny looked away. He got up. "I... I don't even know if I can be happy. I can't even smile right." He said while walking away. He left all his tea beside my bed.
Suddenly my room felt empty. I frowned.
I want to help him. All of us need to help him.
I lay back down and try to sleep. But my thoughts were too full.
(Short chapter, I know. Sorry.)
