Living with the Joseph's (in major editing)

Chapter 8

Josh pøv
I ran so fast. Faster then i thought I could ever go. I ran from my 'home'. "Josh get back here! You are not allowed to run from me! I was talking to you!" My foster father ran after me. I blinked and all of a sudden I felt hands on me and I tumbled down the hill next to are house. You could here my ear piercing scream all the way from China. "You fucking idiot I was talking to you why'd you run!" My foster father said In a harsh whisper, most likely so the neighbors won't get suspicious even though I just screamed. He pulled me up and dragged me to the old worn down house I called home. When we entered the door my foster mom was waiting there with a belt in her hands. She smiled and hugged my foster father, and passes him the belt or as I like to call it the 'torture device'. He took one side and without warning hit me with the metal part on my face making an immediate bruise start to form. He hit me once, twice then 10 more times while I just let out pained cries. My foster mother staring, looking guilty but just standing doing nothing. "Next time put more effort on your goddamn grades!" With one more smack he left me a mess on the floor.
I was jolted awake by prince jumping on my bed and nudging me. My breathes were uneven and quick. I pet prince trying to calm down. 'It's ok just a dream' I tried telling myself. 'But wait this did happen it's not a dream... it's a memory oh god' I burst out into tears. The really loud ones that you can't lower your voice. Brendon shifted in his bed and stared at me. Confused as to why I was crying loudly petting my dog at 3am. "Is it another dream" he asked with one of those stupid looking sympathetic faces people give me. "It's not a dream, a memory. Why can't my life just be normal... why am I so haunted by this past. It's done I have a good life now but I'm still acting like a baby." I couldn't help but be annoyed at myself. "It's ok the good thing is... your getting better now. That bastard you called your father-"
"Foster father" I cut him off.
"Ok well that bastard you called your step father is in jail for the rest of his life. And your step mother is too" Brendon said with a smile. "I know... thanks bren, you always help" by now my breaths were even and I was all calm. "Well go back to sleep because..." Brendon looked at the nightstand next to his and Tyler's bed, "3:30am and we have school tomorrow. I don't think you have to go because of the panic attack thing... but I have to go so I'm going to sleep." I shook my head yes "k bren goodnight sleep tight and don't let the bedbugs bite" I said while laying bag down and putting my hand back on prince head. "Goodnight josh. You should sleep too" I hummed a yes but knew very well tonight I was gonna get little sleep. That's just how these nights are.
----------------------
I felt a tap on my shoulder and quickly opened my eyes flinching. After realizing it was mrs Joseph I calmed a bit. "Good morning sweetheart how's your sleep" I shrugged as a response saying no words. She tilted her head "wanna go to school or would you rather stay here?" I nodded "stay here please." "Ok we'll go back to sleep then" I nodded laying my head back on my pillow and I was taken by sleep.
----------------------
That day was one of those lazy days. When Brendon came back from school with Tyler he sat with me watching x-files. And just like that day turned to night.
