"It all s-started when I was around 7 years old, my m-mom had just got her n-new job as a paramedic, she worked really long h-hours and I-i didn't get to see her much, meaning I was left with my father.. Charles." link was fiddling with the scruffy cast on his other hand as he spoke.
" He wasnt a n-n-nice man, he was angry that I was b-born.
He said that I was a mistake and regretted not forcing my m-mom to abort me.

I can't really remember anything before I was around 7 and that makes me really sad for having him as one of my first memories.

My father was a smoker and a drinker and when his drinking got really bad, he would.. He would h-hit me and my  mom. One of the scariest times had i been with him was when I came down stairs and heard them two fighting!.. My mom never fought back against him but this time she was. She was screaming and shouting him things like "I'M FED UP OF THIS I WOULD RATHER KILL MYSELF THAN PUT UP WITH YOU!!.
A part of me was so proud and wanted to cheer her on, but the other part of me knew that he would overpower her within a few minutes.

And he did.

My dad punched my mom straight r-round the f-face and she was out cold on the floor.
The next thing I saw was his eyes burning straight through my soul, he saw me.

my heart stopped as he started to run straight toward me yelling, I knew i couldn't outrun him so i just did the usual, which was curling up in a ball and waiting for it to be over.

His tense grubby hands clamped onto my small fragile arms, as he proceeded to shake me around like a ragdoll, yelling in my face. He knew that when he hurt me, it  hurt my mom even more and thats what he craved.

That night my father did unthinkable things to me... things i can't talk about.. ever, i-i- i hope you understand Rhett, you understand right?" Link looked up at Rhett, He could see that Rhett was holding back tears "Yeah buddy, i totally understand." he smiled as a tear fell down his cheek, but link shakily lifted his weak arm and wiped it away.

"Well anyway, the main thing is my father was a horrible monster to me and my mother, and even though i can't remember anything before the age of seven, i still found scars on me that i was pretty sure my father did.

H-Hey um do you remember when i told you i fell through the prickles and thats why there are scars on my back?" Link asked, "Oh gosh yes i do but that wasnt the truth was it." Rhett s couldn't help himself but feel the one to blame for believing links lie back then.

"No, my dad made tell that lie to anyone asked about the scars. The truth about the scars on my back is that he burn his cigarettes on me for no reason, he also beat me with his belt too."

"THAT FUCKING DICK!" Rhetts face was now filled with fury towards Links father, he thought that if he ever saw his face he would literally murder him slowly and painfully.

"Shhhh Rhett don't raise your voice, also things started to get better though.

My mom managed to escape from him and get help, she got divorced and was living with her alone. It was also a great year because it was the year i started school and met you!!"

Rhett had a large grin on his face after hearing that.

"I remember not talking to anyone the first day and the teachers forcing me to join in, but i hated it. Then the next day we had actual classes and had to sit next to people. I got sat next to you.

I remember you nudged me and pointed at your desk which had "Hi :)" doodled on it. That was the first time i smiled in ages, then i wrote hi back on my desk with a smiley face too, at this moment i didnt understand what i was feeling, but now i know that it was a feeling of true friendship.

Also about 2 years into our friendship was about the happiest time of life, it was just your family and my mom, but one day i came home from your house to see my mom crying. She used to cry a lot but not this extreme. I asked her what happened and she just started to apologising over and over, then finally she said it.. "You are going to see your father every weekend.. i'm so sorry." My mind filled with fear, anger and total confusion. "WHAT?! H-HOW N-NO WAY I-I CAN'T MOM HE'S GONNA K-KILL  ME!!!!!!!" Not knowing how to express my feelings just started crying and ran to my room and started kicking and punching everything... t-that was the first time pain felt good.

The first time i saw him again was fine because there was a social worker with me, the second time she wasnt there. Just me and my nightmare.

I will never understand what drove him to hurt me, he despised me and made me know that. He also knew that when he hit me to make sure it was where no one would see eg. in my hair, on my bottom and thieghs.

And that carried on for years every saterday and sunday, thats why i was always "tired" when i came back from my dads house. eventually my mom found the marks on me and she called the police. They interviewed me but i refused to talk to them as my father told me "if you say anything, i will kill your mom and your stupid little friend rhett, then i will keep you with me untill the day i die" i-i remember his exact words.

By the end of that, he got put in prison for 5 years..  only 5 fucking years. now all that was left was my mom who was pretty messed up in the head and me... im messed up in the head too, but i learned how to cope with the emotional pain too. I-it all started with a few bruises on my arms, then stabbing my self with needles and it just progressed from there, its like n addiction Rhett.. it stops the pain!"

Link hearbeat monitor started to get faster and Rhett started to panic "whoa link link!?" He pressed the nurse button as Link started to dig his fingers into his scarred arms.

"OH MY UM HOLD ON.." the nurse walked in and her face changed to shock, he called down the corridor "We need ketamine ASAP!!" and two doctors ran in the room with a needle, then stabbed it into links neck without hesitation.

Links panicing slowed but he started repeating "I will be a good boy! Please Father dont!!!" over and over, then his speech started to slur and he fell asleep.

"What the hell was that?!" Rhett said crying, "He seemed to be having PTSD symptoms.. what where you two talking about?" The doctor said patching up links bloody arms.

"His past.. he was fine until he started talking about.. h-hurting himself." Rhett looked to the floor, tears falling onto his shoes.

"He will wake up i about 10 mins.. oh and please dont talk about anything that might upset him, as you can see, he is really unstable.

The doctors left.
