Broken (Solangelo Mortal AU)

Quatre

I walked into the door, my body littered with cuts, bruises, and scrapes. Hazel saw me and said, "Oh my god! What happened? Was it Octavian again? Do I need to have Frank hurt someone? Because he will."
'No he won't. He's a teddy bear who wouldn't hurt a fly and we both know it. And of course it was Octavian. But I'm fine, don't worry about me. How are you doing?' I wrote out.
"I'm fine! You're the one whose hurt! It's a miracle you've stayed alive this long with all of the pain and suffering you've endured. You need to get you a man who can protect you."
'Haven't you think I've looked?! Nobody wants to date the cancerous piece of trash you're talking to. Not since what happened with Percy.'
"Somebody will love you. I promise. You just haven't found them yet. And forget about Percy. He's a worthless nobody who doesn't deserve to occupy your thoughts."
'You think so?' I quickly scrawled out.
"Yeah I really do. I love you, bro, even if you don't think anyone does." She said as she ruffled my hair.
'Love you too. Even when you're annoying as hell.'
"Language, mister!" She joked, chuckling softly.
'Whatever. I got to do some homework now.' I lied, knowing full well I finished it during the school day.
"Okay, bub! I'll see you around dinner time, I guess."
As I headed up the stairway to my room, the day's events replayed in my head like a broken record.
...
Octavian shoved me against the wall. Two of his goons held me up as he landed punch after punch on my chest, stomach, and head. After one particularly strong punch directly to the groin, the imbeciles let go of me and I keeled over on the rough concrete, scraping my hands and knees in the process. I begin to feel bile rising in my throat, and I swallow hard. While I'm on the ground, Octavian takes the opportunity to kick me in the ribs. Pain shoots through my body and the wind is knocked out of me. I begin to cough up blood.
"Oh, you done so soon? Come on, I know you can handle more than this, you faggot," he drawls, kicking me in the face.
I feel something wet and sticky on my face. I touch my nose. It's contorted into an odd shape and is covered in blood.
'Great,' I think, 'it's broken. Of fucking course.' My head was throbbing and I felt the world spinning. With one final kick to the stomach, the world went in and out of focus and then turned black.

Ok so I'm not making it 1000 words like I said bc I want to release it earlier. If I did go with my original plan then I would have had to release this in like 4 days and I don't want y'all to wait that long so here it is! Anyway, until next update!
Au Revoir,
