....it's cruel how people can be..
The things they are able to do...
The pain and suffering they can cause... I'm ashamed,  angry and mostly shocked.... I sigh closing my pc heading to the banging on the door...

"Alex ! You okay, is Thomas okay ? What's wrong ???" questioned Chris the family doctor worried

"I'm fine Chris so as dad he is still in new York"  I replied

"then why you called so terrified Alex what's wrong" 

" someone I want you to see doc,  he is in really bad shape, like really bad and I can't take him to the hospital coz I don't want the questioning, that's why I called you, did you bring everything you need ? " I said to him trying to convince him to not tell me to go to the hospital

" hey I don't want to get in trouble you hear !! so whatever you are planning better drop it,and yeah I brought my stuffs so where is this person ? "

" upstairs, I'll explain everything to you I promise Chris just..... the boy really needs your help, so please ?" I pleaded
....

I opened the guest room quietly peeking in till I see him curled again on the floor, in the corner... I sigh and get in followed by Chris

"this is him..."  i look at Chris trying to read his facial expression, he looks at the boy than back at me then back at the boy again

"who is he ?"

I explained to him that I found him in the street alone so I brought him

" I want to make sure he is okay then I'll take him to the police "

"are you sure this is a good idea ?"

I looked at the boy and he was kinda shaking looking down like the floor like it was the most interesting thing to him.

I walked slowly to him and I see how he tenses trying to look up at me but somehow couldn't manage
I knelt infront of him

"hey there kido,  um.... You see this guy is a doctor and... Hé...he is going to see your injuries, he is going to help you okay ?" I tried looking at his face but his blond kinda grey hair hid most of it

" can you please go to bed and let the doctor see you huh !?" the boy slowly made a small nod

I helped him go to bed to make it easy on the doctor to examine him, I told Chris to cooperate with him, that the boy is jumpy and scared.

Chris stepped closer and stood infront of the kid

"hey kid, I'm Chris, I'm going to check on you okay ?!"
The skinny boy thought for a bit the nod his fingers gripping tightly on the too big shirt

"um.... Is something hurting you, are you hurt somewhere, you can tell me so that I know where the problem is ?" he asked the kid even tho I told him about the injuries

The boy didn't say anything...

Chris looked at me confused than looked back at the boy

" can you please remove your shirt kido ? "

With shaking hands the boy took of the shirt,, I closes my eyes at the sight again then looked at Chris who covered his mouth looking at me with eyes wide open

" m..my... God Alex, w....what is this?"
I just shook my head desperate didn't know what to say...

" okay uuum....okay uh I need to ask him some questions.. Alright uuum..kid ? " he knelt to see the boy's face " kid listen, I need you to answer my questions okay ?"
The boy hesitated but nod, why is he so quiet
