"Do you have any other bands that you like?" Takashi pulled up to a stop sign.

"I love NF." I looked out the window.

"What do you mean love?" He seemed a bit surprised but his voice had a hint of jealousy and angry. Honestly, I didn't really understand...

"His music speaks to me, I can relate to a lot of his words I guess." I smiled leaning against my door. We pulled up to my house. "Thank you for the ride."

"Yeah." Weird... why is he being silent. I swear I don't understand him sometimes.

"See ya tomorrow at school." I smiled. He nodded then pulled out of my driveway and drove off. I turned around and looked up to see my eyes locked with Eric's. He looked sad and desperate. I looked away pissed and annoyed with him. When I walked into my house, something grabbed my wrist yanking me only to cause me to fall to my knees. My step dad towering over me as my mother sat on the couch smoking from her pipe glaring at me.

"Care to explain why I got a call saying you didn't show up to school today?" Her voice drowned in disgust. CRAP!!! I totally forgot about that...

"I was at school the whole day... " I looked away. I tried to sit up but my father grabbed me by my neck lifting my feet off the ground.

"Stop lying you faggot." My mother raised her voice. "Did you fuck the other faggot? Did your balls finally drop? Low enough for you to lie to me?" I glared at my father as he smirked then threw me back to the ground. I gasped for air. My mother cuffed my wrists together then cuffed my ankles together. My father tied rope around around the cuffs on my ankles as he dragged me up the stairs towards my room.

"STOP!" I screamed on the top of my lungs as my head kept hitting each stair that I was dragged up.

"KAEDE!" I heard Jun s voice scream. I looked up seeing him and Hide at the bottom of the stairs.

"Stay away!" I cried.

"KAEDE!" Hide screamed as he began to run up the stairs. Jun held him back. I would have thought it would be the complete opposite... but I'm glad to know Hide loves me more then he shows, and for Jun to obey me makes me happy to know they won't get in trouble... "Thank you." I mouthed to both boys as they both cried at the bottom of the stairs. I saw my mom's arms wrap around them, her eyes glaring cold ice daggers towards me. Father pulled the string controlling the opening for the attic and my eyes widen.

"N-N-NO!"I screamed as he pulled down the rest of the stairs leading up to the attic. "PLEASE!" I tried holding onto each step that I could hold but my grip was too weak. I could feel blood drop from my fingertips as father finally got me into the attic. He dragged me to the back of the attic where my old chains awaited me. He untied the rope only to be replaced by the chains then a lock. 

"You're going to stay in here till I see fit." He glared at me walking down. It's been a while since I've been in the attic. The last time I was up here, they forgot about me and I was up here for a few days... fuck me... I curled into a ball and closed me eyes. Can I just die now?

"That's right, wish to die. Takashi only used you for sex, he never cared for you. You're a piece of shit. Why would Eric sit by you and rub your leg so easily? It's because he also just wanted you for sex. You were born for people's entertainment, nothing more, nothing less. I hope you're satisfied with your pathetic self. No one will come for you, no one will care, no one will realize you aren't at school. No one will realize when you're dead." The voice inside my head laughed.

"Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up!" I cried holding my hands to my ears.

~Takashi POV~

It's been a 3 days since I last saw Kaede. He hasn't shown up to school and he isn't answering my texts or calls. And what's worse, I've had a bad feeling after I dropped him off.

"Brother, he's fine." My 7 year old sister Alexa said rubbing my back.

"Why can't I get this bad feeling away?" I put hands on both of my temples. All of a sudden my phone rang and I quickly picked up, seeing Kaedes name flash.

"Kaede?!" I answer angry but also happy to know he's okay.

"No, this his younger brother Jun."

"Wh-what?" The bad feeling came back. I remember Jun, he was the really sweet one I met with Kaede at the music store.

"Takashi, I need your help!" Jun sounded as if he's been crying.

"What's wrong, why are you calling from Kaede's phone?! Where is he?!"

"The day you brought him back, the school had just called saying he was absent so mother and father beat him again and then dragged him to the attic locking him in there. He's been up there for 3 days now, they haven't been feeding him, they go up there once in a while to beat him, but I'm scared. He needs you." Jun said beginning to cry at the end.

"I'll be right there!" I then hung up.

"MOM!" I yelled. She rushed around the corner and I slipped my shoes on.

"What?!" She sounded panicked.

"Kaede needs our help!" I grabbed her wrist, and Alexa had the car keys.

"What's going on?" Mom asked as she drove us out of the driveway.

"Kaede has drunk and abusive parents. They locked him up in the attic for 3 days now and only go up there to beat him once in a while. They haven't fed him. He needs me!" I clenched my fists until they were ghostly white. When mom pulled up I ran up to the front door as Jun and his older brother opened it up.

"Take me to him now!" I demanded. Jun grabbed my hand leading me up the stairs. The other brother  behind me as my family followed him. I reached up as high as I could grabbing onto the string and pulling down the attic stairs.

"KAEDE!" I screamed on the top of my lungs as I lunged up the stairs. "Oh my god..." I trailed off seeing him curled up against the back wall. "MOM CALL 911!" I yelled. I ran up to Kaede cradling him in my arms.

"Takashi." He quietly whispered. He was shirtless, he had cuts and bruises all over his body and all along his arms and few cuts in his face.

"Please hurry, his breathing is very shallow!" My mom yelled in the phone as she sat next to me. She had Alexa and the two boys wait outside.

"I am so so so sorry." Tears rushed down my face. I could see the skin trace along his ribs. I heard the ambulances and people rushing into the house. One of the doctors pushed me and my mom aside.

"I need bolt cutters!" The doctor yelled then she looked at us. "Who are you?"

"I'm the one who called for help." My mother said getting defensive.

"He's my boyfriend." I stated glaring at her. She was handed the bolt cutters then cut the chains in middle on his wrists and ankles then the one chain holding onto the chains around cuffs around his ankles. They rushed in and out of the house and put him in the ambulance. I saw Eric watching everything from his front lawn. Our eyes locked as I got in the  ambulance with Kaede. His eyes had panic and sadness swirled within them. My family and his two brothers followed behind in my mom's car.

"You said he was your boyfriend, right?" The doctor asked as she gave him a shot as he began to start a seizer.

"Y-yes." I said panicking.

"What's his name?!" She flipped him onto his side.

"Kaede, Kaede Thompson." We reached the hospital and they took him to the critical section of the hospital. "Please, please, please, please don't go." I cried. My mother and sister hugged me as the two brothers hugged each other crying.
