2Doc, a Time Bomb

Chapter 20

2D's POV

I felt my father's fist collide with my jaw over and over again. I'm pretty sure he had broken my jaw.
Wouldn't be the first time.

He then threw me to the floor.
"NO SON OF MINE WILL EVER BE A FAGGOT! DO YOU HEAR ME?!"
"Y-yes" I open my mouth and stutter as I feel a tear of mascara fall into my mouth. I could see my reflection through the oven door, my face looked like a mess with it being covered in makeup, tears and blood. I then felt a sharp pain in my side. He was furiously kicking me. I began coughing up blood. Oh shit he's going to fucking end me.

The kicking stopped as my mother was continuously beging him to stop.
"Shut it Rachel! This is partly your fault that our son is trying to be a fucking queer! You let him do whatever he wants! You have no control on the boy! He needs to learn his lesson!" He shouted as my mother helplessly ran out the front door crying.
She's gone. She left me alone. With him. This is the end.
"And a lesson he surely will learn...." my father said looking down at me.

"Get up Stuart! Now!"
I try my best to get up and hold onto the side of a counter. The pain is unbearable though and it takes everything I've got just to cling onto the countertop without falling back down.
I watch as my father unbuckles his belt from his trousers. No. I know what is coming. This hasn't happened since I was a kid.
"Take down that bloody woman's skirt you're wearing!" He commands.
I fiddle with the zipper that was on the back of the skirt trying to open it but my hands we covered in blood so they keep slipping. He had obviously become impatient and came behind me ripping the zipper completely off, the skirt then came down a little.
"Please-e dad".
"Shut up and take them down as well" he said gesturing to my pants.
I was too weak to argue so down my boxers went. My ass out in the open.
"This will teach you a goddamn lesson boy!" He shouted as I felt the lash of his belt hit my bare ass. I yelped in pain.
He continued to whip me until I physically wasn't able to stand and I collapsed.

He huffed and I watched him walk to the front door saying something along the lines of that if he ever saw my nails painted again he'd rip them off. He slammed the front door, leaving me all alone with my body covered in blood, bruises and whip marks.
I sat on the kitchen floor crying my eyes out in unbelievable pain. I saw there was a knife on the shelf above me. I reached up and grabbed it, then began doing what I do best.
I don't want my life to end, I just want to feel numb forever.

Murdoc's POV

I had just pulled up outside of Dent's house. I beeped on the car horn twice. After a minute there was no sign of him. I beeped again but for longer this time signalling for him to hurry up. I waited a couple more minutes.
Oh for the love of Satan where is this child?

I got out of my car and marched up to his house, knocking on the front door.
Nobody answered. Did he get a lift with someone else? I lifted the doormat to see a spare key. Idiot, everyone knows that hiding place.
I unlocked the front door and walked in. I quickly heard the sound of someone sobbing. I walked through his sitting room and into his kitchen.
Oh fuck. I immediately see Dents sitting on the floor in a pink torn skirt, his face black and blue and covered in blood with mascara running all over it. His wrists. There was blood all over them as well. Oh fuck.
"Dents" I breathed
"Go away" he sobbed
I rushed over and bent down beside him. "No. What the bloody hell happened to you?!"
"It's all my fault!" He sobbed and grabbed my t-shirt forcing me to hug him. I hugged him back, feeling sorry for him. He's going to bleed to death. I quickly remembered that D has a first aid kit in his room. I sprinted upstairs, got it and came back down. Upon my return to the kitchen D very quietly said "oh, I thought you had left"
"I'd never leave you 2D"
And then I began to clean and bandage up his wrists. "Don't you ever do that to yourself again, you hear me?" I said sternly. He looked terrified but nodded in agreement.
"Now will you tell me who the bloody hell attacked you?!"
"It um was my um dad, he thinks I'm a fag"
I felt the anger rise inside of me. I had never in my life felt this angry. How could his own father do that?! I mean my father is bad but I'm an ass so I probably deserve it but 2D is sweet as hell, how could he?!
"I'LL KILL THAT BASTARD" I shouted
"Mudz, please don't make me stay 'ere with him tonight"
"Don't worry luv, you can come home with me for tonight" I then lifted him off of the ground bridal style as he was light as hell. He yelped. "Dents what's wrong?" He then explained to me how his father had whipped him with his leather belt. I felt what was ever left of my heart break for the kid.
"Don't worry 2D that is the last time you will ever see that bastard again, I'll kill him if it's the last thing I do!" I promised through gritted teeth.

I lifted him out to the car.
"Dents you know you can't go back to school or go out in public until your face and wounds have healed"
"Ehhhh why not Mudz?"
"Cause I'll get expelled if you do"
