It all started when I was only 5 years old, my family was you know the usual, a mom that doesn't do shit and a dad who drinks and beats you till u scream. With bruises that will be there for weeks, and only waited till another day to be beaten. It was a normal life like any other. I know it will happen when he slams the door and tells may name, "Tommy! Get ur fucking ass down here, you worthless peice of shit!" And when I went down he had a belt with metal all over it. I could smell the beer from my room and it seemed he be drenched in it that when you wringed it out beer or any other substances would just drip out.
Mom would usually be passed out on the couch or bed high on crack or coke usually anything she could get her hands on. Then after he be done beating me he'll throw me in my room, and basically rape my mom when she'll be passed out. I've never had a very happy childhood at all, I had no friends, no animals, and basically no parents. So I would stay in my room or the very back of classrooms. People would feel bad for me cause of it but I would just ignore it and shrug it off because I knew they didn't mean it, they only said it to make me feel better about myself, which was bullshit.
But then all that changed when I found someone. Someone who actually understands what I go through all the time, he has no name but he's pretty scary looking. Other people can't see him but he scared people because he usually just throws shit across classrooms and makes me laugh all the time. He usually says he's here to make me happy and I usually am when he's there. He also said he won't let nobody hurt me at all, when I got home one day from school my dad was there again drunk and ready to beat, but when he hit me the first time I heard him scream and bones snapping and then nothing, I look up to find I'm literally tied with bones sticking out of his head and body and hanging from the roof of the house and just blood dripping from is neck because it looked like a knife was slit there.
My mother woke up to that and screamed and shook me so hard I passed out but I could still hear shit. I heard her scream as well and bones snapping but then a horrific gasp for air then a slam to the floor. I woke to find myself inside of a white room then realized I was in the hospital, then three police men came into my room and asked, "So little man why did you kill your mommy and daddy?" One police officer said. "Umm.... I didn't kill them.... M..my friend did." I pointed at him and then the police officers looked and said "There is nobody there. What are you pointing at??" I yelled, "HE'S RIGHT THERE, WHY CANT YOU SEE HIM!!!" They walked out of the room, 5 minutes later one said he come one we are going for a ride, I got up, and went with him to his car. We went to this strange place, it was big and looked nice. We went in and they took my hand and brought me to a room where they gave me a pill in a cup with some water, then I threw the cup onto the employee, then two more people came in and held me down to force the pill down my throat, I kicked and screamed so loud then they gave me a shot and I fell asleep.
