Flowers and thorns

Chapter 1

He could never remember what hurt more that day. The fire that engulfed him. The pain on his leg when it hit the cold stone floor of his cell. Or the worst the harassment, the suffering and way he had to look at the others when they had finally broken on the inside and out.

————————————————————————

Taehyung awoke by the sound of birds chirping, and the sun that hit his eyes from the slit in the curtains. He got up from his bed and wondered if he had any marks from the tatami mat on his face. But shrugged the feeling off and decided to put his T-shirt on and get dressed. He looked out side of the window and made sure that his parents were gone and he could leave his 'home'. He texted his friends to see if any were able to hang out at he skate park. When they texted him  back they said.

"No sorry bro maybe next time"

He felt a little more empty because he knew that their parents told them they couldn't, and Tae's parents didn't care.

He looked out the window again to make sure there was no one there, then when the coast was clear he jumped from his bedroom the the grassy back garden. Then walked out through the gate and to the place where his feet took him. He went to the busy shopping parts of Japan and the quiet parks with his headphones in and hood up , he felt unwanted everywhere. Then he started to walk in to the forest ,it was always an escape for him. He found a abandoned pool , it had graffiti all over the place but there was no one there just him - or so Tae thought. When he was walking around the place and whistling his favourite song. He heard the gun shoots and the laughing and yelling he got down and held his head. Tae listened in case there was more coming. Then he heard laughing and just gave up , he didn't didn't care if he died here.

"It's not like any one will really care if I'm alive or not."

Tae got up and started to walk around again and then found the main part of the pool , he guessed that where he was the spa part and that is where he found six boys some older and maybe one or two younger than him. One pointed him out they all had their attention on him and stared at him until one of them broke the silence.

"What are you doing here?"

And when Tae came to his senses he noticed that they were the ones with guns , he felt the colour drain from his face and he turned and ran. He heard them run after him but he knew this forest like the back of his hand , but he was not so fast and they were fast. He made a quick turn and the all ran past him in the wrong direction , he thought the could finally breath, but when he closed his eyes he didn't realize the knife to his throat 'till the opened them again and saw the one from the pool that had tried to talk to him .

Tae just stared at the the persons head and put his head down a little to cover his eyes filed with fear, but when he started to giggle the other was confused.

"What's so funny?" The person questioned .

"If you think I am afraid of death then you will be disappointed."

Tae said as he looked up at the male and just smiled like he knew he would die there and then , and he was happy about it. The other looked at his shocked and then slowly looked amused. Tae was so confused by this point and just made a run for it and never looked back. Tae ran and ran and ran pushing people out of the way until he got to a road he knew and started to breath normally , he walked to the shop near his house to buy some drink so that he could forget his sorrows.

After buying the alcoholic beverage he went home and his parents were in , he just decided that he would take there abuse but before he did he took a sip of his drink and then went into he household. He looked around his father on the couch with a some girl that is not his mother. His feet hit something and he looked down at the post of course it was taxes and bills that they couldn't pay , he took them to his room and placed them on the side along with the many others . After putting them in his room he decided to go and get a packet of crisps. Tae found his mother in the kitchen sitting on the table with three empty bottles of wine. As soon as she saw her son she lashed out at him screaming.
" YOU WHY THE HELL ARE YOU HERE NOW ? AND WHERE WHRRE YOUWHEN WE NEEDED YOU ? AND LOOK AT YOUR FATHER HE MUST GET THIS FROM YOU ! YOU DEVIL CHILD ! YOU. YOU . YOU WERE NEVER GOOD ENOUGH FOR THIS FAMILY !AN ANNOYING LITTLE SHIT YOU ."

Tar tried to get close and calm her down and then she hit him over the head with one of the wine bottles. Tae fell to his knees and and held his head in his hands and tried not to cry again.

He was stronger than last time...

But that was what he told him self last time , and the time before and the time before that and all his life really. He stood up and listen to his mother scream at him more.

"YOU UNGRATEFUL BRAT YOU NEVER DESERVE TO BE BORN WHY WHY DID I CHOSE YOU OUT OF ALL THE OTHER ORPHANS BUT NO I GOT STUCK WITH THE LOW LIFE OF A SON THAT SHOULD'VE NEVER HAD BEEN BORN YOU! DIDNT YOU GO HOME AND YOU AND ALL THOSE SLUTS AT THE PARTY NO YOURE GAY YOU DONT EVERN WANT PUSSY YOU WANT THAT GROSS SHIT YOU!!!

GET.OUT.OF.MY. SIGHT. NOWWW!!"

Tae ran with tears streaming down his face and blood along with it . He couldn't breathe he was having flashbacks from his past. After a couple of minutes he looked around. He didn't know where he was and he didn't care, he was just sad, angry, confused, tired,alone and felt like a failure. Tae just sat down and started to search for his drink in his pocket and just drank it all. When he ran out he fell asleep on the cold , concrete floor, but he didn't care by this point he just wanted to forget. The world, his father, his mother, the memories and the boy from earlier.
