Lukes POV:

"You ungrateful, bastard of a son, I hate you." Mom's boyfriend screamed in my face, I winced waiting for the blow. My hands shook, scared of what was about to happen. His words hurt tremendously, but I could not let that control me. My fear needed to be balanced out. Peptalking myself, I sighed. I could feel his hot raging breath on my cheek. Gulping I glanced over to the side staring at a loose thread in the carpet. The grip on my wrist whipping my face back to the reality I was living. 'Words were just words, right I mean how could be so painful?' I told myself, the voice in my head speaking for me. Well I was wrong, his words hurt more then his punches at times. The things he said always just dug under mt skin, making me angry and want to scream at him. But especially when he got down on me about me birth dad. I could not stand when he brought his name into his filthy mouth, daring to speak negatively. It made me rage at even the thought. The tightened grip on my wrist let go, setting me into a further fearful frenzy. What was his next move going to be?

The lights were dim, the apartment cool. The only source of light coming from the outside.

I was too scared to even move, like I was the prey and he was my predator waiting to pounce at any moment. I hated living this way, it just felt so unfair. My breath stuck in my throat, like he was pressing down on my windpipe. Clawing at my own thigh, I tried to collect myself, unable to catch my breath. Any longer in this fear I thought I would stop breathing. The catch of his glaring eyes brought me back, and my breath came back full force, heart hammering against my ribs, like it was a cage match. I started breathing heavier, as sharp tight breaths escaped my lungs. Inhaling and exhaling became painful.

A tear glided down my pale face, I knew not to cry in front of him, but I couldn't control it. A wave of fear passed through me, as he was staring at intensely at me. A mean glare danced its way onto his facial features. Glancing down to his hand I could see as it balled into a fist, rage ready to explode like a spewing volcano.

"Are you fucking crying?" He snapped, stepping forward in a threatening manner. Oh no. I started breathing heavier as my hands shook. "Only babies cry, what is wrong with you?" He freaked at me, causing me to flinch, I stepped back in fear. I glanced down at my trembling hands. Why did he have to do this? I needed to get away right now. My brain short circuited at the very thought.

"Please." I begged, hoping he would leave me alone, for one night, just one night. Closing my eyes briefly praying, I would get my way. I knew I was never that lucky, and had to give into his rage.

"Get the fuck over here, no fucking begging." Mom's boyfriend shouted. I stepped back again, I didn't have anywhere else to go, as I felt the wall's presence not too far behind me, as I reached my hand backward touching the wall. Gulping, I was screwed now.

I saw his hand clench up, and quickly squeezed my eyes shut, waiting for the blow. Fearful anticipation overtook my body as my eyes stayed shut. His cold hand smacked hard across my face, snapping my head to the side, my eyes flew open. Grimacing at the pain, as my cheek immediately erupted in a burning sting.
He held my wrist in place in his grip with his free hand that wasn't constantly punching me in the stomach. The force of the punches pushing me backwards, slamming into the wall each time. I winced at each blow, knowing the bruises that were already forming. Bruises always made it difficult to face friends, hiding the wincing and changing during gym class. So much came in the way when Mom's boyfriend hit me.

He finally stopped. Relief filled me as I hunched forward, gripping my pain filled stomach. Gratefulness washed over me, as he finished hitting me. This weight had been lifted for just a second when he finally stopped, like maybe I was dead? My eyes shot open at his words, and I came back to reality, I was never getting out of this. He was still above me threatening as ever.
