The Abusive Relationship (a Chandler/Grayson Riggs fanfic)

Thinking About Grayson/Mentioning How Grayson was better than my new boyfriend

Daniel's POV (CONT'D)
Daniel's imagination
"Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey Daniel."
"Huh? What? Where am I?"
"You're at home Daniel, and it's time for breakfast."
"Wait, is any of this real?"
"It's only real if you believe that it's real."
"So what do you want to do after breakfast Daniel?"
"I don't know, go for a walk."
"Sounds good to me."
"I...I...I can't do this."
"Can't do what?"
"What's on your mind Daniel? You're not thinking about killing yourself again, are you?"
"No. It's just that all of this is going to get me in trouble."
"Trouble? Why would eating breakfast and going for a walk get you in trouble?"
"No, what I'm doing now, thinking about you and your family is going to get me in trouble."
"I see what's going on here, you just had a bad dream, that's all."
"No I didn't. None of this is real, this is just my imagination telling me what I want to see and hear."
"Daniel what's going on?"
"Just know that I still love you."

Back to reality...
"Get up! It's time for work."
"What am I doing today?"
"You're going to build me a 20x20 shed and it better be done by nightfall or else."
"Are you nuts! That'll take a few days at the most."
"Do it by night or you won't eat for an entire week."
As I got up and walked past Logan I started to speak.
"At least Grayson never made me do hard labor. He was a better boyfriend than you."
"You just fucked up!"
Before I had a chance to do anything Logan pounced on me and assaulted me for almost an hour, and then he sent me out to do the job he asked me to.
"Now if you ever mention your past boyfriend's name again I won't hesitate to break an arm."
"If Grayson were here right now he and I would kick your ass, because at least he loves me."
"No he doesn't. I've told you this a million times now, it was all a bloody ruse."
"So what if it was, at least he cared enough about me to make me happy. And you know what?"
"What!?"
"He wasn't self absorbed like you."
Logan once again pounced on me and started assaulting me again, and wasn't letting up.

3 hours later...
I was literally crying and begging Logan to stop, and luckily he did.
"I will kill you, and I won't hesitate like Grayson. I saw him holding a knife an inch from your throat after you fell asleep about 27 months ago."
"He what!?"
"He was going to kill you in your sleep, but he was too weak to do it."
"Prove it! And I'll know if the picture has been doctored in anyway."
Logan walked up to me and showed me the proof. I looked it over a few times and it was authentic. Grayson really did try to kill me.
"Grayson was going to kill me? What the fuck!? Why didn't he ever mention how he was feeling towards me? We could've worked something out."
"I told you Grayson hates you and he always will. He wants to kill you and also torture you. But I don't want to kill you. But if you keep pissing me off, then I will kill you."
"But Grayson saved my life multiple times. And all you've done is assault me like ten times now. I'm lucky that I haven't received a concussion, slipped into a coma, or have any broken bones."
"Plus you and Grayson ended your friendship a long time ago."
"That only lasted for a week or so, we made up and became friends again. That's what real friends do. And that's what the love of my life would do."
"Do you want me to kick your ass again?"
"No."
"THEN STOP TALKING ABOUT THAT ASSHOLE GRAYSON AND GET TO WORK YOU PIECE OF SHIT!"
I was about to say something, but I kept quiet and got to work.

Nighttime...
"Phew! That was some hard work, but I managed to pull it off."
Logan came outside and approached me.
"Good work Danny."
"Don't call me that."
"Why?"
"Only my mom and my closest friends can call me that. And your not in that category, but Grayson is."
"STOP MENTIONING GRAYSON OR I SWEAR TO GOD I'LL SEND PEOPLE TO HIS HOUSE AND HAVE HIM KILLED!"
"They would have to get through me before they could even lay a finger on Grayson."
"So you're still holding on to the fact that Grayson loves you?"
"Yes."
"Well, until you stop believing that I'm not going to feed you full meals. You'll only get scraps."
"I'll never stop thinking about how Grayson was a better boyfriend than you."
"We'll see about that. Now get back to your room and go to bed. You're not eating tonight."
"Fine with me."

Daniel's bedroom...
Good thing I still have my soda and chocolate to drink and eat. So it's a good thing that Logan didn't take that away. But at least there's a washroom in this bedroom because I know that Logan quadruple locked my bedroom door and made sure that the door can only be unlocked from the outside. I hate this new relationship, and I want out of it. But who knows how long that'll take. It could take years before I get to see my family and the love of my life again. I hope that isn't the case, because I really miss them. I'd do anything to see them again. But I'm not going to risk it. I lost my kids once, but I'm not going to lose them again, and I especially don't want to lose Grayson. So until it's safe I'm going to just stay confined in this house. It's for the best, and if I have to get assaulted each and everyday to keep them safe then so be it. Their lives are much more meaningful than mine. So I just have to withstand everything align throws at me and as long as it keeps everyone I live safe then it's worth it. So until the day comes where I can leave this rat hole I just have to put up with Logan's shit. And then I can finally find out the truth.
