Three days had passed since uncle Max beat me, I haven't left my room since.
Even if I wanted to my body wouldn't allow it. The pain had been to intense leaving me bed ridden. Anytime I tried to sit up my body would scream in pain.

No one came to check on me, no one cared if I was alive or not, if I may of been hungry or thirsty which I was..though I was more then use to the treatment so it was no surprise.
I haven't been to school in all that time and wounded if those rumours where still going around, I was hoping not, that hopefully everyone had forgotten about it and let it go.

I glanced up as the basement door swung open hitting the wall making a load bang, the light from upstairs shined down into the darkened room seeming to blind me. Uncle Max stood in the doorway a scroll written across his face, his longish brown hair covered his hate filled eyes as he stared down at my crippled body with disgust making me feel smaller then I already felt.

Shivers ran down my spine when he broke the silence with his snake-like voice.
"You're going to school, get ready!" He was about to leave but paused his back turned towards me. "If my kids are late because of you you're be getting another beating...and this time I won't hold back understand boy!?" I didn't answer and he didn't expect me to as he stomped away.

Narrowing my eyes I bit hard onto my bottom lip as I blinked away the tears that threatened to spill out. Slowly I pushed myself up onto my sore arms, they shook under my weight and without warning I collapsed back onto my stomach with a groan as my back screamed in protest begging me to stay still..and I wanted to obey more then anything and try to let my body heal, but I knew when uncle Max threatens you he's not playing especially when it comes to me, the man has no sympathy and loves to bath in my pain.

Taking in a deep breath and trying to reassure myself that I can do this..I once again lifted myself up and slowly like a slug got to my unsteady feet. As I stood there my body felt heavy like I had weights on me and when I took a step a intense pain shot up my leg and into my back making me hiss.
I bit my bottom lip trying to keep from crying out load.
I can't do this...I can't go there, I can't even walk...

After a few more deep breaths, and trying to ignore the pain as much as possible, I grabbed a random shirt not caring what it looked like just as long as it was baggy enough to not mess with my raw back more then I wanted it to. No matter what I wore I knew it'd rub against my back but hopefully not that much.

After much struggle of putting it on and trying to not scream I finally had a old baggy shirt on that I normally slept in. I moved over to a chair that sat in the corner of the room where my blue jeans sat and slowly pulled them on trying to not irritate the raw flesh that wrapped around my legs, Once They where up to my hips I stuffed my tail in with much discomfort. It had never taken me so long to get dressed before, well maybe once a year ago but it had never been this bad.

When I was done I sighed in relief, my body already felt drained and I haven't even done anything yet besides dressing myself. Slowly I brushed my hair with my fingers before grabbing my hat placing it on my head covering the two cat ears that pocked from underneath my messy hair.

When I finished dressing, I slowly made my way up the wooden stairs, hissing a few times when my clothes rubbed against the raw skin. I didn't want to go back to school, not like this...it was already to much and I haven't even done anything yet besides getting dressed and walking up a few steps. How was I going to go a whole eight hours of school?

I went straight to the bathroom moving like an old person, when I got there I turned the light on immediately seeing my reflection in the mirror making me grimace, although there where no bruises or cuts on my face of neck you could still see the pain there, it was like looking at a face full of scares yet to anyone else they'd only see a face that looked as if it hadn't had rest in weeks.

Dark purple rings laid under my dull tired eyes, my skin was paler then the white sheets on my mattress and my lips looked dry and cracked..and I didn't even want to see what laid under the clothes, although I can feel it I've never looked at the damage and even if I wanted to it was all on my back and legs. At least no one else had to see my ugliness. Looking down I noticed the light bruise around my wrist where uncle Max had ahold of me while trying to pull me out of the car.
With a deep tired sigh I reached across the sink grabbing my toothbrush and brushed my teeth and taking care of my other businesses before leaving the bathroom.

"Let's go guys." Max said as he leaned against his car waiting for me.
Alex was dressed in a gray t shirt and blue jeans, his curly blonde hair looked messy but good, his bangs coamd to the side, his blue eyes staring at the ground.

Maggie stood leaning against her dad talking in his ear, her long bleach blonde hair hung down over her bare shoulders, she wore a white tank tops, a black chocker necklace around her neck and red skinny jeans.
She flipped her hair over her shoulder as her eyes landed on me a smirk growing on her red lips.

A chill ran down my spine as I looked away avoiding her and everyone's eyes.
Before I had left the house I had grabbed my black hoodie wanting to hide any bruises that may be viable and also because it was cold, I couldn't help but think how ridiculous Maggie looked in that tank top and even wearing black heals to school, although I was use to seeing her dress like a slut.

Everyone got into the car, Max started it and drove us to school.
I kept my eyes on my lap the whole ride there, Maggie was going on about something about a guy while Alex stared out the window his figures tapping against his leg.

Finally we reached the school. I didn't dare argue this time, and was even the first to try getting out in a slow way not wanting to anger Max again. My body wouldn't be able to take it. Max gave Maggie a kiss on the cheek then gave Alex a hug telling them he loved them, he turned to me a frown on his face. "Go, and you better be here on time when I pick you up."
I nodded not saying anything then started for the school.

Alex's POV
-------------

I could tell he was in pain from the way he was limping, I felt bad but knew there was nothing I could do for him so instead I ignored him and walked with Maggie to the school.
He had missed three days of school due to the beating my dad had gave him over something stupid, yet I helped when I dragged him out of the car.
The look he had gave me was confusion as if waiting to see if I was helping him, keeping him away from my father, but that look soon turned into horror when I looked to my dad handing him over.

I wanted so bad to walk in there and hit him over and over with that belt when I heard Yuki screaming and crying for him to stop, but as always I didn't.
"He's so hot!" Maggie said dragging me out of my thoughts, I looked over at her, her eyes were locked on a guy In front of us.

I don't know what she meant by hot since you could only see the back of his black hair, you could see he was a tarnish colour and had more muscle then I will ever have. With a sigh I nodded not really caring who my sister thought who was hot and who wasn't. Yuki was the only person running though my mind..and although I didn't like him much he was still my little cousin.

We all use to be the best of friends, I had seen him as a younger brother, I could tell he looked up to me, he always wanted to do the things I did even though I was three years older, but after the accident with his parents death my father had changed and so did we....I turned my back on him because I learned the truth...or so I thought.
Yuki wasn't normal, I've always knew that of cores since he had weird cat like ears and even a tail...which was pretty cool if I say so myself but also weird.
My dad hated it, he hated him for being different even though it wasn't his fault for being different.

So while dad turned his back on him we did the same not wanting to disappoint him, I knew it was wrong what he was doing to Yuki...it was abuse, but how could I stop him?

There was nothing I could do for Yuki...
