I got ready for the day earlier than usual since it was the weekend and me and Aphmau planned to spend the entire day together, since my dad said we didn't need to train today. I told him about it, and said it was okay. When I tried to walk out, I noticed that the door was bolted from the outside, since I couldn't get out at all. "H-huh?!" I say, since he only did this when I was in major trouble. I guessed it was jammed and kept trying to open. No, definitely locked.
   "Mr Lycan, your father gave us orders to not let you out anymore." One of the guards from outside spoke, sighing. "Sorry kid."
   "What..?"
   "Also we need you to slip your phone under the door."
   My eyes immediately filled with tears as I stared at the door. "W-why??"
   "We don't know, that's just what he told us to do."
   I bit my lip, and hid phone in one of my plant pots. "I-I don't have it. I left it Aphmau's..."
   "Are you lying to us?"
   "...No."
   They didn't respond for a while, and sighed. "Look kid, we know you have it. But as long as you don't tell your father about us letting you, you can keep your phone."
   "Seriously?"
   "Yeah. But you have to promise!" The other said, extremely strict.
   "I promise!" I smile and get my phone again, texting Aphmau while I laid in bed.
   "Give it to me, now." My dad said, walking in hours later.
   "No..." I mutter, hiding it behind me.
   "What did you just say to me?" He very slowly walks over to me, holding his hand out for it.
   "No..!"
   "You little asshole!" He ran over and started to violently beat the crap out of me. When he finished I stayed were I was, in pain and shock. He took it out of my hand, growling. "WHAT WILL YOU DO NEXT TIME I ASK FOR YOUR PHONE?!"
   "G-give it to you..." I say, beginning to cry again.
   "GOOD!" He hit me once more, but harder before leaving and slamming the door behind him. I immediately burst into tears, not being able to move. 
   When a guard walked in with my lunch he tried to aid me, but he stopped when he noticed how I was reacting to it. "Oh god..." He quickly got his own phone out, calling somebody. I stared at the ceiling, breathing heavily. I stopped crying and tried to suck it up.
   I whimpered when I saw paramedics walking in and over to me, knowing I'd be in trouble for this as well even though it wasn't my fault. My mother was called, and she arrived in only a few minutes. I tried not to react to any of the things the paramedics were doing, mainly because I couldn't feel it, and kept trying to convince them I was fine. "WHAT DID HE DO TO YOU?!" My mom yelled, running over and kissing my cheek.
   "Nothing!" 
   "WELL YOUR LEGS AND LEFT ARM IS TWISTED THE WRONG WAY AND YOU'RE COVERED IN BLOOD! TELL ME NOW!"
   "I-I... Tried to keep my phone so he got mad and started hitting me..." I whisper so that only she could hear me.
   "Why was he taking it from you in the first place?!"
   "I don't know... But he didn't let me out either..." 
   "For Irene's sake!" She sighs, kissing my cheek again.
   I gasped when I suddenly felt a needle being stick into my leg, making tears form in my eyes again. "O-ow!"
   She took something from one of the paramedics, and got a glass of water. "Aaron you need to take this. Now." She held out a pill just above my mouth.
   "I-I need to sit up to take it!"
   "Uh..." One of the paramedics helped me do it, although I screamed in pain. Politely, I took the pill then I was let to lay back down. Slowly, my eyes closed.
   When I woke up it wasn't in my own bed, I could tell the difference. "Huh..?" I rubbed at my eyes to try and wake up, whimpering as I couldn't move my left one.
   "You're awake!" A little potato said, wrapping her arms around me tight.
   "Aph..?"
   "I thought you would want to see her." My mom said, also here.
   I slowly opened my eyes and saw them, but my mom was holding FC. Surely enough, Aphmau was hugging me. "Yeah!" I smile, wrapping my only working arm around her.
   "We had to take you to the hospital sweetie. One of your legs was dislocated so it's fine now, but the other was broken, as well as your left arm.
   "Great..." I mutter.
   "Yeah... Your dad was arrested."
   "HUH?!" I sit up quickly, but immediately regretted it. "FUCK, OW!"
   "Aaron!" Aphmau and my mom said at the same time, as well as glaring at me.
   "S-sorry!" I lay down again, sighing. "Why was he arrested?"
   "Extreme bodily harm." 
   "O-oh..." I nod a little.
   Aphmau whined, and laid beside me in the very small space. She clung onto me like a monkey, staring up at me. "I didn't know animals were allowed in the hospital." I muttered, looking at her with a smirk.
   "Aaron, shut up." She nuzzled herself into my side.
   I smile, and kiss her forehead. "You know I love you."
   "Whatever..." She closed her eyes, resting her head on my chest as I wasn't wearing a shirt and breathing in deeply.
   My mom smiled brightly, rocking FC to sleep. "You make a cute couple."
   "Mom!" I blush madly, being embarrassed like moms were supposed to do.
   She laughed. "At least I'm not lying!"
   "Yes you are! She's the only cute one." 
   "No I'm not!" She growls at me, but didn't move her head.
   "Yes you are. And short~."
   "I'm not short!" 
   "You should really just embrace it." She groaned, but wrapped an arm around me and fell asleep.
