Heal my Heart

Chapter 8 - Healing

"Dare to explain to me who this Sam kid is and what are those dance lessons he was talking about, Gareth?"

"Sam? Why did he come to my house ? Did my father lash out at him too?" he thought.

"Dad, I swear, if you hurt Sam, I'm gonna..." warned Grizz.

"You're gonna what, kid ? Tell me what you're gonna do against me, huh?"

"I don't care about you hitting me, but if you ever lay a hand on my friends, I swear to god dad, I won't hesitate for a second before calling the cops and tell them everything."

"Oh, tell them everything ? Well, I don't see why they would believe a word you say ! As far as I'm concerned, you're just a kid who wants attention and who would do anything to have what he wants. Including lying to the cops. Seriously, between you and me, who do you think they'll trust ?" said Logan, viciously smiling.

"Ah yeah, sorry, I forgot to tell you between your punches, but Luke has pictures of what you did to me. Every single bruise. I didn't understand why he wanted to take them so badly every time, but now I do. We agreed that if anything were to happen to me, he would gladly hand it over to the cops. So, still thinking about threatening my friends, dad?"

"You, shitty bastard..."

"You know what ? I'm sick of that ! Right now, I really don't need you to beat the crap out of me, so just back off and let me the fuck alone." a very pissed Grizz said. He had already enough to deal with after his argument with Luke.

"Owh, so now you're having this kind of attitude, huh?! And what about the fucking dance classes, Gareth ?! I certainly remember telling you to cut the whole dancing crap." Logan said, blame in his eyes.

"Yeah, well, sorry but I really wanted to do it and there was no real fucking reason for you to punish me like that !" Grizz had lost the sudden confidence he just showed the minute before.

"I don't care what you think about me punishing you or whatever ! You just went behind my back and took fucking dance lessons for two whole years, lying to me ! You freaking faggot !"

"Look, I'm sorry I lied to you... I know I shouldn't have lied, but I really wanted to take those lessons and mum would have been so happy seeing me dancing..."

"Don't bring your slutty mother into this, Gareth!"

"My what ?! You fucking asshole, you can hit me, punch me all you want, but never again speak about mum that way !"

"Or what ? You're gonna hand me over the police with your eleven years old friend, right ?! Well, I know for sure that you would never do that only for your own safety You see, I know how you care about your little friends and that you don't wanna have to go away, am I wrong?"

Grizz felt tears showing up in his wide eyes. How could he know ?! How did he know that the only thing keeping him from calling the cops were his friends?! "Well, I'm so fucked up, now..." he thought.

"So. No more dance classes for you and I'll make sure that this time you really go on the field like real men do, alright?"

"Or what ? If I still sneak out to dance lessons, what are you gonna do about it ? Beat the shit out of me ? Done. Insult me and make my life a living hell ? Done !" yelled Grizz.

And with this, Logan lost his shit. He began screaming that he would never let his son become a faggot and that dance classes were for girls. He started hitting his son, as he always did.

"You wanna dance behind my back, huh ? Then I'll just have to make you unable to do so !" he screamed.

He then grabbed Grizz at the ankle and began punching his knee really hard.
