TRIGGER WARNING: ABUSE

{~THIRD PERSON POV:~}

"Don't h..hurt me!" Screamed a small boy.
"Francis- not Phillip!" Said a tall man sitting in a chair, struggling.
"Daddy! Help!" Said the boy, struggling under Francis' grip.
"I can't, baby! I'm stuck!" Said John, tears pickling his eyes. He didn't want to see his child get beat, but-
Bang
Phillips head was sacked off of a wall.
The child started crying as blood poured down his face.
"Daddy please!" Screamed the child.
"I'm trying to pip!" Said John, tearsrolling down his cheeks.
"Shut up Jacky-" said Francis, dropping the boy and punching John in the face.
"Daddy! No!" Shouted pip, huddling in a ball in the corner.
"Pip.. D..dont look-" said John as another punch was thrown at him.
Phillip hugged his small turtle plush, shutting his eyes and muttering a small song his dad used to sing to him.
"Raise a glass to freedom.. something they can never take away, no matter what they tell you-"
He continued until he found Francis had stormed out of the room, drunk.
"Daddy!" Said pip, running to John.
"Phillip! Baby, are you ok?" John said as Phillip tried to unloosed the restrains tied around John's hands.
"Yes.. I'm ok" he sighed, though there was blood running down the side of his face.
"Phillip! Oh my god- he hurt you!" Said John, putting the small boy on his kneeling and singing him to sleep.
"Raise a glass to the two of us.. tomorrow there'll be more of us, telling the story of tonight"
When Phillip was asleep, John had decided this was the last straw. He heard Francis in the shower, and so he managed to wrap Phillip up in his winter coat, put him on his hip and run while he could still escape this place. When he was out of breath, he stopped at a gas station, catching his breath. He walked in looking for warmth.
Oh no.
He had forgotten his wallet.
He wasn't going back-
What was he gonna do-
"Sir-"
A small tap landed on John's shoulders.
"Yes?"
"I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.. we're shutting now" he said. He had no where else to go.
"Please- my son.. you have to help us!" John pleaded, but it was useless. Right as they were going out, he heard a small yawn coming from the coat he had on his hip.
"Daddy- where are we?" Phillip asked, looking around him.
"We're..  we're not going back home, pip. We can't, not if Fra- if pa is hurting you like that" said John.
Phillip nodded. He couldn't Change the situation anyways.
As they say outside the gas station, they both tried to snuggle under John's coat for warmth.
"Sir.. Sir!" Said a man, shaking John and Phillip awake.
"Yes.. I'm sorry-" said John.
"Your kid-" he said, seeming sympathetic.
"Please.. He needs food" said John, getting up off the floor with Phillip.
"I'm sorry.. but why don't you get a job and feed your kid yourself" said the man, laughing. John sighed and started walking.
"I'm sorry! That sounded awfully rude-" said the man. John turned around.
"Well.. I have a job" said John.
"But my partner-" John stopped himself, imitating to his bruises and Phillips head.
"Can we go home daddy?" Said Phillip, shivering. I mean, it was about 3 o clock in the morning.
"No.. Pa isn't nice to you Phillip. We can't go back." Said John, rocking pip.
"But.. I'm hungry and cold" Phillip said. John looked into the man's eyes. They were a dark brown along with his hair. He was quite petite, with his hair tied back in a low pony tail.
"Please-" John said.
" I'll see what I can do" said the man as he nodded.
"Thank you- thank you so much!" John said, getting in the strangers car.

TIME SKIP BROUGHT TO YOU BY MY CRUSH OF ANTHONY RAMOS

"Dad! Please don't go!" Phillip yelled at John.
"Phillip.. i-i can't hold o..on" said John. His bullet wound was infected, and there was no way of retrieving him.
"DAD NO!" Phillip yelled.
"Pops, do something, please!" Pip asked, tears rolling down his cheeks.
"Phillip.. there's nothing I can do" said Alex, crying too.
"I.. I'm trying Phillip" stated John.
"My loves, take y..your time" said John.
"NO!" Screamed Phillip, squeezing John's hand.
"I'll see you on the other side" said John, shutting his eyes and letting the darkness take him.
Phillip screamed, and cried in Alex's arms along with him.
