CHAPTER 4

Edited: 18/01/2020

"Declan! Honey get up you'll be late for school!!" I groaned rolling over and snuggling deeper in my covers. It was Thursday, that meant I only had two lessons with Stevie and the rest were filled with supervised study and history... I wasn't in the mood.

"Don't make me come in there mister." My mother nagged from the door making me shuck my covers from my small body and wipe the sleep from my eyes. "Okay Ma I'm up! I'm up." I yelled back swinging my legs out of the covers and over the edge of my bed. After getting changed and ready, I walk down to grab some toast from the side as my Mam strolled into the kitchen, graceful as ever.

"Well done sweetie. Your father and I need to get going or we'll miss our train. We won't be gone for long. I don't want you living off takeaway so I've made some frozen meals for you and your lunch is on the kitchen counter so don't forget it."

"Okay mam, Thankyou."

"Oh and I've written out mine, your fathers and Ms Marian, the little old lady from down the street's number so if you need anything don't hesitate to call."

"I'll be fine mam is only for 4 days."

"I know, I know but we worry! Give us a hug then and be a good boy until we get back."

"Yes and get your butt to school young man before you're late." My Dad added as he strolled into the kitchen.

"Love you too dad" I reply teasingly and give him a hug round the middle which he returned with a lot more strength. "Love you son. Now for god's sake get going!"

I giggled, grabbing my lunch off the side and stepping out of the door. My spirits surprisingly lifted compared to what they were this morning. All good things must come to an end though...

"Well well well look who it is." I cringed as a the voice taunted me from behind, knowing that it was no good thinking I'd make it all the way to school without being caught by my latest tormentors. My body visibly tensed as I tried to speed walk away as quickly as possible. I thought I might have made my escape when I could see the outline of the school gates round the corner. That was until I was grabbed roughly by the collar and shoved into a wall down an alley which was perpendicular to the one I'd been walking on.

"Where you going in such a hurry fag?" I winced as I was pressed painfully against the rough and unforgiving surface of the brick wall.

"Answer him you little wimp!" Snarled a tall beefy kid styling a buzz cut. I stuttered, wishing I could come up with some smart snarky reply but all that came out were terrified stutters and whimpers as I was pulled off my feet by my collar. "So what you got for us today fag? Mommy's homemade lunch?" Spat the boy choking me with his grip.

"I've never seen such a big mommies boy... bet he cry's when she doesn't tuck him in." I just watch with wide, teary eyes as the older boy's laughed in my face. Taking pleasure in degrading me.

Out of no where a low growl sounded out in the form of words. "Put the kid down." I couldn't work out who it could be from the voice alone, it wasn't Stevie... so who would even look twice at someone picking on me. And how did they expect to fight off 4 seniors literally made of muscle. I didn't get a chance to dwell for too long as the guy holding me against the rock, which continued to dig painfully into my already slightly bruised back, let go of my collar and let me fall heavily to the floor. My blonde haired attacker exhaled angrily through his big nose and turned to face the newcomer.
