Did You Really Save Me

Chapter Thirty-Four

Max POV

"After my father found out that I was sneaking out he started to beat and torture me when he found me after I got back, he thought it would stop me searching but he was completely wrong, it only made me look harder." I sigh, this is going to be harder than I thought. "Sean?" He was completely shocked at the story, his eyes were burning with hatred and anger. He looked seconds away from breaking something.

I tried again, "Sean?" He looked up, out of the small trance he was in, "huh? Oh sorry M.X were you calling me? Are you ok?" He shot question after question. "I'm fine, I was just wondering if I could have some water? This is going to take a while." I smiled, kind of awkwardly. He got up, nodded his head and left the room.

I looked around the room while I had the chance. Someone cleared their throat and I jumped, I looked over to the door and Sean was standing there holding two glasses and a jug of water. "Sorry," he just shakes his head, smile back on his face. "Are you ready to continue?" He asks as he pours the water in the glasses. I nod.

"About a week after my mother went missing it was the first time I was put into the hospital. My father had had enough of me sneaking out and beat and tortured me for hours, all the rage of me looking for my mother had finally kicked in. I remember screaming out that I wouldn't look for her anymore, but he didn't stop. By the time he stopped, I was almost dead. For some reason he called the ambulance, I don't know why. But before the ambulance got there he trashed the place and put me in my room on the floor, he made it look like someone or a group of people broke in and did it." Sean shook his head in anger, trying to calm down.

"When the ambulance arrived they requested police assistance, my father was acting of course, he was crying and sobbing. He wouldn't let go of my hand, but of course, that was all for show. The police arrived and he was dragged off me so the paramedics could do their job. One of them went to go get the stretcher and the other one was trying to tend to minor injuries as well as help the more severe ones."

I grabbed my glass of water and had a sip, Sean had his eyes closed and he was breathing heavily. "Sean..? Are you okay?" I was worried, he opened his eyes when he heard my voice. He just shook his head. "I just- I just can't believe you went through all of this at such a young age." He stutters, "your father is the worst human being to ever live M.X, actually he doesn't even deserve to be called a human nor your father." I smiled at this, "Sean, I think it's time for me to tell you my real name." He looks up shocked, "I was contemplating this but since I'm telling you my life story I might as well tell you my real name as well."

I took a deep breath in and look down into my lap, then I take a deep breath out, "my real name is Max," I pause looking up at him. "Max Yom."
