⚠️mention of abuse and cutting⚠️

This chapter is fkn depressing bcs I'm having a hard time rn so why not give y'all one too :'P

(Alex POV)

It's been a couple of months now and I've noticed that John has gotten more and more quiet.

And I mean he was pretty loud before and now he's just saying nothing. And the fact that no one in our squad has really talked about it is kind of sad..

He's only been wearing long sleeved shirts, which worries me.
What if he hurts himself again. I don't what that to happen.

I want to make him happy but I don't know how.

<Lunch>

John and I where the first of our group to have lunch so I took this time to talk to him.

"Hey John is everything okay? I..um..you're not yourself" I asked as we sat down beside each other.

He just nodded.

"John talk to me..what is happening?" I looked him dead in the eyes.

He looked over at me all I could feel was pain and sadness from him.
"Can we talk about it where it's a bit private..?" He said looking down again

"Of course.." I said as the gang came in or more like burst in.

"Um..me and John have to go...it's important.." I said as both me and John stood up.

(Peggy's POV)

After John and Alex left that's when we started spilling some tea or probable tea.

"They're obviously going to make out.." Laf said with his very thick French accent.

"Wanna bet?" Herc said smirking at me and Laf.

"Of course, mon amie!" They looked at each other and then looked down.

Hehehe...

"How do you know John's gay...or bi or like pan or I don't know..?" Eliza jumped in with.

"Yeah like he looks pretty straight but when he opens his mouth you can hear how not straight he is!" I said and everyone just nodded.

(Johns POV)

Me and Alex sat outside of school where no one was sitting and the second we sat down I started crying.

Why..why in front of him..he already know how I'm such a cry baby..

"Hey, you're gonna be fine okay? Just tell me what's happening.." he put his hands on my shoulders.

He slowly rolled up his sleeves and all I could see was cuts and bruises.

"..who made those bruises...and cuts.." He mumbled.

"Uh..Henry..made the bruises a-and I made the cuts..." I tried choked out "e-ever since ..m-mom passed..he's been more and more aggressive..a-and I'm scared for my brothers sake.."

"John you need to say something to someone!.. and please promise me to not cut..please" He looked at me with a small sad smile.

"I'm trying!..but it's hard to not when nobody want to hear you and when nobody cares!" I said and after that I was full out sobbing

He hugged me.

"You know we love you Johnny and we really care about you!" He said as he hugged me "everything will be fine!"

After that day me and Alex have been keeping up with what's happening and I'm talking to a therapist about my problems.

But

It doesn't help

It doesn't help the things Henry says or does.

(Alex POV)

It was a couple of weeks later now since what john told me.

"George we need to do something! We can't let John and his brothers get abused like this!!" I half screamed.

"Son, we can't do anything. As long as we don't have any evidence." He said calmly.

"Don't call me son" I answered."we have John as evidence! have you seen his arms!?"

He just sighed.

"There's nothing I can do. We'll just have to support John. Don't do anything stupid, son" he said still as calm.

"I mean we can call social services!"

"Son it's not that easy!"

I had enough. This argument has went on for one hour now and he keeps calling me son.

"Call me son one more time!" I said with tears in my eyes.
I quickly ran up to my room and slammed the door.

'Oh pa..I miss you'

I leaned on my door and slid down and now I'm the one sobbing.

Suddenly my phone started to blow up with notifications.

I opened my phone and went to twitter.

All I saw was hundreds of retweets of a picture of my mother.

'Thomas...'

I got a texts from both peggy and John asking if I was okay. I just answered 'yeah.'

Oh Thomas is getting a revenge...
