Until I Was Saved..

Chapter 12

-that night-

-warren pov-

Arlo started walking me home after I got a text from my foster dad that read 'You really thought I wouldn't find out about you walking out of school? HOME! NOW!'

Yeah.... Sure... Home... Really feels like home...

"You alright? You seem... Out of it."

I looked at Arlo. "Huh?"

"Are you okay?"

I looked at the ground. "Oh..Y-yeah.. I'm fine... I just... Don't really wanna go home..."

I've known Arlo for years... He's my best friend... Which for some people is a little weird considering he's thousands of years old and a demon but.... He's always been good to me... Better than how most other people have treated me... Besides, regardless of how old he is he's still technically considered a teenager when you really think about the actual lifespan of his species.

"Why don't you wanna go home? Is something wrong?"

He looked genuinely confused when he asked that question... He doesn't know my dad beats me... I'm probably gonna keep it that way..

"Oh it's.. It's nothing. I just know my know my dad's gonna make me get ready to go to bed when I get home and I'm just not tired yet..."

"Oh... Uh.. Ok.." He still seemed a bit concerned but apparently, he decided not to push it any further.. Thankfully.

I don't know how he'd react if he found out I was being beaten on an almost daily basis..

We got to my house, I went inside and closed the door, immediately greeted by a punch to the face that was so hard I got knocked to the ground.

-3rd person pov-

"WHY WEREN'T YOU AT SCHOOL?! WHERE DID YOU GO?!" Warren's foster father yelled at him as he was hitting the ground

"I was-" He coughed. "at a friend's house. He left early and took me with him.. "

His dad kicked him in the stomach. "SHUT UP. YOU KNOW YOU DON'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS!"

As he said that, tears started rolling down Warren's face "... "

Warren was then grabbed by the arm and started screaming while grabbing the hand firmly holding his arm, trying to get his foster dad to release him "ahh! Please! Let me go! PLEASE! It hurts! It hurts!!"

"Oh shut up you wimp!"

His father then dragged him to his feet and threw him toward stairs. "Get upstairs and clean yourself up. You're a train wreck."

"Why do you hate me so much?... "

"CAUSE YOU'RE A USELESS PIECE OF ABSOLUTE TRASH NOW GET UPSTAIRS BEFORE I FINISH YOU OFF!!"

Warren then ran to the upstairs bathroom like his life depended on it and locked the door behind him.

He looked at the new forming bruise on his forearm and whispered to himself "I want to die..."

TO BE CONTINUED! Let me know about any mistakes that I made and I'll try to improve in the future, I hope you like the story so far ✌-
