~~Next day
~~Rues POV
6 years.
6 years since I've last seen my mother, father, sister, and my brother.
I know what your thinking, a mother is suppose to be the most important person in your life. A father is suppose to be your shoulder to cry on. A bug brother is suppose to be your protection. A little sister is suppose to be your best friend, someone who looks up to you.
My family was torn apart so long ago most the time I can't even cry. It's like my cry is muffled because it is so old. I have always wanted to return home and visit again, but I have always been to scared. Too scared that they won't accept me back after all this time. They kicked me out of the house as soon as soon as I first got with Mateo. My father hated how Mateo protected me. Protected me from him, in a way.
Mateo never knew that my father was constantly abusive. He just knows of one time. The one time Mateo just so happened to be walking past as my father was on the verge on choking me to death. I still remember that night clearly.
~~Flashback to 7 years ago
"You are useless!" My father yelled at me as he struck my face with his hand again. I let out a small scream and backed away.
"Please stop!" I cried out to him.
"Talking back now? How disrespectful can you be!" He yelled in my face as he grabbed my hair and pulled me off the ground.
"Stop! Your hurting me!" I scratched at his hands but he tightened his grip.
"Ill teach you for being disrespectful to me!" He slapped by hand away and released my hair. I fell to the floor and tried to crawl away. He walked towards me with a devilish smirk. "Time to pay my sweet." He reached down and grabbed my throat with both his hands. I clawed at his arm but he tightened his grip. "Don't worry dear. It will all be over soon." I felt it becoming impossible to breath. My throat felt like it was collapsing and all my bones crushing. "It's almost all ove-"
"Hey! Put her down!" I heard a oddly familiar voice. My father snapped his head in the direction of the voice and laughed.
"And who are you?" He laughed as he tightened his grip and I began gasping for my breath.
"That doesn't matter. What matters is that you are hurting a innocent women." The voice calmly said. By now my whole body was going numb and I could feel the end near.
"P-please h-h-help m-e" I gasped out as I continued to claw at my fathers arms.
The man walked up to my father and punched his square in his nose. The punch was powerful enough to knock him out with one go. I fall to the ground gasping as I regained my breath.
"Are you okay?" The stranger asked as he kneeled down by my side.
I nod my head and begin to stand up. "T-thank" I take a deep breath "you." I manage to get out in one breath.
"Your welcome." He said as he helped me stand up all the way.
"If there is anyway I can repay you please let me know." I told him after my breath was finally fully regained.
"Matter of fact there is." He smiled.
And that's were it all began.
~~End of flashback
I sigh to myself and continue to brush out my hair.
Somethings are better forgotten. This for some reason I can't forget that day.
