Niall’s POV
June 11, 1998
“Greg, I’m scared”. I clung to him as we followed Mrs Randy inside. She has found Greg and I hiding from the others, hoping to get more help time but we had gotten caught.
“I know Nialler. It’ll be okay”. We followed her to our small room with the two old beds and old, dirty sheets.
“What’s she going to do to us?”
“Beds”. I looked up to Greg in fear. “NOW!” We climbed on our beds and I lay on my back. “Top off”. I pulled mine off. “On our stomach!” I looked to Greg in fear and he turned to lie on his stomach. I did the same and heard a loud whack and Greg scream. I clenched my eyes closed, holding the sheets between my fingers as I felt a blinding sting come from my back. I screamed and it appeared again. “You deserve this!” Again. “You boys have been very naughty. No wonder your parents abandoned you!” Greg screamed seconds later and I felt the sting again. “Stupid boys!” I sobbed as she continued to hit us with the belt for another five minutes. “You deserved it”. She walked out the room and I cried loudly in pain.
“Nialler calm down. It’s okay. You’re okay”. Greg lifted me carefully and hugged me. “It’s going to be okay”.
“I-it hurts Greg”.
“Shh, I know. I know but the pain goes away okay?” I looked up to him.
“How do you know!?” He sighed and turned around, showing the bloody rips in his skin but underneath them, there were scars.
“I’ve gotten this before”. He turned back to face me. “It’ll go away, okay? The pain will go away”.
“When did they start?”
“When I was your age”.
“You were five too?” He nodded. “Why do they hate us so much Greg?”
