Inside (StrayKidsXReaders)

Hannie Day

My legs felt numb after the third kick. My dad beat me so bad that I crawled upstairs. He punched me three times in the face and kicked me multiple times on my body, he stopped when he saw I wasn't able to get up no more and to much blood was coming out of my mouth.

I think this time he fractured something because I heard my ankle make a funny sound when he kicked my feet.
After a few try's I managed to get on my bed. I took deep breaths and realize my ankle was purple. This is definitely going to have to be a trip to the hospital.

But What am I going to tell them; that some gangsters beat me up or that I fell down stairs.
No way will they believe that it's a incident.

With all my strength I hopped to my bathroom and tried to wash up and clean my wounds as best as I could. I completely lost motion of my ankle.
Before I could move again my body gave up and slammed down to the ground. I groaned in pain, but it all stopped when grandma came rushing to the room.

I almost forgot she hasn't left yet and Joe's business trip ended early.

"Oh my gosh dear WHAT HAPPENED! WHERES YOUR DAD?!"
Where is he? he was just beating me up a few minutes ago is he gone that fast? He's fucken insane who comes home to beat up his daughter than takes off.

"I was about to call dad because some gangsta tried to rob me on my way home and beat me up badly. I put up a good fight, but they stole my phone. Grandma I must go to the hospital my ankle hurts.

That day was the most scariest nights of my life. I thought this was finally going to be the day Joe beats me to death. He ended up breaking my ankle and bruises a few ribs on my right.
The entire emergency room visit; I was stressing more about the questions they were asking me than my actual injuries.

Joe played along with my story he acted like such a concern father. However when grandma would walk out for a bit he threaten me.

Jisung was waiting for me outside my house. After two weeks from the abuse I was able to go outside because Joe left again for a business trip.
The guys were aware of the fake attack story and kept spamming me with text to see how I was doing. They added me to a group chat called 'straykids+princess' very cheesy.

"Oh look at you poor thing.. let me help you up! I promise I'll make you feel better!"  Jisung said as I held onto him going up the suv.

The drive to Jyp cafe wasn't far from my house we got there in 10 minutes. Although it was lonely there wasn't people like it was last time I was here.

"I asked the company to close it and have it open for us only. Why because I want you to feel as comfortable as possible. Plus Saturdays can get full of fans and I don't want them to see you just yet."

No one has ever closed down a whole cafe for me and went out there way to take me out hes the cutest. Actually since I told him my dad was strict he would sneakily leave me snacks in the mail box during the week.
Jisung bought me a mocha frappe and got himself a latte; we sat at the same corner as we did last time we met.

"So how's it going for you? I know you have to be in bed rest most of the day, but other than that how's the song writing going?"

Tapped on my cup and tried to figure out a way not to lie to him to much. When Joe is home I have to still cook for him but in a wheel chair. He doesn't care if I can barley reach the stove he still demands his food and a clean house.
He slapped me the other day just because I spilled the rice. Joe may not hit me as much, but he still manage to slap me here and there while I recover.

"Well I'm not able to walk as much I move around my house with a wheel chair. My writing still doesn't stop though I write any chance I get."

We both stayed silent for a while I continued to sip my drink and looking around although no one was there. I noticed he stared at me than back to his cup. Messing with the ice cube with his straw.
"I've been wanting to ask you, but I felt odd. You always talk about your mom in the past tense. What happened to her?"

My heart felt weaken I haven't talked about moms accident since a long time now. In fact Joe doesn't even like me mentioning my moms name at all. Took a big gulp and looked at his cute curious face.

"Ever since I was a little girl my mother would take me to dance classes. Mainly because my dad was to busy to pick us up. When I was 13 years old I was waiting for my mother to pick me up early, since I had called her that I wasn't feeling well. That day was rainy and lots of thunder."
I felt my hands shaking as I remember that day clearly and felt like I was living it again.

"My mother never came for me early. I was force to sit out and wait for her in the hallway. My class was over and my teacher looked at me in this worry look. She said to me 'sweetie how about you call your dad maybe your mom is busy' right when I was about to dile dads number. Eddie came in the building with red eyes. I walked with him out and we walked all the way home. I begged for him to ask me why he was crying. He looked at me in the eyes and said 'she's gone' it wasn't clear to me what I just heard and felt in shock."

I looked at jisung once more before continuing and tears were already forming in his eyes.

"My father came home late that night and I was still clueless by eddies statement. He looked at me in the eyes with anger than tears rolled down his face. He dropped to the floor and I ran to him. He looked up and said to me in a much softer tone. 'Your mother got into a car accident on her way to you and left her lifeless. A drunk driver hit her and made her loose control and ran into a post.' Tears fell down and I hugged him tightly but he didn't hug me back."

At this point some tears started to come down and jisung was quick to sit besides me and rub my back. He looked so caring and loving that even the staff around us gave him google eyes.
Jisung is a good guy and I know I can be good friends with him sharing this with him is something major which he has earned.
He just can't know about Joe never.

"I'm so sorry what happened to your mom and how it might have damaged you. Is that why you were crying the day we met you?"
I cleaned myself up and looked at him here I go again lying to him over and over again.

"Yeah; I was just remembering that day and it made me sad" this is all fucken lies I suffer constantly thanks to Joe and forever Joe will be my living hell.

Jisung and I stayed quiet again for a bit I guess he was reflecting back to what I told him. My story is sad, but what I'm living is something I wish on no one. I looked up at him and he was smiling hard.

"Have I ever told you that you look really cute all clueless."
"Oh gosh hush it!"

We both giggled and before we can speak again BangChan came from the private doors making the most noise as he could.

"Okay dorks! Who's ready for work?!" Got up and dolled the two boys into this long hallways that had beautiful work done on the walls.
