Big Baby

new day new pain

He screamed at me like there was no tomorrow I was safe as long as he couldn't find me. I could see the light through the closet shuttered doors I was shaking in fear that he would hit me again. He walked in the room with something that kinda looked like a indian arrow in his hand. He stopped in the middle of the room and listened I held my small hand over my mouth to muffle my breathing.

"Don't touch him!" Audra cried out trying to stop him but she was knocked to the floor and stabbed she screamed in utter terror. Suddenly the closet door slung wide open stabbed me with the arrow as I cried in pain my small loud high pitched voice was clearly distressed. I couldn't feel my own shoulder Audra kicked the man in the balls and grabbed my hand as we ran out the door. We ran right passed him and bursted out our front door. We ran and ran as fast as we could. Eventually she didn't even know where we were. We were just children hanging on a road side, we continued to walk until she saw a small store it smelled like coffee and only 3 people were there.

We sat at one of the tables and I rested my small head. "Are you okay?!" A boy older than me asked he looked scary she grabbed my hand and ran away out the store on my feet again. We had made it to a park it was early in the afternoon so not that many people were here. I saw a dog by itself so I went next to the dog and started petting it. It was a soft fluffy white Dog and the owner was no where to be seen.

A man came up infront of me and he looked happy and worried all at the same time. "Young man what happened to you there is blood all over your shirt and your face has bruises and bandages all over it" he confronted me I didn't answer I just looked away "Just come with me you don't have to go home or anywhere you dont want to I just want to take you to my daughters house so she can clean you up okay?" I didn't speak I just got up and held out my arms he chuckled and picked me up. "Oliver run!" my sister yelled I tried but the old man had his grip on me.

He looked around for my sister but she had already ran away. "Audra!" I screamed, he held me even tighter "we'll find her buddy" he walked me too house not too far from that park and brought me inside.

"Grandpa that was the kid I was talking about but the girl is missing " He spoke up, he didn't sound scary at all instead he sounded sweet and calm and now that I look at him he had kind eyes "Yeah I figured that much" the older man responded back, he gave me to the teenage boy and I didn't fight I was so tired I could barely move. "Make sure his wounds are treated, he gets a bath, give him new clothes, and feed him poor thing looks like he hasn't eaten in weeks I'm going to look for that little girl" the boy holding me agreed and took me inside shutting the door.

He walked into a kitchen where a woman was standing preparing a meal. "oh Josuke you're back what did you're grandpa need" she said not looking at the boy "It's not what he needed it's what this kid needed" she turned around almost immediately and awed at me. "You look so beaten up dear, And your clothes oh lord you're bleeding. You're so small..." She looked like was were about to cry just examining me.

"Josuke watch dinner I'll go take care of him okay?" She explained as he swiftly nodded. She took me to a bathroom and stripped me down of my clothes there was a large gash in my shoulder and she cleaned it making it burn a bit. She scrubbed me head to toe making sure I was nice and clean. She left the room asking me to wait for a moment and came back with clothes that were semi large. "Sorry if they don't fit little Josuke was a big boy" she giggled to herself.

She dried my hair and dressed me in the baggy clothes and addressed my bruises and cuts with bandages and hydrogen Peroxide. We led me to the dinner table where food was place in abundance. "Okay as you eat I'm gonna ask you simple questions okay? You can fill out a little piece of paper me and Josuke made so you don't have to tell us directly okay?" I nodded jumping in the chair eating rather quickly.

I looked at mom as we watched the kid eat from the living room as if he hadn't eating in days. It was sad. "where do you think he's from?" She asked me quietly "Maybe South side or Morioh no way he came from out of town but even the he looks like he ran for hours but his sister probably carried him for some way he couldn't of made it without her" I told her still watching him. "Someone in his life hurt him not even the low life thugs here would do that to a little kid" I agreed with my mom. I got a pull at my
School uniform and it was the small kid he had the paper in his hand and ready for us to read.

"Okay dear go sit on the couch while we go over this" my mom told him as he sat down watching us.

Me and my mother were utterly shocked and angered his father went out of his way to hurt his own child everyday. We both looked up to ask him some things but he was already asleep. I took him to my mom's room and let them both sleep. I couldn't sleep. This kid wrote down that he drew the future and this scared me a little bit.
