Thread: New Kid [Amigar & Fox Writer]

she shrugged. the little asshole seams to want to be exactly like his dear old dad. she admitted with a huff. can't really blame him i guess. when Daddies a big-shot why wouldn't you want to grow up to be just like him? she wondered, shaking her head. those apes. he only hangs around them because his dad told him to. i know that much. she admitted. he gets pretty nasty with them too sometimes. he beat the shit out of one of them last year, Aaron, the kid with the white hair? Nathan broke both his arms and his pelvis. he got suspended for two weeks for it and no one ever explained why Nathan beat the shit out of Aaron in the first place. she admitted wrinkling her nose. he scares me sometimes. he gets this look in his eyes like he'd like nothing better than to turn us all into fish paste. she admitted with a shake of her head. i've been hiding here for years. he won't come 'round. Nathan huffed. i'm not worth the effort. he grumbled. hating that the other raised a good point. it would be nicer to be in the house, so he followed. might as well, what did he have to lose? ...your Da was mean? he asked, startled. he couldn't imagine it. John was so happy when he wasn't picking on the little fr... shit. but then, he did the same things that Nathan did. he hunched over, protecting himself. well dammit, now he felt even worse. he winced a little when the ointment was pressed into his scratches. they weren't bad, nothing worse than a paper cut but they stung. yeah well.. the weekends are hard. i can't gt away. there's no club activities on the weekends so i have to go home. don't have anywhere else to go because anyone i went to would just call my rat bastard old man and then the beatings are worse. he admitted, examining the nail polish on the others nails. because your gay? he guessed. your old man didn't like it? he supposed. i guess your old man was as disappointed in you as mine is in me. he admitted with a sigh. i was supposed to be smart i guess. and a girl. he admitted. Da always wanted a girl. ma too. since i wasn't, thy tried to make me smart, so i could be some prissy toed lawyer like my old man, but i can't be smart. he looked furious for a second. can't be smart when your a retard i guess.. he shook his head. Dyslexia. i could get help for it, but Da doesn't want people to know i'm a freak. why was he opening up to this kid!? he couldn't afford to. John would just turn out to be like everyone else in his life. he was so desperate though, for some kind of attention that didn't cause some kind of pain. John was being nice to him and he wanted someone to not hate him for once. he winced when the ice-pack settled over his eye, Jesus that burned, he couldn't stop the outright yelp and recoilflinch when the hand settled on his shoulder. well that was just great, now the other was going to know about that too. he supposed there was no helping it. yeah. okay. he mumbled, holding the ice-pack in place, watching John amble around. he couldn't believe the other was being so damn nice. it made him feel funny inside, sort of squirmy and he hated that. ever since that incident in the bathroom he'd been feeling squirmy inside every time he looked at John. it was completely.... not okay. he sighed and set his hand down on the pees, feeling better than he had in a very long time. no one had ever taken care of him after a beating before. well, Anna had once but she'd told her mother about the bruising and the marks and her mother had called the cops and his father had to do fast talking about his son starting new sports and pushing himself too hard. that was when he turned his rage on his son, and Anna and her family too. that was when Nathan stopped having friends. i am just like my father. he whispered. he made me this way and this is the way i'll be for the rest of my life because there's no escape. he admitted, his lip trembling. shit. he wasn't going to cry. he wasn't! he wasn't going to cry! shit, he was crying, great wracking heaving sobs that made him feel tiny and small inside. he was pathetic, weak, a freak just like his dad always said and there was no escape.
