I Sobered Up Quickly at the Sight of Her, Her Expression was Perfectly Blank But I'd been
With her Long enough to tell when she's
Angry, "What are You doing here? And why did You not tell me you returned home from the Marines?" Ellie asked me, I did not reply
My Breathing became Heavier Which Kyle
Had Noticed, "You Must be Ellie" Kyle's Voice
Held a Hint of Steel, "I am, How did You Know that?" Ellie asked, "For starters, I heard Him Mumble your Name, and He had told me and
My wife that He broke up with a young woman named Ellie" Kyle told Her, Her
Eyes flashed with Irritation at the reminder
"We did Not break Up, I don't know why
He'd tell You and Your wife that" Ellie said,
"W-We are Broken Up!" I stammered, "No, We're Not" Ellie said, "Let's get Out of here"
I nodded to Kyle, My eyes Never leaving
Ellie's, "We'll talk later" Ellie told me, "N-No we won't" I say, "We'll see" With that, Ellie walked Pass me and Kyle, My Breath returned to a steady Pace, "Are....You Okay?"
I Nodded softly as I Released a Breath that
I didn't realize I was Holding, Me and Kyle
Left the bar, "through all the Years I've ever known you....You had never acted Like that
Before....what did she do to You when You
And Her were together....?" Kyle asked me,
"I-It's nothing" I say, My eyes remaining
Fixed on the Ground, "Daniel" Kyle said,
I swallowed as I Replied, "She....abused me"
"Abused....You?" Kyle Repeated, I nodded,
"Did You....tell anyone else about that?"
"No, What Am I Supposed to say? That I Got abused By a woman? I'd....get Laughed at"
"Daniel....." Kyle said, Concern clear In
His voice, "My entire Life.... I've been told that Men Can't Be abused....for a time I Believed
It....Until It happened to me" I say as I Wiped
Away a few tears that Began to slide down
My cheeks, When Had I Began to cry?
Without warning, Kyle put his left arm around
My neck, "It's Okay" Kyle reassured me,
"I Don't....even know what I Did to deserve...that Kind of Treatment...." I whispered, "It's Common In Abused Victims
To believe that They'd done something wrong if they're abused Which Is often Not
The Case.... You've done Nothing Wrong"
"How can You....Be sure?" I asked, "Because I Know You" he told me, I chuckled softly,
"So....do You want to go home or back to
My and My wife's home?" Kyle asked me,
"I....Might as well Go Home...." I whispered,
Me, My Parents, My Sister....do not get along
Exactly..... You'll see once I Arrive there,
"If You're sure...." Kyle told me, "I am" I say,
"If You someone else to talk to aside from Aubrey, Our door Is always Open" Kyle told me, "I-I Appreciate It" I say as I Walked away
From Kyle, soon enough My Parents, My Big sister's House came Into view, I don't really
See It as mine to, It hadn't felt like home to
Me since I was Eleven years old, I walked Up
Onto the front porch, I took a deep Breath
As I Turned the door handle to walk inside,
My Big sister Jane Black Had Medium Length black hair and Hazel eyes, she stood about Five-Foot-Six, she had a Slim Build
she had White skin, she looked to be around
Thirty years old, she wore a bright Pink
Tank-top and ripped blue Jeans, she stood
In front of the front door with her hands On
Her Hips, "Why did You not let us know that
You were back Home Immediately?"
"How....did You know that I was Back Home?" I asked, Though I Already knew How
"Ellie texted me" She told me, Jane Had
Been one of those people who did not believe me about Jane abusing me....It
Broke my heart, "You're....still friends with her huh?" I asked, "I am...." Jane replied, I sighed, "I don't know Why You and Ellie broke
Up" Jane told me, "I told You Why!" I say,
"and she was Not abusing You!" Jane told me, "Yes she was! Why do You Not believe me!?" I asked as Tears threaten to leave my
Eyes, "because Women can't abuse men!"
I Clenched My Jaw As I Headed Upstairs to
My bedroom, If I Had turned around, I Would
Have seen Just a hint of Guilt In Her eyes
I slammed my bedroom door shut as I
Sat on my bed, tears Began to fall down
My cheeks, I took off my Brown Boots, I
Climbed Into bed completely, Hugging my
Legs, Later that Night, My and Jane's Mother
Knocked on my bedroom door as she said,
"Get downstairs, Dinner Is done" I Got out
Of bed, I Opened my bedroom door, I Closed
My bedroom door behind me as I Headed
Downstairs to the Kitchen, Sat at the head of
The Table were My and Jane's Parents,
My Mom Had Medium Length Black hair and Hazel eyes, she stood about Five-Foot-Seven,she had a Athletic Build, she wore
a dark blue T-shirt and Dark blue Jeans
she had white skin, she looked to be
Around Fifty-four, My Father Had Short
dark brown hair and dark brown eyes like me
he stood about six-Foot-Four, he had a Muscle Build, he wore a Light Gray Shirt and
dark blue Jeans, he looked to be around Fifty-Three, I say Right across from Jane
Two Cheeseburgers sat on a plate In front
Of me, "When did You return home?"
"Yesterday...." I say, "and You didn't think
To let us know?" My Mom asked, "Would You Guys have cared?" I asked, "What Is That supposed to mean?" My Father asked, His Voice dangerously low, "You and Mom... act as though You can't stand my existence "
"That's Not true, and You damn well know It"
"If this Is about Ellie supposedly-" I cut My
Mom off, "She did Abuse me! So far, Only Mr. Herman Believed me" I say, I Pushed my plate away and Stood Up, "I'm Not hungry"
With that Said, I walked back up to my bedroom, That Night....My dreams were Nightmares.
