Drake and Josh

a/n- most of this is from Drake's POV.

Chapter 1 - the news

I was sitting in my room practising my guitar for my gig on Friday night at the Premiere when I heard my mum shout my name. I sat my guitar down on my bed and made my way downstairs to the kitchen.

I looked around and asked "where is everyone?"

"oh will Walter and Josh is at a magic show and Megan is at Janie's sleepover."

I nodded and sat down beside her "so what were you looking I have to practise for Friday?"

my mum turned to face me and took my hands "will this is hard to say but, its your dad, your real dad, he was let out of prison early because of good behaviour or something. The point is he rang and said he had unfinished business with you." My face instantly paled at that one sentence. One simple sentence that would make my life more complicated that it already was.

You see my dad was sent to prison for child abuse. For years I put up with his verbal and physical abuse, never telling anyone in case they thought I was weak and pathetic. But one day my mum came home from work early while my dad was beating me. She walked in and seen me lying in a puddle of blood while my dad stood above me with his belt high above his head with a twisted evil grin on his gaunt face. I thought it was all forgot about, I had just finished making my life bearable again and this news came crashing down.

"no h-he can't have. Th-th-this can't be real…" I could feel myself struggling to breath. My mum put her arm around me and whispered comforting things in my ear.

When I had started breathing properly again she said 'now over the next few weeks I want you to be very careful, always let me or your dad know where your going and always have your phone with you."

I nodded and asked "what about dad and Josh they don't know anything about this."

my mum shook her head "don't you worry about that I'll tell them over dinner, you don't have to be there when I tell them."

I cut her off "no, I'll stay with you it might be better for us, besides its my story I should be the one to tell it no matter how hard it is."

my mum smiled "thanks Drake, its really brave off you to do this."

I went upstairs and did something I hadn't done since that night my dad was caught. I cried. I cried for what must have been a half an hour because I heard the front door open and close. They must be home.

I walked into the bathroom and splashed water over my face to wake me up and to get rid of the tear stains on my face and went downstairs for dinner.

My mum and dad where in the kitchen making dinner and josh was on the sofa flicking through the channels I walked over and sat down beside him

"hey, how was the magic show?" I asked not really interested.

"amazing, I couldn't believe what I was seeing it was fantastic!" josh shouted.

"dinners ready boys!" my mum called from the dinning table behind us.

All I could think as I was walking over was time to get this over with.

a/n - this is the first chapter of my first story so any type of review is appreciated. I know its very short just wanted to see what people think. It was inspired by an author called Transparent Existance's story Into The Darkness.
