*Authors Note* I can't really give a summary or it would give the story
away. It deals with a thirteen year old Bosco and **child abuse**.
Rated PG-13
*My Nightmare*
~Bosco's POV~
"I scream at him.
I tell him to stop.
I swear if he doesn't, I'll call the cops.
He turns from Mikey and glares at me.
He yell's that I wouldn't.
That he'd kill me.
I stand my ground,
My chin held up high.
I'm thirteen years old,
And no longer afraid,
Of the things that this man,
My father, has to say.
I'll take the beatings.
Every last one.
S'long as he doesn't hurt Ma or Mikey.
Hit me and be done.
And that's what he does.
He screams at me.
Kicks and punches...
Breaks my nose.
Slams me against the wall.
God it hurts.
He hits me some more.
I can see Ma, She's standing by the door.
She's crying, I can see.
She begging him to stop.
She's pleading for me.
He drops me to the hardwood floor.
And heads for the door. He grabs Ma, by the ear. Drags her to the kitchen.
But I can still hear,
Flesh on flesh
Bone on bone
Terrified screams and moans.
Silence...
Then the slamming of a door.
I crawl over to Mikey, he's scared.
I whisper his name.
"Don't worry," I say, "This is all just a game."
Darkness closes around the edge of my brain.
I can her Ma screamin' my name.
All I feel is pain, as I collaspe to the floor.
The word as I know it is no more. I gasp and awake, In a cold sweat.
I'm no longer thirteen.
I'm twenty-four today.
It's been eleven years, since that fateful day.
I hate the dark,
It's something I fear.
I have this dream,
Every year."
