I finally did it! The next chapter! Anyways, I've noticed that the title to this story is very odd. Very, different somehow. Well, I'm different so it won't make a difference. This title is not what you think this will turn out to be. No, there would be no giant soap bars attacking the world with laser eyes. Nope, just another some what tragic story is all. Please enjoy!

Chapter 1:
"BB" a soft voice called, lightly shaking the sleeping form. Beyond groaned as pain shot through all parts of his body. He flickered his eyes open slowly only to be greeted with large panda like ones. "L?" he choked up shifting slightly. L smiled a little at the sight that his brother was okay enough to wake up. BB tried to sit up but the pain shot through him like lightning bolts. "Shit!" he cried out falling back on his back.
"Don't move Beyond" L said throwing covers over his and fluffing his pillow. "You need all of the rest you can get." Beyond smiled. But it instantly fell a he frowned up at his brother. "L," he began but was cut off. "Never mind me" he said with a smile to assure him" I'm fine. He didn't do too much damage this time." BB blinked in pure confusion. How can his brother be alright with this?
"But he raped you L" he said sternly. "How can you be okay?" "I'm use to it" L said in a whisper. BB felt his eyes water but forced them back. No, he couldn't cry in front L. he promised not to. "He chooses me because I'm physically weak" L continued. "You, on the other hand, are stronger than me." "Don't say that L" BB said roughly grabbing his arm. L winced which made BB let go quickly. "Sorry" he mumbled. "What time is it?"
L looked over at the clock and sighed. "Almost time to get up and get ready for school" he said standing up. Beyond nodded and made to get out of the bed also. The pain hit him again but he shook it off. He stood up, looking around the room with a surprised expression. The room was cleaned spotless with nothing out of place.
"Where's dad?" Beyond asked staring at his brother who was now making up the bed he was previously in. "Job interview" L answered plainly. "I hope he gets it. If he does, then that'll mean he'll be out of the house more often." BB nodded in agreement. But one thing he left out. If he did get the job, then that meant that their father would have no reason to beat on them. Beyond shook the thoughts from his head as he shuffled over to the closet. He opened it carelessly and scanned his eyes over the selection of clothing.
He settled on a black short sleeved shirt and black skinny jeans and black and white converses. His father might have been cruel, but for some reason, he never wanted his sons to leave out of his house looking any kind of way. Something about reputation. Not that he had a good one in his opinion. He walked up to the now made up bed, throwing his clothes on it. "Are we eating at school today?" L asked sitting on the bed next to Beyond's clothes.
"Looks like we have to" BB answered going through his drawer in search for other things he'll need for his shower. "If dad left this early, then I'm not taking chances on staying here and eat. No telling when he's coming home." "Good point" L said now sitting in his crouching position.
BB sighed and ran his fingers through hi somewhat tamed black hair. He slowly lifted up his shirt only to see many bruises and gashes. He body was still in pain so this meant he had no choice but to turn to medication. "L, is there any more Tylenol?" he turned to his twin who was silently reading a book. "I don't think so. Dad got pissed and flushed them all" he answered not really looking up. "Aw, great" Beyond huffed in irritation. "Looks like we have to go meds shopping later." "We don't have to" L said, big panda eyes looking up at his brother. "I have some under my mattress."
Beyond smiled and walked over to his twin's bed. Lifting it up, he searched for what he needed. He grinned when he found it but something else caught his interest. A folded up piece of paper with dried blood stains on the back. He frowned at this and carefully picked it up. He had a strange feeling that this was L's blood to say the least.
He slipped the paper under his shirt and walked off to the bathroom. "I'll be out in a second" he mumbled before closing the door behind him.
*L's POV*
I watched as he disappeared in the bathroom. I let out a relieved sigh as of shifted over to relieve some of the aching pain in my ass. It hurts, but I would never tell Beyond that. He was stressing much as it is. He always took the worst of the punishments and I took on just the sexual abuse. I wish I had the power to stop all of this. But I'm weak and our father is strong.
With that fresh in mind, I sighed and stood up from the bed. There were more things I wanted to do before we head out to school. I walked in the living room, turning on the small lamp that sat in the corner. Our home wasn't healthy looking, but we were grateful for it. The condition was horrible let along the things that happens inside the walls, but we still was grateful. At least our father had a heart to not kick me and BB out in the streets which I am very certain that he'll be planning to soon.
I sat in my regular position, pulling out a spare piece of paper. I pulled out a rusty knife that I knew too well and sliced it across my index finger. With a comforting smile, I took out my pen and wrote something down. Little by little I let the blood drip on the paper, seeping into the words I was writing down.
BB knows nothing about this and I hope he'll never find out. If he did, he might kill me. I continued for a few more minutes until I heard the bathroom door open. I hurried up and threw the things back where they were and sat there like nothing has been going on. I saw that steam followed Beyond out as he made his way over to me. He sighed and dropped the medicine case in my lap, rubbing his palm tenderly on his neck.
"Feeling any better?" I asked pocketing the medication. "Yeah, I guess. Still a little sore here and there but it's, what ever" he said with a shrug. I smiled as I stood up to grab my backpack. BB did the same, throwing it over his shoulders. "Alright. Ready to go to the hell hole called school?" he asked me. I laughed at the remark and nodded. "Ready when you are" I said walking to the door after him.
When we made it over, he stopped dead in his tracks. "L" he said without looking at me. "Yes Beyond?" I answered. "Try to stay strong today, okay?" he asked looking at me with those bright red eyes. "Yeah, right" I mused walking after him.
And this is only the beginning of the day.
I am done! Sorry if t was too short for your liking. I'll try to make it longer next time! Thanks for reading.
