Chapter 2

Discalimer: I do not own BTTF and I never will…..sadly

In this chapter italics represent flashbacks

Marty was beside himself with worry. He wondered where his mommy was. The man with the funny colored glasses told him that his mommy and Biff would meet with them tomorrow, but what if they didn't? After all his that's what his daddy said the night he had to go into work late.

Marty had just finished up getting ready for bed, he was now waiting for his daddy to come tuck him and read him a bedtime story. When his daddy did came in he wasn't wearing his normal sleeping clothes, he was wearing his work clothes.

George sat down on Marty's bed and pulled Marty close to him."Marty, Daddy can't read you a story tonight because I was called into work."

Marty gave George a mournful look, "Why can't you go tomorrow?"

"I can't go in tomorrow because there is an emergency and they need me to go fix it"

"What about my bedtime story? We were gonna read another chapter from your book Daddy." Marty said giving his daddy a pout.

George sighed; he had to gather every ounce of his strength in order to resist Marty's adorable puppy dog face. "I'll tell you what Marty. Since I can't read to you tonight I'll read you two chapters tomorrow night instead of one."

Marty gave him a thoughtful look contemplating his daddy's offer. "Do you promise Daddy?"

"I promise pal, now go to sleep. I'll see you in the morning." Planting a kiss on Marty's forehead George ruffled Marty's hair playfully then pulled the covers over Marty. As he exited the room he turned off lights and whispered a silent "Good night." to Marty.

But his daddy never came back. Mommy told him that a bad man had killed his daddy and that daddy moved up to heaven. Marty didn't take the news to well, in fact he pretty much checked out. He transformed from a happy, care free boy into a shy, distant one. Marty also was scared that his mommy would leave him just like his daddy did, so he refused to let her out of his sight. As of the moment though Marty didn't know where his mommy was. All he knew is that his mommy was with Biff.

Marty frowned, just the thought of Biff made him uncomfortable. Biff didn't like him very much and Marty didn't know why. He was always calling Marty a "runt" and pushing him around when his mommy wasn't there. He tried his best to stay out of Biff's way but it seemed that Biff always seemed to find an excuse to bully him.

When his daddy died his mommy told him that he would look after Marty from heaven. She said that his daddy would protect him and keep him safe. Most nights, that was enough for Marty to feel safe, but then again most nights his mommy was there for him. Tonight he was terrified, he tried leaving the room to find his mommy but he was stopped by one of Biff's henchman. When he tried to run around the big man, he was quickly knocked over by the two other henchmen that were standing outside. He was then roughly picked up and locked into the room he would be staying in for the night.

Marty realized that his life was rapidly going downhill ever since his mommy agreed to marry Biff. Sure in front the press and the general public Biff seemed like a real family man but behind closed doors Biff wasn't so nice. He was constantly yelling at his mommy and making her sad. And one time Marty even saw Biff hit his mommy and that made Marty really angry. But what could he do to protect her. He was just a little boy and Biff was a lot bigger and stronger than him. Marty felt helpless he couldn't protect because he was a "weak little runt" as Biff called him.

Curling up into a small ball, sad tears started to fall down Marty's face. He wanted his mommy to hold him and tell him everything would be all right. He wanted his daddy to come and take him away from Biff and his henchmen that constantly bullied him. He wanted everything to go back to the way it was before his daddy died. Marty tightly clutched the book his daddy gave him before he died. It was the first official copy of his daddy's new book that he was in the process of publishing. His daddy promised that they would read it together, but he obviously couldn't keep that promise now. And now Marty would never know if his Daddy's story…..if his story would end with a happily ever after.

That night Marty made a silent vow to himself. He vowed that he would try his best to get bigger and stronger in order to protect his mommy. He would still stand up for his mommy even if that did mean that Biff would hit him. In his mind Marty thought that it was worth it. In his mind he would gladly become Biff's punching bag in order to protect his mommy. And when he got older he would find a way to take his mommy away from Biff and all the pain he caused her. But Marty couldn't protect his mommy when he wasn't with her. So he made a desperate plea to his daddy in heaven.

"Daddy I know you're up there in heaven lookin' after me. Mommy said that you would always protect me. And I want to thank you for protecting me. Since you're protecting me in heaven I'll protect Mommy for you cause I know you wouldn't want her to get hurt. But tonight Mommy's not with me and I can't keep her safe. So I was wonderin' if just for tonight you could protect mommy instead of me. Don't worry about me I'll be fine, I promise."

Marty could've sworn he heard a silent, "I promise." whispered in his ear.

Pulling the covers over his head Marty slowly drifted off to sleep knowing that his daddy would keep his mommy safe because his daddy never broke his promises…at least not intentionally.
