CHAPTER 4 AUSTINS PAST

Austin's POV

I couldn't help but feel sad. I didn't make eye contact with ally. I couldn't make eye contact with ally. I felt a tear roll down my face and quickly wiped it away, not wanting to show weakness. Then, she asked why I was so sad. So I told her. "Because it all true." I said quietly. Then the sadness took over and I burst into loud heavy sobs. I just couldn't hide the pain any longer. I couldn't keep the sadness bottled up anymore.

She hugged me. "What do you mean Austin?"

"Do you know why my parent's aren't home ally? Do you? It's because they're gone. My dad hated me. He always pushed me around, kicked me, punched me; even hit me with different hard items. Then one day he just left. My parents got divorced and my mom and siblings were none the wiser. They never even knew it was going on. Dad wouldn't beat on them because they could defend themselves. I was only 5 when it started. He left when I was about 13. My mom raised up the rest of the way. Since in 16 now that means its been 3 years. But she died from cancer about 3 weeks ago. But since Jacob is 19 we got to stay with him. He works 3 jobs just to put food on our plates. We don't really get new things a lot. Our aunts and uncles paid off the house and pay for our electricity and water bills. Jacob only gets one day off every month. That was why he was here today. David has a part time job at a comic book store. Since me and Jessica are the youngest we don't have jobs. It's just so hard without her."

I started crying even more. I couldn't help it. Ally got up, closed the blinds to the window, and then came back to me.

"She was the best mom ever, and now that she's gone…."

I hesitated before showing her what I was about to show her.

"do you know what my dad did to me?" I took off my shirt and lifted my right arm revealing about 20 scares. She gasped.

Ally's POV

I gasped at the sight of the scars. I was shocked that someone could do that to a person let alone their own son. He put his arm down and his shirt back on. He was no longer crying. But ever so often I saw a tear roll down his cheek. We sat in silence for what seemed like forever. Then he broke the silence.

"Now that mom is gone, dad will come back. Once he finds out that she's dead anyway. Please don't tell my brothers and sister. They don't know and I never want them to find out until they absolutely have to. Ok?" he didn't have to give me the puppy dog face this time.

"Of course. Your secrets safe with me."

Jacobs POV

We all wanted to know what Austin and ally were doing up there so we decided to….. Listen in…. on their conversation. We heard everything and we were shocked. Dad would never do that. He could never do that. Sure he left but he was really nice. Austin must be lying. When he was smaller he got sick a lot and was always sore in the mornings but that couldn't be the reason why. I burst in the door my face as red as a tomato. My 2 younger siblings were struggling to hold me back and keep me from attacking my little brother. "Why Austin. Why would you lie about that and say dad did that to you!" I yelled. His eyes were red and puffy. He had obviously been crying a lot in the last 30 min but I didn't care. I was too mad at him to care.

"you were eavesdropping on us!" said my little brother.

"We want to believe you're not lying but dad was too nice a person to do that. We need proof if you want us to believe you." Said Jessica.

"Fine" he said. He was obviously about to cry but held it in. he took off his shirt and lifted his right arm once again revealing the painful looking scars. We all gasped.

"d-dad did that t-to y-you" David stuttered. He rarely ever talks so we all look at him when he says this.

Austin sat down and put his shirt on. A tear rolled down his face. Then he jumped up and started stuffing things into his suitcase. He then did the same with his backpack. He put his guitar in its case and walked out the room. He stopped at the door and turned around. "I cant be here when dad gets here. I love you guys. Bye." Then he just…left.
