Day 14: Save Me chapter 1

Spencer opened his eyes. What time is it? He lifted his head to look at the clock and even that seemed to hurt. What happened? He started to sit up and realized he was naked. What the hell? That's when he spotted his father, also naked, lying on his stomach. That's when Spencer remembered what happened last night. As quietly as he could, because if he made noise and woke up his father, it would be hell to pay, he climbed out of the bed and dragged his sore and bruised body to the shower.

It took him forever to get to school. His father trying to get another fuck in and then he had to make breakfast three times before finally getting it right and suffering the consequences of every failed meal. So, he was grateful when he finally was out of the house. He shifted his backpack, carrying his heaviest books in his arms as he walked to school.

Derek laughed, tossing the ball around and nudged Aaron, "Look here comes the freak."

Aaron turned, and sure enough Spencer was staggering up the street. He never understood why he didn't just take the bus. He watched as Spencer started up the stairs, ignoring them. Spencer had stopped to adjust his books to fix his glasses.

"Need some help?" Derek laughed, knocking his books out of his arms, causing Spencer to stumble and trip.

"Have a nice fall!" Emily giggled.

"Spence!" JJ ran out of the school building toward her friend. "Are you okay?!"

Spencer shakily stood, "I'm fine," he gave JJ a small smile as he picked up his books and headed into the school.

JJ glared at the group, "You all should be ashamed of yourselves."

Emily rolled her eyes, "Come on Jayje, we're just having a bit of fun."

JJ scoffed, "Fun?! You think bullying is fun?!" Her eyes flashed and turned around and stopped back into the school.

Derek rolled his eyes, "Jeez! What's her issue?" He asked as the bell rang.

Aaron shrugged, "Beats me."

Spencer wiped his face before sinking to the floor of the men's room. The two places he should feel safe and he didn't feel safe in either one. He brought his knees up to his chest and placed his head on them. Was there nowhere he could go? The last time he tried going to the cops about his dad…he couldn't walk for a week. It just wasn't fair.

"Spence?"

Spencer looked up, "JJ! This is the men's room! What are you doing in here?!"

JJ laughed, "Oh Spence, let's just say, its not the first time I've been in the men's room. Come on kiddo, we need to get to class."

She goes to help him and Spencer flinches back with a hiss. JJ blinks before lifting his shirt, "Son of a bitch, Spencer. You're father?"

Spencer adjusted his glasses and turned away, "We're going to be late for class."

That afternoon, Aaron tossed his backpack on the kitchen table, "I'm home!" he yelled.

"What the fuck are you yelling for?" His dad stumbled out the living room. Clearly drunk. Aaron groaned.

"Sorry, where's Sean?"

"Do I look like I know where that little brat is?"

Aaron hesitated, "No sir, I'm sorry."

His dad growls and backhands Aaron, "You should know better. But you just don't ever learn, do you, you little shit."

Aaron places a hand on his cheek. He hoped like hell Sean wasn't home. Just as he opened his mouth to respond, he was backhanded again.

"Did I tell you to speak?! Shut your fucking mouth!"

Aaron swallowed and his mind raced. He needed to get away from his father, but how?

This was the time Spencer hated. Coming home from school. As much as he hated being at school, it was better than being home. Where his dad could do anything he wanted to him and he could do nothing to stop him.

"It's about time you got home. What took you so long?"

"S-S-Sorry, Mr. Butler needed my help."

William rolled his eyes. He wasn't interested. He stood and gestured, "Yeah, whatever. Strip."

Spencer blinked, "W-What?"

William narrowed his eyes, "You heard me. Strip. Now. Don't make me do it for you."

Spencer blinked. His hands shakily went to his clothes as he tried to think of a way to get out of this.

Aaron gripped his stomach as his father kicked him yet again, spouting insults. He tried to go into head and just wait it out. He hated when his father drank because it turned him into this. Each time he was beat, he thought it was the time his father killed him. Is there no one who could save me?

"Oh Aaron…" A soft gentle hand caressed his face.

"Mom?"

"My sweet boy. I'm so sorry." His mother appeared in front of him.

"Am I dead?"

"No silly. I just…I am so sorry. To leave you like this."

Aaron shook his head, "Mom, that's not your fault. It was dad's fault. He's the one that killed you. And I'll be damned if he did the same to Sean."

"You're such a brave boy. I wish we had more time together."

"Me to."

His mother hugged him, "It's time to wake up now Aaron."

"Aaron! Jeez! Can you hear me?!" Sean shook his brother.

Aaron blinked and opened his eyes, "Sean?"

Spencer bit his lip to the point of bleeding to keep from crying as his father thrust into him. It seemed as if he'd been going forever with no stopping. He closed his eyes and did what he always attempted when it got this bad. He recited the numbers of pi backwards until he all but passed out.

"Never give up Spencer."

Spencer sniffed, "I can't take it anymore mom."

"I know baby. But don't give up. You have to keep fighting. If you give up, you're letting him win and that's what he wants."

"It's so hard. It's just soo hard…"

Diana stroked her son's face, "You can beat this Spencer. Trust in yourself and your friends."

Spencer scoffed, "Friends? What friends? JJ?"

Diana just smiled softly, stroking his face again, "I need to go now baby. Wake up."

Spencer woke up when he felt a sharp jab in his gut.

"Get up you lazy piece of shit and go fix dinner."

Spencer struggled to his feet. As he headed upstairs all that ran through his mind was: Can no one save me?
