Pain, tears & lies!

Thank you girls for those reviews, and I realize that chapter was earlier then expected, and Nadine, I updated the same night I spoke to you on MSN :-p lol, so yeah. But I did enjoy last chapter because it was a chapter I had never done before because it was about child beatings and it only consisted of one storyline, which I did not plan when actually writing the chapter. But I thought it felt right to only include that back story, and like I said last chapter, I might just have that storyline for this chapter, but I'm not sure yet, I have to wait myself until I near enough finish with the story, lol.

Now last chapter was rated 18+ and this chapter is no exception, only this time, this chapter is much worse then the previous one, with what Cole said in earlier chapters comes true and you see how sick Derek now gets and what Cadence must do to save her family. But what will happen with the Turner family? How will it meet its dramatic climax? Well you have to wait and read on this emotional rollercoaster.

So sit back, read and review please, I only seem to be getting two. I'm thinking of changing the synopsis of the story to maybe gain a few more eyes, but I can't come up with anything, so please help me out ya'll. Thanks :) Ok, enjoy!

Chapter 28: My family! Part 2

"I won't have you hurt them!" shouts Cadence who is on the floor upstairs, her husband, pissed and in his white briefs. Derek forcefully grabs her and lifts her up, walking back with her down the hallway near the stairs. What brought this on? His face sharpens more, the intensity in him gets bigger. Cadence, whilst scared and worried knowing the state her husband is in, she won't back down and looks at him dead in the eyes. She is done attempting to reason with him and play the happy wife, but she's finally getting a backbone and sticking up for her children… But why now, why at this moment?...

"I will do, whatever the hell I want, whenever the hell I want! Oh and also, you don't have much of a choice!" he yells, spitting and slurring. She looks at him confused, as she shoves her down the stairs and she tumbles down them hitting her head at the bottom and falling unconscious.

-o-o-o- Flashback -o-o-o-

"I'm going out!" says Derek at the dinner table and drops his knife and fork on the cleaned out plate, chipping the end from the impact. Cole and James flinch at their seats, whilst Cadence walks in from the kitchen with a blue and white stripped apron.

"You not staying for dessert?" she asks him politely, hopeful eyebrows raised, her light green eyes reflecting the light from the room making them twinkle. The bruise on her cheek which was hit by Derek earlier on is beginning to show but she always gets them, and the reason no one knows is because she wears make-up to cover it all up, afraid to show these signs in fear her husband will get taken away.

"Does it look like I want dessert?!" he snaps at her, spitting and slurring all at the same time. The drink still remains in him as he turns to his two kids who look up at him worried, and you can see the tear stains down James' cheeks and Cole's back has settled down, but still throbs and stings when he moves. "Goodbye boys" he says and strokes Cole's cheek slowly and tenderly which moves an unwelcome and shocked expression on Cadence.

"Alright honey, I'll leave you a slice of apple pie in the fridge for when you get home" smiles Cadence, the act she pulls almost everyday, but she remembers back to the gesture Derek had made to Cole, what was that about? Cole and Simon were too young to understand, but if Cadence did her math, it looked like sexual attraction, but she didn't dare question him about it knowing the kind of person he is.

"I won't be coming home" says Derek moving towards the front door, and Cadence follows, keeping her distance.

"Oh, why is that?" she asks, when Derek turns out with a pissed off face and raises a fist.

"Stop asking me questions!!!!" he yells at her, and she squirms and flinches awaiting a punch but he stops himself, and looks at his wife emotionally and deep in thought. "Sorry… I do love you" he slurs and Cadence is quick to pull on a smile.

"I love you too" she struggles to tell him, but did she really? She wasn't sure anymore, things were getting worse, he's drinking more, beating the kids more, beating her more, and she just didn't know anymore what love was. He frowns at her, not convinced that she means what she said, but he passes it off, grabs his black leather jacket and walks out the house, slamming the door, not intentionally, but slamming regardless. All that is left after the slam is silence as she just stands there looking at the door, and moving to the side window beside it to watch her husband meet up with some guys from his mechanic job.

"Why?" asks a voice, and Cadence is startled. Turning around she finds her eldest son, Cole, standing before her with an emotional and pained face.

"Why what dear?" she asks him confused.

"Why do you let daddy beat us?" he asks in an innocent and upset voice. That's when it hit her, it hit her hard like a ton of bricks. "I know you're in the house, I know you let it happen. But why? Why do it when you can call someone for help. No one believes me at school because they think daddy is great, and he threatens me saying if I showed them my wounds he'll kill me". Cadence widens her eyes shocked, a statement she never heard Derek utter to Cole.

"I'm sorry…" she tells her son, tears watering in her eyes, "It's just the way it is…" she tells him emotionally. "I need to continue with the pie…" she says and rushes off into the kitchen, when Simon approaches his brother.

"Did it work?" he asks in a squeaky voice and Cole smiles.

"Almost, just a little while longer" he says, and his brother nods his head.

"You promised me you'd play with me, so lets go!" sing songs Simon happily and Cole smiles.

"What about pie?" asks his brother.

"I'm not hungry" replies Simon, "I wanna' spend some time with you" smiles Simon and runs up the stairs. Cole smiles back and when walking off, scrunches up his face from the pain in his back. In the kitchen, Cadence opens the oven door and grabs her oven gloves, and attempts to remove the pie out from it, but upon taking it out, she breaks down into tears and drops the pie on the floor, a huge mess of apple and pastry everywhere on her clean white titled floor.

"I'm sorry…" she whispers through the sobs, "But I have no choice"…

-o-o-o Later that day o-o-o-

"Now you be a good boy and sleep ok?" asks Cadence looking down at her youngest son. It's 10:00pm and as it's a Friday, she allows Simon to go to bed 3 hours later. Next to Simons bed is a Scooby doo light lamp on top of a small cupboard and it's switched on but he looks to his mum.

"Could you keep the light on please?" he asks, "I don't like the dark much"

"How comes?" asks Cadence.

"Because now I can see if daddy comes into my room to hurt me" he says angelically and softly, which yet again breaks down Cadence. Her heart sings and tears yet again form in her eyes, but she shakes it off.

"That's a good idea kiddo, and if he does, you hide ok?" she tells him.

"Or you can save me" he says but she smiles at him, a tear rolling down her right cheek.

"Ok you sleep now" she says avoiding that comment, stands up, and kisses her son softly on the forehead.

"Night mummy, I love you" he tells her and she smiles at him, kissing him on the cheek.

"I love you too kiddo" she says, and walks away as Simon snuggles his duvet and small black bear which has its left ear torn off and a button missing on its tummy. Cadence walks to the door and opens it slightly to get out, the light from the hallway spilling into the bedroom. Stepping into the bright light, she gently closes the door and looks at Cole's room before turning back to the attic door, opens it, and walks up the stairs.

"Finally" says a relived voice, and Cole opens his door slowly and walks into his brothers room, who is sat on his bed happily and Cole approaches him. "So, did it work?" he asks and Simon happily bounces up and down on his bed nodding his head. "Did you use the voice?"

"Yep!"

"The puppy dog eyes I taught you?"

"Yep!"

"Did you mention how you cry every night?" asks Cole, hopeful and excited, but his brothers face drops.

"Oops, forgot about that one"

"Stupid idiot! That was the main one, we have to get mum really upset and help us, because no one else will" says Cole.

"Sorry…" sighs Simon upset and Cole gently punches his brother.

"Hey squirt, it's fine, don't you worry about it" says Cole and both brothers laugh. Upstairs in the attic, Cadence is having a different atmosphere as she pulls out her cell phone and a piece of white paper with a number scribbled down on it. She's breathing soft and slow, contemplating the idea, tears are still in her eyes, slowly falling down her cheeks.

"I have too… it's the only way…" she says to herself, making herself believe. Taping in the number she puts it to her ear and listens to the dial tone, until a friendly female voice picks up.

"Hello?" she asks.

"Hello Midge… It's Cadence"

"Oh hello dear, how are you?"

"I'm good… Listen, are you still positive about adopting my child?"

"Yes, 100, as long as you are"

"Yes… It's for the best, I have to do it to protect them"

"That's no problem, so tomorrow yes?"

"That's correct" replies Cadence taking another deep breath, emotional memories of her little boy flooding her head.

"Alright, I'll see you bright and early in the morning with the paper work and all else we need" says Midge and Cadence nods her head.

"You too, goodbye" and they both hang up. Cadence holds the cell phone to her heart, breathing slowly to control the tears. "It's for the best… I have to protect you" she says when the door is heard opening downstairs and she knows who it is.

"Anyone home???!!!!" yells a completely drunk Derek, slurring, bumping into things. "Maybe not!" he shouts hiccupping. His voice is much deeper and threatening, almost like a monster. Upstairs, Cole and Simon hear their father and both panic.

"He's drunk again…" says Simon.

"Really drunk! Alright stay in your bed and close your eyes, pretend to be asleep. I'll do the same in my bedroom" says Cole.

"Don't leave me!" begs Simon in fear.

"It will be alright, I promise you" soothes Cole, kisses his brother's head and runs into the hallway, gently closing his brother's door and enters his own, turning off the lights and pretending to sleep in his bed. Downstairs, Derek closes the door and walks towards the stairs, looking up them.

"I am home!" he yells and begins walking up the stairs with heavy footsteps, the stairs creaking with every step he takes. When getting to the top, he turns to the left to look at Simon's room and approaches it slowly, again, the wooden floorboards creaking with every step. "Daddy's home!" he shouts and grabs hold of Simon's door handle and pulls it down. Simon, petrified shuts his eyes harder and continues to remember what Cole told him.

'It will be alright, I promise you', and so Simon keeps that running through his head as he clenches his teddy harder. In Cole's room he opens his eyes knowing what is going on. Back in Simon's room, Derek slowly walks towards his son taking off his coat and then taking off his belt.

"Alright boy… time to give me yourself" he says and throws his belt away hitting a collection of Pokemon figures Simon had collected and having them fall to the ground which makes Simon jerk. "Oh so you're awake…" he says unbuttoning his trousers and having them fall to the ground with a thud and both Cadence and Cole hear this.

"No…" says Cadence and drops her phone and runs to the attic door.

"Be a good little boy!" shouts Derek and grabs Simon's arms and pins them to the bed as he now begins to scream hysterics and begs his father to let him go. "Shut it boy!! I'm gonna fuck you and you're gonna like it!!!!!" he screams.

"NO DADDY NO!!!!!" screams Simon, tears falling down his face, as his father rips off his Simpson's pyjama top. In Cole's bedroom, he has heard enough and throws off his duvet but Cadence has arrived downstairs and runs into Simon's bedroom.

"NO!!!!!!" she screams and grabs her husband by the shoulders. "NO MORE!!!!" she screams, but he turns, grabs her by the shoulders and forcefully moves her back, out the room, into the hallway and slams her into Cole's door, who was just about to open it but when he hears the collision he almost falls to the ground. Derek's face is fuming, spit, everything.

"Who the fuck do you think you are, huh? You're nothing but a stupid bitch!!!" he yells and back hands her face so she collapses on the floor. Cole hears it from behind the door and closes his eyes.

"No!!!" he yells.

"Shut it boy or you'll be next!!" yells his father, still in his white briefs but Cole just glares at the door. At this time, Simon escapes from his bed and hides underneath it for safety.

"I won't have you hurt them!" shouts Cadence, and Derek forcefully grabs her and lifts her up, walking back with her down the hallway near the stairs.

"I will do, whatever the hell I want, whenever the hell I want! Oh and also, you don't have much of a choice!" he yells, spitting and slurring. She looks at him confused, as she shoves her down the stairs and she tumbles down them hitting her head at the bottom and falling unconscious. Derek them stomps off to Simon's room and walks inside but although he can't see Simon, he can hear him whimpering under the bed. Derek sighs and kneels down to grab Simon's feet who begins to scream and struggle.

"No, please don't!!" he yells.

"Shout that mouth, you will need it for something else in a minute!" he tells him pulling his son out when Cole walks out his room.

"Hey!!" he yells and his father looks over, "Not him… Me! Do to me what your gonna do to him, just leave my baby brother alone!" shouts Cole bravely and strong yet with immense fear. Amused, Derek stands up as Simon looks over at his brother who gives him a small smile.

"I've always liked you" says Derek and approaches a petrified Cole and he steps inside his room and closes the door behind them. Simon runs to the door but he hears it lock so he runs to the stairs only to find his mother knocked out at the bottom. Running down them, he shakes his mother in hopes of waking her up but she won't. The next thing he hears is Cole screaming with pain whilst Derek performs his sick and twisted sexual acts on Cole.

"Cole!!" shouts Simon bursting into tears and collapsing on the ground…..

-o-o-o Next morning… o-o-o-

It's next morning and the sun is beginning to rise in New York. No one had come the night before to help due to the noises in New York, so the family were really on their own. Downstairs at the end of the stairs lays Cadence and Simon who had fallen asleep next to his mother who was still breathing, but begins to awaken from her mini coma she suffered from falling down the stairs. Simon was cradles next to his mother, tear stains everywhere. She looks to Simon and smiles, rubs her head and sits up when she widens her eyes. "Cole!"

"Cole?" asks Simon waking up, and Cadence stands up followed by a still sleepy Simon and run upstairs.

"Cole!!" yells Cadence further, and when getting inside the room, Cole is naked and curled in a ball on his bed, tormented and in pain, blood is on the bed from where Derek… did what he did. The sheets were also soaked with tears, but there was no sign of Derek, so he must have went off to work. Cole is still awake as he shivers and cries, Cadence immediately breaking into tears. "Oh Cole, honey.." she cries and runs towards him and on the bed, putting the duvet over him and holds him in her arms.

"Cole?" asks Simon confused.

"I'm so sorry honey, I'm so, so sorry, I tried to help I did… Oh god Cole, I'm so sorry!" she says in fits of tears rocking her son back and forth slowly. Simon doesn't understand what happened but he saw blood and could see how in pain his brother was, and knew that Cole did all of this to protect him. Simon makes his way slowly to Cole and to the side, both brothers beginning to cry.

"I'm sorry…" cries Simon.

"It's ok…" cries Cole, and all three hug one another… All three just cry, nothing else they can do but console in each other and cry.

-o-o Later that day… o-o-

"There you go, all dressed and bathed" smiles Cadence with Cole in his bedroom and he smiles, but the torment and suffering he had to go through is clear on his face, and it's something that won't go away for a long time. They then hear a knock at the door and Cadence realizes what it is. "Alright honey, stay in your room ok? Don't come out" says Cadence and Cole nods his head. Cadence exits his room and picks up Simon's red suitcase containing his clothes and some toys as she emotionally looks at his room. She had to pack away Simon's things so he could be taken away by Midge, and she even told this to Simon, but also told him he couldn't say goodbye to Cole, not yet anyway.

"Hello?" asks Midge behind the door.

"Coming!" shouts Cadence and takes one last look at her sons room and runs down the stairs where Simon awaits in tears. Cadence opens the door to see Midge, a short grey haired woman with blue eyes. "Hello Midge" smiles Cadence.

"Hello, and hello to you" she says to Simon and he doesn't smile, just cry.

"You know this is what we have to do… I'll bring Cole to you when I can, but he can't know… Honey this is for the best. I will always love you no matter what… Never forget that ok?" says Cadence and Simon emotionally nods his head, crying as he clings onto his mother, Midge looking on with tears in her eyes.

"I love you mummy" he sobs, and she hugs him tighter.

"I love you too little man…" and lets him go as an older man, walking out from a black car, grabs the bag, Midge's husband.

"Hey Frank" welcomes Cadence, and he smiles, noticing their distraught.

"Hello" he says emotional for the parent and son.

"You can visit us anytime, we're always in New York".

"I will" says Cadence, "Now go little man, I'll come and see you next weekend, I promise!" and Simon kisses his mother one last time before walking off with Frank and Midge, Cadence tearfully watching on. They all get in the car and Simon looks out the window and waves and Cadence waves goodbye and the car sets off down the road.

"Who was that?" asks Cole from behind and Cadence spins around startled.

"Cole! I thought I told you-,"

"Why are you crying? Where's Simon?" asks Cole. "Why are most of his stuff gone?" he asks, "Where were you when I woke up in bed?" This was it, Cole had practically cornered his mother and she had to say what she had to say, even though how much of a lie it was.

"He's dead…" she tells him and Cole widens his eyes in horror, tears forming.

"What! How?"

"Your father… After me and Simon cuddled you, he came from work, grabbed Simon and kidnapped him, taking his clothes and stuff… Driving off, he crashed and they both died" said Cadence feeling guilt and shame, but she couldn't let Cole know the real truth, not yet. Cole falls to his knees and begins to cry and his mother consoles him…

-o-o 2 hours later… o-o-

Cole was at a friend's party of which he didn't want to go to, as he was going to go with his brother who he assumes is dead. Cadence managed to convince him and he went in order to keep his mind off things whilst Cadence prepared things at her house.

She wears a short white skirt, and a low cut top showing off her breasts, and has applied seductive looking make up on her face and had her hair curled. She sits in the kitchen and taps her foot as she goes over things in her head, making sure that whatever she's thinking if correct. Nodding her head, she approaches the knives draw and pulls out the tray which had them in to reveal a gun at the bottom – that's what she was looking at, at the dinner table before. Picking it up, she conceals it in her blue purse and heads for the front door. "It's time to finish this…" she says.

Getting outside and getting inside her car, she begins to set off down the road with one goal in her mind, it was time. After 20 minutes, Cadence approaches 'Mechanic Bills', the place where Derek works. It's an open out warehouse and she can clearly see Derek and his workmates laughing and joking with nothing to do. Derek notices her pull out and when turning of the engine, she walks out with her purse and seductively looks at her husband, the men whistling. She flashes a smile and approaches Derek and immediately begins snogging him and he snogs her back, feeling every inch of her body. She stops and pushes him into the back room and locks it, all it contains are a few machines, whilst a much larger one in the back which crushes metal.

"What brought this on?" asks Derek.

"I love you, and I'm horny" replies Cadence and pulls off her husbands uniform and pushes him backwards. Every time she goes past a machine she turns them on so they make loud noises which makes the workers unable to hear … anything! They get closer and closer to the metal crushing machine of which she switches on and it makes a louder noise and he looks at her confused when she quickly knees him in the groin. Grasping it with pain, he falls to his knees.

"What the fuck you doing?" he asks her and she pulls out the gun from her purse and he widens his eyes shocked. "No, don't!"

"You beat my children and me… You raped Cole!! You expect me to let you live?" she asks him and for the first time he cries and begs.

"Please don't do that, I didn't mean to!"

"You tormented my son! He will never be alright!!" screams Cadence and Derek cries harder. "Time to go to hell where you belong!" says Cadence and presses the trigger and shoots Derek right in the head, killing him upon the impact. His fat, limp and lifeless body flops to the floor but she wasn't done there as she lifted him up onto the conveyer belt for the metal crusher and watched him move towards the machine whilst also throwing in the gun. Once getting inside, his whole body is crushed to pieces and deposited on the ground. It was now time for her to act as she screams, pulls off her top and skirt to show her bra and knickers and runs outside crying and screaming.

"What the hell?" asks one of the men, fat and grubby.

"My husband!! Please somebody…!!!" she screams and a group of men run inside.

"What happened?" asked the man, name tag reading 'Clive'.

"We were making out and in it all we hit some of the machine, but that huge machine… we got on top of that but accidentally hit the power button and he… Oh god!!" she cries and the men walk out horrified with what they had seen, Clive consoling a distraught Cadence…

Cadence was not predicted of murder and her story was believed by the jury. 2 weeks after Simon was adopted, Frank and Midge moved to England and didn't leave any contact information for Cadence, that she had to keep with the story that Simon was dead and held a funeral for Derek as well as a funeral for Simon- obviously not in the casket. Cadence and Cole then lived a happy life, but when Cole got to the age of 18 he emotionally left his aging mother and moved to California to study Law, and then 10 years later move to San Francisco to meet Phoebe. Cadence unfortunately died in her sleep from cancer, clutching a picture of her, Simon and Cole when they were younger- Cole never knew until it was too late. Simon left Midge and Frank at the age of 25 after they passed away and went into the SAS.

-o-o-o-o-o End Flashback!!! o-o-o-o-o-

We finally return back to the alleyway as it begins to start raining, and Cole remains on his knees, his fist bleeding from punching the wall. Distraught tears going down his face as he finishes his memory back track when he was little, remembering how close him and his brother were and what happened to them, the years they lost. "Why!!!" he screams when the rain begins to fall now.

"Why what?" asks a voice, and Cole looks up to find Aaron, the guy who was at that toilet with Cole as he called Phoebe.

"What are you doing here?" asks Cole with distraught and anger.

"I heard screaming, sounded like you, so I came to investigate… What's wrong?"

"I need help!" replies Cole continuing to cry.

"Then, maybe this will help…" says Aaron and pulls out a bag full of cocaine. Aaron looks at Cole seriously, whilst he looks up at Aaron, lost, all his hopes gone… But most of all… Contemplating the idea…

To be continued…

So there you have it!! That was a long, emotional, twisted and sick chapter as I'm sure you'll all agree. Now you saw how Cole ended up getting raped, how and why Cadence put Simon up for adoption and why she continued the lie to Cole. Also, she was the one who killed Derek all along, she lied about the car accident. Then at the end, what do you think of how it ended with Aaron showing Cole drugs in order to make his feelings vanish?

What will he choose? Oh and next chapter will be explosive!!! Well, probably not explosive but it is big. Someone's life will come to an end, Prue, now sure she knows Andy's secret will question him, Leo takes a turn for the worse and Victor does the unthinkable! What are these? Your have to wait and find out for the next chapter, but I need your reviews, so please, submit them.
