~Chapter 5:Tommy's Story

"Tommy can you tell us what else your dad doese to

you?" Asked Shawn sounding concearned. "Yea

Tommy any thing say will just stay between

us, unless you want us to tell someone." Eric told

Tommy with his had on Tommy's. "Okay i'll try.

The first few weeks i was here my dad was nice to

me and my mom, but after that everything

changed." Tommy paused starting to cry alittle.

"Just take your time just go slow." Shawn told

Tommmy to give him some confindence. "It started

with small things like oversleeping or leaving the cap

of the toothpaste. Than things like keeping the

televison on too loud. One time i had the stereo on

quiet but not enough for him, so he threw the stereo

on the floor till it broke into little pieces, then he

made me throw each one away. " Tommy finished.

Eric hugged Tommy. "I am so sorry this happened

to you. You dont deserve it." Eric said comforting

Tommy. "Thats not all he doese...sometimes i hear

him and my mom fighting really loud. One morning

she had a black eye, I knew my dad did it to her. I

am scared someday he will go to far and really hurt

us both. "Tommy this might be hard to answer but

tell me the truth, did your dad ever touch you in

anyway that made you feel uncomfortable?" Shawn

asked. "No nothing like that but, he has hit me

before." Tommy continued. Suddenly they heard

the door slam shut. "O no he is back." Tommy said

looking terrorized. Eric quickly saw a box of

crayons and took them out. "Lets just color if he

comes up he will see us and he might not get mad."

Eric instructed. "Good idea Eric, come on everyone

look happy." Shawn said picking up a crayon and

starting to color a bright yellow sun. For a few

minutes everything was quiet, then they heard

Tommy's mother "Honny where have you been." "It

is none of your bussiness what i was doing! I will

not be questioned in my house, you do what i say

when i say it!" Demanded Tommy's father.

"Hon...." Tommy's mother said getting cut off by her

husband. "This is it i have had it with you always

sticking up for that boy and trying to tell me what to

do. Well i will tell you something you got another

thing comming if you think your shit is gonna work

with

me!" Tommy's father yelled as he begain to walk

up the stairs. "Okay guys act cool, Tommy you will

be okay i wont let him hurt you." Eric wispered.

Tommy's father swung his bedroom door opened

and puled everything apart looking for the gun. Eric

and Shawn could hear the clicking of the gun as he

loaded it. They were so scared they couldn't move

but they had to act as if nothing was wrong, for

Tommy atleast. Then it happened they all heard it.

it was the gun shot heard around the world. All

they heard was Tommy's mother scream "No" her

husband just shoot the gun then with no remorse in

his heart they heard the door shut then everything

went quiet. Tommy was crying and Eric and Shawn

just stared at eachother with terror in their eyes

they wern't ready to believe it, they wanted it to be

a dream but i wasent it was reality.
