L's POV (the next day)
Today I was going to go visit Light. This was the first time I was going to visit him since he was let out from the medical center. Finally reaching his room, I quietly knocked on his door.
"Light? It's L can I come in?"
I didn't receive an answer so i worriedly opened the door and didn't see him. But I did see that the bathroom door was closed. Rushing forward to open it, I heard someone slam their body against it.
"Light, please let me in. It's L."
Slowly the door opened giving me full view of Light. Thankfully there was no blood in the bathroom. Light looked so tired so I decided to lead him to his bed. After lightly grabbing his shoulder he flinched. Then I saw his wrists peeking out of his shirt. They were swollen and bruised.
"Light, these bruises, are they from your cuts?" I asked quietly.
"No," he replied in a faint whisper.
Reaching to unbutton his shirt I finally opened it all the way. Light had bruises, cuts, and other marks covering his entire chest. No wonder he was always hunched now and it hurt when I touched him.
"Light, who did this to you?"
He just shook his head in response.
"Light, you have to tell me these kind of things. Was it your father?"
After asking that he just stood there silently.
"How long has this been going on?"
More silence.
"Light you have to tell me. Im worried."
"Since I was little. But he just started doing it again when the chains came off."
"Light! Why didn't you tell me anything?"
"Because I was worried of what he would do to me if I told anyone."
At this response I finally cracked. All the emotions I'd been trying to hold back came out. I loved Light and I couldn't hold it back anymore. I slowly reached my arms around him and gave him a small hug. Then slowly guided him to his bed to sleep.
The rest of the day I couldn't stop thinking about Light and his father. I had to do something. So I decided to confront Light's father.
