Depressing Motives.
Part 2
"Where did Reid go?" Caleb asked a few minutes later when he was unable to locate the blonde in the very few people that were left at Nicky's.
"Maybe he left? There aren't any good looking girls around tonight now" Pogue suggested, scanning the room for Reid as well.
"Probably, he did look tired as well so he probably went to get an early night ready for classes tomorrow; he's not that much of an idiot to know that he's falling behind, rapidly" Sarah joked, watching a smile appear on all their faces.
"Yeah, were worrying for nothing. Although does anybody else think Tyler is been a little harsh, I mean, he ditches his best mate for a girl. When me and Pogue got together, he didn't do that to you, did he Caleb?" Kate asked, looking at Caleb with a raised eyebrow.
"A little……DUDE! It's to be expected, you get a girlfriend, and it was obvious we weren't going to hang out as much as we used to, but no, he didn't do to me what Tyler is doing to Reid. He's way out of order I think" Caleb sighed, once again looking around for Reid, knowing deep down, he didn't go home for an early night.
"Maybe one of you should talk to him while the other talks to Reid, I know he's a hard ass who doesn't like to say things affect him, but his grades have got worse since this thing with Rachel and Tyler and they were poor to begin with?" Sarah suggested, looking hopefully at Caleb who sighed, but nodded.
"Thanks you guys!" She squealed, kissing Caleb on the cheek and giving Pogue a hug "this will really help. Both of them"
"Is it me, or does she need a trip to a mental hospital? This is Reid were talking about, Tyler, no problem, but Reid. You're the oldest!" Pogue hinted while giving Caleb a friendly smirk.
"You have more patience with him!" Caleb cried in despair, looking for any reason as to why Pogue should be the one to confront Reid and not himself. It wasn't that Caleb didn't want to help Reid, because he did, but he also knew that both of them had a very short temper, so it would most likely end with both of them fighting, probably even using.
"No, I have more patience, full stop. But dude, this might be the chance for you and Reid to patch things up?" Pogue smiled, trying desperately not to seem desperate in not talking to Reid. Pogue himself also wanted to help Reid, but Reid only talked to him about things in his terms, not any body else's.
"You and I both know the only thing that will be patched up at the end of it would be broken bones at the hospital" Caleb growled, sending Pogue a look that clearly stated that he was the one to talk to Reid.
"Ok, fine, I'll talk to him, but you work on Tyler. If anybody, he's the instigator of this, not Reid. For once" Pogue joked receiving him a small chuckle from Caleb.
"Dude, from this moment on, promise me, we will never fall out over a girl" Caleb sighed, looking at Sarah and Kate dancing to some track he didn't even know existed, let alone played in Nicky's.
"To much energy for us to fall out, neither of us have the patience" Pogue laughed also looking at Kate dancing, and suddenly, his jeans seemed a little tighter.
"So tomorrow after class, you get Reid out the dorms for whatever reason, and I'll make sure Tyler is away from that girl in his dorms where I can talk to him" Caleb said before walking towards Sarah, grabbing her around her waist and leading her outside. Somebody else obviously got a little tighter around that area.
"Hey Kate, yours or mine?" Pogue grinned, looking at his girlfriend with nothing but love tinted with a bit of lust and passion.
"I just don't know how to act strong all the time" Rachel sobbed into Tyler's shoulder, her tears soaking his shirt but he didn't seem to care. He wrapped his arms round her tighter as she cried.
"Its okay Rachel, I'm here, you don't have to act strong" He whispered into her ear, rocking them both backwards and forwards slowly.
"She's going to die though, and there is nothing I can do about it. I feel so helpless" She howled as another batch of fresh tears fell from her eyes.
"You can't control cancer, as much as you wish you can" He spoke softly, trying his best to comfort her.
"But she's my mother, I can't just sit here and watch her die" She wailed, gripping her finger nails into his back. Tyler flinched slightly, but refrained himself from crying out. He felt the blood ooze from his wounds but help back a whimper, this wasn't about him, she needed him and he couldn't say anything to her about it.
"Its okay Rachel, I'm not going anywhere, I'll help you through this" He mumbled, kissing her forehead, unaware of the smile forming on her lips.
"What the fuck are you doing back here?!" Reid's father screamed at him as he walked through the front door.
"I just need a place to stay for the night, I'll be gone before you wake up" Reid explained, looking at his father with fear.
"I thought I made myself clear the last time you came here that you aren't welcome anymore. I guess I need to refresh your memory" He sneered, his fist forming by his side.
"Father please, just one night, that's all I ask of you, I'll be gone before you know it. I just have nowhere else to go" He begged, already knowing what was about to happen.
The next thing he knew was his father's fist had smashed against his jaw and he was now collapsing by the wall, his legs unable to keep him standing.
"Okay, I'll go, please, just, don't" Reid pleaded, looking at his mother in the doorway with a bottle of vodka in her hand.
"No, you need to learn boy that when I say something, I mean it. I told you not to come back, and you did, so you need another lesson in respecting your elders" his step father hissed, bringing his foot in contact with Reid's stomach.
Reid rolled onto his back, struggling for breath as his father continued his beating. He received blow after blow on his head and stomach.
"You need to be careful as well, we don't want grandkids" His father snapped, sending the heel of his boot into Reid's crotch before walking away, his mother in tow.
Reid rolled around on the floor in complete agony, feeling nothing but wave after wave of pain from every bone in his body. Why did he come back home, knowing what would happen. It always happened, ever since he was a young boy, he should have learnt by now. It didn't matter how much he begged, he sealed his fate every time he walked through that front door. But he didn't hate his father, he thanked him. His father was punishing him for his wrongs against others; he was teaching him how to become a better person, his mother told him he would thank him properly when he was older. Somehow, he slowly gathered the strength to crawl up the stairs and into his room, collapsing on his bed while staring up at the ceiling. He was in to much pain to be able to sleep, and his problems to unknown by anybody to get comfort and support. So there he lay, just looking up at the ceiling as he tried his best not to let a tear fall. He failed.
