Chapter 18 Beats Coming Back
Walking up the path in front his home, Spike heard a scream and then glass shattering. He quickly ran towards the door busting in to find his dad getting ready to strike his mother , who was already in a fatal position.
Watching the scene in front him, Spike started having flashbacks of his father beating him after trying to protect his mom. Anger filled him as he blackout, he ran his head to his father's torso knocking them both on the ground.
Spike's mother, Ann, began scooting back to get to the phone that was on the couch. While her son tried to get a good grip on his father, but his father quickly struck him on his cheekbone then to the side of his right eye.
Spike hand instantly let go of his father shirt after the second hit cause him to fall to the ground covering his eye. His father got to his feet and began kicking him in his ribs making Spike groan out in pain and spit out blood.
"Always been a mum's lad. Probably fucked her too." Spike's father spat at him as kicked him.
Just when Spike's father was going to blow him with another kick Ann ran over weakly, with all her strength kicked him in the balls, making her husband fall to his knee nursing his genitals.
Giles came running through the opened doors and looked at his bloody and bruised sister and nephew. He quickly walked over to his brother-in-law and punched in the face so hard it knocked him unconscious.
After the ambulance came to care for their wounds and the cops got statements from them , they left with Spike's father handcuffed in the back seat . The cops also wanted them to come down the police station the next day to get a restraining order to keep his father away.
Giles and Ann were in the kitchen , while Spike tried to settled himself on the couch. Giles was boiling water for tea and Ann was making ice packs for her son and herself, which was a dance she was familiar with after they've taken an abusive beating. Spike was on the other hand still trying to find a comfortable position for his broken ribs.
"William, dear. You sure you don't want to go to the doctors? They said that the pain would be unbearable, love." Ann said handing him an ice pack.
"Mum, I quiet alright." Spike grunted as he set the ice on his right eye.
"Will, I think your mums right. You need a doctor. You could be bleeding internally." Giles said expressing his concern walking into the living room with the tray of tea and cups, setting it on the table.
"Alright, I'll go tomorrow." Spike said shutting them up.
"Excellent." Spike's mother said kissing his bruised cheek.
"Ann, how are you feeling? I swear if he's harm you anymore, I'd-" Giles began when he looked at his sister stitched busted lip and eye.
"Oh, no, Ripper. I don't want my brother and son put in jail because of me." Ann said interrupting him by brushing it off.
"So, mum. How did the abusive bastard know where we were?" Spike asked needing to know. When he didn't get a response, both Spike and his uncle looked at Ann waiting for her to answer.
