Warning abuse

Makoto woke up when his alarm clock went off at 6 a.m. as he sat up he gasped in pain from his bruises and then the memories from last night. His father had been drunk and hurt him. He shook his head and went to go get the twins up.

He opened the door and saw both them asleep in his brothers bed, holding on to each other. With a sad sigh he woke them up and helped them get ready for the day ahead when they were all dressed and packed they went into the kitchen and Makoto started preparing breakfast.

" Nissan ?" said his younger brother.

" Yes ?" asked Makoto.

" Do you think mum come home last night ?" he asked.

Now that he thought about it, " She probably did and is resting with father in their room," he lied.

" We have to get her out of their or he'll hurt her," his sister said while frantically getting out of her seat.

" Hey, hey, whoa slow down, " Makoto said catching her by the shoulders, " I'm pretty sure their sleeping and dad would never do that to mum, okay?"

" Ok," she said and then crawled back into her seat.

Makoto then sat plates with pancakes in front of them and got a plate himself and they ate in silence. When they were done he cleaned up and put the dishes in the sink and saw the dishes from last night in their to, he would have to do them later.

" Come on let's get you two to school," he said with a small smile.

While walking he texted Haru.

Can't pick you up today have to walk the

twins to school. Don't stay in the tub to

long and make sure you eat breakfast.

- Mako-chan

Will do thanks for the reminder, make

sure you get there safe, see ya at

school.

- Haru

Makoto smiled at the text and Haru's thoughtfulness and then put his phone back in his pocket. They walked a few more blocks before they got to the middle school. He handed them each some money for lunch because he forgot to pack them some. His sister hugged him and Makoto gave his brother a fist bump and they walked in the front doors.

Makoto let out a sigh of relief and the cringed in pain at his bruised ribs. Time for school he thought and walked towards the high school. As he entered the high school he was Nagisa running towards him.

" Mako-chan !" he yelled in a normal voice, seeming to have recovered, and jumped on him, causing Makoto to grunt in pain from he bruises on his stomach. Thank goodness his father didn't punch him in the face.

" What's wrong Mako-chan ?" asked Nagisa as he let go.

" I think I'm catching a bug," he replied with a small smile.

" Does this mean you will miss swim practice today ?" the smaller boy questioned.

" Looks like it," he said.

" Makoto," said Haru appearing behind them.

" Hello Haru," said Makoto.

The boy nodded back seeming all he wanted was a greeting.

" Haru-chan Makoto's sick and can't join us for swim practice," complained Nagisa.

Haru looked up to Makoto with a look that says are-you-alright ?

" I'll be fine Haru it's just a little cold," he said leaving the boy to sigh in relief.

The rest of the day went by as usual he even added a few coughs now and then to prove the point he was sick. They met up with Nagisa and Rei only to find out that all that studying only helped a little and Rei got a 94% on the test. When the school bell wrung Makoto said good-bye to the boys as they headed towards the pool and he walked towards the middle school.

Outside he saw his siblings sitting on the bench where they were the other day.

" Come on let's go home," he said as they walked quietly towards their house.

When they walked in everything was peaceful and quiet. Makoto sent them to their room to start on their homework while he made dinner not wanting to repeat the mistake he made last night.

The day continued peacefully in the house with the twins finishing their homework and eating. He them sent them off to both take showers. After that night came and he tucked them into bed and pulled a mat on to the floor where he would sleep that night to watch over them. Makoto then went to the bathroom to take a shower himself.

When he turned the water off he heard the slam of the front door and he rushed to put his clothes on. By the time he had his pants on he was pulled out of the bathroom by his very drunk, very angry father.

" Why can't you be normal !" he shouted in Makoto's face, " Why do you have to screw everything up !"

With that his father drug him into the living room and beat him senseless. Makoto protected his face not wanting to warn others of the abuse he was suffering. By the time his father had enough and went back to his room Makoto could barely move without pain overcoming his body. He finally pushed himself off the floor and walked towards the bathroom.

When he looked in the mirror he saw his face was perfectly fine except for a scratch he acquired on his cheek. Luckily, his father didn't break any of the skin on his body and his arms, legs, and torso were just covered it bruises.

He sat down, exhausted, and ended up falling asleep on the bathroom floor for the rest of the night.

Sorry for taking so long to update. Thanks for all the reviews :)
