Thank you to JasonFTW, xXx, guest and guest for reviewing and leaving suggestions, I love reading them and I'm glad you enjoyed the last chapter :)

Prompted by Sophie- New year, when Rick is bullying Jason only this time he gets violent and Robbie walks in on them.

Chapter 21- he can't help it!:

As soon as Jason got home he snuck away from the crowd and went upstairs to his room. He'd got food he needed to hide and he didn't want anyone to find out, least of all his dad. He made it to his room, pushed the door open, put on some music and opened the draw. He had loads of bags of uneaten food in it, all just lying there waiting to be thrown out.

Rick was making his way up the stairs. He wanted tell Jason how proud he was of him, for him being able to sit and eat a family meal in the dog. Rick made it to the top of the stairs, about to walk into Jason's room expecting to find him on his phone, but what Rick did see he wasn't expecting.

Jason carefully took the wrapped up food out of his jacket and was about to place it in the draw when all of a sudden he heard his dad's voice outside room about to come in. He froze, he didn't have time to hide it when his dad came in. Jason stopped and stared at dad who looked horrified. "Downstairs", he said. "Now!"

Rick left the room sharply. Jason was terrified, his dad had just seen the last thing he was hiding. He knew he couldn't take his time walking down the stairs, it would just make his dad angrier. Jason started to walk downstairs; he felt sick, he had a lump in his throat, he was shaking and for some reason he felt nervous, really nervous.

Jason walked into the kitchen to find his dad standing there with his arms crossed. "Sit down." Jason reluctantly sat down at the work top, trying not to look his dad in the eyes. He heard his dad move behind him and get something, then Rick put a plate of food down in front of him and Jason realised what it was.

"Eat", Rick said forcefully. "You're not leaving this room until you eat that, all of it." Jason rolled his eyes, his dad was stupid if he thought Jason was going to eat that. "No", Jason said, "I'm not going to eat that."

Rick sighed and became more agitated inside. Why couldn't his son just be normal, not have to be weird and have problems like a girl. Rick just couldn't understand why Jason didn't want to eat, it wasn't difficult. Jason had to listen to him, he had no choice, Jason had pushed him to do what he was about to do. Rick just hoped he'd get the message loud and clear.

"No Jason, you will eat it even that means I feed you." Jason just sat there, not budging. His dad could shove off if he thought he would be able to feed Jason. How old did he think Jason was, 5. He went to stand up but Ricks hand planted firmly on his shoulder, stopping him from moving. Jason sighed, "I'm not eating it!" As he shouted this he threw his hand over the table knocking the plate of food on to the floor.

Rick had had enough, Jason was pushing all of his buttons, testing his limits and Rick was not having it. "Why can't you just eat, be normal!" He said, now moving in front of Jason to look him in the eyes. Jason looked upset, angry and embarrassed but Rick didn't care.

"I don't know", Jason replied with tears in his eyes. He didn't know why he couldn't just eat, why he felt the way he did and now his own dad had just clarified his thoughts that he wasn't normal. "Well think Jason, think!" Rick shouted demanding to know why his son wouldn't eat.

"I can't dad, I can't. Just look at me!" Jason screamed, tears streaming down his face. Why couldn't his dad just understand? "Look at what, my pathetic excuse for a son", Rick spat. "Dad don't, please", Jason pleaded knowing where his dad's rant was going.

"Don't what Jason, don't what! Oh please dad I don't want to be fat, you're pathetic!" As his dad said this Jason became more and more upset, how were these words coming out of his dad's mouth? It just didn't make sense. Well it did to Jason because his dad was right, he was fat and pathetic, so Jason knew he had to do something about it.

"Do you want me to feed you like a baby? Rick said mockingly, taking a fork from the counter and reaching down to take a potato from the floor. "Come on, let's do aeroplane." Rick brought the fork up to Jason's mouth, wanting him to eat it, trying to force feed him.

Jason jerked his head away from the fork and fought back the tears that were threatening to fall. "Come on Jason, please", his dad said desperately. Jason shook his head and sniffed, his dad was literally shoving the food into his mouth.

Jason kept moving his head away from the fork, Jason was not going to eat that. He'd wokred so hard, why was his dsd trying to ruin everything, but then again he was right: Jason was fat and pathetic. "Please Jason, just eat it!" Rick was getting annoyed now and his body was going tense. "Jason just eat the flaming potato!" Jason got even more upset.

"For God's sake!" Rick screamed as he threw the fork down on the floor, startling Jason. Rick grabbed Jason shirt and pinned him up against the wall. "Why can't you just be normal!" Rick shoutedpunching Jason in the jaw. The impact of punch sent Jason flying to ground and Rick kicked him in the stomach.

Robbie came through the door and heard shouting and crying coming from the kitchen. He put his keys down, walked through into the kitchen and he couldn't be live what he saw. "Oi, dad what the hell are you doing!" Robbie shouted running forward to grab Rick. He threw him out the back door, telling him to go away and never come back.

Robbie then turned around and looked at Jason. He was lying on the floor, clutching his stomach, he was crying and he looked broken. "Jase", Robbie said as he knelt down beside his brother. He seen Jason's bruised cheek and was shocked that his dad had done that. "Jason, it's alright", Robbie said embracing his twin brother in a hug.

The pair sat there on the kitchen floor, hugging one another. Jason cried because he was scared and vulnerable while Robbie cried because he was shocked; he was shocked because his dad, the man who was supposed to care for them, had punched and kicked Jason.

Later on that evening Robbie was helping Jason get himself ready for bed. "So what happened when I was gone?" Robbie asked while Jason was sitting on the bed, feeling slightly awkward. "Nothing", Jason replied hoping Robbie would just leave him alone. "I don't believe you", Robbie said sitting down next to his brother on the bed. "Ah come on Jason, you can tell me."

Jason sighed knowing he'd have to tell Robbie. "He tried to shove food down my throat", Jason said, breaking down into tears. "Ah Jason", Robbie said bringing his brother into a hug. "And then when I didn't eat it, he got angry", Jason sniffed and cried even more. "It's alright, we'll get through this."

As Robbie said this he vowed to always protect Jason and if their dad ever came back, he'd make sure that it was the worst decision of his life.
