MUTE AND ABUSED MATE novel Chapter 5

Fleurie's point of view:

My brother Ryan and I were quite close. When we were kids and mum was still around, we used to do everything together, from bathing with our ducks to getting each other in trouble and being mischievous.

He was with me every second of my life until I was eight years old when everything changed: my mother left, my father arrived became a violent scumbag, and my brother fled. When he fled, he left me a letter.

He said that he couldn't handle it any longer, from the violence of my father and the death of our mother and that he was going to ask for help and come back for me.

He never came back. Just like my mother.

I simply wanted to know whether he ever thought about me. Why did he leave when he knew the scumbag was violent? Was he ever considerate about the torture I would receive? or was everything a sham? Was I a mistake, as this scumbag claimed? Was it entirely my fault? What did I do to earn it?

I hurried out of school like there was no tomorrow. I was humiliated, embarrassed, furious, and sad.

He was mortified about the ugly scars and wounds on my face, I am really mad and in rage because of a monster who gave me those scars.

I didn't want him to see me like that. I didn't want that guy to see me all bruised up and scarred.

I don't want to see that look on his face. The pained gaze.

I don't know why. I don't know why I am feeling like this. I don't know why that guy is making me feel like this.

I came to a halt and began walking. My tears are falling and I don't know how to stop them.
