I have been feeling so alone it's like middle school again....it's so hard to tell anyone even my best fucking friend..! No one understands my pain..not a single person notices....at least I had someone who noticed...that person ...why. It always that guy! no one cares..." Alec tried to say without getting loud but he did. He got lucky enough for him almost everyone is outside watching the rockets lunch, except some people in math class and them two. Alec put head on his knees and cried.
"I care....Alec why don't you report him?" Elliot suggested.
"Why do you care so fucking much?!" He shouted. "I treat you like the worst, I treat rocks better than you, I put you down, I physically hurt you. You should hate me!" Alec cried out.
"...I...you should know more than most. I could never hate anyone!"
"You took my mom away from me...every single time I wanted to play with her but you got her every single time!! I was so jealous then when she died it was like I never got to see her," Alec cried.
"...my parents are always trying to push me, it took a huge toll on my mental health, I never meant to take her attention away from you it's just, I never was good enough for their liking and so I never noticed how much you got hurt when I was finally feeling loved! I'm so sorry Alec! and about the not hating you, I don't want anyone else to feel like how my parents treats me, such like useless, you can't do anything right, like you are such a failure, there is no hope, no one will ever be proud of you, you will never be successful, you are just a waste of space, my parents bring those thoughts in my head so that's why I'm always so appreciative of everything and everyone, it doesn't matter how much you have hurt me I know you'll be amazing one day and I appreciate you... I don't care if you are the worst of the worst I believe in you...you are a nice person Alec!" Elliot explained, his eyes are flooded with tears, crying throughout his monologue
"...Crybaby..." Alec said to mock Elliot. "I'm sorry....." Alec whispered while biting his lip.
"No need to apologize! We should get going, someone is coming," Elliot whispered back. Elliot grabbed Alec's hand to help him up.
"There was no need to do that!" Alec stated.
"I know I'm just trying to be nice," Elliot replied.
They both quickly got out of the bathroom while someone else rushed in. "I'm sorry Alec...I had no idea," Elliot tried to apologize.
"They could have killed us how fast they were going Jesus fucking Christ," Alec said jokingly trying to bring up the mood, it was too much for him. It was honestly a bad coping mechanism, but he'd rather move on then stay on topic.
That made Alec think. Footsteps were heading towards them. "You two! Alec, you are skipping again? and Elliot, what happened?! why are you skipping?!" The principal asked while walking up to them.
"I...I'm not skipping!" Elliot said worriedly.
"You teacher called me saying that y'all two were missing, I can't believe a kid good as you would skip, and Alec, I rather sorry to tell you but I've warned you too much I'm going to have to suspend you, go get your things and leave, tell your dad if you want to go back to the school tomorrow he has to come with you." The principal explained.
"...Yes Mr. Mac..." Alec said as he went away. 'This actually works in my favor anyways,'he thought to himself. He grabbed his backpack and went home. He walked in to see his dad wasn't home. He went to play video games to wait for his dad. His dad came home at 2 pm so he could actually be the one waiting for Alec, just to see Alec home playing video games.
"you're home early?" His dad wondered while slurring his words. He had been drinking again.
"They suspended me," Alec replied, a bit fearful of what his father's reaction would be.
Alex's dad was drunk and pissed. "What the fuck did you do, you bastard child?!" Alex's dad yelled.
That made Alec freeze up a little. No response made his dad's anger worse. He hated waiting. His dad grabbed him by the neck and pushed him against the wall. "Wait dad pls it's o- '' Alec tries to say something but can't because his dad tightens his grip on his shirt.
"Shut up!" His dad yelled.
Alec gave his usual unfazed expression. His dad slammed him really hard on the ground. Alec's dad grabs his beer bottle and downs it. He grabs Alec and breaks it on his head. His dad grabs the broken pieces, "Remember this fucking pain the next time you want to be a trouble maker!" His dad started stabbing Alec in his stomach, Alec kept his neutral expression even though it hurts he's just so used to it at this point. He realized that his dad was stabbing him deeper, the pain was unbearable but he couldn't physically cry or show anything other than just the blank look when his dad hit him but he was ok with it because crying caused his dad to be more mad.
His dad stabbed and stabbed until he got the glass to come out from the other side. It stinged and as soon as his dad pulled it out blood started just coming out when he was starting to think it won't stop. "Is that enough or should I make you half blind?!" His dad said as he went to stab his eye. Alec blocked it with his hand, it goes through his hand and barely misses his eye.
"If you wanted me to die I could have done it without your help," Alec told his dad. Alec feels empty as he gazes at his father.
His dad broke into tears, putting the glass down and hugging Alec. "What was I doing hurting you, I promise from now on I won't have any alcohol! I am quitting my addiction I swear! you'll never be hurt by me again I swear!" His dad promised.
He really wished he could believe that but he knows he will try. Alec started to feel dizzy from the blood loss and eventually passed out. Waking up the next morning all bandaged up. He was confused at first but realized his dad probably bandaged him up. His stomach and his hand were in so much pain but all he could think of was Elliot's parents. In his mind Elliot's parents were the worst people ever, they were always so nice and that made him pissed and he wanted them dead. He was never ever the type to think about murdering people before.
The way he feels towards Elliot makes him want to protect him at all costs which annoys him. He doesn't like the feeling he wished for Elliot to go away but also for Elliot to be there at the moment to comfort him at the same time he hated him and how spoiled he is.
The next day his dad is driving him to school, he sees Elliot's car in front of them. He became super pissed off and without thinking he grabbed the wheel and made his dad's car crash into Elliot's car. "Dad?! No No No! No!" Alec feels panic well up in him.
"Dad, wake up. Please old man! Wake up!!" Alec cried. He tried to kill Elliot's parents, not his dad. Elliot and his family got out of the car and went to check what just happened.
"...He...he is dead!" Elliot's mother cried. She trembles as falls to her knees.
His dad has glass shards everywhere on his body. It reminded Alec of last night. He wanted to cry but couldn't. He got out of the car uninjured, just frozen with fear. Eliot saw Alec and ran and hugged Alec. Tears started rushing down his face once he felt that hug. "I'm here for you!" Elliot said, trying to reassure Alec. Elliot moved them to the side of the street.
"I'm going to be an orphan!" Alec whispered-yelled. Oblivious to his own tears as he bit his lips raw. He was trembling.
"We can't have this on our records because we are so rich! Hey, Elliot sweetie, tell your friend to call the cops saying their dad was under the influence or something and that his family should be lucky we aren't sueing them!" Elliot's mom grumbled as she motioned to Elilot. He wanted to kill her so badly but he did what she said for the most part and they left as soon as he started calling the police. He went up to his dad and felt his dad's cold body. He thought he felt a heart beat but that was most likely wishful thinking. The ambulance came and took him and his dad away.
