Once again||Jaywon

11

Mom stood up with a look of disgust on her face as she walked towards me. I gulped and stood where I was. I didn't know what to do.

"What were you and Jay doing outside?" She asked. She looked so scary that I couldn't even look in her eyes.

"H-He was j-just seeing me off–

*tahh!*

I cupped my cheeks shaking, my eyes widened at the sudden itching pain I felt. I slowly looked back at my mother in disbelief.

She slapped me

She has never raised her hands on me

"One more lie from you and I'll have you out of this house" She said lowly. I had never seen Mom look this scary and threatening ever In my life.

I didn't know when tears escaped my eyes because of the riling fear I was experiencing

"J-Jay just d-dropped me off mom–

She grabbed me by my hair, I gasped at the sudden pain that hit me.

"You dare lie to me huh?! I fucking saw you two kissing!! You fucking disgust me!" She shouted in my face. I closed my eyes not wanting to see my mother deliver those hurting words to me

I didn't even have enough time to think when she threw me across the floor. I slid down, knocking a vase that was placed on a table. The vase fell and shattered. My blurred eyes quickly searched for my mother

She left the living room and got back with a rod

"Don't worry Jungwon, by the time I'm done, you won't be so gay anymore" She said with a crooked grin. As she walked forward, I crawled backwards facing her

I hissed when my hands laid on something, I turned and saw my hands filled with the pieces of the shattered vase, my hands were bleeding so much and I've never been a fan of blood. I usually pass out at the sight of it

"M-Mom help" I muttered looking at her. She didn't show any emotion on her face as she looked at my bleeding palms rather she lifted the rod and landed it on my body

I fell further landing on the remaining pieces of the vase, I shouted in pain when I felt them penetrate through my skin. I still searched for help from mom

"Please Mom...please help" I said, my face already drenched with my tears

She raised the rod again "I'm helping you already" She said and landed the rod on my body

Waves of great pain hit me as she kept on hitting me with the rod. Each hit made me want to die.
I had never imagined this day to come.

Jay

He's the cause. Because of his reckless actions, Mom turned to a beast. An emotionless monster. At that moment I wanted nothing but my mother's hug and comfort rather all I got were beatings and abusive words. All because of Jay

Mom stopped and looked at me on the the floor squirming in pain. She brushed her hair backwards and wiped away the sweats on her face with her sleeve. She threw the rod across the room

"Get out" She said and my eyes widened

"Get out of my house" she muttered. I ignored the scorching pain I felt as I kneeled before her, my knees were slowly getting penetrated by the shards of the glass vase

"P-Please don't kick m-me out. D-Don't" I begged even though I couldn't see her clearly, my right eye was completely shut down and heavy

She looked at me with disgust as she grabbed my hair. I shouted in pain because I already have a cut on my forehead and what she did opened it much more

She walked towards the door sliding me along. She opened the door and tried pushing me out but I clutched her knee

"P-Please don't. M-Mom" I called in disbelief

"Don't call me that you shit" she said and kicked me away from her before closing the door. My eyes widened. Mom just abandoned me.

Where do I go to? Whom do I stay with?

My head started feeling light, I was about to fall but someone held me

Jay

Present

I sighed turning off the tv. No more having mood for it. As I turned, I saw a framed picture. A part of it was cut off. I smiled in realization.

That was a family photo taken years ago. I was much younger. Much happier.

Mom and Dad got divorced a day after I walked into them fighting. I was probably Nine back then, I just wanted to tell Dad about my up coming school play.

But they were yelling at each other. I hid behind the wall, clutching my toy car in my hand. The yelled for sometime before Dad said something that left Mom speechless.

I'm gay!

He shouted and I still remember the horrid expression written on mom's face. He walked out of the room storming, once he reached the door, I held his hand looking at him

He crouched down and laid a peck on my forehead before hugging me tight

Since he left the house that night, I had never seen him again

I really miss him. I do.

And I don't want to be like those kids that want their divorced parents back together.

I really want him away from us if that makes him happy. I'm glad he left mom. He did the right thing

I just hope he's happy wherever he is.

And I'll make sure because I'm going to find him
