A Not-so-Straight Triangle

The Unlucky One

TW: Abuse, mentions of rape, extreme violence, swearing

A black-haired boy, who is 15 years old and is 5'0 tall, came home after his swimming practice. Just as he opened the door to his house, Percy could already smell the stench of alcohol like it was waiting for him to smell it over and over again. From how the house smells, he can tell if his "guardian" has a friend over, is home or is not yet home. He was afraid to go in since his stepfather, Gabe, was home and was awake. 

"Hurry up and make me dinner you useless piece of shit," Gabe shouted at Percy as he threw the empty bottle of beer at the teen. Luckily, it's a good thing that it missed Percy. It was rare that Gabe missed whatever he threw at Percy

As he went to the kitchen to make Gabe his dinner, the boy couldn't keep his tears. He thought of why he was still suffering with this pathetic man who only saw him as a slave. 

After he cooked Gabe's dinner, Percy went to his bedroom and cried himself to sleep thinking what could've been if his mother was still alive to this day. 

"It's fun playing with you!" an unknown kid said to little Percy. "Hope you come back here again," another kid said to him as Percy and his mom, Sally, were getting in the car. As they were on the way home, the steering wheel got out of control and they hit a tree. The crash was bad and they were in the hospital. As Percy regained consciousness, one of the doctors told him. "I have good news and bad news. The good news is you, little boy, are lucky that you have no serious injury. The bad news is your mother is in critical condition since she lost a lot of blood and has many serious injuries. We are trying our best to save her." After that, Percy couldn't help but cry and cry and hope for his mother to get well. After two days, the doctors said to him "We're sorry, kid. We couldn't save your mother." He cried more as he touched his dead mother's hand and hugged her. 

After the funeral, he was sent to an orphanage in Pennsylvania. He had been empty since the funeral and the kids there didn't help. They knew him as the weird emo kid. Though they didn't bully him, they just made him feel isolated. After a year or two, someone adopted him and it was the monster that is still with him. 

Percy shed tears as he dreamt of those events again like it was there to haunt him. 

"Wake up you brat and make me breakfast or else," Gabe, who just woke up shouted. Percy then gets out of bed to make breakfast and for him to get ready for school. After he made Gabe breakfast, he went to the bathroom to take a bath and got ready for school. He didn't have breakfast since he wanted to get out of Gabe's presence. 

Hey! I got my motivation again to write in Wattpad and hope that it will continue since vacation is only a month :,).
