"I don't want any fucking food. I'm not hungry and you can't force feed me" I snapped, then took a breath and took my head in my hands, "Sorry, I'm sorry. I shouldn't take it out on you"
"You do what you have to. Verbally abuse me, hit me, beat me, you name it"
"Tayte..." I began,
"I mean it," before I could say anything my phone rang, "Do you want that?"
"Please" I said, he handed it to me, "Hello
What the hell have you been doing? Be careful, you couldn't even do that!
Tammara, please not now
Don't you dare. If it wasn't so flaming dangerous I'd be flying over there to see you
You know where we are
Yes I know where you are, what you're going through and what has happened
Why are you pissed?
Because I care about you. Tell Talina to get in contact with Zayler Fernandez and say that Tammara is collecting the favour she's owed and get her to explain what's happened okay. I've got to go. And Keane, for God sake, this time be careful, I know you can fight it" and she hung up,
"Tell Talina to call Zayler Fernandez and say that Tammara is collecting the favour she's owed and explain the situation" I said, Tayte looked at me, "Just do it Tayte, I don't want to argue, I'm just relaying the message"
"If you eat that toast then I will" He said,
"It's cold"
"Tough it was hot when I bought it in" I picked up the cold piece and took a bite and put it back on the plate,
"I'm not leaving until both slices are gone," I forced the toast down and gave Tayte a forced smile, he nodded and left. I got under the sheets and shut my eyes. I forgot about the dream, but the dream hadn't forgotten about me:
"I see you haven't learnt your lesson yet" a voice said. I was bound by a rope to a chair, ankles and wrists strangled tightly by the rope. I was in a small cellar; I could smell the damp and the mould,
"Who are you?" I said and then a pain struck me as an electrical current rippled through my body, I shook against the restraints hissing,
"Don't worry about who I am, you need to focus on you or your siblings will die"
"That won't happen. I said I was sorry" I said through gritted teeth,
"Oh and that's going to make it okay is it! I'm so very sorry for killing my family, but I apologised so I hope this makes it all okay...BULLSHIT" I was zapped again, convulsing in pain,
"STOP" I screamed, "I'll change, I will, I'll look after them"
"LIES" The voice snarled, jabbing me again, I cried out, "You can't even fight this addiction of yours. You can't look after your family if you don't"
"No...no I will. I can and I will. I promise"
"Don't make promises you can't keep boy" he said ramming the metal rod hard into me. The current continuous, the pain unbearable, I was screaming as tears ran down my cheeks. Then darkness took over and my mind went black.
...
"Keane, Keane"
"Oh my God"
"KEANE", I felt someone slapping my cheeks, I groaned and slowly opened my eyes, eyelashes fluttering, "We've got you now. You're going to be okay. No more pain Keane, no more pain"
