Erik P.O.V
I rub my ringed eyes as climb out of bed. "2:47am" I moan to myself as I exit my room to receive a glass of water. I open the fridge and poor the liquid down my throat, the cold making my once dryed mouth moist. I suddenly hear faint footsteps upstairs, Curtis must be awake. "Dammit" I curse to myself, Curtis doesn't usually enjoy finding me in the kitchen at early morning as he assumes I scavenger for food as he does. "Erik, is that you?" I hear him walking down the stairs as I try to hide behind the counter but in the nick of time Curtis notices me. "What did I tell you about having midnight snacks?" His tone was now stern and unpleasant. "I was just getting a glass of water, calm down!" Curtis then walks towards me as I get cornered, his tall figure looms over me as I feel powerless against the sideburned man. He stares at me for a few minutes getting closer and closer by the second, as I contemplate on explaining I feel a tight grip around my throat, my eyes widen at the contact. Curtis is bubbling with anger as he sets more pressure on my soon to be bruised skin. I could suddenly see white sparks endulge in the corners of my vision but soon fade as I feel the pressure become more faint. Curtis then let's go of my throat as I cough and gag for air. "Now are you going to admit and apologize?" His voice now more calm but witholds a tint of impatience. "I-I told you, I w-was just getting a g-glass of water" I manage to say between gasps. "Dishonestly is not welcome in this house, Erik!"
Curtis then grabs a hand full of my hair as he drags me up the stairs. I kick and scream hoping to awake the neighbours but all hope is lost as Curtis pushes me into his room and I callapse on the floor. He then locks the door and walks over to me, hands in tight, pulsing fists. He grabs the hem of my shirt and pulls me up resulting in eye to eye contact. "I'm going to have to teach you another lesson, arnt I?" He growls as he rocks his fist back and plummets it with all force against my nose causing me to fall back onto his bed, blood now staining the sheets. I can feel tears forming in the rims of my eyes, I try not to show any form of weakness but that was surely impossible. Curtis then climbs ontop of me, his weight pinning down my abdomin. "Have you learnt your lesson?!" He yells, flames indulging in his eyes. "No, I did not! Y-you want to k-know why, C-Curtis? Because I did n-nothing wrong!" I manage to yell throughout sobs. Curtis' breathing started to get faster and faster as his face became a dark maroon. I knew what was to come, with all force I start to plummit my fists into his chest, tears streaming down my cheeks, hoping that somehow it would manage to get Curtis off me. He then grabbed both my arms and pinned them down with his knees. I now lie hopeless with no form of self defence. Curtis then starts to slap me multiple times, my cheeks getting more and more red and sensitive. The burning sensation gets worse with every hit as I wail and plead for Curtis to stop. After about one or maybe two minutes, he finally stops. I of course cannot tell as the pain is excruciating. I then open my eyes weakly only to witness that Curtis is in tears, still above me. This wasn't the first time Curtis had ever treated me in this manner but seeing him and not just me in tears took me by surprise. "E-Erik... I'm so sorry! What have I done! I let my anger overtake my conscience and it resulted in...in... Something only my nightmares hold" Curtis was holding a expression I had never witnessed him indulge before, shock. He seemed like he had never done this before. He was pale and his body was trembling. He then sat up and pulled my chest towards his and hugged me tightly as he sat in my lap, tears staining the back of my shirt. I myself was now in shock, I couldn't move or say anything for that matter. My eyes soon started to overflow as I shakenly wrapped my arms around Curtis and wailed into his shoulder. "I-Im sorry, E-Erik. Please f-forgive me, I will t-try to control m-my a-anger. Please d-don't hate me!" Curtis pleaded as he tightened his grip around my waist.
I, still in shock, don't respond. I soon feel Curtis rubbing circles on my back in an attempt to soothe me. My breathing soon became slow and my sobs turned into faint sniffing as I drifted off in Curtis' loving inbrace.
