Chapter 8:

*Eithan*

I didn't know how long it had been or how long I had been awake, but all this time I looked at the food. At some point the sunrise had already risen, and it was time to go to high school. I sat down on the couch and rubbed my eyes a bit, my father was not in the area, probably went to sleep in his room. So with a lot of pain in my legs I went to my room and got dressed, the school uniform luckily managed to dry out. So I put it on, took the bag and went to the kitchen to eat. From the kitchen I took a jam cookie and a sandwich.

"You going to school?" I turned around and saw my father holding hands, one hand holding a bottle of beer. And wears the same clothes as yesterday.

"Yes, why?"

"Nothing "he replied".

"Father?"

"What?"

"Can I join the music club again?"

My father approached me quickly and I realized I had made a mistake, I came to resist and run away but he grabbed my hand and hit her with the bottle of beer. My hand was bleeding and screaming in pain, I was holding the bleeding hand in the other hand, tears of pain appeared and my soul started to get heavy, I lifted my head slightly and my father stood in front of me. He pulled my hair back.

"Dad… it. I 'm sorry... Please ..." He held what was left and aimed it at my head."

"Next time I hear that word you're dead!"

I nodded in fear, my father hated me playing, he did not like me playing the piano, but it would help me. The music would take me out of reality, forgetting all the anguish, pain and screams.

"Excellent!"

He aggressively released my hair and I landed with my head on the floor

"Go before I imprison you"

I got up very quickly, took the bag and ran away from home. I could not take a bus because of the hand so I walked to school through the dark alleys. I did not know how much time had passed, or what time it was but by the time I got to school the gates were already closed, and classes had begun. So having no choice I entered the school through an emergency exit. I opened the front door and no one was in the hallway so I took advantage of that and went to the clinic. When I opened the door I looked around to see who there was to no one so I allowed myself to sit on one of the beds and take care of myself. I took off my shirt and started treating the wounds I had. I had so many wounds that I did not know where to start but in the end I said what was most urgent so very carefully I took the glass out of my hand and started treating the wounded by hand.

"EITHAN!!"

The door slammed and I was startled, the bandage fell from my hand and when I raised my head I saw Rosen in front of me.

"Rosen…"

Rosen ran towards me and hugged me,

" Are you okay!"

Rosen sighs, he's glad to see I'm alive and breathing, but that's not true, I'm not alive and not breathing, things are only getting worse. Rosen released the grip from me and then looked at my hand.

"Did he do that to you?" I did not answer, I was ashamed, Rosen always knew about the situation between me and my father, he always wants to help but in the end it only causes more mess. He lifted the bandage off the floor and helped me bandage my hand.

"Where else did he hit you?"

"I..." He put his hand over my mouth and said to me:

"Do not talk, let me just take care of you, and now turn around so I can take care of you in the back" I did not object, fighting with Rosen will not always go, Rosen has always been there and will be after my father kidnaps me, He always took care of me and dressed me without asking too many questions, even though he knows the answers.

"I asked my father about the piano .." I whispered, my love for the piano was boundless and Rosen knew it.

"So you decided to keep playing?"

"Yes"

"Even if he does not agree?"

I put on the bleeding shirt, turned to him and said, "Thank you."

"Rosen ??? Eithan?? What are you doing here"?

Rosen and I quickly looked up and saw the educator and Oran in front of us.

"Nothing" I quickly hid my hand with the big bandage, smiled at them and said to Rosen: "Let's go, the lesson begins"

I got out of bed, took two steps and fell, my legs failed, a sharp pain appeared between my legs, I felt my body screaming, I could not get up. The pain was unbearable.

"Eithan…" Rosen quickly ran to me and touched my shoulder, but I flinched I looked at him but I saw Arnon in front of me and I was stressed, what is he doing here? Where am I? What? And my soul began to tremble, I felt dizzy, what's going on here? Why is he here? No! No.., no...Chance, he's here to hurt me, I do not want no. I quickly got to my feet, and started running but someone touched grabbed my hand.

"Do not release me! I do not want to! Please!!"

I tried to struggle but the grip was very strong and only increased, the hand pulled me to it and I collided with someone. I raised my head and recognized the teacher.

"Ah ?? ... What? Ann ..." I blinked very quickly, I was shaking, I did not understand what was going on here, for a moment I thought I was in the dark room again with Arnon, for a moment I experienced everything again. And I collapsed to the floor crying.

"I'm sorry… I…"

"It's okay!"

Rosen approached me and held out his hand and said to me:

."I do not know what happened to you yesterday but you have to lie down your back bleeding again"

Rosen picked me up, I wanted to fight, I did not want the teacher and Oran to see what had happened to me, but I had no strength to fight. Rosen laid me on the bed.

"I.." I tried to tell him that everything was fine, I would heal slowly and slowly and everything was fine. But he did not listen to me he tore the shirt while lying on his back.

"What the hell??"

* Carlos *

The words came out of my mouth very quickly, his back was horrible, it was all bruises and scars, there were old and new scars, and the news was bleeding.

"Oran!" I looked at Oran to signal to him that this was his treatment.

"What happened to you?" I asked, but he did not answer me, he hid his face in the pillow. He was ashamed, they saw him suffering. But my anger burned in me, who dared do that to a child? What have you done to him?

"Rosen, do you know what's going on here?"

" Yes..I know, but I cannot tell you... Sorry ..."

I looked at him angrily, he kept faith with Eithan that it was beautiful, but he did not understand the price. It's not enough that Jason is gone now I need to take care of an adolescent boy who is being abused.

"Okay, go to Rosen's class, and come back to the end, that's no reason to miss"

Rosen did not object, he whispered something to Eithan and disappeared.

"How is he, Oran?"

Oran treated his wounds, he disinfected them, dressed them but I was curious about something else.

"Look at his feet"

The second I said it Eithan folds into a ball and shakes.

"Eithan, what are you doing? I have to ..." But Eithan was no longer with us , he was breathing deeply, his body was shaking, he was weak and injured, I came to say something but Oran got ahead of me and approached Eithan, he injected him with something and Eithan fell asleep.

"What did you do??"

"In order not to cause any more problems I injected him with an anesthetic so I could treat his whole body"

I folded my hands and pulled out a cigarette.

"What do you think happened to him?" Oran did not look at me, he ignored the question and just took off his pants.

"What a .." I came to say something but I recognized what I saw. I got up quickly from the chair and hit him angrily.

"What the hell ?? Who did it? Find them Oran!! Find this son of a bitch, and kill him"

"Oran!"

Oran kept ignoring and it annoyed me even more so I touched his back and aimed it at me.

"Answer me!!"

"Calm down! Boss" he continued": Getting upset will not help anyone, right now we need to take care of him then we will take care of the culprits"

"Fuck!" I released Oran and hit a wall in frustration. "He's just a boy, who is the psychopath who thought he dared to do that?"

" Sense... I..."

I Froze, is he awake? Oran did not say he drugged him? How does it make sense that he is awake, and I looked at Oran who also did not understand why he was awake?

I approached Eithan, sat down next to him and said: "Everything will be fine, I promise"

" Eithan? I'll put a blood transfusion in you, so it's going to be a little painful."

Eitan nodded to him, he was weak, and it hurt me to see it, his face was pale and injured, it did not seem to me there was one place that was not bruised.

"Can you tell me what made it?" I asked him.

Eithan said nothing, he was shaking and his tongue even more, he was scared, he was terrified and they saw it on him.

" Teacher"?? I looked away and saw Jazz at the door.

"What you want?"

"Eithan's dad here!"
