Riku trembled as he crouched in a far corner in his room.
Why? Why did this have to happen? Why was he in a situation that he couldn’t
get out of no matter how much he wanted to? Why did his mother just leave on
some stupid business trip for a week? He had enough abuse during the time she
was in her work hours but now he had to try to handle all this abuse for a
whole week? He’d never survive! He’d be killed for sure!
Riku flinched when he heard the door from downstairs slam.
He was coming… He was ready to come up here and play another one of his stupid
games with him… Riku wanted to die immediately at the spot so he didn’t need to
go through all of that again. Being beaten constantly… For what reason? Did he
do something to deserve this?
His whole body tensed up when he heard footsteps making its
way up the stairs. Riku’s trembling increased as he buried his head onto his
knees. He wanted to run but there was no place for him to escape to. He wanted
to hide but the last time he tried that, he was easily found and beaten twice
as usual for trying to hide away. He was too terrified to move in the first
place. His mind was hoping, praying that he wouldn’t come into his room. But he
knew that wasn’t possible. He knew he was going to be punished again.
Riku flinched back when he heard the door swung open with a
big bang. There stood the person who he was most afraid of. The one he wanted
to get away from with all cost. The one that was ruining his entire life ever
since his mother married him. And that was only two weeks ago.
“WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU, YOU SON OF A BITCH!?”
Riku tried hard not to show his fear and slowly stood up
from where he was hiding himself in the far dark corner. He could see his
stepfather was drunk once again. He always was when his mom was away. Why was
that?
“Were you, you little fucker, trying to hide again?” His
stepfather said in a dangerously low tone of voice.
“N-no…” Riku knew it was no use hiding.
“SHUT UP! From now one I’m doing the talking here,
understood!?”
Riku swallowed hard, trying to hold back his tears and
nodded. He began to breathe hard when his abusive stepdad began to stomp his
way towards him. He wanted to run but it would only make thing worse. For him…
and his mom…
“Fucker!” Riku felt himself get knocked down by a heavy
blow. “Why the fuck didn’t that bitch give birth to a daughter instead!? Now
I’m stuck with a stupid son!”
Riku bit his lips, anger flashed in his eyes. If only his
mother knew what his stepfather was doing to him. He would have told her about
all the abuse he was getting if it weren’t for this one thing…
“WHAT’S WITH THAT LOOK!?” Riku felt himself getting smacked
on the face. “YOU WANT ME TO KILL YOUR MOTHER, HUH!? YOU WANT ME TO KILL BOTH
YOU AND THAT BITCH!?”
Riku whimpered and shook his head.
“Good…” His voice became dangerously low again. “Because if
you ever tell her what I’ve been doing here when she’s off to work and she
starts acting strange around me, I’d get the clue that you said something. That
would also be my cue to take a fucking knife and stab both of you. And you
better remember to cover up your wounds so she doesn’t see that you got
injuries. Got it?”
Riku nodded without looking at his stepfather in the eyes.
His mother never knew anything about this… Everytime she’s around or anyone
else, Riku’s stepfather always acted so different. So different that it was
very hard to believe that he was an abusive father. He always seemed so
friendly and caring and even seemed to love his mother as he keeps talking so
sweetly to her. But everytime… everytime his mother went off to work it was the
same abuse everyday. If his mother ever noted injuries on Riku then he always
lied, saying it came from his daily training with the others on the beach. He
had to because his mother had asked him once in front of his stepdad, who he
noticed a dangerous glint in his eye. A warning that both will be killed by him
if the secret came out. It was so horrible for him. And now his mother is gone
for a whole week and that means more abuse. What had he done to deserve this
all?
“I hardly have any amusement anymore by beating you all the
time…” His stepfather said slowly in a drunken voice. “I’m growing so bored of
it… What a disappointment that your mother didn’t have a girl…”
Riku’s eyes widein hin horror when his stepfather began to
rip his shirt off.
“But since I’m so bored and that bitch won’t be coming back
for awhile, I decide to give this a shot with a male for once.”
And Riku went through the worst experience in his life.

“All right!” Sora grinned as he jumped onto his father’s
couch. “The whole house to myself for four days! Yeah! I can do anything I
want!”
He chuckled to himself and threw himself onto the couch,
stretching. His father and mother decided to take a vacation on their own
because they felt their life was becoming a bit stressed and they just wanted
to be on their own for a few days. They kept asking if it was all right with
Sora if they take a vacation without him. Of course he didn’t mind a bit
because he didn’t feel like going on boring trips with them and he always liked
having this house to himself. No one tells him when to go to bed or when to
stop eating all that junk food or that he shouldn’t watch that movie because
it’s rated R. Heh, now he had his own kind of vacation. He felt great and
independent.
Taking a bag of Oreos, he munched on the cookies as he
turned on the TV. He tried to find a show that looked interesting and not
kiddie-like. He was startled for a moment when he heard the phone ring.
Annoyed, Sora dropped the bag and made his way to the telephone, picking up the
receiver.
“Hi.” He said simply.
“Sora? It’s me, Kairi.”
Sora smiled lightly and sat down on the chair next to the
phone. “Hey, what’s up? Any reason why you’re calling?”
“Yes, I just wanted to let you know that my mother and I are
going on a vacation for a few days so I just called to let you know that
because we already packed and ready to leave in any minute now.”
“You too!?” Sora mused. “Seems like everyone is going off
for a few days. My parents, your mom, Riku’s mom…”
“Oh yes, about Riku, would you please let him know about my
leaving.”
“Huh? Why don’t you go and call him like you did with me?
You know his phone number.”
“I… tried.” Her voice sounded disturbed. “But… every time I
try no one picks up the phone and when someone does all I get his an instant
slam before I can even say a word.”
Sora blinked. “Was it always like that?”
“No, that’s the strangest thing! It just worries me somehow.
I know someone’s home but no one answers and when I do it just gets cut off. I
just don’t know what’s going on.”
“That… sounds weird.” Sora didn’t really know what to
comment about this. “And exactly when did this strange thing start?”
“Well…” There was a long pause. “Sora…? I’m… I’m going to
tell you what I think… but please don’t freak out or get mad.”
“What?” Sora became very confused. “What is it?”
“It’s been going around since two weeks… About the time
Riku’s mother remarried. I have a very bad feeling that this new stepfather
might be a bad person…”
“A bad person!?” Sora let out a snort. “Come on! You and me
have met him and he’s a nice fellow! Riku’s mom loves him a lot and he seems to
do pretty good with the kids! How can he be a bad person?”
“Sora… I know that’s the way it seems but Riku doesn’t seem
to like him much.”
“He probably isn’t used to having a new dad.” Sora tried to
reassure her. “He may eventually.”
“Yes, but… it’s just that I once saw a bad bruise on his arm
that one time and it didn’t look like it came from these fights that you and
him usually do. It didn’t look like he had bumped his arm either. When I asked
him where he got that he just gave me a glare and walked off. And think about
it, why is no one answering the phone!? A normal person would go and do that!”
“Are you suggesting…” Sora began to swallow hard. “That
Riku’s stepfather is… beating him?”
“I-I don’t know… I don’t know what to believe but recently I
noticed that Riku keeps himself hidden from everyone after his mother’s
marriage. I’m so worried that something… bad is happening!”
“Why…” He whispered. “Why didn’t you tell me about this
earlier…?”
“I just didn’t want to believe it myself… I kept thinking
that I was only imagining it but now I’m…” There was a women’s voice in
background calling Kairi’s name. “I’m coming, mom! Give me a minute! Listen
Sora. I’m hoping I’m wrong and I want you to prove it to me once I get back. I
really want to come back to find out that I had only been making a big deal
over nothing! So please go and find it out for me. Since I’m going to be gone I
won’t be able to do it. Will you do it?”
“Sure…” Sora said lightly. “I guess… It would be horrible if
something bad was happening to Riku.”
“Oh, I do hope there isn’t… Yes, mom! I’m going to hang up
now! … Sora… I’ll see you then.”
“Yeah, bye. Uh… have a nice trip with your mom.” Sora slowly
placed the receiver back on its place and sighed deeply. A few minutes ago he
felt pretty good. Now he feels miserable. Is it true that he and Kairi were
being fooled as something bad was happening to Riku behind their backs? He did
notice that Riku was keeping himself hidden away but he didn’t think too much
of it at first because Riku was usually the type to hang around with himself
when he wants to be left alone. But was he really being harmed?
Sora turned around to the TV set, watching the people laugh
and play upbeat songs. Watching this made Sora think otherwise. That’s why he
picked the remote and turned the TV off quickly.
***
Riku was lying on the floor, crying bitterly. As if his life
wasn’t bad enough already! As if he didn’t think he deserved more torture! He
trembled in fear and from the cold as he was lying there without even wearing
boxers. He never knew he would actually get raped.
Raped… that horrible word… His tears increased just thinking
of that awful word. Why… Why didn’t he fight back? Why didn’t he try to defend
himself? Oh yeah, that’s right… It would bring back to the old fashioned business
of blackmail… He had tried to defend himself once and in return of trying to do
that was getting beaten even rougher than usual and the threat of “You try to
move and you’re dead and so will be that bitch!”
He couldn’t take this anymore. Why wasn’t anyone trying to
help him? Why doesn’t anyone save him from all this abuse and threat? Why
couldn’t he just find the courage and try to tell someone the truth? He much
rather die than go through any of this again. He was getting so sick of these
stupid games his stepfather did. He would sometimes force him lean against the
wall while he beat him for thirty seconds. If he even fell down to the ground
before the thirty seconds were up, then he would be repeatedly kicked until his
stepdad seemed satisfied.
No… no more of that… please… no more… He so much rather die
than go through all this again. He wanted out from all this. He wondered why he
hadn’t killed himself from the beginning. It would have been so much easier.
But why doesn’t he just try to escape? His mother wasn’t going to come back for
a while so this was his chance to get out of here without any harm befalling
his mother. But where would he go? Where could he hide? Who would save him…?
Who would even care…?
Riku forced himself to stand up. He didn’t want to go
through this again so he made up his mind to get out of here. He wiped some of
his blood from his body, flinching from the pain. No… he was definitely getting
out of here. Another brutal act and he’ll get killed for sure. He slowly
trotted to his clothes that were lying on the floor but forced to look away
when he saw how torn and shredded they were. He sniffed and wiped his tears
away with the back of his hand but they kept on coming.
Riku growled and opened his closet, getting out another pair
of clothing he usually wore and quickly slip into them. He had to get out of
here as fast as he can before who-knows-what will happen. The trouble was, even
though the clothing was clean, they immediately became strained with blood he
had on his chest. After he was done, he opened his door as silently as he
could. He couldn’t afford to do any noises. He dared to walk towards the stairs
that led down to the door that led outside. He first listened if he heard any
noises from downstairs before carefully taking a few steps down.
He tried hard not to breathe loudly as he was semi-seriously
injured. It was also the fear of getting caught. If he got caught than he might
as well have earned himself another brutal rape or who knows what! He somehow
managed to get to the bottom of the stairs without attracting attention. He
frowned lightly and made his way through the living room which had the door
that led outside just on the other side. He nearly gasped when he saw his
stepfather on the floor nearby the living room couch, looking a lot more drunk
than usual. He seemed to be asleep though. He was still holding onto a beer
bottle as he snored lightly.
Riku swallowed hard and began to walk past him with less
noise as possible. No way was he going to let himself get caught.
“Where… the… hell… are… you… going… boy?”
Riku’s went wide with terror and spun around to see his
stepdad slowly getting up from the floor, gripping onto his beer bottle.
“You want to die?” He sneered drunkenly. “I can help you
with that.”
Riku threw himself onto the ground when his stepfather threw
the beer bottle, trying to aim it at Riku but missed. He then tried to charge
up at Riku to strangle him but Riku didn’t want none of that anymore and
quickly got up from the ground and ran as fast as his legs could manage to run.
He ran in full speed up to the door leading outside and
rammed it open with his bruised body. He flinched once he got out, nearly
stumbling down to the ground but with his stepdad chasing him, he forced to
continue his running. As he nearly reached to the shore were his boat was he
turned his head to see his stepfather at the door entrance, shouting back at
him.
“GO AHEAD AND RUN, YOU FAG! LIKE THAT’S GOING TO DO YOU ANY
GOOD! I’LL FIND YOU AND KILL YOU, THEN I WILL RAPE YOUR DEAD BODY!”
Riku sobbed and shook with fear, but tried not to slow
himself down from escaping. He got into his boat and paddled off as quickly as
he could manage even though his arms felt too weak to do anything. He hoped his
abusive stepdad couldn’t swim. But another question remained in his mind.
Who should he turn to when in need of help?
***
Sora strolled through the beach, wondering. What Kairi said
to him over the phone never left his mind. Was she right? Was something bad
really going on? How would he know if all he ever does is walk around in
circles? But if Kairi became suspicious of something… then maybe he should too.
He couldn’t just go and ignore something when someone feels uncomfortable about
something. But it never seemed that something real bad was going on. If
something horrible was happening then Riku would have told him, wouldn’t he?
Wouldn’t he!?
He sighed. Placing both hands over his face. If he is
willing to find out why doesn’t he just go and do it? But what good will it be
to go now, trying to find out? It was getting very late for one thing… but
maybe it doesn’t make much of a difference. He didn’t know what to do. Perhaps
he should just ask Riku? Yeah right! Riku isn’t really the kind who’d tell the
truth when something is wrong! That’s just not going to get him anywhere! He
decided to just go and see if he could find anything out. There’s no way he’s
going to be getting much sleep with the thoughts he has now bugging in his
mind.
Yet… something didn’t seem right when he went closer down to
the beach. He started to hear a faint sound that sounded like someone was
whimpering… or something! In the darkness, he could see a figure lying in the
sand a few feet away from him. Feeling confused and a bit scared, Sora made his
way toward the figure until he came close enough to see who it was.
“RIKU!” Sora was shocked, extremely shocked, to find Riku
just lying there, his clothing tainted red and his arms and face bruised and
bloody. And right at the same time… the same time he was worried that something
bad was happening.
Tears burst out of Sora’s eyes as he ran up to Riku and
kneeled down beside him. Trying to be careful, he pulled Riku’s shirt upward to
look at his skin from underneath. His tears doubled when he saw a lot more
bruises, almost everywhere.
“Oh my god…” He croaked before raising his voice in anger
and sadness. “OH MY GOD! Riku, who did this to you!? Tell me what monster would
do such a horrible thing to you!”
Riku’s face pained and tried to hold back his tears. He
could only answer in a weak voice.
“My… new dad…”
That was the last thing he managed to say before passing
out. All that rowing made him feel exhausted and tired.
