“It’s been a while, Elden. I’m starting to think he’s not going to wake up…” A voice whispered,copyright protection133PENANAV1vBAR4nWR
“He better, or I’ll kill him.”copyright protection133PENANAV2HJsZo3in
“How can you- Nevermind.”copyright protection133PENANAHCVpAVJWoQ
“Y’know… If he doesn’t wake up, both of us are gonna lose are jobs. We’re already on thin ice, Tennille.”copyright protection133PENANArStvRXN7XP
“Well, I’m pretty sure that’s your fault!”copyright protection133PENANAVtaXldiCkz
“It is not my fault! I’m not the one who thought blowing u-”copyright protection133PENANAQnMJwgr3Lm
“Hey! Hey! He’s opening his eyes!”copyright protection133PENANAY2p47pj9JO
“Oh, he’s alive, thank fucking god! ...Or just god since I shouldn’t be cursing on the job.” copyright protection133PENANA5mlXpoD9hs
“Kid, can you hear us?” Someone asked, and I groaned in response, my mouth unable to figure out how to say the word,copyright protection133PENANAZL0YmaBeXB
“Is that a yes?”copyright protection133PENANA5Mvg3jhlVm
“Y-Yeah…” I managed, breathing heavily, as my brain scrambled to figure out what the actual hell was happening,copyright protection133PENANAb0cxZkzDN8
“Don’t stress yourself. You’ve been out for a while, you need to take it easy.”copyright protection133PENANA6swMU034lh
“How hard is it to say ‘yeah’?” Elden scoffed,copyright protection133PENANATU2Wn9eaQi
“Elden! This is exactly why you aren’t a good cop!”copyright protection133PENANANLhcclYmYo
“Yeah… You’re right. I have no patience for this job anymore.” copyright protection133PENANAhEkkcRd4wU
“Then quit.” I muttered,copyright protection133PENANA8xhiTklriR
“Excuse me?”copyright protection133PENANANQnj8smwy8
“If you can’t do your job right, just quit.” copyright protection133PENANAeKS31ODs9J
“Well, you’re kind of a shithead, aren’t you?” Elden rolled his eyes, putting his hands on his hip, drawing my attention to the gun he was carrying. I felt tears slip down my cheek, as gunshots rung in my head, “God, you’re such a fucking baby for a criminal.”copyright protection133PENANAJHSo6xRWuD
“If you’re gonna be a dick, get the hell out of here.”copyright protection133PENANAWnSQ0Tg1XT
“Don’t talk to me like that.” copyright protection133PENANAsGvzEvy3G9
“Elden, he’s right. You’re being a dick, and you shouldn’t be.”137Please respect copyright.PENANAltSSA7o0OO
“Seriously?”copyright protection133PENANAI0wlMmF3ns
“Look, just chill.” Tennille sighed, “Tyler, what’s going on?”copyright protection133PENANAl7E6YqATPV
“Nothing.” I muttered, though Tennille didn’t believe me, as she scanned the room carefully, before her eyes landed on the gun,copyright protection133PENANAW9oAjTMV6m
“Is it the gun?”copyright protection133PENANAyaYomfUqC7
“He’s been in a fucking murder ring, there’s no way he’s terrified of the damn gun!”copyright protection133PENANAZoc9sCZMlh
“Elden!”copyright protection133PENANAxwQUrt8OY2
“I’m not sorry!”copyright protection133PENANAmgbauJuEAl
“You’ll be sorry when you’re sleeping on the couch tonight.”copyright protection133PENANAUeaeMl00Wn
“Excuse me?”copyright protection133PENANAEr9FS1zw4Q
“Ugh. enough. Just put the damn gun away.”copyright protection133PENANAbYS9s2lNjl
“Look, my hands are away from the gun.”copyright protection133PENANAq5GhmB12Us
“Seeing as he’s still shaking, that’s not the problem. Let me take a look at his file,” Tennille walked over to the laptop laying on the counter, “Yep, you need to put that away, come look as file.”copyright protection133PENANApN0OAqthr1
“Damn.” Elden whispered, as he looked on the computer, with a slight frown on his face. “Alright, sorry kiddo.” He concealed his gun into one of the cabinets, before locking it up,copyright protection133PENANA2zjO6rioVl
“Is that better?”copyright protection133PENANAyhEQpnx5wu
“Y-Yeah, thanks…” copyright protection133PENANA75o2j1DpXX
“Alright, look. You seem to be extremely exhausted, so we’re going to give you some time to rest, but after that, we’re going to need you to comply, okay?”copyright protection133PENANAmE52wlrNWZ
“Okay.” I took a deep breath,copyright protection133PENANAGC8gNMggD3
“Good. After that, we’ll either be sending you to prison, or a mental hospital.”copyright protection133PENANA41pAcBKIsz
“Alright.”copyright protection133PENANACsqwGMStnw
“We’ll be back tomorrow morning, so you have until then to collect yourself.” Elden advised, closing the door, before it quickly reopened, the last people I wanted to see coming through,copyright protection133PENANA5fwpubUaLN
“Tyler Noel Pafford! What in Christ’s name were you thinking?!” Mom asked, her arms flying around me, which I attempted to pry away, but in the end, giving up, as it still was difficult for me to move, especially without any pain.copyright protection133PENANAbmdotuwdOW
“That’s exactly what I’d like to know.” Dad followed in, his voice stern,copyright protection133PENANAxuZAOvVB35
“Don’t worry about it…” I muttered, avoiding his gaze out of fear,copyright protection133PENANAUnqTQBJ9J4
“Don’t worry about it?! Do you understand what you’ve done?! Arona took after you, and ran! You have disgraced the family name for Christ’s sake!”copyright protection133PENANAHWL7Ji5LKd
“That’s what you’re worried about?! The family name?!” I shouted, “Get the fuck out!”copyright protection133PENANAGBu8qPRPim
“I am your father, you cannot talk to me like that!”copyright protection133PENANAyeYFzSEO7D
“Well, I just fuckin’ did asshole!”copyright protection133PENANANds8xONVZp
“Tyler, calm down!”copyright protection133PENANAd4raDGwSQp
“No! You’re not gonna fucking tell me to calm down! I’m sick of all your dumbasses!”copyright protection133PENANAwmfMRwEs6m
“Now, Tyler, you don’t mean that-”copyright protection133PENANAag58g4Vvxm
“I’m pretty damn sure I do!” I snapped, making her flinch. Not long after that, I was the one flinching, as my father’s hand came into contact with my face, only further aggravating me, “Are you fuckin’ serious?!”copyright protection133PENANA8w0YlTS7OH
“Yes, I am fucking serious! You’re going to be in so much trouble when you get home!”copyright protection133PENANA6c8jkkxPgp
“Who said I’m going home?!”copyright protection133PENANAtN9VjMCXoV
“Hey, I’m sorry, but I’m going to have to ask you to leave.” Elden peeked in the door, copyright protection133PENANAg3T5xNryx4
“You can’t force me.”copyright protection133PENANAyMJUGPrs1O
“Seeing as I’m a police officer, yeah, I actually can.” Elden sent them a glare, to signify he wasn’t kidding. Dad grumbled under his breath, before following mom out of the room, “I’m sorry, we wouldn't have let them in if we knew…”copyright protection133PENANA7Slt0PC24M
“It’s whatever.” I sighed,copyright protection133PENANAtZhagDXXVG
“It’s whatever? How is it whatever?” Elden sent me a look of disgust, copyright protection133PENANAswE6Jx9b10
“I’m used to shit like this. Sure, it can be depressing, and sometimes it’ll piss me off, but that’s just my life.”copyright protection133PENANANxqsH0B4C3
“Just your life? No, it isn’t just your life. If you don’t end up in prison, you’ve got to leave. Trust me, I was in a similar position as a kid, and leaving was the best decision I’ve ever made.”copyright protection133PENANAyMi4Aahv3L
“I’ve already been planning on leaving for years now…” I sighed, “I’ve just been waiting.”copyright protection133PENANA1Q0yOB5jG6
“For what?”copyright protection133PENANAAAi9SgHP3b
“The day I turn eighteen, and can legally move out.” copyright protection133PENANAP2yppe7jXV
“Oh yeah, I forgot you’re a minor… I can take you in if that’s what you need.”copyright protection133PENANAuz4DRYPEAj
“I think I’ll be fine, I’ve survived this long already.” copyright protection133PENANAgR8HKGZIaf
“Seeing as you’re in the hospital for… self-harm, to the point where you almost died, I don’t think I can believe that you can survive any longer in that kind of environment.”copyright protection133PENANAAiELDqd8Vs
“Of course I can’t, but that’s not your job.”copyright protection133PENANAvVTVhyWjuz
“It’s not in my job requirements, no, but that’s the whole reason I became a cop. I want to help people in situations similar to mine, so maybe they won’t have to be stuck there for so long, because trust me, it’s fucked me up for the rest of my life.” He informed me, before taking a deep breath, “Of course it’s a different situation, since as far as I can tell, you’re mentally and physically abused, where I was… I was a kid, sold by my emotionally, and physically abusive parents, to be a kid trapped inside a pedophile ring, so they could have their alcohol, but that doesn’t mean it won’t scar you too.”copyright protection133PENANAQjM9Cq6yns
“I’ll be okay.”copyright protection133PENANAnTuvjxf6Yx
“Alright, I guess… Just let me know if you change your mind, okay?”copyright protection133PENANAE4ehQY8ngC
