“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
