"Tyler?" the boy groaned feeling something softly poke his cheek

The boy stirred in his sleep without opening his eyes. He wasn't fully awake yet but the hungover was already killing him, it was like someone was attempting to split his skull into two pieces with a thumbtack. Not possible but still pretty darn painful. and annoying. Can't they just go away, don't they have other things to do rather than impaling young gentlemen with office supplies? Who's they? A quiet "what the fuck" left Tyler's mouth with a harsh breath and suddenly he woke up.

The brunet's eyelids fluttered, he tried rubbing off the sleep off his eye and ended up hitting himself in the face. Man, depth perception. Tyler opened both of his eyes fully, slightly confused as to why his little sister woke him up before his alarm went off. It was currently...

"Six in the morning?!" Tyler hissed, his dry tongue falling apart in his mouth

The girl stepped away afraid that Tyler might lash out but her brother wasn't like that. Tyler's frustration was soon replaced by a warm smile. The brunet was still annoyed though, no sane person would step out of the bed so early by their own free will. Heck, Tyler wouldn't budge even if he had a gun pressed against his temple. Go on, shoot. That would just imply that the boy gets even more sleep. Suckers. But this morning had nothing to do with random people stabbing you with a thumbtack or Russian mafia holding you at gunpoint and threatening to kill everyone you love. Well, maybe in a way.

"What the hell, Madison?" Tyler groaned in pain when his eyes landed on the clock again

"There are people at t-the door," Madison whispered so quietly that Tyler had difficulties understanding

Tyler's face shifted immediately. Madison was upset and no one messed with his little sister. The boy got dressed quickly and rushed out of his room, Madison following him like a shadow.

"What kind of people?" Tyler questioned the girl, his temples glistening with nervous sweat

"T-they said they will kick the door," the little girl clutched Tyler's hand desperately

"Are they dad's gambling friends?"

Tyler was shocked when the girl answered no. It would've been more logical, their dad was an awful gambler and owed a lot of money to a lot of people. It was about time someone came knocking on their door, demanding their money.

They didn't have a peephole in the door, Madison couldn't tell Tyler what the people looked like since she never opened the door to strangers like the good girl she was. Tyler ruffled his sister's hair and knelt down in front of her.

"Hey, whoever they are they are not going to hurt you, 'kay?"

The little girl nodded, her eyes shut at the sound of the front door being kicked. Tyler gritted his teeth, if anyone ever did anything to Madison he would rip their throats out with their teeth and it wasn't even a joke. He would literally come up to the fuckers and twist off their nuts just for looking at Maddie the in wrong way.

Tyler picked his sister up and planted her on the kitchen table. She stared at her big brother with wide eyes, clutching her hands together. Tyler ruffled her hair again and went to answer the door.

"Can I h-"

Smack

Tyler's face went numb for a second before a jolt of pain jabbed the left side of his face. If the boy was a cartoon character he would have stars or little birds flying around his head. Of course, he could also just shake his head vigorously and everything would go back to normal. It was real life and things weren't as easy as everyone wanted them to be.

Tyler licked his lips tasting the sickening sweet metallic taste on his tongue. The boy fell on the ground so quickly that it took him a few seconds to realize that he just got knocked off his feet. The hangover was making everything even worse, the brunet's head rang like an old church bell. He shook his head blinking rapidly, his vision was obscured by his own tears. He didn't cry because it hurt, he cried because he just got smacked over his head so hard that he forgot to breathe.

His head got yanked back, a harsh pulling sensation on his scalp. Hot breathing on his face, disgusting breath. Tyler's nose scrunched up. Steve.

"You know, I was thinking, " the green-haired goblin let go of the boy

"You?" Tyler's palms pushed against the ground, his body desperate to give up. He was bleeding from several places of his face and still managed to be sarcastic "I though that all that illegal porn you've been watching had burned a hole in your noggin."

Steve snickered and pushed Tyler's head into the ground. The floor vibrated with a loud thunk, Madison was crying but Tyler didn't notice that yet.

"I thought, hey, it's fun to just mess around, you know." Steve cracked his knuckles and smiled with his crooked teeth "Stealing shot, breaking into houses just for the shits and giggles.. "

"Right... " Tyler whispered, there was nothing on his mind only the splitting pain in his temples

"When we left you at the priest boy's house I thought that you were going to jail, you know... " Steve clicked his tongue "And I was happy. I said to myself, I'll let him go, the dude's had enough. "

"But? " Tyler lifted his head up just to get pushed down again

"But... " Steve grabbed Madison and yanked her head back in a brute manner "But now I see that not only the priest's boy didn't turn you in, he's all lovey-dovey with you. What's up with that? "

Tyler gritted his teeth, Madison cried loudly, her soft arms being squeezed by Steve's filthy cockroach hands. He was using her as a shield, Tyler knew that. Steve had his sister in his grasp and if Tyler tried to do anything, Maddie would get hurt. So Tyler laid on the floor, a dark puddle slowly spreading underneath the slow dribble of saliva and blood.

"I want my fucking money. " Steve inched closer, Madison whimpering in his grip

Tyler couldn't see Steve's friends but he knew they were in the room. Standing behind him, ready to hold the boy down if he shoved the slightest sign of resistance.

"I don't have it. " Tyler muttered

"Well then... " Steve let go of Madison, the little girl fell down on the floor and crawled under the table. Tyler followed her with sad eyes "I'll just have to beat the shit out of you till you shit gold, Joseph. "

◇◆◇◆

Tyler didn't resist. He was already on the floor and getting up was too much work. Steve got him on his feet anyways, his friends lifted the boy up so that Steve would seem less of a bitch. He had already won the fight, Tyler wasn't resisting. Steve wanted more. It boiled Tyler's blood, he wanted to resist, he wanted to shove Steve's head through the glass window. He wanted to show Steve what he was capable of. Tyler couldn't do that. Not with Madison within the abusers reach.

Punch after punch after punch. Tyler just swallowed his pride and kept his gaze firmly on Madison. He watched as the girl sobbed her eyes out at the sight of her brother being beaten up. She wasn't okay but at least she wasn't bleeding on the floor like Tyler.

Punches were replaced by kicks, no matter how Steve raged Tyler didn't flinch.

"Fucking get up, god damn! " the boy cursed as he slapped Tyler across the face

The brunet just smiled through the blood in his teeth. Smile, that was the weapon. A smile. They hated seeing that. They hated seeing that even after you're spewing your own blood and choking on your tongue you still have the guts to smile.

Slap

It was gonna take more than that to erase the cocky grin gracing Tyler's ruptured lips.

Steve finally got annoying with Tyler's lack of resistance. He spat at the boy before pushing him down and storming out the door.

"We'll be back! " Steve's voice echoed down the hall as he sprinted out of the apartment complex

Tyler spat out the blood clot, the boys tongue grazed over each one of his teeth to make sure they were all in place. The pain was like a buzzing hive, full of wasps. It stung till it got numb to the pain.

Tyler smiled, his body somehow made its way to his bedroom. The brunet grabbed his phone, smirk never leaving his lips.

Madison was safe.

"Hello, 911, what's your emergency?"
