Tw- child abuse and verbal abuse

I woke up to see Mikey already up, sitting, watching Y/n, and her guy as they still slept. Creepy creep...

"Gee, wh-what am I g-gonna do? It's all my fault I lost her. I never should've taken that stupid path!" He threw a rock in the water as hard as he could. I couldn't see his face since he was facing the lake, I walked over to get a better look and sat next to him. The horns are gone, that's good...

"I don't know..." I answered honestly. He looked at me with his glossy and puffy red eyes. I hugged him as he cried more. I looked up to see Y/n and mystery boy had awoken. After a few minutes Mikey's cries stopped and we got up from the grass.

"We should probably head over there." I told my heartbroken little brother. He just nodded. We walked to the spot we had been that night except we didn't stop at the bush, we kept walking towards the two.

She was sitting in the grass beside her boy, with her head rested on his shoulder. She looked up and smiled at us.

"Mikey! Gee! You're okay!" She jumped up and gave each of us a short hug.

"It's good to see you're okay as well, sugar." Mikey stayed silent as he stared at his shoes.

"Oh, boys this is Ryan," She gestured over to the messy brown hair, brown eyed boy, "Ryan, this is Mikey," She pointed to Mikey, then pointed to me, "And Gerard."

He nodded, giving us each a short smile along with a little,"Hi" I could feel Mikey's anger and jealousy radiating off of him.

"We should probably get going." She grabbed Ryan's hand and continued down the path. Mikey and I stayed a few feet behind them. Mikey might explode any second...

I looked over at my brother, his horns growing slowly, his eyes rapidly changing from hazel to yellow, back and forth.

"Mikey, calm down." I said, worried.

He spit a black acidic type substance into the side of the path, burning a mark into the grass, "I'm fine." His voice getting deeper as he twitched his face and hands.

"Clearly, you're not fine." His eyes darted back and forth from Y/n, to Ryan, then to their hands. She glanced back at us, Mikey quickly hid his face behind his hands and hair. He clearly didn't want her to see him like this. She moved her gaze back up to Ryan and laughed.

This is awful, I hate this so much... why can't this Ryan guy just leave!? It's not like we already had a good group without him... Mikey looks terrible, what are we going to do? He's getting worse by the second...

She glanced back at us again, "Are you guys hungry?" Mikey hid himself.

"Yeah, sugar." She smiled and threw us each a sandwich and immediately went back to talking with Ryan. Mikey uncovered his face and spat again.

"Mikey, maybe you should tell her what's going on with you, I mean, she might be able to help."

"No, I can't let her see me like this." He took a bite of the sandwich, he opened his mouth to take another bite to reveal fangs slowly growing.

"Mikey, you've got fangs growing! Your eyes are turning yellow! You've got antlers! You're spitting out acid! I don't know if you can tell, but that's not normal!"

"I don't know if you can tell Gee, but this whole place isn't normal! We've been wandering this forest for days as if it's normal, but I got news for you! It's not normal! When are we gonna quit pretending!?"

He was furious, not necessarily at me, but just in general. I hoped. Y/n and Ryan had stopped walking and turned to see what was going on.

"I should be at home! Reading the new fangoria issue and hanging out with the guys! But no, I'm here. Frank and Ray probably think we're dead or something! And who's fault is that? Yours, Gerard! You're the one that dragged me to that stupid party! We just had to go! Well look where that got us, Gee! In this stupid forest that makes no sense! And it'll probably kill us!"

Y/n ran over to him as he spoke, putting a hand on his arm to calm him but he only shrugged it off, "Mikey, calm down." She spoke with a soft voice. He looked her in the eyes, he's gonna kill her oh god...

"And you! I don't even know what to say to you! I-" He just broke down right then and there. He fell to his knees as the, now two feet long goat horns began to sink back into his skin.

She dove down to his level and hugged him warmly. I crouched down as well and told him we'd be okay, over and over again. Ryan just stood there awkwardly as Mikey sobbed into her shoulder.

"Um... I think I'm gonna go now." Ryan began to turn back around, but Y/n got up and ran to him. She pulled on his arm causing him to turn back around.

"What!? You can't just leave! I thought we were..."

"You thought what? I was gonna be your Prince charming and whisk you off your feet to my magical castle and live happily ever after?" He smirked, "Look darling, I've been to many parts of this awful forest and I've been with many lovely ladies like yourself. I'm just not feeling it anymore." He began to walk away, pulling his arm out of Y/n's grip.

"Oh, and I think your friend might need some help or something, he's crazy." And with that, he was gone. It's as if he was never here at all.

Y/n's pov

How did I get my heart broken twice in one week? I really thought Ryan was something... I thought we'd be together for a little longer...

This time, I was on my knees as the tears streamed down my cheeks as I watched, who I thought to be my love, walk away until he completely disappeared into the trees. I didn't even realize someone had snaked their arms around me until I felt Mikey's own tears stain my sweater. I hugged back as I sobbed into his chest. Maybe I just don't deserve love...

Gerard walked over, "Are you guys gonna be okay?" He bent down to our level.

I nodded and Mikey let out a quiet, "Y-yeah" I didn't want the hug to end, his chest was so comforting and warm. But I let go anyways, Mikey and I got up. He wiped a few tears away.

"We're gonna be okay." He smiled sadly. He grabbed my hand as we continued our adventure through the forest with Gerard close behind. As we walked I began to think of the events that had just happened, what the fuck is up with Mikey having horns and shit!?

"Uh Mikey?" He turned his gaze towards me, "What's with you having horns and shit?" His eyes went wide.

"Um...uh I-I honestly don't know," There was an awkward silence for a few moments, but he soon began to speak again, "Y-you weren't supposed to see that." He moved his gaze back to the ground.

"That's been happening to him a lot lately. We aren't sure what it is. I think he's been possessed or something," Gerard chimed as he walked beside me, "I was hoping you might be of some help, but Mikey refused to tell you so..."

"Honestly, I've never seen anything like that before. I've seen a lot of things here, but I'm no expert. I really only know a little bit about this place." I looked down at the ground.

"That's alright, we'll figure it out eventually." He chuckled. It began to get dark, just as we found a large field of grass.

I let go of Mikey's hand as I walked towards it and sat down in the grassy area. I laid back just as Mikey and Gee sat beside me. I fell asleep as I watched the sky become darker and the stars come out.

I had a dream, but it was more like a memory. I was sitting in my room, on the window sill drawing. My room is fairly small, my bed was up against the wall with a window on it, a small closet in the corner, and a night stand beside my bed with books and drawing things stacked on top.

My mother was out, so the house was quiet. Then I heard the jiggling of keys, my head shot up. I jumped off the window sill, closing and locking my door before I hid under my bed. Please no... for once please...

"Sweetheart, I'm home!" She slurred, tears quietly ran down my cheeks. She tried to open my door, but unfortunately for her, I locked it, "Come on Y/n, I know you're in there, you can't just stay in there forever." Maybe I'll get lucky... maybe she'll fall asleep... maybe for once she won't hurt me...

After a few minutes of her trying to get me out, she gave up. I watched her shadow from under the door walk away. I waited a moment before getting up and opening the door. As I stepped out a hand went over my mouth.

"And to think, I almost walked away!" I began to sob as she dragged me to the kitchen. I fell to my knees as she grabbed the spatula and started to hit me with it. I just cried as she yelled and hit me. She's right, I'm a terrible daughter... I'm the reason dad left... I'm the reason she drinks... it's all me...

She slapped me across the face with her hand, leaving a red mark.

"You're the reason I can't get a good man! You're why my life fell apart!" She yelled. Finally, she kicked me, "You better have this cleaned up and dinner ready soon!" She just walked to her bedroom to do god knows what. I just sat there and cried for about ten more minutes before I made myself get up and go to the bathroom.

I closed and locked the door behind me, inspecting my bloody face and bruised body in the mirror. I put peroxide on the cuts and covered them each, carefully with band aids. Once I finished I sobbed into the sink. Everything began to fade as I woke up to Mikey, looking at me, worried as hell.

"Y/n, are you okay!? You screamed and cried in your sleep." I sat up as Mikey wiped a few tears away. I smiled and nodded, I don't need to spill all my trauma onto him...

He very clearly didn't believe that I was okay, because he gave me a tight hug, "Mikey, I'm okay, I promise." I reassured him, hugging back.

"I know, I'm just, worried about you." He pulled away and moved a strand of hair out of my face.

"Aww, I'm sorry to interrupt, but we should get going, lovebirds." Gerard teased, walking towards us. I felt my face turn red as I watched Mikey's do the same. Ah shit, here we go again...

Gerard started on the path again, with Mikey and I close behind. I've been trying my hardest to push all thoughts of mother away ever since I found these boys, why are they coming back to haunt me now?
