Schlatt's POV (btw this is when he was a kid-)

"Mama..? You called?" I walked into the bathroom, the tub was filled.

"Yes, hun, come sit next to mommy.!"
I made my way next to her.

"Look at me." She said more stern than normal. I turned to her. . . . She smacked me, chuckling a bit as a fell back.

I touched my cheek, it was bleeding a bit from her ring.

I looked at her in horror, as she pulled me up by my hair. She smacked me over and over, it burned. All I could see was a blurry image of her face.

She set me down and sat again. Patting the spot next to her, I was too scared to see what would happen if I didn't go so I did.
I looked down, there was blood on her hand and the floor. 

"Now, honey. I want you to put your hand on the bath. Like this.." She dementrated.

I nodded and did as told. It was uncomfortable, but it would be best to keep it to myself.

"Good boy.." I gulped.

Before I could even blink her hand was gripping my hair and my face was in the water. 
I struggled, flailing my arms but she held them down. Tears somehow filled my eyes, even though I was underwater. 

Why is she doing this? I thought she loved me? Was it all a lie? I'm too young to die..

My lungs burned, my throat itched. Everything was blurry and bright white. It was hard to keep my eyes open. 

I threw my leg back and somehow kicked her in the crotch. I ran to the door, soaking wet. I tried to open the door but I couldn't, it was locked. 

"M-mama.. Please! I'm sorry. I don't wanna die!"

"Sh-sh-sh, baby.. It'll all be over soon." A smile creeped to her face.

She grabbed me by my sleeve, her smile progressively getting bigger.

I was shaken awake, I looked to my side and saw Carson. "Why the hell did you wake me?"

"What do you mean 'why did I wake you?' You were tossing and turning saying "Mama. Please! I'm sorry. I don't wanna die!'"

"It was just a nightmare.."

He sighed, and walked out. "Be downstairs in 10 minutes."

'That.. Moment keeps replaying in my head. It was 10 years ago! I should be over it! And plus, she's in jail.'
