Sketch

"I warned you but you didn't listen," Cal Dillon barked as he loomed over my barely breathing body. "You had to go there, didn’t you? You couldn’t leave well enough alone. You kept sniffing around. Touching what wasn’t yours to touch."

"It's not like that," I tried to argue, but another blow to my face had my vision blurring and my mouth filling with blood.

"You will end this farce," Cal roared. "You will finish it with Romi or so help me God, I'll ship her off to a boarding school in Europe and you'll never see her again."

"I love her," I strangled out, wincing when I felt another rib crack. "And she loves me."

"She'll get over it," he sneered, kicking me harder. "As for you? Well, you can do whatever the fuck you want – as long as it's far away from Romi!"

Grunting out in pain, I tried to curl up in a ball to protect my stomach, but two of his heavies held me down, keeping my core exposed and vulnerable to their boss's ferocious onslaught.

"You're nothing, boy," Cal continued, riffling through my wallet like it was his personal property. "Never were. A fucking headcase. You're not good enough to breathe the same air as –" His words trailed off when he snatched the condom out of my wallet. "Have you touched her?" he seethed, face turning a dark shade of red. "Have you fucked my daughter?"

No, I hadn't, but I still refused to answer. What I did or didn’t do with Romi was private. The fact that we had planned to lose our virginities to each other just a few short hours ago felt like a lifetime ago now. She was probably waiting in her room for me right now, confused and worried when I didn’t show. Guilt churned inside of me at the thought.

"Answer me, dammit!" her father roared, kicking me again.

I didn’t answer him.

Spluttering out a mouthful of blood, I glanced up through swollen eyes at my father who was standing off to one-side. His lack of action didn’t surprise me. Nothing surprised me when it came to these people. The man didn’t love me. He didn’t hate me like Mama did, but he wasn't about to jump to my defense, not when it meant going against his best friend.

In a sick way, I understood my father. I had no doubt that I would let him burn at the stake for my best friend.

I, too, would choose my best friend over him every single time.

Too bad my best friend also happened to be the daughter of the man beating me.

Loyalty was a strange thing…

Furious with my lack of response, Cal kicked me again, and then again and again, harder and harder with every slam of his boot.

"Alright, that's enough, Cal," my father finally intervened, sliding his hands into the pockets of his tailored suit pants. "Holden has learned his lesson." Shrugging, he added, "I'm sure my son has received the message loud and clear."

"Holden," Cal sneered, like my name was some big joke to him.
