Belladonna's cheeks turned pink. She felt like she was intruding on a special moment. She slowly inched away.
-
"don't feel sorry for panicking, everyone panics." Screech said.
-
"I shouldnt be bothering you with my problems whe yours and Bellas are more important" Myriad said, sounding strangely tired
-
Belladonna stopped when she heard her name. "It's not what happened that matters to me the most now. It's what I do next," she said quietly.
-
"myriad no one's problems are more or less important, all problems are important." Screech said (I actually want to hear more about their backstories because I think I'm focusing way to much on screech)
-
(*points at Myriad* Backstory time!)
-
Not unless you expressly ask him to tell you what happened to him lol)
Myriad looked away, pulling his hood lower over his face -
-
*goat scream*)
-
"Myriad," Belladonna said tentatively. "Would you mind telling us about...you know, only if you want to."
-
"I would like to know too." Screech said.
-
Myriad hesitated and tugged harshly at his hood, looking very uncomfortable before he sighed in resignation. "If you really want to know" he said quietly, curling up against Screech's side. "My dad...wasnt really the greatest person. He spent most of his time drunk, but because he didnt have a job he used me and mom to earn money for his alcohol. He would 'rent' us out to anyone that had the cash, and as long as they brought us back alive he didnt care what they did to us." He said, looking away from the other two in shame. "Nothing really bad happened with me, other then the normal drunken abuse, untill i was about 12. Mom had been brought back really late one night, and she just wouldnt stop crying. Dad kept screaming and getting angry at her, threatening me to get her to shut up. I got scared, and did as he said. Put a pillow over her face and held it there till she stopped breathing. He was pretty pissed when he found out what i did" he continued, his voice starting to shake. "He Violated me for the first time that night, and gave me this tattoo the next day," he pointed at the tattoo on his neck, crying now, "things just got worse after that. He started having me take mothers jobs, and some gang members found out that i had killed mom and started usibg me to help them, when they wernt using me in...other ways" he said before letting out a sick sounding laugh. "Though i guess i should thank them for my resistance to most drugs. Every time i was returned home, dad would scream at me and hurt me, blaming me for everything wrong with his life."
-
Belladonna felt tears pricking at her eyes. "I'm so sorry. I never knew."
-
"I'd kill him if he wasn't already dead." Screech said with anger and sorrow mixing together
-
Myriad started picking at the scabs on his hands, having gone quiet. "It doesnt matter, its over and done with" he said softly, not looking at eather of them
