Colby's POV
My eyes awakened, the sun gleaming against my face, I squinted as it glazed into my eyes. I eventually slid out of my bedsheets onto the cold wooden floors. My sleeves loosened ending to my finger tips, my pants reaching to my ankles. I impulsively rubbed my eyes, stretching my arms outs, I walked into the hallway of my small house, heading to the kitchen.
Once I arrived, I acknowledged all the beer bottles, broken or empty, none full or close too. My gaze reached the man who was to blame for this mess, passed out on the couch, the smell made me sick, and always had. I always thought I would get used to it considering how often I am around this contraband. Fortunately last night was just the beer and not the other stuff..
I smiled when my mom walked in, she was taken by the sight of her household. I looked at her stomach, I noticed It has gotten bigger since the last 2 weeks, I was excited for my new sister, as mom went back to the bedroom upstairs, The low groan coming from the couch distracted me, the grumpy monster let out a roar of orders to my mother.
"Maggie get me another beer!" The cold voice wasn't answered too. I stayed quiet.
"MAGGIE!" he practically screamed. He got off the couch to face me. He grunted.
Thumps from upstairs started getting louder and soon came my mom with it.
"I said give me a fucking beer.." he lowered his voice, sitting down on the couch grabbing his cigarettes, he pulled a lighter from inside his jacket, lighting it. The mist escaped his lips and he was given his beer.
Before mom could walk away, he grabbed her hair, yanking it down to his level, she faced him right in the eyes, she yelped.
"Next time fucking hurry up.. bitch" he let go as she walked away to upstairs, i went to follow her upstairs.
"Colby, where you going?" He growled.
I didn't say a word and just shrugged. This annoyed Dean , he gestured for me to come closer. I knew what happens when I disobey, I reluctantly went over to him.
He took a few puffs before saying..
"Your mother can't listen to a simple instruction can she?" He blew his smoke into my face, I tried not to vomit, I wasn't sure if I was just anxious or if it was from the smoke. Probably a bit of both. I shrugged again, he furrowed his eyebrow.
He grabbed one of my wrists. "Answer me! Don't shrug like a fucking baby you piece of shit" he continued to burn out the cigarette on the upper of my arm, the pain hit as I winced, I pulled away from him in desperation, he let go making me fall to the floor, drops already falling from my face, mom rushed down to see the pain I was in. Dean slowly came my way again, I looked at mom for help, she looked scared, as was I, but she didn't move.
I closed my eyes and took another blow to my side. I let out my painful cries.
"Honey want another beer? Something to eat come sit down.. please!" Mom begged him to leave my side. He was satisfied and went to sit down on one of the kitchen chairs.
"Go upstairs honey.." she pulled me up to my feet, tears still falling down I looked into her eyes.
"For fuck sake hurry up" Dean became impatient quickly. I got upstairs as fast as I could not wanting to be in any more trouble.
I hid in my room, under my blankets crying, the burn stung I tried to fan it down with my hand or blow, nothing worked..

I awoke panting, I looked around my my bedroom remembering Where I am.
"You okay, Colby?" Jarvis spoke.
I caught my breath I nodded, "I'm fine.."
I sighed... I went to the bathroom, I looked at myself in the mirror, I pulled up my sleeve to show my upper arm, the dark-burn marked the spot from the cigarette.
Haven't had those nightmares in a while.. I thought.
I splashed water onto my face to freshen up.
