I want to live

Chapter 7

The drive was silent, with only the sound of passing cars and radio. Elijah felt smaller than he already was. "I'm sorry about lying to you. ItwasbecauseIwasafraidandIdidn'ttrustyouyet I'm SO sorry!" He blurted out and clenched his eyes tightly, but the other didn't seem fazed by it at all, he just kept looking at the road.

"It's fine." Elijah looked up to see the driver smile a bit. "I would've done the same in your shoes. So, don't worry so much." He said it as if it was nothing

But he would never know how happy that made Elijah, Jackson forgave him for something so horrible. Elijah smiled a bit to himself as he looked forward at the road.

Jackson hadn't told him where they were going, but he instantly yanked Elijah with him after telling him his real name and after he got a good look at all the bruises. So, Elijah kind of knew where they were going.

"Welcome to Seoul Hospital, how may I help you," a young woman at the front desk kindly asked as she bowed. "Oh, Mr. Duncan! Happy to see you, are you looking for the doctor?" as she noticed Elijah, she instantly has a smile mixed with happiness and sorrow. Properly both, since it was kind of sad that the fact that he was often at the hospital was brought to light as the desk woman could easily recognize him.

"Yeah... Just say I'm here, because of the usual," Now the smile on the female's face really became sad. "Elijah..." He gave her a reassuring smile and walked away to one of the waiting chairs. She sighed and began typing on her computer.

All this was going on while Jackson was standing dumbfounded and looked as it happens. He walked over and sat beside Elijah. "You two know each other?" He gave Elijah a nudge to make sure he was listening.

"Yeah~ You can say that I come here quite often, so it's natural for her to recognize me," He continued to look around.

"Hello Elijah-ah" a kind-looking man came towards them and bowed towards Elijah and thereafter Jackson. "So, what kind of trouble have you brought upon yourself this time?" He smiled a bit.

"Sorry doc, it wasn't my choice this time, this here is Jackson, he took me here." Elijah bowed back and pointed towards Jackson.

"Okay, so Jackson-ah, can you explain to me why you have brought Elijah to the hospital."

"I want to make sure his body is okay after all the bruises he has," Jackson was quite blunt about what he wants, and Elijah was pretty shocked that he just blurted that out.

"It happened again?" The elder looked at Elijah and the questioned male looked at the ground slowing nodding. "Gezz~ Elijah what am I going to do with you," The doctor sighed but nevertheless showed them to an examination room.

"You can go home now Jackson, I'm grateful for what you've done for me but it's not right for me to take from you anymore, plus it's late, I don't know if you have to go, but it's a school day tomorrow, and it's not right for me to take from you anymore."

After some arguing back and forth for a whooole five minutes, Jackson was finally withdrawing, leaving Elijah alone in the room with the doctor. "Are you sure you want him to just leave like that?" The doctor looked at Elijah, himself knowing the whole story, he was genuinely worried about the boy.

"I don't want to sully him any more than what I already have, he doesn't deserve that..." The younger looking away and taking his shirt over his head and laying down on the cold table, closing his eyes, going to sleep, since he knew he wouldn't be getting any time soon.

Useless

Why are you here?!

Just die!

a failure of a human being

incompetent

disappointment

What is your reason for living anymore Elijah~ Dear?

Can't you see?! Nobody needs you in this world. You know where to go if you want to see him again right? Just follow my voice, he will make all the pain go away. ~

The soothing voice was back, its scared Elijah as much as it calmed him, the voice was almost lik-- NO! He's gone... forget him... "I miss you... so much..." he curled into a ball not bothered by the fact that the doctor might still be there.

After the examination was done and the doctor giving Elijah some mediation for his pain and giving him advice on how to make the bruises go away quicker, he younger made his way home. But remembered something as he did.

Luke was said he was coming over earlier before he went to work...

Elijah was pacing up and down the streets of his neighborhood finally coming to like the idea of blowing off some steam for himself, so going to the dance studio was his best shot, plus he wanted to avoid a certain someone...

He made up his mind and made his way towards the Greendale Studios dance studio, he knew the CEO there and he was free to go there if he didn't interrupt the bands that were there if there were any.

And, on the condition that he would sometimes help with the songs and lyrics if he wanted to, of course getting paid for it.

He got to the studio and to his luck, No one was there, he dropped the plastic bag with his medicines on a chair and stood in the middle of the room.

And began moving his body to the music that would only be heard in his own head, he made the song himself, the lyrics, the beat, and the flow. But he never gave it to anyone...

He quietly sang the lyrics thinking he was alone

He was not...

A silhouette was at the door, the name of this shadow was none other than...

Park Tyler, a known dancer in Greendale Studios as he would sometimes come and teach the Rockies with Leo and Jonathan. But he never expected to stumble upon Elijah...

„He's amazing... his deep voice when his singing voice was able to be heard was amazing. I don't know who this guy is, but he sure knows how to sing and dance„

Tyler didn't realize he was staring until a guy threw the door open making the dancer fall on his ass, making eye-contact with the owner of this ruthless entering.

"Luke!" He tried to get away, but the guy grabbed his foot and dragged him closer.

"Babe~ What did I tell you about being called into work~?" He hovered over the smaller.

"T-That I n-need to tell y-you..." Elijah felt smaller than he already was...

Tyler now in a state of sadness and worry for the boy at the same time.

Sadness because he could see the fear in his eyes.

Worry because there was a reason behind the fear.

The man known to Tyler only as 'Luke' grabbed the still unknown boy by the chin making him look up at him. "You need a punishment~"

"N-No! Please don't, Luke—!" Elijah couldn't even finish his sentence before he was backhanded by him.

"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME YOU SLUT!?" He yelled angrily and the now sobbing boy touched his check. „why did he have to have so many rings on?!„

"Sir~ I'm sorry, please forgive me~" Elijah was on his knees but was gripping at 'Luke's' shirt like it was his last chance to live.

And Elijah knew that it sure as hell could be...

Luke smacked him again and before he touched the ground, he kicked him in the stomach making him cough and fly across the floor a little bit. The now smirking male went over to him and kneeled down. "Bad boys like you deserve it, no... you don't 'deserve' anything, you're a worthless piece of s**t, and you know this, you also know that I'm the only reason you're still alive!" He grabbed the crying boy's hair and lifted his head up, the rest of his body still limp on the floor.

"You can run away but you will realize... You can never live without me Elijah~" he pecked the boy's cheek in as to dry away his tears.
