When Roger threw Sean to the ground, he suddenly snapped out of his strange daze. "D-...J-Jack..." he whispered fearfully. He hurriedly got up, the glass stinging him. When he got up, he only made more of a mess, sending the shards further around.
He looked up at Roger fearfully, eyes no longer dark but their bright blue once more. "What..." he whispered, rubbing his head slightly.

"D-...J-Jack... What..." Roger shook his head, removing his belt. "No time to act like an air head now."
Jack shut his door to his room, rifling through his old things in an effort to calm himself. He heard his father start to beat Sean downstairs and he shook his head, sitting on his bed heavily. "Sean, why're you being such a thingy," he yelled suddenly, chucking an old sneaker at the wall. "f***! I'm trying to help you and you're making it so. Hard!" He screamed, kicking his feet on the ground.

Sean screamed in pain, curling on the floor as he was whipped repeatedly. He cried and screamed for help, shaking on the floor as his father struck his previous bruises.
"Jack!" he suddenly screamed, covering his eyes fearfully. He got up and ran to the stairs, hurriedly trying to unlock the door so he could run out. His rebellious act had cost his dad thousands of dollars.

"Jack!"
"No," Jack growled, tangling shakey hands in his hair. "No, f*** you. f*** you, f*** you, f*** you..." He sat on his bed and jittered nervously. He rubbed his eyes and realized he had forgotten his medicines back in his trunk at school. And of course. He hadn't been expecting this sudden reunion. He'd been trying to bring Sean back.
"I have to get out of here," he muttered, standing up. "I don't care what you do, I have to get out... Too late..." He tried opening the windows but Roger had nailed them shut day one. He remembered because they had been there when he was a boy of about five and had learned to count by using them. "nuts," he muttered, really starting to freak out. "nuts..."

Sean made his way up the stairs, sharply opened the door and tried to run out, body bleeding. Martha turned the corner and grabbed Sean, literally pushing him back down the stairs. She went down, wanting to make sure that Sean received his punishment.
She shut the door behind her and left the top floor unguarded, the front door right next to the kitchen. Sean cried and screamed harshly as Martha helped with the punishment.

Roger stopped and went back upstairs, lighting up another cigarette. He got in the van and swerved off, going out to get more supplies for them.
Jack had given up on getting out of his room and just stayed there, fuming silently. He wiped at his eyes and tried to figure out why he was so upset, though he felt it was pretty obvious as to why. Hesitantly he stood up and walked downstairs, not looking at the front door as he did. He shoved his hands in his pockets and walked down to the basement, looking at his feet.

Martha had gone up the stairs, making supper just for herself. Sean was still curled in the basement though, shaking a bit. He lay on the ground amongst all the shards of glass and chemicals, coughing.
His previously healing wounds were not reopened and bleeding worse than before. He had a deep black eye and bruised cheeks. He groaned a bit, trying to get up. He looked like an injured deer, struggling to get up off of the floor.

Jack looked down at his brother expressionlessly, wondering what he was going to say in a situation that continually repeated itself. Suddenly, he knew.
"I'm leaving," he told him firmly. "Because I don't want to live like this anymore. And this time I'm the one that's not coming back. Everytime you come back to school you're far worse off than this. And I've tried so f**k**g hard to get you to see that this, all of this, is never going to change. There's never been a, 'Wow, Jack, thanks for caring.' You never even seem to care when I make my own sacrifices for you in order to help you." He wasn't yelling at him, still speaking calmly but firmly. "And this time even you seemed to ignore me altogether. Because you're tired of being beat up and when you're seriously hurting, you go to a dark place. Don't think I don't know you. I'd like some f**k**g recognition once in a while, Sean. But if you want to ride this merry-go-round, you go ahead and ride it."
He held his hand out towards him, looking into his eyes seriously. "Or you can come with me. And we can get you a better place to be, whether it's with me or not. Last offer, and I mean it."

Sean was shaking a bit and he lowered his head. "I-I didn't want you to come back here..." he whispered sadly. "B-...I am greatful, but you can't help those who can't help themselves." he whispered.
"I need help...Cause I don't want to live anymore." he suddenly said, staring off. "And I did not want you to follow as I tried to fulfill that request..." he said even darker. He rocked himself back and forth.

Cry me a f**k**g river, Jack thought bitterly, his hand still extended. "If you wanted to live like this you wouldn't scream for me everytime you get flogged," Jack said evenly. "Are you coming or not? Because if you aren't, then I'm going. And you probably won't see me again if so, which I think would be pretty ungrateful of you after all we've done for each other." His index finger twitched, beckoning him. "Just tell me: are you coming or not."

Sean twitched, watching his older brother like this. He slowly took Jack's hand and nodded. He bit his lip, "M-Mom is a witch..." he slowly whispered. "I thought she was a muggle..but she's a witch. She took my wand." he whispered nervously, not wanting her to hear.
There was a strange creak right at the top of the stairs and he panicked, stepping back a little.

Jack was openly relieved when Sean took his hand. He helped him up and steadied him on his feet, brushing him off gently to not irritate his bruises. "M-Mom is a witch... I thought she was a muggle..but she's a witch. She took my wand."
"That's the least of our problems. I'm sure they'll give you a new one or something." Jack heard a creak and looked out of the corner of his eye, slowly reaching for his own wand in his back pocket. He often forgot it was there but he was glad he had it now. He took it out slowly and muttered a quick spell to transfer them away from this horrible place, in no mood for another showdown with his parents and making sure to hold Sean's hand tightly so he came with him. They weren't supposed to use magic outside of school obviously, but Jack didn't care if he was expelled from Hogwarts if it meant getting out of there at that moment.
He opened his eyes and sighed softly when he saw Pendleton Park, dropping his brother's hand.

Sean had clung onto Jack when they were apparated through. He tumbled to the ground of Pendleton Park when all stopped. He rubbed his head hurriedly, the spell taking a lot out of him since he was young.
"J-Jack...Why did you do that?!" he yelped, realizing the consequences his brother would face. "What if you get expelled?" he asked shakily. He stood up, wincing from his wounds. Now in the sunlight, all of his injuries were revealed.

Jack closed his eyes, breathing in the park air deeply. He cleansed his lungs from the awful chemical smell, clearing his throat. "J-Jack...Why did you do that?! What if you get expelled?"
"What do you mean why did I do that," he asked him, brow furrowed. He looked up at him like he'd seen him for the first time. "You don't think they'd just let us walk out the door, do you? I had to get us out of there."

Sean shivered and winced, the chemicals still burning the wounds on his body. He suddenly started to sway, the chemicals too much for him to handle. They had seeped through the wounds and into his blood stream.
His body shivered immensely and he lowered his head, holding it heavily. He chattered something before he suddenly swayed sideways onto the grass, holding himself and shivering.
