David's POV:

A whole month had passed since Daniel was discharged from the hospital and he's bubbly attitude became really obvious. He eat more than usual and even flirted with me. it was all.... surprising.

He was laying on me now with his head on my chest and arms around me.

'Daniel', I said wanting to talk to him about something. He hummed. 'Sit up. I need to ask you something'. He sat up with a frown on his face.

'What happened', he asked clearly not happy that I told him to sit up.

'Hey don't frown I just wanna ask you something'. He smiled.

'Okay, go on'.

'You know your uncle is in jail now and the court day is this week'. At the mention of his uncle he tensed up. it was strange. One minute he's happy one you mention his uncle he tenses up and starts shaking. I rubbed circles in his palm and he calmed down. 'What did he do to you?', I blurted out. He let go of me and faced the other side not wanting to look at me.

'I don't want to talk about it'.

'But I want to help you Daniel. Don't you trust me?'.

'I do but...', I saw a tear slip from his eyes so I pulled him closer, 'I don't know how to tell ya'.

'Start from where ever you want', I said.

'It started when I was 5 years old', he hesitate before continuing, 'he would take me to his room when everyone had gone and...', he stopped and took a deep breathe, 'he would make me suck him off'.

I was shocked. What evil person would do that do their own family.

'He would also touch me and rape me. Everyday he would tell me he does this because I'm a pretty faggot'.I hugged him and he cried more into my shoulder.

'It's okay. It's fine now. He won't touch you anymore'. I whispered to him.
