Forgive us

"Macey" Johan called as he watched Macey run from the room. He looked at the man who was her father and her brothers in disgust. How could people do that to others let alone to family? Fathers are supposed to love and protect their children not hurt them and want to rape them. Asher looked to his brothers and then along with Johan ran off after Macey.

Macey ran to the nearest bin and began to bring up her breakfast. A nurse who had gone into the room to do a set of obs on Peter had heard everything that was said and wanted to check on the girl. She saw Macey vomiting and grabbed a vomit bag before handing it to her. Johan moved towards Macey and held Macey's hair back for her and rubbed her back. He was shocked to have heard some of what her father and brothers did to her.

Tyler and Diesel were shocked. They were used to hurt Macey by their father as a way to get back at their dead mother. How sick was this man in the head? How sick were they to actually do it? Macey was 8 years old when Diesel first hurt his sister, his father had encouraged it and said he was not a man unless he knew how to control a woman.

Tyler hung his head in shame. He knew hurting his sister was wrong and yet when he was drinking with his father, his father would encourage it. Tyler would hurt Macey to please his father and then would hate himself for doing it. He had no idea his father was using him to hurt their mother. He was horrified that his father had hurt his mother and that she had allowed it to keep Macey safe. He had always assumed that they were a loving couple. He couldn't remember a time when he saw his father put his hands on his mother but he did remember seeing some bruises and his mother brushing it off as an accident.

Peter was lying in bed shocked his once docile wife who he controlled with his fists, had spoken to him like that. "Find me that little bitch Macey" Peter called out. "What?" Tyler asked. "You heard, find the little bitch. She will pay for her mother's sins again. I will break her fully this time before taking her life in front of my wife" Peter spat out. Diesel said nothing, he just watched on. Tyler stood wanting nothing more than to kill his father for what he just said. "I'm glad you are dying. You are scum" Tyler yelled at the man he once considered his father before leaving the room to see if he could find Macey. He wanted to see if she was ok.

Diesel stayed in the room watching his father struggle to breathe. "Diesel, you understand, women need to be controlled. The best way to control them is with your fists. It's fast and effective. They soon learn" Peter struggled to say. Diesel stayed quiet, he was just like his father. He too had hurt his girlfriend after Macey had taken off. She had left him after he assaulted her the first time. She hadn't cared when he hurt Macey though. He saw his father lying in the bed alone, none of his children comforting him as he was dying. Did he want to be like that?

"Diesel, your mum was so scared of me that even when I fucked other women in front of her, she did nothing. That's the control you want on your woman. Mark my words son" Peter said. "Diesel the letters your mother wrote you, they are hidden at the house in that little bitches room. Get them and destroy them for me" Peter continued before going back to sleep.

Macey had stopped vomiting and slowly slid down the wall bringing her knees up to her face. She couldn't believe what that man had said. It wasn't enough with the scars he left but he wanted to rape his own daughter? What kind of sick fuck was he? She was shaking uncontrollably and couldn't focus on anything around her. The words were on replay in her head over and over. She had tears running down her face and didn't even realise it.

Johan crouched down in front of her putting his hand on her cheek to try and get her attention. "Macey, Macey" Johan called out. Asher and Tyler both had attempted to go to their sister but Johan kept them back not wanting to cause Macey more trauma. He couldn't believe what he heard. Here was this young woman who had been alone basically since she was a kid and had to leave home for safety reasons. He was glad she had run when she did because her father had confessed to wanting to rape her. He also got her brothers involved with the physical abuse to punish a woman who died.

Asher and Tyler stared at their sister. Asher wanted nothing more than to go and scoop up his baby sister and tell her he would protect her. He wanted to turn back time and make it right but he knew he couldn't. Tyler wanted to go and apologise, Johan had stopped him twice from going near Macey. He was angry with Johan but also thankful Macey had someone on her side.

Diesel walked out seeing his sister in the ground with her friend trying to get her attention. "Asher, Dad said there are letters for us in Macey's old room. He wants me to destroy them" Diesel whispered to his brother. Asher looked at Diesel, "I'll get them later I just need to make sure Macey is ok" Asher replied. "What about dad?" Diesel asked. They were supposed to spend his final days sitting with him so he wouldn't die alone. "That bastard can die alone, I want nothing to do with him" Tyler spat out shocking Diesel as he didn't think he was listening in to the conversation. Asher nodded in agreement, he wanted nothing to do with that man anymore. He was glad he was dying now because he couldn't stand knowing the pain that they had all caused Macey. After all, their father wanted revenge against a dead woman.
