Broken Wings

Archer Bennett Kish. 18 years on this planet. I just wanna fly away.

Gracelynn followed her brother inside and to his room to help him get settled and to check his body for any injuries she hadn’t seen. “Oh my god, Archie.” She said catching sight of his abdomen. Their father had gone too far this time. She was surprised her brother was even moving after this fight. “We are packing bags and leaving to go the McCoy house.” She knew Glory from high school and the red head had told her any time she needed help it would be given to her. “Me and Glory are old friends from school I have no worries we will be protected while there.”

With everything still running through his body he hadn’t noticed how bad his body was bruised until he saw his sister’s face. “Are you sure we will be welcomed and safe?” He questioned her having doubt that they could possibly be safe anywhere. He never doubted his sister but this seemed rushed and it caused him some anxiety. But before she could even answer to ease his worries he went to go take his shower. He hurriedly took his shower so that he could pack up his life and flee with his sister.

Grace eased her embrace slightly when she heard him. She knew what she had to do now but it would be a long process and it didn’t guarantee that things would be different but at least he would have a shot at real love. “Come on lets go get you cleaned up and ready for bed.” She knew thats what he needed and after she helped him she would get on and research how to become his guardian.

[arch-kish]

Archer just nodded at his sisters words as he knew she was right. She was always right and had never gave up on him. “Gracie, thanks for always being here.” He didn’t say it enough but he hoped she truly knew how much he appreciated her being there for him for everything. He let go of her and started walking to the house and up to the bathroom to take a shower. Once inside he started taking off his shirt and throwing it haphazardly on his bedroom floor.

“She’s more than just my sister she’s more of a mother to me than our mother ever was. You take her away from me I have nothing and I’ll be dead within a week..not because I can’t take care of myself but because the man who is supposed to be my protector is my abuser. There I said it and yes maybe sometimes I deserve my punishment but I think, your honor, I also deserve love and he doesn’t do that not like Gracelynn has done my entire life. Every award ceremony every sport event I’ve ever been in whether I got anything or not she was right there cheering me on while he was getting drunk or while our mother was packing her bags to leave. So please let me have the one person I’ve always been able to count on.” - Archer Bennett Kish on the matter of Gracelynn being his guardian for the rest of his life.

[gracelandxkish]

Grace’s body tensed as the teen said what he wanted to do to their father. I mean a part of her couldn’t blame him especially the way the man treated him. “Archie.” She said with a low sigh, she knew the boy could never bring himself to do it no matter how many fights the two got into. “Let me figure something out and we’ll go together,Archer. “ She didn’t want him to be alone while she knew he could take of himself he shouldn’t have to.” She pulled him in an embrace. “We do things together always , Archer Bennett.”

[arch-kish]

Archer swallowed the lump in his throat as he heard his sisters words. “O-okay,Gracie.” He groaned lightly as she pulled him into an embrace but he wasn’t going to stop her from doing what she always did when he needed it. “Ow.” Was all he said still in the embrace.

sooner than later

Gracelynn had just gotten home from her shift to find Archer laying in their front yard. Clearly drunk in pain and crying. “Oh Archie.” she said as she knelt down beside him looking him over. “How did this one start?” She questioned him already knowing that a part of it was about their mother. She chewed on the inside of her lip as she gave him a hand up off the ground. She knew she needed to think of something to help him sooner rather than later.

[arch-kish]

Archer looked to his sister when he heard her tears still in his eyes. “I had detention. But it’s dad so you name it I did it.” He groaned as she helped him up. “I wanted to kill him, Gracie, but I couldn’t.” He clenched his jaw again at the thought of it. “He knew I couldn’t do it. Gracie, I-I c-can’t be here anymore. One of these days it is gonna end badly.” He didn’t want to leave her she was one of the good things in his life but a part of him knew she would be okay.

Another night and another fight

Setting: Kish House(around 7 pm)

Summary: Archer had a few drinks to relax on a Friday night after a rough week at school.

Possible Triggers: violence, foul language, death threats, underage drinking

Archer knew he should’ve stopped as soon as he heard his father’s fist make contact to his cheek but the teen was just as intoxicated as his father was and Grace wasn’t home to stop the two from going at it. It started with Archer getting a detention for being late to class for the third day in a row and had somehow ended up being about how he was just like his mother and that’s why he was now in the middle of the biggest fight he has had with his father to date. “I’m nothing like either of you. But we do share one thing in common and that’s we both hate your guts.” He yelled and it earned him a punch to the gut. “You think you are so tough, Archer Kish, but who has to save you when you open your big mouth?” At this Archer lunged forward knocking his dad on his back which resulted in him flipping the teen over so he was on top of him. “You can’t do anything right. You know that’s what you get from her.” Archer tried with his whole body to push his father off of him but the alcohol running through his veins was slowing his reaction time. He was losing his stamina which caused his father to laugh at him. “See? Just like your goddam mother.” He smacked his sons face before getting up and walking away like nothing had happened but Archer wasn’t done yet. “You bastard.” He yelled getting up from the floor and knocking his father out the screen porch. “I wanna kill you so bad,” he clenched his jaw looking down at the man who was supposed to protect him not punish him for something he couldn’t even control. “I really want to.” He said tears now forming in his eyes but his father took this as sign of weakness and knocked the boy right off and on to his back knocking the wind out of him. “You can’t because you are a weak piece of shit, Archer Bennett Kish, just like your mother was.” He leaned down and spit in the teens face. When Archer finally regained his breath he laid there and cried until Gracelynn got home.

Gracelynn looked her brother in his eyes before pulling him into a hug. She hated that he felt unsafe she needed to figure out a way to get him safe. “Hey, of course you can. Archie, I’m gonna think of something, okay?” She told him chewing on the inside of her lip slightly.

[arch-kish]

Archer hated to admit that he was weak it was one thing he tried not to show. “Gracie.” He managed to get out before the tears started to choke him. He knew they needed to do something but how could he when he couldn’t even stand up to the man? Maybe he would be better off as a teenage runaway he was sure Gracelynn would be better off.

[gracelandxkish]

Gracelynn hated that her brother spoke before thinking especially towards their father. He had always been harsh with Archer but things took a turn for the worse when their mother left. “Arch, you have to stop doing it. You know what he is like he’s always on edge since mom.” She licked her lips slightly as she gently cleaned her brothers face. “What are you going to tell everyone this time?” She questioned him he usually blamed it on sports or defending someones honor but she was positive most people knew that Mr. Kish beat his son.

[arch-kish]

Archer wished he could stop it was like it was in his DNA to be this way. “I don’t think me trying would help,G.” He stated believing it to be true. “I don’t know I’ll think of something though. Can I sleep with you tonight?” He asked her scared their father would try and teach him more of a lesson later on when he had had a few more beverages. “I—“ He couldn’t finish his sentence it was becoming all jumbled in his mind.

Sisterly love| A & G

Archer knew better than to talk back to their father but that didn’t always stop his mouth from coming to play and tonight was one of those nights. The teen had a hard day at school and his father was just pushing him over the edge until he pushed back. So now he was in his sisters room letting her take care of them; it had become their normal since their mother left. “G, what can I say sometimes my mouth moves faster then my body.” He spoke as she washed his face. He had always had it in his mind that their father never wanted him and that’s why he was so hard on him.
