Lau took a deep breath as they pulled into the driveway of the prison that held him hostage for years on in. He was rightfully afraid to step foot into that place but knew it must be done. He took another deep breath climbing out of the car walking to the other side where Larry stood, shades hiding the glint in his eyes at what he had planned afterwards. He pushed himself off of the car gently taking Lau's hand walking up to the front door. Once unlocked they walked inside and Lau was automatically stopped in his tracks.

He stared into the living room immediately getting flashbacks to all those times he slept on that couch trying to protect himself from Jaden and his wrath. He quickly adverted his gaze to the beautiful kitchen...

how beautiful it used to be. The memories quickly inserting themselves into his head, all those times he bled onto that island marble, those times his head met the refrigerator, all those nights he spent cleaning up his blood off of those wooden floors, how many times he washed blood off his hands in that sink, how much food and glass plus porcelain he cleaned from Jaden throwing a tantrum. He swallowed hard trying to hold back his tears as not to alert Larry, making his way towards the bedroom he walked past the bathroom.

The bathroom where he spent nights throwing up blood and falling asleep on the floor exhausted and bloody from a beating, all those times his head got smashed into that damn door, those nights he soaked in that tub to ease his wounds Jaden inflicted.

He shook his head finally making it to the bedroom,

the bedroom that he'd been shut out of. He longed for nights where he got to be held, where someone made love to him, made him feel beautiful. He sighed softly grabbing his suitcases from under the bed beginning to pack up what belongs he had left: which weren't a lot. Once finished he came back out just in time to see Larry hanging up a phone call.

Lau: who was that Larry?

Larry: I set up an appointment for you and Jean

Lau: appointment? What kind of appointment?

Larry: you and Jean gonna get you nails done tomorrow

Lau smiled softly at that, Jean was part of their dance crew and had been a neighbor since they were kids. She was a few years younger than them and was like a little sister. He missed her dearly and was excited to see her, yet what he didn't know was that Larry only told half the truth. He'd called and made an appointment alright, he'd made two: one for him and one for Lau. He smirked slightly to himself walking over to take Lau's suitcases

Larry: ready to go Belle?

Lau: please? I no wanna be here no more

Larry: oki, let's go

With that they walked out of the front door and back down the driveway towards the car, Larry loaded the luggage into the trunk before closing it and climbing into the car. He gently took Lau's hand giving him a bit of comfort as they drove off, driving in silence Larry could feel his other half was deep in thought. He turned on some soft jazz lowering the volume to relax Lau even if it was just a little. Pulling into Larry's driveway they both got out, Larry grabbing Lau's luggage out of the trunk making his way into the house.

He took Lau's things upstairs laying them on the bed in the guest room which would now be his room. He came back downstairs giving Lau a kiss to his head with a comforting smile

Larry: I have to go take care of a few things Belle, I be right back

Lau: oki, be careful I go take a shower and a nap

Larry: oki, love you

Lau: love you too

Lau made his was upstairs and Larry out the front door. As soon as he got in the car he made a phone call

Ray: wassup Larry

Larry: wassup, you got him?

Ray: yup, already tied up for you

Larry: perfect, I'll see you in twenty

Ray: ight man, be careful

Larry: bet

With that he hung up the phone and proceeded to drive to the warehouse.

AT THE WAREHOUSE:

Larry walked into the warehouse shutting the door behind him with a sinister grin painted on his face, he began pacing around the room with a metal bat in his hands Ray had tossed to him. His voice had dropped an octave, walking toward Jaden he growled smacking him so hard he flew back in the chair a bit. "You know... I find it funny how you had all that mouth but now you begging for you life" he shook his head before laughing his face going stoic immediately after "pathetic" he tsked.

Jaden spit out blood while whimpering "Aye man! If this about Laurent I'm sorry man, I-I'm so sorry! I'll never hit him again" Larry chuckled deeply shaking his head softly. "What made you think you'd get away with touching my Belle hmm? You abused him for years! Made him feel insecure and you give him trauma and you thought I let you live? That's so cute" he now had a psychotic glint in his eyes as he glared down at Jaden. "Mr. I like to abuse my partner... not so loud now huh? HUH?"

Larry was now pissed just thinking about it, swinging the bat he slammed it into Jaden's ribs repeatedly until he heard a crack. Tossing it to the side he grabbed some pliers taking Jaden's left hand cutting off his middle finger. He leaned down roughly grabbing his face making Jaden look at him "you fucked up" He cracked his neck a bit before standing up straight again, he took Jaden's arm, taking a look at it for a second before breaking it in four places. "You're gonna feel what he felt all these years"

He looked at Jaden's limp arm, not really satisfied with what he did. He stood up to his feet, tilting his head as he gazed into the guy's eyes darkly, punching him in his nose, breaking it instantly. He smiled with a laugh as he watched him bleed. "There we go.. onto the next order of business." He hummed before picking up a hammer, tapping the guys knee caps gently before slamming the hammer down with full force, shattering both knees.

Now irritated with his screaming but satisfied watching him bleed out he hummed to himself gazing at his watch seeing as two hours have now gone by. He grinned to himself reaching into his duffle bag pulling out his gun "alright I'm tired of this nigga, Shut the fuck up" he growled pulling the trigger hitting him right between the eyes "Ray clean this up for me" he hummed handing Ray a stack of cash. He gazed at the corpse of Jaden once more before walking over to the sink, making sure he left no traces he fixed himself up walking back out of the warehouse climbing into his car and driving off
