CRYSTAL'S POV

"Crystal wait please!!" He yelled behind me, I slowed down a bit and tried controlling my breathing. Chris caught up with me. "Crys, I'm so..."  I stopped and looked at him. "Don't, please I don't want to talk right now or I swear to whichever item you worship I'm going to have a breakdown." I said wiping the tears that already ruined my face."That is totally fine Crys, you have held on to so much pain it is time for you to let it all go." I lightly shook my head and went towards the car.

Christian unlocked the doors and I got in. "My place or yours?" He asked starting the car. "Won't your parents be home?" he shook his head. "Your place it is then."
The drive to Chris's place was quite. There was a bit of tension but it wasn't that bad. 20 minutes later we were entering the gates to his home. He parked in the garage and we went inside the house. The interior was breathtaking.

I didn't have much time to admire it because he dragged me up stairs into his room. Of course when you enter a boy's room, you'd expect a mess, clothes lying around and smelly socks. Well that is exactly what I saw infront of me, excluding the socks, the room smelled okay. "Sorry for the mess, I...okay you know what, how about you make yourself at home while I take a shower and then I'll clean up in here."He said grabbing a towel and headed to his bathroom. Instead of" making myself at home" I decided to clean up his room, placing books in the shelves, dirty clothes in the laundry basket and made his bed.

Being used to clean at home I was quite quick. A few minutes later Chris came out of the bathroom with me facing the window. "Thank you Crystal but you didn't have too."He said walking towards his closet."I can mess it up again you know." I said jokingly. "Sheesh petty much." I let out a small laugh. I turned to the window again and got lot in the mist of my thoughts. Since I was deep in my thoughts, when Chris tapped my shoulder I accidentally punched him. Oops my bad. "Ahhh damn Crystal." He held his nose and rubbed it. "I..." I gulped and looked at him. "Remind me to never get on your badside in the future." He said laughing a little bit. "I'm really sorry Chris."

"It's okay... How about we go watch a movie now?" He asked walking towards the door. I followed silently behind him. We got seated on the couch and wrapped ourselves with a blanket, before he even got a chance to open the TV I asked him a question, a question I shouldn't have asked. A question I wanted to take back as soon as it came out of my mouth because if looks could kill, the TV would have exploded. "Where is your family Chris?"
