Volleyball Girl?

Chapter 8

TW: Abuse, yelling, arguing (any other triggers lmk)

Apollo POV:

I stood in front of my door, dreading going in.

I slowly opened the door

"Apollo! Get here now" My step-mother shouted from the living room

Oh shit...

"Yes Linda" I said to my step-mother

"Don't have that attitude with me" She said slapping me across the face

"The fuck was that for??" I yelled

"Don't fucking swear" She yelled slapping me again

"Stop fucking slapping me, what is wrong?" I said

"Stop swearing" She warned "You fucking went out, you didn't ask me. I had things for you to do at home!" She yelled at me

"You needed to make dinner, clean the bathroom, vacum everywhere and also mop. So WHY did you go out without asking me?" She yelled again getting right up to my face, backing me to the wall

"1: I asked dad, you're not in charge of me. 2: i'm not your fucking slave! You do those things. Just because dad isn't at home doesn't mean you can be a dick to me. Sure you don't like me, for whatever reason i don't know but there's no need to be such a cunt to me!" I yelled pushing her off me

"I hate you because you're a fucking faggot!" She pushed me on the floor, kicking me

She kicked me a few times and walked out and upstairs. I was holding back my tears, knowing i needed to get out of here until my dad gets back.

I really quickly got up and ran upstairs, i got a bag and put my phone charger in it, clothes and laptop. I went back downstairs, i got to the front door and slammed it shut.

I had a place in mind to go, only if he'd let me stay...

I started heading to Max's place hoping he'd let me stay, i knocked a the door waiting for him to open it.

"Hi" He said, quickly noticing i was crying "OMG are you ok Apollo" He said pulling me into a hug

"C- Can i- i please stay here for a while?" I asked him through sobs

"i'll ask mom but yea! Come in" We walked into the house and up to his room, a few minutes later he came into his room with a glass of water

"Here, mom said you can stay as long as you need" He said passing me the water

"Thanks" I told him, taking a sip

"Wanna talk about what's wrong?" He said

"Not really, can i go to a the bathroom please" I asked

"Yea of course, just down the hall"

I walked into the bathroom taking my clothes off, i took photos of the bruises my step-mom had given me, i put my clothes back on and walked out the bathroom back to Max's room

"Hey" I said sitting down on his bed

"Hi, come here?" He asked, his arms open

I layed in his arms and ended up falling asleep
