Behind These Walls

35

CRYSTAL'S POV

We had fallen asleep on the bed. I was woken up by the sound of the door banging closed. Damn Richard is here. Christian also wakes up after that. "Is it him?" He asks, but I guess seeing the panic on my face gave him the answer he was looking for. As he was about to get out of bed the door bursts open and bangs on the wall.

I jump in fear and look at my drunk father. Chris slowly gets up and walks over to him. He punches him repeatedly and Richard fall to the floor, covering his face from Christian's furious punches.

All of a sudden Richard bursts out laughing, he was now on his knees slapping the floor. Chris and I just stand there awkwardly. He soon recovers and stands up again." It is funny how the both of you are the reasons you have single parents." I looked at him shocked, he knew Chris had a hand in Michael's death. He clearly hit a nerve because Chris had his hands clenched into fists so hard his knuckles were white. "Some nerve you have boy killing your dad like that." He said still laughing.

That was the last straw, and he took it away from Chris. I don't know when Chris got to him but all I heard was a thud and Richard was on the floor groaning. Chris got on top of him and punched him again."That's for talking nonsense about me." Chris punches him twice, "And that's for what you've been doing to Crystal." Chris gets up and kicks him twice. He tells me to pack my clothes so we can leave. I did just that and we left leaving Richard passed out on the floor.

I got everything thing I needed, I also transferred the footage to a USB and took it with me. The drive to Chris's place was tense and quite, I didn't want to say anything just incase he is not in the mood, so I kept quite and face the window, smiling lightly as I felt him grab my  hand and kiss the back of it. We get to Chris's house and we take my bags to the house. I was worried about his mom finding me here.

He led me upstairs and we stop infront of the door, he opened it and we got inside, the wall was painted nicely with my favorite colour, light blue. I smiled and looked down. "Uhm, this was my sister's room but you can make changes to it you know, changes the painting on the wa..." I cut him off and held his hand. Shaking my head slightly, "It's perfect, and my favorite colour and pictures of Justin Bieber and BTS makes it even better."

"You will be living with me from now on, my mom comes home late at night and leaves early in the morning, so it's just us most of the time."
