Stay With Me // ON HOLD

Troy

I arrive home at 4pm. I park my car in the driveway and I go inside the house, hoping that my mom would still be asleep. I was wearing a black hoodie to cover my face up so that no one would see the bruises.

I enter the house and I take a look at the place, nothing has moved. Not even an inch. Everything is where it belongs. I look around and my mom isn't there. I sigh in relief and I start making my way to the stairs. But I'm stopped when I hear the sound of glass shattering followed by my mom shouting, "SHIT." I find out that my mom was in the kitchen so I try to completely avoid it.

"Where do you think you're going, come here and talk to me," I freezes in my spot, "why don't you come?" I answer in a low voice.
I hear my mom taking steps closer to me, and when she's right next to me, she says, "turn around take that hoodie off, now!" So I what she says and I take my hoodie off and I turn around to face her.
My lips are all swollen and bleeding, I have a black eye and fingerprints on my throat. She takes one look at me and she starts trembling, "what happened to you? What did you do!?" Her voice breaks down in the middle of the sentence .
"I got in a fight, as you can see," I don't bother looking at her face any longer. I dint want to see the hurt and pain in her face. "Why, Troy? You've been trying so hard to control you anger issues and now you just let go of yourself to some kid at school? What did he do?" She cries.
"This boy was harassing my friend and I had to react so I may have started choking him but then Kaylee punched me right before he was about to blackout," we make eye contact for a few seconds.
"Just leave me alone, I don't need anyone to interview me right now," tears start filling my eyes and I push my mom aside, and head straight to my room upstairs and slam the door shut.

The first thing I think about when I get inside my room is: I need to talk to @lifesucks. I need to tell her everything that happened today, because she's the only person who actually understands what I'm going through.
I log onto my account and start texting her.

Me: I just had the worst and best day ever and I don't even know how that's possible

Her: what happened?

Me: well the good part was that I finally got to talk to a really good friend of mine.

Her: and the bad part?

Me: I got punched and now I have swollen lips and bruised eyes.

Me: but it was probably worth it.

Me: I mean, I wouldn't have been able to talk to that friend of mine if I didn't actually get punched.

Her: I would ask to see your face but you know, since you're not willing to tell me who you actually are, I can't exactly see it:/

Me: tough luck honey

Me: I need to go now though.

Her: okay bye. Text me soon.

And just like that, I felt like my day was so much better. Talking to @lifesucks makes me feel so much happier in ways that words can't even explain.
But talking to Emma makes me even happier. Having her wrapped in my arms is a feeling I can never forget. It's a feeling I never want to forget. I know we may not have the most perfect lives right now, but I want her more than anything in this world.

But to do that, I need to break up with kaylee first.

So as you've noticed, I've changed a lot it the plot of the story. I also changed the POV in this chapter.

So just stay with me for a little longer to find out what happens at the end. I promise you that the story will get better throughout the chapters. So hang on for a little longer
