He ended up backing down. It took a lot of persistency but it finally dawned to him that fighting him wasn't going to do anything but make him feel better about himself. Instead he held me for a little longer and made sure to comfort me and I hadn't realized how much I needed that. He only left once I fell asleep.

Now I'm in a park and I'm waiting for my little sister. My mom instructed for me to go get her and in all honestly I didn't really want to. I was so comfortable in my bedsheets but I woke up when my alarm went off to remind me to go get her. I really needed that rest and I know it would've done me some good but it only lasted maybe an hour.

There's a small bed of grass with a playground and it sits roughly between her friends house and our house. For years it's been the pickup point so my sister and her friend could use the playground for a bit before they leave. It's about eight pm and they should be here at nine. It would've been easier if they just dropped her off at our place but I think it went without saying that it would be here. I wish mine and my sisters friends parents would change that because my fight or flight senses are more the unsettled in the area.

Every crackle or leaf that I hear scares the living shit out of me. I haven't been outside by myself after dark in months and I don't plan on starting it again.
My Mom was persistent that I picked up my sister. Given the fact that she had no idea who Jordan even is, it left me with no valid reason to say no. Gently stomping my feet, I'm sitting on the curb. I should sit on a bench or something but the closer I am to the road the quicker I can get my little sister and leave.

'Brylan?' My heart sinks when u hear my name.

Turning to see Jordan, he has his earbuds in as if he's out for a jog. Feeling like an idiot I don't know why I came here alone. This neighborhood is close to school so I tend to see alot of people here when I'm outside. I don't know why I thought today would be a god damn exception. I doubt he'll do anything since from his point of view I've been compliant with shutting me mouth but even looking at him makes me want to spew.

Scraping myself off the sidewalk I'm quick to start walking away. 'Brylan turn around.' Jordan almost demand but I'm too busy trying to figure out where the fuck I'm even going. He was coming from the direction of my house so I can't even go home. Heading to the bathroom, I knew it was stupid to be standing in a wide space. Everyone fucking knows this park, why didn't I sit somewhere else?

Opening the woman's bathroom it's locked so I try the men's but it's also locked. Dreading the inevitable I gasp from relief when the disabled bathroom door opens. Quickly stepping in, I lock the door behind me. Just as I lift my hand from the lock he tried to get in.

'That's rude? It's not nice to run away from people when they're trying to talk to you.' I step away from the door. Scrambling for my phone I check to see it's barely been five minutes past eight. It's not going to be ages until Sasha gets here. 'Open the door Brylan,'
