Jealousy (A+A)

Apollo

"Oh my god! Guess what?!"

"What?" Val asks our best friend.

"Evan asked me to be his girlfriend!" Alani beams and I feel my heart drop.

"What?!" Val asks with shock, glancing at me.

"Yeah..." I turn and walk outside, where parents are waiting.

I stand and wait, until I see dad's car. When he gets here I go to the front passenger seat, slamming the door closed as I get in.

"What happened, bubba?" Dad asks and I shake my head. I feel him run his hand on top of my hair before we sit in silence.

Val and Santi finally come and we leave.

When we get home I rush inside and go into my room.

I throw off my bag and my clothes, pacing the floor with anger.

"Stupid!" I knock over my dresser.

"Yes, Apollo... Destroy everything."

"It's supposed to be me!" I knock over another dresser.

"Kill."

"Apollo." My door busts open as I knock things off of my desk.

"It's supposed to be me!" I throw one of my trophies at the window, but the window doesn't break.

"Kill, Apollo."

"Stupid fucking Evan! He ruins everything!" I yell, thrashing around as I feel my dad's arms around.

"Kill him!"

"I'm gonna kill him! Let go of me!" I elbow my dad in the gut and run into my closet.

"Where is it?" I mumble, looking through my boxes for my pocket knife. "I'm gonna kill him!"

I find the knife and go back into my room to find it empty and the door wide open.

I leave my room and head downstairs.

"Yes! Kill him!"

When I get to the front door, it won't open. I turn the lock and it still won't open.

"Let me out! I'm gonna kill that blond bitch!" I kick the door and it does nothing. "Let me out!"

"Apollo."

I turn around and see my mom at the bottom of the stairs.

"It's supposed to be me, mama. Me! Not him!" I yell

"Find a different way out! We need to kill him!"

"I'm trying!" I yell at the voices

"My sweet boy, ignore them and tell me what's got you upset," mom says as I walk through the house towards the garage.

When I get to the mud room door it won't open.

"Open the door! I need to kill him!" I run into the door but it won't open.

"Apollo. Come here," mom says but I shake my head.

"That's my Angel! I'm supposed to make her happy!" I run into the door again.

When I back up I feel arms wrap around me, but instead of thrashing out, I melt into them. "Mama. It's supposed to be me," I sob.

"Tell mama, baby. What's got my sweet boy like this?" She asks as I fall to the ground. She cradled me in her arms, brushing my hair off my forehead.

"We need to kill him, Matthew."

"We will. Just-just-just-just give me time!" I yell

"Ignore him, baby. Tell me what's wrong," Mom whispers
