Y/N's POV

We walked into the hotel room, and it was actually quite nice, even if it was tiny. Probably better than any apartment in the city.

(This is the Lay-out Tho it's not proportionally correct, pretend it is. It's based losely off of a hotel room I had stayed in when I was in Chicago combined kinda with a hotel room I stayed at in the Poconos, if you need reference pics lmk)

He gave me a quick tour, and I put my stuff down on the floor next to the couch, which had a pullout bed with it which was nice. I then sat on the couch.

"I'm not sure if you have stuff on you, but if you need anything we can run up the street to like CVS or something," he says, sitting next to me.

"Besides my adhd medications, though I'll be fine without them because I forget to take them half the time anyways, I don't think I'm missing anything. My bag is always filled with stuff because this has happened a lot before," I say, smiling at him.

He looked shocked for a second then said, "ok, that's good at least, that you have stuff,  it's still kind of early, would you wanna do something?"

I looked at the clock and it was only 6:30pm, wow it felt like it was a lot later. I wonder what we could even do.

"Yeah, sure I guess," I say, I don't wanna be more of a burden then I already am.

"Why don't we watch a movie, do you have any suggestions?" He says, that sounds like a great idea to be honest.

"Well, maybe we could watch like Captain America Civil War or something, it's amazing." I say, the geek in me coming out. But to be fair I just follow the dopamine.

"I have not seen that, what's it about?" He says.

"Ok, why don't I show you Marvel in chronological order so you don't get confused" I say, he agrees and then get onto Disney+.

I turn on Captain America The First Avenger and now we start the binge.

~~Time Skip~~

We had watched both First Avenger and Captain Marvel, so it was now about 10:08pm. So we decided to call it a night and continue this tomorrow or another time.

Before going to sleep I went through Instagram, having to respond to a few texts on there. I then stumbled upon a certain persons recent posts, aka my parents.

They posted about going on a family trip to the Ocean City Boardwalk in south Jersey. So that's what was up?

Did they not consider me apart of the family?

I felt tears starting to come but tried to hold them back, I didn't want to wake Kholby up. I then got a text from my mom wishing me a good night, but I didn't respond.

I continued to go through the posts from both of my parents, it hurt to see them having so much fun and being the perfect family without me.

I started to sob, but kept it quiet because I thought Kholby was sleeping, but then I heard the bathroom door open, was he in there the entire time?

Whoever it was walked over and tapped me on the shoulder, it was him so I got up and just hugged him. Sobbing into his shoulder.

I guess he saw my phone and pieced together what happened, so he didn't ask anything. He then picked me up, me still sobbing into his shoulder, and we laid next to each other. I continued to sob into him, with him rubbing back, it was comforting. I ended up falling asleep next to him, my head on his shoulder.

KHOLBY's POV

Once she was asleep, I decided to take some screenshots and pictures of todays events to keep a record of things.

I know it jet was wrong, but I took her phone and used her face to get into it. I didn't actually go through anything but the texts between her and her parents. I saw the events of today and her parents asking her to babysit, seemingly all the time. Most of the time, or rather as far back as I went, it was all the time, she didn't get paid.

I screenshot these messages and a bunch of stuff from her parents instagrams, sent them to myself then deleted them.

This isn't a healthy relationship for anyone. Especially a working teenager.
