"KRYSTAL OPEN THE DOOR" i hear a older man yell banging on my door i suddenly wake up, "mm who is that" Apollo groans still asleep, 'oh shit its dad', "Apollo wake up, its my dad you need to leave" i shake him trying to wake him up, he looks at me confused on whats happening, i point at my window " i'm sorry but you have to climb out",  i open the door worried about whats going to happen next "good morning sorry i was asleep, wha-" he grabs my arm and drags me to the living room, " what the fuck is this" i look around and of course Hunter forgot to clean up after himself, "Hunter had some friends over i was just in my room" i reply, he looks at me with a pissed off expression, "don't act smart with me, i don't care who it was make yourself useful for once and clean this shit up" he screams at me as if i had just committed a crime, i keep silent and obey his orders, i hear Hunter come out and talk to dad, "Dad its not even her fault i'm the one that made the mess and invited my friends over" he argues "i don't give a fuck she's useless anyways she might as well clean up", i sigh looking over at Hunter " just drop it". The rest of the day went by as usual i studies, went on a run and then went to work

i had just finished closing the Library and had a couple of my favourite books in my bag, i wasn't ready to go home yet knowing my father was going to be there so i decided to go to the park even though it was already late, i had my earphones in listening to my favourite band and made my was to the swing, i pulled out one the the books and a cigarette, i lit it up whilst i was reading. Almost an hour goes by then i suddenly got a message for Apollo Asking how work was, we continues to text for a bit until he asked what i was doing, 'not much just at the park near work by myself what about you' i replied to his message, ' is that the (xxxx) one' he says, i reply with a 'yes why' he leaves me on open for a bit, i begin to get worried, 'stay there' he says, i got confused and a bit worried but just shook it off and went back to my music and book.

its been like 25 minutes since Apollo messaged me back i'm starting to get worried i think to myself, suddenly i feel someone taking out one of my earphones "what are you listening to" he whispers, i quickly jump up turning around, i sigh in relief "you scared the shit out of me" i laugh, Apollo was standing there laughing whilst he put my earphone in listening, "i love this band, i didn't know you listen to music like this" i laugh "yeah they're my favourite, what did you think i listen to" he starts laughing to himself whilst taking a seat on the swing next to me, "uhh i don't know probably someone like Taylor Swift" i gasp dramatically "i'm so offended how could you" i yell out sarcastically giving him a light punch on the arm, we laugh together, "so tell me what's up" he says as if he could see right through my expressions, "what do you mean, i'm fine" "i know theres something up you know you can tell me anything" hearing those reassuring words filled my stomach with butterflies.

 After some courage i finally decided to open up to him about my mental and physically abusive father, i told him about all the things i had to go through and how he always favourited Hunter so he never went through it and how hunter was the only one that would stand up for me cause my mum was always too scared but i never blamed her for anything.

We sat in silence Apollo had now words to say he had no expression on his face, it was hard to read what he thought, "you don't deserve that or anything bad that you've gone through" he says quietly looking into my eyes, i couldn't help but look away " you know you're really bad at holding eye contact" gets up and stands in front of me laughing "stop no i'm not" i say looking down, he laughs "prove it cause you've barely look me in the eyes when we talk", i stand up looking up into his big droopy hazel eyes, he has such long lashes, i couldn't help but get nervous and push him back breaking the eye contact, "okay fine you make me nervous i cant", i laugh awkwardly walking towards the slide across from the monkey bars, he walks to the bottom of the slide and watched me come down, "oh so i make you nervous now i see" he says seductively walking towards the bars, i quickly follow him "what do you mean i see, i don't mean nervous like that i just mean like you know" i watch as he flexes and starts doing pull ups back to back, " oh yeah of course definitely" the sarcasm was basically pouring out of his mouth, he drops down and gets really up close to me out of no where i step back out of surprise but he gets even closer our chest almost touching, i could feel the warmth of my blushing cheeks radiate on his face, "do i make you nervous Krystal" i gulp and before i could say anything he moves back with a smirk, "thats what i thought" my jaw dropped, it slowly began to rain,  he looks up at the sky then back at me "we should go i still have to walk you home" i finally snap out of it "no its alright you don't have to you'll get drenched" i say as i go pick up my bag before it gets soaked, he walks up to me wrapping his arm over my shoulders "i wasn't asking now lets go".
