He's embarrassed about saying such words to Victoria

Fuck... why'd I say that? I've been pacing back and forth in my bedroom for the past twenty minutes now just cringing at the words I had said to Victoria's face, why am I acting like this? I don't even liked her but lately I've been doing stupid shit that has most definitely made her think I like her, a weird sense of unease rattles my body practically clawing up my body and into my chest sticking it's sharp long nails into my heart and clinging to it. Maybe fighting Diablo was stupid and overall just a dumb move but I don't know! These past few weeks back at school have done nothing but kick me up the ass and shove me around making my whole attitude something it isn't, I've never even thought of Victoria in such ways, I've never wanted to protect her, I've never wanted to kick her asshole of a boyfriend out of her life but yet here I was beating the shit out of him over some message. I need to get my shit together now.

I run a now clammy hand through my hair feeling the soft strands as I then grip a handful of it and finally stop pacing, standing in the centre of my room I shut my eyes and take in a deep breath and a newfound silence settles over my room eliminating the soft patter of my footsteps on my carpet, it's sudden tranquility settles heavily over the room like at thick, warm blanket. God, what am I going to do with myself if I keep acting like a damn fool, the soft sound of muffled ringing echos the room from beneath the dark coloured blankets of my bed. Trudging toward my bed I pull back the covers to reveal my phone in which vibrates in my hands with the Caller ID being anonymous "who's calling me now.." I huff and decide to answer since it may be Hades who probably needs to get away from home or possibly Arlo who could be drunk and calling off of a pay phone, the dumbass.

"Hello." My voice sounding a little hoarse as I spoke through the phone and into the speaker only to be met with a series of heavy breathes and stuttered sounds of the other person on the end of the line either trying to find the words to speak or just playing around "hello?" I repeat again with the intention of trying to get this mysterious person to answer before I'd just hang up the call, a soft chuckle hums through the phone, it didn't hold any positivity to it and it sure as hell wasn' any chuckle I've heard before "alright asshole, don't call here again." I huff and click the red hang up button before chucking my phone back onto my bed and beginning to walk away only to stop in my place when my phone rings again, licking my lips and tilting my head forward an slightly agitated sigh escaped my lips as I pulled myself back toward my bed to check who was calling, the same number. I shake my head and turn now making my way toward my closet to pull out some clothes to change into, it was getting late and I had no intention of losing anymore sleep than needed.

The ringing only continued, the anonymous callers would hang up and then ring again over and over as if stuck in a loop where who ever it was couldn't bring themselves to stop pressing the damn call button and it did nothing but grate at the nerves starting to bubble in my chest, finally I caved, dropping the shirt I had tugged off of a hanger onto the floor as I headed back toward my bed now picking up the phone not even bothering to check the caller ID knowing it'd be the mysterious caller "what the fuck do you want." My words held a heavy frustration to them as my voice sounded more rough than it needed to "what's your problem" the familiar voice of Hades jumps through the phone making whatever irritation I had felt moments before recoil "Hades?" Even if he can't see it I raise an eyebrow in confusion, there was no way that the person who was breathing into the phone before was hades since the pitch was too loud.

"Yeah, were you expecting someone else to call?" I can hear the sound of rustling from the other end of the phone, he was probably grabbing some clothes and stuffing them into a bag "no, was just hearing shit I guess." A lie slips through my lips so easily that I forget that I was trying to cover up the fact that I had been agitated not even five minutes ago "sounds like the usual but hey, could I stay at yours for a bit?" His words held the same gruff edge to them as they do every time he needs to get out of his house, an argument or something of the likes "you don't have to ask, man." Hades is and always will be welcomed in the house, he's got my back so I got his. The soft hum of a zip being pulled up passed through the phone "thanks, be over in ten." He grumbled before hanging up, I shrug and toss my phone onto my bed.

Now I finally get to change out of these damn clothes and get some comfortable clothes on, maybe a shower would do me well. Shouldn't take too long since Hades will be over soon, moving with a normal pace I grab some clothes and head into the bathroom, showering and getting myself freshened up before moments later stepping out of my now steamy bathroom with a towel over my shoulders as I use the end to dry my damp hair with a satisfied sigh passing my lips.

As if on time the front door opens and closes, Hades has a spare key seeing as he's always over at my house anyway "it's me," Hades yells out from down stairs, I remember the first time he had used the key and appeared out of no where when I was coming down the stairs. Let's say I almost broke my leg when I tripped and fell down the set of stairs trying to scramble at what I thought was an intruder, stupid, I know. "Come up!" I yell back in hopes he heard me, tossing the warm and damp towel into my laundry hamper I stroll over to my bed and lay back on the soft bliss of a mattress. My bedroom door opens and in walks Hades with his duffel bag filled with his necessities "you good?" I pull myself up and glanced over at him when he chucks his bag in the corner of the room and moved to sit on my couch that was sat by a wall "yeah just the usual parent bullshit." He grunts as he leans back on the couch getting himself comfortable "alright well feel free to use the tv or whatever, you know the drill." I lay back down and grab my phone.

The rest of the night was either random talk about random topics that flew past or we'd be playing the game, we had school tomorrow but I'm sure we could get out of one day right? A sleep in sounds fucking amazing.
