BAPA One-Shots

BOOM!

Synopsis: Chapa is easily scared by thunder (and her bad parents) and turns to Bose for comfort.

(Ironic because her superpower is shooting lightning from her hands)

(Warning: swearing)

Chapa's POV:

I've always been a tough person, tougher than anyone else. But there are some things that I do find pretty scary. Sometimes, I get scared easily. I hate it, and my parents hate it. They always get annoyed when something so small can get me so frightened.

My biggest fear is thunder. I know what you're thinking: How can thunder scare you when your superpower is electrokinesis? That does sound pretty ironic, but it's different.

My superpower doesn't cause that much noise, but real thunderstorms can easily break me. I am sensitive to really loud noises, like REALLY loud noises. Aside from screaming, which my parents have done plenty of from being so annoyed with me getting easily scared. They always tell me that I'll never change, but what the fuck do they know?

Right now, I'm upstairs in my room after my parents ordered me to. The school principal called them again and told them that I was suspended for two weeks for fighting another student after he called me mean names. I even tried telling my parents that, but they did not care. They were tired of me always getting in trouble at school and that I should've told a teacher instead of throwing hands.

Everytime my parents say that to me, it just pisses me off more. I wanna scream at them so much and just let all my anger out, but I'm afraid if I do that, they might do something really horrible like beat me or disown me, and I have nowhere else to go, so I kept it in as best as possible.

Eventually, they called me down to dinner. I really didn't feel like eating, but I didn't wanna hear them yell again, so I got up and went downstairs. I didn't talk the whole time, and neither did anybody else. After dinner was over, I went back upstairs. I'm sitting on my bed right now and trying to let all my emotions out, but for some reason, they were bottled up to a point where they wouldn't leave my mind. Just when I thought things couldn't get worse...

BOOM!

There was a fucking thunderstorm happening. Fucking perfect, I thought, just what I've been hoping for. As soon as the first thunderclap hit, I shrieked and hugged my knees. I must've shrieked too loud, because I heard my mom from downstairs saying...

Alejandra: "GROW UP, CHAPA! IT'S JUST THUNDER!"

Coming from someone who's favorite child is Sage and NOT ME, that hit me really hard. I tried really hard this time to make tears come out of me, but it just wouldn't work. That's when I realized I had no other choice. There was only one person that I could go to right now, someone I know I would be really happy to see, someone who'd be really happy to see me... Bose.

At this point, I didn't care how soaked I would be by the time I got to his place, so I took the chance and climbed out my window. After making super sure my parents didn't hear, I ran away from that awful house. I sprinted all the way to Bose's house, gradually getting wet with the downpour. I did not stop to take a breath for any reason and just kept on going.

I decided to take a shortcut through the woods that led to his house. I felt like my heart would stop at any point, but I just kept running. Suddenly, I took a step, and ended up falling flat on my face. At that moment, I felt that I should just lie down here on the wet and muddy ground for the rest of my life, and let the rain wash away the remains of my scared, pathetic little self.

I had to fight through it, though, for Bose. I stood up, wiped some of the mud off my face, and started to run, but I couldn't budge. I looked behind me and saw the reason, also the reason I fell flat on my face. Turns out I stepped into a deep patch of mud, and my boot was stuck. I tried freeing it, but the mud was putting up a fight.
