I then nodded anxiously while looking over at my other neighbor's door to make sure he wasn't bursting out. I then grabbed a box and walked into the vacant apartment, setting it down next to the other boxes. niall then quickly said, "hey I forgot to ask you, what's your name..?"

I looked down to the side and uttered quietly, "calvin..but you can call me whatever." he then chuckled softly and said, "well calvin, I'm going to get more boxes. but I'll be back soon, alright?" I nodded as he bolted down the stairway.

after a few minutes of me setting boxes down in his apartment, I heard the sound of my neighbor laughing a bit, "well well, look who came out of their apartment after a few days, thought you died in there." I then sighed softly and asked, "...what do you want, greg..?"

"oh nothing much.." he smirked a bit, "hah, no wonder you go out much. you're doing the world a favor by not showing your pale ugly face around." I kept quiet as he kept throwing insults, going over to the outside of the apartment to get the last few boxes, which is something I'll be regretting later.

greg then slammed me against the wall and smiled a bit, "don't fucking ignore me while i'm talking to you, you little shit!" he then began smacking me roughly while throwing more insults at me. I began crying while trying to cover my face and eventually, he let go of me and went back to his apartment quickly.

I quickly rushed back in my apartment and dived into the bed, wrapping myself in the blankets and letting out choked sobs. it's just a nightmare living next to greg, all he ever did was beat me up, psychically and mentally.
