Garroth

What is wrong with me? Why would I tell Aph I have a girlfriend?! Ugh..I guess I shouldn't think nothing of it. Right?

Knock knock. "Coming!" I hear Aphmau's sweet voice call out. Then, the door opens quickly. "Hi." Aphmau's says a little sad and plain. "Hey Aph! Is everything okay?" I ask her. Something I definitely wrong. She might fool her parents but she's not fooling me. "I'm fine Garroth!" She tries to say a little sweeter but I can tell she's faking it. "Come inside, I'll go get your watch." She says to me, motioning for me to come inside. "Okay Aphmau..." I say, trying to figure out that's wrong. I sit on the couch in the living room while Aph goes to get my watch.

"Mija! Why didn't you tell me sooner?!" I hear Aphmau's mom yell. Huh? What's going on? "I didn't want you to keep me away from my dad! I know he's gonna change momma! I just know he his.." I hear Aphmau say, saying the last part a little lower. "Mija, he's been hitting you!" W-What..? "Just... Ugh.. Let me go back to Garroth okay? He's the only thing that makes me happy in the world. Between you having cancer, you and dad being divorced, and me being abused, I'm just not happy anymore!" I hear Aphmau yell. "Mija.. I know how you fe-" Just then, I hear a door slam. And then Aphmau whispering to herself as she walks, "You don't know anything about me.. No one does.." Then, I see her walking back to me with my watch in her hand.

"Here ya go Garroth!" She says happily. I just stare blankly at her. "G-Garroth?" She stutters. I jump up from the couch and hug her. She hesitates a bit but then hugs back. "Garroth what's wrong?" Aph asks me. I avoid her question. "Keep the watch." I say to her smiling. "W-What?! Why?" Aphmau asks me a little concerned. "I know this sounds mean but y-you're poor right?" I ask her. "W-well, yeah.." She says to me, looking down. "Garroth? H-how much is this watch worth?" "$1,290." I say calmly. "G-Garroth! N-No! I can't take this! It's a gift from you and i-if I keep it, I'd probably sell it but it'd sell it because I need not because I just want to but then I'd feel bad because it's a gift from you and I-" Before she could finish, I pull her into another hug. She just laughs. And laughs, and laughs. "I was rambling, wasn't I?" She looks up and smiles at me, since I'm taller than her.

"Yup." I chuckle. "Garroth?" Aphmau asks me, still looking up at me? "Yes?" I question. "Why are you nice to me?" Because I love you.. "W-Well, why wouldn't I be?" I question again. "Because you just met me and don't know everything about me..." She replies. "Oh trust me Aphmau," I say, looking down into her beautiful light brown eyes. "I'm pretty sure I know somethings."
