Song of the Chapter: All Fall Down by One Republic
___
"Krainen?"
"Hey, Zyliena."
I stand there, staring at him in shock. I can't deal with this. So I do the mature thing. Slam the door in his face.
"Baby Doll? Who's at the door?"
I turn around and lean against the door.
"Baby Doll? What's wrong? Who was at the door?"
He steps towards me and I flinch involuntarily. A look of hurt crosses his face and he doesn't bother to wipe it away.
"Hey, I'm not going to hurt you."
He steps closer and gather me in his arms.
"What's wrong?"
I don't say anything and press myself closer to him. He lets me stay like that for a while until the doorbell rings again.
"Who is it?" Hotshot calls.
"No, please don't," I whimper, pulling at his shirt.
"There's someone behind that door and that person made you like this. I'm going to hurt them."
"Please, Adrenor. Please stop."
He pauses when he hears his real name escape my lips.
"Who's behind the door?" he growls.
"No one of importance."
"Baby Doll, you're lying. If they weren't important, then you wouldn't react this way. Please tell me."
"It's Krainen," I say after a pause.
"Your dad?" he asks.
I nod dejectedly.
He growls and steps towards the door.
"Wait, Hotshot, please!"
"No! He hurt you! He deserves to die!"
He opens the door before I can stop him and there stands Krainen, looking extremely uncomfortable because he had heard every word. Great. Now he knows he hurt me and how vulnerable I was after he left.
He doesn't look different. Same dirty blonde hair, same green eyes, still six feet tall.
Hotshot stands in front of him, sending him death glares.
"Do you know what you did to her? Do you?" He roars.
I grab Hotshot's bicep, dragging him away from the door.
"Hey, calm down."
"I will not calm down as long as that jerk is standing not even ten feet away from you! How are you not angry?"
"You think this is easy? Trying to stay calm? I want to kill him right now, but you're angry enough for the both of us."
Kly comes in and sees Hotshot fuming.
"What's up?"
"Krainen's back."
"What? That jerk is here?"
"Hey, I do not need two angry teens, right now."
"He hurt you and you're just going to let him get away with that?"
"Violence isn't the answer. All it does is make people get unnecessarily hurt."
They roll their eyes in unison. Not at all creepy. I glance at the door to see Krainen standing there awkwardly.
