Healing The Desolated Heart

V

Val's Pov

After the long rest at the clinic I finally got some energy so I decided to walk home because class ended early

As I was walking I felt very uneasy, like someone was following me

I slowly turned around while praying that someone won't rob or kidnap me

Maybe I'm over reacting but you still have to be cautious this days

I got pepper spray from my bag, and ready to attack

"Whoever you are, go away!" I managed to turn around and look at the person who was standing in front of me while pointing my weapon directly at him

"Oh my God! Why are you still here?!" I told Ethan

"I swear to god if you really spray me with that I will be your worst nightmare" He glared at me

"My nightmares are worst than your face being in there" I kept my weapon erm- pepper spray inside my bag

"Why are you even bringing those kind of things" He asked jogging towards me

"To stay away from people like you" I told him then he chuckled

"We haven't introduced ourselves properly since we met" He told me

"Where did the cold face and snobbish attitude went?" I laughed

"Hey I'm not cold and snobbish, I'm amazing and attractive" he wiggled his eyebrows

"Whatever you say monkey" I let out a small laugh

"We have got to stop with the nicknames. Okay, I'm Ethan Bay soon to be your bae" he winked and I punched him playfully

"Kidding... I'm a senior and I am the God of Attractiveness" He said proudly

"What a very untruthful description you have there Mr. Bay. I'm Valerie Stevens, I just moved here and if you think your the 'God of Attractiveness' your much self-centered than I think you'd be" I rolled my eyes and he laughed

"So Val, what was it like at your previous school" he asked out of curiosity

"To be honest it wasn't fun as it is here-" I told him

"I was just a lonely butterfly ready to get out of its cocoon but I can't because there's something stopping me from doing it, until I met my friends back there" I answered dramatically

"But back to the question. It was fine I guess, they have many types of personalities in my previous school some good, some bad, some annoying, and some very disturbing" I said

"Well atleast you didn't turn out to be those annoying ones" he told me

"Oh are you complimenting me now" I put my hand on my heart to explain how shocked I am

"Because the 'door' accidentally pushed you and got you to the clinic leaving a huge bruise" He explained

"Say whatever you want, we both know whose at fault here" I eyed him then he raised his hands defensively

"My house is here. See you tomorrow I guess" I waved

"I just live a few blocks away from here, so see you" He waved back then started walking

When I reached the front door I heard loud sobs. I immidiately went inside then saw broken plates and a really messy living room and kitchen.

I hurriedly went upstairs to check if everything was alright. I went inside my parents room to see if they're fine. Their room looks all messed up then I found my mom lying and crying in the corner
