"Listen to me for once!" Max growled to his father with anger as he grabbed his father's wrist and twisted it. It was better than being slammed into the wall and yelled at while being held there. His father's eyes grew wide and before Max knew it, his knee gave out and he crumbled onto the floor. His father pulled him up a foot by pulling at his hair and spoke before dropping him.
"I'd be careful if I were you." Max winced and then was dropped onto the thinly carpeted floor. He murmured curses before he forced himself up and settled in the corner of the living room.
His father had come home early from work because there was nothing to do, plus family was coming for a dinner of sorts. Max was going to be meeting his step mother for the second time that year, and it was October. He didn't like her though, so it was like a gift he hardly got to see her. She was one of the reasons why his father had changed to being hard.
He peeled his phone out of his back pocket and slowly opened his email app to see if he got anything. And to his surprise, there was one unopened email from the special girl that made him smile whenever he wanted to disappear. He read through it as if it were the most savoury piece of chocolate cake. Once she mentioned meeting, a worried smirk appeared on the left side if his lips.
And then he pressed the reply button.
'Dear Lovey Dovey,
Wow...didn't know my charm worked that well. Maybe I need to step it up to level 2, huh? Maybe that'll send you all the way here.
Man...now I'm just imagining what you'd look like. Is that a bad thing?
But I agree...we need to meet up.
I'm a seventeen year wanting to meet you halfway across the world just to see you.'
Max cringed at his own words and erased the last sentence he wrote.
'Message back if you have any plans.
Later Weirdo,
Max.'
