Life Is Cruel (A Natewantstobattle x OC)

2. Rough Past

We arrived at Mark's house and I have to say, IT'S FRICKING HUGE! I haven't even seen the inside yet. Mark is on the phone and we are about yo go in.
"Yeah..Okay...I'll see you guys later then." Mark said getting off the phone. We walk inside.

"Welcome to your new home sis!"
"Whoa!"
"Do you like it?"
"I-I Love It!"
"Great! Here let me show you your room." Mark says, grabbing a couple of my bags. He leads me to my room. It's nice and cozy.
"I'll let you get all you stuff together and then we can talk."
"Okay, Where are Tyler and Ethan?"
"Oh yeah, They went to the store, They'll be back soon."
"Alright."

I put my bag and two suitcases on my new bed and decided to put on some music while I unpack. Time fore some Panic! At The Disco! I played LA Devotee and started unpacking.

~30 Minutes Later~

I finished putting everything away...except my second suitcase, but that's just random stuff so I'll do them later. I put up all my posters (I have a lot) there mostly just bands and video games. I heard some guys, maybe Ethan and Tyler are back. I go out of my room.

"Hey guys!" I greet.
"Maria!" Tyler shouts with joy before hugging me.
"Wow its been so long! You look amazing!" He adds.
"Thanks! You look pretty good too! You are really tall!"
"Haha yup."
"Yeah Tyler finally hit puberty." Mark joked.
"And what about you?" I said smirking.
"Ha ha very funny." He says while we laugh. I walk up to Ethan and hold out my hand.
"You must be Ethan! It's great to meet you! I've seen some of your videos and they're quite funny!"
"Yup! Its nice to meet you too! And thanks heh." I'm pretty surprised that my anxiety wasn't flaring up...probably cause I'm so happy. Mark cut of my thoughts with the question I was scared to answer.

"So Maria, Can you tell me that other reason now?" Welp...there goes my anxiety!
"Oh um y-yeah sure." Calm down Maria, you can do this! I thought. I sit on the couch between Mark and Tyler while Ethan sits on a chair.
"Okay so...don't freak out please."
"How would I freak out?" Mark said in a kind of jokey way.
"I mean don't get all overprotective."
"Oh Jeez." Tyler says.
"Okay."
"So about 2 years ago I met this guy, at first he was chill but once we started dating he got...abusive."
Mark looks at me with the 'keep going, I'm listening' look.
"And a couple months ago I finally built up the courage to do something about it, so I broke up with him and called the cops...now he's in jail but I just wanted a fresh new start."
"Okay...I understand."
"Are you mad at me?"
"Of course not, it's not your fault..but I have one question."
"And I have an answer." I said joking
"Did he..you know..do something that.."
"No!" I cut him off.
"Okay good...how about you go gets some sleep, it's getting late."
"Okay..oh! And I have one more thing to tell you."
They all looked up at me.
"I have Androphobia."
"Oh." Tyler and Mark said together
"Um sorry, but what is that?" Ethan asks.
"Its a fear of men."
"Oh..."
"I only haven't freaked out because I trust you guys, plus I am pretty happy."
"Yeah..I get that." Mark says.
"Well...Goodnight guys!"
"Goodnight Maria." They all say in unison.

Then I go to bed, I feel bad...I didn't tell them everything.
