Before Our Hearts Were Broken

(Yugyeom)
Exhaustion, that's what i felt as my father rained down his insults, hidden under his fake smile i could see the venom laced frown. I'd disappointed him again, I'd brought a friend home with out permission, and even though we'd showered we were still mangy dogs. "Yugyeom. Go to your room." My dad said in a stern voice as soon as bam left, the guest was still in the kitchen listening to my mothers lies. I didn't say a word as i ascended the stairs, to most parents i was being a normal teenager but to mine i was being disgraceful. I carefully locked my door and got ready for bed, if i was asleep my mother would convince him to leave me alone for atleast tonight. I snuggled into my bed as i heard the front door close and his heavy footsteps followed by my mothers much lighter ones. "He never listens to me. He does this type of thing on purpose. They both smelled of wet dogs." I couldn't make out what my mother said but i did hear the door nob jiggling. "Why is the door locked?" My father said angrily "he's probably asleep. He looked exhausted. Let him sleep. Its probably my fault he brought his friend over i did mention it." I heard him mumble a whatever before the floor creeked a little more and then the house was silent. My phone lit up
From: bam
Are you alright?
To:bam
I'm fine, hbu?
From:bam
I'm alright. I was worried
To:bam
Get some sleep, we have alot of practice to do tomorrow.
I set my alarm for an hour earlier than usual, avoiding him was the best thing i could do. I never actually fell asleep, i just laid in bed as my thoughts ran rapid, would our dance go well? Would i ever be anything but a disappoint to my father? I answered that with a no because not only was i only into dance but i was about as straight as a circle. I was ready for school before the sun was up so i carefully tip toed down stairs and out the front door. What was i going to do for a whole hour? I checked the time again and then decided I'd call bam. "Hello?" He said groggily over the phone "hey bam. How fast can u be ready? We are going to grab breakfast then practice the final touches of the dance." I heard shuffling and thump "give me five minutes." i grinned "you have about ten, i walk a little slow when i cant see two feet in front of me." He chuckled and then hung up, as i slowly walked toward his house i thought about the dance and how our outfits would have to add some pow to it. Id ask jackson and bam to get some ideas, "you wanna tell me why we are up a whole hour early?" I hung my head slightly and lied through my teeth " i was worried about the dance, and thought we'd avoid your bully by going out in the morning" he nodded before grabbing my hand "come on i know a great place for breakfast." As we hurried down the street my eyes stayed trained on him, he was beautiful. The slight smile he wore, the way his slim fingers felt in between mine. I smiled, i lose. I was going to fall for him eventually, maybe it would be his dancing or his cute laugh, i guess it didn't really matter i was going to fall hard. "Here" he said as he pushed the doors open to give view to the coziest little dinner I'd ever seen. "I'm paying by the way" i said as we made ourself comfortable in the booth furthest from the door. He blushed slightly "i can pay for myself" he muttered "nope it was my idea to drag you out of bed." "Hello, my name is yuri. I'll be your waitress this morning. Can i get you anything to drink?" We both said coffee and muffins. He bounced slightly in his seat as he glanced around, "so how did you find this place?" He smiled "when we first moved here this was the closest place to us so we came here to eat and they were so nice. It quickly became one of our favorites so we used to eat here weekly." i nodded " i can see why, its really nice in here." The waitress came by and set our orders infront of us. We ate quickly before i grabbed the tab and paid. "If we hurry we can practice a good hour before class." he nodded " probably more like fourty five since we will have to shower." i laughed "that's true." When we got to school i noticed how uncomfortable bam looked "what's wrong?" He gave a sheepish grin "he always gets here early. Maybe going in through the gym will help us avoid him." I frowned, "i know a way he won't find us." "How?" "Follow me" i pulled him though one of the teacher work rooms and then through the dance practice room. "See?" "We arent supposed to go through there! But yeah your right we didn't see him once." "Come on let's get down to business, we have got to get a A."
