My dad continued to scream at me for the third time that day "YOU LITTLE BITCH. WHY CANT YOU DO ANYTHING RIGHT FOR A CHANGE"

Ever since my mom walked out on us last year after my older brother died in a car wreck, my dad was always drinking and screaming at me.

Ever since all that happened, my best friend Duff was always there for me. My dad never understood that,

"YOU ARE ALWAYS BUMMING AROUND HERE AND THEN YOU GO HANG OUT WITH THAT NO GOOD TRASH"

"DONT EVER TALK ABOUT DUFF THAT WAY" I screamed back

He went silent before yelling at me again "I KNOW ABOUT GUYS HIS AGE, HE'LL HAVE YOU MAKING BAD DECISIONS IN NO TIME. HE PROBABLY JUST WANTS YOU SO HE CAN-"

"SHUT UP" I screamed at him.

I saw his eye twitch furiously "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME"
"YOU HEARD ME" He shoved me hard into the door, the doorknob shoving hard into my side, probably leaving a bruise.

"YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN TO TALK BACK TO ME" He spat at me and stumbled to his room. I was on the verge of tears and as soon as he closed the door to his room I bolted out the door and ran to Duff's place. He was one year older than me and I was 18 so he has his own apartment.

I knocked on the door, tears streaming down my face. As soon as he opened the door, I hugged him tightly. As soon as I pulled away, he looked me in the eyes "Y/n what's wrong?"

"I-its m-my dad" I stuttered "What did he do to you?" He asked with a serious tone in his voice.

"H-he was yelling at me and when I yelled back, he pushed me hard into the door, and well," I showed him the bruise.

"Did he hit you?" Duff asked looking me in the eyes concerned. I shook my head "The doorknob jammed into me when he shoved me into the door"

Duff gave me a hug "Why'd you yell back?" He let go of me. I took a deep breath "he was taking shit about, you" Duff's eyes went wide "and you yelled at him for that?" He asked softly. I nodded and he hugged me tighter before he let me go and we went to the couch and sat down.

Duff turned to face me "So, you ever gonna go back"

"I doubt it. Can I stay with you?"
"Of course you can"
"My dads probably passed out right now. Can you drive me to my place so I can grab my stuff?"
"Yeah, lets go"

———
We drove back to my place and I carefully crept in. I heard snoring in my dads room. I signalled for Duff to come in.

We went into my room and I grabbed my suitcase and started packing. I handed Duff my clothes and he put them into the suitcase.

When we finished, we drove back to Duffs apartment. We went in and I sat on the couch. Duff looked at me and sat down. "I love you, you know that?" Duff said as he sat down

"I know"
"No I mean I love you love you"
I have always had feelings for Duff but I put them aside because he was my best friend and I thought he would never feel the same about me
"I love you too"

With that I leaned in and he closed the gap between us by placing his lips on mine. I didn't waste anytime before I kissed him back. I could feel my heart pounding against my chest.

We were interrupted by a pounding on the door. I glanced at the clock, it read 12:30 at night. The pounding continued on the front door, when, all of a sudden, a booming voice called out "OPEN UP YOU SICK SON IF A BITCH. I KNOW YOU HAVE MY DAUGHTER IN THERE"

Shit.

Duff looked at me in his eyes and whispered in my ear "Don't worry. I got this" I smiled at him and he walked towards the front door.

I heated it open and then there was yelling. Tears slid down my cheeks as my father continued to scream at Duff.

After awhile, I heard the door slam shut and a car leaving. Duff walked into the room with a black eye. "What the hell did he do to you" I asked frantically.

"It's ok Y/N, it's ok. He won't bother you ever again"

I slowly stood up and walked towards him.

"Thank you" I whispered softly while wrapping him tightly in a hug.

"I'll always be there for you Y/N, no matter what" he leaned down and kissed me slowly and softly.

"My hero" I smiled and kissed him again.

I had no idea that today I'd end up with my best friend. That's life for you.

A/N- I feel like this chapter was trash. Sorry for that
