unconditional

Chapter 2

~Christy's POV~

After we got to the apartment, I immediately took a shower. I felt angry and lonely. But then I realized that I shouldn't be angry. She knew he was one of my favorite youtubers and let it slip. I probably would have done the same. I finished up with my shower and put sweats and a hoodie on. I went to find Lisa and I found Joey in the kitchen.

"Where's Lisa?" I ask. He looks a little afraid of me.

"She's filming in her room." He says quietly.

"Oh okay, well do you know when she'll be done?" I ask.

"Probably in about 10 minutes." He says. Well. While I'm waiting I might as well apologize to him too. I motion for him to sit down. He hesitantly sits down.

"I just wanted to say I'm sorry for how I was acting earlier. I've been through a lot of crap lately and I was taking it out on you two. So I'm sorry." I say taking a deep breath. He nods.

"Its okay. Do you mind telling me what happened? So I can help you get through it?" He asks. I think about it for a few minutes. Why not? He's gonna have to find out eventually. I take a deep breath.

"So...a few months ago I was dating this guy, Harry..and he was nice and all, but after a few weeks he started beating me. My friend Leah found out when she saw the bruises and called the cops. He was put in prison, but I felt more depressed than I had ever been with him. I attempted to kill myself and I was put in the mental hospital for three weeks. It's not as scary as some people might think. It's really only scary when people with anger issues act Out. Anyways, that put aside, I'm a lot happier now. Yes I have bad days like everyone else, but I don't even need my depression pills anymore, which is saying something." I explained with my head down. When I loomed up, Joey had tears streaming down his face. I look at quizzically.

"Why are you crying?" I ask. He looks up.

"You deserve better than that. And nobody should ever have to deal with that." He says sniffling. He grabs my chin softly and kisses me softly. I pull away and look at him with wide eyes then run up to my room.

Authors note: The depression and hospital thing is actually true for my case, except for the abusive boyfriend. I had a physically and verbally abusive stepfather. But now he's a lot better and doesn't hit anyone. And comment ideas! I have writers block.sometimes :/
