Where was Crystal? I looked up and saw nobody accept for a younger couple with their daughter and the casheir. I looked behind us but there were only two girls and none of them were Crystal.
"Do you know where Crystal went?" I asked Trevor. He shook his head. I got out my phone and texted her. After 5 minutes no response. I texted her again. No response. Crystal is one of those people who will always respond after I text her. I could tell she liked Trevor and I was slowly developing a crush on him but I just met him so I couldn't establish anything yet. I probably wouldn't tell her if she liked him. I don't like to see her heart break. She probably would get him though because she's more talented, pretty, and just over all better than I am. I don't know why I'm thinking about this though because I don't actually like him.
"Hey why don't we meet later this week again to discuss the project for real this time." I laughed.
"Totally! Give me your phone so I can put it in my number." He said and I did as he said. "Here is my number as well." I then put my number into his.
"Cool I'll text you later!" I said and walked out. I got on my penny board that I grabbed when we first got out of the car. I skated and texted Crystal while I did. I skated around where I thought she would be for about 30 minutes but no sign of her so I went back to our neighborhood and went to her house. I walked in like I tpically do and I heard a voice coming from the kitchen. Not her mothers voice, but a mans. It was bold and loud. Might I add quite scary. I shut the door.
"Crystal is that you?" Her mom called.
"No Its just me." I replied taking off my shoes.
"Oh Jordon come here I need to intruduce you to somebody." She called. I walked into the kitchen and saw Mrs.Shanon at the counter fixing some food and at the table their was a man with a black jacket on. He had dark brown hair and a buzz cut. He was quite a musculine man. He stood to shake my hand. He was a tower.
"Mike this is Jordon. Jordon this is Crystals dad, Mike." I shook his enormus hand and looked up at him with a nervous smile playing across my face.
"Hi." I said.
"Hello nice to meet you." He replied nicely and polietly. He seemed nice but I knew the truth about him. Crystal told me about him. Her mother didn't know all of the things he did to her. Then he got so sick of crystal he decided to leave. He told her mother that he got a knew job offering in New Jersey. He insisted that they stay here and he and her get a divore because her couldn't handel a long distance relationship. It was mutual. I wanted to punch him in the face right now but even for being tough, tall and strong he could pick me up as if I was a paper plane and send me flying across the country.
I heard the door click. Crystal. Shit. I heard her tiny feet tapped into the room.
"Dad?" She asked. I could see her eyes watering.
"Crystal." A evil grin spread across his face. Damn I guess he hasn't changed. He walked over and hugged her tightly and she pretended to hug back so her mom wouldn't suspect anything.
"I.. uhh... mom. what is he doing here."
"Oh crystal hes visiting for about a month to see his family. I'snt that sweet? Now we can be a family again for a while." Her mom said. voice filled with joy. I stood there awkwardly.
"Jordon can I talk to you a minute?"I nodded. We walked into her room and she shut the door.
"I don't want him here." She said once then repeated it at least 15 times then layed down on my lap.
"Hunny. I don't want him here either. Just because of what hes done to you."
"Can I stay at your house tonight? We can say were working on the project or something."
"Of course. We can roast marshmellows to." I added.
"I'll ask later. I .. i-i just can't comprehend whats going on right now and my life sucks right now."
"chris. Things will get better. I pinky promise. And I'll help you through it. The first time he does any thing to you let me know I'll knock him out in one punch." I laughed and pinky promised her. I never break pinky promises. ever and she knew that. So he better not hurt her because I can't knockhim out in one punch.
"thanks. I don't want to go back out there." She whispered to me.
"I know you don't. Lets just go to my house."
"okay." She grabbed a bag and started packing the sleepover essentials. Clothes, Toothbrush, Chargers, electronics, brush, makeup, shoes. We walked out the door to downstairs.
"Mom I'm sleeping at Jordons!"
"Okay have fun." She yelled out.
"Kay." She carlesly responded. We headed to my house. It was a scilent walk back but on question was still in my mind.
Why was he really here?
