" I wanna stay inside all day

I want the world to go away,

I want blood, guts and chocolate cake

I wanna be a real fake.. "

- Teen Idle by Marina & the Diamonds

No.

No no no no.

This can't be him.

My eyes are playing some tricks on me,right? RIGHT?

When our eyes meet I don't see any sign of schock or fear.
He's looking at me as if he hasn't seen me before.

Maybe he didn't? Maybe he has a twin brother who looks exactly like him and he was the one I saw at work and not my coach?

"Miss McCall! Do you need an extra invitation?!" I jumped at the sudden voice noticing everyone including Mr. Styles frowning at me.

"N-No Sir." How does he know my name?

"I don't have all day. Are you coming or do you want to do extra laps?" He demanded and I scurried over to everyone.

"Sorry Sir."

"That's what I thought." He murmered the smirk never leaving his lips.

"Avalynn? Baby? Come here and bring your oldman his beer will ya?"

I sighed closing my book knowing I wont get any homework done today.

Dad's acting rather nice which can only mean two thinks.

He finally got laid - which I doubted since he reeks of alcohol and rottem food.

Or he wants something from me.

I grab the can and walk towards the livingroom where he is sprawled out on our old leather couch.

"There's my girl. Come on sit down, babygirl." He grinned patting the spot right next to him.

I shuddered involuntarily and sat down with more space between us but he didn't like it one bit.

I could practically see the change of his mood when he suddenly jumped up his beer can spilling over the carpet again and grabbed me throwing me on the couch where he originally sat.

I whimpered seeing him tower over me dreading what was to come.

"You little brat!" My father yelled and seconds later I felt a stinging sensation on my right cheek.

"Dad I'm sorry!" I cried but he didn't listen and slapped me over and over again.
My skin felt completely numb by the time he stopped and his heavy breathing was the only thing that could be heard.

I cried silently curling up in a ball on the floor.

A loud sigh was heard and seconds later a door slammed shut indicating that he left the house but I didn't bother standing up falling asleep on the cold hard ground. (A/n: don't.)

"Mommy what is that?"

" It's a butterfly, darling"

"It's ugly I don't like it. Why does a butterfly exist?"

"Remember when I told you grandma went away and wont be coming back?"

"Yeah.."

"She became a butterfly baby."

"Really? Will you go away and become a butterfly too mommy?"

" Yes, sweetheart. And so will you one day. "

"But I don't wanna.."

I played with my butterfly pendant on my necklace which my mom got me when I was 10.

Memories of her and a little version of me sitting on a bench in a park in the neighborhood kept playing in my head and I had the urge to start crying again.

Sometimes the feeling of loneliness just completely overwhelms me.
Being an only child does that to you.

Meet me at Joey's in 10?

Quincy's text read.

I didn't have to work today so I decided a little bit if distraction wouldn't harm. I texted back and skipped up the stairs throwing on a cardigan and a beanie.

My cheekbones were slightly swollen but other that that it didn't look like I had to many bruises.
After applying a bit of foundation and concealer I grabbed my phone and keys and left.
I was not planning on going home tonight. I'll just ask Quincy if I can sleep over at hers. It's not like we never slept over on a school night - or like I never slept over at hers on a school night.

"Hey there, I was kinda bored so I thought you might wanna hang out. My parents are having dinner and my brother has some college friends over so I thought we can come here?" Quincy started rambling as soon as I saw her sitting on our usual table in the back.

" Uh, it's alright. I was craving a latte anyway" I smiled and she jumped up to ordee our drinks.

I sighed and stared around the small café looking for familiar faces. Not that anyone looked actually familiar.

I sighed and turned back around until something stopped me.

"Well, hello there." I could practically feel the smirk plastered on his face.

You can't be serious.

Hiii my lovely kitten!

I'm sorry for the wait but I had been quite busy with school - and I know it's not an excuse but I just couldn't do anything but now I'm back. ;)
