05➪MY BAST*RD FATHER

My mother finally showed up. "Hi, mom," I said softly when she walked up to me. She looked me up and down before walking to the front door. I followed behind her. Maybe she'll let me in. "Where are you going?" My mother turned around to face me. "In the house..." I said while clutching my bag.

"Didn't I say not to come back?" My mother said as I winced from the venom dripping off of her words. I turned away to give Kageyama a soft smile as he looked at me confused. "...but I'm your daughter..." I said whispering to her so Kageyama wouldn't hear. My mother looked at me with a disgusted look on her face, "No you're not," My mother said as I opened my mouth to talk, "but-" I was interrupted by my mother.

"You're a daughter to your bastard father, you look and lie just like him." My mother said while my mouth dropped. "I'm still your daughter though, whether you like it or not," I said harshly. I dropped my bag as I held my cheek when my mother slaps me across my face. "Hey!" Kageyama yelled as he ran to my side. Why are you still here?

I looked up to my mother, still holding my cheek that stung when I touched it. "WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO!" My mother yelled as Kageyama looked conflicted as his eyes flicked to my mother and then to me. "Look at you, hanging out with a boy at night, a slut just like your father." I looked at her as anger flooded my vision, "HIM? I JUST MET HIM A FEW DAYS AGO!" I said pointing at Kageyama.

My mother gave me another rough slap on the other side of my cheek as tears filled my eyes. "FUCK YOU!" I yelled as I gave her the finger. My mother lunged at me, throwing punches. Kageyama soon grabbed her by the wrist, restraining her. My mother yelled profanities at me. Talking about my father, It's not my fault he didn't love you. I took the keys from her bag and ran to my room.

I took more clothes and all my savings. Guess I won't be here anymore. I ran back downstairs to see Kageyama trying to calm down my mother. I pushed past my mother and she grabbed my hair, "BITCH GET OFF OF ME!" I yelled as Kageyama peeled her hands from my hair. I stuck my middle finger up at her as I walked away from the house. I hear the front door slam as Kageyama called out for me. "WAIT."

I stopped walking. I refuse to look at him like this. I kept my gaze on the floor, waiting for Kageyama to catch up. "What the hell just happened?" Kageyama asked. Oh, nothing, it's just that my mother has been verbally and physically abusing me for years. I slightly let out a giggle at that thought. Kageyama bent down to me, so we're eye level.

"Um, are you okay?" I flicked my eyes to him as I said, "Do I look okay?" Kageyama quickly stood back up and took my snarky remark as an answer. "I'm sorry, that was rude," I said to Kageyama as I looked back at the ground. Kageyama hummed, accepting my apology.

"Uh, we should go to the pharmacy, for... you know," Kageyama said as he pointed to my bruised cheeks. I nodded and proceeded to walk with him. We walked in silence all the way to the pharmacy. "I know a good brand we could get that works really well," Kageyama said while looking at my bruises. I nodded and he led the way to pick up the cream for my bruises.

...

"Thank you," I said while walking out of the pharmacy. Kageyama rubbed his neck and looked down at me. "Yeah, it's no problem." Crap, where am I going to stay now? I mean, I could go back to that sketchy motel. I took out my phone from my pocket. Of course, it died. "Hey, can we stop somewhere I need to charge my phone?" Kageyama nodded and he decided to stop at a cafe.

I plugged my phone in and waiting for it to boot up. "So," Kageyama started to say as I looked up at him. "What happened to your arms?" Kageyama questioned. The lights in the cafe are brighter than I thought. You can easily see all the details of the scars on my arms. I looked at my arms and then at Kageyama, "Someone I used to know did this." Kageyama's eyes widen, he didn't expect me to actually answer.

My phone finally turned back on as I proceeded to call my aunt. Ring ring ring. My aunt finally picks up, "Hello?" Her high-pitched voice said. "Hey, auntie this is y/n," I said as I took a deep breath in. "I was wondering if I could stay over at your house for a while..." I said. There was silence between my aunt and I. "I'm sorry baby, we're on vacation right now." My breathing hitched as I exhaled sharply. "Ah, it's okay. Anyway, goodnight aunty. Have a safe trip." I said to my aunt before I put my head down and sighed loudly.

After ordering a few drinks, Kageyama and I decided to leave the cafe. "Do you have a place to stay?" Kageyama questioned as I looked up at him and shook my head. "I don't have a lot of family members that live around here," I said before looking at Kageyama. "You can stay at a friend's house," Kageyama suggested as I chuckled. "Sir, I don't have any friends," I laughed at the assumption while Kageyama looked at his feet.

"Don't stress about it," I said while lightly punching his shoulder. "Uh, I'll probably find a motel to stay at," I said as we continued walking to nowhere in particular. "You know..." Kageyama started as he looked at me. Kageyama snapped his head to look forward as he continued, "You can stay at my house," I stopped in my tracks. Should I?

"How do I know you won't do anything to me?" I asked with a serious look on my face. Kageyama looked at me with wide eyes, "I wouldn't do anything, so don't worry." He said as I nodded my head. Maybe I should like I don't really have anywhere else to stay.

"We have a guest room and a guest bathroom. My mother wouldn't mind also." Kageyama finished as I stopped and looked at him. "Are you sure? I don't want to be a burden." I said as Kageyama took his hands out of his pockets. "Yeah, I'm sure." I nodded and continued walking. Fuck it. I sighed and looked up at Kageyama. "Fine, I'll stay at your house."

Kageyama and I walked in the direction of his house. His house was only a few doors down from mine. How come we never see each other? Kageyama fetched his keys from his pocket and unlocked his door. "I'm back!" Kageyama yelled as he took off his shoes at the door. I stood at the door looking into his house, questioning whether or not I should go in. Kageyama then looked at me and signaled me to come in.

"Pardon the intrusion," I muttered.
