He turned around and looked at me, and for a heartbeat, I wondered if I had made the wrong decision, chosen him over my gut feeling, but I figured I could always walk out..
Flashback
After the nurse finished tending to me, I was sent home..
The next day, after my parents finsihed getting at eachother's throats and didn't threaten to finish eachother off, I stalked off, to the nearest...gym.

"Okayyy, got home early huh?"

"They sent us- me home.."
"Huh.." She looked unconvinced but nodded, beckoning me inside..
I smiled at her before wedging myself inside the garabage room..
"WHAT THE FUCK TESS?"
Connor whisper-shouted..
"Shhhhhh, I don'twantmymumtoseethis?!!"
"Alright.. But I need my gift.."
