'You and I go hard on each other like we're going to war,' One More Night by Maroon 5
Life got tougher ever since you and Steven parted ways. He had to deal with his mother's death, and his father's insane ideas. He had no control over his situation...
"We... We kinda have a problem with him. Do you think you can help us?"
"What kind of problem? I just played with him when we were kids, we never talked about deep stuff."
"He's been acting up and we have no idea why."
You place one hand on your chin.
"I don't know why you guys are asking for my help. When Steven acted up, he just wanted his parents' attention. I've heard that's not the case anymore."
The whole room goes silent. It's true that Steven has been through some dark times, but he always got on his feet. Not anymore.
"Look, it's not that I don't want to help you. It's just... We don't really get along anymore, and I don't want to stir up some old stuff" You mutter, hugging yourself. Suddenly, the room got a bit colder.
"Thanks anyway" May smiles as she hands you her water cup.
"But..." Wallace tries, but May shots him down with her eyes. "Thank you, (Y/N)."
"You're welcome. I'll walk you."
Wallace stands up against his will. He still had questions, but May wouldn't let him. She respects your privacy.
You open the door for your visitors.
"Thank you again, (Y/N). Sorry if we interrupted anything" May says with a kind smile. You smile back. She's always been nice to you.
"If you remember anything, don't hesitate to tell us" Wallace says.
"WALLACE!" May censors.
"Sorry" He mutters.
"See you around!" May waves as they walk away.
"Yeah, maybe..." You whisper to yourself as you close the door.
"Steven, you're boring" You cried.
"You're too sensitive!" Steven snapped back.
Your eyes started to water. Steven didn't care. He was on one of his days.
"And you're mean! Mommy!"
You ran back to your mom and grabbed her leg, tears streaming down your face. She picked you up.
"Oh, sweetie. What happened?" She asked.
"Steven is mean! I don't like him" You cried on her shoulder. She held back her laughter by pressing her lips together.
"What did he do? I'll talk to him."
"He said I was too sensitive."
"Oh, no. He's mean!" She frowns. You didn't know, but she was crying with laughter. "Let's go talk to him."
Your mom didn't need to do much. You showed him your tongue, he cried in apology, and five minutes later you two were running around his garden. Your mom laughed at the scene.
You wipe your tears away.
Damn, I miss them so much...
••• Final A/N
Um, this is embarrassing... I promised myself I wouldn't post another chapter until next week, but it's exactly 1:16am and I have nothing to do, so there ya go. Geez, I'm a mess right now... I feel like deleting this book and OTOOF (and let's be honest my entire existence), so don't be alarmed if this book disappears. I'm going through some heavy stuff... P.S.: No, I'm not saying this because I want attention and sympathy, I'm just venting because I'm friggin tired of feeling like crap. So instead of ranting and cursing like a sailor, I'll just share my favourite Pokémon of each type. Here ya go. If you want to do it as well, you can find the link at the bottom of the image.
