The life of Krystal by Meghan Allen (tools of titans ebook .TXT) 📖

he didn’t believe me he said that I was lying. I tried to tell my step mom because, surprisingly she’s really nice, but every time I tried my dad just gave me this look and I would back off. And yes he has done it since, then he stopped for a while when I was 14 cause he got a girlfriend, but they broke up in July and he started up again.” She begins to cry. I hug her and ask “What about going to the police.” She looks up at me startled and said” NO, you can’t do that please if I do he will hurt me worse.” I hug her and say don’t worry he won’t hurt you anymore.
Krystal come out and we all look at her she says “I have a small fracture in one of my ribs so the wrapped me up and they said that the bruise doesn’t seem to serious no internal bleeding.” Jeremy says “I want to rip that guy’s head off.” Zara says “What about pressing charges” “Me and Sean talked about that when we were waiting for the x-rays but it’s not worth it if they don’t get found guilty then the beatings get worse and people are too scared to go against them.”
Sean comes out with a weird thing on his nose he says “It’s defiantly broken but luckily we came here right away they put it back in place and I’m not going to need surgery or anything.” I just realized I’m still hugging sky as I let her go and she goes and gives Krystal a gentle hug. I can’t believe her step brother and her father what pricks.
Afterwards I take Sky home first even though I don’t want to leave her in that place but she assures me everything will be ok. Then I drop Zara and Zayden at Zayden's house, “Zara whose picking you up.” “Mom I think.” She replies. I head home thinking of all the crazy stuff that happened this afternoon and the things that I’ve learned. Most of all I can’t stop thinking about her and those blue eyes. When I get home I go to my room close the door and turn on the music Bodies by Drowning Pool blasts through my I-home. Then I get a text from Sky.
Sky-hey mason it’s me I just wanted to sat thanks for today. 
Me- it was no problem, trust me.
Sky-just thanks you’re a really nice guy and you make me feel safe.
Me- Sky do you maybe want to go on a date tomorrow after school.
Sky- Really…sure I’d love to.
Me- Great I’ll see you tomorrow.
Sky- KK can’t wait.
I begin working on my homework I get it done in the mater of 30 minutes I’m actually a lot smarter than I lead on then I head to the shower. Since we had the hospital thing today by the time I get out its 9:30 I put on some boxer and flannel pajama bottoms. Them I look at my phone I have a missed call from Sean and a number I don’t know. Then I look I have 3 text messages from sky.
Sky- Mason, he here I locked my door but he keeps banging on it I don’t know what to do.
Sky-HE GOT THE KEY MY PARENTS ARENT HOME I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
*20 mins later*
Sky-I’m heading to the park please meet me there if you can.
I run to my car and head to the park its dark but I can see her sitting under a tree I go over to her and I see the razor blade him her hand and the fresh cuts along with the scars on her wrist. I pull her up and walk her to my car I sit her in the passenger seat I go over to the driver’s side. I grab my kit from the back and start to clean off her cuts and then I bandage them. I pull her into a hug and then I look into her eyes and I can’t help myself I kiss her. But then she kisses me back her tongue brushes my bottom lip asking for entrance and I give it to her our tongues our mouths move to gather they feel like they were meant for this. We pull way and lean our foreheads together then she looks at me and says “Why are you shirtless.” I can’t help but chuckle. “I just got out of the shower and then I got your texts.” That’s reminded me I never called Sean back so I grabbed my phone and called him.
Me-“Hey dude what’s up”
Sean-“Did you talk to sky she was trying to get a hold of you, Krystal called you and you didn’t answer then I figured you didn’t know her number. Krystal said that Sky seemed really upset.”
Me- “Yeah I’m with her now I’ll talk to you tomorrow.”
I hung up the phone and looked at sky. She was on the phone. “Yea dad I know but…I’ll be home soon…ok…love you too.” “I can’t believe that ass called my father.”
“Do you want me to take you home or you could stay at my house.”
“Thanks Mason but I told my a dad I was going home.”
“Ok ill drop you off then.”
I pull up out front her house and there’s no car in the drive way. Sky sees the worry on my face. “My dad said he would be home soon” she tries to assure me. I grab the shirt from the back seat and throw it on “What are you doing” she asks. “I’m going to walk you to the door so this guy knows not to mess with you anymore.” We walk up to the door holding hands and then when we get up to it opens and he is standing there. He stares at her and says “Whose he?” Sky looks at him and says “Derek this is Mason…my boyfriend.” At first I’m caught off guard but she looks at me and I squeeze her hand approvingly and she smiles. I look at Derek and I say “Nice to meet you.” He looks me up and down and then walks off mumbling. Then we see the car coming up the drive way. I look at her and say “Do you want me to leave” she said “No ill introduce you to my dad and step mom they really aren’t bad people.” He look at sky then at me and nicely asks “Whose this” “Dad , Kathy this is Mason my boyfriend.” I hold out my hand to shake theirs “Hello sir nice to meet you.” They both shake my hand her step mom smiles at me and Sky and her dad seems pleasant. Then he says “Nice to meet you too, were you coming in” I reply with “No sir I was just dropping Sky off we went to the park for a little while.” “Oh ok well I’m sure I’ll be seeing a lot of you.” And he smiled as he went into the house I give Sky a quick kiss and a hug and say “Good bye.”
I get home the same time as my sister and she says “Where were you and why are you in your pajamas.” Once we are inside I tell her the whole story. And she says “That’s great and horrible at the same time….well goodnight …I’m glad to see you happy bro.” Then I went to bed.
