a little trigger warning
sally walked through the halls of his old home, the walls seemed to shift and move as he made his way to the living room where his dad was sleeping. Sal crept by hopeing to not wake up his father.
He blinked and in a flash his father was infront of him. making the small boy fall to the ground with a thud
"you did this!" roared Henry holding a bottle by his waist "you killed her, its your fault!" he yelled as Sal tried to scamper back away from him "it should have been you, god damn it" He screamed before swinging the bottle towards sal
Sal woke with a jump, tears pouring down his face as his eyes searched the room for his father. when he finally knew it was clear Sal slipped off the bed and went to his closet. Opening the door and turning on the light, Sal grabbed his biggest hoodie and slipped it on. The hem fell to his knees before he sat down on the floor, bringing his knees to his chest. letting the hoodie cover him completely other than his face which he hid in his hands
"fresh start, fresh start..." Sal whispered under his breath "he'll be different, he said he'll be different" Sal cried harder until his tears faded and he calmed down.
He got up and grabbed his false eye and mask. he slipped his eye in and clipped his mask on leaving his hair down for now before going out to the living room, Henry was laying on the couch with a few bottles scattered around him. Sal quickly and quietly ran by him and left the apartment. Not knowing where he was going but he wanted to leave without waking his dad up.
"shit..." Sal said under his breath as he clicked the button to summon the lift. "maybe theres a park nerby" He said as the doors opened he stepped in. He pressed the "1" button and waited for the doors to open again. He leaned his back against the wall and sighed softly, hoping that he was right about his dad and thier fresh start.
The doors opened with a ding. As Sal stepped out he bumped into the tall brunett from yesterday, Sal stumbled back a little before being caught by a strong arm.
"woah man careful" the brunett said as he helped Sal back onto his feet "you're the new guy in 402 right?" he asked
"yeah, its just me and my dad up there" Sal said looking up at the brunett, looking over his face a little "I'm Sal Fisher by the way"
"I'm Larry Johnson. Me and my mom live in the basement" Larry said looking down at sal "She's problay around here somewhere cleaning something"
"cool, well I guess I'll see ya later Larry" Sal said as he started to step out of the lift again, dodging past Larry
"yea, you can come by anytime you want, if you need a cardkey just tell my mom if you see her, she always has extras" Larry said right before the doors closed and the lift desended downward.
Sally realized his face was hot and that he was blushing as he walked out into the cold air. Why Sal didnt really know but he started on his way to find a park.
