Krystynn
I shrugged Ethan off of me and rushed into the bathroom. I took a deep breath and looked at myself in the mirror. My long and curly dark hair was matted and sticky with blood. My eyes had dark circles surrounding the underside of them from crying and sleep deprivation. I was a mess. I looked down at my forearm and realized that I was still bleeding. I walked out of the bathroom and I looked up to see Ben. He stopped in front of me and observed the wound. "Oh wow, do you have more gauze?" he asked me. "Uhh... No actually I was trying to find you to see if you had some" I said. "Actually I think I-" Ben began. "Ben I need to talk to you" Ricky said.
Ben
"Hey Krys, there's still some gauze in the first aid kit in the center council of my car. Why don't you go out and wrap and disinfect your arm, okay?" I said to Krystynn. "Okay Ben" she said. "Bye Ricky" she said. He scoffed. A look of hurt and sadness flashed across her face as she turned away. I grabbed her arm and looked her in the eyes. "Don't do it." I said to her. "Don't do what?" she replied. "You know just as well as I do what I'm talking about" I said. "I promise I won't" she said. "I'll be checking you just to make sure, okay?" I said to her. She nodded and turned around and left.
"I don't want you hanging around my sister" Ricky said. "Excuse me?" I replied. "Look Boykewhich I'm not doing this for her. You're a good man and I don't want her making you as crazy as she is" he said. "Isn't that my choice not yours?" I replied. "Look-" he began. "No you look Ricky. Your sister has obviously been through a lot since I met her when she first came out of Bob's house and I mean that. It messed her up. And she wasn't the only one who was self-destructive because last time I checked you were with every girl in a five mile radius. Your sister needs you to be there for her physically as well as mentally" I said. "Well I'm not housing that kind of crazy here" he said. "Then Krystynn will move in with me. Adrian moved out so she can stay in Mercy's room." I said.
"And you will not hear from us again. She can come get clothes as necessary and Amy will be contacted if anything else is needed." I concluded. "Works for me" he said. Just then Krystynn came in the room. "Hey Ben I just finished wrapping my arm-" she began. "Get your stuff Krys you're coming with me" I said. "But why?" she asked confused. "Ricky wants you gone" Amy said.
Krystynn
"Wait Ricky you're-you're kicking me out of the apartment?" I said hurt. "I can't have you around my family" he said. "That doesn't include me now is that right? What about you Amy? Or Ethan? Did either of you think it was important to plead my case?!" I yelled angrily. I couldn't believe that they all screwed me over. Amy at the floor and Ethan couldn't look me in the eye. "Go to hell. All of you except for Ben and John" I said tears now spilling down my cheeks. I started to sob right there, standing in the middle of the floor. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I looked up and saw Ben. "Let's go home Krystynn. I'll come back and get your stuff later." Ben said turning me and escorting me out of the butcher shop. He released me and I looked at the ground putting a strand of hair behind my ear. "Can you please just take me home" I said he nodded and we walked towards his car and got in. We drove to his condo in silence. When we got there he showed me the way to my room. We arrived in his room. "You know where Mercy's room was right?" he asked. "Yeah I think I do" I said. I turned and walked in the room.
"Hey Krystynn" Ben said. I turned and faced him. "I just wanted to say I'm sorry for how this all turned out" he said. "I know Ben" I said. I laid down under the covers. It all finally hit me and I began to cry. I had been abandoned again. I was sobbing when I felt two arms wrap around me from behind. "It's okay…. It'll all work out Krys" I heard Ben say stroking my hair. I turned over and buried my face in his chest and he rubbed my back. "I love you" I thought I heard Ben say. I pulled apart and looked up at him. He leaned down and kissed me. I closed my eyes and I felt him pull away. A look of horror passed through his features and he quickly left the room. I stood up and punched a large hole in the wall before walking past Ben, and right out the front door.
