You knew otis very well, he was a good friend and you grew a crush on him. He lived in the motel across from you and no doubt could he hear the screams of your mum when she yells at you.

The whole argument started when your mother simply told you not to hang out with- and in her words- that 'Otis boy' you couldn't believe that she was telling you to get rid of your only friend ever...

"All you could've said was 'yes, i wont talk to him again mum' but not you're making it difficult!" She yelled in your face and you glared at her.

Tears ran down your cheeks yet you couldn't care less. "Im not getting rid of the only person who cares for me!" You yelled back, voice cracking noticeably; you rubbed the tears away but your mum smacked them down and slapped you across the face. Hard. You knew it would form a bruise.

"DONT FUCKING TOUCH ME!" You shouted, your throat sore from all the fighting. You let out sobs, head hurting from all of it too. "Oh will you stop the crying, suck it up and stay away from otis lort, do i make myself clear?" Your mum said, her voice dangerously low; but were you afraid? Nope.

"No, im not going to stay away from Otis, like i've told you before- he's the only one who fucking cares! I hate you, i hate everyone, stay out of my motherfucking life" and thats when you stormed out. Everyone outside looked at you and stared but you just carried on heading to the pool.

When you got there, you saw Otis chilling by the pool. He was shirtless and his feet were resting in the cool water. You let out a small cry expecting it to be quiet but of course, the curly haired boy heard it. He rapidly turned and when he saw your face..his face grew concerned.

He carefully made his way to you and gently pulled you into his arms; resting his head on yours. "What happened?" He whispered softly, you let out small sobs. "My mu-mum" you stuttered and started crying again, he gently shushed you and began swaying you both back and forth.

After you calmed down, he took you back to his motel- luckily his dad wasn't there. You both cuddled on his bed; you resting your head on his warm bare chest as he traced circles into your skin

"Sh-she doesn't want m-me to hang out with yo-you.." you admitted and buried your head into the crook of his neck. "B-but i ca-cant leave yo-you!" You said and he cradled your head to his chest.

"I know, i know..i dont want to leave you either. So you're gonna stay with me from now on okay? My dad wont be here for awhile, so i want you to stay understand?" He explained, pressing gentle kisses to your cheeks and caressing them softly. "T-thank you" you murmured and he lifted your chin so You could look at him.

"I love you, okay?" He said, his tone was serious yet so soft. You smiled and he did too. "I love you more" You replied- y'all weren't even together but after this, you consider yourself a young couple.
