Your P.O.V. I adjusted the microphone, while Pet meticulously arranged her drum kit and sheet music. “Nicky? You set?” I asked, glancing over at her. “Yeah!” she replied, stacking her guitar sheets neatly. Preston gave us the signal, and I began to sing.
[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
When the last notes faded, a wave of applause erupted. “Now! We can relax!” Pet exclaimed, dropping her drumsticks and collapsing onto the couch in our music room. “It’s funny, Y/n… in band, you’re pretty open, but not anywhere else… not home alone with me…” Pet murmured, her gaze lingering. Suddenly, clapping echoed from the doorway. I turned to see Travis. “Beautiful~” he said, his voice soft. I rolled my eyes. “Come with me, Y/n!” Travis said, reaching for my hand. “Preston! Help me~” I whined, half-joking. He chuckled. “Bye!” he said, and I was swiftly pulled out the door.
We ended up in front of a mall? “I thought I’d take you clothes shopping!” Travis explained, smiling. I shrugged. We entered a clothing store, heading straight for the men’s section. “Aren’t you going to the women’s side?” Travis asked, raising an eyebrow. “I like men’s clothing,” I said flatly. He raised an eyebrow. I sifted through the sweaters, searching for a nice F/C one. I found it, then spotted a t-shirt that read, ‘Don’t bother me… lazy day.’ Travis squinted at me. I then walked into the women’s section and he started smirking…why? I grabbed a tank top, a crop top, and a new dress for a band music video. Travis took me to a changing room…weird. I tried on the tank top, stepped out, and he gave me a thumbs up. Then the crop top, another thumbs up. Finally, the dress. He gave a thumbs up, and then his nose started bleeding? I shrugged it off. I didn’t bother trying on the menswear; it was for lazy days. After paying for our haul, we returned to Travis’s house. We went to his room, and I sat on his bed. “Let’s try to have feeling in your voice!” Travis said, his tone serious. “Ok.” I replied bluntly. “See, that’s NOT what you want to do!” Travis exclaimed. I nodded. “Pretend I’m Pet! Act like you do around her!” Travis instructed. “You don’t look like her,” I said flatly. He sighed. He left the room, returning moments later wearing a sweater, a red and brown wig, short shorts, and fake eyelashes. I burst into laughter. “What are you doing!?” I asked, tears welling in my eyes. “Seee, that had feeling!” Travis said, doing a terrible impression of Pet. I laughed harder, tumbling off the bed and rolling around on the floor. “Now… How you doin uh, Gurlfriend~” Travis asked, still in character. “Fine, Travis,” I said between fits of laughter.
~~TIME SKIP~~ “Ok, now that you have feeling… tell me about Greg,” Travis said, his voice back to normal. I hesitated, then nodded. “Well… Greg is my ex-boyfriend… and he’s… well, let’s see… sexually harassed me, abused me, said if I talked to anyone with feeling, I’d get slapped or even worse… he said he would kill Pet… and my guy friend…” I said, my voice cracking. “One day… Pet found out about this. She made me move in with her, which was one of the best things that has ever happened to me. And Greg wasn’t so happy, so… so we called the cops on him… well, Pet did. Greg said if I told anyone about what had been happening, he’d kill me before anyone could prove anything… so Pet called the police. Pet threatened him, and Greg thought I called the cops.” I said, a tear escaping. I expected a pickup line or something stupid, but… he hugged me. He pulled me close to his chest. “Sorry for asking, Y/n…” Travis said, his voice shaky. “I-It’s fine…” I replied, finally feeling something. “No! It isn’t… I wish I could have done something back then!” Travis said, anger creeping into his tone. “And what would you have done? Pet said she’d use her shovel and glass. I know that would somewhat work… but what do you have?!” I asked, my own anger flaring. “I’d… I’d fight him! Throw punches. I don’t know!” Travis replied, his grip tightening around me. “Can… we stop arguing?” I asked, and he nodded, loosening his grip but pulling me closer. I gave a weak smile. Man… he actually cares?
~~TIME SKIP~~ “Come on!!! If we don’t hurry, we’ll miss a good ground!” I whined at Pet, who was rolling off the couch and slipping on her shoes. She grabbed her suitcase and camping gear. I smiled, and we walked out to the car. “And where are you two going?” I heard Travis ask behind us. “Camping,” I replied. “Nice~ ya getting a hang of the emotion thing!” Travis said. “Some days are worse than others,” I shrugged, stuffing our bags into the car. “Well… I’M COMING WITH YOU!” Travis stated. “No. This is only Pet and I’s trip.” I said, shouting a bit. “Awww, please!” Travis begged. “No.” I replied. “Pleeeeaaase!” he said again. “Nnnnooooo.” I said, opening the car door. Jazzy jumped in, and I followed. Travis made a puppy face. I sighed. “Fiiine. Get in the damn car.” I said. “Yaaaay!” Travis exclaimed. He climbed in, and a little later, after Pet talked to someone, Zane joined us. I started driving… this is going to be a LONG camping trip, isn’t it?
Pet’s P.O.V. Jazzy snuggled in my arms. “Awww~ Zane, look how cute Jazzy is!” I said. “He’s pretty cute…” Zane mumbled. I giggled and leaned against him. I saw a little bit of red creep onto his face; I shrugged it off and took out my phone, starting a random game. My eyes soon started feeling droopy. As I was about to close my eyes, I saw Travis kiss Y/n’s cheek. I grinned and closed my eyes, drifting off into dreamland.
~~FLASH BACK/DREAM~~ “I swear! If I see your f*cking face here ever again, I will take my shovel and shove it down your throat!!” I yelled at Greg, who growled at me. “Y/n! Why did you snitch to the police! When I get out!! I-I will make sure your whole family is dead, you no good rotten piece of dirt!” Greg yelled as he was forced into the police car. I sighed. I wanted to tell my friend what happened; I always go to him, he’s so nice. I’m afraid he might be in love with me…nah! I walked to my friend’s house. He opened the door, his dark grey eyes, light orange hair, freckles, and the scar on his cheek always stood out. And he’s MUCH taller than me. I smiled, and he let me in. I explained what happened. “So he went to jail… Preston? Are you listening?” I asked, waving my hand in front of his face. “Yeah… sorry… it’s getting worse… Pet…” he said. “I know… but you just gotta try to block it!” I said sympathetically. “Yeah… yours is the only one I can’t hear sense you have the fire rock.” He said, pointing to the necklace, a weird heart shaped lava looking rock. “Just try your best to ignore all the thoughts!” I said cheerfully. Preston… he’s special. He can read minds. Our friend Nicky can shape-shift, and his younger sister, Haley, can tell the future. I’m safe from Preston reading my thoughts sense I have the fire rock.
~~TIME SKIP~~ I walked to my stepbrother’s house. “Hello Pet… ready for another whipping?” He asked, tightening the belt he was holding. “Oh hell no! You wanna play games with me today!?!?!? I got ma shovel out back so you better f*cking put down that belt or I am NOT afraid of shoving it down your throat far enough for me to reach your belly stand scoop anything out! So you better back off!” I yelled before storming out of his house to mine. Now that that’s taken care of, I need to help Y/n out. I gave her time alone so she could think things over; she should realize she’s free now. She WAS trapped, but now she can be free, free from Greg, like I’m free now.
