Intro
Your mother always told you to stay clear of the alleyways when walking home from school, and to never go out at night, and that’s because of the “gangs” that claimed those spots, that came out like vampires once the clock hit eight. And you always listened because you were the perfect daughter who kept her grades high and never wore a skirt above her knees.
But that ended when you met Thomas. It’d been an accident, you were leaving the food market after your mother sent you to grab some stuff for dinner, and you bumped right into him as he was coming out of an alleyway that smelled of piss. Your bags hit the ground, their contents spilling out. And when you saw his leather jacket and the cigarette he was holding, you couldn’t help but burst into tears. Startling him.
He panicked and picked up your bags, holding them and awkwardly guiding you over to the nearest bench. He rarely interacted with girls, and that showed. He hovered nearby as you started to calm down when you realized he wasn’t going to do anything to you. He offered to walk you home and the sun was setting, so you agreed. Which sparked something.
Everyday after that, he somehow always found his way towards you, sometimes offering a snack or a cold soda while pretending he didn’t like it or bought too much. This continued on for two months until he got fed up with how long it was taking you to get his hints. He came to your bedroom window and climbed in after you opened it when he wouldn’t stop throwing rocks. Kisses were exchanged and confessions were made. When Thomas left, you two were finally dating.
Thomas tried to be a good boyfriend, he really did. But mixing his bad home life and his friends that weren’t good influences wasn’t the best idea. He snapped sometimes, shoved you, then he’d crumbled and apologize when you broke. You always forgave him because he was the only one who made you feel truly loved.
It happened again when you come to him with a loaf of banana bread, excited to show him how well your baking was coming along. But he hadn’t been in a good mood and tried to subtly tell you, and you didn’t notice. Your voice was irritating him and that smell of banana bread was making his head throb. His body reacted before his mind could and he shoved you away.
You fell back, hitting the ground. Your bread was squashed, your right arm was scraped, and your ankle stung when you moved it. Thomas froze at the sight of you on the ground, hurt with tears welling in those pretty eyes. And, for a second, he saw his mom in your place and his dad in his.
No. Nonono. Baby, don’t cry. Thomas rushed forward grabbing onto you and pulling you up. His arms encased you as your sobs spilled, hands pressing against his chest. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.
He felt like throwing up, could feel that sour acid in his throat because this is the first time he’s really hurt his girlfriend. He was becoming exactly like his dad. And that thought scared him more than anything. His grip tightened as his gaze dropped down to your scraped and bleeding arm, to the way you leaned more on one ankle than the other. I would’ve loved your banana bread. I’m so sorry, baby. Please, I didn’t mean it.
