~Kari’s POV~
It had been two days since my cast was removed. It was Saturday and my dad, Tony, and I were on our way to a park to walk around a bit. We walked around in a few circles before my dad said that he needed to go check out some blue prints of a new house they were going to start at the customer’s house which was nearby. Me and Tony went to go sit on the swings. We were messing around like little kids when suddenly a dog ran up to me and started licking me. I giggled at the dog. I began to pet it when a guy came running towards me. I’ve got to say, he wasn’t bad looking.
“Hey is this your dog?” I said not taking my eyes off it.
“Yea, sorry about that. He ran off.”
“Don’t worry about it.” I said with a smile.
“Hey so how come I haven’t seen you before?”
“Oh I don’t live here. Just here for a walk.”
“Oh well maybe you can give me a call and I’ll show you around.” He said taking my arm and writing his number and name on it. Tony stood up quickly from the swing he was on.
“Kari maybe we should go.” Tony said tugging on my arm.
“Oh umm is this your boyfriend?” the stranger asked starting to back away.
“No he’s not.” I said quickly. Before I could react, I was being dragged away by Tony as the guy, who’s name was Axel according to my arm, was staring at us in confusion. I tried to free myself from his grip but he was too strong. He finally let me go as we reached the parking lot. Right when I was about to begin yelling at him, my dad pulled into the parking lot.
He rolled down the window, “Hey, I need to go order the materials for the next house. I’ll drop you guys off at home on the way.” I got into the car quickly and closed the door wanting to leave as soon as possible. The car ride home was completely silent. We finally reached our house and my dad unlocked the doors for us to get out. I got out and ran to the door bursting it open. I heard Tony hot on my trail and I tried to run up the stairs. Just before I could reach the door knob to my room, I felt someone grab my arm and spin me around.
“You don’t actually like that guy do you?” Tony nearly yelled.
“Why the fuck do you care?” I spat back.
“Because. You can’t just go whoring around with random guys you don’t even know.”
“So now you think I’m a whore?!” I was so furious I thought flames would literally form in my eyes.
“What I think is that you’re a dumb little girl that doesn’t even know how to take care of herself!”
“Well I didn’t tell you to look out for me! God you’re such an asshole!” I turned around and entered my room slamming the door in his face. I locked the door and heard the door knob wiggle as he tried to open it.
“Kari, you know I didn’t mean that.”
I ignored him as he tried to talk to me through the door. I jumped on my bed and buried my face into a pillow. I felt tears of anger start to roll down my face as I just laid there.
