[All the while Crystal was helping her own mother clean the house, it wasn’t until she had gotten up the fourth step she felt her Pokegear shake. She put the laundry basket under one arm and use her free hand to answer..ah a message? oh it’s form Gold, she rolled her eyes as she clicked the ‘read’ button, completely expecting a dumb text from him about something he did that was so “AMAZING” he had to tell her. But that wasn’t the case. The message was short but it was telling her more than she was seeing. Hurrying up the steps she texted him back]
SMS: Coming over. Be there in half-hour Ok? ✩✩✩[Dropping the basket on the floor she hurried down and shook her house slippers off and into her running shoes] Sorry Ma! Gotta go! “Where are you going?”
Gold’s! [and out the door she went, slamming it behind her as she grabbed her mother’s bike and hopped on, making her way to Goldenrod.]
At least the fast response gave him a brief smile. He was finally able to read the sender and sighed. So Crys was coming over in half an hour. He better try and make himself at least presentable. After a few more minuets Gold slowly rose to his feet, shuffling to the bathroom to wash his face. He still looked like he had been crying but right now he didn’t care. Words still nagging in the back of his head like “deliquent”, “brat”, “no-good”. It only made him want to start crying again. He couldn’t though, just couldn’t, not with Crys on the way.
He sighed and slapped his face a few times, pulling himself togeather and making his way back into the main room, unlocking the door and sat at the kitchen table.
SMS: Ok, front doors open. Just come in. Thanks.
