1975 || Crawley Sussex, UK*

You and Robert have been dating since you were 14. You both are now 16 so it’s been about three years. You two live in separate houses, unfortunately. His family loves you and always makes sure you are comfortable. They’re also very kind to him. Your family, not so much. Your family always got into huge fights which really made yous sensitive to loud noise and you’d become emotional.

PRESENT.

It was 9:22 PM and your father and mother were having a huge fight. They were breaking things and screaming. You tried to drown out the noise by covering your ears but it wasn’t working. You were starting to get emotional and you were about to have a panic attack. You grabbed some of your things and snuck out your window, you were crying from the loud noise and the situation in general, you didn’t even know why they were fighting in the first place. You then had an idea and decided to walk to Robert’s house since it was only a few minutes away.

You made it to his house and gently knocked, not wanting to startle his family if they were asleep. After a few moments, Robert came and opened the door, concern etched on his face. He immediately brought you in. He cupped your cheeks and looked down at you.

"Oi, what’s wrong? Are you alright?"

He said, his voice filled with concern.
