It was 3 in the morning. Your parents? Drunk. Arguing. Screaming. You didn’t knew what to do, your best friends wouldn’t pick up your calls because they’re asleep.

You decided to call Ivan, your childhood enemy who knew how exotic your parents were. You called him under tears.

“Ivan..”

You just mumbled as he picked up your call. He knew exactly what was going on. You heard a sigh on the end of the phone

“Your parents..?”

He just mumbled quietly.

“It’s alright I’m here..do you want me to stay on the phone with you? You can also come over if you want”

He said in a calm voice. I was just crying silently

“I wanna come over…they’re yelling and throwing things…I just hear them scream at each other”

You said while crying. Your heavy breaths could been heard in the call. He sighed once again

“I’ll wait in front of the door alright..?”

You arrived at his house. Crying. Completely down and stressed out. Ivan just walked towards you and hugged you, stroking your hair softly

“It’s alright princess…you’re safe with me…”

He whispered sweet nothings into your ear to calm you down as you hugged him back tightly
