Hanging Tree

Chapter 7

Violet

I got up and found myself sleeping in a weird place. I turn to my sides and checked my surroundings. It finally stricted my mind that I was at Calum's. But where was Calum? He was no where here.

I got out of bed and changed into my last night's clothes. I walked out into the corridor, hoping to find Calum. But he was no where to be found. "Calum?" I called out his name as I walked downstairs. No answer. Maybe Michael would know where Calum was. "Mikey?" I shouted. No answer again. I walked into the kitchen hoping I would find a note or something. There was nothing. Did Calum just really leave me like this? He completely just ditched me like this? I sighed to myself. Of Course this would happen. I mean its me. I'm Violet Brown. Why did I think someone like Calum would be friends with someone like me?

I got into my car and drove away. I realized what's the date and I remembered that it would be my time of the month soon. I drove to the nearest store and got myself a pack of tampons.

Just when I thought my day couldn't get any better, I bumped into Zayn. "Hey there Violet,"he greeted me. I didn't answer him but just looked away. "Hey, its not nice to be rude you know."

I looked up at him and said "Look Zayn. I needa pay for my stuff and leave so would you please excuse me?"

Zayn smirked at me and said, "What do you have there?"

"Nothing."

He snatched the pack of tampons from me and laughed at me. Out of a sudden, I saw Harry walk up beside Zayn. Great.

"Dude, look who I found here," Zayn said to Harry.

Harry saw me and saw the thing Zayn was holding.

"Wait, is she buying these?" Asked Harry.

Zayn nodded and him. Harry snickered at me.

Suddenly, Harry pushed me to the ground and said, "Where's your boyfriend now?"

His foot stabbed into my stomach. I groaned but didn't say anything. Minutes passed by with them kicking me. No one was there to help me this time and the cashier was far away.

They finally left me with cuts and bruises everywhere. My lip was bleeding again. I paid for my things and left quickly. I drove home and ran up straight to my room.

I locked my door and laid on my bed, crying. Why does this happen to me? Why does everything have to be so hard? I don't know how long I laid there crying and being lifeless, but when I looked out of my window, the sky outside was already dark. I sighed and didn't move. I didn't want to move. I just wanted to stay here. Forever. I don't want to see anyone again.

My thoughts were interrupted when I heard a knock on my door. It was probably my maid. She knew things like this always happens to me. She's seen my cuts and bruises. She would always wait till I was ready and then talk to me. That's why I always loved her. I ignored the knocking on my door until I heard a familiar voice.

Could it be? Is he back?

I ran towards the door and opened it. I was right. Words couldn't describe how happy I am. I ran into his strong and muscular arms. Having him here finally felt like home. Eliot. My brother, Eliot Brown is here. I cried into his shirt as he held me tightly.

"Heyyyy. Shhh. It's okay. I'm here," he whispered to me.

I looked up at him and he gasped at my condition.

"What happened to you? Do I need to kill anyone? Who hurt you?" He asked. He had always been this protective brother of mine. Never over protective but just protective. I love him so much for that.

"Nothing happened. I'm fine."

"Violet, you're not. Tell me."

"Its nothing Eliot, trust me."

" Who is this person who hu-"

I cut him off by saying, "Eliot. Please. I don't need things to get worse. I'm fine."

Elliot sighed and nodded without another word. He let go of me and said, " What about we get you cleaned up and then we ask Rosie to cook us something. Okay?"

I smiled and said "Okay."
