Sirens (Cheryl fanfic)

Chapter 80

I fell asleep on the ride home..It was the only time I got sleep without anything haunting me...Its like I'm in my day off today..A day off from work, from the punches and the kicks..It sends relief to me but I know it will only last for two days....Just two days. And then I'll be back.. I know this would be hard...to hide the bruises I'm keeping cause honestly, even though my leg, arm and back are all bruised and damaged..My whole body is in pain. And I can't be touched cause I might either scream or cry in pain..Just the feeling of me standing and walking hurts me alot what would happen then if they touched me...I might come clean..

I was woken up by a soft voice on my ear making me open my eyes and saw Mam...I found myself string at those brown orbs..hoping to find some kind of emotion towards her...But nothing...Maybe because she's the reason why I'm like this...why I'm getting beat up..cause she didn't fought for me...She threw me away just like that...

I closed my eyes as I slowly turn helding the pain in... She slowly step back opening the car door wide for me as she handed me my crutches...I took it without looking at her and slowly climbed out of the car which sends a sharp pain on my lower back and both my arms specially my right arm..Its like thousands of elephants are stomping on them all at the same time. Making me drop my head down as my vision blurried with tears...

"Baby..Are you ok-" As soon as her hand landed on my back, I moved away..

"No...Please..I'm fine.." I sniff and with that I started walking towards the door. I know I've upset her even though that's not entirely my intention..But I need to get away..I just want to ho to bed and have a peaceful sleep...

------------------

We're sat here in the front room...All the three of us..cause Mum said we need a talk..But I know in myself that there's nothing to talk about...I'm just here cause I'm following what the judge said...that I'll stay here for the weekends..If only I could go back to the orphanage, I would. But there's rules to follow.

"So how was it..." It  was a pathetic question for Mum to ask...I know they're just asking me this cause they don't know how to start the conversation...

"M'fine.." What am I suppose to tell them. That I wake up so early just to clean the whole house...That if I mess up even if its just a small mistake that I'd get beat up until I'm like a weed... That would be a story....

"We missed you..." I didn't respond and just busied myself getting more intrested on the fabric of my top...I don't believe them...How could they miss someone they already threw away...

"Didn't you miss us?" I didn't respond again..Honestly, I miss them..I miss them so much..But the anger and frustration tops all of that making me feel nothing towards them like people I know but a total stranger to me when it comes to relationships..That's what I'm feeling towards them..

"Maxene..." Mam whispered with a shaky breath..

"Can I go to sleep..." I whispered already taking my crutches and pulling myself up..They didn't respond and just looked at me tears daring to come out and I guess silence means yes so I sighed and turn around heading for the stairs just to be stop by arms wrapped around me and at the same time a sharp and I think the most painful feeling had shoot throughout my body making me let out a scream as tears flow down my cheeks..

"LET GO OF ME!" I yelled making them shoot up and let go of me..My body gave in as I slide down to the floor totally in pain..

"Maxene!" I hear gasps and saw them surround me as I sobbed hiding my face away from them...Then I feel like I was back on that front room with Daniel hovering over us with a smirk on his face..

"GO AWAY! DON'T TOUCH ME!"

"Max what's happening.." Mum said in panick but I ignored them.. I just want to be alone..I want to prove to them that I can do this on my own..
