Sirens (Cheryl fanfic)

Chapter 81

The moment Cheryl pulled up by the street, Katy grab her arm before she could even open the door...Katy knows that if Cheryl might do something stupid, there's a big chance that Daniel will use it against her making her the bad guy...He could turn over the bruises that he made to Cheryl making it look like Cheryl's the one who hit Max...

"Katy, let go of us..." It was low and calm but Katy didn't listen and pulled Cheryl's arm making her look at her...Katy noticed her eyes had gone dark so she held her clenched fist in both her hands and placed soft kisses on it as tears flow down her cheeks...

"I-I know what you are capable of when you're like this...I know our daughter has been beaten up black and blue..But.." She look up and placed her hand on her cheek..

"This is not the way to take revenge...Remember we're still fighting for Max.. If you do something stupid today he might use it against you making you the bad guy....Please Chez..Let's just go home. I'll call our lawyers as soon as we get home.." Katy sniffed..She wants Cheryl to understand what she's pointing out..She doesn't want another trouble that may cause their only chance and completely lose their daughter..

"Please..Baby..Let's just go home.." Cheryl knows Katy was right..Daniel might turn the story around if ever she'll do something to him... But she can't help to feel the anger building up inside her..She was angry with Daniel, the world, and herself...

Cheryl let out a sigh and gave Katy a small nod..Putting Katy in ease as she sat back to her chair.. Cheryl turned the engine on and started driving..back home.

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

Cheryl is in her own world as Katy calls their lawyers..They need to set the date of the trial on monday...

Suddenly Cheryl stood up and made her way to the kitchen going straight towards the bar...She opened a bottle of vodka and drank straight from it...She wants to numb the pain she's feeling.. The thought of Daniel beating up her daughter makes her sick..She's still trying to figure out if Daniel was the one who broke Max's leg and not the reason she fell..

She takes another swig letting the liquid burn her chest..She was in tears as she buried her face in her arms..

You didn't even fought for me!

You didn't love me.

I HATE YOU!

Max's words repeating in her head over and over again like a broken record. She didn't expect so much hatred in her heart..And she hates herself for that.. Her words struck lightning to Cheryl's heart. Its not the first time Max said she hated Cheryl..But Cheryl felt this time it was different..Its like she meant every single word she said.And that is the reason why Cheryl is hurt and broken at the same time for the second time...

Suddenly Katy walked in the kitchen clutching her phone and stop in her tracks when she see Cheryl drinking the vodka like water...She lets out a sigh and walk towards her girlfriend.. In some cases Katy might've snapped at Cheryl by now for drinking again but this time, she lets her cause Katy knows she needs it...

"The lawyers said that they'll take care of it and we'll have the trial on monday.." She watches Cheryl's state. And its hurting her to see her like this..

"Katy, you can take a rest now you know..Just call it a day.." Cheryl sniffed as she took another swig..Katy shookher head and sat on the stool beside Cheryl.. She doesn't want to leave her all alone in thid state even though she's already tired.

"I will listen.." Cheryl turn her head slowly and looked at her which she returned with a sad smile...

"Max hates us.." She looked away.. and take another swig..

"She doesn't hate you babe.."

"No..She meant that..She meant everyword she said earlier..."

"We say some things we'll regret if we are angry..Babe, Max is just angry and hu-"

"No Katy..No..The way she say it..Its different..She meant it.." There's silence between them..Katy doesn't know where to go from here.. She's holding on so much stress already with her family that'd slowly falling apart and at the same time she has work in America... She's about to explode but she stays firm and composed when it comes to this situations..She needs to be mature on dealing with this..But for how long?

Max's P.O.V.

I'm wide awake..Its already one in the morning and my soul is still awake...I can hear voices from downstairs and I know its my parents.. I lie here on my bed in my dark room staring at the wall..I still haven't manage to put my top on and now, I'm freezing... I didn't have the energy to put it on..I'm all drained out...My thoughts came to the fact that I'll return back to Daniel's on Monday...What will he do next...I wish he'll just beat me up to death..So I wouldn't have to suffer the pain I'm feeling right now....

The pain that I want to go away so badly...I want to be happy again..But it seems so hard right now..I can't even let out a small smile.. I'm all out of those.

Suddenly, I hear my door creaked open letting in some liht coming from the hallway..My back is facing on the door so I can't see who it is.. Then I heard the door closed..and footsteps getting closer... I didn't move...

"Oh Max.." Its Mum...The tears flow down automatically ad soon as I hear her voice.. I felt the bed deepened behind me but I still didn't move..

"W-We're sorry sweetheart...God knows how hard it is without you here...Without you in our arms everyday laughing and fooling around...I wish it will all go back." Mum sniffed...If she only knew I wanted that too..but something inside me won't let me do it.

"Cause believe it or not...We love you..so much..too much that it hurts us that we're in a situation like this...Honestly, I think I'm gonna explode but I can't..I have to be strong to bring this family together again...Cheryl's broke...She's been drowning herself with vodka downstairs and I can't get her to stop.." Mam's drinking..I hate it when she drinks..She's not herself..

"I know you're angry and hurt physically and emotionally..And I would kill Daniel right now for putting those bruises on you if I can...But still I can't" A pang of hurt strike my heart...Its like she doesn't want to protect me..What is happening?

"I-I can't kill him because we're still fighting for you..." She sniff making me confuse... I thought she doesn't want to protect me and still she wants to fight for me...

"I promise with all my heart...that you won't return to Daniel's on Monday...We'll have a trial and that's the last...And I promise you'll go back to us..." I felt her stroke my hair and stopped making me froze...She then removed the duvet and gasp...

"Maxene...Baby.." She gently touched my good arm and turn me..My eyes travelled to hers and her eyes locked on mine...That's when I broke down...I didn't mind the pain..I just want to be held by someone..I just want to feel wanted..Just for this once..

"B-Babe you need to sit properly I might hurt you..." The feeling of her withdrawing her arm around me makes me panic...I don't care about the pain..I need love.

"Don't let go..Please..Don't" I sobbed clinging on to her ignoring the painful sensation running throughout my body.

"I-I might...I might h-hurt you."

"I don't care...Just don't let go.." I'm going crazy, I know that..I've slipped out of myself..But still I need affection..I need someone to make me feel better even though it just for a short time.. Someone who will say sweet words... Who will hold you until eternity..Who will fight for you until the end.And never leave your side..

"I-I don't w-want to be a-alone." I sobbed in her chest as her gentle hands softly stroke my back..its a bit painful but I couldn't care less..

"You are not alone..We're here and we love you very much..Don't you ever doubt that.." Even though mum said it..I'm still doubting if they truly love me..Cause I don't want to be hurt no more...I don't want to believe in something that isn't true or partly true. Cause in the end I would be the one who will be hurt...And I don't want that..I just hope its true..

Its true that they love me..
