I was taking out the trash when my phone vibrated in the shorts I had under my skirt. I kept it on me at all times so that I could read William's message immediately he texted. I had wanted to stay in touch with Harry so he could give me updates all the time but I would be putting myself at the risk of getting caught. I had to be smart about how to hide it under the double clothing.
I quickly crouched behind the huge dumpster and fished it out. It was a notification of a message from Instagram. I hurriedly opened it knowing it was probably William. According to what Harry had told me he should have been been woken up a few hours ago.
Miss me?
William!!! Oh My God. Harry told me what happened. Are you okay?
Yeah no broken bones but I have to be on bed rest for a few days.
I told you to be more careful.
I know Angel. I'm sorry. I'll be more careful from now on.
You're still going to continue skating?
Yeah it's something I love. I can't just stop because of one accident.
But William.......
Are you busy? Can we video call.
I'll text you soon. I'm hiding behind a dumpster right now but I had to know how you're doing.
Okay Angel. Take care.
I should be saying that.
We can say it to each other.
🙂🙂 I'll be back soon.
I'll be waiting.
I switched off the phone and slid it back in my pocket. I stood dusting myself up and came face to face with my aunt who was looking at me with scrutinizing eyes and a stiff posture. My heart started beating fast knowing I had been caught. I started preparing my mind to come up with a plausible enough excuse.She looked at me from head to toe with her menacing eyes and I feared for my life. She wouldn't beat me in public to protect her image but she would definitely do it when I got home from work.
"What were you doing behind the dumpster?"She sneered at me and I stepped back scared.
Come on brain think fast.
"I tripped and fell."I answered meekly.
Really that's all you could come up with? I scolded myself feeling hoping she fell for my sorry excuse.
"You really are clumsy. Tidy up and get back to work, I don't pay you to sit around."She spat and her statement ticked me off wrong.
"You don't pay me."I mumbled under my breath.
"What did you just say?"She asked threateningly and I took a step back.
I could above taken that opportunity to stand up for myself but I would end up in the streets hungry and homeless. That was definitely much worse than what I was going through.
"Nothing aunt."I whispered looking at my shoes to avoid meeting her gaze.
"Thought so. Now hurry back inside, we have customers waiting."She demanded.
