Broken dreams (chim fanfic)

Chapter 32

(Today is friday)

I wake up at 5:30 and look over to mom who is still fast asleep.

I carefully untangle myself from from her and head to my room. I quickly change into medium washed jeans, a white sweater, with brown combat boots. I decide the outfit looks a little plain so I add a few brackets and a grey infinity scarf. I quickly do my makeup and straighten my hair. I grab a sticky note from the kitchen and quickly write mom and note since shes still asleep

'Morning! Hope you slept well, I didn't wanna wake you up because you must be tired from all the hardwork yesturday! Im taking the bus today and text me later if you wanna pick me up or you want me to take the bus back.

Hugs and kisses, Bri ❤️❤️❤️'

I stick it on her end table and grab my phone and back pack.

I head to the bus stop and see Ava "hey" I say and she turns around

"hey, I didn't know you lived around here"

"yeah, I live in the big white one at the end of the block"

"bri I think you have the wrong house.. Thats cheryl coles house"

"yeah I know its her house..shes my mom" I say and her jaw drops

"no"

"yeah" I laugh

"wow bri, you're lucky" she says in shock

"yeah I know" I smile toward my house.

The bus comes and we both get on. I sit next to Ava since the bus is so crowded and we take selfies and talk through out the whole ride.

Soon we arrive at the school. We get off the bus and head inside and as soon as we walk in the front door we see the rest of the girls.

We walk over to them and I see Kaitlyn coming my way.

"hey loser" she says

"hey wanna be" I say and all the girls laugh. "Oh you think your so hilarious" she shoves me "yeah I am but you wanna know something even more hilarious? This" I say and slap her across the face "should I hit your other face too? Or was that good enough" I say and the crowd that has now began to surround us starts to laugh hysterically.

I turn and walk to first period with savannah and Abril feeling proud of myslef for standing up to her, yet a little bit of guilt lingers from smacking her.

In the middle of first period my phone buzzes, its mom. I ask to go to the bathroom and take my phone with me. Once I finally get the bathroom I unlock my phone and read the message.

Mom- hey bri! Thanks for letting me sleep, and yes im picking you up😏💕 sorry for texting you during school.

Me- no problem and YESS! I have to tell you something..

Mom- yeah, is everything ok?😮

Me- can I call you? im in the bathroom.

Mom- okay

I click call and put the phone up to my ear. She answers instantly "is everything alright?! Are you hurt?" She says and hearing her voice makes tears comes to my eyes

"I got in a fight" I say tears streaming down my face

"aw bri dont cry, do you want me to come get you?" She says and I can tell shes close to tears as well.

"Can you?"

"Yeah I'll be there in 5 minutes" she says and I wipe the tears streaming down my face

"ok thanks, love you" "love you too angel" she says and hangs up

I quickly pull myself together and head back to class "tell the girls I went home because I didn't feel good" I say and savannah looks at me

"why are you really going home? Wait.. Bri have you been crying?" She says hugging me tightly

"I called my mom from the bathroom. I don't know if you know this but when I slapped her i felt really bad. I cant hurt people savannah. I've been beaten, abused, and bullied for so many years and I cant imagine doing that to anyone else. I know that pain and I don't want to put anyone through it" I say and she smiles at me

"you are an amazing person bri, don't let anyone or anything make you think differnent of that" I smile at her

"thanks sav" the classroom phone rings and the teacher answers "ok ill send her down right now".

"Brianna you're going home" she says and I smile "ok" I get up from my desk and leave the classroom.

I hurry down the halls needing to be in moms arms, I leave the building and run to moms limo. I quickly climb in and she pulls me onto her lap "what happened?" She says stroking my hair.

"You're gonna be dissapointed in me" I say with tears streaming down my face and tightening my grip on her.

"Oh me poor baby, are you hurt?" She asks looking all over my face. I slowly pull my shirt off my shoulder and show her the two big bruises that have now formed on my shoulders. Tears begin to fill her waterline and she holds me tighter against her "Did you hit her first?" She asks calmly and I shake my head

"she shoved me so I slapped her. Please don't be mad"

"bri, I'm not mad. Im proud of you for sticking up for yourself. Im gonna give that girl a piece of my mind" mom says and I freeze

"what are you gonna do?" I say nervously

"Im gonna stop this, no body messes with or lays a finger on you and gets away with it" she says and I hug her tightly

"i love you so much mom, thank you" I say and she smiles

"no problem sweetheart"

We decide to head home for a little while so we can confront her tonight at her house.

After a silent ride we finally pull up infront of our mansion. When we walk in I put my backpack next to the couch

"im gonna go take a shower and then I'll be back down" I say and mom nods.

I take a quick shower and change into sweatpants and an oversized hoodie. As im combing my hair I hear mom scream and something that sounded like glass break. I quickly open the bathroom door and bolt down the white stair case.

"Mom?! Where are you" I say and I find her in the kitchen about to punch a wall and a broken plate on the floor. I run over to her and grab her wrists

"dont do it" I say trying to prevent her from injuring herself.

She looks at me and I can tell shes to the point of anger if it was possible there would be steam coming out her ears.

I slowly and cautiously wrap my arms around her, she tightens her grip on me and sighs "whats wrong?" I ask and I feel her grip tightens more as she tried to hold in the anger

"he fired us" she says and I hear a few muffled sniffs. I rub her back gently and walk her over to the couch.

We sit down and I hold her tightly in the embrace "why did he fire you?"

"He said nobody could understand us, I looked uncomfortable and I don't belong there" she says the saddeness evident in her voice

"thats not true, hes wrong. Don't believe any of it, you're so much better than that" I say.

"T-thanks" she says trying to steady her voice

"I know you're crying.. You can let it out, its better than punching a wall you know" I say and I can feel her smile

"I just dont get it" she says as a sob escapes her lips.

" its alright, he's just an arse" I say and she begins to sob loudly, I hold her tighter and gently stroke her hair she holds onto me as if im going to leave.. Which I won't...ever
