Perri and Mitch- the sixth book special to series 'Perri and Me' about Perri Kiely.

Chapter 4 Part 1

IMPORTANT MESSAGE BELOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

***hey guys, so I'm really sorry for the wait. I have a big dance event coming up at the weekend and my focus has been on that but, here I am again, typing this.

Anyway, I'm holding a competition because I like using my fans in my books. There's going to be a new character which will star the winner, of course!

All you have to do is write a minimum of a paragraph based on:

- Mitch's POV when he saw Kay, his new daughter for the first time or

- a paragraph on Perri's POV when he saw Mitch and Amber kiss on live television. Obviously, it doesn't matter which one you do. You have to send me a private message and enter your name.

It doesn't matter who you are except you have to be a girl.

I will notify you in a part of the story, when the competition is coming to a close and then will reveal the winner in a later part.

If you win, I will message you further on about appearance, personality and everything like that.

The new character will feature quite a lot later on in the series so it's a good opportunity. The last time I did this, a girl called Skye won this, and she was featured in previous books in the series if any of you remember.

Good luck guys and I hope you enjoy this next part.

Xxx

Amber***

Pel's POV:

I'm proud of myself.

I'm glad I did that.

I sit in my car with my hands on the wheel, with my heart racing through the roof.

Sometimes I think I'll wake up and all this will be a dream.

I close my eyes. I see Reid's face and my heart breaks. I see Amber. I see me hitting her and I want to throw up.

What the hell did I just do?

But I'm just so angry.

At everyone.

And most of all, angry at myself. I think back to the recent moments I've spent with her. Threatening her. Hitting her. Forcing her into doing things she doesn't want to do.

And then I realise.

I'm just like him.

I'm just like my Dad.

I put my head down on the wheel and collapse into tears.

Where am I even going? What am I running away from?

I step on the accelerator without knowing and the car moves forward. Half of me wants to crash this car and die. The other half wants to run back into the house.

But I can't do that...

I start driving. I was going to go to Mum's but I can't go there and look her in the face knowing I nearly killed Amber. I abused her. I treated her the way my father used to treat my Mum.

I turn towards the street to Ashley's house. I park the car and start running, forgetting about my suitcase.

I knock on the door several times. Suddenly, it feels like the air is leaving me slowly. And I feel sick to my stomach whenever I think about Amber.

I knock on the door continuously, shaking. It's about 2:30 in the morning now.

Then Francessca, Ashley's wife, opens the door. She has her golden hair down her shoulders. The first time I saw her with Ash, I was angry and confused. That he spent time with her. That he had something he was passionate about outside dance. I didn't know how you could possibly love something that wasn't dance.
