i drive them both home in silence.

when we arrive, i pull up on the drive and park it next to the third family car that doesn't get used often.

i undo my seatbelt as i turn off the engine and open my door, they follow me to the front of the house.

they watch as i attempt to open the door with my keys.

"need help?" april finally asks

"you think?" i say annoyed almost throwing the keys at her

she unlocks the door just fine, making it look easy. i walk in the house behind her and kick my shoes off.

"go get dressed." i say to april as phil closes the door

"what? i am." she replies

"nicer, we're going round emmas." i say

"but-." she tries to say

"do i need to pick it for you?" i interrupt her

"ugh." she says storming off upstairs

"so i'll go and change-." phil says looking at me

"thanks." i say sighing

"you okay?" he asks

"yep." i say putting on a fake smile

"alright, see you in a bit." phil says walking up the stairs

i sit down on the shoe box after closing the lid, i put my head in my hands. i was getting too many flashbacks. the memories were flooding back, one by one.

one of my exes dumped me for emma once, it must of been atleast 4 years ago. i could remember it so well, because he was abusive.

if i didn't do what he said, i'd get hurt. and if i told anyone, i'd get even more hurt.

so i couldn't tell anyone, all these years, i've kept it to myself.

what happened with april in the car, just brought it back. it felt like it was four years ago, it felt like i was with him. it haunts me to this day. 

i take a deep breath and push myself up, i go upstairs and knock on april's door. i open it ro see her wearing one of her beautiful dresses our nan had bought her.

"you look really pretty." i say making her jump slightly

i walk in and sit on her bed.

"i'm sorry about downstairs, i didn't mean to shout." i say

"it's okay, i like dressing up anyway. but i don't get it, why?" she asks me

the reason was, because i was for the party later. and this was a good way to cover it up, so when we go round emma's, i'm not the only one.

"me and ems just thought it would be nice too." i say, "i've got to go and get my dress on."

"bye." april says as i leave her room

i shut the door behind me and bump into phil, tripping over and falling on the floor.

"oh my god i'm so sorry." he says

"no it's fine." i say

"let me help you up." he says holding his hand out

i take it as he pulls me up.

"thanks." i say

"no problem." he says

"you look nice by the way." i say looking at what he was wearing
