Rothwood High

Chapter 7

Justin’s P.O.V

My dad just walked straight past me and stumbled out of the door. I’m used to it. I go to the bathroom and clean up my face and take off my blood stained shirt. I look in the mirror and see the scars all over my chest and back. My dad is an alcoholic he has been ever since my mum left us, I was only four.

At night he would down bottles of Whisky and take his anger out on me. Because he’s done it to me since I was so young I don’t really think anything of it. I’m used to it I guess. I pick up my phone from  my bed and click it on. I have a text from Naomi…

Naomi- ‘I guess so. Pick me up around 9:15. I always have to be fashionably late.’

Justin-‘Sure, no problem. Anything for you.’

I look at my watch and notice its 9:09 im going to have to leave now. My heads still bleeding but hopefully it will stop by the time I get to Naomi’s.

Naomi’s P.O.V

Ansel pulls up to my house I unbuckle my seatbelt, I look over to Ansel and smile at him. “I know I haven’t been giving you a lot of attention lately. I just want you to know you’re my no.1 and you always will be. Never forget that.” He says to me.

“I love you baby.” I reply

“I love you too.” He says with a smile.

He leans over and kisses me running his hands through my hair. I really do love him.

I get out of his car and begin to unlock the front door to the house. I notice a notification on my phone, it’s a missed call from Justin. I listen to his voicemail as I enter my house, he’s asking me if I want to go to a party with him later tonight. I text him back saying yes. As I walk through to the living room to tell my mom my older sister taps my shoulder.

“Where are you doing tonight?” she asks me.

“Just goings to a friend’s house. He’s having a small party, nothing much.” I reply.

“I’m guessing you’re going with Ansel…” she says.

“Why do you assume I would be going with Ansel? I don’t need a chaperone I’m freaking 16 not 5.” I fire back.

“God” she storms off.

I decide I’m not going to tell my mom she probably doesn’t care anyway it’s not like anything’s going to happen.

Justin texts me to let me know he’s outside I make my way down the stairs and slam the door behind me making sure my mom and sister hear. I walk quickly and get into his car and he speeds off.

“So what’s happening” I say.

“I’m going to get pissed that’s what’s happening.” He replies, he sounds stressed.

I stick my hand out in front of him and shake it “It’s a deal” I say.

He laughs and smiles at me “I didn’t think you would ever do such a thing, perfect Miss Naomi Hudson.”

“Who says I’m perfect” I reply.

He speeds up. were now going over 90mph. We finally reach their house. I could hear the blaring music from a mile away. There must be about 100 people in here. All I can smell is weed and alcohol. I kinda like it.

“Come, meet some of my friends.” Justin says as he grabs my hand. It gives me goose bumps.

“Naomi this is Jack and Cam. They go to Broodwitch High” he says.

“Ooh Cali boys” I reply with a smirk.

“Not for much longer were moving here after the summer and we’ll be going to Rothwood.”

“Nice” I say as he passes me a cigarette and a bottle of vodka…
