Its me against the world

Betrayal

Chapter 5

“Charlie I’m home now.” I sang out loudly from the front door shutting it quietly behind me. “Yeah mad.” I could hear the sarcasm dripping from her voice and I knew it was going to be a long night. She just knows how to push my buttons and make me mad. And recently I just can’t help how bad my temper actually gets.

As I walked down the hall I noticed her sitting in the lounge texting away on her phone. She was still in her PJ’s but still managed to look as hot as ever. “You have no fucking idea how worried I was about you Peter. No Idea at all. Even your friends were worried about you. But you know what? As always you don’t care about anybody else you’re more worried about yourself.” Her tone came out so vicious but yet she continued to stare at her phone the whole time she spoke.

“Charlotte. Please don’t speak to me like that. You don’t need to be so rude.” I carefully let out trying not to sound too rude, well it did sound rude, but I mean, she was being a bitch to me. “Me being rude? I’m the one being rude? Well what about you huh? Couldn’t even make a phone call to let me know if you were okay or not!” she was getting madder and madder with every word that slipped out of her mouth. And I knew I wouldn’t be able to control myself for much longer. “You’re a dick Peter James Jackson a complete and utter dick!” she yelled right in my face each and every word dripping with hatred. She turned and began to walk away but no. it was my turn, she really has it coming for her now it’s my turn to talk.

I wrapped my hands around her wrist and pulled her around and dragged her back to me. “ouch peter that hurts sto…” I quickly cut her off. “You think you own me Charlotte? That I belong to you? Well you don’t own jack shit. Everything you have is because of me, you’re a dumb bitch that can’t do anything right. So what if I didn’t call you to tell you I wasn’t coming home. I’m a grown man and I can do whatever the hell I feel like. You’re not my mother you don’t tell me what to do or when to do it.” I took a deep breath after what I practically just screamed at her.

I could see tears start to swell up in her eyes but I really don’t care anymore, I’m over everything about her. “You’re 17 you’re not even 18 yet. Stop thinking you can control me. I’m the one that controls you.” She put her head down and I knew she was crying. “look at me when I talk to you Charlotte!” she just kept her head down and didn’t say a word.

I raised my hand and I threw it across her face. I hit her face so hard that she fell to the ground. She just laid there and held her face. But I wasn’t done talking to her. “Get up. Get off your knees Charlotte. Everyone knows you’re a slut anyway. GET UP” I screamed at her. Why was she not listening to me? She just continued to sit on the ground with her head down. Without hesitation I pulled her hair so she would stand up and look at me. I once more hit her across the face almost knocking her over, but she didn’t fall because I still had hold of her hair.

After 5 minutes of yelling at her I threw her to the ground and walked down the hall into the bedroom and slamming the door. I quickly opened it again to yell out to Charlotte. “Oh and by the way. I’m going out tonight. Don’t know if I will be home.” And with that I was in the bathroom getting ready to go out for another night.

“Oh and by the way. I’m going out tonight. Don’t know if I will be home.” He yelled out, slamming the door behind him.

I just sat on the floor tears running down my face. I knew I could be a bitch to him, and I knew that I could be clingy at sometimes but I just couldn’t help it. I just need to learn to keep my mouth shut. It only seems to get me in trouble when it comes to him.

I got off the floor and walked to the spare room where I had some clothes I could put on. I found a pair of denim short shots and a short black singlet that showed off my belly ring and put it over the top of my blue and black bikini. Once I was dressed I quietly walked down the hall and out the front door making sure not to close it too loud and get away from the house before Peter noticed.

Walking down the street all people are doing are just staring at me, giving me funny looks. I put my head down trying to decrease the attention I was getting. I never liked attention. I walked for about 20 minutes down streets and roads and different places until I finally reached the spot I was aiming for. The beach. When I was little my mum always took me to the beach. It was one of my happy spots.

flashback

I ran down the hill and finally found what I was looking for. The sand and water. I threw my shoes off as quickly as I could and ran as fast as I could through the sand and down to the water. Turning around I can see mummy and daddy walking down holding hands looking so happy. When they finally see me looking they wave to me and continue walking down the sand to the water. Mum came running up behind me and hugged me and dad came and joined her picking me up and swinging me around. “You ready to go in the water baby girl?” my mum softly lets out kissing me on the cheek. “Yep I’m all ready to go mummy. “ I quickly let out with a big grin on my face. Mum and dad both grabbed my hand and we all walk out into the water. It was so nice. It wasn’t cold but it wasn’t too hot. It was just nice. Where we live we don’t have nice beach’s well the ones in America I had been to were nowhere near as nice as the one I was at now in Australia. It was the best one I had ever seen. It was my new happy place.”
