I Don't know how i do it

chapter 2 - the past comes back

I was getting ready to go and leave a note for my family when my window was opened and Melisa aka my best friend stepped through and sat on my bed room floor shaking soaking wet  looking into her lap like a naughty school girl “ Whats happened now” I said half way kneeling half way lying down, “ I..i..i..i..i..i don’t know” she stuttered if I have to slap the answer out of her I will I really need to go but I cant leave her crying on the floor in my bedroom . so I slumped down in front of her and lifted  her head so I could see her face she had a red nose, running mascara on her cheek’s, smeared lipstick and a black and blue eye “Mel what happened you can tell me anything you know” I offered a gentle smile which was automatically ignored see what I do for people put myself out there and get shut down. “Fine then get out my room and get off my floor your making a mess” I opened the door and signalled for her to leave “ ok ok I’ll tell you” she deeply breathed out I looked at her with a ‘go on then face’ she normally doesn’t respond to this face but I thought I would try it this once. “ well.. you know the boy we met on holiday  blake well I planned to meet up with him and it got of to a good start but then he asked me to do things” I looked at her shocked “what type of things” she started crying “he pushed me into a bush but I slapped him and he started calling me things like bitch and worthless then I blanked out I cant remember what happened but I opened my eyes and some how I ended up on the tree trunk, and he was pulling my hair telling me to get up and he said he’s coming for us with his mates then I grabbed his phone and tried to call you and tell you to get ready but he slapped it out of my hand and held me tightly on my arm and wisphered something I couldn’t quiet make out but it had something to do with run away and police” the room fell silent as she held her arm close to her body I lent over and hugged her close to my body. This has happened before to her she always meets the wrong boys who abuse her and use her and I cant believe I wasn’t there to stop it. “so what did you want me to get ready for ??” she looked up at me with blood red eyes like she had cried a river before she got here. “ we need to go away for a few days but by the look of your massive suit case I think you’ve got something planned.”  We both started laughing, had a light blub moment she can come with me to the isle of Wight sure it’s a squeeze but its safe. “do you want to come with me to my nans” we both shared a look which meant we had the same idea. “Sure but….” I glarded at her to know what has she come up with now “I won’t have any clothes!!” we both burst into uncontrollable giggles “is that all you can think about clothes what about your ticket it’s not like you have money do you” she looked at me with disbelief “clothes are important unless you want to be caught in Asda with your jammies on and fluffy pink slippers”. second thoughts I better a pack some more clothes well the case is big enough so why not? Money is the problem I already booked my ticket but what about hers unless I put her in the suit case too “ have you got any money in your purse” she looked at me like I said lets play sleeping lions in the middle of the road “Eeerm let me have a look” she tipped her purse upside down andjust over 20 pound’s fell out in 2 tens and silvers and pennys fell out “Is that enough” she genuinely asked, the only thing I could do was smile. “Yea just about” I grabbed her hand and lifted her of the floor, I brushed her off and gave her a make up remover wipe she looks so much better with out make up her olive skin glowed and she scraped her hair back into a neat pony tail with a red bow around the bobble.  She had a box of clothes in the bottom of my wardrobe for moments like this ,She had a pink polka dotted dress on which went nicely with her white convers and some cute matching bracelets and earrings the rest of the box I tipped into my suitcase. “are you ready yet” she groaned I had just finish applying a light natural amount of make up and some clear lip gloss I allowed my hair to flow down in big curls and pick a pair of earrings to wear my nike blazers and my black skinny jeans and my purple cropped tee and my obey cap and I was finished “yeah yeah im coming” I whisperd as we stepped out looked left and right just as we where about to open the door Jaime jumped in front of the door “where are you ladies going so late” then he looked at me “well lady and homeless man that somehow found his way into my house”  then he done his signature smirk as I tried to push past him. Mel started to blush I could see it in her cheeks it was obvious she has a major crush on my brother “get out my way or im going to be late” I moaned he shook his head “ I need to know why my sister is in such a hurry to exit the house at 10pm” I know he will get it out of me someway or another,“ ok if I tell you, you have to promise to keep it a secret” he nodded in agreement “ ok were going to Narnia to save the land because large cockroaches have taken over ,now I told you can you MOVE out the way” Melisa looked at me shocked and Jaime started laughing “ sis if your really going to Narnia its in your closet not the front door so your going in the wrong direction” I sighed there was really no hope of getting out on time unless we told him but before I could come up with an excuse Mel spluttered out “ were going to the isle of white for 4 days I hope u wont miss us” we both looked at her then back at each other he then questioned me “so your going to nans any pacific reason” I shook my head “just you two” I nodded my head “ does mom know” I nodded my head woah I am such a good lie rim not showing anysigns or anything mental highfive “ ok well you have my mobile  number if anyone hurts you or your stuck tell me and ill sort it out” we all smiled and he let us walk out gave me a credit card “only use it for emergency’s and don’t waste the money OK” then he grabbed Mel’s arm and she jumped and started breathing heavy I couldn’t calm her down I don’t know whether her love for him is incontrollable or she’s having a flash back “ its ok don’t worry he’s not going to hurt you” I whispered into her ear I glared at him he looked back trying to figure out what was going on “ im so sorry Mel but I couldn’t help but ask about your arm, who done it to you” it fell silent untill I said “ me I’m a rebel wahahahaha” we all  started laughing then till next doors taxi pulled up so we thought they wouldn’t mind if we borrowed there taxi, I said goodbye and gave him a hug he told me he will call me tomorrow and to remember stranger danger, im 17 geez not 7. We jumped in the taxi and told the diver to go straight to the airport while he turned up his music and tuned out. “Thank you” Mel stared at me like she was trying to read my emotions as we slumped into the back seats. “for what” she looked at me as if I just asked her what the longest word in the dictionary was  “ I wondered whether it was for being such an amazing person or lying to my brother when he asked about your arm” then we burst into endless giggles because Flo rider whistle came on then we started singing in the highest voices we could “no but really thank you if your brother found out I don’t know what I would do” no neither do I he is so over  protective over us you would think he is our dad. After endless talk about what we are going to do in the isle of wight ,We pulled up to the airport and ran up to our departure station.
