1K SPECIAL

This is not a chapter. Its more of a flashback. Its a bit more of an insight into Charlie's life earlier on. :')
And thank you so much for 1,000 reads!!❤❤
-warning- this chapter has quite a lot of swearing.

~~9 years prior~~ (Charlie was 10)

"Muummmm!!!" I yell out.
"What do you need petal?" She replied.
"Help me set up the table for the party!" I shout as I gather together each of my friends' lollie bags and place them at their seat at the table in the back yard.

I have all my friends coming over for my 10th party at 11:30. Joshua, Henry, Jasmine, Emily, Courtney, Leela, Ollie and Georgie. I only have 8 close friends because everyone else in my year aren't that interesting and I've known most of my friends since Kindy.
"Sure darl, let me finish icing the cake first, okay?" My mum replies.
I run inside to see my cake.
Wow!
"Thanks mum!" I say grinning at my amazing cake. It was completely Cars themed! My favourite movie, Cars only came out this year but I've already watched it so many times! I knoe most of the lines off by heart! I'll never forget it and I think it'll be one of my favourite movies for a long time.
My cake was amazing, it was Lightning McQueen with his paint from Radiator springs and my mum made it all herself! There were even trays of cupcakes with cake toppers on them, all Cars themed. I was so thankful that my mum put in so much effort for me.

I hear a yell from the front of the house.
"Oi, Marcie! Get the fuck out here now!" My father yells. He hasn't really ever been a father to me. He's always out either getting drunk or smoking weed. I can't even tell many of my friends. They don't all completely understand what weed was. I thought it was a general fact for everyone to know, since I've grown up with my father using it all the time.
Only Emily and Henry knew what it was. Their parents smoke it sometimes.
My mum rushes in to see what he needs and I follow behind her, but not as fast. I am scared of my father so I want to keep as much distance as I could.
"What the fuck is this?" Dad screams, holding up mum's phone. He presses the buttons to bring up a screen with messages.
" 'Will you pick me up from my house to take me to work?'
'Sure, we can get coffee after work if you like?' " he reads out.
"Its just Mick from work." My mum defends herself.
I didn't know why mum didn't leave my father yet. Whenever she tucked me in to bed, she would tell me that one day we would leave him. It hasn't happened yet.
"Mick from work? Thats what they all fucken say you good-for-nothing slut!" My father screams with anger.
I gasp and my father turns to look at me.
"And what the fuck are you looking at?" He asks me.
"Nothing." I say quietly, looking at my feet.
"Well you can fuck off then." He says, shooing me away fiercely.
"Doug! Do not swear at her like that! It's her 10th birthday party and she has some friends coming around." My mum yells at him.
I look up at her and then to my father.
He grunts and leaves the house. I hear him shut the car door and drive out the driveway.
I burst into tears and run into my mum's arms.
"Shhh. Its okay petal. Soon, he won't bother us anymore." My mum says soothingly.
"How mum?" I ask, still sobbing.
"I'll find a way to get rid of him. I promise. I love you Charlie." She says.
"I love you too mum." I reply.
She pulls away and wipes away my tears with her thumbs.
"Today is your birthday party, celebrating you. He will not ruin it." Mum tells me.
"Thanks. Should we get back to preparing the party?" I suggest.
"We shall." Mum agrees, putting her hand out.
I gladly take it and we walk back to the kitchen to grab all the food. I check the time on the microwave and its 11:00. Only half an hour to set up the table.
Mum made a pass the parcel present up so we can play and we have pin the Tow Cable on Mater. We actually went full out Cars themed. We even managed to find Cars balloons.
We tied a few to the mailbox and trees outside.
I put all the food out and made it look nice while mum put the plates on the table and put cups and plastic knives, forks and spoons. All Cars design.
