Fall (ON HOLD)

Chapter 3

I woke up with my head pounding, I was still laying on the kitchen floor. I could see out the window and the sun was just coming up.

Was I really knocked out that long? Wow, I stood up and I had lean against the counter, I got really dizzy.

I stepped on something sharp, and very quietly cursed under my breath. There was glass all over the floor, that's probably what my dad hit me over the head with. I got the broom and stared cleaning up the mess on the floor, the good thing is that my dads not going to be here for 2 days, so I don't have to deal with him.

After I finished cleaning up the mess my dad made, the glass on the floor, beer bottles all over  the kitchen. I saw my phone on the table

I picked it up and saw that I has one message, It was from that boy Liam that I met at the Grocery story.

It said:

Hi Hazel, It's mee liam :)

~Liam

I didn't really feel like texting him back, I had to much of a headache to answer back.

I went upstairs to my bathroom and stripped down and got into the shower.

The Slightly cold water falling down on my bruises, it felt nice.

After just standing in the water for about an hour, I got out and put on some blue jeans , a long sleeved blue shirt with my white converse.

I went downstairs to the kitchen to get some ice for my head that was throbbing,

 I got the ice and grabbed my phone from the counter and went into the living room to watch my Favorite show glee. They were showing repeats.

A little while later I decided to text Liam back.

Hi Liam

~Hazel

About 20 seconds later I got a text back saying

Hey whatss upp?

~Liam

Not Much Just watching T.V., you?

~Hazel

Just talking to you :)

~Liam

Cool

~Hazel

Can I ask you something Hazel?

~Liam

Shoot

~Hazel

How come you didn't talk to me at all the store yesterday? you were really quiet.

~Liam

I knew he would ask about this eventually, Should I tell him why?

No I just met him.

But I cant just stop texting back.

Oh gosh, I'm fighting with myself.

I guess I'll just tell him about my mom dying part, but not my dad

*LIAMS POV*

Oh no, she's not answering.

Did I scare her away with that question?

Maybe its a really personal problem.

Maybe she had surgery in her throat and something went wrong and now she can never talk ever again, and now she's Probably crying because I'm the heartless guy who asked that question!

*HAZEL'S POV*

I finally decided to text back like 20 minutes later

Sorry to keep you waiting, and um I didn't talk to you because I'm a mute.

~Hazel

If you don't mind me asking, but why? you don't have to answer if you don't want to.

~Liam

I stopped talking after my mother died of cancer years ago

~Hazel

I'm So sorry Hazel, I didn't know! If I did I wouldn't of asked. :(

~Liam

No, no Liam its ok, its not your fault.

~Hazel

Wow, you must be strong, I don't know how I'd survive if I didn't have my mom

~Liam

But the thing is I'm not strong, I'm weak.
