You're safe now (Lucy bronze)

Chapter 9

Emily's POV:

I'm not going to stay in Lucy's house if she doesn't want me there. It's understandable, I kept her up last night getting sick thanks to this concussion so I don't blame her. I wouldn't want to live with me either.

I was getting used to being with Lucy, she made me feel safe but I guess nothing good ever lasts me and I was stupid for thinking it would.

I'm not sure where I'm going, I'm just aimlessly walking. I'm angry at myself for thinking someone would willingly look after me. I love Lucy and I'm thankful she let me stay with her, even if it only was for a few days.

As I'm walking, everything starts to look familiar and I realize I'm only a few minutes away from my house. I might as well just go home, there's no point in delaying it. I just hope my dad has calmed down since the other night and what happened won't happen again.

As I'm walking down the road to my house my phone starts ringing. I pull it out of my pocket and see Lucy's name on the screen. I sigh before answering, not really in the mood to talk to her right now.
"Hi Lucy" I say and continue walking
"Hi Emily, I didn't mean what I said I'm just tired, can you just come back so we can talk about it?" She asks sounding sincere
"It's fine lucy, I don't want to overstep and outstay my welcome. I understand if you don't want me to stay any longer. Thank you for letting me stay for the last few days. I'll see you on Monday" I say and hang up before she can reply. By the time our conversation is over I have arrived outside my house. My dads car isn't in the driveway meaning he's at work which I'm grateful for.

I take the key from my phone case and unlock the front door. I step inside, the familiar smell of stale beer filling my senses. I walk towards the stairs not letting my eyes linger on anything for too long. I will probably have to clean the house before my dad gets home to minimize the outburst he will have due to my 2 day disappearance. But right now I just curl up in my bed and put on Netflix. My head has been feeling better today and my bruise is starting to fade but I didn't sleep that well last night so I'm still tired.

It's now around 12pm, I've just been lying in bed for the last few hours. Lucy has texted me a few times but I haven't looked at them. I don't want her to feel bad for wanting me gone and to feel like she should look after me.

I get up and make myself something to eat for the first time today before beginning to clean the house, wanting to get it done before my dad returns.
