Teenage Love

Chapter 47: Old Habits

"Oi!" I said trying to push Beth as she slapped the back of my head as she walked past Alessia and I in the hallway

Alessia pulled my jumper bringing my attention back to her

"Don't" she said with a soft smile

I sighed before smiling softly at her

She leaned up and pressed a kiss to my lips

"I'll come to your room tomorrow morning" Alessia said as we broke apart

"Okay" I said softly

Alessia opened her hotel room and stepped in as I walked off to my room

I hoped into the shower, did my skin care and put a pair of shorts and a sports bra on before making my way to my bed

I jumped onto my bed while finding something to watch on my tv

I found a shitty tv program and  put it on as there was nothing else to put on

'4:37 am' my clock read as I looked across

What the fuck? When did it get so late

I sighed knowing i wasn't going to be able to go to sleep, thanking my Lucky stars that I only had a light training session today

I decided to get ready for the day and then just carry on watching the tv program I had been watching for most of the night until it was time to go

I heard a knock on my door, it now being 8 in the morning

I put on my england zip up before answering the door

"Beth?" I said confused

"Alessia told me to get you as she was running late, and that she will meet us in the dinning hall" Beth said as she dragged my arm

We made our way down to the dinning hall in silence, I couldn't be asked speaking, im tired and want to save my energy for training, Beth seeming to understand my mood and letting me be

We sat down, I grabbed an apple for my breakfast

I pulled my hood up over my head and ate my apple while everyone talked around me

I pulled my jumper up so it was covering my mouth as I started to go into a deep thought

'Dad! Don't' I shouted as he pushed my mum, stopping herself by holding onto the door frame for the bathroom

'Why do you think it's okay to push your wife, why do you think it's okay to let your children see how you treat your wife!' I shouted as I tried to protect my mum

I was back in my 10 year old body, trying to protect my mum from my dad 

He raised his hand and slapped me, causing me to fall onto the floor

Before I knew it I was in another memory

My brother and I stood outside my mums and dads bedroom in the hotel we were staying in

We heard a loud crash before my brother bolted into the room, I stood behind him and saw my mum on the floor with my dad standing over her

My mum stood up quickly and grabbed her coat, walking out of the hotel room and out to the benches at the front of the hotel over looking the sea

'Kids she started it all, look what's she's done to me' he said showing us a bruise on his arm that had clearly been there for ages, he was just trying to play the victim like he did in most cases

We were to scared to speak back to him, I moved over to the window which over looked the sea and where my mum was sitting

I watched over her making sure she was safe, after a while she moved and made her way up to the entrance of the hotel
