Can We Be Fixed?

Chapter 6 - The Awkward Drive Home

I felt someone shaking me, my eyes flew open to see Daniel crouched down on his knees looking extremely worried

"Fuck, Talia I thought I lost you" he says before pulling me into a tight hug

"I can't lose you yet we have a plan" I hear him mutter something but I barely hear it

I stiffen, I think this is one of the first time he has ever hugged me voluntarily and actually meant it.

I think he felt me stiffen and not hug him back because he pulled back, running his hand through his hair, he always does that when he is nervous or stressed 

I do something like that too I twist my hair or play with my rings or fingers

Suddenly he scoops me up and I squeal loudly because it was so sudden 

"Shh" he says 

"People are going to think I'm kidnapping you"

I scoff and say "there is no one out here no one is going to hear anything"

Rolling his eyes he carries me to his car and then puts me in the backseat before hoping in the front and starting the car

"I'm sorry"

I look up so fast I think I pulled a muscle in my neck, that's the first time he has ever said sorry to me that I can ever really recall.

"What" I say shocked

He goes quiet for a second before opening his mouth "I- "

Ring

His phone buzzes as we both jump from the sudden noise

"Hello"

"Hey, I'm sorry we can't fin-"

" l'ho trovata, te lo spiegherò più tardi okay, dì a Caleb che l'ho trovata, Era svenuta sul ciglio della strada, Ci sarebbe voluto un idiota ubriaco e l'avrebbero colpita, ti chiamo più tardi "

I found her, I will explain later okay, Tell Caleb I found her, She was passed out on the side of the road, It would have taken one drunk idiot and she would of been hit, I'll call you later. 

"Did you just speak in Italian?" I say confused

"Yes" 

I wait for him to explain to me why but, he doesn't and I decide to leave it

"Okay well thanks for picking me up I guess" I put my legs up on the window and closed my eyes trying to avoid this awkward drive home.

"Talia"

"Yes" 

"I told you to move away from the road, why didn't you move the cars were so close to you"

Suddenly I snap 

"Don't you dare act like you care, If you and your stupid friends didn't lock me in the storeroom none of this would of happened" I yell

He seems to be in shock and then calmly replies "Damien came and unlocked the storeroom a couple of minutes before break ended"

"So where were you Talia because, you weren't stuck in there, Also you missed 3 periods of class, you know my dad hates when you skip school"

"Excuse me, don't blame this on me okay, it's not my fault okay, You and your stupid friends are to blame" I yelled at him

Suddenly the car came to a stop suddenly and I almost flew past the steering wheel into the window, luckily Damien put his arm out and I didn't fly past him.

"It was a joke Talia, why are you acting like this is my fault, you are to blame you skipped school and didn't come home for 2 fucking hours" he snapped

And he was back to being rude... I swear sometimes it was like his personality suddenly flipped and he was a totally different person

I could feel his grip on my arm suddenly and it was really tight, he was acting like Simon and that really freaked me out.

"Don't touch me" I yelled at him before grabbing my bag and walking straight out of the car

"I'm not going to run after you Talia" he yelled back

I ignored him, I needed space from him and everyone

I don't know why I passed out for that long, maybe I took the wrong painkillers from the nurses office, because they were not my exact pills they just looked similar

I walked down the street where I saw a familiar house, luckily the street was well lit with streetlights.

I walked up the driveway and saw Damien just entering the house and Simon greeting him

Fuck, I thought Simon is going to kill me

I was right as soon as I walked into the house he was glaring daggers at me 

"Where were you, you brat" he snarled

"Probably partying all night like the slut you are" he screamed in my face

"I accidently got locked in a classroom" I say trying to calm him down so he doesn't go crazy like the last time I came home late at 4:30.

"It is 7:00" he yelled and school ended at 2:55, as if you were locked in a classroom for that long"

He then grabbed me and dragged me against a wall, I struggled but he refused to let go

"Your a liar you know that, where were you"

"I was locked at school I told you" I yell

I don't think he liked me yelling at him because the next second he raised his hand and slapped me hard across my face 

"Next time you do that or raise your voice I'm going to grab all your devices, your phone and your laptop and grab a hammer and smash them to pieces do you understand? "

"You can't do that" I yelled tears pouring down my cheeks 

"You know what I have been too nice to you" he pushed me away and marched upstairs into the hallway and walked straight into my bedroom

He grabbed my laptop "Where is your phone"

"You can't take my stuff" I yelled but he refused to listen

"Give it now or I will get my belt and slap the shit out of you" he screamed 

I instantly handed him my phone from my pocket and he grabbed it and stormed downstairs 

Slamming the door behind me, I quickly raced to my door locked it shut before falling on my bed, this isn't normal I thought I need to leave this place, I let myself sob and cry until I feel asleep.

Heyyyy hope you enjoyed this chapter :)

This was kind of a sad chapter :(

I will say that unfortunately some of these ideas from my book are from my own personal experiences and I understand that every situation is different in real life for everyone but this is the way I have wrote it so I hope I don't offend anyone 💗

I also just want to say that I am okay now, so don't worry :)

Stay Safe Everyone, and incase no one has told you today I am so so so so proud of you and you are loved 🥰

If ANYONE ever need some one to talk to or rant to I will ALWAYS be here and please message me or someone because keeping things inside is not healthy and it will really effect and I know this because the same thing happened to me because I really needed to talk to someone when I was younger but unfortunately I was not able to because I didn't have anyone.

Also don't be mad about the Italian and the translate I just got it off google translate lol so its probably not correct 😂

- Thank you for reading 

- Love you Guys 💗
