Don't speak. (gwourtney)

Part 15

TW abuse !! 

Gwen's pov.

I giggled before answering.

-You're welcome.-

She smiled at me.

-So.. you didn't actually answer.- I said. -I mean- You did, but..-

Courtney put her finger in my lips.

-I like you too, idiot.-

My face turned red again.

-Well.. That's something.- I laughed.

We shared a brief kiss.

-Come on over to my house. We can play videogames!- I said, smiling.

-Oh, I'm so sorry. I can't.-

-What? Why?-

-My mother.. Is coming back here with Mike and she demanded for me to be here when she arrives.- She said with a sad expression on her face. -You have to get out of here.- 

My smile turned into a frown.

-Oh. yeah. That's okay, no worries!

We said our goodbyes and I went back home.

I texted Cody for a while and then took a nap.

Ring!

The doorbell woke me up.

-Honey, can you answer?- My mom shouted from her office.

-Okay.- I shouted back.

I rubbed my eyes and took my keys.

I inserted the key in the hole and struggled for some seconds before opening.

Outside, I found a cold girl beaten up , all curled up in a blanket.

-Cou-Courtney?!- I took her in my arms , inspecting her.

-M-Mike.. He's still there with her.- She struggled to say.

I laid her on my bed and called my mom.

She was furious.

-How could someone do this to their child?!- She said, putting ice in my lover's face.

-Please don't call the police.- She said.

-Hun, we have to.- My mom responded.

I sat on the bed next to Courtney's.

-Please. She has connections. She can get bailed easily and then come for us again.-

I sighed.

-Mom. Let me speak with her.-

She looked down sadly but accepted, and left the room.

-Courtney.-

She looked at me with teary eyes.

-You are going to be okay.- I reassured her.

Her eyes filled with more tears, and she snuggled up on my chest.

-I can't do this anymore, Gwen. Im tired.- She confessed.

My eyes opened big and I started to get teary too.

-Everyday, It's the same. I study. I go home. I get scolded. I study. I sleep. And then it's repeated.-

-I don't do anything else.- She cried, hugging me harder. -I had my childhood taken away from me.-

I stayed quiet and just listened.

-My dad left us when Mike was a baby. That made my mother angrier and more violent.-

-I don't want this for Michael. He's the only reason i'm still alive. Because I don't want to leave him with that monster.-

My heart broke in a million pieces as she opened up for the first time.

Is this really her everyday life?

She looked like the person to have a perfect life.

I kissed her forehead as tears ran through my cheeks.

-Don't worry, Courtney. I swear you and Michael are going to be safe. I can promise you that.-

She finally broke down crying.

I just hugged her back.
