Mialotte: Teenage Years

Chapter 4: Meeting up

A/N and TW: this chapter talking about killing and drinking if you don't want to read if it upsets you please don't read it.❤️

Chars pov:

I arrived at the shop before Mia I was five minutes early, I do need to go in and get a drink but I'll just wait until she arrives as I don't want her to think I didn't turn up. I'm wearing a black and white bodysuit with black shorts and tights, with white converse and a jacket. As I take out my AirPods I hear a ping come from my phone.

Texts off Chars mum:

Mum: Why are you so fucking selfish, you was meant to be watching your little brother today, you knew I was going out! You're so selfish Charlotte and you have no priorities whatsoever!!

I didn't even reply let alone open the message, I had tears begin to pool in my eyes, my mum is out every night and my older sister Holly said she would watch our little brother Jackson for me so I could go out, I can't see why I can't have a few hours out of the house. I'm always locking myself in my room due to mum being an alcoholic and our dad isn't around anymore. I just wish she didn't drink, it's not fair for Jackson to see her drink her life away, me and Holly are used to it, mum started drinking just after dad left Jackson was around a month old then. I don't know where he went however I do know he's happy I look at his Facebook from time to time.

Just as I was going into my thoughts I heard someone behind me "Hey sweetheart" Mia says with a smile "God Mia you scared the life out of, DON'T DO THAT AGAIN!" I shout jumping out my skin and laughing, I'm constantly jumping lately it might to the fact that we never know what type of mood mum will be in when she's drunk, sometimes she can be loving but most of the time she can be really nasty. "You okay Char?" Mia asked with a worried look on her face, "Oh I'm fine don't worry, are you okay though you've look like you seen a ghost?" My concern grew for the redhead standing in front of me. "I'm fine I thought I was being followed by someone but no one is around" she laughed nervously.

We head into the shop and I see Mia grab a pink Lucozade, I really don't understand why she would pick that flavour everyone knows that cherry is the best, "If you want to be friends you've got to try it, you'll love it" I hear her tell me "erm no thanks, I'll stick to cherry thank you" I laugh as she rolls her eyes and walks to pay for her drink. Once we finish paying we make our way to the park and I notice Mia is becoming more and more anxious, I want to ask her what's wrong but I don't want to pry, she might tell me when she's ready to open up.

"There's a beach down the road if you want to go, the park creeps me out in the dark?" I ask feeling on edge, "of course sweetheart, I love the beach, especially at this time it's peaceful" smiling at me whilst pulling me off the swing, I could get used to her calling me sweetheart, I didn't realise our hands were still connected until I heard a branch snap behind us and Mia pulled me behind her "why is she so jumpy? Why is she protecting me?" Two questions roaming my thoughts.

"Who's there?" Mia shouts but gets no response "maybe it was bird or something Mia please can we go?" I beg her a little too frightened, one thing about me is I'm terrified of being in the dark with hardly any lights about, I don't want her to know this so she doesn't think I'm weak or childish. I feel her dragging me along the path and out of the park gates as we head towards the beach our hands till interlocking, I really could get used to this her holding my hand, her smell, her smile, her warmth but mostly just her.

"Mia you seem worried, please tell me what's wrong" I plead with her, I can see the anxiety growing on her and I could feel it. I could see how pale she went and the tears building up in her eyes, she looks at me and I can tell she's trying to find the words to come out of her mouth but the seem stuck "I-I-I don't know" she stammers "Mia look I know we've only known each other for a couple of hours but I'm here, I'll listen and I won't judge you" I tell her so she knows I'm always there for her and always will be.

"This is going to be hard to explain, where I used to live I had a really good best mate called Reece, we were joined at the hip and he had a little sister called Autumn, she was also like a little sister to me. Their dad was horrible and I mean awful, he made me keep them apart from each other, until one day he caught us all together hanging out, he locked us all in his house and flipped" Mia explains as the tears are coming down her face, I take her hand so she knows I'm listening, whilst I nod along.

"He became drunk very quickly and punched Reece repeatedly, his body went limp to the point I threw myself over his body protecting him and begging Roger to stop hitting him while taking a few blows to the face myself, I shouted at Autumn to leave and go to her room, he-he-he killed him Char, He killed my best mate, he killed my little sisters brother. I had to leave I had to go or he'd kill me too." She continues explaining while hysterically crying so I took her in my arms and placed her on my chest so she could listen to my heartbeat, her breathing slowly went back to normal. "Is that why you and your brother left?" I had to ask her "Yes I had to it was my only way, he was going to kill me and I couldn't stand being in a place where my best friend was killed, Aut went into care she found a nice family, Roger I don't know what happened to him I just know he stayed in that house." She finishes telling me now that she's fully calm
