Regrets

Chapter 4: A Short Fuse

*MATT'S POV*
Mom~ "MATTEW COOPER PLEASE. IT WAS MY CHOICE TO HAVE A CHILD. IT WASNT YOURS. I WANT ANOTHER BABY WITH SOMEONE I LOVED AND YOU CANNOT CHANGE THAT."
Matt~ "NO MOM. YOU DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU DID. THIS IS A MISTAKE ITS JUST A MIS-"
Stacy~ "MATT WILL YOU JUST, (sigh) will you just please calm down. You are not God, you don't control our lives, we choose our own path, not the one you're forcing us down. Will you just please just go to your room. Im seriously tired of all this yelling."
Matt~ "SO YOUR TAKING MOMS SIDE. SINCE WHEN DO YOU- UGH YOU KNOW WHAT FUCK ALL OF YOU. YOUR ALL IDIOTS."
Mom- "MATTHEW RAY COOPER APOLO-"
Stacy~ "Mom, just let him have this one. You know how he gets. He's just a teen going through puberty. He gets mood swings. It'll pass through."
Matt~ "Whatever Stacy its not like anyone care about your opinion."

What in the hell is wrong with Stacy! Jesus. "Going through puberty, getting mood swings" BULLSHIT. I swear if i hear one more peep out of her Im gonna EXPLODE.

*STACY'S POV*
Stacy~ "Mom, he is out of control."
Mom~ "Stacy I don't know. He'll probably get even angrier. And that poor girl he takes it out on."
Stacy~ "Man I really wish we could help her."
Mom~ "Well the school won't give any information on her.All I really know is that there was an accident so her and the parents requested not to be mentioned at all under any circumstance. They've tried emailing her parents so that they might give us permission to get to know her but, they still haven't contacted back."
Stacy~ "That is a really odd request. Something pretty serious must be going on if she basically wants to be erased from life."
Mom~ "(sigh) So, do you think I should do it?"
Stacy~ "He needs it Mom. If you want I can make the call. I am one of his legal guardians."
Mom~ "Would you? That would save me a lot of time, and yelling."
Stacy~ "So when do you think the first appointment should be?"
Mom~ "A week from now at 11:00 am."
Stacy~ " Okay, (sigh) I really didn't think it would come down to this but, but he's out of control."
Mom~ "(sigh) I know Stacy, I know."

I honestly didn't want to do this, but, HE'S OIT OF CONTROL. He needs to seriously calm down. I always thought we would be a happy, normal family. I guess I wrong about that too.

*Back at school, the day after*
*SERENA'S POV*
Jees, I hope no one notices me today. Man their gonna sure as hell think im a freak wearing jeans and a sweater WITH a bandana covering my head in 93 degrees. I really need to not let anyone notice. It'll- crap Emily, ugh I know she's just going to ask questions.

Emily~ "SERENA! SERENA! Oh my god its 93 degrees out and your wearing like the warmest clothes you could find!?"
Serena~ "Sorry its just cold in here."
Emily~ "The AC is broken.
Omg I just remembered I have Mr. Lexters class next. It's boiling in there. I swear like if you were to be in there you would like PASS OUT. But you don't have him today right?"
Serena~ "No not today."
Emily~ "So how'd- ugh look its Maddie."
*Maddie walks over to Serena and Emily*
Maddie~ "Hey Ems. Eww why are you hanging out with a slut?"
Emily~ "She's not a slut. If anything you are Maddie."
Maddie~ "Aw Em. You wouldn't talk to your big sis like that, would you?"
Emily~ "Your'e older by two minutes Maddie, TWO MINUTES!"
Maddie~ "Im still older. Whatever mom says we have to go straight hime after school. So I guess the slut has a break for ONE day. Whatever, Matt's still gonna catch you. Besides slut, why are you wearing a fucking winter outfit. You are out of your-
Em, I just had a scientific DISCOVERY! I gotta go, I just gotta tell Matt."
Emily~ "Whatever Maddie. Just get out of here."
*Maddie leaves to go find Matt, to explain her GREAT idea*
Emily~ "Ugh she is so stupid. I bet her great idea is to find out how to make condom so her and Matt don't  have to keep using fake ID's."

What's her great idea? Maybe I don't need to worry about it may-

Emily~ "Serena? Serenaaaa."
Serena~ "Oh, uh, sorry. Got lost in my train of thought you know."
Emily~ "Hey. Don't let my sister get to you, kay?"
Serena~ "I know. Its such a weird thought though. We were all such a tight group. The Alexander Twins and the Smith! Until I fucked up. I fucked up so bad. I just, maybe things would be different if  I didn't-"
Emily~ "Hey, it wasn't your fault. Kay? Maddie's just really over-reacting. She's always been a drama-queen."
Serena~ "Okay then. It's really weird to think about how my bestie and arch enemy look almost completely alike. Im just glad you have green eyes unlike Maddie. Ugh, her sparkling blue eyes are just so ugh."
Emily~ "Well me and Mads are NOTHING alike, well not anymore."
Serena~ "Thanks Em. Your amazing. You really know what to say. Well lets get to class. See you tomorrow? Since I won't be able to see you after school."
Emily~ "Um no! I'll text you after school, duhhhh. Okay I'll TEXT you after school, kay?"
Serena~ "Kay. See ya Em."

*MADDIE'S POV*
Matt~ "Wait, so how is turning up Mr. Lexters heater up a good plan. What are we doing making the guy sweat and smell?"
Maddie~ "No, no, that's plan. Okay so after he leaves we're gonna turn the heater up full max, then we're gonna stuff Serena in there and lock it so then she'll pass out cause what she's wearing, and trust me she won't
have the guts to take her clothes off when we're video taping the whole thing with my phone! Even if she did take off her clothes, that would prove how much of a slut she actually is."
Matt~ "Maddie your a genius! I guess blondes aren't that dumb after all."
Maddie~ "Aw Matt, I love you."
Matt~ "Yeah yeah lets go find Serena."
*School's almost over, everything seems to be going fine, the bell rings and Serena is the last out of class and she thinks she's finally getting a break, keyword, thinks*
*SERENA'S POV*
For once, a day off! I think their getting- take that thought back. Matt and Maddie are right there, its like they're, its like they're waiting for me.

Matt~ "So where do you think your going Miss Slut?"
Serena~ "Please, I just-"
Maddie~ "You're not supposed to answer that."
Matt~ "So why don't you take off your clothes, it's pretty warm ain't it?"
Serena~ "What no-"

*Matt grabs her with a tight grip and takes her all the way to Mr. Lexter's class. With the heater turned all the way up, and it already being 93 degrees its reaches up to 102 degrees in there*
(AUTHORS NOTE: I don't know whether Im accurate or not with the temperature. But for the sake of the sake of the story, its 102 in there! Okay? Okay. BACK TO THE STORY)
*STILL SERENA'S POV*
Oh my god, I, I , I-

*Serena passes out, as planned but she dreams, mire like, has a flash back, (AUTHORS NOTE again: for a recap, you might wanna reread the last bit of the last chapter)*

Serena~ "Oh, god. Dad? What are-"
Dad~ " DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY GOD DAMN FUCKING QUESTIONS HE ASKED ME. HE WAS GOING TO CALL THE POLICE BECAUSE HE THOUGHT I DID SOMETHING TO YOU."
Serena~ "Daddy, please, they were."
Dad~ "BULLYING YOU? YOUR DESERVE IT YOU LITTLE SLUT"
"Behind him he had, not a belt, but a whip, with tiny needles at the end. He hit my head, he scratched my feet. Over and over. After of what felt like half an hour of abuse, it was over, he left, got drunk, and went to sleep.  I was in so much pain. My head had such a big scar, my legs, full of scratches, but my arms, full of cuts, but not from him. I got a kitchen knife and i cut myself. My arms are full of cuts. I sliced my skin, what some people consider mental, I consider peace. I went to sleep. Next morning, the bruises were there, a little worse because I didn't heal them after. I put on jeans, to cover the scratches, a long sleeved shirt to cover my cuts, and a bandana to cover the huge bruise on my head. And school went on to what led to this."

*Serena wakes up, In the hospital, in shock*

Serena~ "Wha-, wha, Where am I?"
