Shelby's p.o.v
I woke up and noticed the bright orange cast on my left wrist. I sighed. I also noticed no one was in the room but me. I took my phone of the side table beside me. It was a lot more difficult to type with my right hand since I'm a leftie. I checked on Instagram and there were a lot of "get well soon!" Comments. I also seen hate which I'm pretty much use too, being "the taylor caniffs daughter!" I laid my phone down and my mom walked in.
"Yay! You're awake! We can finally leave this Ebola jail!" She said hugging me
"Mom you are so so so stupid!"
"Blame your grandpa!"
I rolled my eyes and hopped off the bed. We walked down and ate the subway at the hospital. After I ate my sub we went home. I was going up to my room but was interrupted.
"Sweetie sit down real quick!" My mom said
"Okay....?" I said turning slowly and sitting beside Alex
"Sweet heart you know you can't dance with your cast." Taylor said
"WHAT!?" I yelled standing up
"I'm sorry, I tried to persuade them, but they're scared you'll hurt it worse and then you'll never be able to dance."
"NO! I'm dancing! That's my life!" I yelled
"I'm sorry there is nothing we can do. Maybe if you weren't messing around in a tree this wouldn't have happened!" Taylor snapped
"Don't you dare blame this on me! Gosh why couldn't have you died, not Jacob!" I yelled instantly regretting it
I felt my cheek burn and realized he had slapped me.
"TAYLOR!" Mom yelled
"I HATE YOU!" I yelled running to my room
I slammed the door and packed my vera Bradley backpack. I stuck some outfit and shoes inside, along with electronics and chargers. I opened my window and Alex was sitting there.
"Where are you going!?" He asked nearly falling off
"Away from here." I said sliding down
"Not alone." He said jumping after me
"No, stay!" I said walking away
"No way!" He said following
I sighed and continued to walk. He grabbed his and my penny board and we skated down the side walk. We rode down for like 30 minuets. We finally got to his house. We put our penny boards by the door and I knocked. Hayes opened it.
"Hey kiddos what's up?"
"Can we stay here for a few days?" I asked
"What and are you ok about your arm?"
"I'm fine and we need to stay for awhile, please hayesssss!" I begged
"Come in and explain." He said as we walked in
We told him everything. His eyes widened.
"TAYLOR SLAPPED YOU!?" He yelled
"Yea...." I said putting my head down
"Ok, go put your stuff in the guest room. I guess you can stay for a day the I'm calling your mom!" He said sternly
I nodded and as I walked down the hallway I heard him mumble
"I'm gonna kill him, yep gonna kill em."
I walked in the guest room with Alex behind me.
"Um, off topic question but what da heck am I gonna wear?" He asked
"Jake as some in the closet from when we stayed here a few months ago." I laughed
He smiled
I put my stuff up and my phone rang. It was mom.
"Baby where are you!?' She yelled crying
"Mom, just know I'm fine and so is jake. I can't stay there with him! Just give me time."
"Shelby you're 13 years old! Don't tell me what you need, i know what you need!"
"What do I need mom!?"
"To get your butt back here now!"
"With that guy who slapped me!? Heck no!"
There was silence.
"Bye mom I love you and I promise I'm safe."
"SHELBY ELIZABETH CANIFF! YOU BETTER NOT HANG UP!" She screamed
"It's whitesides remember?!" I said hanging up
I threw my phone on the bed and fell onto the floor. Alex ran over and sat beside me.
"You ok?"
"I'm just sick of everything!" I said crying
"Hey, it will get better!"
"Promise!" I said holding out my pinky
"Promise!" He said latching his with mine. We twisted each other's arms. He kissed my fist and I kissed his. We smiled at each other. That was our way of say "okay". He helped me up on the bed. I looked at my phone and it was 1:30 pm.
I sighed and rested my head on my hand.
"Want food?" Alex asked breaking the silence
"When do I not!?" I said
We walked out of the room and Alex's phone went off.
"It's Nash." He said I guess not use to saying dad
He answered.
"Hello?"
"At a place."
"We're fine!"
"I'm sorry but no!"
"He slapped her!"
"Yes he did!"
"Ok whatever!"
"Bye"
He ended the call and slid his phone in his back pocket.
"Ready?" I asked him
He smiled and nodded. We walked to the kitchen and Natalie was in there drinking tea. Natalie was Hayes fiancé. Apparently they dated along time ago then broke up because Hayes was touring. Then after about 5 years they seen each other at college and got back together. Now they're getting married.
"Hey babe doll!" She chirped
"Hey can we get some food?" I asked
"Yea of coarse! You want pizza?"
"All ready dialing the number!" Hayes said walking around the corner
She smirked and rolled her eyes. This is how I like it.
