WAR

|Chapter 4|

Max

A sting exploded on the right side of her face, successfully waking her from one nightmare and throwing her straight into another.

"Get. Up"

Finally opening her burning eyes her hand imminently grabbed her swollen cheek and she watched her stepdads angry glare. She stared at the floor wishing for just 5 more minutes.
"Are you deaf!?! I SAID GET UP" He grabbed both shoulders and shook her violently. She squeezed her eyes shut wanting to scream and argue but not having the power.
"I'm sorry" she whispered. His eyes squinted. She knew what he meant whenever he squinted. He wasn't happy. Whenever she didn't correct herself after being given the 'warning' that would earn her extra beatings "Lewis. I'm sorry, Lewis" He threw something onto her bed, next to her. She looked at him cluelessly, waiting for him to explain. He rolled his eyes and put his hand on his forehead.

"There's £10 there, go get me some paracetamol. Ive got a banging headache" She grabs the money in her hands and scans it. "NOW" she stood up as he exited her room. She smiled to herself as he said nothing about the change. He never did. Thats when she got what she wanted. She saved all the change for something special. She's not sure what yet. she keeps all the change in her sock drawer. In her most boring, used black socks. So no one can find it. That's all she has left for herself.

Pushing her hair up into a tight pony, shoving on her favorite jeans and a checkered shirt, she skipped down the stairs, quite excited for nothing but paracetamol. She absolutely loved getting sent out to fetch something. She loved getting out of an abusive house and walking around London. She got to the renewed kitchen of her house, and went to make herself some tea. This is what she has as breakfast every day. She choses to have so little. She never really ate a lot anyway. "Ej" she turned around to see her mother. Her brown wavy hair crazy and bed head-y. She wore her fluffy blue robe she got for her birthday for about £90. But of course, no one else in this house found this absurd like she did, seen as Lewis was rich and her mother was getting used to the wealth.

Her mother had something in her hands that she was holding out. Max slowly opened her hand to find out what was in her old restless grip. Her mother dropped something into her palm and went over to the fridge. "We need milk, eggs, and bread" In her hand was more money. £20. Yes! More time spent outside. She hears foot steps coming down the stairs. Oh god. Her step -sister. Her mother turns around in excitement and similes as the dirty blond walks through the door. She both hated her step sibling as much as she admired her. Her hair flawlessly resting on her shoulders. The odd combination of blond hair with big brown eyes. Perfectly tall, skinny. Max wanted to kick herself so hard.

Why am I so ugly?

Hey friends! I just have a few things to say,

1. idk if you've noticed but i haven't added a cast to my story, telling you what the characters looks are like. Well, thats because even I myself havent havent really figured out what my two main babes look like. Also, I don't want to set a specific person as them. I want you - as the reader- to read my descriptions of them and view them your own way. I kindaaaa feel like Max has some Lucy Hale features, and Jessie like a tall, shy gingery-brown with REALLY green eyes, like the most greenest green you can think of

2. I am seeing more and more of you reading mah story! That makes me soooo happy thank you so so much<3 I know i dont post very regularly and that may be slightly off putting but shout at school not me! i seriously wish i could sit at home writing all day but prison last for 6 hours a day 5 days a week and it leaves me no wattpad-time :(

3. I have changed the way Jessie looks like. I just felt like I needed to as I never even pictured him chubby in my head. If you have already read the first chapter a while ago, please go back and read it again just so you know what's happening

4. It's 10:32 and everyone in my house is sleeping while I'm listening to selena gomez and eating pringles lol

new update soon hopefully<3 <3
