Don't hurt me.

Chapter 17

After I kissed Carter her boyfriend saw it. He beat the shit of me, now I'm sitting in my room with a black eye and busted lip. I look like a mess. What's new.

I hear a knock at my bedroom door. "Come in" I say dryly, putting on a blank expression. My mum enters and at the sight of me her eyes widen and her jaw goes slack. "Destin what happened?!" She yelps in shock.

"Got into a fight. No biggie." I state, my voice void of emotions. "It is a big deal sweetheart! Are you okay? Who did this?" She rambles.

"Mum, quit pretending to care. I know you don't already now get on with what you wanted from me so I can go on with my business." I say numbly.

"Right... Um Des I need to give you a drug test. If it comes back and you are still on drugs I'm sending you back to the institution!" She says sternly.

"Awesome. Give me the cup so I can fucking piss in it and then fuck off." I say rudely grabbing the cup out of her hand and brush past her into the bathroom.

Me and my Mum are sitting in the kitchen waiting for the results. I know the out come. I haven't done drugs in awhile how would I have? I'm on house arrest basically. My Mums constantly drumming her fingers in the counter. It's beginning to piss me off. "Can you fucking not?" I glare at her and she hesitantly stops. She goes and checks the test. "Destin you tested positive for tobacco and weed! What did I say!" She yells. "Look I'm not gonna stop smoking cigarettes so don't even try and weed takes like a month to leave your system but hey! If you want me gone I'll go!" I say laughing as I head upstairs to pack my things.

"Des! Destin Elliot! You come back here! You don't have to leave." My mum yells. "I just- I want the old you back. I miss you. Hell this is my fault." She faintly says not intended for my ears. I tip toe to my room and silently close the door holding back tears. I won't cry not this time. Not like this.

I lay on my bed sighing loudly closing my eyes. I drift off the sleep. I'm jolted awake by my message time going off. My eyes burst open and I rummage blindly through the covers for my phone. My had clasps around the cool smoothness of my phone. I bring to me unlocking it squinting at the brightness. As my eyes adjust I see its a text from Carter. It reads:

'Destin, that kiss was a mistake I love Jase. I'm sorry it has to be this way but we need to move on from each other. Forget about me and I'll forget about you. Just stay away. Goodbye Destin. Forget about forever.'

And with that I broke into a fit of rage. How can she do this? This is fucking bullshit! Then everything blurs and I know I'll wake up tomorrow with broken things and more scars.

The next morning sure enough broken things and more scars! Yay! I grab my phone and text Carter.

'Fine. You want me gone, I'm gone. You don't have to worry about me. I'm leaving besides my mums rules are too strict. I love the party scene so now I'll get to party again. Don't bother looking for me, I'm going far away. Not that you'd look for me but don't tell my mum.' I send it. I grab my bag and shove clothes in there and shoes. I head downstairs grab my board and I'm out the door. "Fuck this house, fuck my mum, fuck this fucking town for fucks sakes. Fuck Carter for breaking me. Fuck my dad for being a coward and killing himself. Fuck this world for making me feel so fucking insignificant!" I say ad a head down the path to the subway. "Goodfuckingbye"
