Just the two of us (Eminem fan fiction)

Chapter 16 Cards on the table

"Amelia you have to wake up now." I hear Rachel's voice. I'm so tired because I've only got a few hours sleep because of Marshall's little visit last night. I hate Mondays! I don't even want to get out of bed because what happened yesterday still effects me and the fact that Rachel is the first thing I see this morning only makes my day even worse, I'm still so disappointed in her. "Amelia." She says again when I don't reply.
"I'm awake." I just mumble and she leaves my room. God I'm still really hungry and I know James has already headed off to work which relieves me a little bit. I look at myself in the mirror and see all the marks from the belt yesterday and I begin to cry again, come on Amelia, get a grip. I put some clothes on and walk to the kitchen where Rachel sits.
"How did you sleep?" She asks. How do you think I slept you fucking bitch?! I get so angry and I turn around to face her from the kitchen counter and I give her an angry glare.
"Are you for real?" I ask her and she looks confused, she's even dumber than I thought.. "After what happened yesterday I don't even want to be related to you as family anymore." I say.
"Yesterday was out of my control." She says.
"You didn't do anything Rachel!! You should've done something!!" I scream at her.
"What was I suppose to do Amelia?! You push people to the limits they didn't even know they had!" She fires back.
"Don't you dare justify what he did you fucking bitch! If mom was alive she would have killed you! I hope you burn in hell!" I scream.
"Amelia.." She tries but I cut her off.
"Don't fucking talk to me anymore and if you say one more word I will throw this bowl in your face!" I threaten her as I hold the bowl in my hand. Rachel doesn't say a word after that..
I head to school and Tasha grabs me and pull me to the site.
"My mom has been going crazy about your little lie." Tasha says.
"Imagine how it was in my home." I just say with a smirk. I don't wanna tell Tasha about the abuse, it's not because I don't trust her I just think I'm trying to forget it and I won't do that if I tell people about it.
"Why haven't you been texting me back?" She asks me.
"James confiscated my phone." I tell her.
"Man that sucks." She says and we head to class.

Aften school I'm heading out to the bus until I see Marshall's car. What is he doing here? I can't hold back my smile as I jump into his car.
"What are you doing here?" I ask him with a huge smile.
"I'm picking up this girl I really like." He says and I blush like crazy, as I'm about to speak he's cracking a smile and says - "Her name is Lisa do you know her?" I burst out laughing and hit his arm.
"You're such a dick." I say.
"Shut up, you like it." He says and kisses me. "You must be insanely tired." He says.
"It's actually not that bad." I say. Even though I've only got a few hours sleep I'm surprisingly fresh. On the way home we talk about my confrontation with Rachel this morning and Marshall of course think she got what she deserved. Marshall park a couple of houses away from my house just so they think I've taken the bus home.
"I don't wanna go home." I tell him with sadness written all over my face.
"I don't want you to go home either." He says and kisses me and I leave the car. A sad feeling comes over me, how I just wish I could stay with him but apparently nothing is for my benefit anymore. I go home and go straight to Lucas' room, I really need to talk to him. Lucas lays on the bed as I enter his room and he looks at me with this caring look.
"Are you alright sis?" He asks me and I just shake my head as tears rolling down my face. - "Come here." He says and I lay down on his bed and cry into his chest. - "Man it's all fucked up." He sighs when I begin to cry uncontrollably.
"I hate it here." I cry.
"I know sis." He says and tighten his grip around me.
"I love the friends I've gotten here but I hate this house and I miss my mom."
"I know you do." He says. It's nice to have Lucas, I've always been the only child so for me to have a brother who's like Lucas is nice, I don't think a lot of siblings feel this way. "Have you talked to Marshall?" He then asks.
"Last night." I answer without thinking. Fuck, how stupid can you be Amelia?!
"What?" He asks. I really don't know what to say because I can't lie to him, me and Lucas don't lie to each other it's not our thing to do that, our thing is to be brutally honest with each other. "Amelia?" He asks me when I don't answer him.
"He came by last night." I almost whisper.
"How?"
"He sneaked into my room through the window." I whisper.
"And you don't see why I have a suspicion about the two of you?" He asks.
"You should." I mumble.
"Oh shit.. Don't tell me you're fucking him."
"We haven't slept together."
"Amelia for fuck sake.. Him and Kim.." He tries to say but I cut him off.
"Lucas I don't wanna hear it." I say.
"That bitch is gonna kill you, you know.."
"It's nothing serious right now, really." I say and add - "We've just kissed."
"That's enough for her to fuck your ass up." He says. At this point I don't give a shit about Kim because I actually have a feeling that he really likes me.
