Pain (Punk Niall)

Chapter 2

I set down my copy of The Perks Of Being a Wallflower. I could almost read this book without looking. Its meaning full words always tugged on my heart.

The thing that stops me is the sound of my mothers voice in the other room. She's talking excitedly and every so often let's out a little squeal of pure delight. I'm intrigued by the noise because I don't hear it often. It makes me curious as to what's got her so excited.

However, I am too stubborn to speak to her. As usual I'll let her tell me. It's most likely something incredibly silly that has no affect on me at all. A friend probably got her hooked up with some new man half her age. I try not to think lowly of my mother because I know the only reason she does these things is because da- he hurt her.

After her quick squeal of an goodbye she rushed to the small living room I was currently in. I was sat on the windowsill with my legs crossed underneath me.

'Oh Holly I've got amazing news!' Her high pitched voice told me. It must have been amazing because her cheeks were flushed and the movement of her hands had quickened.

'What is it?' I always found my voice very timid and soft so my answer came out as more of a whisper.

'Im flying to Greece for the summer! Beautiful beaches and equally as beautiful boys!'

Wait what.

'What do you mean?' I asked her sitting up.

'The girls and I are taking a break to Greece! Oh Hols I'm so excited can you imagine the men there and the tan I'll be getting.' She over dramatically started fanning herself.

I rolled my eyes, 'you expect me to stay here all summer alone?' The disbelief in my voice is noticeable. It's not that she is of any company to me when she's around. But with Michael leaving for his family's villa in Spain it means I'll be left alone.

'Oh don't be stupid Holly, as if I'd leave a 17 year old girl alone.' She laughed, 'Your going to England.'

'I'm sorry, say that again?' I choked

'E N G L A N D.' She was speaking to me as if I was a child.

I laughed, 'Your flying me from Virgina to England, just so you can go on some girls holiday?' I tried not to raise my tone, it isn't even worth it. 'And where would I even stay?'

'Your fathers of course, well else in England would I send you?' Her tight smile make the matter worse and my stomach dropped.
