complicated love

17.From a Nightmare to a Sweet Dream

"You look amazing!" Annabelle exclaimed as my mom showed us her third option to wear for her date tonight. I loved the fact that my mom was happy about the date and that she had finally gotten over Brett. "Okay, so which one do you guys like the best?" my mom asked showing us the dresses,"The third one!" Annabelle and I both say in unison. My mom checks out the dress and we stop at a bakery on the way home,"So where is he taking you?" I ask as I take a bite of my pastry,"A picnic" my mom says trying to avoid contact,"Ohh, dinner under the stars. Thats so adorable" Annabelle says causing my mom to blush. "I think we should start getting home, Mason probably left a mess all over the place when he was unpacking" my mom said quickly changing the subject

"Who's are these?!" My mom yelled picking up somebodys briefs. Oh crap, their Harrys,"Not mine" Mason said smirking at me."Trinity Elizabeth Miller, if these belong to who I think they belong to you're in so much trouble young lady!" my mom said as she stood up,"Oh um this is a bit embarrasing but those are mine.." I turn around to find Connor,"Oh, well then here you go" my mom said lowly. I went back to my room and started listening to music when my door opened,"A thank you wouldve been nice" Connor said as he tossed me Harrys briefs,"Thanks" I say as I watch him shake his head and exit my room.

My mom already left for her date and everybody in the house was either asleep our out. I decided to go to the coffee shop and get my free drink,"Oh well hello love" Madilyn said with a cheeky grin,"How may I help you?" "Uh can I just have a hot chocolate? It's chilly tonight and I'm not in the mood for coffee" I say as I fiddle with my bracelets,"Okay, and again I apologize for what happened with Kevin the other day that was highly inapropriate..He's just like his uncle" "You know his family?" "Yeah, his parents are really nice but his uncle, oh gosh hes just dreadful.. uhh Brett? Yeah, thats his name. Uncle Brett" she said shaking her head,"Oh..what does he look like?" I ask starting to get nervous,"Black hair and dark eyes, aha if you ask me his features go good with his dark personality" she said sighing,"Kevin and Megan are nothing like their sweet parents, they're like Brett if you ask me" "Oh.." I felt my palms start to sweat and my hands get shakey.The person she just described is exactly like the Brett who ruined my childhood. "Well heres your drink hun" I snapped out of my thoughts and took it in my hands. I gave her a weak smile and began to walk away. It's not like he knows where we live right? I was about to leave the shop but Madilyn called my name,"Have fun with Megan tonight!" she yelled across the room. I give her a confused look and walk back to the counter,"What do you mean have fun with Megan?" "Today in the afternoon, Kevin and Megan came into the store with Brett to pick up their last paycheck and she was giving him your address and she told me that it was because you guys were going to have a sleepover so she could make up for what happened with Kevin" "Oh right...did she say at what time?" "9:00" I look at my watch and see that I only have three minutes to get home. I run out of the store leaving a confused Madilyn by herself with no explanation as to why I was leaving. I run up the block and see my house. I feel a huge relief fall over me but it quickly vanishes when I open the door and see a huge mess. The only person who was home was Annabelle and she was sleeping. "Annabelle!" I yell as I scan the living room looking for her. I walk into the guest room and theres Annabelle.. in Bretts arms. I freeze there, just like I did when I was little. I reach into my bag and text my mom before Brett throws me across the room, luckily I hit send before my phone broke. "Oh, well Trinity it has been a while hasn't it?" he asks smirking at me. I look over at Annabelle and I notice that her eye is swollen up. I scream as I feel Brett kick me in my gut. "Leave her alone!" Annabelle yells as she jumps on Bretts back causing him to trip. He hits his head on the table,"You bitch!" he yells as he spins Annabelle around and tackles her on the floor. He gets her head and bashes it against the floor. I see blood everywhere and then it hits me. He's going to kill her. I'm lying here as my sister is having a close to death experience, whats wrong with me? With those thoughts I get up and get my moms vase and smash it against Bretts head. I hear him scream out in pain and watch as he gets up. I run towards Masons room knowing that he has a baseball bat in there. I close the door shut behind me knowing that Annabelle will be safe because now he wants to punish me for my actions,"Come out you brat!" I hear him yell as he starts pounding on the door. I look under his bed, in his closet, behind the door and I cant  find anywhere. I hear his laptop ring and I see the bat under his the chair. I pick it up and see that Harry is trying to video chat with him. I answer the call knowing that I wont have much time.
