CHAPTER EIGHT - Conflict

CHAPTER EIGHT; Conflict.

I looked at the constant moving scenery as re car chugged home from the beach. Aaron beside me and singing to his DJ mixes he made. I smiled as I could hear the boys talk about the fun they'd had at the beach. "I live the waves!" Greg exclaimed. "Ma, I wanna take up surfing!" "Well you fit the look!" Mum replied.

I placed my bag on my bed as Greg followed me and sat down on my bed. "I don't want this holiday to end!" he said grinning. "Me neither," I replied, rummaging through my bag for my iPod. "You like him. Don't ya?" Greg asked. "Doi!" I replied, "Why ya ask?" "I just wanna know the full details Sis! You deserve to be happy!" he said grinning as he left my room. He was so sweet at times. I followed him a few minutes after wanting to know why was for dinner, as I was peckish.

"Heya you," Carly said as I walked towards the dorm door. "Hi Carly, what's up?" "it's Aaron" she replied sharply. "I don't want to see him hurt again. I looked puzzled. "Again?" I asked with a worried look on my face. "He didn't tell you?" she asked. I shook my head as the worried look on my face grew. "Her name was Ella." she told me how they dated for years and that she cheated on him with the captain of the schools wrestling team. I cupped my palms over my ears not wanting to hear anymore. I was suffering from disbelief. I had to find Aaron. He had to explain to me that what she was saying was a lie.

"Hey beautiful," he called as I approached him. "You didn't tell me?" I stated. "How could you not tell me?" I asked starting to well up. "Tell you what?" he asked. "Oh, don't act like you don't know!" I shouted. "Ella! You gave her everything!" his confused look turned into a guilty smirk. "I didn't think it mattered." he snapped, "What about you huh? And..." he stopped, realizing there had been no one. A single tear ran down my cheek. "I thought you were different." I softly spoke. At that moment I fled. Leaving the holiday park distraught and angry. Aaron called after me but I ignored him as the anger and grief built up. Grandad hit me and made it worse, but Aaron's words made me ache even more than I should have.

I walked for kilometers. My face wet with tears and my head clouded with thoughts. The day grew dark as I stopped to rest. I found a bush by a playground in which I laid to sleep.
