Roommates

#46

My alarm goes of at 8:00 I smile looking out the window ,it's sunny eventhough we are now in November ,I get out of bed and slip on my fuzzy purple slippers. I love waking up early it makes me motivated to do so much more throughout the day. Then I remember what happened last night. I consider crawling back into my bed for the rest of my life. "No ,I'm not going to cry about it. This need to be put right" I head to the medicine cabinet for something to get rid of the slight headache I have ,from all the drama last night. I feel like I've got a hangover but obviously I haven't as I didn't touch any alcohol. I make my way to the living room where Noah is sat near the table as soon as I walk through the door he gets up. "Get your stuff together. I want you out of here by 12" my mouth may as well of hit the floor. "What why?" Noah places his hands behind his head "isn't it fucking obvious? You lied to me! I told you everything and after nearly 3 months ,you lied about Jake. I know what your manager said isn't true but Jake? That's why you've been acting so quiet lately!"
I shake my head quickly "let me explain! I am not leaving until I tell you the truth. Yes I did lie about some things but not as much as Jake did! Please?" He looked tired ,with huge bags under his eyes and a small stubble growing on his chin. "You have 2 minuets" I grab his hand and pull him onto the sofa next to me. "It all started when I was younger. Jake worked for my dad's building company ,they got along great and he did lots of help for the company. When Jake got involved with drugs ,obviously my dad didn't want this affecting his business so he got rid of Jake and told the police ,after many weeks of waiting the police told us there was not enough evidence to put him in jail. My dad was annoyed that he was still out there but at least he was out of our life. For good ,or that's what we thought. Not only did my dad ruin Jakes work he ruined Jakes life. Eventually jakes family  found out he was doing drugs. The small family he had lost touch with him and he lost his girlfriend ,who claimed their house as it was in her name. Jake was now homeless and so the only way of doing it was selling drugs and sleeping at one of his dealers houses. 1 year later my sister Chantelle became ill ,at the age of 15 she had Schizophrenia. It's a mental illness when the brain believes other people are always with you and they are out to get you for a mistake you made or some thing else. With hospital help my sister got better and was nearly back to her old self. With all these medical bills we had to pay for her our family was desperately low on money. We sold most of our belonging to buy a new house. In order to help I tried for a job however being only 15 at the time I had no choice but to work in a club. That is where I met Jake. I never met him when he worked for my dad ,just heard his name regularly. However in this strip club he changed his name to Charles Newsam. I didn't do anything with him I apart from dance and strip ,it made me feel like a whore but he payed money for it and that money is what my family needed ,I kept dreaming about the day we would move away. A single year smiles down my cheek as I remember it all. "You don't have to go on if you don't want to" Noah says whilst he wipes his thumb across my stained cheeks. I shake my head quickly removing his hand from my face. "No. You deserve to know" eventually my family sold there house and moved from Cornwall to London. It was a few hours away and even tho the housing price was high ,the busy city life here was enough to distract us from Cornwall. After a few months there Charles texted me asking for me to meet him. I told him no ,I didn't want to. That was my past and I had moved houses now. I blocked his number however he contacted me from other phones and 2 days later he found me in a London clothing shop. I immediately demanded to know how he got my location but all he said was he had tracked me down. That night I went home and cried to myself to sleep if I didn't go back to Cornwall with him he'd tell my family all the stuff I had done. This is the time when my sister began getting ill again. Doctors said it was terminal and it would only get worse now ,it truly scared me to see my younger sibling talking to herself in a hospital bed. When we tried to hug here she'd believe we we're evil and was going to kill her. Whist I was packing my bag secretly to run away back to Cornwall with Jake ,my sister at this time my escaped from hospital and jumped over a bridge. It took days but when the police found her they said she was already dead before she jumped ,her life was dark. Nothing could of made her better and so she commit suicide. By now I focused on myself. I stayed in London and started a charity online for the illness. My parents and I had to do counselling for a while. Soon we became stronger though. I started focusing on school. Tho I never made friends my family life finally was looking up. That was until he appeared back in the scene ,he knocked on the door at 9:00 at night. When my dad was doing the night shift. He told my mum everything whilst he was stood on the doorstep. My mum immediately shut the door and asked me about it but was interrupted by the door being kicked in" I run my fingers through my hair. I can't tell him about this. No I have to! I need to! "Jake kicked our door in demanding me back. My mum called the police. However he grabbed the phone out of her hand and pushed her against the wall. I ran out of the room. I knew what he was going to do however I couldn't watch it I had to do something. I ran upstairs and locked my bedroom door. Called the police. Within minuets they arrived with a ambulance. Jake had already fled leaving my mother laid crying on the floor. Thankfully after doctors did tests she wasn't pregnant however when my dad found out he was going to kill him. Once the police found Jake he was locked up for life. However he somehow managed to get a good lawyer allowing him only 1 and a half years in jail. Tho he had sexually assaulted someone yet again there was no evidence ,hardly apart from the texts. I was scared to think about he day he would come out of prison but after months me and my family were slowly and I mean very slowly getting better.
Eventually I started looking up colleges in London. My family moved to Hull wanting to get away from it all yet again. My parents knew what I had done with Jake but even though they was mad ,they're mostly happy it was all over. For now. I got into this college in London which is 1 hour and a half away from my parents in hull. When my mum had recovered she decided to start working again. After 15 years of being a at home mum and looking after my sister she went back to a primary school and began working there whilst dad worked in a book shop. Now Jake is out again. Some days are better than others for my parents ,loosing their daughter and the incident with my mother made them become very protective of me. Now you know it every little crack in my life I will go get my stuff now" I wasn't even crying anymore ,just staring into space. I raise from the sofa and head towards my room. I gasp in shock when i feel Noah's arms slide around my waist. "I believe you" He whispers into my ear.

This took about 45 minuets to write this one chapter. However it was worth it hehe.
