Plasters And Bandages (COMPLETED ✔️)

Chapter Thirteen

Alex's POV

This morning I woke up alone.

I missed Beck and touched the pillow he slept on a few days ago.

Whatever.

I dragged my ass out of bed to make breakfast but as I was walking down the stairs the smell of sweet pancakes wafted towards me.

"Morning" she chirped

What was she so happy about?

My Dad!

"Big day, eh?"

"Yep" A huge grin spread across her face and I smiled.

Looking around, the house was very clean, I just needed to cook.

After breakfast I washed the dishes and got started on lunch. Anastasia played some music and we sang along happily.

It felt like a mother-daughter moment.

But she wasn't my mother.

I mentally sighed.

"Everything alright?"

Shit, maybe it wasn't just in my head

"Oh! Yeah... Just worried about today"

"Don't be"

If only it was that easy, after last time I wouldn't be surprised if I ended up in hospital again.

12:34

The doorbell went.

"You go get that, I'll set the table"

I walked to the door, with a big smile on my face.

"Hello father, please come in"

"That's what I was going to do"

I just rolled my eyes.

As he sat down I heard Anastasia tutting.

He looked around, confused.

She walked in, drying her hands with a kitchen towel. His jaw dropped. I wish I could have taken a picture. He looked ridiculous.

"Long time no see, Jeremy"

"Anastasia"

He stood up and ran towards her.

But then he turned to me. Shot this is gonna backfire on me.

"You evil cow!"

"What!?"

"You want to ruin my relationship by bringing this slut back here"

I was so confused. He used Anastasia because he was grieving. Left her because he got bored. Not because she did something wrong.

He can say what he wants to me. Just not to the only good thing that happened to him since my mother.

"Do not talk about her like that!"

"Why are you taking her side?"

"Because she was the only good thing that happened to you! She loves you but either you were too blind to see it or too goddamn stupid!"

"How fucking dare you, you, you, you skank"

He slapped me hard. I just sucked in a bared it but Anastasia stepped in.

"No don't!"

But it was too late.

He violently shoved her against the wall and she slid down, crying out in pain.
