My Brittle Barricade

Chapter 11

It was 6:30 in the morning when I woke up.
The house was so silent .
Uncle and auntie were fast asleep.
Johnny hugging his favourite teddy bear.
And Meredith  probably dreaming something crazy.

All night I couldn't stop think about what nick said .
what happen if I tell them all . will he hurt them . Could he hurt them , I don't know what he is capable of And I didn't want to find out .

But I need my  friend I need Emily and I need her now .. she would know what to do .. she always knows and I told her about meeting nick and stupid mistake I made ..
You can say she wasn't pleased to find out I got into a car with a stranger  but she understood what I was running from.

I knew i need help I didn't know how to do this  everything nick said .. I was so scared and I knew who to go to for help.

Next time I looked at the clock it was 7:24 am I knew Emily would be awake  and I would see her in school soon so I knew I was going to tell her everything.

Just as I open my window and curtains .. my phones buzzed .. I thought it was a text from Emily .. probably saying do you have this homework done .. she never did any and always copied off me.

But I  was wrong it was nick.
I opens it and read it " good morning baby .. nice to see you open the curtain and the window  for me..".

My window was looking onto a side road ..
Just as I was looking out the window to find his car
Meredith ran into my room . I continued looking but I didn't see it .. maybe he was using a different car.. Meredith was looking out the window  now and asking questions like "what am I looking for , Why are you sad ".. I had to stop her and say " I'm just tired but let's go eat " and kissed her forehead
But once I mention uncles breakfast. She ran out the door ..  nearly knocking Johnny over as she ran out ..
Johnny ran over to me and I was about to pick him up but my phone buzzed.
I looked to see nicks name come up on the screen ..
Johnny walked out at this time and I sat on my bed and open his text .. it was a picture of me kissing Meredith forehead..
he texted after that  " do I ever get any sweet kisses  like that" .
I didn't reply.
I just knew I needed Emily to tell me how to do this .. how to deal with him.

Before I knew it I was beside her and she knew something was up with me.
We went into the empty bathroom and she locked the door so we were alone.
And I told her everything.
She hugged me and understood that I couldn't tell anyone .. she always told me that he has been in prison before and is bad news .
She always said " if he comes around be strong In what your saying .. don't let him be in control and if that doesn't work send him my way"

I said no and told her not to tell anyone about this . She promised she would not tell anybody.
After that a teacher was at the door and made us go to class ..

I was glad this day was nearly over .
I was glad I had all my 3 project ready to be handed in tomorrow.
My science  project was about the human body fully detailed and drawn out.
Guess I was good at drawing things because  my next project was art.
And of courses  I had to draw Emily. She loved being the centre of attention. So when I need something to draw she straight away said stop looking your drawing me.
And my last project was geography .. and this was everything I could find on plant earth .. how was made .. what is it made up off ..what are we doing good and bad to it..

I was so tired right now I just crashed on my bed .. I didn't get under the sheets ,,  I just fell on the top of that and went into a deep sleep.
Next thing I knew I felt arm wrap around me and put me under the sheets I thought it was uncle or auntie and didn't think much of it ..
and went  back to sleep.. but then something was getting in behind me .. I was so tired I didn't really wake up .. I felt warm strong arms wrap around me and then brought me into their chest .. the sound of a heartbeat relaxed me and I went into a deep sleep.
