Him

Chapter Ten

Cole's prov

We sat there laughing at each other for being just a little bit stupid. We also talked about what our lives would be like when we left and we talked about things we did when we were little and how we miss them. I looked into her eyes and I saw sadness. No doubt it was about when her mother left. It was bad and we all knew it, nobody stood up for her because they were all scared of her father we all just sat back and let it happen the abuse the rape and him shoving drugs down her throat

I remember him dragging her out of school one day by her hair because of something stupid. She was kicking and screaming so loud and nobody did anything to help her they just stood back even the teachers stood back. She kept screaming my name for help but the teacher said not to help her or provoke Mr. Andrew's any further. She was crying and screaming so hard that I lost it and went after him.

I grabbed the bat from behind my teachers desk and went to save her. Mr.Andrew's turned his back towards me and I took my chance and swung the bat with all my muscle and willpower. He went unconscious and I picked June up and took her to my Grandmother's house and hid her there for a week and a half till she wanted to go back home.

We finished our meals I left a 50$ tip for my aunt and we left. We jumped back in the car and went back to my parents house only to find my brother and his friends in the living room. We walked into the kitchen and started to clean the mess from earlier. I started picking stuff up when all of a sudden pancake batter was on my face and there was a laughing June across the room with batter on her hand. I grabbed the whipped cream can behind me and walked over to her and sprayed her with it and before I knew it we were having a full on food fight while both of us laughing so hard. I came at her with the chocolate syrup and she ran out and up the stairs as I followed with a big smile on my face. My brother stopped me and asked what the hell was going on and I just looked at him while walking around him saying I'm in love.

He stopped me and grabbed my arm saying that I couldn't be in love and that I was delusional. We heard June screaming and ran up to find one of my brothers friends holding her down. I lost it and punched him in the face and dragged him down the stairs and out the door and started punching him like a bag of sand. Mark and his other friends tried pulling me off him.

If I ever see you again especially near June I will kill you. I said as I started walking back to the house to make sure June was OK.

I walked in to find her crying so I picked her up and carried her upstairs to the bathroom and I set her down on the counter. After I ran her a warm bath I stripped her down and placed her gently in the tube and started to strip down myself I got in and sat behind her and started washing her hair to get the remaining contents from our food fight out. She leaned back and started crying so hard that I broke down in tears and we just sat there for what seemed like a really long time crying.
