Disposable Teenagers

Chapter 38: In the Dark, Dark

Shannon POV:

HMV then home, back to Lewis, I thought as I walked through the almost empty town. I wanted to be back in plenty of time before Lewis so I could cook him a meal as he has been cooking a lot recently.

Seeing the pink glow of the store, I smiled to myself.

"Hey" I heard a female voice say. I ignored it as I don't know anyone in London so I presumed it wasn't directed to me. I continued walking.

Suddenly, a figure jumped in front of me.

"Answer me when I'm talking to you bitch" the female spat, the darkness meant that I can't see the person's face, just the black figure.

"I'm sorry, I thought you were talking to somebody else"

"You better be"

"What do you want?" I asked, trying not to show my slight fear I was undergoing.

"Remember me?" She angrily questioned, dismissing my own question.

"I'm sorry, I can't see you but I recognise your voice"

"Better?" She moved into the light briefly, illuminating her face.

It was Lizzy!

"What do you want?" I repeated, showing a slight bit of anger and frustration.

"You stole Lewis away from me bitch!"

"He was already with me and he was never going to be with you"

"You took him away!"

"I hate to break it to you but I didn't" I felt a bit sassy saying that.

Lizzy swung for me but I darted out of the way just in time. Before I knew it, I punched her square in the face - I'm sure I heard something pop!

As the realisation hit me, I ran away from the situation - I thought it was for the best!

I could hear footsteps behind me.

Glancing over my shoulder, Lizzy was sprinting towards me with a bloody nose.

"I will get you back for this" she screamed as I turned around the corner, "Lewis is mine bitch".

"Shannon! Shannon! Wake up!" Lewis shouted, shaking me slightly.

Snapping my eyes open, Lewis was sat on top of me with a panicked look on his face. Tears falling from both of us, I pulled him down, hugging him tightly.

Being in his arms made me feel safe.

"Ssshh Shan. It's okay. You are with me" he stroked my hair, planting soft kisses onto my temple. "Wanna talk about it?"

"It-it's Lizzy" I stuttered between my sobbing, "she tried to h-hit me s-s-so I hit her back an-d she chased me".

"God, Shannon that's horrible. Look, let's leave this place and go somewhere completely different. It will be okay I promise." Lewis consoled me. It's not fair on him, because of me we always have to move.

Will it be okay though? If she found us once, surely she can find us again. Next time it will be worse. I'm positive...
