Bell's PØV

You know when young teenagers go threw puberty. And they develop strong feelings for others.

And they always say 'that puberty sucks '. Developing feelings,  is one of the reasons why puberty sucks.

And I feel like I'm going threw puberty again but only this time. It's the feelings that fucking me up.

Ever since Ethan came along on this little trip. His been messing with my head.

Uuugggghhh why does life have to be so difficult.

~~~~~~~~

I woke up to the smell of fresh pancakes and silver utensils being scrapped against a porcelain plate.

I didn't see ethan in his bed.

I got up from the bed and walked towards where the noise was coming. I saw him eating a three layered pancake stack,  a bottle of syrup and a glass of orange juice next to him.

"Good morning" ethan said putting a piece of pancake in his mouth. I was a bit concerned that there wasn't another plate of pancakes.

"Morning?" "So where's my pancakes" I asked squashing my eyelids close together. "Oh you don't get pancakes...but I did get oats and yoghurt" he said with a cheeky smile.

I gave him a straight face. "I guess I'm still being treated like a prisoner" I said sitting on the chair next to the table ethan was sitting at.

"Bell you have always been a prisoner, evens if you aren't behind bars or in an asylum-" " Asylum? I'm not insane!" I scolded him. "Says the woman who nearly drove into a whole troop of policemen" Ethan yells.

"Damn it" I said under neath my breathe. He starts laughing and I gave him another straight face. I took my spoon and digged threw my oats and yoghurt.

"Oh and I ask them to put your favourite flavour yoghurt" ethan says. I looked at him.

I saw there was strawberry flavoured yoghurt with strawberry chunks. How'd he know this was my favourite.

"How'd you know this was my favourite flavoured yoghurt and how did you know I like strawberry chunks in my yoghurt?" I asked concerned.

"When you're dad was still a police officer. I saw his old case file he was working on and he wrote all you're favourite things on a piece of paper inside."

"Wow ,my dad did really care about me evens  before he became a criminal" I whispered. I looked down at my breakfast.

This brings back so many memories. Good and bad.

Flash back
~~~~~~~~~~~

"Here you are sweety" mom says stroking my cheek and smiles but then fades.

She puts down a bowel of oat,  strawberry flavoured yoghurt and freshly cut strawberries. "Thank you mommy" I said smiling.

I put a spoon full of yoghurt and shoved it in my mouth . I heard yelling coming the living room.

Mommy and daddy were yelling at each other.  They noticed me standing in the door hallway. Daddy looked troubled and mommy had tears in her eyes.

"Mommy? Daddy?"

"Go inside and finish your breakfast sweetheart" mommy says wiping her tears away before she tells me. "She has the right to know what's going on, Caren!" Daddy said with a shaky voice.

"No she doesn't" mommy screams. "She's only 5 she doesn't need to know" she yells again. "Yes she does,  she needs to know what you did" daddy yells back.

They started to shout again. It was scaring me , a warm tear drop rolls down the side of my cheek . I squeezed my teddy in my arms.

They stopped again "no honey don't cry. Go inside and finish your breakfast , mommy will be there soon" she says with a soft voice.

I went back to my breakfast but I heard them again. Only this time I could hear what they were saying.

Mom                                                 Dad

I made one mistake James
ONE

It might have been one thing but
I don't know how long has this
been going on for Caren

(Sniffles)

(Shack voice) so tell me Caren how long has this been going on for?

(Still crying)

ANSWER ME!

Please....just tell me (shaky voice again)

3 days

First time I didn't mean too. We were alone an-

So you decided I wasn't good enough,  then you decide to cheat on me with my own best friend

No


But there were no feelings involved James I swear

And what about the other time during those two days this was going on

Was that also an accident. Cheating on your husband and knowing that it's wrong

(Crying again)

Why Caren. Why. You said you loved me. On our wedding day you promised you would never cheat on me

I'm so sorry it was an accident

Accidents don't happen repeatedly for 3 days now does it (raises voice)

No it doesn't

Why?, am I not good enough anymore. And what about Bell. Do you not care about your daughter anymore

I love Bell with all my heart, I love you both

If you really loved you us,  you wouldn't have had sex with my ex best friend Caren (angry voice)

You don't love me and you don't love your daughter

Don't you say that

I just did

I'm leaving and I'm taking my daughter

No you can't

             ( I hear heavy footsteps)

Daddy picks me up. Mommy comes rushing out as we walk out of the house. "NO , YOU CAN'T TAKE HER" "PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY BABY AWAY FROM ME" mommy yells.

Daddy puts me in his car and buckles me up. Daddy started to drive away, I looked back threw the back windscreen. I saw mommy crying into my teddy on her knees.

I sat properly in the car I looked at daddy in mirror and saw he had tears in his eyes. "Dad where are we going" I said looking down and back at the mirror.

He wiped the tears away. "We're. ...going to grandma's for a little while" he replied with a sad tone.

"Is that okay?" He asked "Yes dad" I said in sad tone.
