Partners In Crime {Being Rewritten}

5: Grounded

"You broke his arm!!??"
"Maybe...."
"I told you to stay out of trouble!!"
"It's okay mum, he was up for a fight."
"You are grounded! You're not coming with us to aunt Cathy's for Christmas. You're staying here!" My mother said. I let out a slight gasp.
"But mom! I have never done anything wrong before this!! Shouldn't you be letting me off with a warning? It's Christmas!!! My favourite holiday!!"
"No!" She said sternly.
I guess I even heard her mutter 'you're just like your father...'
I don't know what that meant but I just let that go.
My mom had been called over to college after I broke Justin's hand. She was overreacting.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
My mother let out a sigh as we sat down at the dining table.
She crossed her arms.
"What's going on!? What has happened to you?"
"Nothing except that I have had enough to of the bullshit I have been going through!! Maybe if you had the time, you would've noticed. You think I was just bullied this once? Guess what, it has been happening since high school!!"
"I know! I know that this has been happening since high school. But, it wasn't THAT serious in school! Now it is and you're making things worse."
My eyes let out tears. I was tired of showing the world that I was fine.
"I don't want to talk about it."
I got up and left for my room, locking it behind me.

Hey, how bad was it?
West texted
"I am home alone for Christmas."
"That bad huh?"
"Yeah...."
"How about we make plans for Christmas? That'll cheer you up..."
"Not in a mood "

I got a few more messages but I didn't bother to reply. Something was wrong with my mother, she was never like this, even with my older brother.
Suddenly my phone rang.
West.
I tried not to sound like I was  crying but my voice cracked.
"Hello..?"
"Were you crying?"
"Does it matter?"
"Yes.."
"No"
"Yes"
I was frustrated, I cut the line and stopped responding to any notifications on my phone.

I don't remember much after that except the fact that I cried myself to sleep.
Knock.
Ash!!!
Opennnn!!
A louder knock.

"West...what are you doing here!?" I sleepily said. Sitting up on my bed, I opened the window and he jumped in.
"When are your parents going?"
I didn't responed. Why did he even want to know?
"Ash! Tell me..."
"Why?"
"Just do it, will you!?"
I let out a grumpy sigh.
"The day after our vacation starts."
"So that is this Friday..."
"What do you want in the middle of the night, west!?"
"I am taking you Lazer tagging!! On Friday. Everyone else is coming!"
"We could have discussed it tomorrow you know that right?"
"Yeah, right now I have come to take you to a party..."
I looked dead into his eyes. Is he kidding me? Does he not know what happened today?
"No! Do you know what happened today? Plus I am grounded! I am not leaving the house!!!!"
"Oh come on! Live life! You'll be back before your mom notices."

After a long argument, I ended up staying at home and so did he.
Because if you're not going, neither am I!!
Ugh!!
"I want to sleep, please leave west..."
"Promise you won't cry..."
"I promise..."
"Good!" He ruffled my hair and left.
Soon my heavy eyes closed again.
I don't know why, but West didn't leave my mind.
