You know, I know

Chapter 18

24th June.

Today me and my best friend are going shopping. We've been friends for three months and she's more like a sister to me.

It's 11am and Evie is coming in in 10 minutes. I put on some make up, I decided on wearing a black crop top, black jeans, a red jacket with white stripes and some trainers. I clicked the lift button seven times. The door opened and I ran in ,I quickly pressed the button for the ground floor. I stepped out of the lift as the door bell rang.

I ran over to the door and opened it, there stood Evie.

"Evie! Olivia!" we both squealed at the same time. I closed the door and we jumped into the taxi.

"How's everything going E?"

"To be honest Liv i'm glad to be out of that house. My boyfriend won't allow me to go out unless i'm with you"

Could it be? Could she be going out with Connor? No he's in a different country, right?

"Dam that bad E" "Yeah" she sighed and looked down at her arm.

"Let me see" I said and she looked up at me.

"Liv it's nothing. I'm fine. Can we just go shopping" she said trying to change the subject.

We sat in silence until we got out of the taxi. We ran into what they call the 'mall' and ran into the first cloths shop.

We spent 20 minutes in the shop and we bought more cloths than we possibly need. We decided to get some food so we walked to the food court. We found a table and placed down our 20 odd bags on the floor.

"Can we have two burger meals and coke please?" I said the lady at the counter.

"Of course".

I took the food and took it back to our table and we started eating.
We finished our food and I took the plates back to the counter. When I arrived back at the table Evie had her sleeves rolled up, black, blue and purple bruises covered her skin.

"Evie!" I gasped as I took her arms in my hands.
"Liv i'm fine" she said and quickly rolled her sleeves down.

"Come on we're going home. We have spent enough. And you're going to tell me everything!" I said and she nodded. We picked up all of our bags and started our walk home.

Evie

I shouldn't of rolled up my sleeves, Connor is going to kill me. Olivia is going to get it out of me one way or another.

I met Connor four months ago and I started to like him, we got together and everything was okay for a month until everything turned around. Ever since then each day he would hurt me. He would punch me, hit and kick me, he would shout and yell at me and he would beat me. Sometimes I would end up in hospital for a few days. He scares me more than anything, no matter what I do I can't escape him. Every time I come home from work he yells, I try to leave but he traps me so I can't. It's like he owns me.

Olivia

We walked into the house and put all of out our bags in the main living room and headed into the second living room. We both sat on the sofa and I could see in her eyes that she was hurt.

"Evie you can't keep this from me any longer. I'm your best friend and you're like a sister to me. I need you to know where all of the bruises and cuts have come from babes" I said as I took her hands in mine.

"they came from my boyfriend" she said as she looks down into her lap. She looks back up and continues .

"It's been going on for three months. Every time I came home from work he would yell at me and hurt me. He'd punch me, Kick and hit me, sometimes he would push me. Sometimes I would end up in hospital"

This sound way to familiar. It's like I'm with Connor all over again. Is she going out with Connor?

"Evie what's his name?""
"Connor" She whispered and tears fell down my cheeks as well as hers.
"NO NO NO NO!" I shouted over and over again.

"NO NO NO NO!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. Niall ran into the room and flung his arms around me. I pushed him away and stood up.

"Evie you stay here" I said. I ran out the front door, I knew where Evie lived but Connor was never there.

I jumped onto my motorbike and started the engine, leaving tire marks as I pulled away.
After 10 minutes I pulled up in front of the house. I jumped off my motorbike and knocked on the door. The door opened to revile Connor.
I stepped in and pushed him backwards, I kicked the door shut and the pushed him up the wall on the dining room.

"You're an idiot!" I shouted and he looked at he like I was a crazy person.
"What do you mean Liv?" He said anger in his tone.

"You! It's just you isn't it Connor! You always want to hurt people. You always want to beat them! You always want to leave them broken! I know what you've done with Evie!"

I screamed as his fist collided with my face.

"You never stop do you!" I screamed, my words getting louder and louder. Once again his fist came in contact with my face. I pushed him into the wall and hit him.

"YOU NEVER EVER STOP!" I screamed and there's no doubt that the neighbours can't hear this.

"You can hurt me as much as you want Connor! YOU WILL NEVER HURT EVIE AGAIN!" I screamed as he repeatedly punched me. He threw another two punches, one at my head and one at my stomach, I fell over and I couldn't hear anything, then everything went black.

Niall

I put my foot down on the peddle and made my way down to Evie's as quick as possible. Evie was in the passenger seat as Reece and Emma was in the back.

I pulled up out side and saw Olivia's motorbike outside. I jumped out of the car as everyone was doing the same. We all ran into the house.
We all split up. I went upstairs with Emma as Evie and Reece was looking down stairs. I kicked open a bedroom door but no one was there.

"OLIVIA!!" I heared Evie scream
