Moving In With My Bully *a bradley simpson love story*

13. Life Line

Carmen's pov

I honestly don't know what to do anymore. The beatings I've been receiving are getting worse and worse everyday. It's getting harder to hide my bruises. As of right now I am hiding in my room here at the house. Bradley has been gone all day. That was until I heard the front door open. I heard stumbling and voices.

"Shhh y-yo-you're gonna wake up Carmen Bradley" that sounded like Marissa. Sure enough it was. Its obvious that Bradley's wasted.

"Sh-shh we ca-can-can't be loud or she'll hear us" he stutters out. Oh my lord he's really gonna sleep with her? After I heard his door shut I left the house. I was not going to be on the receiving end of his fist when he wakes up tomorrow morning. I grabbed what I needed and left for Avrey's.

As I walked I thought about all of the beatings that I have gotten from Bradley. From the very first one to the one I got this morning.

Yeah he came home upset and said it was my fault and beat the living hell out of me. It's whatever though. You wanna know why? Momma comes home in one month. That means no more living with my bully.

Avery only lives twenty minutes away from Bradley's house. Once I got there I knocked on the door and momma answered.

She let me in and I laid on the couch. I plugged my phone up and laid it down. I eventually fell asleep while watching tv. I'm telling you these beatings are going to be the death of me.

The Next Morning

Carmen's pov

I am stepping through the front door. As I do my face connects with a fist and next a wall. I'm assuming Adrian isn't home yet. When I hit the wall I lost my breath. I was gasping for air. For some unknown reason I couldn't breathe. I eventually passed out. Darkness took over me.

Hospital

Bradley's pov

I am in the hospital with Carmen. Apparently they said that from where she had hit the wall so hard it knocked a lot of breath out of her. Did I tell them what really happened? Of course not. Shit I'm not getting in trouble for what I did.

"Mrs. Simpson we have to tell you that it doesn't look so good in there" the doctor tells my mum

"Why not?" She asks

"Mrs. Simpson she's on a Life Line right now" he says

At that moment I didn't know what to think.

"Well can we see her?" Mum asked

"Of course, but she's sleeping so be quiet" he tells us

We head into Carmen's room. I shut the door behind me. After I turned around I saw a broken, bruised, beaten Carmen. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. This was all because of me. I did this and her life is on the line all because I beat her to the point where she couldn't take anymore of it.

My mum left the room cause she couldn't bare to see Carmen anymore. I wanted to leave the room, but I couldn't. I went and sat in the chair next to her bed.

I took her hand in mine and I said-

"Carmen I'm so sorry. I know you don't believe me, but I really am. I honestly didn't think that I was hurting you that bad. To tell you the truth. I um actually last month when I took you to the beach. I was um-I uh I started catching feelings for you. I had to push them away because it just would never work between us.

Carmen I'm sorry for all those years and days for always bullying you and beating you up."

I looked at her and she looks so pale. Bruised. Broken. The last thing I said was-

"I love you Carmen Alicia Morales" then I placed my lips on hers while her hand was still in mine.

Carmen's pov

"I love you Carmen Alicia Morales" I felt his lips on mine. He began to pull away when I began to kiss him back. I opened my eyes and looked up at him.

Bradley looked down at me surprised. I couldn't speak my voice was caught in my throat. Bradley kept my hand in his and just looked at me. While I was looking into his brown orbs I saw tears forming in his eyes. I lifted my hand to touch his face and he flinched. I wasn't going to hit him.

"Carmen I'm so sorry." He tells me.

I still couldn't speak. Not because I didn't want to. I do I just couldn't find the words.

"I-I- um" I muttered out

I couldn't say it back I can never look at him the same. My life was on the line because of him. I took my hand away from his face and shook my head no. I took my hand out of his just when the door opened. I saw Rachel, Avery, Lexi, Harry and Austin walk in. I smiled.

"Hey baby how are you feeling?" Austin asked me

I made an okay sign with my fingers and he smiled.

"I'll um see you later Carmen" Bradley said before leaving my room.

Being on a Life Line is a place I never ever want to be again.
