Reece
“It must be really difficult trying to keep up, right?”Ava’s mum asked but I couldn't concentrate because of the constant notifications coming from Ava’s phone. I wondered who kept on disturbing her.A part of me felt a little jealous.She looked uncomfortable though.So it was probably a pest.
“Well,I've gotten used to it ,so it's not very difficult" From the corner of my eye .I could see Ava stand up and before she could leave for the stairs,I held her hand.I wanted to find out what was wrong but when I saw her teary eyes my expression softened. She looked like she was in pain. I could see her eyes staring at her hand which looked like it was the one causing her pain.But I wasn't holding her tightly. I was about to turn her hand over to look at it but she pulled it out of my grip and ran upstairs and that's when I knew something was wrong and if my instincts were accurate,she had hurt herself.
I excused myself and went after her. Not bothering to knock,I swung her room door open. I was angry.
“Show me your hand".I said and she looked shocked but quickly masked it with a fake smile.
“What?, Why?” I strode towards her and gently put her hand in mine. I examined the old scars but what really caught my eye were the new ones.I traced them up to her palm and when I saw her palm my jaw clenched. Her palm was seriously bruised.she was terribly hurt and I was quite sure it was by herself.
“When did you do this?" i whispered.
“huh?,these are old scar-"
“DON'T FREAKING LIE TO MY FACE!!!” I yelled,this time looking directly into her eyes and she moved back a little.
“To-today” she stuttered, confirming my suspicions. I had a feeling it had something to do with the text messages she had been receiving and as if on cue,another notification popped up.She was about to pick up her phone when I spoke.
“Give it to me” I said firmly and she timidly dropped it in my hand. I didn't need to look at it to tell that it was a picture of her in a bad condition. I threw it across the room and it shattered into pieces as it collided with the wall.
“How dare You!” she said “Listen Reece-"
“No Ava, this time around, you're the one who's gonna sit down there ,shut up and listen!” I was furious. She was about to say something but I glared at her and she quietly sat down. If she wanted to be treated like a child,I was willing to treat her like one.
“You know,I never told you my opinion on all you told me the other day" I laughed humourlessly “I thought it was bullcrap and pathetic!” I said and she was shocked. I knew she was expecting me to sympathise with her but I wasn't going to.
