The Best and the Hardest Thing

Chapter 12

"Casey?" I said as I saw the glass on the floor, he turned to look at me, blood was seeping through a cut on his head and his eye was swollen shut.

" what did you bloody do?!" i yelled to my parents as ran to casey, I noticed the glass was from the top cabinet above where casey had been standing, my dad was holding the pool stick and I turned to him.

" Instead of hitting my boyfriend why don't you finish me off? Huh? No baby means no bad publicity.. Isn't that right Matthew?..so go on- hit me" I spat at my father- I have never said his name before and never been so rude. I turned and steered Casey to the kitchen where I took the first aid kit and a towel which i used to dab at his skin.

"better pack your things and move out by the end of the week" my mom yelled standing at the doorway

"gladly" I answered

" you can stay with me Hun, my parents would be thrilled! Your practically besties with my mum anyway" casey informed me after my mom had left the room.

I kissed his cheek before running up the stairs to pack an over night bag- I got all my make up and underwear's packed so I grabbed some jeans and shorts, tops then moved to shoes.I got my laptop case, put in my phone chargers, my laptop and iPod before grabbing a tote gucci bag to put the items in. I ran into the walk in closet typed in my personal pin into my jewellery compartment and grabbing the bracelet case made for me when we first met and a couple pairs of earrings. I had a safe installed in my closet one week when I was 15 it was in the bottom left corner of the room where shoe boxes were neatly stacked in front of it along the row. My parents never knew and that's how I've always kept it. Typing yet another pin I retrieve all the money I had saved up for the last couple of years, wrapped as $500 bills I put $20,000 dollars in my bag and another $47,500 in a shoebox ready to deposit in the morning at the bank. I still had more money on my debit card but I knew casey and I would need all the money we could get.

Grabbing my bags I put them in my range rover and locked the doors as I ran in to escort casey to the car, I decided we would go to the emergency room just to make sure everything was fine.

"mr. Butler, you had a lucky escape, your cuts will need to be stitched, but I believe if the glass were to have fallen just a centimetre to your right, you would have cut to your cornea which could have blinded you, you'll need to take it easy for the next week

And apply some drops onto your eyes every 5-6 hours during the day and again before bed" the doctor informed us.

Once he was stitched and ready to go we drove to a local Chinese takeaway and got our meals ready to eat in the sanctuary of caseys room. By the time we got in, everyone but cleaner was asleep as it was 11pm, after we ate, I had a quick shower and slipped on one of Casey's shirts from his closet as I was too tired to go through my belongings. I got in bed next to casey and we cuddled up watching spongebob until I fell asleep.

I woke up at what seemed like 3am and casey was sitting at his desk engrossed into his laptop.

"case babe" I whispered in to the night

"yes, gorgeous?" he replied

"pass me some water from the minibar and get back in bed, I'm cold without you holding me" my voice croaks as my mouth was so dry.

Casey passed me the water and climbed in next to me held me until I fell back asleep. This was just the beginning of a blooming future.
