Arias P.O.V
I wake up to darkness. I can't see a thing. I don't hear anything but a few birds chirping. It must almost be morning. I try to feel around me. Whatever I'm laying on is really comfy! I turn on my side and touch something. holy crap what was that? I turn the other way around and hit a wall. ouch. just then a light switched on. I see my brother laying beside me.
"Hey, your awake!"
"Where am I?"
"In my bed. why?"
I've never been so confused in my life.
"More like why am I in your bed?"
He turns over and looks at his phone.
"It's 6 in the morning. go back to sleep and I'll explain later. I'm really tired right now ok?"
"Uh ok."
How does he expect me to sleep when I have no idea what's going on? the light shuts back off and I'm laying in the darkness again. I'm not going to get any more sleep! I'm wide awake.
I open my eyes. I guess I drifted off for a few minutes. It's light out now so I can see my surroundings. I'm in joeys big bed in the corner of the room. There's a dresser on the other side of the room and some clothes laying in a pile. He really needs to make his room more stylish.
I smell bacon and eggs, my favourite! I get up and walk out following the greasy scent and the noise of Joey trying to cook. I'm a bit scared to see what I was going to find.
"Hey joey." I loudly say. He had a raw piece of bacon in his hand that flew up in the air and stuck to the ceiling.
"I don't think that bacon is gonna cook too well up there." I say. Joey looks over at me and gives me a very annoyed look. the bacon falls off the ceiling and lands on the edge of the frying pan.
"Good morning to you too." He says forcing a smile. I go sit down at the table and wait till he brings breakfast in. we eat in awkward silence. He keep his head down and so did I. Once we were done eating we were staring at each other at the table.
"So..." I say
"I'm not letting you live with dad. don't even think about arguing because I'm not changing my mind." Joey blurts out in full seriousness.
"Where am I suppose to go then! And I'm not living with you! no way so get that idea out of your head!"
Joeys P.O.V
I knew she wouldn't live with me. I don't know what else to do! I could call the police but me and dad have a deal. I can't have him Arrested no matter how bad he is. He helped me now I help him. I know he won't let Aria live with anyone else. I'll have to talk to him.
"Hello?" Aria was staring at me. Ops I must have been daydreaming.
"I'll figure something out." I said getting up. I took arias plate and mine out in the kitchen and started washing up. I heard Aria walk in. I looked behind me to see her sitting on the island counter behind me.
"I want to go home now." she says almost pleading. Wouldn't she want to stay away from home?
"I can drive you back home. I just have to get changed." I'm still in my pjs.
Arias P.O.V
I walk up the stairs to go to my apartment. I reach the top to see that man, what was his name? Shay? I see a worried looking shay walking back and forth on his cell phone talking with someone. he spots me. Oh god. I don't want to talk to him! I need to get home and hide from my dad. I fake a smile at him and walk to my door. I turn the handle. It's locked. I don't have my bag or my key with me. I guess I'm going to get a beating for this but I have too....
*Knock knock knock*
After 10 seconds the door swings open and I jump back a bit to see a very heartless, ignorant, irritated, angry man. He's slouched over from a hangover and he stinks of alcohol. I didn't think he would hit me over the head with his beer bottle until he dragged me in sense shay was right there watching but boy I was wrong. He swung the bottle right to my temple. I fell over. the last thing I seen was shays worried face running towards my father. I laughed in my head thinking my fathers in big trouble!
