Torn Between Two ~ A What About Tonight Fanfiction

Chapter Four.

~Mitchel's POV~

This morning i woke up to find all of the boys had left. I tried calling all the boys, none had picked up. I rang Chloe, she didn't answer either. I went to see if any of the other contestants were here. I found Bella in her room, crying.

Me: Bella? What's wrong?

Bella: Oh, Mitchel, uhh, nu-nothing.

Me: You're crying, obviously there's something up.

Bella: Mitchel, can i trust you with something?

Me: Sure, anything.

Bella: I think i'm starting to have feelings for Luke.

Me: Isn't that a good thing?

Bella: Yeah, but i think he has a thing for Sammi, even though she's older.

Me: I doubt he has a thing for Sammi.

Bella: I wouldn't be surprised. He came up to my room last night & Zach, Sammi & i were watching X Factor videos. When he saw Sammi his face lit up.

Me: Bella, he would've been going to see you.

Bella: Maybe, but still.

Me: Anyway, why are you crying for? Because you think Luke likes Sammi?

Bella: Partly, the other reason is private. Sorry.

Me: That's okay.

I sat in the room with Bella trying to cheer her up. I showed her my covers i did with Clinton before X Factor & some from when i was 13. She loved them. I think it cheered her up.

~Bella's POV~

I just got off the phone to my cousin. She has to look after her mum (my aunty). She can't look after herself, well, since the accident.

*Flashback*

Anne: Stop! Please!

I heard aunty's cries all the way from my room. I couldn't block it out. If i went down there, i know i would get it too.

Anne: Please! Just stop! I'll do anything! Please!

Why did this have to happen to her?

I was staying with aunty Anne while mum was at work. Anne was the most loving & caring person to ever walk this earth. She did everything she could for everyone, i never understood why, but i do. Uncle Ken is why. Every night he comes home, Anne gets a beating for not doing something right. Either not getting out his beer, his dinner isn't what he wants or just because he wants too. I don't know why she's still with him.

Uncle Ken didn't know i was here today, until he came up the stairs. He came into Claudia's room (cousin) & saw us hiding in the corner scared. He yelled at Claudia, then at me. Next minute i see blood everywhere. He had hit Claudia. I cried & ran to her, but he stopped me. He grabbed me & lifted me up.

Ken: Don't you DARE tell your mum what just happened, you understand me!?

Me: Yes Uncle Ken.

He threw he down & left the room.

*End of flashback*

Claudia: Dad came back to the house today, i was in the kitchen making mum lunch. I didn't hear the door open, but i walked into the lounge room & found mum bleeding & dad standing there with an angry look on his face. He had hit her, again. I was sick of his shit & called the cops. He has no right to come here & do this again. The cops came & arrested him, but mum isn't good. She's in hospital.

Me: How bad is it?

Claudia: It's not looking good right now.

She broke down into tears, so did i. This can't be happening.
