"Fuckin hell! Not again!" Cj slammed the phone down. I stood looking at him with fear in my eyes.
"Who narked on me?!" I thought angrily.
"Cece you can't keep doing this!" Cj said, it was clearly obvious that he was pissed off. You didn't have to be a genius to see his emotions.
"What would mum and dad think?" his voice lowering.
"They wouldn't care! It's not hard to see if they abdonned us is it?" I yelled.
"You had to go there, didn't you?"
"You started this!"
It all happened so fast. One second we're screaming at each other next I get punched in the eye.
I collapse on the floor crying and holding my eye in pain. Cj stutters and out of my non punched eye, I saw a couple tears roll down his cheeks.
"W-w-w-what have I-I-I d-done."
He tries to comfort me but I kick him in the shin. I manage to scramble to my feet. I run to my room. Slamming the door and locking it, I sink to the floor.
There was no filter on my tears. It was like waterfalls from my eyes. I could hear the sounds of knocking on my bedroom door and the desperate cries from Cj.
"Sorry," was one word he said every five seconds.
Looking at my window, there was a figure standing there. It was Marshall, he stood watching over me with sad eyes. Marshall realized that I had saw him, and motioned me to him.
I crawled on my knees to the window. I managed to open it and climb out with out Cj hearing me or busting down the door.
"Holy shit! What happened?" Marshall asked, examining my face.
"Someone narked on me to my bro and then I got a bash for it," I said angrily with tears running down my face.
"Fuckin stupid tears," I wipe my eyes while probably smudging my eye make up even more.
Marshall pulls me into a tight hug. Butterflies fly in my stomach. He strokes my hair and hums in my ear. I don't know why but people stroking my hair calms me down, Marshall knows that.
"Come with me," Marshall says. Before I can answer he sweeps off my feet, holding me close to his chest. I can hear his heart beat steadily.
He carries me to his trailer. Debby's car gone and Nate's cries can be heard from outside. Marshall opens the door ans carries me inside. He lays me on the couch.
"Stay right here. I'll go get Nate."
"Where else would I go?"
"True. I'll be right back"
Marshall leaves and returns in record time holding Nate. Who is sucking his thumb and sobbing slightly.I sit up.
"Cece!" Nate exclaims, pulling his hand of his mouth.
"Hey there Nate" I say smiling.
Marshall sets Nate down on the ground and he walks to me, holding his favorite teddy bear. It's baby blue with little black button eyes.
Marshall comes and sits next to me. Nate mumbles a few words.
"Hey Nate bet you a juice box you can't count to five" I say. I know he can and I know he likes juice boxes.
"Oh I don't know if he can," Marshall says playfully.
"I can! I can!", "1... 2... 3... 4... 5!"
"Oh you can! Good boy! You're such a smart boy! And now I owe you a juice box"
"Yay."
Our fun is cut short when a loud knock breaks through all of our laughter.
"I'll answer it. Take Nate in my bedroom. It might be your brother"
"Marshall!"
That confirmed it. Cj was looking for me. I'm not gonna go home for awhile. You can kinda see why.
"Go!"
I nodded my head, picked up Nate and entered Marshall's bedroom.
As I close the bedroom door then trailer door opens.
"Where's Cece?!"
"I don't know man."
"She's here! She's gotta be here!"
"She's not!"
"Bullshit!" Cj shouts.
Next thing I hear is Marshall shouting at Cj to get out his house.
"Nate come with me" I say holding out my hand. He takes my hand and I lead him into the closet. I leave the door a slight bit open so I can get out. I hold Nate close to me.
"Shhh" I hold my finger to my lips. Nate nods his head motioining yes. I hear the bedroom door open and slam into the wall. I quietly squeal in fright. With my free hand I clasp my hand over my mouth.
Things are thrown and smashed. I peer through the tiny crack in the door. Cj was going mental. Marshall managed to pull him out of the room. I heard the trailer door slam shut.
Me and Nate came out the closet. We saw Marshall locking the door.
All this cause I skipped a few classes of school to go to the Shelter?
A black eye and Marshall's trailer trashed?
