escape.

Chapter 8.

When I wake up I’m alone in the bed which makes me wonder if Harry left, and I hope he didn’t because I wanted to talk to him about what he said last night. The drugs talking or not, I need to sort this out and work out whether it’s going to go anywhere or if it’s not even worth trying.

I walk down the hallway and stop at Charly’s door assuming she would still be asleep I turn the door knob and “OH MY GOD” I half laugh half yell as I slam the door shut.

The images of seeing Charly and Liam having sex flash in my mind and I can’t seem to get rid of them as I reach the kitchen and get myself a drink.

“Mummy what happed?” I look up and see Panda seated on Harry’s lap watching Barbie of Swan Lake and I can’t hold back my smile at how into the movie Harry looks.

“Nothing baby, what are you doing with Harry?” I laugh as he finally turns his attention to me. My eyes move to where Panda is playing with Harry’s hands while watching her movie. “What was with the scream?” he says returning his gaze to the movie. “I’ll tell you later” I laugh as I turn on the kettle. I still can’t get the mental image out of my head.

“Do you want some coffee?” I ask Harry as I take a seat on the bench. “No thanks, I’ve already had some.” He replies without removing his eyes from the screen.

I grab my coffee and take a seat on the couch opposite where Harry and Panda are sitting. “You are really into this movie” I say glancing at Harry as I take a sip of my coffee, with a smirk on my face.

“Shut up, my niece makes me watch them but I haven’t seen this one.” He tries to hide his smile.

“I didn’t know Kate had a daughter?” I ask finishing my coffee, as I hear Charly’s door open.

“Nah she doesn’t. We have an older sister who has a little girl, Emily.” He speaks with Panda still playing with his hands. He doesn’t seem to mind and it makes me smile, it such a cute sight.

I see Charly enter the room in the corner of my eye but I turn away, I can’t even look at her anymore. I’m too scarred.

“Sorry about that” she says taking a seat on the couch next to me.

“Its fine” I say placing my cup on the coffee table.

“Can’t you look at me now?” I try to squirm away a little but Charly notices and climbs on top of my and starts hugging me. “Baby love me” I can’t help but burst out in laughter as I fall back onto the couch with Charly still on top of me.

“What are you two doing?” Charly and I look to the hallway to see Liam standing there staring at us with a gob smacked expression on his face.

We look to each other then back to Liam before laughing even harder.

“You two are like little kids you weirdo’s.” Liam says before walking into the kitchen. “What is everyone doing today?” Liam asks as he comes back into the lounge, Charly still on me watching Barbie. “I’m staying here and relaxing. Might get some ice cream.” I reply “can we have ice cream mummy?!” Panda says jumping off Harry and running over to me and Charly.
