Never Alone || Carchelle

Carla

"OI!" I bellow at Michelles back as she walks away from me "MICHELLE! WILL YOU JUST TALK TO ME?" I plea with her but she continues to walk away. I jog and catch up with her, yanking her arm to force her to look at me "Michelle, it's been 3 days, just talk to me!" I exclaim, she scoffs and my heart seems to shatter. "Chelle? Come on. What did I do?" I murmur softly. Michelle turns her steely brown eyes up to my eyes and shrugs. "Chelle" I growl and she finally snaps "leave me alone! I hate you! I HATE YOU!" she screams and my jaw drops "you what?" I stutter not believing that just came out of her mouth "you heard me... leave me alone Carla, I just can't..." Chelle spits and before I know what's going on, my hand's on her cheek, a loud snap echos round the street and she gasps "You bitch" I say as I turn away but her hands are suddenly in my hair, grasping, tugging, yanking. She's pulling me around like a rag doll and I let her. My hairs messed up, falling over my eyes, my hands are wrapped around my waist protecting my small bump and tears are streaming down my face as I sink to me knees as someone finally pulls Michelle off me. My heart's beating itself out of my chest and I can hardly breathe as panic overtakes my thoughts and consumes me whole. I don't know how long I'm lying sobbing and shaking on the street for before someone finally pulls me up and into a house but when I finally escape my mind and the feeling of his hands all over me, I'm in Roberts house. He's looking at me, concern etched into his face and he asks me if I'm alright. Words flop out my mouth, the world still sounding like it's under water. My hands are still around my waist and I can't get them to let go. Robert tries to coax words out of me but my brain won't cooperate, so he gives up and takes me back to my flat. Before I close the door he stops me "Carla... You need to know something" he says and my heart stops "is she ok?" I ask and he smiles, a weird look in his eyes "she broke up with me... She loves you" he spits "oh and you might want to think about going to the gym, she won't want you looking like a whale" he grimaces before walking away and my world crumbles. Fear and anger flare in my heart and for the second time since Frank, I feel truly powerless. I need to find Chelle I think and before I realise it, I'm at The Rovers Return and being taken to Chelles old room. I don't even knock, just storm in "is it true?" I snap and Chelle looks up from her pillow "get out" she fires back but I don't move "is it true that you love me?" I state and her eyes widen. "What... Um... How... Who" she stutters and my heart cracks she won't want you looking like a whale my brain throws back Roberts words at me and I wipe away a stray tear dribbling down my cheek "Stay away from me" I whisper, trying to hide how much those words kill me inside, I ignore her pleas and leave in tears, pushing past my family, Liz and Steve who all want to know what on earth just happened but how do I tell them I'm in love with someone who loves the old me? How do I say I love her too when she can't even look at me without being reminded of the most painful time of her life? How do I love someone who's just hurt me and who I've just hurt in return? When did life get so complicated?
