Aleshas P.O.V~
I sat in the car staring hoplessly at the clouds, the world moving into the past. My brother, Luke, was driving us down the route to Calum's flat. I felt nervous, worried and most of all, unloved. Butterflies fluttered inside my stomach. Where did they go last night? What has happened to them? I asked myself. I placed my hand on my forehead, rubbing it gently. I was confused, lost. They may never find us. The thought of that happening made a lump appear in my throught, making me feel a little sick inside. I quickly shuffle my music, trying to forget all the nasty things.
🌸
Let me explain to you what actually happened last night:
For the past month, Mum had been constantly falling out with Dad. Every day they would disagree about something. Dad found it pretty hard to keep his anger in, well so did Mum for that matter. But they had never fought as bad as last night.
"Luke!" I screamed, tears pouring down my face. I was scrunched up on the bed, holding a pillow over my ears, trying to block out all the offensive messages coming from my parents foul mouths.
"Everything will be ok, Ali" said Luke running into my room, tears filling his eyes too. He sat down on my bed, faintly listening to what was happening.
"I HATE YOU! HOW COULD YOU SAY SUCH A THING, THREATENING TO KILL ME AND THE KIDS? YOU'RE EVIL, YOU F*CKING IDIOT!" I heard Mum scream. I knew Dad didn't like us that much but I never knew he wanted to kill us! He would get annoyed when we didn't do what he wanted us to do straight away. He would always shout at us for things we hadn't done, like the time when I smashed the mug and he blamed it all on Luke because he was the "responsible one" in our house at that time.
"WELL DO YOU KNOW WHAT? I HATE YOU TOO! YOU CAN LOOK AFTER THE KIDS. DEAL WITH ALL THEIR "PROBLEMS" AND LIVE A LIFE OF YOUR OWN, HAPPILY, OK?"
That made me and Luke well up even more. I tipped my head down into the pillow as he pulled me in for a cuddle. "Ssh, ssh Ali, everything will be fine ok?"
But he was wrong. Straight after the last scream, Mum picked up her bag, leaving the house, followed by Dad. Slam. The whole house shook. Then I heard the two cars part, leaving in different directions. My heart shattered, just like glass, into millions of tiny pieces. All the love and happiness had just washed away. I had no hope after that, in my parents ever coming back. Neither did Luke.
🌸
Calum? says Luke, out of breath down the phone.
Hey Luke, whats up? he asks.
Calum, thank god you are there! We need your help. Mum and Dad have just left the house after a big argument. Alesha is in tears, we are in danger and-
Whoa Luke, hang on, slow down.
Im sorry Cal.
No Luke, don't be sorry ok? If you and your sister want to stay at mine for a while, your welcome.
Are you sure? What about the house?
Yes its fine. It would be nice to have some company. Make sure you shut all the windows and lock the doors. Pack what your really need.
"Ok thanks Calum, your a life saver!"
🌸
So here we are now, travelling down to Calum, in Sydney. I just hope we hear some news about Mum and Dad soon.
