7) Safety is a myth

I held Teardrop close. I smile and kiss her cheek "hey hey hey it's fine." I grin. "Be happy!" I try to cheer her up, spinning her around. It didn't take much for her to smile. She giggles and hugs me tightly

"I didn't mean to touch it... I just... They were so beautiful..." She whispers and looks down.

I look at her and smile "I know but you can't go round touching people's things..." I frown slightly but she shakes her head "they told me too... They told me I had to" she whimpers and holds me close. I look at her and frown.

"Who did sweetie?" I ask softly, running a hand through her beautiful, brown hair.

She looks at me "the voices" she smiles weakly.

I look at her. Probably an imaginary friend. We eventually got back home after a long walk. I wouldn't really call it home though... More like a house from hell.

I put her down "sweetie I have to go to the shops okay? You know what the boys are like... So go to my room and hide until I get back..." I smile. She nods softly and runs inside. I sigh and put on a jacket since I forgot one earlier and started my long journey. I need a car...

Teardrop's POV

I ran upstairs quickly. I knew he wasn't home, yet. No one was home for now. I rubbed my eyes and ran to the closet. I move over Bella's shoes, not that there was many, and slowly slid in. Thank god for my small, petite body. I pulled my knees into my chest, whispering to myself "it will be okay it will be okay it will be o-" I cut off when I hear the sound of a door shut. He's home.

I go quiet, nothing to hear but my loud breathing. "TEARDROP" I hear a loud booming voice. My eyes widen and I stay so still I could be mistaken for a statue. I hear the creaks of the stairs, before the loud step on the landing. Every step got closer and closer until I heard him open and shut every door but this one. I heard the door open and peeked through the crack in the wardrobe. The bottom made a creak as I moved to see.

My eyes widened and I froze. He walked to the wardrobe and frowned but walked back to the door and shut it. I let out a sigh of relief, relaxing a little bit until the wardrobe doors swung open. "Let's play my favourite game" he grins maliciously.

Bella's POV

I finally arrived at the shops. Needless to say, I passed gangs. Yep. The same old gangs followed by stares and wolf whistles. I walk into the shop, grabbing some milk, bread and look at the aisle chocolate bars. What I would love to do to taste chocolate again. I smile and pick up 2 small bars of Galaxy and walk to the checkout. I put them on the counter and he scans them. I pull out my spare change that I got from finding money on the floor.

I wasn't a tramp but if I saw £5 on the floor who wouldn't pick it up?! I hand the £5 note over and he frowns "it's 5.99" he growls. I look up "sorry.." I mumble and take out one of the overpriced chocolate bars. I put it back and take the bag.

I walk out and sigh, running a hand through my hair. I look up abruptly as I feel my body clash against the wall. I groan and look at the guys surrounding me. "Get off. I swear to god I will get Denzil..." I threaten. Everyone was scared of Denzil. Who wouldn't be? But there was one problem... He played by his own rules and didn't listen to no one.

I look at them as they just laugh in my face. I frown "I'm serious! Get off me!" I shout, pushing them harder. I knew better then to scream for help. I've dealt with this one too many times. They laugh and start to attack my neck with dirty kisses.
I groan "I'm carrying his baby. Get off." I snap.

They quickly pulled away and mumbled something and walked the other direction. I knew that would work. Denzil doesn't care about children, or his own. But anything to help him get into a fight.

I sigh and started my long journey back home. I walk up to the door and open it. I heard nothing. My eyes widened and I ran upstairs. I looked at all the doors and opened one of them. Lucky guess. My eyes widened and I ran over, tears rolling down my cheek.
