I Only Do This For You
Chapter 5
I was woken up by the sound of my phone bleeping I reaching into the bag and took it out opening the text message which was from
‘I’ve stayed home again today, Mum can’t get the day off work at all come home’ I read I got up and made my way out I ran to my
house and opened the door I huggedas she came from the kitchen
“I’m just gonna get a hot shower a minute” I said going upstairs into the shower room I turned the shower on minutes later I
was disturbed bybanging on the door I opened it and she pushed me inside locking the door again
“What th…” I started but she silenced me
“Dads come back his car just pulled up the drive hopefully he’s just forgotten something” she whispered then there was a knock at the door
my heart thudded hard inside my chest
“darling” Dad called I went and hid behind the shower curtain as she opened the door and popped her head round the corner
“Yes Dad” she answered
“I wondered if you knew where I'd left my pager” Dad asked her
“On the table in the living room it might be hidden under a newspaper” she replied
“Oh right yes well I’ll be off again then bye sweetie” he said and left we heard the front door slam shut and a car door close went
to check if he’d gone
“Coast clear” she said and I sighed with relief he’d kill me if he knew I was here I carried on having my shower and changed into some
clean fresh clothes before going downstairs into the kitchen and seeing a plate of sausages, bacon, egg, chips and beans on the table
“You must be starving”said putting a plate down for her self I nodded and gratefully ate what she had cooked
“Thanks” I said and began to wash up
“No problem”smiled as she dried and put stuff away
“I hated last night” she suddenly said
“Me too” I said
“I went up to your room and sat in my usual place wishing that this was all just a terrible nightmare and thinking what we may have been
chatting about”
“Same here” I said walking into the living room followed by Anouk
“So you feeling better today?” I asked sitting on the sofa
“A little probably be back in school tomorrow” she replied and I nodded we chatted for a while longer 5PM soon came around and I left the
house after saying yet another emotional goodbye toI went back to my ‘Home’ another night alone and cold the nights were getting
even darker and colder as winter was approaching…
