I was staring at the ceiling for ages, my dad and what Morgan told me just racing around my mind. My father was always so kind and caring, I know I was only young but he was always so nice to the people he spoke to. But what Tom said back in school kept replying in my mind.
"I don't know, you know when some person does a really bad thing, people always say they never thought they'd do anything like that" he points out.
That's exactly how I feel now, at the time I thought he was just being weird, but he was right. The door opening snaps me out of my thoughts, where Charlie sends me a smile closing the door behind him.
"Wanna talk about what happened?" He asks, taking a seat on the bed beside me, I just shake my head looking down saying it was nothing "nothing, you could h
It's been a few days since Charlie told me what happened, I haven't seen Morgan at all as he's locked himself in his room. Charlie said he had a plan to get us out of here, he told me it was foolproof which I guess means it's good. But if this works I get to go back home to Marley and my mum, where I can ask my mum for the truth and will have to explain to Marley everything that's happened, I'm not looking forward to that. I was taking a midday nap, I mean there was nothing else to do when the door opens causing me to jump. Charlie walks into the room holding a bottle in his hands, he makes his way over to me stroking my hair. "You know I love you right, more than anything," he says, I just nod while he opens the lid of the bottle "then just know this is gonna keep you safe," he says, before he forces whatever liquid was in the bottle from m
We soon arrive at my house, I look at Charlie who parks the car up outside. I still didn't know if this was a good idea, it would make me feel better to have him there but Marley will lose his mind. Before I could speak Charlie shakes his head getting out, he knew what I was gonna say before I even said it! I sigh joining him outside the car, where my family home was stood right in front of me. I just had fear take over my body staring at it, I've never been this scared to walk in this house, actually, I've never been scared to walk in the house. Charlie takes my hand leading me down the path, with every step we took the more nervous I got. When we finally reach the door I just stare at Charlie, I didn't know if I should knock before we walk in. Charlie gestures for me to take the handle answering my question, I nod taking a breath before taking ahold of the handle opening the door. The smell of home fills my no
I stand frozen at the door not daring to turn, I could tell who it was by their voice. Charlie remained behind me with his hand on my back, the door was wide open at this point where my neighbours smile at me, but I couldn't return the smile. "Dad?" I hear Marley ask then he begins to cry along with my mother but I shake my head. "I can't do this" is all I say walking out the house, I hear my dad start calling my name but I don't turn my head even for a second. Charlie unlocks the car where I immediately climb in, out the corner of my eye I see someone running out of the house but I shake my head turning to look at Charlie. He sends me a soft smile turning the car on, before the person could reach my door we were driving away.
The next morning went by so quickly, I was kind of nervous to walk into school being completely different. I didn't have anything I normally would, I wasn't in my normal uniform and I didn't have my bag with all my supplies, I didn't even have a pen! As we make our way into the school gates I feel eyes on me, everyone stops and looks at us but mostly me. Charlie looks over at me smiling placing a kiss on my head, I look up at him smiling as he gives my hand he's holding a little squeeze. On our journey further into school, I caught sight of two people, James and Lily were stood there shocked staring at me. I take a look at Charlie who was giving dirty looks to some guy, I make us stop moving to talk to him. "I'll just be a minute" I smile, placing a kiss on his lips before running over to my two friends "Lil-" I start to speak, but I'm wrapped in a tight hug before I could finish my sentence.
For the whole lesson after that James didn't utter word, Tom on the other hand wouldn't shut up. He was going on about how proud he was of me and how he knew I'd do that one day, I didn't know where that came from in me but I'm kinda glad I did it. Once the lesson was over Tom and I head to English, a lesson Charlie was in and I actually couldn't wait to see him. Tom and I make our way down the hall, my arm linked with his as he went on and on about what happened, by the end I was laughing at him. As we walk into the class Charlie was already there, Tom had to stop off to chat this girl up and wouldn't let me leave, he didn't get her number if you were wondering. Charlie sends me a smile as we walk over to our seats, Lily sends me a smile where I look at Charlie and shrug. I take my seat beside her directly in front of Charlie, Lily immediately smiles as sit down. "I was hoping you'd sit next to me" she smiles,
It's been about a month since I spoke with dad, we haven't heard a thing from either parent, but honestly, we don't need them. Charlie, me and the guys all moved into the house with Marley as the house was much too big for him to live in alone, that and there was so many of us squeezing into Charlie's place. Speaking of Charlie, after everything with my family he saw that life was too short and reached out to his. They haven't met in person yet but they talk over the phone a lot, it's made him happy which is all that matters. Today was Marley's big football game, the guys and I were just finding our seats to watch him. Charlie and the guys have started to try and get on with Marley, I mean they kind of have to as they live in his house. Don't get me wrong they do have their moments, but at the end of the day, we all sit down, eat pizza and watch tv. Loud cheers snap me out of thoughts wher
The annoying beeping sound of my alarm wakes me up, I sit up rubbing my eyes placing my hand on the alarm to shut it up. I go to lay back down but my door knocks, my twin brother Marley knows me too well, I would've just fallen back to sleep. I groan pulling myself out of bed but land on the floor, why can't school start in the afternoon?! I remain on the floor for a few minutes before finally getting up, beginning to get ready. Once I was dressed I make my way downstairs, my brother Marley, like my annoying alarm clock, was being loud and obnoxious. He was blabbing on about something stupid, bits of toast falling out of his mouth as he spoke. I drop my bag onto the floor, falling into my seat myself. I get a cloth and start to push the bread crumbs back onto his side of the table, does this dude think is he's Hansel and Gretel or something? Once his bread crumb trail was safely on his side of the table, I place
After morning form, James and I start our journey to maths, it being the subject I was good at makes people think I enjoy it, just because I'm good at it doesn't mean I like it! I slowly make my way into the classroom sitting at my seat at the back of the class, James sat on one side of me and Tom, one of Charlie Wilson's friends, sat on the other side. Charlie and his friends are said to be one of the meanest people going, but Tom was actually nice well to me, he didn't like James. I pull my books out waiting for the teacher to start talking, just as Tom takes his seat beside me. "Morning Miya still stuck with him" he smiles, but points over to James who sat beside me. "You know if you want me to get rid of him, I will," he says, I just laugh shaking my head as James spoke up. "You and what army?" he mumbles, trying to stick up for himself,

After our little walk, I decided it was now time to talk to Morgan, I leave Charlie with Richard and Jonah and make my way to Morgan's room. Once I knock on the door I hear shuffling, I went to open the door but it's immediately opened Morgan standing there. He seems to look relieved when he realised it was me, he looks both ways down the hall before dragging me into the room."I know what you're here about and I've finally got all the answers for you," he says, taking a seat at one of his computer desks, he had a few dotted around the room.I move what looked like a hard drive off one of the chairs, before taking a seat looking at him. He opened a draw pulling a folder out handing it to me, I look at the blue folder taking it from him."Darrel was right, your dad was one of t
The drive home was just full of silence, Morgan told me he wanted to get all the information about my dad before he told me, he didn't want to leave anything out or get it wrong. I was now trying to remember the times with my dad, the complete opposite to what I've tried to do these last few years. But every time I'd think about him, it was all happy times not at all what the guy said he was like. Then a memory soon pops into my mind, one I didn't even know I had. I would have been about five years old, Marley was playing football in the back garden while I was reading some book. My dad walks in the house throwing his keys by the door, he makes his way into the living room sending me a little wave, while my mum called his name. He sends me a smile before walking into the kitchen, I turn back to my book but could faintly hear their conversation from the other room.
