"I know this is all an act." Declan hissed at Andrew.
"Don't know what you're talking about" Andrew said trying to sound innocent.
"Your little act, trying to be all nice you're not fooling me" Declan said defensively
"well I'm sorry you feel that way" Andrew replied turning away.
"And you're not conning Mum either." Declan told Andrew getting angrier.
"Look why don't you just stay out of this!" Andrew almost yelled.
"Why? What are you going to do?" Declan mocked him.
Andrew felt the hot burning anger bubbling up inside him and tried to fight the urge to hit him.
"Look I'm trying to be really, really nice here." Andrew said shortly his voice strained.
"Yeah well it's not working is it?" Declan says.
"Well you just get on so well with people don't ya! Is that why Kate can't kicked you out? We can't all be Mr. Perfect you know!" Andrew shouted startling everyone around him.
"Leave Kate out of this." Declan yelled lunging for Andrew
"She deserves someone better than you!" Andrew shouted back.
He felt as if a short fuse inside him had just fizzed out. People say when you get angry you can see red, well all Andrew could see in his vision was red.
Andrew pushed Declan and a fight broke out between the two of them.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Lucas yelled getting in between the two of them. "Just calm down."
"Just back off Andrew! All you've ever done in this family is cause friction between us, and I'm sorry to say that tomorrow I'm getting Paul to buy you a ticket and send you back home to Sydney on the first flight possible!" Rebecca yelled in pure range.
Andrew just stood there stunned; he had never heard Rebecca use that kind of tone before.
"But I have nowhere to go…" Andrew whispered under his breath.
"What was that?" Paul asked moving towards Andrew with pity in his eyes.
"Nothing. It's clear I never had any home here anyway…" Andrew mumbled as he walked out the door slamming it behind him as he went.
Nobody even tried to stop him. That's when he knew no one in that home cared for him.
"Where do you think he's going?" Rebecca asked concerned. She hadn't meant to snap like that at Andrew but she was through with him and his scheming.
"He's probably just going somewhere to cool off for awhile" replied Lucas casually as he went to turn the T.V on.
Just then they heard the low rumbling of an engine being started.
Rebecca, Lucas, Declan and Paul who had been quiet through this whole outburst rushed outside to see Andrew backing out of the driveway in the car.
"Andrew stop!" Paul screamed.
Andrew was still only 16 and was only on his L plates.
"Andrew this isn't going to help anything!" Rebecca pleaded.
But it was too late Andrew had already took off in the car speeding down the road.
He didn't know what it was, the pure hatred for them, the need to escape, or maybe even the longing to be cared for. He knew it was a mistake to drive off but he didn't care he just wanted to put as much space between him and 'them' as possible.
He had come here from Sydney after his mum had kicked him out of the house calling him a worthless shit who didn't deserve to live.
Do I deserve to live? Andrew wondered. I mean I know I've messed up a lot but is what I've done really all that bad…? Andrew thought to himself.
He raced through the streets turning and breaking with ease.
Suddenly Andrew turned around the corner sharply.
He saw a bright light and heard the loud screech of the car breaks but it was too late.
'They hate me… ' Was the last thought he had before it all turned black.
