Charlie's POV
10:00 my alarm clock bleeped at me, it didn't matter, I've been awake for a while. Since the phone rang, mum picked it up, there were hushed voices then the phone was down again. She didn't know I was awake, because she just sat there on the steps and cried. I snuck out of my room and saw her, head in hands, sobbing quietly. What ever it is, it must be pretty bad, she hardly ever cries.
After a while, it stopped.
"Charlie! Breakfast!" Mum called, pulling me from my thought.
I threw the covers off and wandered downstairs. She was happy as usual, pulling butter and jam from the fridge for my breakfast. I smiled and went to hug her; we've always been pretty close.
After breakfast
I took my rollerblades from the hook by the front door and threw them over my shoulder. "Bye mum." I called and went to open the door.
"Charlie!" mum called. "Come back here for a sec."
I closed the door and went to sit at the table. "I've done all my homework for the holidays mum." I assured her. "I've got my books and all."
"I've got to tell you something…" She started, sitting across the table from me. "This morning I got a call from your dad." I stood up.
"How did he get our number?" I asked furious, we ran from him all those years ago for a reason (well she took me and ran). He was horrible, he used to beat her when he got angry.
"He keeps in touch. Anyway, that's not what I want to tell you, he's just moved here….." She called after me, but I took my skates and stormed from the flat
I ran, down the street to a bench and strapped my skates on.
How could she be in touch with him, he's evil.
"Slow down Charlie!" Someone called after me. I turned around angrily, expecting to see mum. But it was Fulton, out of breath skating after me. I slowed to a stop.
"Sorry. Got to a speed you know."
"Its okay, hey I swear we were supposed to meet at yours?" He laughed, "Not at 20 miles an hour down the road."
"Sorry dude. Lets go, don't want to be late for the first day of camp do we?" I covered up and started to skate towards the school.
