~chapter 3~
Beth's point of view
Chad took one step towards me, and i took one back. Making sure the distance between us didn't shorten.
'i-i'm not Sonny', i stammered.
Suddenly, i saw anger flash in his eyes and he ran towards me. He grabbed my shoulders in his pale fists and i heard a porcelain dish smash. I turned my head to see a blonde figure rushing towards Chad.
CeCe's point of view
I saw Dad seize Beth's shoulders. I dropped the bowl full of popcorn and it smashed on the floor. I ran up to my Dad and my fist collided with his cheek-bone, and he fell to the side. I took Beth's hand, 'He's not gonna hurt you too', and i dragged her out of the house and around the corner and climbed into my old hiding place.
'what did you mean by him hurting me too?', Beth asked.
'it's nothing..'
'yes it is!', she exclaimed, 'and why are we in a bush?'
i sighed, 'this is the bush i used to hide in, when my dad-'
I stopped.
'when my Dad hit me.'
'HE WHAT!', Beth stood up and i pulled her back down.
'be quiet! some-one could hear you!
'fine. but he doesn't hit you anymore.. does he?'. She looked at me with concern in her eyes.
'no, well.. yeah. sometimes.'
'YOU'VE GOT-'
'quiet Beth!'
she began to whisper, 'you've got to tell some-one!'
'it's fine! really, i can handle this.'
Beth became silent. She smoothed out her green and pink stripped night dress without knowing it. She silently slid her head onto my shoulder and fell asleep,
deep in thought.
I awoke to the sound of police sirens and a police officer walking towards the bush. The first thing that came into my head was 'Oh God! what have i done now!'
The bush opened up and a tall, mean looking police man looked down at me.
'Cecilia Rochelle Cooper?'
'yeah?'
'come with me.', he nodded to Beth, 'and bring your friend.'
Beth's Point Of View
I felt CeCe dragging me up off the floor and taking me towards a police car. We got the car and a stressed, middle aged looking police officer stared at me and asked, 'name?'
'um, Beth Kendra Madeleine Munroe'
'Mr Cooper has been worried about you two'
I started to wonder why CeCe's dad would be worried about me, but then the car drove around the corner and stopped outside CeCe's house.
we got out and walked up the drive to find Chad running frantically out of the door.
He ran straight up to us and put his arms around us both.
'I'm so glad your both okay!'
CeCe leaned over and whispered on my ear, 'why is so worried about you?'
sorry that its really short.. but there is LOTS of good things to come!
