A/N: Sorry about taking so long to update. Oh and pay really close attention the POVS, they change a lot in this chapter.
The Secrets of an Abusive Home
Chapter 9 – Thursday – Nick's POV
Quote: Worrying doesn't stop the bad stuff from happening; it just stops you from enjoying the good stuff.
I pulled up in my drive way after leaving Grant's place to see the lights on and my dad's car actually in the driveway for once.
I wonder what the occasion is, I think sarcastically.
"Oh good, Nick you're home." My dad's voice called from across that room where he stood next to a blonde chick that looked to be 24 maybe and a pile of suitcases. "I just wanted to let you know, me and Candy are going on a little trip, so we'll be gone for a little while. There's money in the jar for you as always."
I nodded my head as my dad lead 'Candy' outside with her giggle the whole way.
Sighing, I walked towards the jar and counted the cash, dialing the number I knew by heart on my phone and think who I should invite over for tonight.
"What do you want tonight, Nick?" the familiar gruff voice spoke through my phone.
"My usual," I ordered. When I heard the dial tone I quickly hung up and called Brittany.
"Hey," she said flirtatiously when she answered.
"Hey," I replied. "Want to come over tonight?"
Without a moment's hesitation, her high voice came back through the phone, "Sure, I'll tell my parents I'm sleeping over Ashley's. I'll be there in about 20 minutes."
"Until then," I said hanging up just as the doorbell rang.
"Here you go," a gruff voice said from the door as I took the bottles, "Enjoy." I nodded my head as I watched him walk away and I opened up a bottle to take my first sip of the night, the bitter taste barely registering in my mind.
-Macey McHenry's POV-
"I have my report card, mom." No answer. "Mom?" I tried again but still got nothing from the women talking on her Bluetooth. "Jane, I have my report card." The women turned around, telling the person she was talking to, to hold on as she took the card from my hands.
Her eyes scanned over the grades before she threw it on the ground, "Macey, I swear to god if you're cheating, I'll –"
"I'm not cheating, Mom!" I screamed.
"If I have to write another check to that damn high school for you doing something wrong one more time, I will not be happy, understand?"
I starred at her for a long time debating if I should continue trying to prove to her I'm not cheating or if I should let it go. "I understand, Jane." I answered finally.
"Good," and without another word she turned around and was back talking to whoever it was.
My dad entered through the doors walking towards his room and I called out, "Hey Dad." But my words were only meet with silence I watched his retreating figure walk across the rest of the room and down the hall until the door slammed shut behind him.
-Liz's POV-
"Hey, Mom," I said walking into the kitchen where she was seated at the table.
"Hello, Elizabeth. How was your day?" she asked.
"Good, I –"
"Oh my, Chris is home. Do I look okay?" she asked frantically pulling at her skirt. (A/N: Chris is Zach's dad.)
I smiled slightly, "You look great, Mom." She smiled slightly before rushing to the door to great my step-father.
I grabbed my phone speed dialing number 2. "Hey," the voice came through the phone.
"Hey Jonas, want to come over?"
"Be there in ten," he said before hanging up.
-Jonas's POV-
The second I walked into Liz's pink room, she locked the door and jumped on me, wrapping her legs around me waist and putting her lips against mine.
I backed her up slowly to her very pink bed, lying down on top of her, kissing her wildly as I went.
-Bex's POV-
I sat at home watching a movie as Grant sat at the kitchen table doing homework. Well more like pretending to do homework while he was actually texting under the table.
Now why is Grant in my house? Good question. His mom and dad called and asked if he could spend the night because there were needed for something important, but they didn't say what it is was. They Zach was unavailable which doesn't make sense, because he didn't say anything about being gone and we have school tomorrow.
But anyway, I kept glancing at Grant, hoping to catch his attention and call him over to watch the movie with me but I knew deep down I wouldn't get his attention until after my parents went to bed.
-Time Skip-
The night was silent as I crept out of my room, walking quietly past my parents' bedroom while double checking for my mother's soft snoring and my dad tossing in his sleep.
I slowly made my way onto the balcony where Grant stood waiting. As soon as I walked out his strong arms wrapped around me and my arms wrapped around his neck.
What can I say, he was my kryptonite and as his lips pressed to mine and my knees started to wobble, the bigger my smile got and my heart fluttered.
-Grant's POV-
I stood kissing this beautiful girl, my arms wrapped around her waist and hers around my neck, but I couldn't help but think back on the day.
Not that I'm proud of it or anything, but I'm know as one of the schools worst players, although, I haven't even lost my v card yet, but who needs to know that?
I loved my reputation, and the girls seemed to like it, which was always a plus, but then again, I didn't really want any of those girls, I wanted the one in my arms right now. But for some reason, no matter how much my heart tells me to make her mine, part of me keeps her a secret, savoring these wonderful nights we spend alone out here all by ourselves.
A/N: Hey, so this was kind of a boring chapter where you find out a lot of info but not to much happens, and I'm sorry about that, but I didn't want to do and Zach/Cammie POV because a lot of stuff is happening in the next chapter and I want to do it all at once, so yeah.
1. Sorry about not updating for two weekends and updating on Monday (today) this weekend. But here's why, the first weekend, I ended up coaching all day Saturday, like all day and then Sunday I had so much homework, I didn't have time to write. The next weekend I went to a play Saturday and then I had to coach again all day Saturday and I don't know, my time just got away from me. Plus this weekend, the blizzard hit us and no one was allowed to drive for 24 hours and we got 33 inches of snow, I think so yeah. Forgive me?
2. Challenge: Who found this chapter a little boring?
3. Challenge #2: (More like a question) Is it bad if I finish a 600 page book in a little over a day and a half, while still going to school and skating all the time?
4. So for Bex and Grant, when he isn't randomly spending the night at Bex's house (by the way, you'll find out where his parents and Zach are in the next chapter) he and Bex meet up at this little spot in the woods which you will also see later but for tonight there just at her balcony because he's already at her house so why not?
5. If any one's confused let me know and I'll answer any questions you have.
Love you guys, please let me know what you think in a review and sorry again that it was late.
#3: Have you ever seen Austin and Ally, because I think I'm obsessed.
Love you guys, have a great week : )
