A lot of shouting in this chapter….

thought i'd update a little earlier tonight:)


She began giggling to her friends then faced Liam again. Liam sat on their table and started talking to her, making her blush more with every word.

I ignored the feeling of jealousy that rose in my chest, and fake laughed along with frank.

Okay, maybe this wasn't the best idea I've had…

The girl began twirling strands of hair in her fingers. "Stupid bitch" I mumbled under my breath. She wrote what I presumed was her number down on a piece of paper and handed it to Liam. He winked at her then swaggered back to us.

He threw the number on the table and it slid to me. "Piece of cake" he said, sitting down.

"Well done Romeo" I replied sarcastically.

"When did mike say we can leave?" I asked, slowly dragging a bin bag with rubbish to the bins. Liam cheeked his watch.

"Another 2 hours" we all groaned. I dumped the bag next to the bin. I walked over to a bench and sat down, sighing.

"We're being treated like slaves" I pointed out. They both nodded and sat next to me.

I rolled my eyes as the head teacher walked up to us. "You're supposed to be helping out, not sitting down!" he yelled.

"Actually we're doing all your shitty jobs" I replied. He laughed.

"Right, you with me, you two head down to the boys changing room and clean-up" he said, pointing in the direction.

I sighed and stood up. "We go where she goes" Liam argued. I smiled to myself.

"Get to the boys changing rooms or I'll tell mike you refused to help out" he threatened. They both smiled apologetically at me and walked off.

"This way!" he stormed off and I followed behind him.

He led me to his office and closed the door behind him. I sat on a chair at his desk and placed my feet on his desk.

He sighed and sat down. "I don't like you Alex, and I'm pretty sure you don't like me" he said.

Ding, ding, ding, ding.

"but sir, I'm very fond of you actually" I said with a posh accent. He rolled his eyes at me.

"I don't care what you think of me, you're in care, you'll end up nowhere like the other care kids" he remarked smugly.

Man I hated this guy

I stood up. "ACTUALLY, one of my care workers is an ex care kid and she's written a book, I think I'll do just fine" I yelled.

"Yes, but she's still working there, don't worry I know how care kids are; always stealing and fighting, getting pregnant at a young age and ruining their baby's life, ending up having to go into prostitution." I felt myself tense up, I breathed heavily, blinking back tears.

"oh fuck this!" I screamed and stormed out his office. I walked around until I saw a sign that said 'boys changing rooms'.

I waked in the room. "Alex? Whats happened, why are you here?" frank asked me. I ignored his questions.

"you getting outta' this dump with me?" I asked him, he started at me.

"but mike will kill us-" I cut him off by scoffing and walking up to Liam.

"how about you?" I asked. He looked down at the floor then back up at me, then to frank and finally back to me.

"franks right, mike will kill us" he replied, looking guilty. I shook my head and glared at him.

"you're-you're a coward, both of you!" I screamed then ran out of the room, only hearing the sound of their voices calling after me.

I ran and ran…and ran some more.

I must've ran for at least 20 minutes. I couldn't breathe, but I didn't stop either.

Not until I arrived back at elm tree. I stopped outside the house, trying to catch my breath.

"Alex, what's happened, whats wrong" Tracy yelled, walking towards me. I felt it now, I felt the tears running down my face. It hurt, it felt like tiny pins.

I stood up and pushed past her. I didn't stop until I reached mike's office. I didn't bother knocking, I just walked in. he looked furious, but worried.

"What now?" he asked with a sigh. I wiped my tears with the back of my hand and stormed up to his desk.

"I NEED TO SEE HER" I screamed at the top of my lungs. He gave me a confused look.

"see who?" he replied, trying to calm me down. I ran my hands through my hair and quickened by breathing.

"CHARLOTTE, I NEED TO SEE HER, NOW!" I screamed again, walking the room up and down.

"Alex, you need to calm down" Gina butted in. I laughed and carried on waking, mumbling under my breath.

"NO, NO, NO, NO I NEED HER WITH ME, HE'S RIGHT, h-h-he's right!" I began crying again, holding my hair tightly. I couldn't control my actions, I couldn't breathe.

Mike stood up and approached me. "Alex, calm down, breathe" he said, putting a hand on my shoulder.

I pushed him away from me causing him to stumble backwards. "get away from me, it's your fault, YOUR FAULT" I pulled on my hair.

The room began to spin, I felt horribly sick. My eyes sight became blurry, I couldn't see anything.

I began to panic, feeling my body shaking. I heard a woman's scream then nothing but black and a feeling of emptiness.
