CAKEEATER'SGIRLY99 - Thank you for your continuous reviews, I'm sorry about the wait but I hope it was worth it. Larson and McGill were just there by coincidence I suppose. I haven't got much of a life either so we're in the same boat ain't we, but who cares eh?

Chapter 4
JULIE'S P.O.V
I laid awake for the following 6 hours, unable to sleep through the anxiety that plagued my being. I could hear Adam's hurtful words play over and over in my mind. His actions that had terrified me and brought back the many memories of my father. Every time I closed my eyes I could see Adam kicking the table, Adam hitting that Larson and McGill, my father starting to take his anger out on the furniture and then as his anger progressed he had begun to use my mother as his punch bag.
When it turned 6.30am I could hear the birds outside chirping loudly as the sun began rising. The happiness made me feel sick to my stomach. Finally I gave in and got up off the couch, folding the blankets up and leaving them sat neatly on one edge. I grabbed the note paper from the side of the phone and left a message for Charlie. I put the note atop the blankets and grabbed the jacket I had arrived in and pulled my boots on and left.
I headed toward the park where I wandered aimlessly, I found it hard to believe that at this ungodly hour, people were already out jogging, walking dogs and whatever else people normally did when they came to the park. The thoughts that had haunted me all night still yet to disappear.
"Huh, some good this is doing". I told myself.
ADAM'S P.O.V
I knocked tentatively on Charlie's door. I had spent most of last night regretting my words to Julie, I had been panicking about where she was up until Charlie had called and even then I couldn't sleep, hoping and praying that this wouldn't be the end of us.
"Adam, she's not here". Charlie opened the door and yawned as he stepped aside to let me come in.
"What do you mean she's not here, I thought she spent the night here"? I asked.
"She did, but I'm not her keeper Adam, I can't keep her here, she must have left before I got up, she left me a note saying she was trying to clear her head. She's probably already back at yours". He explained.
"Thanks Charlie". I replied.
"Anytime". He replied as he closed the door behind me.
I couldn't help but think where Julie would have gone, if I knew her and I think I did she wouldn't have gone back home just yet, she had this thing about making people sweat, not intentionally, but all the same I knew she wouldn't be at home. I begun walking around, thinking of places she would go, Without realising I had spotted her sat on a bench on the hill over looking the pond.
"Julie". I said slowly on reaching her. "I've been looking all over for you".
"Why so you can accuse me even more". She spoke softly her voice more fearful than harsh.
"I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have taken my anger out on you". I stepped toward her.
"You have no idea how much you scared me last night". She stepped away from me as tears claimed her eyes. "I've seen all this once before and I never want to see it again".
"What are you saying Jules"? I asked my own fear growing in the pit of my stomach. "Are you finishing with me"? She didn't reply but just stood looking at me.
"No, I just, I just think that maybe I ought to move out for a few weeks". She blurted quickly, but relief washed over me when her first word entered my brain.
"Why"? I asked finally.
"I need some space and time, I need to build my trust in you again. I know I owe you an explanation but I can't give you one here".
"Ok, let's go home". I reached out for her hand, feeling her flinch then relax at my touch.
When we got home, she went and got showered and changed, then returned to me in the living room. She had slight bags under her eyes and I knew she hadn't gotten much sleep last night. Whilst she had been getting showered I had called Charlie to let him know I had found her, then called Luis and Ken to apologise for my behaviour last night.
"It wasn't you kicking the table that scared me the most you know". She finally spoke up. "I've never told anyone this, but a few months before my dad passed away, he used to go out every week and come back totally smashed. He started getting into small pub brawls but when he was thrown out he used to come home, break some furniture then be ok, soon it got more than that and he started hitting my mom, he never got chance to hit me but the fear was always there". She stuttered through her tears. I got up and sat at her side, pulling her into a tight hug.
"Julie, I would NEVER hit you, you know that right"?
"I know, but it doesn't stop the flashbacks, or the fear. That's why I need some space". She nodded crying openly in my arms.
About half an hour later, Julie was just putting a few things in a bag to take with her to Connie's. I hated the fact she was moving out even for a few weeks but once I had seen the hurt and fear in her eyes, I understood why. She had assured me that this wasn't the end of us, but the space would do us both some good. Just as I grabbed my keys to take her to Connie's there was a loud knock at the door.
"I'll get it". Julie said as she stepped forward and opened the door.
"Hello, I'm Detective Inspector Cooper, does an Adam Banks live here"? I could hear a voice ask.
"Err, yeah". Julie stepped aside letting me come to the door.
"How can I help you"? I asked, but knowing full well what this was all about as did Julie.
"Would you accompany me to the police department for questioning on what happened between you and a Mr Larson last night please"? His tone staying steady and emotionless.
"Sure". I replied. "Jule's there's some money in my wallet, get a cab to Connie's, I'll call you later ok". I threw her my wallet and flashed a smile at her before leaving with the Detective and the officer accompanying him.
Well what do you think? Please R&R!!!!!
