THANKS VERY MUCH FOR THOSE WHO LEFT A REVIEW ASKING M E TO WRITE MORE !
I wrote that story last year and then kinda stopped writing for a while cause I thought I wasn't good at it at all and it kinda depressed me as I really love writing (I have a website with my poetry, see link on my profile,and another link with lots of old fanficson this site).
But some friends tried to push me to write again so that's what I tried to do !
Hope you still enjoy my stuff.
Please review, it'll make me smile and I'll write more and more often than one chapter each year I swear ;)
p.s : remember that my first language isn't Englishso please be nice ;)
CHAPTER 2
As she had been resting there in the bathroom for 15 minutes, still half conscious and half in another world, she heard someone opening her bedroom door and coming in. At first she didn't move at all thinking it was in her mind only. But then she realized it wasn't. She kind of heard some foot steps.
"Juliette, where are you ?" her mother asked looking everywhere in her room. She knew she couldn't have left the house without being noticed so she should be there. She then thought of her bathroom, which was part of her bedroom, at the back. She walked toward it and knocked furiously on the door.
Juliette was still calm, enjoying the way she was feeling at this very moment and couldn't really pay attention to anything else. Then she heard the knocks on the bathroom door. She heard someone yelling. After a few seconds she realized it was her mother. She could barely focus and hear what she was saying.
"Juliette what are you doing in there ? Open the door right now ! I hope you're almost ready to leave ! We'll leave in 20 minutes and you better not disappoint me !" she said still knocking on the door.
Juliette was suddenly conscious of what was happening. It was like she woke up after a weird dream and everything was now clear. She recognized her mother's voice. She heard her knock furiously on the door. She knew she better clean the mess quickly and open that door. And she also knew that her mother would be expecting an explanation about why she wouldn't answer her earlier and why she was far from being ready.
"I'm alright, I'm coming…" Juliette started to say searching for her words.
"But what were you doing ? Were you not hearing me ?" her mother shouted "And open that door now !"
Juliette quickly thought about an idea. She'd say she was taking a bath and had kind of fallen asleep. That's possible, she thought, it happens to people all the time. She was back on her feet in no time. But before thinking about making that plan reality she grabbed some toilet papers to clean the blood on the ground and her arms before readjusting her blouse. Doing everything as quickly as possible she then took off her trousers and rushed in the bath tube to wet her hair and legs a bit. She then wrapped a big towel around her body, from knees to shoulders to cover her blouse. She didn't remove it otherwise her mother could see her scars. Better be careful with her mother !
"Juliette, I won't ask you again ! You get out right now !" her mother yelled at her once again.
I think everything's clean now, I can open the door, she thought while quickly glancing around the bathroom for a last time just in case her mother would come in and check. She opened the door and was face to face with her mother. She looked angry. Juliette tried to look as 'normal' as possible, at least as normal as she could be for her mother.
"What were you doing in there ?" her mother angrily asked.
"I was taking a bath and I think I fell asleep" Juliette said looking at her feet to add "Sorry".
"How dare you be sorry ! We're leaving in 20 minutes and your hair isn't done yet, it's still wet !" Her mother added her hands on her hips.
"I'll be fast, I'll be ready you'll see." Juliette said.
"I hope your nails are done… let me see" her mother said as she grabbed Juliette's hands to examine them.
Juliette knew she was in trouble. She was getting angry and at the same time she didn't really care what her mother was thinking. Her mother was looking at her undone nails and Juliette was thinking about what she'd come up with next.
"What are you doing Juliette ? What does it mean ? Your nails aren't even done ? Why do you do this to me ?" she complained.
Oh yea right it's my fault again, as always, Juliette thought. She then gave her mom a stern look maybe for the first time of her life. Her mother noticed and didn't appreciate it at all.
"Don't you dare looking at me that way ! What kind of daughter are you ? Go back in there and hurry up ! I won't accept any apologies from you ! If you're not ready when it's time to leave I…" her mother said searching for what to say next.
Juliette just starred at her blankly waiting for the punishment her dear mother was about to find. It wasn't like her to just stop and need to think about what to say next. She was always the first one when it came to be mean toward others. Her mother could read Juliette's mind saying "You'd what ?"
"If you're not ready in 20 minutes you'll never go back to Horizon, you hear me ? You'll stay here… with your family ! Those people do you nothing good ! You've changed Juliette… and not in a good way !"
Yea of course I'm a bit less fragile now and it's harder for you to manipulate me and treat me like your little doll you can use and manipulate 24/7 ! Juliette thought angrily.
"You can't do that, mother, they have to keep me there until I turn 18 and graduate !"
"You want to bet ? I am your mother, I have all the rights possible to do anything I want when it comes to you !" her mother shouted back. "Enough talking… now get ready and you better hurry otherwise you won't go back to that stupid school with those people who put all those weird ideas in your head !"
Her mother left the room shutting the door violently. Juliette felt so much anger because of her mother's behavior that she just wanted to disappear ! She couldn't stay here for another day, another hour… She took some teddy bears she had on her bed and violently threw them on the ground. Then she looked at herself in the mirror and wanted to throw her fist at it ! She hated what she saw even more. She rushed to the bathroom again and shut the door. She took her razorblade again and burst into tears. She rolled up her sleeves and was ready to cut again. She took a few deep breaths and had those images of Auggie again. Between her sobs she saw him. Not only in her head but she felt like he was with her right now. She could feel his presence and see his face telling her not to do that. Telling her that he loved her and didn't want her hurting herself. She dropped the blade and cried harder, head hidden in her hands. She saw Auggie smile and take her in his arms. What do I do now ? she wondered. I don't want to stay her…, I can't ! What if she never lets me go back to Horizon ? She came back in her room, sat on her bed, and did some serious thinking glancing everywhere around her as if to find a solution. She tried to calm down to think better. She needed to get out of here, she needed a solution. Whatever it was she had to act quick. In 10 minutes her mother would be knocking on her door again to tell her it was time to leave. Just thinking about that, the restaurant thing and her mother being mean to her as usual, made her swallow hard. After a few minutes she finally had an idea…
THANKS FOR READING, PLEASE REVIEW AND I'LL WRITE MORE VERY SOON !
