Untouchable - maya and carina

chapter 5 - dad

T/W = homophobia

Carinas POV

I could tell something was wrong with Maya, but I couldn't exactly tell what. She rushed downstairs and I quickly followed after her to make sure nothing happened. I stopped at the bottom of the stairs not wanting to intrude and watched Maya talk to her dad from a distance.

Maya was standing with her back to me, so I assumed she didn't know I was there, and her dad seemed too occupied to notice me

Mayas POV

I was standing with my dad from a distance preparing for whatever crap he was going to say to me knowing that nobody was around to see him but if I really needed them, they could hear me.

"so, you're ignoring me now huh?" he said with an angry look on his face

"I'm sorry I didn't get your messages, what are you doing here?"

"your mum left. She ran off. I'm guessing you had something to do with it, you've been trying to brainwash her with your nonsense forever" he sneered

"What nonsense, it's the truth, she just never realized it"

"whatever. Where have you been anyway huh? Probably with some random fagot like always" he said while rolling his eyes at me

"why would you care where I am! You are the one that kicked me out! You dint like the fact I was kissing a girl, so you kicked me out" I yelled quietly trying to not let anyone hear me

"so, you haven't grown out of it yet huh?" he laughed

"I'm gay dad, I'm not going to grow out of it!" I yelled

"DON'T YOU DARE RAISE YOUR VOICE AT ME" he yelled while grabbing my arm

"I will be back, and I expect you to have matured enough to realize that what you're doing is wrong!" he yelled as he threw me across the room by my arm and stormed out.

Carinas POV

As soon as I saw Maya get up and run into her office I quickly followed after her but not wanting to scare her knowing she will probably be jumpy after what happened

"Maya, are you ok," I asked seeing her sitting with her head in her hands

"How much did you hear?" she asked somewhat angrily

"I'm sorry, I thought it would make it worse if I had come down and he had seen me," I said franticly wanting her to know I wasn't trying to listen in.

She didn't say anything, so I went and knelt in front of her chair. I noticed that her leg was bouncing, and she was now scratching at her wrists.

If it was anybody else, I would grab their hands to stop them or hug them, but I knew with Maya this wouldn't help.

"Maya, can I hold your hands?" I asked

She looked up at me as if she was trying to work something out in her head. She slowly nodded and watched me move my hands to hers. She let out a shaky breath as my hands met hers

"it's ok Bella, he's gone, it's just me," I said as she started to cry

I noticed her looking at the part of her arm he grabbed, it now has a red mark covering it.

"Can I touch your arm?" I asked, expecting her to say no but to my surprise, she slowly nodded her head

I carefully took my hand off of hers and slowly placed it on her arm. I saw her flinch as I did so, which I expected considering five minutes ago her dad just grabbed her and threw her against the wall.
