Untouchable - maya and carina

chapter 11 - memories

Maya's POV

I was woken up at 3:00 to my phone buzzing, carina must have heard it too as she turned around to ask me who it was. I searched for my phone in the dark and switched it on and read all the messages I had.

Dad = hey kiddo, I'm going to swing by the station tomorrow to make sure you've grown out of this phase already.

Stephanie (sister) = Maya, dads drunk again, he ran out of the house saying he was looking for you, I don't know if he knows where you are but if he does, just be careful Maya

Mum = have you been getting the messages? He beat your sister up again and ran out of the house looking for you.

Dad = what number are you, 19?

Dad = I found your sister kissing a girl, following in your filthy footsteps I see

Dad = I beat her up just like I did you lol

"Maya, what's wrong?"

I was now sat upright on the bed with my breath stuck in my throat

"Maya, who texted you, what's wrong?"

The sounds started to go fuzzy, and I started seeing stars until everything went black

Carinas POV

"Omg, Maya?!"

I immediately picked up the phone to ring Amelia not knowing who else to call

"Amelia, I need help"

"Are you home?"

"Ye it's Maya," I said while trying not to cry

"Ok carina I'm on my way, 2 minutes"

I heard Amelia banging on the door and rushed over

"it's Maya- she got a text- she couldn't breathe- then- then she passed out- what do I do?"

"You need to breathe too; I can't help her if you pass out on me "

"You said she got a text?"

"Yes, her phone wouldn't stop buzzing"

"Check who it is"

"What?"

"Trust me, check who it is"

I went over to the phone and immediately realized why she passed out when I saw the messages that kept coming through.

"Oh my god, Amelia look at this!"

"Well, that explains why she passed out, she should come back around soon as it's just a panic attack but when she does, she'll be paranoid"

She starts to move a bit then opens her eyes and immediately starts hyperventilating again, realizing what was happening

"Carina? My dad- he's- he's going to the station- "

"I know Maya, we can stay here it's ok"

"No, I have to go down there"

"What? Why?" I say confused

"Because if he goes down there and sees Vic who's on reception right now, I don't want to find out what he will do when she says I'm not there"

"Maya, he won't do anything," Amelia says

"You don't know my dad. If there's anything worse than my dad when he's angry, it's my dad when he's drunk. He just beat my sister up carina, I'm not letting him beat Vic up too"
