It’s as if the world is in slow motion, I look up and see Jacinta, Dean and Saxon around me talking. I can’t hear what they are saying and I can’t feel their touch. I have collapsed on the floor, I dropped my phone and it flew across Dean’s bedroom floor. I can’t believe Charlie hit my mother. How many times has this happened? Has she kept it a secret for years? I am not any help sitting here on Dean’s bedroom floor. I jolt up and suddenly I can hear everything again and feel again. My three friends surround me.
“Tyler is everything all right?” Dean panics.
“What’s happened?” Jacinta says.
“Charlie hit my mother,” I say.
They all take a step back shocked, I think they know that Charlie is a shit person but I don’t think they expected him to ever physically hurt someone. I feel it’s time I tell them about Charlie punching me in the back a few weeks back. What do I have to hold back and keep secrets about Charlie for anymore? He has hurt everyone around him one way or another. I would feel safer letting them know if anything ever did happen.
“I am so sorry Tyler” Saxon says.
“That’s not all he’s punched me before” I say, “Sometimes he would make me feel as if he wanted to kill me”
“Did you tell anyone?” Dean asks.
“I couldn’t tell anyone he threatened me multiple times” I say, “What’s the point of keeping secrets anymore”
I need to get home to see what has happened and hopefully beat the living shit out of Charlie, he might be bigger and stronger then me but if given the chance I would give my all to give him back what he has done to my family our whole life.
“Are you going to call the police?” Jacinta asks.
“I want to just check out everything at home first before I call them” I say.
“Well I am coming with you” Dean says.
“Me too” Jacinta says.
“And me” Saxon says.
“You guys are the best but I am sure everything will be fine” I say.
I don’t want them to get involved because if shit is actually going down at my house I would never forgive myself if something bad happened to any of them.
“Let us at least come and sit in the car just incase something bad happens” Jacinta says.
“Only if the house is on fire or something,” I laugh.
“Deal” Jacinta says.
“Let’s go, one of you have to drive because my cars at home,” I say.
We all race through Dean’s house waving at his parents as we are running out.
“I hope they don’t think we are rude,” I say.
“I will explain later this is more important” Dean says.
We jump in Jacinta’s car; I hop in the front passenger side and buckle my seatbelt so fast that I nip the edge of my finger in the buckle. Saxon leans over from the backseat and hands me my phone.
