Chapter 5~Dreaded Conversation

A/N

~Slight trigger warning! Mentions of physical and mental abuse!~

Charlie's POV

"OWEN OWEN COME QUICK" I yell barely having enough time to catch Olivia's head

"SHIT" Owen yells frantically running towards his unconscious twin.

"What do we do?!" my eyes begin tearing up. I can't lose her! She's my best friend.

Owen looks around quickly trying to find something we can wake her up with. "Get me a cup of water GO!" He finally says

I stumble to my feet running toward the sink to fill up a glass.

He takes it and pours it on her face. She slowly opens her eyes. Thank fucking god

Olivia's POV

I hear muffled frantic talking around me. It's almost like when you're sleeping but it's not a deep sleep. So, you can hear everything around you. Except it's like I'm under water or something.

The voices become more audible as I feel a cold splash on my face. I open my eyes slowly so I can get used to the sudden change of lighting.

"Thank god" Owen says relieved hugging me

Charlie just sits there looking shooken up.

"W-what h-happened?" I stutter

"You p-passed out" Charlie barely gets out

"I think you had an anxiety attack" Owen states

Then i remember what happened, "O-oh" Is all I can get out.

Charlie hands me a towel to dry off my face that's still slightly damp.

A few minutes pass and I finally collect myself enough to tell Charlie about Owen and I's parents.

I take a deep breath and begin "It all started when i was around 7. M-me and my dad were playing in the park. O-owen and our little brother, Oliver were still at school. I wasn't because I had a doctor's appointment f-for my asthma." I take another deep breath before continuing. "We w-were playing with the ball when it rolled into the street." my eyes begin to water. "I went chasing after it but I swear I didn't see the car coming" I sob. Owen rubs my arm softly, "He was yelling my name and pushed me out of the way, b-b-but he didn't move himself fast enough."

~Flashback~

I go chasing after the ball. I'm running as fast as my little legs can take me, I hear my dad yelling my name but I need to get the ball. Next thing I know I turn to see headlights, suddenly I'm on the ground. I turn to see my father, but it looks like he's sleeping. "DADDY!?" I yell running over to him "HELP" I scream as i shake him "SOMEBODY HELP ME-MY DADDY!!"

~end of flashback~

"H-he died t-that day. Saving me, its my fault, If i wasnt so stupid-" Charlie cuts me off "Hey hey stop, its not your fault and you definitely arent stupid" He hugs me.

"I need to tell you about mom before she gets here" He nods "After dad died, she blamed me. She started drinking. B-but only taking her anger out on me" Owen frowns

"No matter what i would do. Get straight A's, do extra chores, whatever. She still hated me. I would tell myself it would end soon. B-but it never did. At first she would just call me names and scream at me. But one day she-she um- she hit me. Then it just became a normal thing. Then it slowly progressed into more than just hitting me. I would go to school with bruises, cuts, and sometimes black eyes. I would tell people I fell. I was known as the school clutz. But in reality I was getting abused." I say

"Why didn't you tell anyone?" Charlie asks

"She threatened to hurt Owen and Ollie." I say looking down. I never told Owen that before

He looks at me with a saddened expression "I-I never knew that"

"Of course not, you would just tell me 'not to worry'. But that's all i did. Worry about You, Ollie, and me." I wipe away the loose tears that escaped

"But todays a happy day! WE ESCAPED OUR MOTHERS VAGINA 22 YEARS AGO!" I say trying to lighten the mood.

A few hours inch by so slowly waiting for my bitc-Mom to 'grace' us with her presence.

Then the doorbell rings......
