Broken Strings-Leondre Devries

Tables are Turning

Morning

Sonia's POV
I wake up to Charlie snoring on the right hand side of me, snuggling up to a pillow next to him, our legs somehow managed to get tangled and my arm is draped around his body. He digs his head closer towards the pillow and I slowly untangle our legs, he stirs but gets back into his slumber. I notice that my dance clothes are on the floor and I'm wearing a black kingdom knotting jumper, and some shorts, my undergarments still on, luckily. I curse, "Why, Sonia? Why? Why do you have to ruin everything because you're messed up; why do you let people into your life, they don't even care. Stop causing drama, stop asking for attention stop-" I cry silently, knowing things won't change. I look over to my shoulder and see Charlie still sleeping peacefully, I grab my clothes and go into the living room. Leo is sat up on his phone, I turn around, "Where you going bitch?" Leo's morning voice says to me. "Somewhere away from you." I reply quite sternly. "Well that's a bit rude, why are you here, anyway?" He asks, which makes me wonder, Why am I here? "I don't know." I whisper and continue to walk into the kitchen, the smell of pancakes surround the atmosphere, "Morning Sonia, I didn't expect to see you here, it's so wonderful you're here." a sudden voice, from Karen jumps from behind, she engulfs me into a hug, "well Karen, I wasn't expecting to be here myself but here I am." I chuckle in reply, she rubs my shoulder and hands me some pancakes, "A great way to start you day, darling." I smile in return and sit on the breakfast table, munching away the pancakes filled with lemon and honey, "Looks nice." A comment from a sleepy Charlie. He rests his hands on my shoulder, "So what you doing today, mum?" He steals a piece of pancake, "Bruh! You have a mouth for a reason, you know!" I yell in a joking way, he shrugs his shoulder and replies, "I know, for eating, you know!" He mocks the last bit and we all chuckle. "I miss this," Karen states, "I miss this all, you being so close to each other and having fun." Her eyes begin to tear, "Me too, I just wish things weren't as complicated as this, you get?" I say to Karen. Charlie crouches more on my shoulder and rests his chin on my head, "Charlie, I've got to go home soon, you know." I say, he wakes up and runs upstairs, he comes back down, "Get ready then." He replies to my statement from almost 20 minutes ago, I shake my head and go upstairs. I hear some muffling and I presume that it's Tilly or Brooke. I walk towards the bathroom and the noises are louder, someone walks out the bathroom, Leo. He gives me a nasty look and I just walk past him. He grabs my arm and pushes me into the bathroom and he enters too, locking the door. "You knew I was coming, so you made Lucy and her team look like they're beating you up, when you're the one doing it first. She's the innocent one. If anything you're the bitch and I'm gonna make sure Charlie knows this too." He growls in my ear, he punches me in the stomach and kicks my leg. "What's happened to you? We haven't seen each other for a year, and when we do things just get crazy, we've kissed and you've turned away from me. You tell me I'm a bitch? Why don't you look at yourself in the mirror." I whisper and shout at the same time, as a reply, he rolls his eyes and walks out of the bathroom.

Leaving the house

Charlie's POV
Sonia and I are in the car going back to her house, the roads are quiet since it's Sunday. She's sitting by the window, staring at the sky, no emotion on her face. "Sonny?" I ask hoping she'll reply, she doesn't and just keeps staring out. I pullover and stop the car. "Sonia?" She looks over and tears start to embrace around her eyes, I don't even bother asking, I just give her a hug. I can still sense the worry inside of her, I feel like something is wrong with her and Leo, he hasn't been himself for a while now, I'm guessing that's why Sonia's so sad. "I'm sorry," she whispers. I hug her tighter. We reach her house, "I can take it from here, Charlie. Thank you so much for helping me and being there. You're one of my best friends, someone who I can count on. Thank you." She says and she walks into her house. I smile to myself, even though we're 3 years apart, I can still proudly say that she's my best friend. I drive back home, and find Leondre stood at the doorstep, pissed. "I have to talk to you." He states, "It's about Sonia."

After the conversation

I storm out of the house, angered and confused as to why Sonia would do such a thing, I thought she was nice. I've known her all my life pretty much, I park outside her house and March to her door, "Oh he-" I cut her off, "Save it, we're no longer gonna be friends, you're such a liar, I cannot believe you'd do such a thing and then pretend that you're the innocent one! Sonia, don't ever speak to me again." I shout and storm back into my car.
