=3 Sorry for leaving you on that cliff-hanger. I have school TOMORROW! OHMAI! I'm so...Sad. Bye Bye Summer, and my free time. =( I'll try to post once a week!
Matthew's POV in this one ;)
҉Chapter 16҉ O:
"Oh my god," I whispered, my eyes wide. "Ella," I looked at her for a split second, "Stay up here." I slowly lumbered down the stairs, scared. They could be holding people hostage or what-not! I finally, with no harm, made it down the stairs. Crawling in the kitchen, I saw Matthew, my mom, a random older-dude, Katelyn, and...Him.
I gave him a hard look, and he smirked.
"Nice seeing you here, Azura."
"No, pleasure's all mine," I said, my voice dripping with sarcasm. Matthew looked up at me, and our eyes locked. He shook his head. Wait...He doesn't know who this is! Dang. I'm screwed.
"Now, Azura," My mother said, her voice icy, "You have met Matthew's father, Mr. Brown," (I don't remember what their last name was, so now it's Brown. :P)
"No, Mother, I haven't," my voice had now taken on a monotone, making my Mother cringe.
"Well, nice to meet you," the older man said, trying to change the subject. I could see him stare in disgust at my skinny jeans, band tee, and red, tear streaked face.
"Uh..." Matthew began, but I gave him a say-something-and-I'll-kill-you glare.
"I really must be going," I snapped.
"Oooh, no," my mother snarled, "We are getting this resolved. Now." Mr. Brown looked at me with a question mark on his face, I just shook my head.
"That's what you don't get, Mother, I can give a crap less."
"AZURA CARTER!"
"Yes?"
"Do not speak to me in that tone!" I rolled my eyes,
"Ohmygosh! I'm sooooo sorry," I said in an overly-high pitched, snobby voice. I could see Matthew trying to restrain laughter.
"Azura..." she warned me with her cold eyes, I just shook my head again.
"Ok. This is resolved." I turned my on my heel, but I felt someone grab my shoulders and yank me back. I felt a hard chest, but not as hard as Matthew's, or even Char's. I turned, coming face-to-face with HIM. I yanked out of his disgusting grasp, spitting in his face. Everyone gasped. Ooohh, like a movie!
"I thought I told you NEVER even see me EVER again! NEVER even TOUCH me you DIRTY arse!"
Matthew stood up, grabbing me, shoving me backwards into his chest.
"SHH!" He whispered urgently to me. I ignored him, while bringing my arm back and slapping them both. My mother shrieked like a banshee.
Matthew's POV! ;)
What has gotten into her? Does...Does she know him? If so, she must REALLY hate him. I've never, ever seen Azura resort to violence, wait I have, but not spitting in someone's face! That's just...Low. The guy seemed familiar, but I couldn't place his face anywhere. Eh, whatever. I could see Katelyn's face in complete fake horror, because she winked at me!
Whatever. I kind of liked yanking Azura away, she fell into me. It was as if we fit. That sounds so cheesy, though. When she slapped me, it hurt like a fudger. She hits hard.
Also, she disrespects her mother...A lot. I couldn't believe how much sarcasm she can place in one word. But, not my problem. I winked back at Katelyn, who giggled like she was on crack. Ick.
