Brave - FanFic CHIM/CHERYL COLE

Part 94

Kim's POV

"Cheryl.. what happened earlier?" I said taking her hand and leading her to the kitchen to clean up the mess on her knuckles

"I-I had to do it Kimba" she cried grabbing my shirt afraid I would leave her

"Baby, you shouldn't have done that. I understand you were upset, but I don't like the thought of you physically hurting someone" I said whilst dabbing her cuts

"She deserved it.. D-do you think Julie is upset with us?" she asked tearfully

"Maybe you should go up and talk to her" I suggested bandaging up her hands

"Come with us?" she gulped

"Come on" I said, but stopping her by the stairs giving her a lingering kiss followed by pecks on the lips

"I love tough Chezza, but don't be tough on Julie" I said kissing her once more and a few kisses on her forehead and cheek

"I won't, promise." She reassured me as we headed up to Julie's bedroom

Julie's POV

"Bubba, can we come in?" I heard Mam by the door

"You're already in" I said dryly sitting up in bed. She slowly came over to me sitting on the edge of the bed, she looked so afraid as if I would go off on her, shout and scream.

"You can come closer you know" I said getting a faint smile from her and as she slid up next to me resting her back on the headboard, Mum doing the same

"I know you're upset with us-" I cut her off

"No Mam I'm not upset with you.. I just don't want you being just as worse as her" I said wincing at the memory

"Do you want to talk about it?" Mum asked gently putting a piece of hair behind my ear

"It's happened more than once, but the worst of it.. Was well, you saw it" I said getting sad looks from my parents

"The first time she just kind of twisted my cheek roughly throwing me onto the sofa" I said looking at my fingers that were resting in my lap

"That wasn't because you fell?" Mam whispered tears filling up her eyes. I shook my head no as she slowly pulled me into her arms

"She didn't like the thought of me being around her family and getting attention from Jason" I sniffed

"You're going no where near them" Mam said, I could practically hear her heart rate increase

"Do you mind if we have look? just incase it's bad we need to take you to a hospital" Mum said stroking my hair

I nodded my head letting Mam lift my shirt over my head slowly.

"Oh angel" Mum said with teary eyes as she scanned my torso

"Does it hurt?" She sniffed bringing her shaky hand to touch my sensitive skin

"I don't think my ribs are broken, it only hurts when I over work myself.. like if I run or twist my body to quickly" I said trying to reassure her

"Please don't cry" I said past the lump in my throat that had unexpectedly formed whilst whipping her tears away

"Sweetheart, we're both sorry you couldn't come to us from the beginning" She said blaming herself

"Mum, its no ones fault.. I guess I just-" I said not wanting to sound like a coward

"Just what Bubba?" Mam said slipping her arms around my waist messaging her fingers into my damaged body

"I feel like I'm the same girl I once was, the one you first met.. It's brought back so many horrible memories, and I guess maybe that's how I was able to deal with it and not tell you guys. That's my way of dealing with it" I shrugged voicing my concern for the first time

"Look at me" Mam said taking my chin between her fingers making me meet her eyes

"You're far from the girl I first met, you have blossomed into the most beautiful person I have come to know. You're stronger than you think and it's about time you know that-" She tapped on my heart whilst saying

"You have a heart of gold, and you need to stop closing off into a shell whenever something goes wrong, the world isn't a perfect place. There are cruel and mean people all around us, but that shouldn't change who you are. I want you to start standing up for yourself; I don't want you to shut up to anyone anymore! You need to toughen up and show 'em whose boss" She said giving me encouraging words

"I don't know if I can be any of those things" I said truthfully

"You can and you will, Jules you're tougher than you lead yourself to believe" Mum said

"You think I was ever like this? It's all your mam's doing for making me into such a strong and independent woman, true story" She smiled at Mam

"I can't be mean to people" I shrugged

"I'm not telling you to be mean, but I don't want you having people stepping all over you. Stand your ground and stand up for yourself, people prey on the weak! Us Tweedy's and Walsh's aren't weak! And you my love are a Tweedy-Walsh, so you have no excuse" Mam said kissing my temple

"Yeah, I guess you're right" I said agreeing with every word she had said

"I know I'm right" Mam said smugly

Julie's POV

"Okay baby, I don't want you to freak out," I told Libby as I let her into my bedroom

"What's up?" She said looking concerned already, I took her hand and lead her over to my bed sitting her down. I stood between her legs, slowly lifting my shirt getting a gasp

"Who's done this to you?" She said fuming with anger

"Lib, I just wanted to show you.. I don't want to talk about it" I said honestly, lowering my shirt and sitting beside her

"You can't show me something like that and expect me to not want an explanation!!?" She snapped whilst standing up

"Olivia! Just stop it okay! I said I don't want to talk about it" I snapped back

"I'm going home" She said bluntly leaving my room

"LEAVE! JUST FCKING LEAVE!" I shouted collapsing onto my bed screaming into my pillow, everything I do seems to go wrong. I just wanted her to see what had happened to me, no explanation needed. I didn't want to constantly be telling everyone getting that same sympathetic look, the same 'I feel sorry for you' look. I'm sick of everyone, I'm sick of this stupid life that everyone seems to be living except for me. Its time for a change; It's time for a new Julie Tweedy-Walsh, No more pathetic orphan girl. No more stupid-silly-rapped-insecure girl. Julie Tweedy-Walsh is a confident girl who doesn't take sh*t from no one. It's time for a change.
