Chapter Five
My shower ended up being a hell of a lot longer than I planned. Mainly because I was enjoying the feel of the hot water relaxing my muscles but then when my brain started to over think.. The water hid my tears.
I cried and cried and cried until I just couldn't cry any more and when that happened, I washed off my face, grabbed a towel, wrapped it around myself and got out. I looked at myself in the mirror for what felt like forever.
I didn't like how I look, but Grandma would constantly tell me to accept who I was. That there was nothing wrong with me. I was beautiful how I was.
I walked closer to the sink and really examined myself in the mirror.
She always said my eyes were my best feature, that they were dark and beautiful, innocent. I remember thinking from that day onwards, I did like how my eyes were, but every thing else? No. I hated it. I hated it all.
Shaking my head, I started drying myself off. I stared at my feet and worked my way up and once my body was done, I dumped the towel in the hamper and grabbed another one, putting it over my head and started towel drying my hair, I heard a noise and looked up quickily, but no one was there.
Strange, i thought I closed my bath room door. Shrugging, I closed it quickily and carried on getting ready.
Chad's Point of view
I found Ava but the second she saw me she instantly started questioning me. Where had I been? What had I been doing? And most annoyingly; Had I done any thing with her sister?
Her whole super jealous attitude was starting to wear thin a little bit. This has been going on for a few days now. I hang out with my female friends, I get accused of cheating, I hang with my male friends I get accused of lying. I wasn't sure how much longer I could put up with it.
'Have you been drinking?' I asked her flatly, not wanting to participate in what ever mind games she had cooked up in her head while I was gone.
'T-That's none of your b-business'. She was slurring her words, she was completely shut faced. Great. f*****g perfect.
'What ever Ava'. I went to talk away from her when she grabbed my arm, a bit to harshly and dug her perfectly manicured nails in. It hurt a bit, but I didn't let it show on my face. 'What the hell do you think you're doing?!' I asked in a low, warning tone.
'The question is what do YOU think YOU'RE doing?!' she snapped. I pulled her hand off me and pushed it away.
'I told you last time, never put your hands on me'. She's been a lot more physical than this, but she's only like it when she's drunk.. Or angry.. Or convinced herself for the millionth time that I was cheating on her.
It's funny, she's not crystal clean, I know she had some secrets from me, but I loved her. I've never cheated on her. Sure, I've had offers and sure, I think her sisters cute, but nothing had ever happened. Ever.
She didn't respond to my comment, instead, all she did was tell me that she was going for another drink and then vanished in to the crowd. She could barely walk. I went to go after her but I stopped myself, she would most likely just make a scene any way, and this wasn't the time or place.
I looked around the room, but couldn't see any one I knew. Where was Matilda? I knew how upset she was today, so I hope she was alright.
When I still hadn't seen her some time later, I decided to go and look for her. Maybe she was in her room. I vaguely remember where it was from my last visit. Even though we never stayed here, Ava had given me a big tour of the house.
I headed up stairs and down the hall way. Her bed room door was closed, So I knocked and waited, but there was no answer. I knocked again, still nothing. I was going to walk away, I knew she had to be in there, but if she didn't want to talk, I wasnt going to force her, but.. I don't know, I just had a feeling.. I couldn't explain it.
Before I knew what I was doing, I opened her bed room door and went inside...
..The room was empty.
Maybe she really wasn't here. I went to leave again when some thing caught my eye.. Looking a little closer, I realised,, It was Matilda, completely naked and bare..
..fuck...
Looking away quickily, I mentally slapped myself for coming in to her room with out permission and hurried back out, closing the door behind myself. I went back down stairs and went to find Ava.
Matilda's point of view
I just towel dried my hair and put it in to a pony tail before heading back down stairs. As predicted, no one had even noticed I was gone. Good. Saved an argument. I went and grabbed some good and then went to find my mum. She was busy with family, so I went to see if I could find Ava and Chad.
I heard her before I saw them, She was shouting about something or other. I couldn't believe this! At grandma's funeral?!
I stormed over to her and grabbed her by the arm, pulling her away from Chad. She screamed at me to let go so I did.
'What the f**k Ava!' I whispered not wanting to disrupt the wake any more than she already had. It was so disrespectful!
'Oh, what do you want?' She snapped, I could smell the alcohol on her breath, it was so strong! Plus, she was slurring her words and she couldn't even stand straight!
'You are being such a disgrace! Pull yourself together, this is Grandma's wake for god sake Ava!' She just huffed and pushed me away before walking back over to the bar and pouring herself another drink. I walked over to Chad, but I could tell some thing was off with him too. That wasn't important right now though. 'You need to take her back to the hotel, she can't be here in this state'. I told him.
I could hear the people in the crowd whispering about her. Some were trying not to look, some were outright staring. It was embarrassing. I tried looking for mum, making sure she wasn't seeing this, she would be so angry if she saw Ava behaving like this!
'I've tried, she won't listen to me, she just keeps going on and on about random stuff'.
'Well-'
*SLAP*
I was instantly cut off by Ava's hand coming down hard and fast on my face, knocking me to the floor.. What the hell?! She just hit me!
