His Broken girl

chapter 10

Terry

Shit. I was halfway home when I realised what I said to her. i***t! Way to give it away who you are T! And I love you? what was that? Such an i***t!

I arrived home pushing down my idiocy to deal with whatever was about to unfold. Mum and Dad had finally returned home from a buisness trip in Italy. They were sitting on the pristine white couch with a tea in hand. I sat down across from them on the matching white couch. "Mother, Father" I addressed them. knowing something big was about to go down, otherwise they wouldn't have bothered calling me. They usually leave me a note.

"What's going on?" We had been sitting in silence for about five minutes. I hated when they did this. " You're Mother and I have been thinking, We know you are close to graduating highschool but we have decided to..." Mum cut him off "We are selling the mansion and moving to Italy" She said. I felt my jaw hit the floor. "What are you saying? We have a life here, I have school, I don't want to start fresh, I have gi...I have friends here Mum." I didn't even realise I was standing. My chest felt tight, I can't move, No, No there must be another wa....wait a minute. " Wait, Don't sell it, Maybe sign it over to me? I'm eighteen! I can..." Mum held up her hand and I instantly shut my mouth and sat back down. I let out a heavy sigh, waiting for her next words. "I understand all that, but our business has taken us over there, and well, you know how it is. This place will be no good to us just sitting here, Empty. and you are coming with us."

I held my head in my hands. being the only child, I have to carry on the family buisness, which means, moving with them.

With a last ditch effort I asked. "What if I bought my own home? Could I stay here and carry on our work here?" Mum now let out a heavy sigh. You're Father and I will talk about it." She is soft but firm with difficult situations. Dad is built like a brick house, all muscle, Tattoos covering his arms and legs, but is the biggest, softy I have ever met.

I nodded at them both and headed to my room. I had homework to do.

I started researching houses around the area, in hopes I could at least give Jules somewhere safe to live. Her mother is still in hospital and her pathetic excuse of a step dad,was due to be released from prison in a month's time. Not good enough if you ask me.Fuck,the system is flawed. I find a cute wooden cottage surrounded by her favourite flowers, Black Baccaras and black magic. she loves all kinds of roses but these were her ultimate favourites. Its on a 1.4 acre block, and is definitely everything she has ever dreamed of(like i said,I had homework to do).With that, I call the agent and set up a time and day to view this cottage.

It.Was.Stunning. I instantly saw us living here,old and grey, cups of coffee in hand, breathing in the fresh air. It was like walking straight into a fairytale, not the wicked witches house.No. More like an enchanted forest. there is even a tyre on a rope, above a stream. Its perfect! with that I bought the place. When I got back home,I started shopping for furniture for the place. I will leave everything else upto her. A perfect place, for THE perfect girl. right across the road there was a house with land I had also purchased for her mum and siblings.

Monday rolled around and I was feeling like I was on the moon, knowing my girl and her family will be safe from that monster made me feel better about my situation with my parents moving. They had come to a decision, and want to talk to me at dinner tonight about it.

I saw Jules talking to her best friend Mikey. That girl TERRIFIES me, especially when mad. I Avoid them, remembering my i***t moment and hoping she doesn't figure out who I am.

History class is the best class of the day. Why? She is in my class. I sit behined her, wishing she was on my lap instead. I glance over at my best friend Adrian, was he...was he ogling Mikey? I didn't disturb him, but I will tease him over it later. So much for, " Eww she is the most ugliest thing I have ever seen". In all honesty She was no where near ugly,But I had eyes for her bestie. Adrian then snapped out of his trans,picked up a peice of paper wrote something on it, scrunched it up and threw it at her. I shook my head and chuckled under my breath. My dude did not know how to interact with her. Mikey picked up the paper and glared at me.I covered my mouth with one hand, and pointed over to Adrian with my other hand. My face was going red and tears were starting to stream down my cheeks as I done my damndest not to laugh. She shot him an evil glare, He instructed her to read it doing hand motions. She read it,rolled her eyes,wrote something down and piffed it at his head so hard the teacher looked up from his desk. " everything alright back there. I gave a thumbs up still stiffling my laughter. Teach went back to whatever he was doing. Adrian opened the paper up to see what she had written. I glance over.

Adrian: Oi beautiful wanna go on a date with me?

Mikeys response:

Its not you, Its me, oh wait it is you.No never going to happen.

I was gone. I could no longer contain it,everyone turned and looked at me, and I got kicked out of class.

Dinner came around and I became nervous.Dad sat Quiet,Mum spoke.

"so as you know we have spoken about the situation, we are still moving and selling the house, but you can stay here until you find a place to rent or buy.once you have situated yourself, We will put this place on the market." Mum said. I let out a breath of relief. I got up and gave my mother a hug.she stiffened at first and then melted into it. I haven't hugged her since I was ten. when I pulled away she added "Oh I forgot. If you aren't married by the time you are 20, we will be bringing you to Italy with us" I laughed. More out of shock then anything. "Mum, I already found someone, but, she needs some time to...oof" I didn't get to finish that sentence before Mum pulled me in for another hug, This one took away my air supply. Dad Just sat there, eating his dinner and drinking his red wine. " You must bring her around so we can meet her." She let go of me and I greedily sucked in the air. "Mum, she..." No excuses she scolded me. "We are moving in two weeks, We better meet her before that." Dad nodded, agreeing with Mum. I sigh "ok fine, just, don't do anything embarrassing " both of them laughed "If we stopped being embarrassing, you would be worried and think we don't care about you" Mum said. she had a point.

After dinner, I got on my motorbike and went to see Jules.
