High School (Axl Heck)

Chapter 2: Suspicious

Charlie's P.O.V

I woke up and my stomach was aching like mad, my parents were getting into their old habit. So I better watch what I do at school now or else I am pretty much dead. I got ready for school and set off early so my parents wouldn't be awake. I set off for school in a nice, cosy short sleeved top. As I walked into school, everybody was staring at me. Oh, I forgot about my eye and lip. I will just say it was an accident at home. As I was walking to my locker, that I found out about yesterday, Axl dragged me around a corner into a cleaning closet.

"What happened to you?" He asked, examining my face.

"I fell down the stairs." I said, I hated lying but I had to do it.

"What about your arm? Why are there finger marks?" He questioned, I didn't know what to reply to that. I completely forgot about my arm because I was thinking about my stomach.

"It's nothing Axl." I said and tried walking away. He turned me around by my stomach and I winced in pain.

"What is wrong with your stomach?" Axl asked me. I put on a puzzles face.

"What do you mean?" I asked him. He seemed to notice that I was in pain when he touched my stomach.

"Lift up your top a little." Axl said, a little annoyed. I shook my head but he managed to lift it up just below my bra anyway.

"What happened?" He asked as he saw the massive purple and blue bruise. Should I just tell him the truth? What if he tells someone? Oh what the hell.

"Promise not to tell anyone." I said, Axl just nodded. I carried on anyway. "My- My parents did it." I said stuttering a little at the beginning. Axl looked angry.

"Why?" He asked a little more angered.

"My double detention." I mumbled. He shook his head in disgust against my parents, I would have joined in but I didn't.

"Look, Charlie, I am so sorry." He said. I looked a little puzzled or confused or I must of because he explained what he was doing.

"I have to tell my parents."
