Smashed
I walk into the kitchen to see pictures posted all over the walls, Images of me when I was around 6 with a pair of pants on my head, I had no idea where this photo had come from or why it was now posted around the kitchen but all the residents were taking great delight in looking at It.
I ripped the copies from the wall and screwed them up but that was the least of my worries, as I moved around the house I found even more images, Pictures of me looking goofy that friends had taken were spread in the hallways. My school photo aged 7 after I cut my own very wonky fringe in the front entrance.
I worked my way through the house ripping picture after picture off the wall and scrunching them up. I made my way into the living room to find picture of me aged 3 in the bath, that was when I lost it. Rage taking over my whole body I picked up the pool cue and chucked it which hit the window, when that bounced back I picked up a chair and threw that at it instead which shattered the whole window.
As I heard the sound of running feet coming towards me a wave of guilt hit me, I placed the chair back and picked the pool cue up placing it back on the table and then ran for my life out of the shattered window and round to the front of the house.
I could hear the discussion between mike and Tracy along with a few of the children.
"Whoever it was wasn't stupid enough to stick around." I hear Johnny pipe up.
"It could have been an accident." Tracy argues.
"When has anything broken in this house ever been an accident." Mike groans.
"On ten occasions recently." Gus pipes up.
"1 when Lily smashed the plates and tripped over a toy. 2. Johnny threw the ball and Elektra didn't catch it so it hit Mike. 3. Tee turned and smashed the vase. 4. Harry dropped the glass. 5. Lily fell from the swing when tee pushed her too high. 5. When Sapphire fell into the Tv and smashed it.
"Accept we found out Elektra pushed Sapphire so that wasn't an accident." Johnny adds in.
"I haven't finished." Gus moan as he continues to list the other 5 times we had accidents in the house.
I take this as my opportunity to go round the side of the house and enter in through the front door, everyone was to busy in the living room to even hear me come in. I quickly and quietly made my way up to my room and sunk into my beanbag reading my book.
I hardly ever came out of my room so this was the perfect cover, it was a while before anyone came up to disturb me and even then it was only Mike.
"Lunch is ready if you want to come down." Mike tells me.
I get up from where I am sat and make my way down to the kitchen where everyone was already arguing. From what I can gather most people have been questioned about the window, well that was everyone except me and they were not happy about it.
"I bet no one questioned her did they?" Johnny questioned clearly noticing that I was not moaning like the rest of them.
"There are a few people that I have not got round to asking yet, Thank you Johnny." Mike tells him.
"But I bet you haven't though have you. Just cause her brother dumped her doesn't make her innocent, maybe that's why he left cause she's evil." Johnny mocks me.
"Don't you dare talk about my brother about that." I say sternly across the table at him.
"Well no wonder Jack doesn't want you if your some sort or psycho who smashes windows." Elektra taunts.
I hit my fist down missing the table and hitting my empty plate.
"Shut up! None of you know anything." I shout.
All eyes are now on me but they don't look angry or sympathetic, they look scared.
"Teagen, lets look at that hand." Mike says softly.
Only then is it that I look down and realise in my anger I have managed to smash the plate with my fist and there is blood trickling down my hand.
"I'm fine." I say on the verge of tears, I cup my wounded hand in the other and run upstairs to my room. It's not long before I hear a set of footsteps coming up the stairs.
"Let me take a look at your hand." Mike says first aid box in hand.
I hold out my hand towards him and he cleans it up putting a plaster over the cut which was starting to sting now that the adrenaline had left my body.
"I'm sorry about the plate, I didn't mean for that to happen." I tell him.
"It's ok, Teagen I need to ask you did you smash the window this morning?" He asks.
"No!" I say defensively.
I couldn't tell him the truth, I was scared of what he would say and like Elektra said Jack definitely won't want me if he knew I'd smashed the window and that's got to be something that would go on my record.
"Ok, you know I had to ask." Mike replies.
