Back at home I sat on the edge of the kitchen board, my legs dangling over the side, all scratched and bruised from falling down in the woods. James came over with a damp towel to wash away the blood
�Jeez, how rough was that guy?� asked James, looking at my cut legs �you�re damaged all over� I shut my eyes, stopping the tears from running down my cheeks �He didn�t do anything� I said in a calm but choked tone �I told you already�..I fell� James rolled his eyes as he patted my legs with the towel �Why are you protecting him for, what did he say to you to make you so scared of admitting the truth?� �JAMES!� I yelled, fed up of him asking me all these questions �he didn�t do anything, I found him in the woods when I fell down, cutting my legs, he was badly beaten up so I looked after him� �Oh and he just fell on top of you did he� replied James, in a sarcastic tone I couldn�t take anymore of this. I turned to face the window; it was thrashing itself out there, what could Matt be doing I thought? Scared of what was going on outside. Suddenly the front door slammed open and shut as my soaked-through brother came into the kitchen, bringing a whole river of water with him. |
