Chin Up Love
Dealing With It All
The next thing I had to do I knew I had to do it alone I couldn’t use Oli as protection. Not for this one. This one entailed a very mad Mr. and Mrs. Carter.
I got home cautiously opening the door I made it to the kitchen before I saw my mother standing there with her arms crossed over her chest she was wearing a light pink skirt that fell just below the knee and a pearl white cami top. And boy did she look pissed.
“Marcus she’s home” my mother yelled to my farther and he came into the room almost immediately
“So young lady what do you have to say for yourself” she started at me
“Mum you know I try to do my best I have good grades and I help out a lot around here for as long as I can remember I have done everything you have told me…but now I want out. I want to find myself and actually be friends with people who respect me im sick of hiding” I finished
“Lacey you are not making sense in the slightest. Hiding you are a social butterfly parties every weekend, Bret?” she questioned
“No mum” I gave out a small laugh that I think made her quite mad “The real me has been hiding away for so long I want to listen to my own music and dress how I want…be friends with who I want, go to concerts and go camping” I threw the last one in to see if it would tip her off
“Camping who the fuck do you think you are…Lacey you are a Carter and this is not acceptable” I wanted to laugh
“But I am not you mum… I am me and I am going to act the way I please and you shouldn’t have anything to complain about its not like I have ever been in serious trouble my grades are good and my friends won’t bother you” I replied walking up the stairs
“Your friends won’t bother me I found your friend in your bed this morning” she yelled giving a shrieking laugh “If I ever see that low life trash around here again you will leave with him” she replied I knew she would never kick me out but it hurt none the less
“Oli is not trash and most definitely not a low life, he is probably one of the best things that has happened to me and mum he actually cares about me unlike Bret!” I spat his name
“I don’t want to hear it Lacey go to your room” she snapped back
“Im not 5 any more mum” I snapped in return but went to my room anyway
I laid on my bed for ages with my ipod head phones in my ears listening to ‘Aiden’ I wanted to scream along with the song but I just sung in my head instead.
So this was it I thought I had done it I had changed for the better I suppose gotten through my day of humiliation even though I figured tomorrow would be just as bad, and I had stood up to my mother.
Even though I knew the worst was over I was still afraid what was I going to do now what if Oli’s friends decided they didn’t like me or if Oli woke up to himself and worked out I wasn’t worth his time. But my thoughts were interrupted my phone going off signaling I had a text message rolling off the side of my bed to go retrieve it off my bed side table it read
Hey love,
Are you okay?
Do you want me to be prince charming again?
Or is best I just stay home?
Oli
He seemed to make everything better but if my parents caught him tonight then we were both dead.
Im okay Oli
Had a massive fight with my mum though
Just stay home and get some sleep its too cold to go out and climb trees anyway
I will see you tomorrow
Lacey
My phone vibrated again and I sighed wanting to see him right away
Okay you should get some sleep too love
Im proud of you, you know.
Good night
Xxx
Hhhmmm
Thank you
Goodnight Oli

And that was it that was all I would hear from Oli that night but all I wanted to do was have him by my side so I slept with my phone under my pillow.
