Complicated

Chapter 58

Maggie's POV:
Panting, I arrive in front of my house. I jogged the way here. I take deep breaths before, pressing the door handle down. As quiet as possible I open the slightly creaking door.

"Please let Aron not be at home." I pray, stepping into the dark room. Is my sister here? "Melly?"I call out. I hear nothing for a while, so I sneak upstairs, not wanting to risk meeting him. I walk into her cute, rather small room, revealing my little sister sleeping deeply.

I smile to myself. At least she's okey. "Maggie?" I hear saying groggily. She rubs her eyes with her small fists and sits up. "Hey sweetie." I whisper and walk over to Melly to pull her into a hug. "Where were you with Aron yesterday?" I ask worried. "Oh yesterday was so fun! He took me to the zoo and after that he called a babysitter to watch over me.

He said he has to go to a friend. However the babysitter was so sweet!" Melody explains happily. "But I missed you. Where were you?" she mumbles and hugs me again. "I was with Shawn. He's leaving for a while." I say quietly, feeling how the sleep takes slowly over her again.

„Nooo... why?" she whines, lying back down. "He can finally start his dream to be a singer." I whisper and kiss her cheek, noticing that she already fell asleep again. 

Aron took her zoo? Aron? Of course, he has to prove my mom that he can watch over us. He's such a liar. My mom thinks he's the perfect husband but in reality he's just a monster who is using her.

Tiredly I walk into my room, quickly changing into comfortable clothes. I plop onto the bed, lazily putting the blanket over me. My phone rings, signaling me that I have a new message. I reach over onto the nightstand to take my phone and immediately smiling as I see who texted me.

Shawn❤️: Hey princess! I'm going onto the plane now, so I have to shut my phone off. Love you and good night!
You: Goodnight Shawnie xx Have a save flight! Love you too.

Shawn is so sweet and caring. I never want to loose him. I wouldn't know what to without him. I sigh and cuddle myself again under the sheets. Sleep slowly coming over me. The slamming of door makes me wake up abruptly.

Puzzled, I look around the room until I realize what's going on. "Where the hell are you stupid little girl?" Aron roars from downstairs. He's extremely drunk. Shit. What if Melly wakes up. I jump out off my bed, walking quietly to the door. I open it slightly so I could see him in the hall.

A almost empty whiskey bottle in his left hand and the right one is holding him up by a shelf. With one big gulp he downs the rest of the liquid. Stumbling, he takes a few steps towards the stairs, which are leading to my room. Oh god. Maybe he can't even make it upstairs.

„I swear if you are not home now I'm gonna beat the hell out of you when I get you." he mutters angrily. I'm still standing behind the gap, watching as he comes dangerously nearer. How is he even able to walk up the stairs in his drunken state. "Maggiieee." he calls out chuckling bitterly afterwards.

„You are gonna regret not telling me where you were." he slurs, setting one foot in front of the other managing to get upstairs.

My breath hitches as the smell of the alcohol hits my face. I quickly close the door starting to breath heavily. Hearing his heavy footsteps I start to panic and quickly lock the door. I have to leave. I can't stay here right now. Aron has no limits when he's drunk.

Grabbing my jacket, shoes and my phone, I run to my window and climb onto the lower roof in front of it. I hear the door handle being pressed down forcefully, followed with a loud bang on the door. "Open the f*cking door!" Aron yells banging onto it a few more times.

I wait some moments till I hear him walking away. "Shit!" I mutter, mentally slapping myself. Melody! She's still in there.
