'Look John whatever you want you're not getting it so please leave, Amelia has just given birth and she doesn't need this shit' Charlie spoke. Amelia could see her getting worked up and put a hand on her back hoping to calm her down. 'I raised you Charlie, you need to respect me'.
Charlie snapped 'you didn't raise me John, you were never there' you could hear the pain In Charlie's voice and saw her trying to keep her composure because she didn't want to give him the satisfaction of seeing her breakdown.
'Maybe I was never there but you had everything you wanted, you had a house a good life and money what more could a child want?'Â Charlie just ignored John walking back to open the door motioning for him to leave. But John shock his head. 'Okay look Charlie one of my businesses has failed, and it's taken a lot of my money with it. I just need to borrow a couple of grand. Can think of it as paying me back for looking after you all these years'.
Amelia saw a look in Charlie's eyes which she has come to recognise. Charlie was about to blow. Her breathing was becoming heavy her left eye twitching and she was clenching her fists together. These were all signs that Charlie was gonna loose it. 'The answer is no John now leave'.
John looked through his pockets trying to find something Amelia and Charlie looked at eachother confused. 'How about you give me what I need and I can leave these here for you' he says holding up a bag of pills and some heroin. 'Oh come on I know you've been dying to do it Charlie, no one ever really comes back from being an addict, just take it and give me the money'.
Amelia saw red she walked up to John and slapped him across his face. 'If you ever bring these in my house again I will kill you, do you understand?' John just raised his hands and laughed. 'You both know I'm right. One day Charlie isn't going to cope and she's gonna do what she only knows to do. Go back to being a lowlife drug addict with no hope or no future. I mean maybe if I saw you weren't a nobody I would've loved you and cared for you but no you always proved me wrong'.
Charlie grabbed him by the shirt pulling him towards the door Amelia was screaming behind them telling Charlie to calm down and not do anything stupid. But she couldn't hear anything she wanted one thing John out of there home. She opened the front door and flung him out. John got up from the floor and spat towards Charlie. 'You're gonna regret that Charlie'. She slammed the door shut and ran her hands through her hair trying to calm down.
Amelia stood there just looking at Charlie. 'You shouldn't have grabbed him like that'. Charlie spun around 'I'm sorry what? He breaks into our home tries to get money off me brings drugs her and I shouldn't have grabbed him? Are you fucking crazy or what?' Amelia turned to Charlie. 'Don't speak to me like that, all I'm saying is that he could take that further you know what he is like. You put your hands on him'. Charlie just scoffed walking past Amelia
'You have a family now, you can't be doing this crazy shit anymore'. Lilly started to cry so Charlie made her way over and picked her up swaying her softly in her arms. Amelia just smiled at the sight infront of her. But knew things were gonna go bad from here. John knows about them and she knows he's gonna make their lives a living hell until he gets what he wants. 'Hey babe I'm just gonna pop to the store to get a few things' Amelia said to Charlie. 'I'll go what do you need'. Charlie asked. 'It's fine I can go just watch lily I won't be long' she kissed Charlie goodbye then started to make her way to her car.
