The addict and the teacherWords: 3510

Things with Amelia and Charlie were going good. Amelia has moved back in giving Charlie a chance to prove that she can do it. Amelia woke up to Charlie singing to Lilly while she cooks breakfast. Amelia quickly grabbed her phone and snapped a photo of it.

'You look so adorable you two' Amelia says giving Charlie a fright. 'Jesus woman announce yourself next time'. Amelia just laughed making her way over to hug Charlie from behind and lean her head against her shoulders. As they sat down to eat breakfast Charlie spoke up 'I've quit the club and going to focus on the mechanic shop, I'm thinking of buying it' Amelia smiled feeling happy Charlie was going to be away form the club. The club that could easily sway her to start drinking again. 'I think that is a great idea love' Amelia says kissing Charlie's hand.

'I've got to got to work, I'll see you both later' Amelia kisses Lilly and Charlie's head before making her way out. 'Let's get you to daycare you little monster' picking Lilly up and getting her dressed. 'Right mommy will pick you up later on. Now you be good' Charlie spoke like Lilly could understand her. She drove to the mechanic shop she worked at and walked into the office. Placing a cheque on the table. The boss raised an eyebrow 'I'll give you this much to buy you out' they guys eyes went wide. He didn't even hesitate before saying yes.

Charlie was working on a car when her phone started to ring. She pulled herself out and answered it.

Amelia-Have you picked Lilly up?

Charlie-No why, it's your turn I'm still in the shop.

Amelia-I went to pick her up and they told me someone else had picked her up. They're just getting me the description now.

Charlie hung up the phone and drove straight to the day care. 'How could you let this happen? It's clearly states either me or Amelia are the only ones to pick Lilly up' Charlie screamed while Amelia was standing there trying to calm her down. 'We are very sorry he came in and told us he was her grandfather he even had ID' they both looked at eachother and ran to there car. 'That son of a bitch, I'm going to kill him' before Charlie could get out of the car Amelia pulled her back. 'Our daughter is in there you need to calm down, you can't go in there and just loose your shit at him Charlie I need you to be calm okay?' Charlie nodded her head. She knocked on the door loudly and with force.

One of the maids opened the door letting them both come in straight away. Amelia gave her a grateful smile before following after Charlie. They both stopped when they saw John holding Lilly and laughing with her. In the corner of her eye Amalia could see Charlie clench her first but Amelia held on to her hand. 'Give us back our child John' Amelia spoke. But John just laughs. 'She's my only granddaughter if I want to see her I will'. 'John I swear to god if you don't give Lilly back I will kill you with bare hands' Charlie spoke with rage.

Amelia walked closer to John and John gave Lilly back over to her. They both sighed out of relief. 'Amelia take Lilly and wait in the car' Charlie says not taken her eyes of John. 'Charlie come on don't do anything stupid. He's not worth it' but Charlie didn't back down. 'Wait in the car Amelia' and so she did. Charlie walked closer to John and before he could say anything she punched him in his jaw sending him flying backwards. She didn't stop she got on top of him and started punching him. 'Don't you ever touch my child again' she said landing the final punch then walking out.
