Scarred For Life

Chapter 2

Danielle's Point of View

My eyes fluttered open as the sun shone on my face. I slowly lifted up my head and grunted in pain. I looked around me remembering what had happened last night. I was still in the alley.

I got up quickly holding my stomach as I got up, but I couldn't it was too painful. I started to sob but then pulled myself together. I tried standing up straight and started to walk home fighting through the pain. There wasn't a lot of people out so it was good.

When I got home my nose filled with the smell of alcohol, no surprise there. I creeped down to my bedroom hoping my parents wouldn't hear me.

"Danielle!" I heard someone shout.

I slowly turned around and in walked, or stumbled my mum with can of beer in her hand.

"W.. why are... yo..you late?" She slurred.

"I was out... " I say to her backing up as she walked closer.

"With who?"

"No one..."

"Don't lie to me!" She screams. My eyes start to fill with tears as I know what's going to happen next. She comes up to me holding my face forcefully. "you were a mistake, we never should of had you"

She slapped my face away, and I flinched. I stood there as she smiled. She punched my face again, the same place as last night and I tried my hardest to hold back tears.

"Get out of my sight!" She screams. I nod quickly running down the stairs as fast as I can to my room. My room is the safest place probably. I have a lock on it so nobody but me can enter.

I have a first aid section which I use a lot and a bathroom that was there when we got the house.

I locked my bedroom door and slide down the door and cried. I don't know why everyone hates me. I don't know what I've done to deserve this. Nobody will listen and it's , it's just not fair.

My daily routine would be; get up, shower, get dressed, get beaten , cover up marks, school, get beaten, cry, cut, sleep, cry, cut, cry, sleep.

You may he noticed that there are no food breaks, and that is because I don't like to eat. People say that I'm fat and I shouldn't eat. So I don't.

I got up from the floor and went into the bathroom to do my daily cutting. I don't know how many scars I have, but I have some on my legs, belly and all over my arms. Nobody has noticed.

----

I woke up sore everywhere the next morning. I had to go to school. I absolutely hate school. It's the worst thing in the world. I only go there to get the education I need and get out of there as soon as possible.

I got dressed and put on some make-up to cover up as many scars as possible, and then my concealer runs out. Great(!)
For today's outfit it was plain black leggings, black long sleeved shirt and a grey zipper on top. I put on my black converse taking my bag and darting out the door to avoid my parents. I walk to school because it's only a ten minute walk.

Once I get to the school gate I get lots of stares from everyone. I ignore them and walk to my locker. I press in my locker code and open it up, there's a note in it I pick it up and read it.

Your late, double the beating today.

From you-know-who

There's a thump in my throat, I swallow it down along with my tears.
I hear sniggers from around me and ignore closing my locker door shut. I turn around to see Calum standing there which makes me jump.

"Danielle... " he says with such an evil tone in his voice.

I look at the ground and try really hard not to make contact with him.

"So you got the note?" He then says.

I nod slightly and continue to look at the ground. He takes my wrists and squeezes them.

"Ow!" I say almost screaming.

"Come on I'm hardly touching you" he teases.

I feel a tear fall down as the grip gets tighter. The scars they are really hurting. He releases my wrist and I quickly wipe away the tear.

"See you later" he hisses down at me before walking away.

I sit on the floor my head in my hands and sob.

I should've just killed myself. It would have suited everyone.

----

I was going to try avoid Calum today. I had a plan in my head, but I just decided to get it over and done with.

when class was over I started to make my way home. I bumped into someone, clumsy me. I mumbled a quick 'sorry' but he gripped my shoulder really tight.

"Hi Dani"he smirks. I hate, hate, hate when he calls me Dani.

"Thought you could avoid me did you?"

I don't say a word and look at the ground.

"Look at me when I'm talking to you!" He demands. He grips my face forcefully so that I am forced to make eye contact with him. He growls at me before losing the grip slightly. "what's that on your face?"

I pull my face away and hide it. My concealer must of came of when I was crying. Shit!

"It's nothing, just make-up" I lie still hiding my face.

"No it's not. And I know I didn't do that" he's asking like he cares. Pfft , bullshit Calum Hood doesn't care about anything.

"Are you getting hit by someone else?"

"No,not anyone else..." he stays silent for a while,before I feel a sting across my face. He slapped me. That wasn't too bad.

"You can go" I looked at him and he glared at me "Go!"

I nodded quickly holding my cheek and started walking back. I hope he doesn't suspect anything.

When I got home. It was quiet, thank goodness for that. I set my bag down by the door and made my way to the bathroom. I haven't really been in this bathroom before , only a couple times because I use my own, but they aren't here so they can get me into trouble for it.

I went to look in the mirror and looked at my face. I looked at mess. You can see all the bruises on my face plus my red cheek from the slap I got from Calum.

I started examining my face even more when the door opened. I jumped as I looked at the door.

My dad.

"What do you think your doing in here?!" He yells. Drunk again.

"Nothing, just washing my hands"

He walks towards me and punches me in the nose, I can feel the blood stream down. "you aren't aloud in here, do you hear me?!"

I nod as I cry.

He punches me in the face again " I said do you hear me?!"

I nod "yes.."

He pushes me out of the bathroom and slams the door. I run down to my bedroom locking the door. I go in to my bathroom, and look at myself. My nose is starting to bruise and I've got bruises all over my face now. I can't do this anymore. I've tried to stay strong but I can't anymore. I'm done with this shit.

I packed a duffel bag with almost all my things. I didn't have a lot so it was fine. I put in my phone and my money and all my precious stuff in a crossover bag. I put on my pair of Uggs, black leggings, a long sleeved shirt and a black jumper. I made sure I had taken everything before climbing out my window.
