Strawberry Fields Forever

Chapter 2

Alex's pov
John had ignored me all day, it was only when i got off the bus that he decided to speak to me as he got off at the same stop, "so how was your first day at school?" He asked me
"why are you talking to me John?" I replied
"what do u mean"
i sighed "you haven't spoken to me pretty much all day, and as soon as we get away from everyone suddenly I'm your friend"
"I'm sorry its just-"
i interrupted him "its just you have a reputation yeah? And don't want all your mates to see you with a weirdo like me, well thats fine i dont care"
"Oh come on Alex, are you serious?" John wined
"I'll see you 'round Lennon" i said before turning away from him and walking home
---
When i arrived home there was a note on the table it read 'I've gone out for a bit, nothing for you to be worried about, I'll see you when I get back, dad'
I walked upstairs up to my room, grabbed my guitar and sat on my bed beginning to play my guitar.
---
It was now 6pm my dad was still not back, as i was bored i decided to go out the record shop.
---
I was browsing through the records, unfortunately i didn't bring any money, so i couldn't actually buy anything, i was looking at a Buddy Holly record when i noticed someone walk into the shop, it was John. "Buddy Holly eh?" He said as he walked up to me looking at the record I had in my hands, i nodded "dont have any money though" i said as i put the record back and walked to to the back of the shop looking at other records. When i had finished i decided i should get back home as my dad hopefully would be back soon, i walked out the shop and started walking home, John then caught up with me. "here" he said and passed me the Buddy Holly record i was looking at from the shop
"W-what? You didnt have to John, i'll pay you back tomorrow, alright? " i said as i took the record
He chuckled "nah i got it for free" he then whispered in my ear, making me shiver, "five finger discount" he smirked, i rolled my eyes and gave him a quick hug "ive got to go, my dad will wonder where i am"
"Ill see you on the bus tomorrow then" John said before we went our separate ways
---
When i got home it was dark, my dad still wasn't back, i had no idea where he was, i decided to get changed it my pyjama shorts and vest top and go to bed.
---
I awoke with a loud bang, i got out of bed and went downstairs, seeing my dad.
"Dad, where've you been" i asked
He muttered something that i couldn't understand as it came out slurred. He had been drinking.
"Dad i think you should go to bed" i said as i pulled his arm a little, suddenly he lashed out and slapped me across the cheek, "get away from me stupid bitch!" My dad shouted at me. tears started to form as i quickly ran out the door
