That's Just Life

What She Heard

The next morning she woke up with red puffy eyes and a wet pillow. Last night she woke up and just had a little cry like she does every now and then. But there was a proper reason, it was because what she heard the night before. She wanted to tell her mum and dad but if she did, Jack would be angry and know that she came into his room last night. She decided she wouldn't tell them but she thought to try and get it out of her brain, well at least try, she would write it down on a piece of paper and put it in a box underneath her bed so hopefully she wouldn't find it again until she decides to move out. So she got out a notepad and wrote what she heard last night
' Dear whoever,
Last night I heard that my brother was getting bullied at school. He was getting punched and hurt and that he would come home a little before me ( Lola ) and my parents so we wouldn't see how bruised and hurt he was. Apparently he had or has a black eye, he was bleeding from a few different places and he also had headaches everyday because of stress and anxiety. He is torn up and I don't like that at all. I hate bullies they are horrible. No one especially my brother Jack can be treated that way ever! I wish the world would not have any bullies because bullies are bad and mean and beat people up and that's a bad thing. I love my brother and I want to help, but if I tell someone he will know that I was spying and he will hate me for it, and we will never talk again... But I don't know what to do, I want to make a plan. I need to before anything else happens. Hopefully I never find this note again, ever again and if I do never again after that. I love my brother and I know he loves me. But I can't do anything about this or he will hate me.
Love from :
Lola x '

After she read the note over she was crying by the end of it, but she wiped the tears away, got the box that was the furthest under her bed and but it at the very bottom and piled a lot of stuff over it and stuffed it back under and got ready for school and left.

* after school *

Lola was in her bedroom doing homework when there was a knock on her bedroom door. She went up to it and opened it and standing right there, was her brother. Her brother had been bashed and punched and Lola then started crying and hugged her brother tightly and he hugged her tightly back. They hugged for ages and then finally her brother let go and said, " Lola I'm sorry, I love you and always will, I am not doing this because I hate you or mum and dad it's just that I have to do it for my own good, it's hard but I have to, I am soooo sorry Lola, I love you and I will miss you. Goodbye!"
Then he left her room ran into his bedroom and shut the door.
Lola didn't know what he was talking about, but she now did know that he did love her, she was happy that he said that but she was worried and baffled about what he said and I am sorry I have to do this and bla bla bla....

Lola didn't understand what was about to happen, she had no idea that she would come back from school and get told something that she was never expecting....
