Once I got home my face had gone numb I ran upstairs to my bathroom and found some cotton wool. I then saw myself in the mirror and almost screamed I looked horrible, dry blood surrounded my nose, I had bruises and cuts on my forehead and cheeks and a huge puffy lip. I began wiping at the blood then I went for the cuts which stung like hell.
Once all the blood was off my face I looked a tiny bit better. I rolled up my top to look at my side which was swollen and bruised but didn't hurt too much. After cleaning up the mess in the bathroom I went down to the kitchen to get a glass of ice cold water to drink and put against my lip. Sitting at the island in the kitchen I knew I was going to look like this for days and I did not want to go back to school.
'Are you okay?' I screamed running from the voice behind me. I then turned round to see all the boys standing there. Including who I think was Zayn and his girlfriend. I started crying mainly because I had to go through this by myself. Louis hugged me tightly into his chest as I wrapped my arms around him. When the boys all saw my face they took a deep breath in and looked pretty shocked.
'What happened? We realised you weren't at school and then we asked Mollie if she knew where you were and she told us she saw you running home and then saw Jessica during her dance lesson looking pretty angry and pissed at something.' Liam explained all in one breath.
'Yeah Jessica beat me up for planning to go to the beach with you guys and mainly Liam.' I sniffed wiping away the tears from my eyes.
Liam stayed silent. Niall asked if I wanted to go see a doctor but I really didn't I have a massive fear of hospitals and doctor surgeries.. White cloak syndrome I think it's called. I told all the boys to go through to the lounge and I could explain things a bit better to them. Liam then stopped me asking if he could have a word in private.
We stayed back in the kitchen, we were both awkwardly looking at each other until Liam spoke, 'I'm so sorry, this is all my fault. Jessica dated a lot of the boys in school, that all stopped when she met me, we were together for two years at the start it was a bit on and off and then became more serious. I broke up with her mainly because her personality changed over the last three months she was distraught and really torn up about it. She texted me almost every day wanting me back but I wanted to move on. She then sent me pictures of her cutting and I told the school councillor. Jessica was in this special hospital and only came back to school a month ago. She's got some kind of mental illness now and depression but the more she hides it then the more angry she will get with one person that has done the tiniest thing to upset her. I'm really sorry and I should've told you.. She doesn't really know what she's doing and I need you to report this to the school so she can get more help.' Liam said lightly running his hands along my arms, almost as if he was begging me to forgive him.
'Liam, it's not your fault. I like you as a friend and I want our friendship to grow. I might go to school tomorrow and I will tell someone but I need you to come with me because I can't do it alone, I'm not good at talking about things that happen. Thanks for explaining it though, it really scared me.' Liam shook his head and then pulled me in for a hug. We then headed through to the lounge.
'Oi! They're knew sofas!' I shouted at Niall and Louis who were jumping about on them. They both looked to the floor. I felt as if I was a teacher and they were two eight year olds that I was shouting at!
'You must be Zayn and-'
I was cut off 'Isabella' the dark haired girl smiled sweetly at me.
'Its nice to meet you both.' I tried smiling but failed as it hurt. Isabella was tucked into Zayn who had his arms wrapped around her; I would be lying if I didn't say I was a bit jealous of how loved up they were.
'Do you guys want to watch a film?' I asked pointing to a collection of a few DVDs. Niall, Louis, Liam and Harry said they'd love to but Zayn said that him and Isabella had to be somewhere. He stood up stretching as I looked him up and down.... Checking him out.. Woops!
I walked the loved up couple to the door as my mum, Lily and Josh made their way in. 'Honey!! What happened? You look terrible.' My mum grabbed my hand hugging me.
'Its okay, I got beat up by this girl but my friend Liam explained that she had a few problems of her own which made her turn on me and we are going to sort it all out tomorrow' I sighed as my mum looked at all of my cuts and bruises.
'You should've texted me when it happened, I would've come straight home. Please, if anything else happens you must get in touch as soon as possible, okay?' My mum was acting like a normal over protective parent! But I sometimes loved the fact she cared a lot for me, I have a strong bond with her. She understands me a lot as she was only sixteen when she had me. We are actually sometimes mistaken for friends or sisters and we hardly look alike and my mum is only thirty two making her quite young! She has jet black hair and green eyes and olive skin. I get most of my looks from my dad. My little brother Josh looks just like my mum and Lily looks like all of us; A little bit of my mum a little bit of my dad and she's actually quite like me!
'Oh by the way my friends have dropped by to check on me and we were just going to watch a DVD.' My mum then snuck her head into the lounge realising they were all boys. 'Okay, no nonsense though! You will have to go watch the DVD in your room though because I have to put your brother and sister in the lounge whilst I make phone calls and prepare dinner.'
I took the boys all up to my room. 'Its so big! And pink.' Niall pointed out the obvious.
'Yup! I got the biggest room as I was the one who was basically getting dragged away from my friends and my parents felt bad!' I laughed taking a seat on my bed.
'Lucky you've got a big enough bed for all of us!' Harry said and then we all have each other a weird look realising how bad that sounded. We then burst out laughing.
'You better pick a film! And since we've moved up here into my room it will most likely be a chick flick we watch!' I squealed with excitement.
Niall picked a DVD at random. Wild Child. Yessss my favourite. 'Ive seen this before. It's actually okay.' Louis and Harry announced in Unison.
'Thats what happens when you live in a house of women' they both moaned again in unison. They looked at each Other 'stop copying me' they both shouted at the same time. At this point Niall, Liam and I were crying with laughter, it was so weird both of them saying the exact same things at the exact same time.
About half way through the film all the boys had fallen asleep apart from Louis. 'Are you sure you're okay from today?' He asked looking at me sympathetically.
'Yeah, id rather not speak about it though, it was horrible. I actually thought she was going to kill me.' My voice cracked at the end as tears filled my eyes.
'Aww babe, come here.' Louis signalled for me to move in closer to him as he comforted me whilst I cried for a while. I knew this was coming as I'm not the best at holding in emotions. Louis was definitely the best person to be comforted at this time though.
'Thank you, again. For helping me through all of this. Now we've got a list. First day at school, grazed knees and getting beat up! You've been there the whole time to help me. It means a lot and although we've only been friends for a couple of days it feels like I've known you forever.' I smiled. Then I couldn't help myself as I entwined my fingers with Louis' and pulled him forward letting my lips touch with his as the kiss became more passionate.
