I woke up to hear heavy footsteps. Without thinking I got up toke my phone. I ran to hide under the bed , I knew it wasn't safe and I knew who it was. There were time were he would not find me.
He would go back downstairs and wait.
I hate living this life style.
It was like a contrast routine only never ended never pausing.He was gone but I knew he was waiting for me downstairs. I quickly push the chair next to the door. I had a shower and got dressed.
I check the time it was 9:15. I decide to make my way to Liz house.
Your probably wondering were are shawn and mum. Well my mum probably fast asleep. Shawn goes football practise on Saturdays.
I open the window and put something on the edge so I can seek back in.
What I'am I doing ?
Well i'm seeking out. It's not the first time I have done.I check I've got everything and carefully climb out and make way down the roof.
I reach out for tree branch and stretch my foot on to the branch I made sure it was safe and then put my other hand and foot and then climb down.
I then make a run for it since I didn't want to be seen by Terry.
I stop running and I walk to the bus stop.
Good timing too.
I jump on the bus scan my oyster. I take a seat at the back.I don't like it when people stare at me. It feels weird and I know they are ether judging me or feel pity for me.
I pull out my headphones and Listen to music. I love music it make me feel happy and I just forget the world around me. I can't imagine living in a world where music does not exist. This were dance comes come init.
I express how I feel and I get lost in music.
Forget any one even watching It enables me to find myself and lose myself at the same time.
I love them both.I started listening to Jess Glynne -Don't be so hard on yourself. I started singing along in my head.

I was close to Liz house. I quickly check the Time it was 9:50.
Time goes quick and I have to take two buses to get to Liz's house.I got off the bus and walk up the road to Liz house. It's a 5min walk.
As I reach her door I knock. I laughed as I heard Liz shout out "1min".
"It's me Rose" I reply
Then she open the door she smiled but I could tell something was wrong."Hey, so you decide to come then?" She said still smiling.
I just nodded my head and followed her in to be greeted by Mrs and Mr Croft.
They see me both extend looks and smile.
" Hey Rose , it nice to see you again" said Jason
"How are you today ? "Spoke kady after.
"Hey, Jason and kady. "I spoke
"I'm fine thank you" I reply
Yh that's there names. Kady and Jason they insist that I call them that. So I did .
"That's good to hear dear" she reply and went with her husband in to the kitchen.
"Bye Rose" they said and left.
I turned to Liz
"Well that was odd." I said made my way upstairs .Why is everyone starring and pretending that nothing is wrong.
When clearly there is !
I decided to ask Liz since she was quiet for some reason."Liz is something wrong?"
"It just that you and your parents are acting really weird today. And keep staring like everyone else I've seen. "
I said unsure of the outcome to my question
"Rose stand here and look up" looking quite hurt she asked.
I did as she said and I saw my reflection in the mirror.
Tears started streaming down my face I look away and go to sit down next to her.
"That's why " she said softly
"We are all worried about you Rose"
"I ..what happen at school and home?" She asked in a I need to know tone."Lola and Josh and Terry" I said trying to calm myself down.
Liz open her mouth to speak but nothing came out she closed her mouth.
"This has stop you need to tell your mother "she spoke.
"My brother knows" I decide to speak
" he found me yesterday, after well this" i say pointing to my face."And?" She asked
"Well I told him" I reply
"Finally" she wispher
"I'm glad he knows and know we can stop this together but you need to tell your mother Rose."
"She needs to know and has a right too as well" she say very quickly.
I nod my head
"I will tell her but not yet" I reply
Liz signs then goes and comes back with tissue.
"Here "she said smiling handing me the tissue
" Today we are going shopping you can leave you cloths here. Then take them bit by bit. Okay?" She say calmly"Thanks" I say drying my eyes with the tissue.
"And forget about Lola she a jealous b*tch who needs to grow up" she say
"Now are we all set to go?"she say excited
"Yh" I say with a sign
I didn't feel like going back out especially when I knew why they staring. I look ugly.
