Chapter 4

The next day, Izzy got up, and realised that no one was home yet. She was confused, her mom always got home around midnight and to see that she wasn't home was a big worry. She went round the three bedroom house, and checked all the rooms, she wasn't there. She tried to call her phone, straight to voicemail.

She got ready for soccer none-the-less, but left a note on the kitchen table,

GONE TO SOCCER, WILL BE HOME AROUND 7PM, CALL ME WHEN YOU SEE THIS.

She locked the door and ran to the complex. She was a bit late but that didn't matter, they hadn't started. As she walked in she noticed Alex and Tobin in deep conversation, and the first thing Alex looked at was the bandage, once she realised that Izzy had seen her, she quickly looked away.

'Right girls, let's start with a light run around the pitch,' Tobin announced.

All of the girls did the run and Izzy was one of the quickest, when she got back she heard Alex say 'woah Izzy is so good at running as well, she should definitely be in club soccer,' to Tobin. She was really pleased with this, and grabbed one of the balls from the bag and started juggling it with her feet, adding in a couple of around-the-worlds and other tricks, she wasn't showing off, but she was trying to practice getting to 100 keep-ups.

The rest of the session went smoothly, and in the 11v11 at the end she assisted 3 and scored 4, Alex and Tobin looked really impressed! Afterwards, Tobin gave her a leaflet about the Portland Thorns trials next month and smiled at her as she gave it

'You have a really good chance of getting in, you're an amazing player!'

'Thanks, I'll definitely try to go, I should be able to!'

She walked home, and remembered that she hadn't eaten anything for 24 hours. 'never mind,' she thought.

As she got to her door she noticed a group of girls by her door, these weren't any old group of girls though, these were the girls who had bullied her for months,  who had made her go through all this hurt, and she hated them for it.

She feebly walked up to them,

'Hello?' She said.

'oh hello, Izzy, fancy seeing you here,' one of the girls said with a laugh echoing from the other girls, she was obviously their sort of leader, and she was called Imogen. Izzy knew her very well, they used to be best friends a couple of years ago, until Imogen turned on her, and she was now making her life hell. 
'What do you want?'

'We don't want anything,'

'Then please leave I need to get into my house,'

'Oh Izzy, I don't think you're in a position to argue back,'

'I can't see why not,'

'Girls, get her,'

Izzy started running, but had nowhere to run. The group of girls behind her were quickly catching up and after about a minute, caught up with her. They started punching her, kicking her, and scratching her in any way they could.

'STOP, PLEASE STOP!' Izzy screamed out in pain

Eventually, after about 5 minutes, they did stop, and left Izzy lying in the middle of a park, crying in pain. When they had gone, she got up and ran back to her house, no one was home again, and it dawned on her that her mom hadnt come home all day. This worried her. She opened her phone. 5 new questions, this time, she didn't bother to read them, and just got her razor blade out and cut her arms, her legs, her back, anywhere she could get to. She studied the bruises on her body from Imogen and her friends, these would need to stay hidden, she thought.
