Scarred For Life

Chapter 1

I looked up at the grey cloudy sky. It was probably going to rain again, oh how i hate the English weather. Pulling my coat closer to me, i ran inside to the closest shelter, which was a local cafe. Everyone in there was looking very posh. With tight fancy dresses and polished shoes, and perfectly made hair. On the other hand, i was just wearing a long sleeved loose white top, black skinny jeans and black dirty boots covered with mud. My hair was scraggly and all over the place and my mascara was everywhere from crying since ages ago. But i didn't care about the way i looked. I just wanted shelter, thats all. Some people might think i was stupid to run away from a very posh, big and fancy house. But who would want to stay with that beast i have to call my 'father'. But because i ran away, i have no proper home, no other clothes, no money and no food. And i was on week 2 of living alone.

I was getting water, thankfully the pub down the road was giving water out for free. Just no food. I walked slowly and awkwardly into the ladies bathroom. There were already two girls in there. One was wearing a peach short dress and lots of make up. And the other was wearing a black shirt, black skinny jeans and black boots. Her hair was red and tied up in a ponytail and she wasnt wearing lots of make-up. They were both infront of mirrors fixing how they looked like. I rolled my eyes and stood infront of mirror number 3. I sighed. Wow, i look so bad. I noticed the other girl smiling at me. I watched as she pushed her small make-up bag closer to me.

"Here" She said with a smile.

I gave her a tight smile and digged into the make up bag. I started applying some Mascara and some eyeliner, then some lipstick, blush and concealer. I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled widely. For once i was actually proud of how i looked like.

"My name is Jodie, whats yours?" Jodie said extending her hand out for me to shake.

I looked down and shook her hand for a second and then moved back.

"You're the shy type arent you?" Jodie asked, smirking.

I nodded shyly. "My name is Elizabeth".  

"Well thats alright with me, i love talking so you can just relax and enjoy my stories" Jodie said giggling.

Jodie and me started walking out the bathroom and onto the wet pavements of London. It had stopped raining but people everywhere were still carrying umbrellas incase it started raining once again. I looked and Jodie She was smiling and babbling on about her life. She must have a really fun and exciting life. Family, who love her. Friends who care for her. A home, that awaits her every night. I sighed. I wish that was my life.

I didn't know exactly where we were going, but we soon reached a house, probably hers. She walked in the house and dumped her bags on the floor and yelled.

"MUM! IM HOME AND I BROUGHT A FRIEND!".

"Alright, Alright no need to shout, Honey" A voice came from inside the kitchen.

"Lets go to my room, its much more fun up there" She reassured me as she lead me to her room upstairs. Next to her room door was a door saying 'Mason's Room'. Is Mason her brother? Probably.

Jodie opened her room door revealing a purple coloured room with a white bed, white TV, white cupboard, white Dresser, white sofa and white fluffy flooring.  That was an ideal girly room. But Jodie didnt act girly?

Jodie introduced me to her Xbox 360 and we started playing a series of different types of games. I was actually having fun for the first time in ages. We played for an hour and a half. But then we were told to come down for dinner by her mother.

We went down tnhe stairs and joined her family on the table. It was super awkward. No one said a word, after saying 'Grace'. I ate the Mac & Cheese like it was my last meal. It was so good, so cheesy, so delicous!

Jodie's brother was actually good-looking. He had dirty blonde hair, blue eyes and a few freckles. He kept smiling at me randomly. I looked over at Jodie who was already done and was playing with her fork. 

"You done?" Jodie asked

I nodded and we both got up and went back into her room. We continued playing and in the middle of our game Mrs Graham (Jodie's mother) gave us both a bowl of chocolate and strawberry icecream. I was having a great time until i noticed what time it was. It was 11. The underground train station, the place where i sleep, will close down at 11:30. I tapped Jodie on the shoulder and pointed at the clock.

"Aww, do you really have to leave" Jodie asked.

I nodded, sadly. 

"Okay then, it was fun meeting you. How about we hang out at the Pub at around 4?" Jodie asked

I nodded and waved goodbye. I gave her a hug and went down the stairs. I looked at the floor as i made my way to the front door I bumped into something hard and fell hard on my bum.Looking up i blushed scarlett. It was Mason. He looked at me apologetically with his ocean blue sparkling eyes and said sorry. 

"It's okay" I said dryly, feeling weird inside as these were my first words that i had ever said in ages.

"Oh, and by the way, I'm Mason, I'm Jodie's brother" He explained as he pulled me up. I felt butterflies in my stomach when he grabbed my hand. Am i in love? EW NO. 

"I'm Elizabeth" I replied.

"Ooh Posh name" Mason said smirking. I giggled shyly.

"Well, bye! hope to see you soon, Eli" He said as he walked up the stairs and disappeared. 

I felt my heart beat faster and faster. OMG HE CALLED ME ELI. Wait why am i freaking out? hes just another boy who will use me. And why did i talk to him. I mentally face-palmed myself at this risky mistake. 

I walked out the house and looked around at the neighbourhood. Where was I? And how do i get to the the train station? This place looked very unfamiliar. I had never seen it in London before. I looked around worriedly trying to see if i could remember anything about our route here. I sighed cluelessly. I decided to walk until i found a sign or something. So, thats what i did. I walked, and walked, and walked. My feet were starting to blister in my tight boots. I walked into an indoor small bus stop. There were two benches in there, i layed down on the bench and took my coat off, using it as a blanket, i wrapped myself around and shut my eyes, trying to fall asleep. Memories and flashbacks of me and my mother started spinning inside my head, causing me to never fall asleep. 

Suddenly, i heard thunder, lightening, a storm was on its way. All of a sudden millions of rain drops fell rapidly on the glass cieling of the bus stop. Tip-tap Tip-Tap each drop making my day even worse. I sighed at my fate. Why me? I shut my eyes one more time and decided to try and fall asleep again. 

At first the sound of rain drops were getting on my nerves. But soon as they got slower, it turned into a relaxing sound causing me to fall asleep.
