Chapter 3. First Friend

Aria's P.O.V

I woke up and realised it was finally the weekend and bank holiday on Monday I smiled to myself as I snuggled my face deeper into my pillow and quickly fell asleep again.

-three hours later-

I jolted out of bed and looked at the time. It stated that it was 11:00 in the morning. I mentally cursed the whole time I did my regular business in the bathroom. But, when I ran downstairs and called out for my dad, I was greeted with silence. I just shrugged and made myself some pancakes. I tried ignoring the deep pain in my stomach and my nose. I stared at the two messily carved words on my arms while I ate. I sighed and pulled my sleeves back down and started smiling again randomly and looked around the kitchen and listened to the birds singing outside. It's the first time I have smiled in a long time, probably because no one was around and I was left with my thoughts. But my smile quickly faltered when I noticed a note on the fridge that was written very messily. I got up and read the note:

I'll be back by 3. I need my lunch ready and I want you either in your room or out of the house. if I see your face...I don't need to remind you what will happen.

I shuddered as an image came into my head of what that psycho man will do to me. I don't get why I still call him my dad. He doesn't deserve to be stated as 'dad'. I don't even know why I still live here. I guess it's because I have nowhere else to go. I have no other family or any friends. I was lonely. I sighed and washed the dishes and went up to my room to change into my sweats and sat on the bed listening to music. I listened to 'Right here' by Justin Bieber. Yes, yes I'm a fan but I'm not obsessed I just like a few of his songs that have good meanings. This song actually made me feel special...

(A/N Lyric Video for this song on the side if you haven't listened to it

Baby, I'm here, I'm here to stay

I ain't going nowhere

I know you're scared cause you've been hurt

Baby, it's alright

Lost in your eyes every time that you look in mine

I promise to be all that you need

I won't leave you, baby

No, cause I just wanna love you

I would never ever put nobody up above you

I just wanna kiss you baby, I just wanna hug you till the end, baby till the end

And I'm right here, ain't nobody gotta hold you

Cause I'm right here, ain't nobody gon' control you

Cause I'm right, right here

Yeah

I'm right here, I'm right here...

-knock, knock-

I ripped the ear phones out of my ears and started to panic. It was only 1:30 though! I ran downstairs and yanked the door open to reveal a man in uniform and a red bag. I sighed in relief, it was just the postman. "Yes?"

"A letter for you ma'am"

"Me? Um...Thank you" I gave him a puzzled look.

"Have a nice day" He smiled and turned to walk off.

"You too" I called out quickly and shut the door staring at the envelope in my hand. It had my name and address on it. I was so confused. I've never had a letter written to me before. I opened it slowly and was a little frightened but curious about what it could be. I read it slowly, taking in the information:
