CHAPTER 13

~ZOE POV~

I had no idea where I was going. I was just walking. Turning a corner every so often.

I hated him.

I wasn't going to talk to him.

I wasn't going to look at him.

Hate hate hate him.

I slumped down against a tree and cried. Hugging my knees to my chest and burying my face in my hands.

I cried and cried and cried.
I knew I shouldn't trust people.
Not after what my dad did to me and Lyndon. Suddenly turning from loving us, into not even wanting us to exist.
I had enough of it. Trusting people and always getting betrayed or hurt.

It will always be like this. I need to keep my feelings to myself. Tell everyone I'm fine.

It was getting quite dark, so I slowly walked back to the house, texting Lyndon to meet me there.

Harry was gone when I got back, part of me hoped he had gone looking for me, but I doubt that.

Lyndon make us hot chocolate and popcorn while I showered and put on my pyjamas.

I took out two spare pillows, some blankets and some DVDs and made my way to the couch. I am not sleeping in the same bed as him so I will be sleeping here, hopefully alongside Lyndon.

We both sat next to each other on the sofa, wrapped up in blankets and me leaning against him, his arm round me.

"What's wrong darling?" He asked.

"Everything's been fine. But then Harry almost kissed me, decided against it, and just walked off. That was a few days ago but ever since then he's just being really distant. He clearly doesn't want to be with me and that's okay, but I just feel angry at myself for ever believing that he might possibly fall for me, and that he actually cared. I should of known that this would happen. I couldn't help but think of dad. And how dad did this too. Am I that hard for someone to just love?" I explained, tears falling down my cheeks.

Lyndon wiped at my face. "I know what happened with us and dad was a hard thing, but we got through that didn't we? Look at us now, everything worked out. I love you Zoe, and I will never ever hurt you or leave you no matter what. Harry probably needs some thinking stuff and he will come around, I'm sure of it. You're an amazing girl, way too good for him, and you deserve so much better okay? I'm always here for you, and like always, I'm going to make sure you get through this. Everything will be okay."

"Thank you Lyndon. I love you."

"I love you too sis."

We popped in Captain America: First Avenger and started to watch it. I love this film so much I love superheroes and comics.

The film finished and I was almost asleep, so Lyndon helped me set up the sofa for us to sleep on.

I cuddled up to him, my head in his lap, and shut my eyes. I heard a door open, and close.

"Hi." Harry said.

"Hey," Lyndon replied. And then I heard Harry's footsteps go upstairs.

Guess he didn't really care.

* * *

I was lying in bed, I couldn't really fall asleep. As usual, Lyndon had gone over to stay at friends, and I was alone with my dad. Lyndon thought I also was out with a friend, because I didn't want him to worry about me. But I didn't really have many friends at this moment of my life. I could hear my dad shouting and I could hear him smashing some beer bottles. I signed, and made my way downstairs.
"Daddy, are you okay?" I asked.
"What do you want?" He spat, venom and alcohol clear in his voice.
"I just want to know you're okay." I whispered.
"I would be perfectly fine if your mother was here. Buts she not, is she?"
"No daddy."
"Go to bed."
"Can I stay with you?"
"I said go to bed." He shouted loudly, but me being fourteen I didn't really know what to do. I just stood there and looked at him. I was scared of him. Scared of my own dad.
"Stupid little girl." He yelled, throwing a bottle at me.
The glass hit my head, and I fell backwards and onto the floor. I could feel it stick into my, piercing my skin and I could feel the blood that was dripping down my terrified and crying face. I began screaming, "help me. Someone help me."
"Shut up!" He bellowed, his fist connecting with the side of my head, and then everything went black.
