We'll Protect You

Chapter 3

~Skip To Friday~

Amanda's Pov:

I arrived at school and head inside, like any other person would, and went to my locker. "Amanda?" I looked beside me and it was Evan, so I grabbed a few of my things from my locker, and then slammed it shut. "May I have a word with you in my office?" He asked and I just stared at him, so he turns his back to me, and I followed him into his office. "Have a seat." He said and I sat down.

"If you're still trying to find out what's wrong with me?" I said and he looks up at me. "You're wasting your time and it's none of your business." I tell him with an attitude and he sighs.

"Look, I know you don't want to talk about it, but-" I cut him off.

"But what?!" I yelled at him and his eyes widen. "There's nothing you can do to help me! Besides, I shouldn't even be here, because I should've been dead a long time ago!" I screamed, but then covered my mouth, because of what I just said and he got up from his desk, so I get up from the chair and tried heading out the door, but he grabs my wrist and pins me against the wall. "Let me go." I said and then dropped my stuff on the floor.

"Explain." He said in a serious tone and I shook my head, but when he tightens his grip on my wrist. I hiss in pain and when he looks down at my arm. "What is this?" He asked me and I looked up into his eyes. "Why do you have cuts and bruises?" He said and my vision was getting blurry.

"It's none of your business." I said and then he looks at my other arm.

"Were you trying to kill yourself?" He asked me and I stayed quiet. "Please Amanda. I need to know." He begged me and tears begin to fall down my face.

"I-I can't." I cried and he lets me go, so I picked up my stuff from the floor, and walked out of his office.

-Skip To Gym-

"Amanda? You're sitting out on this." Tyler said and I crossed my arms.

"What for? I'm not handicap, and I'm not sitting out." I tell him with an attitude.

"Evan said-" I cut him off.

"I don't care on what Mr.Fong says. Alright?!" I yelled a little bit and everyone just back away from me, but he snapped back at me.

"You're sitting this out! Now go back to the locker room!" He screams at me and I scoff, so I just walked off the field and head back to the locker room, but then my phone started ringing. I quickly opened my locker and took my phone out, but when I looked to see who it was.

"Fuck." I said and answered it. "Yes sir?"

"Your priciple is coming over tonight. Why is that?" My dad asked me in a calm voice and my eyes widen.

"I don't know." I said and he growls.

"You're cleaning the house when you come home from school, and when he leaves the house? You're going to get it. Understand me?!" He yelled through the phone.

"Yes sir." I said and he hangs up the phone, so I put the phone back in my backpack, and I changed clothes. When I was done, I close my locker and left the locker room, but before I could even open the door. It burst wide open and Tyler pins me against the wall, while I dropped my backpack on the floor, and his grip tightens. "You're hurting me!" I yelled at him and what he does next caught me by surprised.

He smacked his lips onto mine and my eyes widen, so I stood there frozen in place, but soon melt into his kiss. This was my first actual kiss and my heart was beating fast, while he licked the bottom of my lips, so I slowly opened my mouth, and he slipped his tongue in. A small moan escaped my mouth and my eyes widen even more, because that surprised me. Then he picks me up from the floor and wraps my legs around his waist, while I wrapped my arms around his neck, and the kiss was getting heated, but then he pulls back from the kiss. We were both breathing heavily and I was panting really hard, while he rests his head on top of mine, and then puts me back down.

"You can go home, so you're excused from your classes today, but don't worry. Evan said it was alright for you to leave." He said and hands me a note, so I take the note from him and got my backpack from the floor, and walked out of the gym.

|Time Lapse|

I finally got home and put my stuff in my room, so I changed my clothes and went downstairs, and begin to clean the house. First, the living room and then the dining room, and the kitchen is last. I start picking up all of the empty beer cans and bottles from the floor, while putting the bottles in the recycle, and the cans in a bag. There's days that my dad will come home drunk from work, and he'll start throwing stuff around the house, but it's even worse when he comes up to my room. I'm either laying their, while writing in my journal, or asleep, and he'll start hitting me with the beer bottle. That's why I most of these cuts on my entire body, but some cuts are from me, because I tried killing myself(a/n: I don't like self-harm or anything suicidal, but if any of you think that? Don't, because there are people out there that need you, and care about you. Trust me, because I've been told the same thing, so please don't do these things).

Once I was done with the bottles and cans, I start throwing away some trash that was also on the floor, and then reorganized the entire living room. Then I vacuumed afterwards, and I moved to the dining room next, but it wasn't that bad, because he's the only one to eat in here, and some of his friends come over as well. I picked up all of the trash from the floor and on top of the table. Then I swept, but we didn't have a mop, so I grabbed the bucket from under the sink in the kitchen, and filled it up with floor cleaner and hot water, while grabbing a few hand towels and wash clothes. I set the bucket down on the floor and got on my knees, while dipping the wash clothes in the water, and begin to hand mop the floor.

-3 Hours Later-

"Amanda! I'm-" I hear my dad stop mid sentence, so I picked my hair up in a pony tail and head downstairs, and when he looks up at me. "Wow." He said in shocked and set his keys down on the counter top, while looking around the house and then looks back at me, and smiled? "It's been a long time since I've cleaned the house, and seen it this clean." He said.

"I-I also went out and got some groceries." I said and he walked over to the fridge, but when he opened it.

"How did you pay for this? I stopped giving you money, since your mom died." He asked me and then looked up at me.

"I've been saving it, so I spent like $300." I said and he closed the fridge.

"I'm going to take a shower, so if your principle comes before I get out, just have him wait in the living room, and get dinner ready." He said and went upstairs, so I grab his keys and hang them on the key holder by the door. I sigh in relief  and went back to my room.
