The Lost Light (Liam Payne)

2. The notebook

Even when I try to escape, he'll always find me. Even when I try to be as quiet as I can,he always finds my hiding place. He throws me to the floor and starts shouting at me. Blaming me again about his bad life. He hits me again but harder than last time. I cry and cry and cry... "Daddy stop. I your child you can't do that to me. Daddy I'm your girl. Daddy stop hurting me!" I scream but it doesn't help.He puts out a knife from his pocket and puts it in my heart. "That's what you get when daddy's girl doesn't behave." He whispered.

"NOOOOOOO!!!!" I shouted and opened my eyes. It was a nightmare. My whole body was in sweat. I looked at the time. Still 30 minutes before I was meant to wake up. I decided to take a little shower. I dried my hair and curled it. When I changed to a sweater and a skirt I went to the empty kitchen. Should I eat something? Maybe I'll skip breakfeast this time. Many things have changed since dad died. But maybe it's good. Or is it? I still feel the pain he used to give me. I took a glass of water and then mom entered to the kitchen. "Cara I can drive you to school. You don't have to walk." I nodded and went to get my bag. Mom seemed to be ready so we got in the car and she drove me to school.

Without thanking or anything I got off the car. And walked inside and sat on a chair, patiently waiting for classes to start. I still had plenty of time so I took my little notebook and pen. I started writing a song. Soon I heard some talking a little bit away from me. "Hey guys look! It's the new girl." Said a voice of a boy. Please don't do the same like they did to me in Birmingham. I didn't look at them just continued what I ws doing. Then one of the boys took my notebook and started reading it. "Please give it back to me." I asked but they didn't even listen to me. "Boys listen to this: My song tells all my secrets. Every night I've waisted time and written it...! What a miserable song you have here." They made fun of me and when they started tearing the pages I almost started crying. My whole life was written in those papers and they just... "Hey what the fuck are you doing?!" I heard as someone said. I turned around and I got schocked. It was Liam. What am I going to do now? Ally and Jen said that he is dangerous. He'll propably beat the shit out of me. He walked close to me and stared at my eyes. "What did they do to you?" He asked and but I couldn't answer. I was scared. Then he turned away and hit the boy right on the face. The one that stole my notebook. "When she says give it back to her you fucking give it back to her OK?!" He shouted. Soon he got a kick too. Then the oher boys teared them apart. I noticed that Liam's nose was bleading. "Let go I'm done!" The other boy shouted. The boys left so I picked the papers and there were tears in my eyes. "Let me help you." I heard a familiar voice. I looked up and saw it was Liam. He helped me and we both sat on the chairs. "Thank you and I'm sorry." I said quietly. He looked into my eyes and answered: "No need to apologize. You seem to be new here. I haven't seen you before." I just nodded."What's your name?" He asked me. "I'm Cara." "Are you crying?Did they hurt you?" He noticed my tears but I quickly wiped them away. "No I'm ok don't worry about me." I could smell the smoke. After just sitting there I saw Ally and Jen walking towards me. I stood up and thanked Liam again and then left. "OMG Cara what were you doing next to Liam? Are you ok? Have you cried?" They both asked me questions. I told them what happened and they were shocked too. Then they just looked at each other and smiled like weirdos. "Why are you smiling like that?" I asked them. Then they told me that a month ago when the others were bullying a girl Liam joined too like he always does. They explained that he might have something good in his mind because he fought for me. I understood what they tried to tell but I didn't think it would be true. I mean why would he like a looser like me?

First lesson was math and like always I didn't understand anything. I didn't even want to. After some lessons it was time for lounch. We sat on a small table and Ally asked if I wanted to go watch a movie with them. I agreed. We decided to go on this Friday which meant tomorrow at six. I looked out of the window and noticed Liam smoking with his friends. He looked angry and aggressive...
