Diana

Chapter 2

I ran to the bathroom crying with all the pasta and water all over me. I opened the door and ran to the sink trying to get the stain off with soap, but it just made my shirt wetter. I'm glad no one was in the bathroom to see me cry.

I gave up on my shirt and sat down on the floor with my back against the wall hugging my knees and crying. "What did I do to get picked on?" I said to myself. I decided to leave school and just head home.

I started to leave knowing I have left my back pack at the table. I groan and thought of what should I do. Should I just leave it there? Or run and grab my things? I decided to run so my mother won't ask me what happened to my stuff.

I looked at the door waiting for a good time to run. I look myself at the mirror and saw that my eyes were red and puffy from crying and my clothes are stained and wet from the water and pasta. I need to get out of here.

I started running out the door when I got stopped by Niall. "What happened to you?"

I just looked at him and try to get away but he grabbed me by the wrist. "Please answer me Diana."

"No Niall, please leave me alone." I said as my eyes are begging to fill with tears again.

"Let me help... Please"

I didn't wanted him to help, or get hurt because of me. I loosen the grip that he had on my wrist and ran without looking back.

-----------

Luckily for me, not that many people eat out side. I ran to the table and gathered my stuff and started to run again until I bumped into someone.

"Hey slow down what's the rush?" I looked up at him, he had brown hair with a little quiff and brown eyes. for some reason he's smiling at me.

"Uh.." I looked down an forgotten that I was covered in pasta and water. I looked up at him as he saw what happened to my clothes.

"What hap-" I ran before he can finish. I heard my name being called but I ignored it and ran straight home not caring if I miss classes.

-------------

I ran straight inside my house out of breath. My mom is still at work so I have the house to myself.

I went upstairs to take a quick shower and change into my pjs. I started to do homework for awhile until I hear the door opened and closed. It was barley 2:30, my mom doesn't come back from work until 7:00. I quietly opened my door and looked from the top of the stairs to see who was home. It was my dad.

"Diana! Where the fuck are you?!" He yelled making me jump. "I know you're here, your school called me saying you ditched!"

I was shaking knowing he would find me sooner or later. "I'm here dad." I said softly.

He looked up looking at me on the stairs. "Well aren't you gonna give me a hug?" He asked. I was confused but didn't wanted to get him mad. I went downstairs and walked over to him slowly to give him a hug.

He smelled like alcohol as I hugged him. Before I knew it my hair was getting pulled and I was getting pushed against the wall.

"Why the fuck did you skip shool?!" my dad yelled at me as he let go of my hair and grabbed my arms instead.

"I-I was getting bullied and decided to come home" I said.

"Don't give me a fucking excuse you piece of shit!" He slapped me across the face.

"But I-I'm not." He squeezed his grip on my arms tighter.

"How can you lie to your father?!" once again he slapped me on the same spot.

"I'm not lying dad." Tears started to build up in my eyes.

"You're going to go to you're room and you're not coming out." He tightens his grip. "understand?!" I nodded and ran upstairs.

I locked the door so he won't come bursting in my room. I sat on my bed and started crying. It was only 3:50, I hope he leaves so my mom won't have to deal with him.

I got up and looked in the mirror and saw that the grip he had on my arms had created a bruise and the slap across my face has left my cheek a bit puffy and a little bit of a bruise.

I have to hide this so no one can see. I decided to cover up my arms with a sweater and put some make up on my cheek.

I hear the door slam as I looked out my window and saw my dad leaving, I was glad so my mother doesn't have to deal with him.

----------------

I wanted to clear my mind and forget what has happened today so I go to the park I always go to.

I sat on the bench and fiddle with my thumbs trying to get everything out of my mind. But I couldn't, I grabbed my earphones and blasted music in my ears as I walked around the park.

I was looking at the ground the whole time not paying attention to the world until I felt someone tapped my shoulder which caused me to jump.

"Whoa sorry. Didn't mean to make you jump." The guy said.

"It's fine." I said still looking down.

"Diana?" He said. I looked up and saw it was Niall.
