Making a Difference (sequel to PDA)

Ch.7: Making Another Bruise

~Albany~

I was in my room brushing my hair and putting makeup on to cover the marks that Andy left along my neck. I didn't want my parents to worry about. I heard a knock on my bedroom door and I saw my dad Liam enter in the room. He was wobbling around the room acting like it was no big deal about it. "Can we talk" My dad asked me while I helped him to the bed. My dad smiled at me a bit. "Thanks" Dad said to me. "I've been meaning to talk to you about what you did to Lilith and now Grace" Dad confessed to me and I sighed while fiddling with my hands. "Albany why in the world, would you do that to Lilith and Grace. I thought you would stop being a bully" Dad stated to me and I stood up from the seat I was sitting in. "I'm not a bully" I exclaimed to my dad and dad just shook his head at me. "You are being one with making fun of someone for how they look and not to mention you put me and your papa in a terrible position you know that" Dad said to me and I sighed because I knew I did. "I know but I didn't mean to" I replied to my father. "I know sweetie but maybe it's time to beg forgiveness from the Styles and to Grace. Please, it would be nice if my friends could be in the hospital when I gave birth to little baby boy" Dad smiled at me while rubbing his belly. "Come here Albany" Dad commanded me and put my hand on his belly. My little brother was kicking and I had a huge smile on my face. "Wow was I really like that" I asked my dad. "Yup, I had to be on bedrest for the rest of the trimester and let me tell you that was not pleasant at all" Dad complained to me while grabbing my hands to get up from the bed. I heard another knock on my door and my papa came into the room. "Did you talk to her" Papa asked Dad and Dad nodded his head. Papa kissed my forehead before leaving my room. I pulled my dad back into my room. "Dad, is it wrong for me to date" I asked Dad and Dad raised an eyebrow up at me. "Why, is it because you like someone" Dad wiggled his eyebrows and I rolled my eyes. "Albany I don't have a problem with you dating that's more of your papa thing. He doesn't want you hurt but I'll talk to your papa about dating" Dad kissed my forehead before walking out. I smiled to myself and my phone rang, it was Andy. "Hey babe" He greeted me. "Hey" I responded back to Andy. "So what are you wearing right now" Andy said and I rolled my eyes at how Andy was acting like. Andy had gotten more perverted since we've been together. "Just sweats" I stated to him. "Look Andy I see you at school okay" I hung up the phone before he could say anything. I drove to the Styles residence, I had to make everything right in the world. Dad was right about me putting him in the wrong situation with the Styles. I mean Harry and my dad went way back since high school. I rung the doorbell and I fiddled with my wrist a little bit. I had some black shades on and Harry answered the door and he folded his arms. "Um, hey Uncle Harry" I rubbed the back of my neck. "What are you doing here" Harry stated to me. "I want to make everything right with Lilith" I said to Harry while looking down at the ground. "It's a bit too late for that Albany" Harry glared at me. Cora nudged me out of the way. "Come on in Albany" Aunt Cora urged me into the house. Lilith came down the stairs and she stared at me. "What are you doing here" Lilith glared at me. "I never told you I was sorry about what I did. I knew that Safire had a big mouth and would spread that secret around the school. I shouldn't have told her anything" I ranted to Lilith and Lilith glare went away. "That's the first time that you are actually taking responsibility of what you did" Lilith told me while urging me to leave her house. I nodded and walked back to my car. I drove to the school and parked my car. I felt a hard grip on my arm pushing and dragging me into the school. He pressed me against the locker. It was Andy, I knew it had to be. He had this distinct smell. Whether that was a good thing or not that was yet to be determined. "Andy, stop you hurting" I begged him. He just glared at me. "You really shouldn't hang up on me. That's not what a girlfriend supposed to do" Andy sneered at me. I looked down at the ground. He pulled my head up. "You really are that upset that I hung up the phone. I had things to do. I couldn't stay on the phone with you forever" I snapped at him which caused Andy to be more angry with me. I was scared. All of sudden a fist came flying at my face. I felt blood drip from my nose. I clenched my nose. I rushed to the bathroom but I saw Lilith, her eyes were wide with shock. "Lilith" I said her name. "How long has this been going on" Lilith asked me and I just shook my head. "Can we talk about this later, I have a nose I need to take care of actually" I pushed her away and started cleaning my nose. I could hear Lilith sigh. "Here, let me help you" Lilith tilted my head and hold the tissue. "This is supposed to help the bleeding" Lilith gave me a small smile. The bleeding did stop and I was grateful. "So answer my question" Lilith crossed her arms and in that moment I could see my Aunt Cora in her.  "This was the first time" I told her and Lilith shook her head at me. The bell rang and Lilith rushed off to her class probably. I sighed and I just stared at myself in the mirror. Safire entered the bathroom. "Hey A" She greeted me with a smile on her face. "Um hey Safire" I greeted her. "You know if you want to keep Andy, you should work on your weight. I mean you are looking slightly chubby. I'm just trying to help you" Safire informed me leaving me all alone in the bathroom with just my thoughts. I stared at myself in the mirror before going into the toilet stall. I kneeled down in front of the toilet and I stuck two fingers down my throat and just like that the food came up from breakfast. I didn't want to gain any weight. I couldn't do that. I walked out of the bathroom and bumped into Grace. She looked so sad. I touched her shoulder. "Grace" I greeted her wondering why she wasn't in class. "What do you want Albany" Grace said with an icy tone in her voice. "I want to apologize. I wasn't nice to you and I should have been nicer" I apologized to her before walking to my class. I had a piece of chewing gum in my mouth.
