Simply Liz

Part 20

Once we got home i told jake to go home and put some ice on his eye because i knew he'd get a black eye, but the ice would help reduce the swelling. i had to go home to practice the dance for the GCSE exam in a few weeks so i got home and blasted the remix id made of all the songs i love to dance to. I had a song from my old ballet dance and a couple of hip hop songs that my dad had mixed all together as he used to be a Dj in some club, cant remember which one though so i spent the rest of the night practicing that before getting a shower, texting Jake to see if he was okay which he was and then after all that i finally went to sleep.

*A FEW WEEKS LATER*

Ahhhhhhh! Its monday and i have my dance exam! im pretty much shitting it. i woke up and went for a shower as usual picked out my studded shorts along with some nude tights a blue vest which read PUNK and my white high top converse along with my blue backpack with a daisy print. i went downstairs put my bag on the floor with my shoes and walked into the kitchen to find my little brother crying. i hugged him and asked him what was wrong, as i usually do when he's upset. but unlike every other time he just told me to go away. i crouched down next to him reaching out to give him a hug but he just pushed me away. at this point i kinda felt hurt, i know he's only young but you know,

"Whats wrong" i said sitting crossed legged infront of him, grabbing him and sitting him on my knee

"Nothing." He replied sharply standing up

"Tell me..."

"No!"

"Okay" i said making a fake crying face

"Sorry Liz, ill stop crying, I'm happy see!" he said falsely brightening up

"No you arent, come on"

"Im getting picked on... Emily says its bullying and so does mummy" he explained, Emily is one of my mums parent friends and Emily has a son called Jacob who is Jamies best friend,

"Mum!" I shouted so she came into the kitchen

"Dont tell her" he said pulling on my top

"Jamies being picked on so you tell Emily who then says it bullying? Thats gonna worry him more" i said after dragging my mum back to the living room leaving Jamie in the kitchen

"Im calling school today its gonna get sorted hunny" she explained

"Good or ill go speak to their stupid head teacher" i mumbled as i walked back into the kitchen

After giving my brother a quick peck on the forehead and a hug, i went and slipped on my shoes and slung my bag onto my back.

"Bye mum! " i shouted before leaving and locking eyes with Jake who stood with his back against a lamppost outside my house. i smiled at him as he sent me a cheeky grin as i shut the door as i walked next to him and locked hands with him.

*FIVE MINUTES BEFORE THE DANCE EXAM*

Me and Laura were getting changed for dance as i noticed some writing just above her coxic.

"Whats that?" I said pointing out the writing which id read by then and it said 'sometimes you just have to let things go..' with a cute balloon next to the writing.

"Tattoo" she said after slipping on her leotard and grey crop top. once we were ready we walked into the room. j was so scared and as i got in the gym i became dizzy, but i ignored it and i decided to perform first, get it over and done with. it was going amazing untill i went to do a spin and blacked out completely.
