Not much actually happened between me and Alex, I just avoided him all day. Naomi eventually found out what happened between me and him, but she never found out what happened last night with my dad.
As soon as the last bell of the day rings, I head straight to my locker to put all my stuff away. Unfortunately for me, Alex is in my class and he sits at the front, I'm all the way at the back. He kept attempting to pass me notes during the lesson, I didn't read them I just passed them on, pretending that they weren't for me.
The bell finally rings, and the teacher dismisses us! I gather all my stuff and head towards the door. Once I step out of the room, I look around the hallway to see if Alex was near by, thankfully he wasn't. I start to walk towards my locker, which is the other side of the school the parking lot.
I reach my locker and place all of my stuff away, expect for the stuff that I need for my homework, then I shut the door and start to make my way to the parking lot. As I start to make my way, I pull out my phone and become oblivious to my surroundings. I slowly walk, scrolling through my notifications. I was about to text Naomi that I was on my way to my car, I bump into a hard chest and end up falling to the ground because of the impact.
I quickly panic, I really hope that it wasn't Alex!!
"I'm so sorry, I didn't see you!" The person starts to apologise. He reaches out a hand to help me up and I take it.
"No it's fine. I'm sorry I walked into you, I wasn't paying attention" I apologise as well and then look up into his beautiful blue eyes. I now know who I am talking to, and it's not just anyone, it's Brandon Taylor.
Brandon Taylor is the fittest guy at our school, he basically participates in every sport at this school, and he is the reason why our school is known for sports because we won in almost every single sport. He has blonde hair and bright beautiful blue eyes. He has a well built body and a really nice personalty. Most people wouldn't say that about him, but I do because me and him used to be really close friends when we were in primary school. Unfortunately, he is also known as Ashley' main guy, on and off again constantly.
"Emily?" He asks.
"Yeah, hi long time no speak!" I reply.
"Yeah been really long time" He smiles, "Listen we should catch up sometime, like maybe tomorrow at the park?".
"Yeah that sounds good!" I nod my head.
"Great I'll see you there" He says and then runs to catch up with his friends. I scan the room looking for my phone until I see it, on the other side of the hallway, next the person I was avoiding all day. Shit!!
Confidently, I walk behind him and bend down to grab my phone. I make a clean exit, until....
"Emily?" Alex says. I continue walking at a speed that I know that he can't keep up with. I immediately text Naomi to be at mine at around 5:30 pm.

I unlock the keys to my front door, then everything from last night hit me...with what my dad did. Fuck! What am I going to do? Should I pretend that it never happened? Should I talk to him? I honestly don't even know!
I walk through my house, I am immediately greeted by the fresh smell of alcohol. However there is no sign of my dad in the living room. I make a quick dash up the stairs to place my school stuff away.
As soon as I walk in my room, I notice that a few things have been moved around. I don't bother placing everything back the way it was, instead I go to find my dad.
I decide to go down to the living room to see if there was any notes or clues as to where he was. There was nothing, but I find even more shattered pieces of glass and what I think could be a little bit of blood. Okay now I'm starting to get worried!
I move onto the kitchen, nothing, in fact the kitchen looks untouched.
I walk up the stairs into my room to see if I missed any clues, still nothing. There is now only one room that he could be, if he even was in the house. I approach the door and gently knock on the door. No reply! I slowly open the door and enter the room.
Thankfully, my dad is in the room, but he's crying. He looks a bit odd! he usually never has a jumper on with his hood up.
I stood dead in my tracks not knowing what to do at this point, should I approach and speak with him, or let him be. I want to check if he is okay, but at this point I don't know if I should considering that he did punch me this morning...
I check the time because I do need to get prepared for Naomi to come; it's only 5, that should be enough time to get ready. Considering that I only need to clear up my room.
"Emily? Is that you?" he whispers to me. Shit he heard me.
"Yes, sorry I disturbed you!" I say quietly, trying to be gentle.
"No it's fine. Can you come here please, I need to talk to you!" He takes out his left hand and pats the side of the bed. I do as he says! However, I take my seat carefully, making sure there is enough distance between us.
All of a sudden, he pulls me into a hug, like it was the last hug that we will ever have.
Suddenly, I feel a sharp pain near my hip, I try gasping for air, but it was too hard. I suddenly feel pushed away from as the sharp object is taken out of my body. I lie back on the bed, shocked at what just happened.
I attempt to sit up, but my dad's hand pushes me back down.
"Shush, it's okay baby girl, just lie here, it'll be over soon!" he speaks. However, his voice sounds different, so unfamiliar. I lift my head up with great strength and see his bloodshot eyes, staring at me.
I notice the way he smelled as he whispered in my ear, he has a strong smell of alcohol on him. No wonder!
I start to breath heavily, gasping for air. I lay my head back down on the bed. My dad leans forward into my ear.
"I'm going out, if you dare to call the cops, or to tell anyone then some bad things will happen to you!" He whispers. He pushes himself up and walks out the door.
What a lovely way to start a Monday!

Naomi's POV
I knock on Emily's front door, no answer. I pull out my phone and call her, at first she didn't pick up but after a few rings she picks up.
"Hello?" I ask.
I don't hear her speaking, all I hear is heavy breathing.
"Hello? Are you ok?" I try asking her again.
"Let....yourself....in.." She says in between breathes. I hang up as soon as I open the door.
I quickly run up the stairs and follow the sound of heavy breathing. I walk into a room where I find Emily on the bed, with blood surrounded her. She looks pale, like she passed out, but she is still breathing, very heavy.
I take out my phone and call the ambulance.
