The Mute With a Motive

For Better Or For Worse

I woke up and everyone was gone. Their beds were there and they were messed up. I jump up and run to the door. I grab the handle to open the door and twist. It won't move, I start to pound on the door, tears running from my eyes. I cry hard as i realize no one can hear me and contuine to pound on the door. "Taylor!" I hear someone say and I spin around. It was Bob.

Bob ran at me with a knife in his hand. There was something on the knife.......Blood! I turn to the door trying and failing to open It. He was about to me and I ran to the left. He followed and throw the knife and it grazed across my arm. Leaving a cut. I grab the knife and turn to him. I throw the knife back at his chest and he catchs it with no problem. He give me and evil grin and throws the knife. It was coming right at my chest when...........Liam came into the room, jumping in front of me. The knife strikes him right in the heart. He drops to the ground an says "Taylor get out of the house,"

I shot up, "Aaahhh!" I hear someone scream. I look around the room. Bay and Larry on either side of me. They both look terrified. "Taylor, are OK?" Larry asked. I nod and grab my white board. "Where is Ty at?" "He went to take a shower." Bay answers. "Oh by the way you only have an hour until school." Larry said. Crap! I get up and run out of their room into mine. I won't have time to shower, but I did take one last night. I go into the bathroom and plug in the curling iron. I walk back out into my room and grab some clothes and get dressed. I put on a pair of shorts because it was nice out and a red shirt that said 'Unpredictable'. I looked at all my bruises. They where all all worse then before. I run into the bathroom and quickly curl my hair. When I finish I put on a little make-up and walk out of my bathroom.

I stop dead in my tracks when I see Bob. His fist were in balls and he had anger and hate in his eyes. "Taylor you are pathetic, do you really need Ty to protect you?" He asked as he got closer. I shook my head and backed into the bathroom. Grabbing my curling iron, which was still hot, I hit him in the arm with it. He hold it and screams, taking it from me. He holds it in the air, as fear ran through my veins and showed in my eyes. He brought it down and struck me in the face with it. A burning sensation went through my cheek causing me to fall to the ground. He then kicks me in the stomach and throws the curling iron at my arm, causing me to wince in pain. "Taylor you should just leave. No one here likes you, and Ty can't protect you." He says and walks out the door.

I force myself to get up and go into the bathroom. I walk over to the mirror and look at the burn. It didnt hurt to bad anymore but it was very noticeable. I pull out my phone and text Ty to come into my room. I send the message and sit on my bed to look at my arm. The burn was like the one on my cheek. I then looked at my stomach to see the newly formed bruise. I hear someone and look up. Ty must have seen because his eyes go wide and he runs over to me. "Taylor are you ok?!" He asks when he gets to me. I nod and look at him. He grabs my chin and turns my head to the side to look at the burn. I pull my phone out and type, 'So what do I tell people?' and show it to him. He reads it and sighs. "Umm well I guess we can say that you joined boxing with me?" He said but it came out more like a question. I nodded and he said "We need to get to school."

I got up and followed Ty out the door to his car. Bay was in the passenger seat and Larry was in the back. I sat by Larry and saw that he had a black eye. He was looking out the window so I tapped his shoulder. He looked at me and his eyes went big. "What happend?" he said and ran his thumb over my burn causing me to flinch. I quickly type "Bob," on my phone and show him. "Ohh," he said. I pointed to his eye. He must have understood because he said "Same". He put his arm around me and pulled me close. I lean my head on his shoulder and look out the window thinking today would be great.

We got to school and Ty parked the car. I got out of the car and Larry walks up to me and flings his arm over my shoulder. We walk up to the school when I see Bobby talking to Jamie. Jamie never saw me but Bobby looked upset. Bobby looked over and I looked down at the ground so he wouldn't see me or my burn because he would call Liam. Larry and I have to walk right by them to get to our lockers. I look at the ground but I guess it wasn't good enough. "Taylor?" Bobby asks. I look up and Larry and I stop. He grabs my chin and moves my head to the side to look at the burn. "What happend to you face?" he looks at the burn and bruise on my arm and the down at the bruise on my shin. "Who did this to you!?" he says raising his voice. I look at the ground and try to avoid his question. Larry pulls me closer to him and startes to walk, taking me with him.

"Hey dude! Let her be!" Bobby says pushing Larry off of me. "She obviously doesn't want to answer so why don't you just leave her alone." Larry says calmly. "You little....." Bobby says and punches Larry in the face knocking him to the floor. Bobby drops down and hits him again and Larry doesnt even fight back he just sits there in pain and takes it. I grab Bobby and try to pull him off of Larry but instead he turns around and glares at me. "Taylor leave." he says and hits Larry again. I had had it by then. I tackled Bobby, pulling him off of Larry. "Taylor!" He says. I get up off the ground and then go to help Larry up. He was punched in the stomach once or twice so he wasn't walking right. I put his arm on my shoulder and put mine around his back. I shoot a glare at Bobby who was still on the ground and Larry and I went to the nurse.

The school day seemed to drag on but I was kind of glad because I really didn't want to go home to Bob. I didn't see Bobby at all either. Jamie said that he went home. She also said that he was mad because I was hanging out with Larry more then him. When the day ended I walked out to the parking lot and headed to Ty's car. Larry said there was something he had to ask the teacher before he left. I got to Ty's car but no one was there. I leaned up against the car and waited. I heared someone come up behind me causing me to jump and look to see who it was. It was Liam and Harry. I pushed my hair over the burn and turned to faced them fully. "Taylor Bobby called us." Harry said. "He said that you had bruises and and burns." Liam says walking closer to me. I looked down at the ground.

Liam grabbed my arms and held them out for him to see. "Taylor?' He then looked down at he bruise on my leg. "What happened?" Harry said. I looked up and the wind blew my hair back to expose the burn on my face. "Taylor?" Bay said and ran up to me with Larry behind him. "What's going on at your house." Harry said as he looked to see that Bay had a cut on his lip and Larry had a black eye. "Nothing." Ty said making us all look back at him. "We all just started boxing, and earlier Taylor fell down the stairs." Ty added. "Taylor is this true?" Liam asked. I looked down at the ground not wanting to lie to Liam and Harry. I looked back up at them and nodded my head. I then opened the door to the car and got in followed by Larry who pulled me into a hug. Bay got in the passenger seat and Ty got in the driver seat he pulled out of the parking lot quickly and we drove home in silence.

Liam's POV

Harry and I got back in the car. I didnt say anything to Harry but I knew Taylor was lying. I had a feeling that nothing good was happening at that house and all three of them knew it. I don't really know about Larry though because he doesn't even live there. I wish Taylor had already gotten my note. I would tell her myself but I can never get her alone for to long. Ugh why was her dad such an ass.
