Like An Angel

Chapter 4

*Lily's POV*

BEEP BEEP BEEP!

I slam my hand in my clock to make it shut up, whilst doing my best attempt to roll out of bed. I HATE waking up so early!

Walking into Skye's room I hear Victor moving around, probably getting ready. He likes to take Skye to nursery because he doesn't trust me enough to take her. See this isn't the typical drunken slob abuse story. Others have it worse. At least he actually likes Skye, he's her pride and joy and nothing could change that. If he ever got so mad that he ended up hitting her too, the next day he would take her anywhere to make up for it. But me? He couldn't give a shit what happened to me because I wasn't one of his own. What a brilliant step-dad. Not!

"Giggles? Come on it's time to get up." She looks to cute when she sleeps. I give her a little nudge to get her to awake.

"Lilyyyy." I don't know how she has the energy to say my name in a sing song when she's only just woke up.

"Come on breakfasts ready."

"Ooo! I'm coming!" I stifle a laugh, anything for food.

*****

*BRINGGGGGGGGG*

Great! That's the first sign of hell. The warning bell echoes throughout the school, telling us we have five minutes to get to our first class. Music for me.

Just as I shut my locker door a head pops up from behind it, scaring the living day lights out of me!

Oh what did I do so wrong to have to face Tyler AGAIN!

"What do you want Tyler?"

"Hey calm down feisty, just want to say hi, now is that so wrong?" Him and his stupid smirks!

"Yes it is, because quite frankly I have to get to lesson!"

"Okay okay don't bite my head off! What lesson have you got?"

"Why?" God does he ever shut up!!

"You never know we might have it together."

"Yeah I doubt it because I have music."

"Hey what do you know so do I." His smirk gets bigger and bigger with each passing second. I roll my eyes to signal that I really don't like him.

"Come on I'll walk with you." He dropped his arm around my shoulders, making me flinch a little.

"Oh the joys. And you can forget about that." I say whilst pushing his arm off my shoulders.

As we reach music he does the most unexpected thing I have ever witnessed! He opened the door and offered me to go first! Like since when has Tyler done that for ANYONE!

I end up taking a seat at the back hopeful to sit by myself like always, but boy was I wrong, an annoying little dimwit just had to come over and sit next to me! Well I wouldn't call him little in literal terms but you get what I mean.

Just as Tyler was about to say something my teacher, Mrs Anderson started her lesson. Mrs Anderson is the only person other than Skye to hear me sing, and I know in music you're supposed to sing, but I never do with other people around. Mrs Anderson only allows me to do this because she thinks it's because of 'anxiety issues'. Which in all fairness isn't a complete lie, but I do take private lessons with Mrs A on a Wednesday or whenever we're both free.

I tried to concentrate in that lesson, I really did, but throughout the whole hour I felt eyes burning right through my head. What if he knows? What if he saw a faint bruise? All these questions swarmed my mind and made me so nervous. I know he doesn't know anything because I've covered all my bruises up, and the only one he's ever seen is on my belly but I think I made him believe me...
God I hate overthinking sometimes!

*BRINGGGGGGGGG*

As the bell rang I grabbed my bag and a few music sheets and rushed out the room as fast as I could, I couldn't stand his burning eyes any longer.

Reaching my locker I opened the door with a bit more force then necessary and took out my maths book, praying to the gods up there that this school day would just hurry up!

*****

Thank god!! I think to myself as the last bell of the day rings. I don't think I could have lasted much longer. Turns out me and Tyler have quite a few lessons together, obviously I hadn't noticed till now. All through AP Biology and English, I kept getting paper balls thrown at my head, all with a message on but I never read them, all though curiosity almost got the better of me, however I could tell it was pissing Tyler off so I ignored them and carried on taking notes.

Walking through the doors I take a left down the next road, on my way to Skye's nursery. I can't wait to see her again, she always cheers me up.

*****
"LILYYYYYYY!!!" There's that familiar voice I love.

"GIGGLESSS!!" I shout back, going along with the shouting.

She runs up to me with open arms so I scoop her up and hug her, forgetting about my school troubles or home tortures.

"How was nursery?" I ask her whilst putting her down but keeping hold of her hand to walk home with.

"It was great, there's this new boy and I really like him and I think he likes me too!" A huge smile etched on her face.

"Oh wow! Your gonna have your first boyfriend before me, and your only 5!" Oh how I love my sister sometimes...

"Hey, I'm almost 6!" That is true, her birthdays two months away and I still don't know what to get her.

"Yes it is, and you know what?"

"Whattt?" Curiosity lacing her answer.

"I've got a little something to surprise you with!"

"Really!!!"

"Yes but I can't tell you yet." I did have something in mind but I'd have to run it past Victor, because even though he despises me, he'll do anything for Skye.

A/N - I'M SO SORRY GUYS! I haven't updated in a while because I've been studying hard for my exams coming up so I haven't had time to write this. And this chapter is only a filler chapter so it's not as good as my others I don't think.

But anyway, thank you for reading my book so for it means a lot to me! Please feel free to message me or anything if you have any ideas or constructive criticism, it means a great deal to me. Don't be worried to tell me how it is.

BYEEEEEEE!!❤
