Befriending A Bully

HAYLEY POV:
"HAYLEY GET YOUR BUTT OUT OF BED WE'RE GOING TO BE LATE," Tyler shouted as he ran into my room. Not again. I picked my phone up to see what time it was and it wasn't even seven yet. "I'm going to kill you if you do that again," I muttered as I climbed out of bed and went to my dresser for clothes. Leo jumped off of my bed and slowly walked to the door of my room and pushed it open. I watched as he walked out and started smelling the floor whilst he walked towards Zane's room. I thought nothing of it and went to the bathroom to take a shower seeing as though I still have an hour and a half to get ready and be at school.

I got dressed and brushed my teeth so all I have to do is dry my hair and have something to eat. I went back to my room gently rubbing my hair with the towel to dry the majority of the water, on my way down the hallway I could smell pancakes. "HAYLEY DO YOU WANT PANCAKES?" Amber screamed from the bottom of the staircase, it's as though she can read my mind. But, Zane hates frying foods so he won't make them, Tyler's selfish when it comes to food and doesn't cook anything for others, and Amber doesn't know how to make the mix for them and refuses to buy a ready made kit. "Sure, who's cooking?" I responded completely forgetting Lucas was at our house. "Luke is, I'll go ask him to make you some," she chirped with happiness coating her voice. I noticed she called him Luke and not Lucas which confused me to start with because Aria held a lighter to my arm after she heard Tyler call him that; but for some reason I was blamed for something I didn't do and now I'm scarred from it as the burn was on my forearm and it makes me look like I harmed myself when I didn't. I went back to my room and plugged in both my hair dryer and my straighteners so I could actually do something with my hair.

"Hayley! Want me to take Leo for a walk?" Tyler called up the stairs just before I was about to go down the staircase. "No thanks nerd. I'll do it but you can come with if you wanna" I replied as I jogged down the stairs trying not to fall over. Walking through to the kitchen, I heard laughing from the kitchen so I waited in the hallway where they wouldn't see me. After a minute or so they stopped laughing and I walked in to see Zane sitting on the counter next to the fridge, Lucas stood leaning on the counter in the corner which was next to the stove, and Amber was sat at the island in the middle of the room. "Morning Hay," Lucas welcomed, I smiled in response walking over to the fridge to get a can of Dr Pepper. Lucas handed me a plate of pancakes so I thanked him before sitting next to Amber and checking the time on my phone, an hour and five minutes. I finished eating and thanked Lucas again before grabbing Leo's leash from my room and connecting it to his collar and running out of the house. I realised Tyler wanted to come so I rushed back into the house, "TYLER ARE YOU COMING WITH OR STAYING HERE?" He came down the stairs sounding like a heard of elephants charging at the door. "I wanna come with," he said as he was putting his Nike trainers on. Once he was ready he took Leo's leash out of my hand and sprinted down the street towards the field.

Sprinting after them, I tripped over a stick and fell on my face and heard Tyler laugh and start to walk back with Leo. I felt something run down my face from my nose and my eyebrow. "Oh crap, Hayley you're bleeding," Tyler stated as he crouched down so he was my level; I put my hand to my face lightly to feel where the blood was coming from but as I did, I felt a sharp pain in my eyebrow. It felt like I'd been impaled by something, "can you pass me your phone please?" I requested as Tyler pulled his phone out of his pocket and handed it to me. I opened the camera app and held the phone so I could see the cut and noticed something shine as I moved my face. "It's glass, great" I sighed as I picked myself up off the ground and tried pulling the glass out of my face. "Hay, go back to the house and get Zane to help you. I'll finish walking Leo and I'll bring you a Costa or Starbucks or something like that," Tyler told me and pulled me into a hug be cautious not to get blood all over him. I nodded and started walking back to the house, luckily we were only two minutes away as we sprinted down the street. "ZANE, GET YOUR BUTT IN OUR BATHROOM I NEED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING" I exclaimed walking through the house to our bathroom. I got the medical kit out when I got there so it saved us messing about to find it and I sat on the counter next to the sink. When he walked in his jaw dropped and pulled a face as to say 'explain.'

I told him what happened as he was treating my eyebrow and my nose to stop the bleeding but when he was done he noticed blood on the left of my t-shirt. I looked at my arm to see if there was a cut or anything, and I noticed an inch deep cut, that went from an inch above my inner elbow to just under my shoulder. Zane pulled my arm gently so he could help treat it; we heard the front door open and close which meant Tyler was home so we ignored it but then he came into the room we were in with a can of Pepsi in his hand. "Holy crap Hayley," Tyler whisper-shouted and I just looked at him as I felt a needle and thread go through my skin. I winced in pain but tried to keep my arm in place so Zane could finish. Tyler was sat on the edge of the bath drinking his Pepsi as he was watching Zane stitch my arm up with at least fifteen stitches. Once Zane finished, he wrapped a bandage around it to make sure no dirt got into it and he wrote on his board "Change the bandage every four hours," I nodded and jumped off the counter and then he left.
