Bully Brother {Short Story}

Chapter 1

*2010*
[Lydia's POV]
After slamming my hand on the snooze button of my alarm clock for the final time this week because it's a Friday, I put on my outfit. I braced myself for another day of hell and walked down the stairs. I had the smallest amount of breakfast because I need to loose wait. I waited for my mum and my twin outside near the car. They walked out and got in the front. I climbed into the backseat and clicked my belt in. I unlocked my phone and started to text my friends Michael and Calum a.k.a Pika and Rice Boy. I told them that I would be at school in five minutes. Five minutes passed and my mother parked the car. My brother slammed the car door and walked into the school. I got out of the car at the same time as my mum.

"Hey mum. Have a great day teaching." I told her.

"Hi Lydia. You have a great day with your friends and your brother." She smiled.

"I will mum. Bye!" I said and ran into the school.

I went straight to my locker and put everything I didn't need away. Sadly, the locker that belonged to my bully was right next to mine. The right hand side of mine to be exact. I heard the locker open and saw him. My bully Luke Hemming. You might be upset or pleased to know that he in my older twin brother by 16 minutes. Thankfully he ignored me. I think it was because my two best friends were stood right behind me. I knew it was them because they had coffee breath.

"Here boys. Have a mint." I said turning around and giving them a breath mint.

They popped the small white mints in their mouths and said, "Thanks Lyds."

"I am going to assume that you didn't study for the maths test we have fourth period, the French test we have third period or the English test have second period so because we have free period first we are going to study in the library." I said and grabbed their forearms so I could drag them to the library.

I got out the appropriate books for them and gave the two the books. I didn't need to study so I left them to go and get something from the vending machine in the cafeteria. I put the correct amount of money in and pressed the buttons for my food. The bag of malteasers fell to the little collection bit with a small thud. I stuck my hand in and grabbed the packet of chocolates. I left the cafeteria and was about to enter the library when I was pinned up against the wall. I wasn't shocked or scared because I knew it was going to happen. Luckily for me, the sweets were in my locker so he couldn't take the mick out of me for them.

"Where do you think you're going bitch?" Luke spat.

"I was going into the library." I said quietly.

"Why? Do you have no friends?" He laughed evilly.

"I do." I whispered.

"Well they obviously don't care about you. They would be here to stick up for you!" He said and shoved me to the floor.

He kicked my ribs a few times and then my stomach. He picked me up again and started to punch me. He punched my cheek and as he did so, a single tear rolled down my cheek. He chucked me to the floor again and walked off to his next class like nothing had happened. I scrambled to my feet and ran to my locker. I opened it and grabbed my concealer. I had attached a mirror into my locker my first year here so I didn't have to go to the girl's bathroom. I applied the strong concealer to the visible bruises and a layer of mascara just because I can. I put the makeup back and closed my locker. I locked it and ran back to the library.

"Where did you go Lyd?" Cal asked.

"I went to the cafeteria to get a snack and then went to my locker to put some stuff away." I said.

"Okay cool." He said.

"Oi Mikey! Have you finished yet?" I asked him.

"Yes. Calum helped me and I helped him." He said.

"Good. Put the books back and let's get to English." I said.

After last period had finished, the boys and I met at my locker. I put my stuff away and got out my penny board and my backpack with all the crap I have to take home in. They had their boards so we decided to meet up at the park after dropping out stuff off. I texted my mum and told her what was happening. She texted me back saying it was fine and that there was some money for Luke and I to split. I took ten dollars out of the thirty and put it in my hoodie pocket. I grabbed my board and rode it to the park. I sat on the swings waiting for my best friends to arrive. During the ten minutes I was waiting, I started to think about my family. I never see Jack and Ben anymore, dad and Luke hate me, mum loves me a little and then there is me. The little fat slut who knows she is ugly and struggles with depression, anxiety and panic attacks. I don't know why Mikey and Cal are my friends. All I ever do is cause trouble. I wonder what would happen if I left everything and everyone to start a new life somewhere else. My thoughts were interrupted by my phone making a ping noise. I opened it and went to the text message application.

Hey Lyds, I can't come to the park. Family night according to my dad. Bye x

I closed his message chat with me and closed the app. Moments later, I got a notification telling me I had received a text from Calum. I went to our message chat so I could read the short paragraph.

From Puppy Cal😂🐶❤️
Hey Lydia! I am sorry that I didn't come to the park. My sister came all the way from her job in America to visit and my parents said I had to stay at home. Have a good night x

I locked my iPhone and grabbed my board. I skated back to my house and opened the door. Luke and my father were asleep so I could actually have some food. I went to the fridge and got the small bowl of fruit salad I made the other day. I got myself a portion in a paper bowl and got a plastic spork out. Then, I ate it slowly so I could savour the sweet taste of the fruits. After I had finished, I went upstairs and put on my pyjamas. This consisted of a black hoodie Luke gave me a few years ago with all of my brothers' signatures on it, a pair of black Nike trackie bottoms and a pair of fluffy socks I would probably take off in the middle of the night. I cuddled up to the massive penguin I had that matched Luke's and fell to sleep whilst thinking about the same things I was thinking about at the park.
