INVISIBLE// CTH

Chapter four

~Lily's Pov~

I haven't talked to Calum since Monday. It's now Thursday. I've been trying to avoid him, I don't know why thought. I feel like he's a threat to me. I don't wanna get to close because the last time I got close to someone it ended really bad. Anyways it's 7:00 am and I'm getting ready for school, I decided to sleep in a little because it does not take me too long to get ready. I didn't take a shower because I took one last night so I just brushed through my hair and threw on a pair of black skinny jeans, my white v-neck, and my black high top converse. Then I brush my teeth and put on just a little bit of mascara and then get a text from Bella saying she's here. I rush downstairs saying bye to my mom just to notice she's passed out on the couch with a few beer bottles on the coffee table and a few in her lap. Great this is going to be a good day...

Once school is over I dread going home so I stay a bit longer. I'm walking through the halls until I see Drew, he's a sophomore and he always made fun of me. I tried to walk passed him while he was looking in his locker but with my luck I hear the locker door slam and there are footsteps behind me. He grabs ahold of my wrists and then slams me against the lockers. "Listen here whore, no one likes you so why are you even still alive?" Then he pushed me onto the ground and kicked me in the stomach a few times and then just walked off. I slowly get up because the pain in my stomach is too much for me to bare.

I look at my forearm and find two of my recent cuts bleeding and then I look at my wrist and see a small bruise forming. Just great. I sit up so I can get up and walk home to get out of this hell hole. Bella couldn't drive me home because she's with her boyfriend, isn't that just great.

Halfway home there is a playground and so I go to sit on the swings. A car stops in front of it and a recognizable face appears. Calum.

"Hey" he says.

"Hi"

We just sit there in awkward silence for about a minute.

"Are you okay?" Calum asks

"I'm fine, great actually." I smile to try and hide the fact that I'm actually the exact opposite of that right now.

"Oh, okay. Do you need a ride home?"

"No thanks, I'll just walk home."

"Come on please." Calum begged like a little kid and he looked so cute with his big brown eyes and what the hell am I saying. I need to stop, I can't like him.

"Okay fine, but can we please go anywhere but my house?" I ask because I do not wanna face my mother right now if she's even still home.

"Um okay yeah I know a great diner we can eat at!"

    With that said we walked to his car and he drive us to the diner which was just a few minutes away. Once we got there we got seated and the waitress came up to us to take our order and I only get a water because I'm not hungry.

"Are you sure you don't want anything to eat?"

"No I'm fine wth just a water, I had a big lunch today." Lie.

"Okay I would like a cheeseburger with a side of fries and a coke then please." Calum said to the waitress, which her chest was about to fall out of her tank top by the way.

Once he ate the whole thing he got the check and payed for it and the waitress gave him another piece of paper which writing on it and said call me and then winked at him. He crumbles it up and put it in his cup and her eyes widened and we just got up and walked out.

We both laugh so hard, that was probably the funniest thing I have seen in a while. I actually smile...

"You have a cute smile" Calum just blurts out and it makes me blush so I just look at my feet and ignore it.

"I should probably go home now." I told Calum so he would drive me home.

He stopped in front of my house and gave me a hug. I was shocked. I got out of the car and shut the door and walked into my house. I didn't see my mom until I walked upstairs.

"Hey bitch, why are you home so late? Probably fucking another guy right?" My mother said and i felt like I was on the verge of tears.

"No mom I just went out with a friend"

"Sure you did!" She said laughing "I don't believe it, you have no friends because no one fucking likes you! You little cunt, wonder why your dad left?! Oh yeah because of you!"

Tears started to role down my face.

"No he did not. Is because your fucking ass can't stop drinking!" I was mad, her blaming it on me! It's her fault!

Before I knew it she threw her glass beer bottle at my arm and I felt a sharp pain from the glass. I ran to my room and took the glass out and saw a bruise forming over it.

I deserve this. I'm such a fuck up. It's my fault, it's my fucking fault that everything bad happens. That's all I thought about and it was true.

I changed into pajamas and cleaned up the blood from the glass and just threw myself onto my bed and just sat there staring at the ceiling not knowing what was going to happen and scared of the future. I felt so numb I cried myself to sleep just to keep waking up in the middle of the night.

   I am sorry I haven't been writing lately, I didn't think anyone liked this story and so I kinda just gave up, but I guess I'll try to continue it. I'm sorry if I don't update as fast as y'all want me to but I'm just getting back into writing again so hopefully I can keep it up!
