Lizzies POV

I wanted to do nothing but stay in my room and cry. I hated the fact I now lived here, I taught Maddie would understand. But she doesn't. (Omg Lizzie just uploaded ahh) no one does. They'll think I'm looking for attention if I tell anyone my dad slapped me. I walked up to my mirror to expect the mark he left on my face. It was a purple colour. I tried to cover it with makeup but it was still obvious. I sat back down on my bed and as soon my my face hit my pillow I was passed out.

Awaken by the sound of my alarm and my dad getting ready for work, I decided to get dressed and make myself look presentable. I walked into my bathroom and washed my face. I got to my cheek and it hurt like hell. I forgot what had happened. I'll never look at my dad the same. How can I trust him? I had gotten dressed, tied my hair up, and tried to cover the purple mark on my face and went downstairs for breakfast. My dad gave me a look. "You could have tried harder to cover that up you know." He sassily said handing me a bowl of cereal. I pushed the bowl away and didn't say a word. "I'm goin." I grunted and walked out the door and waited for the bus. My bus stop was the town bus, then the bus stop with oli and Scott. It wasn't that far actually. (Idk English times from one place to another I'm Irish sorry ahhh pls spare me) before I knew it I was at the school bus stop. "Holy heck Lizzie did you fall in your face?" Scott laughed. I think he seen I don't take it as a joke. "I eh ran into a pole door thing." I lied threw my teeth. He could see but didn't question it. Oli on the other hand. "A pole door thing?" He repeated. "Yeah." I sighed. The bus came and went to my old stop. Joel sat in beside me. That's a first. "You okay?" He asked before even looking at me. "Hum, me?" I asked. He turned to me, his eyes widened. "Lizzie your fa-" I put my hand over his mouth before he could finish. "I ran into a fence." I said. "A fence? You told me a door poor thing!" Oli butted in. My fave went bright red. "Why do I even owe an explanation? Wow my face is sore big deal! Let's not question Lizzie today, what about we ask Scott and Chloe!" I splattered out of my mouth without even thinking. "What!" Joel furiously said. "It's not like that!" Scott stuttered on every word he said. Joel eyes him up and down. "It's not like that Joel, I just said it out of panic." I tried to cover for Scott and mouthed "you owe me." He winked back at me. "Oh now he's winking at Lizzie!" Yammy giggled. "What no!" Scott blushed. "Joel's getting jealous!" Callum cheered. I shouted for everyone to shut up! Getting everyone else's attention on the bus.

We finally got into school and I could hear people whispering about my purple cheek. I wasn't paying much attention really. I couldn't care less. This day is already starting off so shit. I just it to be over. Everything to be over. Just an end. There was way too much talk going around about me already. I didn't like it one bit. I didn't want people to know my dad slapped me. After I was finished at my locker I awkwardly walked threw the hall into the lunch hall to see my table whispering. They stopped when I walked over of course. They probably have there own little conspiracy theory about my face. I plopped down and sighed aloud. I launched down and went on my phone, everyone else talking. I completely zoned out just thinking about yesterday. He didn't even make me dinner. I didn't want to eat his food anyway. I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned to see Maddie. "Hey Liz- oh my god your face!" She stood shock. "Shut it what do you want!" I snapped not meaning to. "Sorry, I was just wondering if you wanted me to go to dads after-" I stopped her in her tracks. "There's no way I'm putting you threw what he was like with me, Maddie stay with mum. Tell her I can't go home on the weekends for a while until dad cops on." Maddie looked very confused. "But!" "No buts!" She squinted her eyes at me. "Is that ha hand mark?" She asked. My fave went red. "Talk to me outside now!" I stood up and directed Maddie outside. "Shut the hell up Maddie! It's nothing okay!" I snapped again. Now meaning to. "Did he do that to you?" She asked. I didn't answer and just sent Maddie to go to Chloe and help her with her locker. She didn't question me anymore and ran off to find Chloe. I walked back into the lunch hall and sat back down non gracefully. "Is Maddie okay?" Oli asked. I'm glad oli can notice when my sister is okay but when I'm not it's nothing. Sure I'm just Lizzie. That's all I am. Why am I even hanging out with these anymore. They don't care about me. No one does. Without a word I stood up and ran off. I didn't want to say something I would regret. I heard Joel shout my name but I chose to ignore him. I also heard him run after me but I just kept walking until I got to the bathroom. Looking in the mirror and inspecting my mark. It wasn't that noticeable was it? "It's about time someone slapped down sense into you!" A voice behind me said. I could only guess who it was. Leah. "Shut up I'm not in the mood!" I growl. "What, did you and Joel break up?" She whined. I wanted to just slap her but I couldn't. I smiled and nod until she went away. "What are you doing?" She asked. I didn't speak to her. Just keep smiling and nodding. She'll go away. And she did. About time. About five minuets to class I left the bathroom and got my bag, standing on my locker on my phone waiting for class to start. I seen I had one new message form Joel.

Joel 🖤

J: you okay?
L: in fine.
J: what happened
L: didn't you just hear me say I'm fine?! Jesus Joel! I'm fine. Stop thinking there's always drama.
J: geez, sorry. Just looking out for you... sorry for being a friend.
L: I don't need you to be a pity friend.
J: I'm not your pity friend Liz, I just wanted to make sure you're okay, sorry.
L: I'm fine.

I probably shouldn't have snapped at Joel the way I just did. I was in such a bad mood. I just wanted to go home. Not to my dads house. To my house. I already missed my mum. I wanted to go home. I made my way up to English and miss Laureate called me out of class. She had wanted to know what happened to my face. I used the fave excuse I had used on oli. The door pool thing. A fence wasn't that believable. "Which was it?" She asked. I replied with a "huh?" Letting her know I was lost in the conversation. "Pole or door?" I raised an eyebrow. "What did you run into." She said. I let out a big ohhhhh. Then told her I ran into a door and a pole so I didn't know which one left the bruise. She gave up on me just like everyone else and she let me back into the class room. Blah blah blah blah lunch is hear and I sit in silence whilst everyone around me talks. Dreading the taught of going home I started to cry to myself. Yammy noticed. Yammy and joel. I could see Joel wanted to know if I was okay hit was too scared to ask. I just nodded at the both of them.
