#63 Your child is upset about school

Niall's POV

It was around 3pm. Y/n was in the kitchen preparing the chicken and putting it in the oven while I was in the living room playing with our 1 year old son, Ethan. Our two daughters, 13 year old Aaliyah and 5 year old Isabelle are at school. Aaliyah picks Isabelle up and they walk home together.

"Dadda!" Ethan yelled and happily clapped his hands.
I smiled.
"Ethan!" I said mimicking him by clapping my hands making him giggle.
Y/n came into the room and smiled at us.
"How is my favourite boy today?" Y/n asked in a baby voice picking Ethan up.
"Hey! What about me?" I said standing up from the floor.
"You're my favourite man" She said cheekily and I chuckled.

The front door opened and Isabelle ran to us. However, Aaliyah didn't greet us she went straight upstairs and slammed her bedroom door which was unusual.
Y/n made a concerned face.
"I'll go talk to her" I mimed to her and she nodded.
"Did you have a good day at school princess?" I asked kissing her cheek.
"Yeah , look Daddy,  I drew this for you and mummy and Ethan and Aaliyah" she said showing me a picture.
"Wow! Why don't you go with mummy and your baby brother to stick it on the fridge why I go talk to Aaliyah" I said and she nodded.

****

I knocked on Aaliyah's bedroom door since I didn't really like invading her privacy. She didn't answer so I opened her door and saw her laying on her bed face down, and I knew that she was crying.

I closed the door behind me.
She turned her head a little and glanced at me as I walked over and sat on the bed next to where she laid.

"What's wrong baby?" I asked. She sat up and shook her head, crying harder.
I pulled her into me and she cried into my chest.
"You need to tell me what's wrong princess, so I can help" I pleaded.
"Daddy they hate me" she cried.
"Who baby? Who hates you?" I asked concerned.
"Everyone at school. T..they call me mean names and p..push me , can I stay home tomorrow" she said.
"Please" she pleaded.

"Princess I know you're upset about all this but we can fix it and avoiding school isn't the way to do that. You can't avoid school because you'll miss important things which you will need for your exams. I know they're only in 3 years but everything you do now in school counts towards them" I explained.
"B..But" She stuttered.
"No buts baby, you can't avoid school but I promise I will fix this, I'll let you stay home tomorrow and me and your mum will go in. But that's the only day you'll be missing. We will sort this" I told her.
She smiled slightly.
"I love you Dad, I don't know what I'd do without you" she whispered.
"I love you too princess" I said and kissed her cheek.
"More than you could ever imagine" I added.
