The Beginning Of My End.

chapter 2

Edited by:the amazing sara salem                  Val's POV.

        I heard my mum whispering, I wasn't awake or maybe I was but I kinda had to pretend I was asleep "Valentina, Hey Val wake up, I opened my eyes to see my mum standing next to my bed, I really don't remember when I went to bed last night but what I can remember that I heard my phone ring next to me and I was so tired to answer. 
"Well , good morning sweety" she always has this things with curtains she likes to see the sunlight in the morning. she had to let the sunlight fill the room with its warmness and brightness.
"Good morning mum" I replied. I'm never a morning person and I can never function like a normal human being but something was wrong with her.

" what's wrong " I asked, rubbing my eyes.

"Nothing, why do you ask?  get up cause it's already late" she turned around to look for something, I guess it was her phone . I glimpsed a bruise on her cheek which she was hiding with a strand of her brown hair. Holy cow it's very big , how did that happen, "Mum What's that bruise on your cheek ?" I asked.

She looked at me with a weak smile and said hesitatingly " I just fell down". She can't lie, it's so obvious.

"Mum , please don't lie to me "

"I'm-uh...not lying," she began to tear up . Oh shit!

       I got up from my bed and hugged her, she sobbed in my arms. I was shocked, it's the first time I see her cry in front of someone.mum is a very sensitive person but she never cries in front of someone unless she's really hurt ..she hugged me tighter and said " I'll always protect you, you know that right ?, I love you Valentina"

"yeah mum I know, and I love you "I replied with a serious tone.

"Come on, go get ready, you're going to be late for school ! " she shut  the door behind her and I'm left alone.

      I opened my wardrobe and took out a pair of skinny jeans and a long sleeved light blue shirt, and I went to the bathroom to take a shower.

      I stood in there, looking in the mirror at myself waiting for the water to heat up and all I can see is an unlovable girl who needs a serious help! I stepped out of my clothes and forced        myself under the warm water, enjoying the hot steam as much as I can. Later, I dried my hair and was fully dressed. I went downstairs and said goodbye to my mother and stepped out of the house.

      I don't have a car, so I have to walk everyday to school. It doesn't bother me that much cause I consider it as daily workout.

I'm not ready to actually try and survive the school days but I manage not to give up on being strong enough to face those evil creatures they call "the popular gang"

      As always I make my way to my locker to pick up my books for the first class ,"the Valagost is here" ugh please I'm not going to listen to this, I had my face seeing the ground, I need to be invisible, their glares are ripping me.

      but I kept walking , hearing people calling me names and honestly it hur-"watch out how you walk " a voice shouted breaking my thoughts, I fell on the ground unintentionally hitting that person "Ouuuch" I moaned in pain.I gathered myself and stood on my feet but suddenly he pushed me to the wall, his strong hands were hurting my shoulders, and he was so close.I was scared to look at him, "didn't your parents tach you to apologize when you do something wrong ?" He said.

      My blood froze in my veins and I was silent "LOOK AT ME !!" He yelled this time, I felt the tears rush into my eyes but I fought them back, I don't know what was happening, I was frightened and I couldn't move but I raised my eyes to look at him and I regretted it. That's when I saw him, Aiden Young, the school jerk as I call him. He hated me, I never had the chance to be that close to him I could even feel his hot breath against my fac..-"answer me " he said so calmly but I could see the anger in his eyes.
