Diana's POV 

I blinked rapidly and slowly sat up in my scratchy bed. It was light outside but I could hardly tell for sure as the thick black curtains kept out any view of the outside world. "Diana Louise Clark! Get up this instant!" My father screamed, slamming a door. "C-Coming daddy." I stuttered, climbing out of bed. My legs were weak and numb. I was uncomfortably skinny but my dad didn't care. "Get up NOW Diana or I'll get you up!" He thundered. I quickly scrambled down the hall to my fathers bedroom. "You are alive then princess." He snickered. I weakly smiled and he stood up, towering over me-so fragile and small. "Sarah's coming today as I'm going away on business again." He said, moving closer. "Give your dad a morning kiss." He said, cupping my cheek. "I-I haven't cleaned my teeth yet." I said, hoping he'd let me go. "We're all out of toothpaste." The monster smirked. I opened my mouth to speak however no words came out. My dad took this as an oppertunity to kiss me. He forced his plump, lips onto my own. He forced his tongue dwn my throat. Giving me the urge to be sick. He roughly moved his head against my own so he had easier accsess to my already sore mouth. He grunted loudly so I forced myself to roughly kiss him back. When he pulled away we were both breathing heavily. "Good girl Di, I just can't wait till you're legal." He winked before going downstairs. "I'm leaving now! I'll be back a week today!" He called up the stairs. He's going away for a whole week...this means I get a whole week to be free. A whole week free of beatings. 

I smiled to myself as I heard the front door shut and the car drive away. Clumsily, I ran to my bedroom and opened my battered wardrobe. I put on my best jeans, a white vest top and a grey over-sized jumper. I combed through my knotty hair and threw it up in a ponytail. Next I sprayed some of my dad's 'Lynx' and opened up my makeup bag. I applied a shed load of makeup and once everything that needed to be covered was covered up and I was happy with my appearance I slipped on some socks and my ankle boots and headed downstairs. 

As I sat and waited for Sarah to arrive I took my phone out of my bag and opened up Twitter. My iPhone 3G was a gift from Sarah. My father knew nothing about it as I kept it hidden. She said it was for being so brave with everything that's happened and is happening in my life. I told no-one but Sarah about my dad. Mainly because she was the only person I knew but also because I trusted her. I had no friends so I didn't bother with making a Facebook account so instead Sarah helped me make a Twitter. 

~Flashback~ 

"Phoebe if you won't let me make you a Facebook at least let me make you a Twitter?!" She begged me. "Fine." I sighed, giving in. She downloaded the app on my new phone and opened it up. She made me account. My username was: @Dianaa01_C: It was all Sarah's idea as I had no idea what Twitter even was. I only knew what Sarah told me. "Done! You have to follow One Direction and all the band members!" She squealed. Honestly, sometimes you wouldn't think she was actually four years older than me. "Why do you insist?" I groaned. "They are all so cute! I have a soft spot for Louis! Gosh child, I need to educate you!" She said, exasperated. "You already do educate me." I said in a 'duh' tone. "No, I need to educate you about the boys." She said. I stared at her, confused. "One Direction." She said with a bored tone. "Knock yourself out." I said. She then followed all the boys on my Twitter and downloaded the YouTube app. 

The rest of the day consisted of Sarah educating me to know everything about One Direction and sucssessfully she turned me into a fan. I fell in love with their first album 'Up All Night'. 

~End of Flashback~ 

Over that year I had grown to love One Direction more and more. I was constantly on Twitter when my dad wasn't around. When Sarah was at home I would be texting me and she would be forever asking me if I've stayed updated with One Direction. Later on this year they are releasing their second album which is said to be called 'Take Me Home'. That's right, the year is only 2012 if you couldn't of already guessed. The band had already released the music video to a song called 'Kiss You' which is one of the songs of 'Take Me Home'. I had to watch it on YouTube as my dad smashed our TV up but I didn't mind. I never watched TV anyway, so to me it really made no difference. Having a phone for almost a year made such a big difference to my lifestyle. A good difference. I could now easily stay in contact with Sarah. She was more like a sister to me than a teacher but she was also very clever, as well as childish. But hey, each to their own. My favourite member of the band was Niall as he just seemed like such a nice person and he was quite the looker, which was a big bonus.

I was snapped out of my thoughts about the band and Niall when the doorbell rang. I shoved my phone and purse in my bag and jumped up to get the door. When I saw Sarah I immediately pulled her into a tight hug. "Hey!" I exclaimed. "Hey chick, how are you?" She asked me. "Same old. I didn't get a beating this morning as dad had to go on 'business'." I said using air quotes. "Great news! One Direction are doing a tour in July and one of the stops is Mullingar. They're only going around the UK and Ireland. I've spoke to a couple of my 'friends' and they're willing to take care of your dad for a week so I can take you to their concert!" She screamed. I stood there, not moving. "Di?" Sarah asked, worried. I suddenly blinked and screamed my broken heart out. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" I screamed, jumping up and down. Then I stopped. "What's wrong?" She asked. "I'll never be able to pay you back for any of the stuff you've bought for me Sarah." I said. "Hey, look at me missy. You owe me nothing. I'm treating you like the sister I never had, the best friend I don't need and the daughter I don't want." She giggled. "Sarah, thank you. For everything. You have brought out the part of happiness in the hell I live in." I said, smiling. "You're so very welcome sweetie. Now, let's go. We have some major shopping to do to find an outfit for next month." She said, taking my hand and leading me out the house.

She drove us to the shopping centre and after we parked the car we ran into the shopping centre. The first shop we entered was 'Claires' as Sarah insisted on buying One Direction jewellery to wear. We bought tons of jewellery, and some One Direction body tattoos. After 'Claires' we moved onto 'Monsoon'. In there I bought a white 'NIALL'S CRAZY MOFO' font tank top, a pair of white American flag shorts, and a new phone case. After we'd finished up in 'Monsoon' we headed over to 'Office' to buy some new shoes. As I was browsing Sarah came up to me and smirked. "Just to let you know I've already bought the tickets and we're going VIP." She said as if it was the most normal thing. "V-VIP?" I blinked rapidly. "Yeah, I know you deserve something good in life so why not let you meet your future husband." She shrugged. "He doesn't even know I exist. I'm just another broken fan." I mumbled. "Don't you dare start thinkinh like that. You deserve all of this. Kid, the concert's in three weeks. Now, choose some shoes so we can go back to my place and browse the internet for cute hairstyles." She said before skipping over to the 'Converse' section. I headed over to the 'Supra' section and stopped browsing when I came across a pair of jet black 'Supra Vaider's'. I noticed Sarah had also found some shoes so we went up to the counter and she bought the shoes.

After shoe shopping we headed into one last shop. It was a bag store called 'Diva'. Inside there was a huge selection of bags but my eyes landed on something almost immediately; a green and white, round shoulder bag. It was the perfect sized bag to take to a concert. I rushed over and luckily picked up the last bag. Clutching the bag tightly I waited for Sarah to choose a bag so we could pay. When she did eventually pay we headed off bag to the car park to go back to her house. "Sarah, I've left my phone charger at home." I said. "I have loads at home." She shook it off. I nodded and wathced the road ahead of me as we droe back to Sarah's apartment where I would stay the night.
