Abused

Chapter 5

Liz’s POV:

I woke up at 6:30 thanks to my alarm. I got up carefully since my bruises hurt. I took a quick shower and put on a black long-sleeve shirt with my black leather pants and my black combat boots. I’m not the kind of girl to dress like a gothic chick or anything but this outfit perfectly covered my bruises. I thanked god that I didn’t have any bruises on my face or else I’d probably waste my concealer, I put on some mascara and eyeliner and made my way downstairs. I checked the time and it was 7:00 so I still had time since Justin picks me up at 7:20, I served myself a bowl of cereal and started eating it. I washed my dish and spoon and headed upstairs slowly because of the bruises, I pass by my parents’ room and I don’t hear any sound so I guess they went to work already. I went into my room and brushed my teeth, grabbed my backpack and cellphone, and went downstairs slowly. I went outside and locked the door, I sat down in my house’s stairs and waited for Justin. After 3 minutes he pulled up on my driveway and got out of the car and walked over to me, I got up carefully and tried not to frown because of the pain I had. When he reached me pulled me into a tight hug and I made a gasp noise because of the ache I had as he hugged me tight. As soon as I gasped he pulled away and frowned.

Justin: What’s wrong? Did I hurt you? – he asked worried-

Liz: No I’m fine – I said as I put a fake smile on my face-

Justin’s frown deepened, he knew I was lying, he was my bestfriend of course he knew I was lying but he let it go and he walked me over to his car and I got in. We headed to the school, when we got there he opened the door for me and I got out carefully. We walked together holding hands towards the school, we went to my locker and Justin finally spoke.

Justin: I know something’s wrong with you... but I’ll let it go for now. We’ll talk about it after school okay? – he said softly and a frown-

Liz: – I nodded- Thanks Jus – I muttered-

Justin: Don’t thank me babe it’s the least I could do after how I acted yesterday in the morning – he said with a small smile-

Liz: – I closed my locker and grabbed his hand- Jus I just want you to know I love you with all my heart and that’s not changing anytime soon – I said softly and smiled at him-

Jus: I have been dying for you to tell me that you love me, I want you to know I love you too and my love isn’t going anywhere – he said softly and leaned down to kiss me softly and with love-

The bell rang so we separated and walked, holding hands, to our class. We sat in our normal seats but he was a little hesitant to let me go sit next to Niall. I smiled at Niall as I sat in my seat next to the window, he smiled back showing his pearly white teeth and his dimple. 

Liz: Aww you have a dimple – I said pointing at his dimple-

Niall: – he started blushing and chuckled nervously- Yeahh 

The teacher came in and started teaching us about history and stuff, the bell rang and thankfully the teacher, Mr. Lopez, didn’t give us homework. I got out of the classroom and said bye to Niall since he was still putting his stuff in his backpack. I walked out of the classroom and I see Justin waiting for me at my locker, I walked over to him and smiled, he smiled back and gave me a quick kiss on the lips, I opened my locker and put in the stuff I didn’t need and got out the stuff I needed for the next 3 classes, I closed my locker and started walking away from my locker. Suddenly someone grabs me by my arm and turns me around, I flinch back and grab my arm because it starts hurting real bad even though the person grabbed me softly, I look up at the person and it’s Justin and he has a deep frown on his face.

Justin: Liz.? – he asks waiting for me to tell him something-

Liz: Yeah.? – I asked nervously-

Justin: – he grabbed my arm quickly but softly and lifted up my sleeve, he quickly pulled my sleeve back down and hugged me- Who did this to you.? Was it Niall.? I’m gonna go beat his ass up right now – he said and started walking away but I grabbed his arm quickly and tried to pull him back-

Liz: Stop Justin....it wasn’t Niall...it was.. – I said but I couldn’t speak no more because my eyes started to get watery so I just turned around and basically ran to the girls bathroom, or at least attempted to since Justin caught up to me and pulled me into a hug-

Justin: Liz you don’t need to tell me right now...just go to class and after school we’ll talk about it Ikay.? – he asked letting go of me and giving me a warm smile-

Liz: – I just nodded lightly- Thanks Jus – I muttered-

Justin: C’mon get to class babe – he said and kissed me softly on the lips-

I turned around and walked to my class. After 3 long boring classes I came into the cafeteria and everyone was staring at me, I guess they saw the incident. I walked to where Niall was sitting and sat down with him.

Niall: Hey...guess everyone saw what happened in the morning – he said smiling softly-

Liz: Guess so – I said and let out a frustrated sigh-

Niall: Did he really make you cry.? – he asked  curiously about Justin-

Liz: No...it wasn’t him, it was an issue I didn’t wanna remember – I said unsurely-

Niall: Oh... well you wanna eat.? – he asked cheerfully-

Liz: Nah I’m not hungry – I said then smiled-

Niall: Oh c’mon yo- -he started to say but was cut off by Justin-

Justin: Hey babe – he said and sat next to me and gave me a quick kiss-

Liz: Hey.. well Justin this is Niall, a friend...Niall this is Justin, my boyfriend – I awkwardly said-

Niall: – he put his hand out for Justin to shake and Justin hesitantly shook it- Nice to meet you mate – Niall said with his cute Irish accent-

Justin: Nice to meet you – said my Canadian baby-

Niall: Well I'm going buy lunch. Kim what do you want.? – he asked raising his eyebrows questioningly-

Liz: Niall I already told you I’m not hungry – I said rolling my eyes-

Jus: Oh c’mon babe you have to eat something – he said and looked a me with concern-

Liz: No than- - I was cut off rudely-

Jus: Lets go buy lunch Niall – he said and they both got up and walked to the cafeteria line-
