Innocent ; Brookyn Beckham

Chapter 1

Lola's POV

I awake as the sunlight drowns my room. Slowly trying to move, memories of last night flood into mind. Flinching at the thought, I try and stand up. It's impossible as I can hardly move. Lifting the hem of my top, revealing a deep purple bruise, I begin to cry.

Pulling my tee down, I gradually stand and walk towards the door. Right I need a shower.

-

Turning the water on, letting it run for a while to ensure its warm. I peel off my clothes, dropping them on the floor and step into the warm shower. I decide to wash my hair since it was strangled together with blood.

Getting out of the shower, I dried my body and got changed in to my horrible school uniform. A plain white blouse, clip on tie which is the colour of your house, black tights, black skirt which is meant to be at knee height, but nobody ever wears it there apart from some year sevens and people who have not got a social life. Finally, a blazer which is a dark rouge colour. Once I was dressed, I walked downstairs and grabbed a bowl of cereal, and the milk from the fridge.

With a full belly, walking to a mirror to face my appearance after yesterday's incident. Looking in the mirror, my left eye is swollen and black, where as my nose has a massive lump on the same side. I've looked worse. Realising the time, I grabbed my school bag and £3 off the counter. Closing the door I met my best friend Eve. Shes a year younger than me but we are really close. She's the only one who knows about my dad. And I need to keep it that way.

"Lola your face! What happened!" She gasped.

"Long story...."

"He did it to you again, didn't he?" Slowly nodding, she goes off on one of her rants.

"I swear if I ever see him, I will kick him in the balls! I probably won't because I am a scaredy cat. But oh well!" I started to chuckle at the thought of Eve kicking my dad.

"Shhh Eve, were nearly at the bus stop." Every one is glaring at me. I hate the way everyone stares, it's so rude, why can't the grope at something else?

-

We've arrived at school. On the bus journey I had a few people ask me what happened but I just ignored them.

The first bell went indicating for us to make our way to registration. I hate registration for several reasons.

1- Our tutor Miss Fletcher is so nosey, she always wants to know if something's wrong or why I have a swollen eye. It's none of her damn business.

2-Half of the people in my tutor hate me for no reason. I think it's because the popular girl called Lucy hates me, so if she hates someone you all have to follow. So that's why they hate me.

3-It's half an hour wasted on doing nothing.

I'm sure I could go on listing forever, there are just to many.

Taking my seat next to one of my only friends Molly, the staring begins again. Great.

The only person who didn't ask questions was Molly. I guess that's why she one of my best friends. She also sticks up for me and has a good punch.

"Lola, can I speak to you please?" Miss Fletcher spoke. She's so nosey.

I walked to the front and all eyes were on me, until Lucy started to sing during the attention to herself, with her terrible singing voice.

"What happened to your face?" She asks in almost a whisper.

Oh shit! What shall I say. I can't use I fell over, or opened a cupboard into my face, or I didn't catch a ball. I can't think of any more.

"I....I.....I fell down the stairs." I stuttered.

"But that happened last week to." Shit I forgot. What the hell shall I say.

"Ermm...errrrr."

"Is there something you want to tell me?"

"NO!" I shouted.

Once again all eyes on Lola, grabbing my bag I have had enough. I walk out of tutor with tears streaming down my face, not forgetting to slam the door behind me.

As I reach the end of the hall I hear Miss Fletcher screaming my name. To be honest I don't care anymore, I've had enough.

"LOLA ROSE PARKER, COME BACK HER NOW!" But I carried on.

"LOLA.......LOLA!" She carried on shouting.

When I turned amount I noticed she was right behind me. Whipping the tears away hoping she wouldn't see.

"What's got into you today? Now, answer my question, are you okay?"

"Yes!" I say turning my head to avoid eye contact.

"What are those marks on your neck Lola?"

Shit shit shit!

"Nothing, I'm okay now please leave me alone!" I say welcoming the tears.

"No Lola your coming to me to see the head teacher."

I can't lie to the head teacher but if I don't my dad will kill me, what the hell should I do?

What shall Lola do? Sorry I ended it on a bit of a cliff hanger. If your wondering when Brooklyn comes in you have to wait and see. He will be in it I promise.

Pleasee vote, thanks guys.
