I knocked on Poppys door. When she answered I walked in and closed the door being me.
"What happened to you?" She questioned.
"Ryan, happened to me!" I exclaimed, "do you have any plasters here?"
"I'll check now."
I followed her into the kitchen, there was a mirror just above the sink, I hadn't actually seen how bad my face was. My cheek had started to bleed again and my lips just had a slit going through it. I was definetly going to have a few bruises in the morning, one had already started to show.
"Got one." Poppy said.
"Thankyou." I replied before taking it and putting it over the open part of my cheek.
"What did Ryan do?" Poppy asked.
"I spilt water on him and he was already in his temper so he smacked me across the face with a pool cue." I said, "then I kicked him in the stomach while he hit me."
"And now your both in trouble." she guessed.
"I'm guessing, I went out through the window and knocked my phone off."
"Wait, they don't know you're here."
"Ummm, no." I hesitantly replied.
"Well, don't you think you should ring them."
I pulled my phone out of my pocket and turned it on. It was on vibrate so I put it down on the counter, after it had finally stop vibrating, I checked it. Most of the phone calls came from about an hour ago. The messages were continuous though. Jody and Tyler had both rang me 10 times each and Mike and May-li had both rang me 15 times each. All of the voicemails said the same thing. Where are you and come back. The messages said the same too. Poppys mother was coming down the stairs, she was on the phone to someone, I only heard her say 'she's here'. I was guessing she was on the phone to Mike or May-li, but I didn't mention anything. We went up to Poppys room, she made me message Jody, to say I was with her.
"You'll get in less trouble if you just go back." Poppy said.
I didn't say nothing I knew she had a point.
"Have food with us and then I'll get my mother to take you home."
I replied, "Okay"
I messaged Jody like Poppy said because I would be in less trouble if they knew where I was. She replied to me straight away, I told Poppy what she told me. 
"She said that Mike and  May-li were going to report me as missing." I said, "So they know where I am now."
I didn't think about that. The only thing I had thought about before leaving was the amount of trouble I'd be in.
"Good." Poppy said as her two younger sisters walked into her room they started asking me why I had a plaster across my face, so that took my mind of what was going to happen when I went back.
"I fell." I gently replied.
The started talking to Poppy.
"Get out!" Poppy shouted at them.
They started trembling.
"Come here." I told them pulling them both up on to my lap.
"Someone has a soft spot for kids." Poppy laughed elbowing me, "you have to come and help me look after them Tuesday."
"Okay." I quickly replied I actually didn't mind looking after little kids, but living with them was completely different.
The time actually passed quite quickly. I put my hoodie back on as we approached the car. One word was going through my head 'trouble.' It was 9 ish so I knew the only people that would be up were Charlie, Alex, Ryan and maybe Jody and Tyler. As soon as I opened the door Tyler and Jody rushed down the stairs and Mike and May-li came out of the office. Poppys mother was behind me.
"She came to ours for a bit." Poppys mother told Mike.
They had a conversation for about 5 minutes, I just kind of awkwardly stood there.
After they left Mike said, "You go to bed, we'll deal with you and Ryan tomorrow."
I did as he said and followed Jody and Tyler upstairs, it took us about 10 minutes to tidy up my room. It would have taken me longer if Jody and Tyler didn't help. They didn't go into each others rooms, if they were going to get caught it would be today and  Mike and May-li weren't in the best moods. I knew that May-li would be checking in my room for the majority of the night to see if I was still there.
"You're in trouble tomorrow." Tyler said.
"Never." I sarcastically replied.
I pulled the plaster off my face that Poppy had given me and put it in the bin in the bathroom. I washed the dried blood from my cheek, it had finally stopped bleeding but it still looked deep. I passed Ryan on the way back to my room, I couldn't help but snigger when I saw him limping. Alex was with him so he moved Ryan away from me. I turned my head after they had walked passed me, Alex was intimidating Ryan's limp, he noticed that I saw him and winked at me. I hadn't slept for most of the night, but every time my door creaked open it was easy to pretend I was sleeping. I put music on and turned the volume on my phone down, so only I could hear it, I eventually fell asleep. My alarm clock started to ring, it seemed like it was ringing very early I just knocked it off and started to get dressed , after getting dressed and putting make up on to cover the bruises, I crept into Jodys room but she still wasn't awake, I didn't want to wake her up so I just went back to my room, I checked the time on my phone it said 01:30. Nobody would have been able to change the time on my phone and I knew I hadn't. The time in my alarm clock had probably changed after I chucked it against the wardrobe in my temper. My door opened again at 02:00 once I pretended to sleep, I actually fell asleep. Jody came in and woke me up again, I didn't have to change because I was already in normal clothes. We went downstairs, the only people that had seen me since I went yesterday were Alex, Ryan, Jody and Tyler. Nothing was mentioned about the fight because fights were normal it wasn't as if it was out of the ordinary. Ryan did start giving me dirty looks from across the table, he stopped after I kicked him though. I wasn't strong with my fists but I did have a powerful kick. After breakfast, Mike called me and Ryan into the office. He gave us both separate lectures, it was really hard not to yawn or start smirking. I had to cover my mouth during Ryan's so I didn't start laughing. After the lectures were over he moved on.
"Both of you are grounded for a week and neither of you are going on any trips for a month!" Mike exclaimed.
My face dropped, I looked at Ryan he seemed shocked as well.
"That's not fair." I argued, "I'm meant to be helping Poppy look after her sisters Tuesday!"
"And what about paintballing next week." Ryan said.
I looked to the side of me, Jody and Tyler were both crouched down by the side of the door making faces at me, I had to turn my head away from the door so I wouldn't start laughing at them.
"You two should have thought about that before fighting with each other." Mike replied to us.
I gave him a very sarcastic smile before saying, "Well we didn't know you'd be this harsh, it's not like we put each other in hospital is it."
"We should have taken both of you to the hospital yesterday." Mike started to say.
We both looked at him curiously.
"Well, Ryan if you kept complaining about your leg we'd have to see if she'd really done something and Jess if your cheek hadn't stopped bleeding we'd have to take you to the hospital to get stitches."
We both went quiet after complaining for about 5 minutes , we could actually see his point.
"I'll make a deal with you." Mike said.
"We're listening." Ryan chirped.
"If you two can both go one week without me or May-li having to speak to you, you can go to the last 3 trips but your not going bowling this week and your not going to Poppys."
"Deal!" I replied.
We both left the office Jody and Tyler had moved from the door and were out the kitchen doing the dishes. I jumped up on to the counter and finished doing the dishes with them.
"You going a week without getting into any trouble, you can barely go a day." Tyler said passing me a plate.
"I'll stay upstairs then." I replied, "nobody can annoy me up there."
They bothed shook their heads at me and laugh. After we finished doing the dishes me and Jody went into my room and Tyler went to get something from his. Jody had already gone to the top of my wardrobe, I was more concerned about where my Ipad was. I couldn't remember if I chucked it somewhere when I was in my temper. Tyler walked in, he had something in his hand. It was obvious Jody knew what it was because she started to blush when she saw it. I didn't pay any attention to it and just carried on looking for my Ipad. When I got up from under my bed. I looked up and Jody and Tyler were looking through the box, Jodys head was resting against Tylers shoulder. I jumped up on the top of the other wardrobe, my foot slipped of the door handle, I tried to grab the back of the wardrobe once my hand was on it, I kicked my foot to get it back on to the handle I failed and fell backwards my hands were still gripped too the back of the wardrobe so when I fell the wardrobe fell with me...
