¢нαρтєя 4- Only Silence

Diana's P.O.V

I was running. I could hear footsteps matching my own behind me that guaranteed I wasn't alone. I had company. Not the good kind. I felt hands grab me and push me down. It was too dark to see and I could only make out a dark silhouette. I saw something come crashing down on my head. Through the pressure of the object on my head I heard menacing laughter. Laughter I knew too well. It was him.

I jumped as I woke with a start, but realised there was something holding my head down. I tried to clear my blurry vision only to see an evil face grinning at me. " Well darling" he snarled, "quite the show you put up there trying to rat me out." I widened my eyes as the days events came crashing back to me.  "I-i-I'm s-s-sorry, I was feeling ill a-and my friends took me to the nurse but I didn't say anything about y-you." I managed to stutter.

It wasn't all a dream.. I was on my bedroom floor while his foot was putting pressure on my head.

He was about to say something but was cut off when the doorbell rang downstairs.  " Well I guess I have no choice but to forgive you for now. But be ready tonight.  Now get your ugly ass in the damn bathroom and clean yourself up before your friend gets in here. NOW!"

I got up and ran to my bathroom and heard my father go downstairs.  I looked in the mirror and realised I was crying and had a shoe print on my forehead.  I quickly washed my face and rubbed down on the place with the shoe mark before applying concealer to cover up my puffy eyes and red forehead.

"Diana?"  I recognised Hayden's voice through the door. "Coming" I replied smiling a fake smile in the mirror and walking out of the bathroom.

"Heyya Haydey!" I say chirpily as I walk out of my en-suite bathroom.he looks at me skeptically before he opens his mouth and closes it apparently not being able to find words to speak. "Heyya Haydey? Diana... Heyya Haydey? You bloody fainted and that's what you have to say? What the hell are you doing out of bed anyways? The nurse said you had a concussion. Didn't your dad tell you? You had Jaz and I so worried. It's not normal for a person to just faint-"

"Hay-"

"And your dad was worried too-"

"Hayden"

"We couldn't find your file at first because you rarely need the school to use it an-"

"Freakin shit Hayden shut up for a minute and calm the heck down!" I finally grasped his attention and he stopped talking and eyed me warily.

"Hayde I feel absolutely,positively fine. Stop looking at me like that... I'm not gonna eat you. Stop. Worrying. I'm fine. Seeeee?" I tell him while stretching the see. "Well I'm sorry for worrying about my besty... I mean it's not like you mean the world to me or anything" he says sarcastically while playfully rolling his eyes. I laugh and give him a hug.

"Speaking of besties where's Jaz?" I ask him. "Oh yeah she told me that she'll see you tomorrow because Ally was in hospital again" I furrowed my brows "Oh my flippin blueberry pancakes is she okay!?" I ask Hayden.

"I don't know Jasmine said the docs aren't saying anything... Anyways I have to go..my mom needs me home I just came to check on you real quick" I nod even though I really don't want him to leave as I think of what my dad was gonna do to me tonight. "Okay then.. I'll see you tomorrow at school.. Love you" I say as he walks out of the house "see ya Dydy, love you too".

I close the door and spin around on my heel... There's nobody at home and I'm left to wallow in my own miserable thoughts that are chewing on my mind like a termite on wood. There's me, my thoughts and only silence
