Laura's pov
no one at school knew that Ashley Purdy was my dad. it didn't matter anyway because they would probably all hate me more if they knew. I didn't have any friends. at school, I was known as the emo that always has earphones in and a Sketchbook out. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't that bothered about having friends at school because I didn't really want to be there anyway. but one thing was, the bullies really go to me and upset me like hell.
I had art first which was good but because it was the only subject I liked and the only class that everyone left me alone in. I was walking down the corridor to my art class when I heard two boys in my year, Andrew and Robert, talking behind me.
"Oi, emo we've got something to show you" Andrew said as he grabbed my arm and started pulling me down to the lockers.
"can't you just fuck off and leave me alone for once" I shouted and pulled my arm back just before feeling a hand collide with my face and being pushed down onto the ground and kicked multiple times by both of them before I attempted to get back up. I pulled myself up and had to Hol back tears before I looked up and punched Andrew in the jaw before kicking Robert in the balls and running to the bathrooms.
I looked at myself in the mirror and saw that I had I burst lip and I had started getting a black eye. great, I thought, how am I going to explain this one to my dad. I broke down in tears and stayed in the bathrooms until the end of lunch before deciding to quickly redo my eyeliner and brush my hair before heading to my last class, and the first one I had been to today. it was maths and Andrew was in that class which was just great.
I walked into class just before the final bell rang and put my head down so no one would see my face. As I sat down I heard Andrew laugh before asking how my face was. I ignored him and put my earphones in which wasn't a good idea because I got sent out for going on my phone.
I walked out the room and stared at the ground until my teacher came out and started ranting at me about how many times she has told me before to keep my phone off in class or something like that, i wasn't really listening.
"Laura, look at me you are not even listening" she said and I looked up to see her jaw drop at the mess my face was in.
"what happened to your face? come on we have to get you too the nurse"
"miss, I'm fine really I just fell earlier today its fine"
"Laura Purdy stop lying to me this instant and tell me who hit you before I call the headmaster"
So I explained everything that had happened before getting sent to the school nurse and after ten minutes of her poking about my face she said that I could go and that my eye would be fine, luckily enough for me as soon as I left the bell went and I could go home.
now I had the bigger challenge of explaining what happened to my dad when I got back home, so until then I put my earphones in and let my music calm me down all the walk home. I as was walking up the drive I noticed all of BVBs cars which was great because now I was going to have to explain to all five of them what happened. I just hoped that they would be downstairs practising but I seen them all on the couches when i opened the door.
"hey babygirl" my dad shouted barely looking away from the TV. the rest of the guys got up and ran to give me a massive group Hug. Andy was the first one to actually look at me,
"SHIT Laura what the fuck happened to your face!?!" Andy half shouted and by this time my dad was already examining my face. I gave Andy a 'why did you mention it' look and he mouthed sorry. I think my dad already knew what had happened, it wasn't the first time, and he pulled me into a tight hug.
"I'm sorry baby, are you okay?" he pulled away and looked at me. I just nodded and hugged him again. the rest of the guys were really confused now so I explained to everyone exactly what had happened. They all looked at each other before my dad, Jake, Jinxx and Andy got up and walked out the house. I looked over to CC and he just laughed and said
"that kids dad is in serious trouble now"
I sighed and grabbed my phone out of my bag, scrolling through twitter and get a bit pissed off with all the bands posting about how excited they are for warped in a couple weeks. I really wanted to go. I just threw my phone onto the other couch which got a bit of a confused look from CC, he picked up my phone and instantly realized what was wrong, I had told him before he was like a big brother that you could tell anything too,
"you really want to go, huh?"
"yeah and I just don't want to be on my own for, like, a year, I hate being alone its shit"
"I'll try talking to your dad about it, the guys want you to come as well, especially Andy"
I just stared at him looking confused, what did he mean Andy wanted me to come, I admit that I had always had a bit of a thing for Andy but did he like me too? no that couldn't have been what CC meant.
"thanks Ceceeee, love you" I shouted as I jump hugged him.
he hugged me back and we just sat talking until the guys came back, looking way to happy with themselves.
"daaaad what did you do???"
"Its okay baby girl he won't touch you again and his parents say that they are Emm sorry well that's what they said after we had done screaming at them"
I just laughed and spent the rest of the night watching movies with the guys.
