Broken

Chapter four

Sophia's POV

I didn't go school last week at all , I stayed at home. I just wasn't strong enough to face anyone today. I phoned the school and said I had chicken pocks and they believed me , but today is the day I'm gonna be reunited with the people who hate me and I know I'm not ready but I can't hind in my bedroom for the rest of the year.

I walk through the front door , and re fix my scarf so you can't see the bruises from Luke's hands. I walk to my locker and drop off all the crap stuff I don't need in my bag. I check my timetable and head to my first lesson. English. I have English a lot because we had a choice to pick lessons we get more of than the others and because we had a good teacher I chose English not knowing the boys would choose that as well. I walk through the door and all heads snap to my direction.

" omg hello Soph , you feeling better ?" Sir asks as I hand him my home work that's two weeks early.

" Uh yeh fine " I reply and walk to the back of the class.

" Okay because you all have been a pain you can start your homework now and then finish it at home , and for you Soph just do whatever you like " Sir smiles my way , I open the front pocket of my bag and get my phone and earphones, I put them in and start listening to my playlist that contains literally everything. When I was at home I started thinking about why I get bullied and abused and why everyone hates me , I can't even remember how it all started. I feel my self getting a headache so I rest my head in my hands and , head facing down , and close my eyes and let the music float around in my head. My headache gets even worse so I put my hand up and the teacher comes over.

" yes Soph ?" He asks

" May I go to my locker it's some headache pills " I explain

"Yeah go on " he smiles , I stand up and make my way out of class.

Calum's POV

I watch as Soph walks out of the classroom, this is my chance. I quickly out my hand up and the teacher comes to me.

" Yes Calum "

" May I go toilet ?" I ask politely

" Yes " he sighs , I quickly get up and rush to Sophia's locker , I wait there a couple minuets to see her coming out of the girls toilets , looking very pale . She looks over to me and her face turns worried.

" Why won't you leave me alone , both of us are gonna get shit " she sighs

" Why are you so pale ? You feeling okay and why are you wearing a scarf ?" I ask

" I'm fine , and I'm wearing a scarf to cover the bruises from Luke's hands " she replies

" Can I see ?" I ask , she sighs and nods , I carefully un wrap the scarf and see a huge purple bruise on her neck , I lightly brush my finger over it before wrapping her scarf back round and pulling her into my arms , it surprises her at first but then she hugs back, after a minuet or so we pull away.

" What was that for ?" She asks

" To show you I do care " I reply and hold her wrists but she winces in pain and pulled away making me worried. " Show me your wrists " I say , she hesitates at first but then pulls up her sleeves revealing a couple light scars that are hard to see and some little scabs. I'm speechless.

" I know , their ugly " She says , letting a tear slip , I can't even put something in a sentence before she walks away leaving me guilty as fuck in the hall way.
